If taxes weren't mounting to a
point where industry can't see the
way out, things would be pretty
good. In 1885 both Industrial pro-

Looking Ahead to the A. f. of l..
Convention

Nobody needs to be told again about Labors
hatred of war. Resolutions at state conven-
tions, speeches of labor leaders, and conversa-
ton at union meetings all reflect Labors deep
desire to preserve the peace, which is, indeed,
but part of the tradition of all the American
people
Organized Labor is admirably situated to do
more than merely voice its opposition to war.
Peace is rapidly becoming a matter of votes, of
political pressure on this or that Congressman
to enact bills that mean peace-to defeat bills
that mean war. Here Labor can WELD its great
power with telling effect
To the coming convention of the American
Federation of Labor, therefore, we look for
guidance on this matter of action for peace.
The stand of organized workers will be deter
mined there on many issues and world prob
lens must not be left out in the welter of do
mestic issues sure to arise.
All workers look to the American Federation
Of Labor to speak its mind on a definite pro-
gram for peace It is to be hoped that it will
ask for stronger neutrality legislation for
national defense policy based only on defense
Of our soil from invasion, not OF our interests
abroad; for such easing Of international ten
sions as may promote peace; for naturalization
Of munitions and war-profit taxation; and for
the watchful maintenance of the rights of free
speech press and assembly.
Organized farmers religious groups, organ
lied women, and young people are working for
such program, and Labor can do no better
than add its support to it. The rest of the
world needs in these troubled times to know
that the voice of American Labor rings clear
and true against participation in foreign wars.

Churches Must Resist War-Inciters,
Bishop Says

Chicago-A ringing challenge to the churches
of the country to refuse to be the tool of war
mongers and military propagandists was voiced
here last week October 15) by Rt Rev. James
E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, in an adj
dress before the Pan-American Conference of
Anglican Bishops.
''The maintenance of world order and peace
is the most vital concern of the church" the
Bishop told his audience. 'War is the deadly
enemy of the church; never more so than to-
day."
Proclaiming the present world situation as "a
condition bordering on chaos" caused by "an
excess of nationalism coupled with the demand
for more economic advantage" Bishop Freeman
expressed the hope that in the face of this ener-
gancy, 1--WE may firmly resolve that never again
shall the church lend itself to a propaganda
that whipped the passions of men into frenzy
of zeal for cause that has yet to be justified"
In conclusion he brought forward five pro-
posals for which he urged that the church stand
resolutely: The Kellogg BRAND peace pact; the
suppression of exaggerated nationalism; de-
fense of the under-privileged; encouragement
of fright and equitable" relations between the
nations of the world; and the prevention Of
"over-accented class consciousness"

In explanation of the following editorial, the
Montana Labor News received it from the Mill
and Smeltermen's union of Great Falls. This
organization has sent a protest to Washington,
D. c., on the decision 1t was rendered by the
authorities in the Occur d'Alenes. The union
at Great Falls received the editorial from the
local union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
ers at Mullan, Idaho. This was horrible trag-
edy and apparently the unions are indignant
owing to apparent attempts to white wash the
mining company

10 Men Are Dead
Ten men are dead.


They were crushed like rats in trap at the
bottom of the black shaft of the Morning mine
when the cable of the cage broke at 1910 a. m.
Tuesday. Human bodies mangled and
crushed beyond recognition.
Six hours it took to cut them out of the steel
trap with acetylene torches and bring what
remained of them to the surface
It took II more horrible hours to identify
them, II hours of confusion and agony before
it was officially known that 10 and not nine
men had perished.
20 Minutes Deliberation
Twenty minutes were required for a coroner's
jury of Shoshone county, Idaho, to deliberate
on less than two hours of testimony and bring
in verdict:
'We, the undersigned jurymen, called to
investigate and decide as to the type of
accident which occurred on this date Zoe
t0ber 6, 1886, do decide that it was an
avoidable accident"
There are murmurs of dissatisfaction with
that verdict on the streets of Wallace, and of
Mullan and of Spokane.
This newspaper has heard those murmurs-
from a former hoisting engineer in Spokane,
from whispered comments to Press reporters
of miners on the streets of Mullan and Wallace
the morning after the accident, from letter to
The Press from Mullan miner.
Mass Meeting Called
Today The Press received a notice of mass
meeting to be held at Mullan Sunday after
noon under the auspices of local No 9, Inter-
national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers The notice did not give the reason for
the meeting, but it is reported the chief matter
to come before the group will be the accident
and the official investigation, which miners are
charging was just "whitewash"
On the coroner's jury were former Sho-
shone county probate judge, candidate for
probate judge, a county highway employe,
groceryman, clerk and retired miner. There
were no active miners on the jury.
Eleven witnesses were called at the inquest,
conducted by Arthur Campbell, state mine in
spector; DR.. H. c. Mowery, Shoshone county
coroner, and John L. Fitzgerald, prosecuting
attorney
They included the pumpman of the Morning
mine, the general superintendent of the Fed
eral Mining and Smelling company, which oper-
ates the mine; the head rope man; mine fore
man; the hoistman on duty when the cage fell;
the eager on duty; the shift boss on 1850 level;
the shift boss on 3400 level; the engineer in
charge of mine safety; the general manager Of
the Federal company and one miner on the
1850 level.
Cause Of Break Unknown
There must have been weakness in the
cable, but what caused it do not know" testi-
fled the general superintendent of the mining
company "There is no evidence of weakness at
the point of the break. :"
The head rope man testified that he inspected
the cable week ago Tuesday. The pumpman
said that he checked the cable Monday. The
hoistman testified there had been no trouble
with the cable during the night.
H. C. Washburn, general manager of the Fed
eral Mining and Smelling company, which oper-
ates the Morning mine, declared at the inquest
that the cable had been cut 10 feet from each
end of the point where it broke, and that an

inspection of the cable would be made by 'cable
experts" to determine, if possible, what caused

BILLINGS Transfers
REBUkE INDEPENDENT
MOTOR CARRIERS co.

international Brotherhood of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America.
While in Butte on business last
week the business agent of the Truck
drivers Union No. 100 of Billings had
the good fortune to find copy of
very obscure scandal sheet called
the Hi-Way News dated September,
23rd, 1886. After a close study of
the puerile sheet he gathered that
the officers of the Billings Team
sters union were supposed to be con-
fused. But close scrutiny could not
reveal even a minor cause for con-
fusion. They are not confused about
the chiseling of the Independent Mo
tor Carriers, they are not confused
about the recent hearing held be-
fore the board of Railroad Commits
sioners at which reluctant admission
of facts from the part of the hide
pendent Motor Carriers mentioned
in the citation proves the ignorance
and confusion of its illustrious editor.
To eradicate all confusion on the
part of Truck Operators in the State
of Montana, notably the Indepen-
dent Motor Carriers, known as Cook
and Fulmer, and to all merchants
who were reported confused; the
Independent Motor Carriers known
as Cook and Fulmer are and have
been unfair to organized labor since
February 10th, 1886. Now this is not
the mere opinion of the writer. This
unfair action shown on the records
of all Central Labor Unions throu-
ghout the State of Montana and
any reader wishing for proof can
get the same by writing to the Mon
tana Labor News.
The Independent Motor Carriers
are confused as to the reason why
they should be given much more
then the proverbial "Chinaman's
Chance" Exhaustive efforts on the
part of the Billings Union Officials
to line up the Independent Motor
Carriers failed to make a dent in their
epidermis. Another broad remark in
this ambiguous sheet known as the
Hi-Way News states officers of Bill
lings Union are in the employ of
Consolidated Freight Lines which
is very erroneous as well as
confusing. The business agent of
Billings is not in the employ
of the consolidated freight lines and
never has been, but will add in JUS
tice to the Consolidated Freight
Lines and to eradicate all confusion
in the minds of those confused; the
Consolidated came through the hear
ing one hundred per cent, while the
Independent Motor Carriers came
through in the class known to the
public as 'chiselers" and there is
plenty of evidence on record of the
hearing which substantiates the
above statement. 1t is the inten-
ton of Local No. 1870 of Billings to
enforce the unfair action taken
against the Independent Motor Car
riers and stop their operations until
they line up with organized labor
one hundred per cent, as the Conso-
lidated Freight Lines are. There is
a very definite distinction between
the two freight lines at the present
writing, Consolidated Freight Lines
are with Organized Labor one hun
dred per cent throughout the state.
The Independent Motor Carriers are
not out of the "CHISELING CLASS"
as yet. And the Business Agent of
Local No. 1870 of Billings is not con-
fused when he makes these state
ments.

MUSICIANS UNION AND TURF
BAR REACH SETTLEMENT

An announcement was made by
the Musicians union that very sat-
isfactory settlement had been made
with the Turf Bar at the corner of
Main and Mercury streets. This was
received with general appreciation
by the Trades and Labor Council
The delegates were urged to noti-
fly all of the unions and to inform
their members to patronize this place
and to urge their friends to do like
wise.
Montana labor news., 1936-11-05

inspection of the cable would be made by "cable
experts" to determine, if possible what caused
the break
Thorough Inquiry Demanded
Just what this examination of the cable will
amount to no one knows. But certainly it should
be thorough and panstaking examination.
Certainly the perfunctory finding of the cor
oner's jury should not write "finis" to this
greatest mine disaster which has ever taken
place in the Coeur d'Alenes
The rumors which are floating around the
streets of Mullan, Wallace and Spokane should
be brought out into the open and definitely
proved to be true or false Was the cable
spliced? Was it made up of parts of old cable
woven in with new? Were inspections of the
cable cursory? Could the accident have been
prevented, as one miner writing to The Press
charged?
These questions should be settled once and
for all-for the sake of the Federal Mining and
Smelling company, as well as for the sake of
the men who work in the mines of the Coeur
d'Alenes
''Finis" for Those Who Died
Ten men are dead. They, of course cannot be
brought back to life. For them 'finis" is written
to the tragedy that snuffed out their lives. No
amount of investigation can help THEM.
But in the Coeur d'Alenes there are thou
sands of other miners. They deserve the utmost
of protection in their hazardous work. For them
there should be no unavoidable accident
which care and forethought could prevent.
These men demand thorough investigation.
They have the right!
