Auxiliary Meeting

Misscula-Mrs Edna Reyes, who
recently returned from a convention Of
the American Federation OF Women's
Auxiliary held at Washington, is high
in her praise OF this organization. In
all interview with union delegates she
stated, THE conference I attended in
Washington had for its purpose the
organizing Of a national American
Federation Of Women's Auxilaries to
Labor. The present organization plans
are not yet fully developed but will be
completed upon the converting of the
American Federation OF Labor conven-
ton at Tampa, Florida, this fall At
the meeting | attended, Matthew Vol
was the presiding officer and M. Orn-
burn, Secretary OF the Union Labor
Trades Department assisted. Eight
grand ladies auxiliaries were represen-
ted at the meeting. | was a delegate
from the Ladies Auxiliary Of the Bro
therhood Of Maintenance OF Way En-
ployes as their Grand President. /
carried credentials also from the local
of the Women's Union Label League.
However this latter credentials only en-
titled me to the privileges of a frater-
nal delegate. My credentials however
from the Railway Brotherhood entitled
me to all OF the rights and privileges
OF the full pledged delegate. During
my stay in Washington, D. c., I was
particularly pleased with a visit that
had been arranged for the ladies by
the Garment Workers Union to have
an informal tea with Mrs. Roosevelt.
I discovered that she is a very charm
ing woman and is we'll informed about
labor unions and conditions.
Next I had the pleasure OF meeting
Brother Bear, the famous cartoonist
for Labor the Railway publication.
My next desire is to attend the con
vention OF the Montana State Fedora
ton of Labor, to be held in Billings

UNIONS TO PROTEST
TANNERY CLOSING

Secretary OF the Trades and Labor
Council was authorized to protest to
the State Relief Commission, to both
Montana senators and congressman
and to the Governor the proposed
closing Of the tannery in Butte. Ac-
cording to the delegates from the tan
merry organization, some of the men in
supervisory positions at the tannery
have recently been dismissed which
would lead them to believe that this
institution is shortly to be definitely
closed up. The protests OF the I'M
ions, it is regretable to admit, has fall
en- on deaf ears SO far, and apparently
this establishment, which is so benefit
cial to this community, must go the
way OF all other enterprises that pro-
progressive people here have attempted
to inaugurate.

North Dakota Plan OF
Pensions Approved

Washington, D. C.-The Social Sec
urity Board has announced approval
Of the old-age assistance plan of North
Dakota, bringing to a total Of p the
States with approved old-age assist
ance plans.
AS a result Of this action, the Fed
eral Government will match dollar for
dollar the State and local expenditures
Of North Dakota for aid to its aged
and will also provide this State with
a grant to cover the administrative
expenses of its work among the needy
aged.
North Dakota authorities estimate
that $3.50 needy aged persons will re-
ceive benefits under the State plan,
and that the average monthly grant
will be $1,000 per person. The North
Dakota plan is administered by County
Boards under the supervision Of the
State Board Of Public Welfare.
Under the old-age pension law for
merly in effect in this State, North
Dakota provided assistance during 1884
for 3,914 persons. They received only
one payment during the year, averag-
ing 500 per person.
Through the old-age assistance pro
visions of the Social Security Act, the
Federal Government shares equally
with the States, responsibility for the
care Of their needy aged. When a
States plan for old-age assistance is
approved by the Social Security Board,
the Federal Government grants that
State a sum equal to the amount the
State spends for old-age assistance up
TO a combined total OF $4,000 per
month per person. In addition, 5 per-
cent Of the amount of the Federal
grant is given the State for admins
trative costs. Each State decides for
itself which of its aged are entitled to
aid and how much aid shall be given.
To be approved by the Social Sec
urity Board, under the terms Of the
Social Security Act, a States old-age
assistance plan must provide for cash
payments to needy aged persons in all
parts Of the State. A single State
agency must administer the plan or
supervise its administration if the plan
is directly administered by the coun-
ties. This State agency must grant
the opportunity for an appeal from a
decision Of the county denying assist
ance,

Inter Mountain Trans
portation Co. Organized

The Organization Committee of the
International Brotherhood OF Teams
tiers, Chauffeurs, Stablemen, and Help
ers of the state Of Montana held their
fourth meeting in Billings, Montana
recently. The unions represented were
Butte, Great Falls, Missoula, Bozeman
and Helena. This meeting showed that
the committee is making good pro-
gress in organizing the teamsters since
the organization of this committee last
October, there has been paid into the
state fund by different locals, $963.75
Out OF this, the committee has paid
$722 in wages to organizers in Billings
and Helena. The total expenses of the
meeting Of the committee, which pays
train fares and hotel expenses only
amounted to $162.16, showing that the
money is practically all spent for or
ganization purposes.
A report at the Billings meeting, was
made on the recent wage scale pre-
sented to the State Highway Commits
sion, that the committee was going to
endeavor 10 get the cooperation OF the
State Federation to get this scale ac-
cepted by the Highway Commission. It
was also reported there that the In
%termountain Bus Company was organ
lied 100 per cent in the state OF Mon
tana. The drivers working for that
company have to belong to the local
union located in the city they work out
OF. This company and the Great Falls
Bus Company are the only two thor
oughly organized companies in the
state. 1t is reported that the Bacon
Transfer Company in Billings have
agreed to sign the agreement as soon
as the N. P. agrees.
Mr.. Fullmer of the independent Mot
or Freight has agreed to turn over
the transference OF all freight by that
company in Billings, to a fair transfer
company. There was an action taken
there to prevent the Bruce Cook Tran
sfer Company Of Billings, which is UNI
fair, from delivering any freight in
Great Falls. The recording secretary
was instructed to ask Kelly-Foley Co.
if they could get a fair trucking com
pany to deliver their gas and oil to
Butte in case the Whitney Trucking
Company became unfair.
Secretary Of the committee was also
instructed to take up the matter Of
unfairness OF the Ryan Fruit Company
in Bozeman and Billings, Montana, to
the head manager in Minneapolis. If
this company can not be forced to set
tie its difficulties to the unions in those
towns, the secretary was instructed to
take it up with the Blue Ribbon Beer
Company and ask that they get some
other company to deliver Blue Ribbon
Beer. It wa reported that there is to
be a meeting held some place in Wash
ington or California. This meeting is
called by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and at that meeting win
be representatives Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, representatives
from each State Railway Commission,
representatives of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor ana also representa-
tives OF the Transfers from each state.
The chairman and recording secretary
were given power, if necessary to send
a representative to that meeting as the
wages and hours of all interstate truck
drivers will be drawn up and put into
effect covering the entire Northwest.
1t was reported that the Helena situa-
ton is making progress.

800 MEN ATTEND OPEN AIR
MEETING

Glasgow More than eight hundred
men attended an open air mass meet
ing today under the auspices OF the
Fort Peck Federal Union american
Federation OF Labor 20,192). A mo-
ton was passed that residence in the
barracks be made optional, and the ex-
ecutive committee OF the Federal Union
was authorized to see Major L,arkin Sc
curing one representative from as many
of the other unions as could be con
tacted in a hurry. The workers feel
that if residence in the barracks is
made optional the other grievances,
such as the double hunks, will disap-
pear. Up till now a man whose family
was not in the territory had to live in
the barracks in order to hold his Job.
Some barracks now have thirty-six
hunks with double deckers all down one
side.
