trict's new Congressman has intro
duced a bill which would create the
desired Hungry Horse Power Au-
thority and construct the dam, and
he expects to get committee approx
al and house passage on this mea-
sure during this session of Congress.
This is legislation that should have
been passed long ago and although
there has been much talk in the past
on this project, no effort has ever
been made before to introduce a bill
in the matter. Congressman O'Con-
nell promised the voters of this dis
trict that he would work for this pro-
ject, and Immediately upon arriving
in Washington, started work on his
bill, and the prospects now look very
good.
Persons in localities interested in
seeing this work done should write
to both of the Senators from Mon
tana, urging that they secure pass
age of O'Connell's bill in the Senate,
and that they work with him so that
nothing can crop up to ruin the won
derful work thus far done.

ORGANIZED LABOR OF MONTANA WELCOMES
ANOTHER NEW UNION INTO THEIR RANKS
ANACONDA FORMS
ORGANIZATION
SUPERINTENDENT GIVES
AID

The American Federation of Tea
cheers, feeling that Montana present
ed a very fertile field for organiza-
ton among the teachers, sent an or
ganizer, Mr.. Hugh DeLacy, to the
Treasure State. Mr.. De Lacy ar
rived in Missoula, the site of the
University of Montana, on Friday,
April 9, 1887. Due to the excellent
groundwork laid by Mr.. Philip o.
Keeney, librarian at the University,
MIR. DeLacy was able that night to
organize and send for the charter
for the first college group to affili-
ate with the A. F. T. in Montana.
The following Wednesday Mr.. De-
Lacy went to Anaconda. He arriv-
ed in the morning and Immediately
contacted Mr.. James Durkin, presi-
dent of the Anaconda Trades and La
Dor Council. Mr.. Durkin assured
Mr.. DeLacy that the Anaconda la
Dor movement would cooperate
Fundamentally. Mr.. DeLacy and
Mr.. Durkin then interviewed the
members of the school board and
found that they were all very fav-
orable. The Superintendent of
Schools, Mr.. Dwyer, agreed to call
a meeting of the teachers that aft
ernoon and even dismissed school
early SO the teachers would not feel
that they wer being imposed upon.
Such cooperation is very rare and
the Anaconda teachers are perhaps
the only group of teachers in the
country to organize under such COM
pletely favorable conditions.
After Nh. DeLacy explained the
aims and purposes of the A. f. T,
some of the Butte teachers related
the story CT the Butte local and
pointed out the advantage of affili-
ating with Labor. Then a vote was
taken to see how many favored
joining with the A. F. T. The vote
revealed that the Anaconda teach
ers realized that affiliation with La
Dor was the step for them to take
because SO voted yes and only 2 no.
The charter members then signed
up and the meeting voted to elect
a temporary chairman. Miss Ruby
Mcdonnell of the High School staff
was elected. The Anaconda group
is now busy forming its constitution
and bylaws, so it won't be long
before the Labor movement of Mon
tana will officially welcome this
splendid and ~far-seeing group of
teachers into the fold.
The University group is anxiously
awaiting its charter so it can begin
active operation.
It is the sincere hope of the Labor
movement of Montana that these
two groups of teachers will bring to
it new spirit and new relationships
that will be mutually beneficial.

ACTION OF BOARD
OF Ed UCATI0N
SILVER BOW TRADES N
LABOR COUNCIL
P. O. Box 1877
D,,4Fa NHon4.ao


AT the regular meeting of the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council
on April 10, 1887, it was unanimous
ly adopted by the delegates of forty
three unions represented that we
condemn the action of the State
Board of Education in their dismiss
sal of Philip O'Keeney and condemn
the action taken against Prof. E. P,
Rowe.
On April IL, 1887, the majority
of the State Board Of Education
Excluding Attorney General Free
bourn and State Superintendent
Reardon voting mo, and Father
Riley, ABSENT having gone into sec
ret session and having heard Presi-
dent Simmons recite verbal charges
and accusations not made in the pre-
sence of the accused or his council
and having questioned Professor
Keeney without admitting his friends
witnesses or advocates, or even his
stenographer, did then open its ses-
sion and vote to concur in Professor
Keney's dismissal, denying him an
open and fair hearing and refusing
to hear his friends and supporters
testify in his defense so that the
members of the board did not have
an opportunity to hear all sides Of
the question.
We know that the action of the
board is direct discrimination against
organized labor and a move to init
midate University faculty members
against affiliation with labor.
Likewise, this action is in violation
of the University regulations in e
gard to tenure Of office of instruc-
tional and scientific staffs which
plainly states that:
ID Such professor is on perman-
ent appointment after three success
i've years of service.
~ Upon request, the professor
concerned in case of his dismissal,
is entitled to a fair hearing and an
opportunity to appear before the
Committee on Service in his own
defense.
This right was denied Professor
Keeney. Therefore, the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council demands
immediate reinstatement without
loss of salary of Professor Keeney
and reconsideration of Professor E.
P. Rowe's permanent tenure.

Academic Freedom Is
In Serious Dancer

The acceptance by the Montana
State Board of Education of the re-
concentrations Of President Sim
mons of the University in respect to
hiring and rehiring of the professors
at the University is another instance
Of the Suppression of academic free
dom in the universities of the United
States. In these recommendations
of President Simmons the name of
Phillip o. Keeney, librarian of the
university was deliberately and in
tentionally omitted. The president
of the Montana Federation Of Labor
and other representatives of the
trade unions including Mr.. Hugh De-
Lacy, northwest organizer for the
Teachers, protested the absence of
the name of Mr.. Keeney from the
list of teachers, but to no avail.
This leads one to reflect upon
other recent instances in the United
States particularly in the East. Har-
ward University has dismissed Jero-
me Davis, president of the American
Federation of Teachers and who had
been engaged on the faculty of Har-
ward University for a great number
of years. Mr.. Davis is recognized
as one of the leading educators of
the United States. The secretary of
the local union of Harvard was also
dismissed. These actions took place
recently. The instructor in the O
omics department who was largely
responsible for the formation of a
teachers union on the campus suf-
fered the same penalty.

The committee that had under in

Of old age pensions reported that
they had received many conflicting
reports but that the pensions had ar
rived during the week and prompt
delivery was assured.
The Mayor Of Great Falls was re-
quested to maintain all present I'M

city and that the unions were not in
favor Of the practice of party pat
ronage.
The workers in the laundries of
Great Falls have received a 5 per

agreement, The Bartenders report
ed that their wages were raised from
$500 to $500 a day under their new
agreement.
A member of the Carpenters I'M
ion is now in charge of the resettle-
ment administration in Great Falls.
The unions expect considerable CO.
operation from the new officer.
STEINMETZ IN UNION RACE
Official confirmation of the nom
ination of Bruce Steinmetz, presi-
dent of the Assembly for the office
Of president of the Montana Fedora
ton Of Labor was received. Presi-
dent Steinmetz said that it was his
intention to aspire for the position
as head Of the labor organizations
of the state and was looking for the
cooperation Of his many friends and
unions throughout the state. Mr..
Steinmetz also reported that he had
just returned from a visit to Calgary,
Canada, where he had inspected the
auditorium and hockey rink with the
idea in mind of sponsoring some
such competitive sport in Great
Falls, although he reminded the de-
legates that considerable opposition
had already developed against such
an enterprise.
The men and women On w. P. A.
projects should justify the scale of
wages which they are now getting
and which is the highest in the Unit
ed States by delivering a fair days
work on the projects in the opinion
of Mr.. Steinmetz delivered before
the Assembly.
Mr.. Hugh DeLacy, northwest or
ganizor for the Teachers, was a visi-
tor in Great Falls and laid the
ground work for a teachers local.
In addressing the delegates, Mr..
DeLacey told the story Of the or
g~anization of the Anaconda union
and how SO teachers out of SIS had
voted to join the union.

Sii-Down Strike Is
Defended by Bernard

shington.-Controver rag
ed in Congress this week on the de-
veloping wave of sit-down strikes.
Representative Dies of Texas who,
during the height of the depression
several years ago, introduced fallen
and sedition" legislation, this week
sharply attacked the "Sit-downs,"
declaring they were Threatening
the very foundation of orderly gov
eminent" His resolution proposed
a Congressional investigation.
Congressman Bernard of MINES
ota replied to attacks on the "sit-
downers' in a speech which pro-
laimed the right of workers to en-
gage in sit-down strikes on the basis
of partnership in industry"
''The physical property of an in
dustry," said MI. Bernard, "repres-
ents an investment on the part of
stockholders in dollars. But the
workers have also made an invest
ment not so easily measured in dol
lars but without which there could
be no industry. Their entire beings
have been devoted to the industry
so that it might yield a profit to the
owner and a living to themselves.
This is their investment and they
are entitled to protect it. In pro-
