RESOLUTION OF
UNIONS ASSAIl
THIRD PARTIES

ing Present Setup.

The Montana State Federation of
Labor, at its convention at Billings
the latter part of June, was very
definite in its attitude and policy
regarding politics in the forthcom-
ing election.
One of the most outstanding of
the resolutions adopted at that his
toric meeting was mi relating to
new political parties. The pro-
posed formation of which was Bit
terly condemned by the delegates.
1t will be noted in reading the res
olution relating to this subject that
the sponsors had reason to believe
that Eastern money may be sent
into Montana this fall to defeat
President Roosevelt and Senator
Murray and that other political
parties would defect the liberal
and labor vote. The resolutions

Angsiman Pays Unions
A Visit During His Stay

Albert A. Angstman paid us a
visit during his stay in Butte re-
Gently when he was renewing old
friendships. Labor groups from
Butte will remember Mr.. Angst
man best as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, where he always
took a liberal and progressive view
in important cases, particularly in
compensation cases in which he was
generally found on the side of the
injured workman. Through this
attitude he became recognized by
the unions as the champion of their
rights in the Montana court.
Since the corporations got rid of
him in the last election, he has
served as counsel for the Railroad
and Public Service Commission.
His record there has been one of
outstanding service for the common
people. In the general election,
this year, he is again running for
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court on the Judicial Non-P Partisan
ballot.

WOMEN RETURN
FROM ROCHESTER
UNION MEETING
Delegates Shea And Mattausch
Arrive Home.

Stating that the convention of the
international Union of Hotel and
Restaurant Employees at Rochester,
New York, August l0th-15th was
outstanding in the constructive
work performed and the number of
resolutions acted upon, Bridget
Shea, business agent of the Wo-
mems Protective Union of Butte,
and Lena Mattausch, secretary of
the same union, in a report Tuesday
evening drew a graphic picture of
the operations of the national con
vention.
That the trade union movement
in the United States is growing by
leaps and bounds is evidenced by a
statement made by Mrs. Mattausch
in which she said that her organi-
cation, in less than two years, had
grown from a membership of 50,-
900 to 100000 and was still grow
ing. Much of the business of the
convention was turned over to the
Executive Board to consummate be-
tween now and the next conven-
ton.
In one resolution the convention
deplored the rift in the American
Federation of Labor which is at
tracing so much attention. The
convention also went on record as
endorsing President Roosevelt and
pledging support to his reelection.
According to the Butte delegates,
approximately 400 representatives
were present. Quite a number of
these came from the West. San
Francisco sent %, Seattle 8 and Ia
coma l. The same officers were
elected by the convention, namely:
Edward Flore, president; Mr.. Os-
borne, Vice President and Robert
Hesketh, Secretary Treasurer. Mrs.
Shea and Mrs. Mattausch visited
New York City after the convention
and also made a short stop in Chi
cago.

Police Captain Says Union Or

CHICAGO. - (FP) - Union or

Demsky of Chieago's Twentieth dis
trict police when officials of the
Radio Workers Federal Union 49,

They had asked him, in the com

terms they would be permitted by
the police to distribute to the 1000
employees of the Zenith radio plant
the copies of the Peoples Press with
radio union news. The lawyer

and you'll soon e what happens.
Any organizing activity round that
Zenith plant is a nuisance"

The Man Who Exposed Chisel-
ing Contractors on Govern
ment Projects To Address
People AT Miners Union Hall.
Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council Sponsoring Event.
Don't Fail to Hear How the
Government Persecutes Work
erS When War Department Is
In Control.

James Graham, President of the
Montana Federation of Labor, in a
long distance telephone message to
Executive Board members of Butte,
stated that Haven Perkins, the mill
tant leader of the Federal Labor
Union at Glasgow would be avail
able to speak in Butte Monday, Au-
gust 31st. The Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council grasped the OPP
portunity and authorized the state
president to send Mr.. Perkins here
and guaranteed his expenses.
Haven Perkins is one of the Of
ficers Of the Federal Labor Union
of Glasgow and is also delegate to
the Valley County Trades and La
Dor Council. He has been very ac-
tive in the union movement in the
Fort Peck district and has sent out
communications to the liberal news
papers of Montana and other places
throughout the country. It is
largely through the efforts of Mr..
Perkins that the people of the
United States have become familiar
with the unsanitary, brutal chisel-
ing conduct of the contractors on
the project and also with the War
Department officials with work I'M
der their supervision. Perkins has
shown to what depths of degreda-
ton the employers can go for the
sake Of money. He has also
shown what the workers may ex-
pect from government agencies
where they are allowed to run wild
without any union supervision.
The Miners Union hall shouldn't
be able to hold the audience that
should attend this speaker. If you
want to get first hand information
of what has been transporting in
Fort Peck the last several years, go
to hear him. Perkins has been per-
secuted by the civil authorities and
by the employers for telling the
truth. He has been thrown in Jail
and threatened to be run out of the
country.
President Graham, of the Mon
tana Federation of Labor, is in Fort
Peck at the present time looking
into the conditions there. The con-
vention of the Federation of Labor
at Billings authorized Bruce Stein
matt, president of the Cascade
Trades and Labor Council, and
Graham, to visit the Fort Peck area
and make a thorough investigation.
The government has also promised
to send investigators to cooperate
with the trade unions.
Remember the date, Monday, Au-
gust 31st, at the Miners Union hall,
82R East Park Street.
Haven Perkins is a Rhodes
scholar and came out here from
New York City. He will teach this
fall at Commonwealth College,
Mena, Ark. Commonwealth is a
labor students college with lots of
union men students, some being
sent by their unions. Students work
out their board. A number of
sharecroppers attend. All of them
study economics and labor prob
lens. Perkins will teach organiza-
ton of the unemployed, labor his
tory and union organization. He
was on the Central Executive Com
mittee of what is now the New
York Workers Alliance and was an
organizer for the Federal Union

Graham Leaves for Fort Peck

Word was received that James
Graham, president of the Montana
Federation of Labor has left for
the Fort Peck area to investigate
working conditions and abuses that
have developed there, both by the
contractors and also in cases where
the War Department employs
workers directly. The vile condi-
tons which have existed in Fort
Peck since the beginning of this
project has made a stencil through
out the whole United States, and
many efforts have been made, both
by the union organizations at Glas-
gov, and the State Federation of
Labor to have them remedied.
AT the last convention of the
Federation, which was held at Bill
lings, the delegates authorized its
president and Bruce Steinmatz,
president of the Cascade Trades
and Labor Council to make a thor
ough Investigation of the whole dis
trict.
From authoritative sources it has
been learned that one of the lead
ers in the unions has been repri-
manded and expelled from the Val
ley County Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil by President Green of the
American Federation of Labor. No
details of this action are available
at the moment, but it is regretable
that such an action should come
just at a time when the unions of
Montana are trying their utmost to
make living conditions for the
workers more bearable.

Union Party Condemned

The labor unions at the joint
meeting at Billings also condemned
Lemke, Coughlin, O'Brien, Gerald
Smith, ct al and the Union party,
which they described as being Diet
rimental to the plans and wishes of
organized labor. These clean-cut
declarations of the unions in the
convention of the State Federation
of Labor should act as a guide to all
the union folks and their sympa-
thizers in determining their actions
toward supporting any outlaw in
dependent political organizations or
tickets.

fellowship and love. After a morning
of interesting class study and an af-
ternoon of fun and frolic, the sky
which was gradually lit by guardian
stars, beckoned us in our prayer
groups to search our lives for the
barriers which kept US from close
contact with God.
Everything in that never-to-be-for-
gotten week on the mountain top har-
monized together for one purpose
to let God come into our hearts, to
give Him the key to the smallest cup
board where sunlight be secretly hid
ing. The practical foundations of
Christian living which we built that
week has nodded an unshakable faith,
trust, devotion and service to Christ.
This living for Christ is a steady
growth, not passing experience to
be forgot.
That mountain top experience put
in our hands the key of new life in
the valley-a reality of God as a per-
sonal friend who does guide us if we
are silent in His presence.
