EAGLES LODGE IS TO
SPONSOR WRESTLING
DURING CONVENTION

As part OF the regular program OF
the Eagles convention, one of the best
wrestling cards in years has been ar
ranged for Thursday, June 18th.
Ira Dern, for over a quarter OF a
century the mat idol OF Salt Lake, will
meet a masked wrestler by the title OF
THE Dark Secret
The Dark Secret halls from the
coast and is n of the best grapplers
in the game, he is reputed to be a
former heavyweight fighter, who has
turned wrestler, and who has become
very adept at The game. Others claim
him to be the Greek wrestler who
went about the country a few years
ago busting all so-called cliques and
upsetting the dope everywhere he has
appeared.
Dern is also one OF the dope upset
tiers, as a few years ago in his home
town he surprised his audience and
the wrestler, by giving him an air
plane spin and ending the match in a
few minutes in what was billed as a
one hour fray. The opponent hap
pened to be Ed Stranger Lewis, the
worlds champion at that time. Since
then all the big shots have evaded
Dern whenever possible.
A strong supporting card has also
been arranged for between All Gang
ster Westcott, the Chicago boy who
created a riot during his first visit to
Butte, and who had to be escorted out
OF the ring by police officers and nine
wrestlers. It took all OF them to sub
due him.
His opponent will be the tr~eacherous
Billy ~Spendlove, a former middle
weight champion OF Montana.
Both these boys are known for their
rough tactics and should give the fans
plenty OF rough stuff which they seem
to enjoy.
Another newcomer from New York
by the name OF Tiger Miller will take
on the Omaha %lunatic, KLEIN Kusek, as
his first assignment in these parts.
Kusek is tackling the best oppo-
nents he has had SO far this year, as
Miller is rated the third highest
ranked m%iddleweight in the country
today.
For those who have been regular
patrons Of the wrestling matches they
know they will see bouts they have
long been waiting for.

Virginia Federation of Labor
Backs Industrial Unionism

CONVICTION, Va.-(FP) - After
two hours OF sharp debate, the Virginia
Federation of Labor, meeting at its
forty-first annual convention in Cow
ington, passed a resolution supporting
the committee for Industrial Organi-
cation and instructing its delegate to
the 1886 convention OF the American
Federation OF Labor to back the c. l..
o. position.
The resolution, passed by a voice
vote, was introduced by Pres. John
Saxton OF District % of the United
Mine Workers OF America. Members
OF the International Association OF
Machinists, the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners and the United
Garment Workers asked that their
votes be recorded in opposition.
Significant Of growing friendship be-
tween negro and white workers in the
South was the election of Stewart
Woody, negro miner, as a vice presi-
dent Further indication of the same
trend was the passage OF a resolution
to set Up a committee to aid the fight
to carry the Virginia poll tax to the
United States Supreme Court. The
main purpose OF the poll tax, it is felt,
is to disfranchise large numbers of
impoverished negroes.

get some redress from the d%eplorable
conditions that exist on the Fort Peck
project, which is a blot on the state OF
Montana, put there by the U. S. gov
eminent and some OF its agencies.
From my observations the Fort Peck
project is not a means Of relieving I'M
employment as intended, but an En-
durance Contest
Organized labor in the state Of Mon
tana should take immediate steps to
see that this job is made bearable for
the unfortunates, that through no fault
of their own, have to work on it. As
a relief measure the following is sug-
gested
1. Eight hours from camp to camp
shall constitute a days work.
2. Abolition OF bus fare to and from
work.
3. No o%vercrowding OF barracks.
4. Abolition OF the double deck
hunks.
5. Abolish the compulsory staying
in barracks.
9. Make sleeping quarters clean
airy and sanitary.
7. That the N. R. S. furnish com
plete details OF the job before sending
men to this particular job.
g.. Clean and wholesome food for
the men that have to live in camp.
g. The abolition OF the 35-cent per
week charged by some OF the contrac-
tors for disqualification.
10. Free capitalization.
II. Men working different shifts
not be quartered in the same barracks
or room.
In conclusion let me say that all
organized labor in Montana should
back up the Federal Labor Union, who
are trying to make better conditions on
the Fort Peck project.
Yours, truly,
c. c. JOHNSON.

mine who was working for another
outfit, and not knowing his exact 10
cation other than hat he lived in the
1900 block, | called at several build
ings and the one look into them was
enough. The rooms were all crowded
with double deck hunks, no place for
the men to sit down other than the
bunk, and incidentally, all OF the men
living in the 1900 block were working
for the government. On the night Of
June 4th the Federal Labor Union was
to hold a mass meeting to protest the
compulsory living in barracks. As I
was leaving that evening, | could not
attend this meeting, but | was in
formed that after a mar signed up to
live in the barracks it was just too
bad if he wanted to go some place
else TO live. In one case OF a young
mar getting married, his marriage Ger
t~ificate was not enough evidence to
warrant him being released from his
obligation to live in the barracks. In
interviewing the Federal Labor Union
I was informed that Major Larkin, is
unapproachable when it comes to the
point OF a labor man or a group OF
labor men seeking redress.
From what information | could gath
er, Major Larkin takes the attitude
that all laborers and mechanics are
meniols and should be contented with
their lot and if worse comes to worse
that he, Major Larkin, can rule with
the iron heel" These notions can be
taken out OF his head as there are men
over him that he takes orders from,
and his superiors can be reached and
as this is election year the time is ripe
to reach his superiors.

FOX REPORTS
THREE CASES
OF MENINGITIS

Three cases of epidemic spinal
meningitis occurred in Imperial Val
lev during recent weeks, according to
DR.. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer.
One case developed in FL Centro'
he said. The child later was taken
to the general hospital in Los An
geles county. The four-year-old girl
was admitted February IL.
The cases developed in the north
end of the valley, one in a pea har-
vesters' camp and one at a ranch
home. One was five-year old girl
and the other a 26-year-old woman.
Both the northend sufferers were
taken to the county hospital for iso-
lation, DR.. Fox said. The woman was
admitted to the hospital January
%. and the child February l.
There are several types OF the
disease, Fox said, and the one en-
countered in the valley is known as
epidemic spinal meningitis.
Contacts with the patients were
placed under quarantine, DR.. Fox
said
