and free, have a strangle hold upon us.
This year is a decisive moment. The
nation and this state are confronted
with n great problem, a fundamental
commitment to one Of two ideals Of
government, government either for the
few and the %entrenched on their own
terms, or government socially aware OF
the needs of all its people in new and
critical times. The nation made its
choice four years ago in the election Of
President Roosevelt. The state will
make its choice this year with the cleo
ton Of Miles Romney to the office Of
Governor.
1t is not my habit to throw mud on
my opponents, facts will suffice to
bring into clear relief their aims. The
significant opponents are three: Mr..
Maury, who, without regard for the
time or the power of a Governor,
promises everything to everyone; Mr..
Holt and Mr.. Ayers, who make few
promises except those perceived in
their past records as sponsors of the
corporate interests. | dismiss Ayers

had. In every cause, however just, he

WORKERS UNION BETRAYED
BY THE MONTANA RELIEF COMMISSION

When the tannely first started in
October 1884, the government appro-
priated money for its construction.
This money was used in ~remodeling the
structure of the old Butte %Butchering
plant. 1t was built at a cost Of $l75,-
900. This included labor and ma
chinery. Each month until November
1st, 1885, there was $4,000 Of govern
ment funds appropriated for the opera
ton Of the tannery. In November the
Montana Relief Commission took the
plant over and operated it under the
Montana Relief Commission with the
balance of the money which was ap-
propriated by the government.
On the first Of March a committee Of
the Leather Workers union met with
the Montana Relief Commission and
had $4,000 appropriated to run the
tannery for the month Of March.
Statement by Leather Workers Union.
We operated ten days, then the Mon
tana Relief Commission closed it down
and said there were no further funds.
So we proposed a cooperative plan,
whereby we would sell the leather to
get an operating fund to run the tam
merry and employ 100 to 200 men,
thereby taking them off the relief rolls

Honorable Joseph P. Monaghan has
been touring the State since his re-

United States Senate. He received Nat

tana. The Montana Relief Commits
sion thought this would be a good plan.
So on the 30th day of April we pre-
sented this plan to the Montana Re-
lief Commission and they turned il
down cold and on the same day that
we were e there, April 30th, they
signed a contract with the Feredal
Surplus Commodity Corporation to re-
move all hides from Silver Bow County.
The Montana Relief Commission lead
us to believe that they were in sym
pathy and would assist us in our CO.
operative plan, but the sale that they
made the same day to the Surplus
Commodity Corp. is proof that we were
duped and betrayed by the Commission.
There were 100000 sheep pelts in
Miles City; they sold 100000 sheep
pelts, but retained 10000 to be proc
essed; but in Silver Bow County they
sold all Of the COW hides, which was
approximately $1,000. When we were
told this by the Governor we asked
him if he didn't think this was discrim-
nation against Silver Bow County and
he said, yes" He said that he would
take the matter with the Montana Re-
lief Commission and see that one third
OF the hides wa retained in Silver Bow

ton. He introduced a resolution to that
effect. Bosone's committee recommend
ed non concurrence, and the convention
supported the committee and voted
the resolution down. This was all the
resolutions Bosone had at the moment
SO Bill Riddell began a report Of the
resolutions committee. He started off
with a resolution relating trailroad con
solidation and it contained the correc-
tons in the issuance of watered stocks
in that proposed consolidation. The next
resolution was the bone of contention
in the convention. 1t related to the
authority Of Central Labor Councils
to establish rates Of pay for local
unions in their communities. This
story is woven around the activities
of Bruce Steinmetz and Homer Whit
more of Great Falls who sought to
raise the scales Of wages to be paid
on highway construction by the High
way Commission through the Cascade
Labor Council The constitution of the
American Federation of Labor prohi-
bits Central Labor Councils from es-
tablishing rates of pay for local unions.
This resolution was referred back to
the resolutions committee with a COM
mand by Graham that this committee
have a joint conference with the Griev-
ence a joint conference both commit
tees thrash this out. As it happened,
about 80 per cent of the delegates Of
the convention together with the COM
mittees remained over for the hearings.
1t was finally adopted. Another reso-
luton by Hamilton approving public
ownership of industry was adopted The
next resolution was by Hamilton re-
lating to reinsurance of public build
ings. This was in connection with the
State Insurance Law and was adopted.
The convention again went on record
for the industrial union movement, in
Resolutions Nos. 5, 9 and IL. The con-
vention pledged itself to the reelection
Of President Roosevelt by endorsing
Labor's Nonpartisan Campaign League
which was supported by the A. F. Of
L. The Firemen had a resolution relat-
ing to an 8 hour work day for them
and the convention went on record as
favorable to new legislation to secure
the operation of such a system. That
concluded the partial report Of Bill
Riddell. Then Ed. Davis Of the Edu-
cation Committee began a partial re-
port. He began with the resolution re-
lating to the teachers retirement fund
in which the State Federation Of Labor
was asked to support legislation to
secure a proper retirement fund by put
ting more money into it. This being
Thursday and nearing the close Of the
convention, Secretary Helterbran Of
the Yellowstone Trades and Labor
Council stated that sandwicheSan beer
would be served at 8 o'clock that night
followed by a dance.
The first thing Friday morning, the
last day Of the convention, chairman

POLITICIANS HAVE THEIR DAY

A startling statement was made by
Sam Mitchell at the Trades and Labor
Council last Tuesday in which he sad
that a rumor had been circulated around
the state that he had been blackballed
by some of the Central Labor Councils.
Sam Mitchell is a candidate for Secrc-
tary of State on the Democratic ticket,
During the time that he wa general
business agent of the Clerks union
of Butte he built that organization up
so that it became the largest clerk
organization in the United States, He
fought the employers association. He
defied the Anaconda company and got
conditions and wages for his union
members unexcelled anywhere in the
country. The Chamber Of Commerce
and Associated Industries may have
b~lackballed him, but no Central Labor
Council.
In his address to the delegates, how
ever, he urged the need of remedial
legislation, specially in relation to the
institutions.

Labor Unions to participate in Nominator's Ball
at Columbia Gardens July IL.
Organization Of Workers determined that the
President shall be Reelected.
Tickets for the dance being sold out rapidly.
Unions have pledged cooperation.

Extensive arrangements have been
made by union delegates and commit
ties for the Roosevelt Rally at Columbia
Gardens, Fri, July II. Speakers have
been engaged and all preliminary work
completed to entertain a huge crowd.
Bruce Kremer, who recently returned
from Washington is cooperating with
Chairman William Malloy and arous-
ing enthusiasm for the meeting. This
whole idea Of a Roosevelt Rally origi-
mated among several of the heads of
International Trade unions and has for
its purpose the raising OF money by the
trade unions Of the United States to
assist President Roosevelt to be re-
elected. The antagonism Of the cor
porations to the Roosevelt administra-
ton has become so bitter and venomous
that this plan has been devised to con-
solidate the working people Of the
country behind the great liberal leader.
Many of the unions have donated from
their treasures to assist the movement.
Some of the unions of Butte owe
their %origination to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Others owe increases in
wages and reduced hours to President
Roosevelt. It is only right that they
should now get behind him and try to
offset by their assistance the money
that is being pooled by the corpora
tons to encompass his defeat.

SHERIFF LARRY WEIR
TALKS TO TRADES
COUNCIL

Sheriff Larry Weir who is again
seeking office of sheriff of Silver Bow
County dwelt on the industrial dis
putes which have taken place in Butte
in the last 20 years in an eloquent talk
before the delegates of the Silver Bow
Trades, Thursday. His most signifi-
cant statement was that he had been
asked by the Anaconda Copper Mining
company to deputize 200 gun men for
the strike in 1884 and that he refused
to employ any men named by the COM
pany; that he had always stood Loyalty
by organized labor and would continue
to do so if reelected. The present
sheriff has a conception OF rights which
is sadly lacking in many officials
throughout the country and that is that
labor has the same rights under the
Constitution as businesses and corpor-
atoms.

ROCK MINER
WOULD ENFORCE LAW
Former President of Miners
Union Seeking Position
of Sheriff.

The Miners Union headquarters will
put out a communication appealing to
people to consider miners for political
offices. There is abundant justifica-
ton for the circular and for its ap-
peal. Too often the general public do
not give enough consideration and
thoughtfulness to the need OF taking
some Of the miners out from the dark
ness, the toll, the dust, and the danger
of underground and rewarding them
with a public position.
One of the most prominent miners
who is seeking a rest from toll and a
reward from the people is Neil Weston,
who was the first president of the
Miners union at the time Of its reoi-
ganization in 1888. Weston has spent
IS years in the mines. Not only has
he given wealth to the community and
to the company but he has assisted the
union at all times in negotiating agree
ments with the company, and in other
ways rendering the best that was in
him at all times for his fellow work
ers.
Weston is modest and unselfish. This
is the first time that he has ever ap-
pealed to the people to award him for
what he has given them. Weston is an
interesting fellow to talk to. In his
"reminiscences Of early days he recalled
the establishment Of the Miners union
at a lite town called Zoriman. The
men got together at midnight and es-
tablished an independent union which
later affiliated with the Western FEEDER
alton OF Miners. From that time-1902
until the present he has never sew
cred his relationship with the union
movement.

EARL SIMON'S ORCHESTRA TO

The Musicians union is particularly
interested in the success OF this UNI
dertaking and the Earl Simon's or
chestra Of eight pieces has been en-
gagged.
The committee has sent out personal
letters TO all Democratic state caudi-
dates to attend the ball. This event is
national in scope and was held gem
orally throughout the country on the
day that President Roosevelt accepted
the nomination. Butte was allowed a
postponement of its nominator's rally
because at that time the Eagles cele-
bration was being held here and it was
thought by the committee that a later
day would be appropriate.
