SIDELIGHTS OF SILVER
BOW TRADES COUNCIL

The Montana Labor News ex-
presses its sincere appreciation to
the business firms for their gem
erous advertising in the special La
Dor Day issue of the Montana Labor
News.
Some criticism was expressed by
one of the delegates of the Trades
and Labor Council last Tuesday in
reference to the overcrowded con-
dition at the Hawthorne school,
According to statements made, the
school authorities intend to transfer
some of the children from the
Hawthorne school to the Whittier
school.
An enlightening discussion took
place on this subject in which it was
brought out that teachers in this
district actually have a smaller
number of pupils in classes than
prevails in other parts of the state.
It was also shown that while it was
impossible to have an equal number
Of students in each class, that sin
cere efforts were being made so that
no teacher would have a cumber-
some number of students.
Most of the delegates seemed to
feel that the protest Of the people in
the Hawthorne District should be
presented to the School Board OF
to the parent teachers association
for solution.
Harry Hopkins, National W. P. A
Director, will speak at the High
School Auditorium tonight. Mem
bers of organized labor are request

cements affecting their welfare will
be given according to statements
made at the Trades and Labor
Council.

UNIONS DEMAND AN
INCREASE IN WAGES

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council in its last meeting again
took up the discussion of an increase
in wages paid to w. p. A. workers
in Silver Bow County. The present
wage schedules are paid on a basis
of population. Under the w. P. A.
regulations, cities of $4,000 are en-
titled to a little more money than
those under that figure. The wag-
es now paid are $4,000 for common
labor, $500 for skilled labor, and
$77.00 for professional work. These
scales would be increased to $500
for common labor, and $4,000 for
skilled labor and $500 for profess
sional work.
A committee was appointed from
the Trades and Labor Council a
week ago last Tuesday to interview
the local w. P. A. officials and also
Mr.. Joe Parker, the State Director.
In the report of the county made
last Tuesday it was stated that the
committee received sincere coopera-
ton from the W. P. A. officials and
confidence was expressed that the
increase asked for by the Central
Labor Council would be granted.
Following is a letter to Senator
Wheeler requesting assistance:
SILVER BOW TRADES AND
LABOR COUNCIL
Butte, Montana,
September 8, 1886
Hon. Sen. Burton K. Wheeler,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Senator:
At our regular meeting it was I'M
animously adopted to petition you
for a reclassification of our City to
rightly conform with same to class
same in $4,000 to 100000 class.
Enclosed find maps and popula-
ton data of the city of Butte, and
that additional portion which lies
within a radius of three miles of the
city limits, which proves that the
population is well over $1,000. AS
a result higher wage S iales could be
operative in this city.
We are confident you will investi-
gate the figures we submit and the
precinct map which accompanies
them and consequently give consid-
Grafton to our appeal for a higher
wage scale.
The total electoral registration OF
these precincts which lie in and adj
jacent to the city of Butte is well
over $4,000 which is positive proof
that the population we estimate in
this statement is, if anything, toe
conservative.
We urgently make this appeal to
you in hope that the working peo-
pie of this community are given the
justice they deserve.
Respectfully yours,
HARRY j. GRIMES, Secretary

MINERS Object
TO CREATION OF
FOOD COMBINE

that the City Council has been asked
by the Labor-Employer Co-opera-
tive Council to pass and put into OPP
Grafton an ordinance to restrict
or license the peddlers around
the City of Butte and believing that
the restricting or barring of peddlers
will lead to a condition of monopoly
that will result in doing away with
competition and when that comes
about, who is to protect us from the
eve rising prices?
A protest and resolution is here
with presented.
A family that depends on a wage,
a salary, OF any restricted income
has just so much money on hand to
spread around between the landlord
and the light company, the water
company, the telephone company,
the clothing store and the grocery
store. When a condition arises that
any commodity is priced above the
limit of this income either that
commodity has to be eliminated
from the family budget or some
thing else has to be cut out or re-
duced. AS the landlord, the light
company, the water company, and
the various other companies, will in
no way reduce their bills, it stands
to reason that the only thing that
can be done is to cut down on the
clothing and food bills. Now cloth
ing is something that we cannot be
on the street without, and as that
expense is nearly always constant,
very little can be saved along that
line SO it remains to cut the food
bill for the entire amount, and when
the living standard of a family is
reduced we foster the sharpest kind
Of a discomfort.
Now, anything that would tend to
create a monopoly would no doubt
open a price-raising campaign, we
are always opposed to anything that
will raise prices and lower our liv-
ing standards, and to the best of our
knowledge this is just what this
proposed ordinance would do; so the
Butte Miners Union has adopted
the following resolution and pre-
sented it to the City Council:
BUTTE MINERS UNION No. /
1. U. of NJ, M. and S. ".
Butte, Montana
September LIST, 1886.
Hon. Charles Hauswirth, Mayor,
and the City Council of Butte.
Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to our
knowledge that the Cooperative
Council, which is composed of a
number of trade unions and repre-
sentatives of various business in
stitutions of Silver Bow County has
presented to the City Council a pro-
posed City Ordinance restricting or
licensing peddlers within the con-
fines of the City of Butte, and
WHEREAS, The Miners Union
feels that the passage of such an
ordinance would be detrimental to
the interests of its members, be-
cause; when we eliminate competi-
ton we encourage the growth of
monopoly,
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED,
That the Mayor and the City Coun-
Gil be informed that the Butte Min
ers' Union are opposed to the pas
sage of this ordinance, and desire
that its representatives be given an
opportunity to express their objec-
tons.
Yours truly,
(Signed):

Negro 4-H Clubs
Expanded Through
The Negro Youths

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 30
The growth of Negro All club work
in North Carolina is accredited in
large measure to the contagious en-
thusiasm shown by many of the club
hoys and girls.
An enthusiastic club member has
more influence than an adult farm
or home agent in arousing in non
members a desire to share in the
benefits of the club work, said John
w. Mitchell, district Negro farm
agent of the Ctate College extension
service.
When non-rnembers see the projects
their friends are learning to carry
out. and when they hear of the good
times had at club meetings, Mitchell
added, they also wish to join club
This is especially true in the case
of club boys and girls who went 20
the Negro All short course at A. &
T. College, Greensboro, the last week
in August, then returned to their
home communities to tell their
friends and neighbors about club
work. Mitchell pointed out.
Their enthusiasm has also spread
to number of communities where
there are no clubs, he continued, and
boys and girls in these communities
are asking for clubs to be organized.
Mitchell stated that where boys
and girls take the initiative in get
ting a club organized, they often do
more and better work than in clubs
where the farm or home agent had to
shoulder all the responsibility for or
ganizing the clubs. and getting the
work started

"Ask Mrs. Holworthy to come in
If she isn't busy" he said.
Agnes Holworthy was SO, bril-
liant, brittle and kind. She was
the copy chief in charge of wom-
ems accounts. John Sayre had
asked her to show Alix Carey the
way to her new work. The salary,
she told Alix, was $45 a week.
Then she gave her some work and
good advice.
Don't take it so hard" Mrs.
Holworthy said a month later.
you're doing all right. Mr.. Cor
don was particularly pleased with
the way you handled the Crozier
account. think I'll let you handle
the whole thing"
So, Alix fitted quietly, surely into
her new position, into the change
that had come in her life.
For there were other changes.
Through Kathleen-and Kim-her
social world was growing. She had
a modest apartment to which she
invited her new friends for little
suppers. Kim had, as kathleen
had predicted, pursued her and to
him she owed many grand times.
In September she was no longer
a newcomer to the copy depart
ment. It was the Warner Fabric
company, manufacturers of syn.
thetic decorative fabrics, became a
new account. The copy depart
ment buzzed with ideas in the
making.
John Sayre said he wanted to
hear all of them personally and at
once. !;

Sayre looked at his watch.

night and want him to hear this.
Would you mind very much break

'Not at ALL" she said graciously
as though her body had not left
her and only her voice remained.

Earth Mounds On
Peach Trees Can
Do Serious Harm

College Station, Raleigh, Sept 30
Inc little mounds of earth placed a
round the trunks of peach trees !,
treating them with paradichloroben.
zene to control peach borers should
not be left TOO long.
This chemical, frequently refarro.
to as r. ID. b" may injure the trees
unless the mounds are leveled ofe
within reasonable time, said C. IT
Brannon, extension entomologist At
State College.
The mounds may be left around
| four or five year old trees for month
without danger, he added. Older trees
will stand the. treatment for siv
weeks without injury.
Brannon pointed out that P. D
, is the only material that gives sat
lsfactory control of peach borers, and
he urged all growers to use it when
their trees are infested
Three to four year old trees NAV
be treated with three-fourths of an
ounce. Trees six years old or older
may be treated safely with a full
ounce, while an aunce and a quarter
may be applied without danger to
WY OAA SASOS WILL large trunks.
If two and three year old trees are
badly infested, they may be treated
| with half an ounce.
To treat a tree, Brannon said
scrape gum from the trunk, clear
away weeds from the area close to
the tree trunk, level off the earth
and apply the P. D. B. crystals in
ring around the tree about one inch
from the trunk
Be sure that the earth is high
enough to be above the highest borer
| hole, he said, as the gas from the
| crystals is heavier than air and will
not rise above the level at which the
| crystals are placed.
After laying the crystals around the
| trunk, cover them with a small mound
of earth. After four to six weeks
| brush away the mound and let any
| remaining gas escape.

he was prepared to approve her
plans.
Alix plunged into the core of her
plans, to engage the Viennese de-
signer, Max Kleermann, who had
made an art of designing stream
lined industrial products but who
had demonstrated his mastery Of
line and color for artistic results in
every practical purpose. She told
him that she had come on the idea
when she had utilized some of his
fabric samples in building some
miniature stage sets.
He wanted to know what she
meant by her miniature stage sets.
She told him about the way that
she and kathleen made them for
Kim's plays. She told it with a
note Of apology for intruding q
personal note in their dinner-con-
ference. She didn't know what q
charming note it was.
Then she told him the way
Kleermann's designs might be
worked into displays Of rooms In
which his fabric might be used for
furniture, curtains and other de-
tails.
At the end of her uninterrupted
telling, she faltered. There was
nothing in either Sayre's or War
ner's face to tell her what their
reactions were.
That's as far as I've pro-
gressed," she said to Warner a lit
tie weakly and looked at Sayre.

The idea is the thing! A very
sound idea. had something like
that in mind myself but, by golly,
that Kleermann angle would put it
over" Warner nounc d
thoughtfully.
"A lucky break for me-" he said,
giving his hand to Alix. "Shall we
celebrate? The evenings young

New York in six months. You
look as though you might like
dancing. Shall we try the Star

AK looked at JOhn Sayre VINO

"a fine idea, Bill. My cars at
the door,"
Sayre's big town car turned into
Fifth avenue and sped smoothly
north and suddenly Warner sat
forward on the seat. Sorry.
John," he said, 1--WE just remem-
bered that I've got to meet my
sales manager at the Waldorf at
nine-thirty. I'd completely forgot

breath, folded her hands and

He wasn't sure, even as he said
it, that he had intended to say ii

She moistened her lips with the tip
of her tongue. II S. think it's

He sat back and regarded her.
"She won't last" he was thinking.
"She's too pretty. She'll work
hard and train hard and just when
she is Of some value, she'll marry

writer's" But aloud he said:

what her first name there's
another reward that goes with the
winning of the slogan contest.
The agency wishes to make ges-
ture of appreciation. It's a pro-
motion to the copy department"
Alix sat back and caught her
two hands together. It was an un-
conscious, childish gesture she
adopted because they trembled so.
II am to be promoted to the
copy department ?"
He smiled at her and stood up.
He was afraid if she stayed any

many young business women were

Alix stood up, too.
"See Mrs. Holworthy," he said.
She'll tell you all about it. Can

Alix nodded her head. Yes, in

MT. AIRY WPA LAKE
HAS PLENTY WATER
Useless BoOndoggling Charges by
Republicans Refuted by Fill
ing of Large Basin
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

ny de Cs BASKERVILLE
Raleigh, Sept. 30-The story so
about Mt. Airy's dry lake" built by
the WPA and seized upon by Repub-
lican propagondists as one of the big
gest examples of useless "boondog-
Cling" by the Works Profess Admin
lstration, was nothing but a cam
paign pipedreann by an imaginative
reporter who either did not know the
facts or did not want to know them,
according to the Mt. Airy News and
WPA officials here.
The facts in the case are that there
rs now between seven and nine feet
of water in the Mt Airy lake, and
that the water was flowing into it so
rapidly that it had to be diverted so
that the dam might become water
soaked and accustomed to the pres
sure from the water, according to
Fred j. Coin, head of the division of
information of the WPA here. Cohn
also pointed out that the dam was
not constructed by the WPA, but is
a natural dam formed by a railroad
fill near Mt. Airy and that the only
thing necessary to form the lake was
the closing of a culvert at the base
Of this fill, through which a small
stream has been flowing for years.
According to the September 3 is
sue of the Mt. Airy News, the reason
no effect was made until recently to
fill the lake, was because the basin
had not yet been completely prepar-
ed and was not ready for the lake,
also that the biggest part of the pro-
ject was the cleaning up of $50 acres
on the watershed of the lave, the
building Of a Boy Scout Camp, a
pavilion for use by the public for
outings and picnics and finally the
stopping up of the culvert in the rail-
road fill to form the lake.
CAS- we see it, any talk of a lake
or any other work on the watershed
is a matter of secondary Importance
and secondary to very small de-
gree" the Mt. Airy News says edi-
toriaily. "The main and primary pur-
pose of the project was to afford a
means of utilizing our unemployment
-. without placing heavy burden of
taxation on our own city govern
ment.''

anyway, she thought. She lin
gered over the white chiffon know
ing that it pointed up the fragile
beauty of her small-boned figure
and the perfection of her coloring.
She knew also that it was a dance
frock and not at all the sort to
wear to business dinner even if
her escorts were wearing black
tieS".
She decided on the black suit.
And was not little pleased with
the result when she examined the
finished effect. The suit of heavy
black crepe consisted Of a frock
with long, slim skirt which fell
to the floor in an unbroken line,
and a shirtwaist top of finely
pleated white sheer fabric with a
small mannish tie of black. Over
this there was a short fitted jacket
with smart lapels and long, tight
sleeves.
It gave her height and dignity
and accentuated the flowing lines
Of her figure, the beauty of her
hair. She resisted the impulse to
add a bracelet but she picked up
huge white chiffon handkerchief
and her green bag when the door
bell buzzer sounded announcing the
arrival of Sayre's motor.
He was waiting for her in the

They measured each other across

"Please do" she said.
