Butte, Montana
Dear Senator:
The Miles City Trades and Labor
Council extend to you their undivi-
vided support for the good work
you have done for the workers of
the State of Montana and the Ma
ton.
We feel that you have represented
the Nations workers well and that
you are one of the outstanding fig
ures for the common people of Mon
tana and the United States of Amer
lea.
Therefore, we feel justified to
ask all laboring men and women
of the State of Montana to forget
their political affiliations and come
to the aid of our Senator James E.
Murray for reelection at the COM
ing general election.
The workers of America and
Montana should be proud Of your
labor record in the past two years
while serving in the capacity of
United States Senator, and we feel
that you will proceed if reelected
for the next six years to help the
workers and farmers of the nation
A vote for you as United States
Senator we feel is a vote for
Franklin D. Roosevelt; therefore, we
are urging every working man and
woman of Montana to vote fol
James E. Murray for United States
Senator at the coming general cleo
ton.
Be 1t Resolved, That a copy o.
this endorsement be sent to United

COMMENTS OF
THE unions

In a very quiet session of the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor
Council most of the time was oc-
cupied by discussion of the cele-
bration to be held at the Columbia
Gardens on Labor Day.
4 = 4
However, a request was read from
Albert Angstman for endorsement
by the Silver Bow Trades and La
Dor Council. MI. Angstman is
seeking the position of Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. 1t
will be remembered that judges,
both for the Supreme Court and
District Courts are now running on
what is termed, Non-Partisan Ju-
dicial Ballot, so that neither Judge
Angstman's nor Judge Matthews
name will appear on any of the
regular tickets as heretofore.
Another request came in from the
Tacoma Central Labor Council
stating that the Carman Manufac-
turing Company, the Gregory Fur
niture Manufacturing Company, F..
S. Harmon Manufacturing Company
and the Northwest Chair Company
are unfair to organized labor.
The letter from Tacoma states
that all of these companies r COM
petitors in the furniture market in
Butte. The letter was turned over
to the union label committee with
instructions to visit the stores and
notify the dealers that all furniture
made by these companies r unfair
to organized labor.
Another letter arrived from the
Newspaper Guild of Seattle giving
some facts concerning the strike
that is now in progress against the
Post-Intelligencer, a daily paper
put out by the Hearst Publishing
Company.
An announcement was made by
the Secretary that the Farmer-La-
Dor group meeting will be held at
the Miners Union Hall the evening
of September 3rd. No action was
taken by the Trades and Labor
Council to be represented.
The Labor Day celebration,
sponsored by the Cascade Trades
and Labor Council, is meeting with
splendid cooperation and enthus-
iasm by all the people of Cascade
County.
Indications are that it will out
rival anything of its kind ever held

UNIONS APPROVE
EFFORT TO BOOST
W.p.A. WAGE SCALE

The representative from the Mu-
sicians' Union presented an impor-
tant proposition to the delegates at
the last meeting of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council. He
pointed out that under the W. P. A.
wages are classified according to
population.
The workers on w. P. A. here are
rated on a population of $4,000.
This is obviously wrong. There are
more than $4,000 people in the area
from which the w. P. A. workers
are drawn ON projects in this COM
munity. There is no distinction
made between Meaderville, the
Flat, Centerville, or other outlying
suburbs of Butte. These should all
be added to the population. How
this could have been so long over
looked is strange.
The security earnings wages stip-
ulated on a basis of a population OF
$4,000 for common labor is $4,000;
under the higher rate it would be
$500. Four dollars a month isn't
a great deal, but it is something,
and this is the rate thai common
labor in Silver Bow County should
now be enjoying. Should the
unions be able to secure a different
classification, skilled labor would
be raised from $500 to $4,000 and
the professional or technical people
from $77.00 to $4,000.
A committee was appointed by
Chairman Comba, composed of Earl
Simmons of the Musicians, mover
of the motion; John Mullaney of
the Miners, and Tim Harrington, of
the Engineers.

LANDLORDS TRY
TO RAISE Rents

When the landlord comes to you
and says that he is raising your rent
because taxes have increased, tell
him another one" This hoax is be-
ing perpetrated on tenants, both in
dwellings and in business places.
An investigation shows that the
tax levy has been reduced. Nearly
every piece of property in Silver
Bow County will pay less taxes this
year than for some years past.
The landlords and agents seem to
be starting an offensive against
renters so as to be in the front row,
should prosperity really return.
And strange to relate many big
business blocks are delinquent, yet
the rents are collected and efforts
being made to increase them.
We will publish much more of
this next week.

Perkins Condemns
Wage Conditions
Al Fort Peek Dam

Haven Perkins addressed a mod
crate sized audience at the Miners
Union hall Monday evening. His
subject being Labor Conditions at
Fort Peck.
Mr.. Perkins was one of the lead
ers of the Federal Labor union at
Glasgow, in Valley County, in
which the Fort Peck project is stu
ated. Mr.. Perkins condemned the
activities of the government there
in permitting slavery conditions
among the workers and opposed the
policy of the government in forcing
the single men to stay in barracks
and sleep in double hunks. These
hunks, Mr.. Perkins said, were alive
with bed bugs and owing to the
fact that several shifts of men are
employed at different times of the
day and night on the work, it is diff
ficult for any of them to receive ade-
quate rest. Not only are the sleeping
quarters in very miserable condition
but the workers complain of the
food, so Mr.. Perkins said. The po-
lice at he project are under the en-
ploy of the United States govern
ment, and from allegations made by
the speaker, these men are used as
stool pigeons and spies to hinder
the organization and activity of the
Federal Labor union.
The workers are also being CHS
eled on wages, according to the
speaker. In one instance he related
where two iourneymen painters had
as many as a dozen or twenty help
ers. 1t seems that the regular
painters are forced to be classified
as helpers and then get paid Soc or
60c an hour less than that called for
in the stipulations.
Many of the dwelling houses of
Fort Peck, where families live, are
worse novels than any of the shacks
that r usually eel in poverty
stricken mining communities. The
American Federation of Labor was
condemned by MI. Perkins for it,
adverse attitude toward the Federal
Labor union.

than fair that I state my reasons for

I am making n criticism of any
labor leader or anyone else who

Friday, August %.

Friday, August 20.
Brothers:
We, the members of the Seattle
Newspaper Guild, a newspaper
mems and newspaper women's
union, have been forced into a
strike against the Seattle Post-In-
tellingcer, a William Randolph
Hearst publication, which en-
ployed us.
Newspapermen, underpaid and
overworked for years, have long
needed a union, and when we, the
employees of the Post-Intelligencer,
formed here a chapter of the
American Newspaper Guild-an af-
filiate of the American Federation
of. Labor-made up of reporters,
photographers, editors, librarians,
and copy boys-we hoped to better
u conditions. The paper was
paying reporters-married men, as
low as $22 and S25 a week.
The Post-Intelligencer's manage
ment refused to recognize our
union, Notwithstanding that a ma
jority of the staff had joined it.
Further, the management set out to
crush the union. 1t fired two men
veteran employees for having
joined the union, and indicated that
it intended to fire the rest of us,
one by one. Faced with annihila-
ton of the union that offered us
our hope for a decent standard of
living, and faced with the publish
er's determination to fire us for
joining it, we struck.
The strike paralyzed the Post
Intelligencer. 1t suspended pub
LEGATION. We feel we are winning.
But the publisher, Hearst, and his
local representatives, have to date
made nc move to settle with us.
Their tactics indicate an intention
to starve us out.
We need money, desperately, to
carry on and to feed members, few
of whom were ever paid enough to
enable them to save anything. If
you al help us with funds. you
will help us to win this just strike,
and will thereby strengthen the
whole labor movement.
We need help, badly. For any
thing that you can do, we will be
profoundly grateful. Our head
quarters as listed above, are at BIC

Hines, "as has been experienced
during the past several years, has
resulted in increased demands for
disqualification, domiciary care
and monetary benefits.
1T has greatly stimulated de
mands for the cash payment OF
Adjusted Service certificates"
; Hines described extensive eff
forts made by the veterans admin
istration to aid distressed service
men but added that "these efforts,
however, have not solved pern1a-
nently the future of the unem-
ployed non-disabled veteran now
reaching middle age"
