RELIEF
COMMISSION Is CON-
DEMNED BY UNION

We want to call to you minds the
fight II. L. Maury made for US to or
game our cooperative and save the
tannery for all time for US and our
families and how he and we were de-
ceived and double-crossed by Elmer
Holt, accidental governor Of Montana.
The committee Of the Leather Work
ers Union were first promised that if
we would incorporate a cooperative So
eiety we could have the stock of leather
for a capital stock and a lease on the
tannery at a dollar a year rental Holt's
Montana Relief commission thought it
would take us several months to do
this and that they would string us along
and get the leather out Of the state
before we could get Incorporated. We
engaged Maury. By working night and
day and running to Helena, Maury got
the final incorporation papers from the
Secretary of State with 81 stock sub
scribtions in four days.
Then, our trustees and Maury, be-
lieving in Holt's promises, went before
the Holt h~and-picked relief committee
to get the transfers SO we could start
to work. A young lawyer named Brick
EFT, s~on-in-laW to Sam V. Stewart, was
there pretending to represent the gov
eminent. Brickett thought he could
stall the whole thing by saying, But
we told you to organize your coopera-
tive" The bunch of slickers were stupe-
fled when Maury pulled certified cop
les Of the complete organization out Of
a leather case and handed it over. Then
the itching, squirming, and lying Of the
crowd began. Every excuse possible
was given by Hollis commission. A
member named Mann from Missou1a
was the checklist. He. said we would
have togo back to Butte and raise $10,-
QUO. among men on relief work.
Maury asked Mann to match his sub
scription and pulled cashiers checks for
$4,000 to start off and Mann shut up
for the afternoon. Brickett then said
we should 60 home and correspond
with some alphabetical department in
Washington 10 get the money, This
we did and got a polite letter saying
they had been out of business since
last November. For days at a time
Holt and his commission strung us
along. Maury made trip after trip to
Helena to interview these fellows who
all the time were intending to sneak
the leather out OF the state and close
the tannery-not because they thought
we would fail in the enterprise, but be-
cause they knew that with our expert
ence and the knowledge OF the BUSH
ness we had gotten and the need for a
tannery here, we would make a success
Of it and obtain for ourselves and fami-
lies a comfortable permanent living.
This would compete with private BUSH
ness. They started shipping leather out
Of the state the very day they were
promising to sign it over to US,

The convention of the State FEEDER
alton Of Labor, recently held at Bill
ings will take its place among the
outstanding labor events Of the past
ten years. James Graham, the presi-
dent, was at his best in directing the
movements Of the meeting. Many reso-
lutions Of Importance were adopted
by the convention. These documents
cover a wide range OF thought and
activity.
At all Of labor meetings the first
day is rather uneventful except for a
number of visitors and speakers but
after the credentials committee has
made its report and the delegates
seated the gathering gets down to
business. Some small controversy hav-
ing arisen in the credentials committee
at the convention, it took almost two
days before the delegates took up the
main work.
On Thursday, the third day Of the
convention, there was more political
speaking and Senator Murray address,
ed the convention. o. w. mick" Car
ter, the National Organizer of the
Steam and Operating Engineers, paid
the convention quite a compliment in
stating that it had helped him in or
ganizing quite a number of locals
throughout the state. Delegate Joe
Bosone of the Coal Miners was ap-
pointed chairman Of the Organization
committee. He had a number of impor-
tant resolutions.
President Green has taken cognizance
of the need of an organization Of sugar
beet workers and cereal workers in
Montana and urged the convention
to use every means to get these peo-
pie within the fold of the labor move
ment.
The first resolution that Joe Bo-
sone's committee presented was one
relating to the newspaper guilds. Il
was reported at the convention thai
Great Falls has started one OF these
organizations. The next one related
to an investigation of conditions a;
Fort Peck. A long letter was read
explaining about the terrible living
conditions there and how the bed bugs
swarmed over the inmates, and the
food was rotten. The persons chosen
to represent the labor unions on this
committee were James Graham, Pres
ident of the Federation and Bruce
Steinmetz of Great Falls. They are
to cooperate with two men represent
ing the Army and two men represent
ing the Department Of Labor. The
Great Falls delegation had brought
in a complaint about a mechanic being
discharged by the Highway Commits
sion. They complained that there was
an injustice done. This resolution was
referred to the Executive Board with
instructions to investigate and have this
man put back on the job and that il
he wasn't put back that the Executive
Board ask for the dismissal Of DR.
MacGregor, chairman of the Highway
Commission.

of Their Action in the Supreme Cos in Voting

Legislature, and Later Declared Unconstitu-

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF FIRE FIGHTERS
1.af Tic, NJ OK

Local Union No. 90
To the Officers and Members of the
Silver Bow Trades Council.
Greetings:
The last session OF the legislature
passed a bill establihing an 8-hour day
and a minimum wage for firemen in
cities Of the first and second class in
Montana.
In due course this bill was attacked
in the Supreme Court, the opposition
being backed by a group OF politicians
calling themselves Mayors and City At
torneys Of Cities and Towns.
While the suit was pending in the
Supreme Court a meeting was held in
Butte, Of this association and we were
told that it was visited by some mem
Der of the Supreme Court.
Thereafter, the law was declared un-
constitutional.
Owing to the fantastic reasoning in
the opinion Of the court, we feel that
the opinion was inspired by a desire
to get votes from this faction. We have
accepted this challenge.
We do lot feel called upon to urge
the justice of an 8-hour day to any
member of organized labor, especially
when the country is overrun by un-
employed and thousands are clamoring
for a chance to make a living, but we
do wish to call attention to our pecu-
liar position in the labor movement.
Our constitution in the l, A. F. F,
forbids US to use the ordinary weapon
OF labor, to strike, inasmuch as a strike
Of our department would jeopardize
the lives and property Of every person
in the community and would lay all
classes open to great danger, so the
only hope of security we have is in Sc
curing state laws to protect us, and il
the supreme court follows the reason
ing Of its present members it will be
idle for us to attempt to secure favor
able legislation, therefore we will at
tempt to change the present member
ship of the Supreme Court as they
come up for reelection.
JOHN A. MATHEWS, is a candi-
date for reelection to his present posi-
ton as associate justice OF the supreme
court, we charge that he is not sympa-
thetic with the aims Of organized la
Dor and we call upon all members OF
organized labor to vote against him.
SAM STEWART, also a member OF
the present court is a candidate for U.
S. Senator on the Democratic ticket
Sans record in this county needs nc
REPETITION from us, he is the same Sam
who sent the militia into Butte in 1917
and his record in the supreme court
shows that he has not changed. We
would like to see these men go out o.
Silver Bow County without the vot,
Of a single working man.
We respectfully urge that every dele.
gate take this matter up with his re-
spective local.
Fraternally yours,
ROBERT DELICH, Sec. l. A. F. F
