LABOR Will HOLD
STATE CONVENTION
Continued from Page y

CONTINUED from rage ~
to hold such a conference, by a reso-
luton that was passed at the con
vention in Billings last June and it
was out of the authority stipulated
IN that resolution that the special
convention is now being held. A
very pertinent reflection was made
by Secretary Erler as to the need
of holding such a convention in the
following words:
st is obvious that unless the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor ar
ranges for a conference or conven-
ton, that other groups no doubt will
do so. The Federation then would
be confronted with the same opposi-
ton and obstacles that have in many
instances in the past INSTRUCTED
many legislative programs"
In the discussion at the Saturday
meeting relative to representation, it
was the consensus of opinion of the
Executive Board that in addition to
the regular quota of delegates al
lowed affiliated unions that much
liberality should be extended in in
viting other labor organizations and
individuals to the meetings. Toward
this end it was adopted that the fol-
lowing organizations be represented:
Butte Miners union, Anaconda
Smeltermen, State Mining Council,
Metal Trades Council, Carpenters
State Council, Electrical Workers
Council, all Central Labor Councils
and Building Trades Councils.
All the invited delegates apart
from the bona fide members of the
Federation will be allowed full voice
and vote on all resolutions pertain
ing to proposed legislative program,
but the meeting itself will be under
the auspices of the Federation of La
Dor. Resolutions affecting any and
all groups of workers may be pre-
scented at the special convention for
action through regular delegates. DR..
j. J.. O'Connor of Carroll College has
been extended an invitation to at
tend and address the convention. DR..
O'Connor is familiar with the social
security act and is very sympathetic
to the cause of organized labor.
A word of caution was injected
into the meeting at Butte over the
proposition to demand a union label
on all state printing. 1t may be that
if such a bill were forced through
the Legislature that its constitution
atty would be challenged. 1t was
also mentioned that the creation of
a department of labor might neces-
state a constitutional amendment.
Many of the wildcat mine operators
were condemned for their methods
of avoiding the payment of wages to
workers. Some Of these cases have
particular reference to the miners
in that if the property does not pan
out as expected they are left holding
the sack. It was decided to prepare
a measure to prevent such cheating.
All organizations will receive a
call from the State Federation of
Labor within the next few days no
tifying them of time and place of
the meeting.

GREAT FALLS UNIONS
TO Be REpRE5
AT FEDERATION MEET

GREAT FALLS. The Cascade
Trades and Labor Council held a
somewhat quieter session than has
prevailed for the last several weeks.
Prior to election the central body
was extremely busy. These quiet
periods come in their regular order.
Senator Murray advised the I'M
ions that he had secured a W. P. A.
grant for the North Montana Fair
Board.
The Miles City unions informed
Great Falls that they were in favor
of calling a special session of the
Legislature, to enact an unemploy-
ment insurance measure.
Another union added its support
to Bruce Steinmetz as a member of
the North Montana Fair Board.
Secretary Whitmore was instruct
ed to write the Helena Trades and
Labor Assembly informing them that
the Great Falls central body intend
ed to be represented at the forth
coming special convention Of the
State Federation of Labor in lieu of
the one that the Helena Trades and
Labor Council have announced for
December IL and Is. In this connec-
ton, Yellowstone Trades and Labor
unions sent a communication to
Great Falls condemning the action
of the Helena unions in calling a
state conference. Whitmore was in
structed to notify Billings that Cas-
cade was cooperating with the Fed
Grafton of Labor.
A committee was appointed by the
Assembly to work with the Painters
union in the matter involving the
Montana Power Company.
The Transfers union sent in a re-
quest asking that P. ]. Connors OF
Butte be made a member of the
Montana Highway Commission. The
request of the transfers was grant
ed by the Assembly and support
pledged. Another communication
was received from the Teamsters
union asking the Assembly to pro-
test the order of the Railroad Com
mission in ordering the discontinue
ance of the Greyhound Northern
Freight buses and endorsing the
order c~urtailing the services of the
Northland Greyhound lines, due to
the fact that Greyhound does not
operate with union drivers. Both
requests were granted.
William Roadhouse was endorsed
as supervisor of county roads upon
the request of the Transfers union,
The Assembly also concurred in
a wage scale submitted by the
Transfers relating to the Great Falls
Coach Lines, namely Browning trip
$500 per day, and to Glacier Park
$500 per day.
1t was reported by the secretary
of the Assembly that according Ia
the report of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, that department. Of
labor have been established in many
states by legislative action. The
Great Falls unions have had under
consideration the matter of trying
to establish such a department ir
Montana.
The w. p. A. is unable to estab-
fish a five day week, according tc
the report of the committee to exam
inc this situation. The committee
was instructed to continue its work

What Is Happening in
The Unions

Ten dollars was donated by the
central labor council to the Anti
tuberculosis Society.
Jimmie Leary of the Miners spoke
highly of the work that was being
done by this organization. He stated
that the Society had sent out $50
letters to the business men and that
all the labor unions had been APP
pealed to also for funds. In a re-
port of the organization, 1t was
learned that the percentage OF re-
turns from the labor organizations
far exceeded that Of the business
men. Apparently the business men
don't care very much whether the
Anti tuberculosis Society succeeds
or not. Perhaps they feel that none
of their children are suffering from
malnutrition and that the poor peo-
pie should take care of their own.
A letter was received from the
Anaconda Central Labor Council
concurring in a wage scale that had
been adopted by the general labor
ers and teamsters.
A vigorous protest was adopted by
the central labor council W the
proposed action of the federal adj
ministration to lay off 1900 work
ers on the w. P. A. The protest was
sent to both congressman and sena-
tors and to Harry Hopkins, head OF
the w. P. A. in the United States.
A long discussion arose owe the
action of the Helena Trades and La
Dor Council in proposing a state wide
conference of all the unions to talk
over legislative matters. The dele
gates from the Miners brought this
matter on the floor. 1t was men
toned that one essential thing in
the next Legislature was to block, if
possible, the passage of the sales tax
and to have a united front on all
other phases of proposed legislation.
The musicians remarked that they
had spent from $500 to $4,000 to
secure legislation beneficial to their
union and that they were much in
terested in the coming session of the
Legislature.
Ed O'Byrne, Labor Commissioner,
addressed the Trades and Labor
Council and gave a resume of his
work throughout the state. His eff
forts have resulted in many female
office employees being relieved from
the necessity of coming back to work
in the evenings and from working
overtime. Much of Mr.. O'Byrne's
work has been directed toward pro-
tecting women in industry and Of
fees and Of compelling employers
to comply with the female 8-hour
law.

Library 10 Reopen
Next Saturday

The Lincoln county library will open
in its new quarters, the south wing of
the new courthouse, Saturday,
March 81, at IL o'clock noon. All books
that are due during the period Of clos
ing will be due on Saturday.
There are several changes being
made in the routine Of the library,
which, the staff thinks, will add to the
efficiency and service of the office.
When returning books patrons are
asked to please wait at the desk until
their books are checked off, thereby
insuring them against being charged
for books they have brought back and
someone else has taken out without
charging. It is most important to OBJ
serve this new practice.
After much deliberation it has been
decided to change the reserve system
So often the books reserved by some
one are out of circulation several days
waiting to be called for, and inasmuch
as they are usually the latest books il
keeps other people from enjoying them
during that time. Hereafter reserves
on books, except for those required
for reference work or study, will have
a five cent charge.
For added service the library open
hours have been changed. The library
will open at IL o'clock noon each day
except Sundays and holidays. On the
three days that the library has beer
open from to the hours will be from
IL to 8. These days are Monday
Wednesday and Saturday. The other
days, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
the hours will be IL to 6.
The staff has been busy arranging the
new library and feel confident the
patrons will enjoy the new location
very much.
