Shake hands with Mister Lemuel Blake,
The PHOO who never had break,
There isn't any job for mel!
He groans to all humanity;
But lest in pity you may sob,
Well tell you-Lemuel wants no job!
For he'll admit he never tried
To find one in the Classified

This specimen is Henry Plush,
Whose shoe-soles look like corn meal mush
He's looking for place to live,
And it's question which will give
In first, his patience or his feet,
There are swell homes on every street,
The Want Ads list them, bright and new,
But Hank don't know that he's a PHOO!
The Redwood gazette., 1937-12-02

See Mrs. Bilge who never tries
To shop the ads; she'd take prize
For dumbness- now don't you think so?
For how she spends her hubby's dough
On dresses that are awful nice
Which she could buy at half the price,
And save herself much trouble, too,
Why is she such dreadful PHOO?

A friend of a friend told Sophie Klutz
She knew maid who was nuts,
81 really think she can be hired"
(She didn't say that she'd been fred;
Now Sophies got her and she wishes
She'd bought slightly cheaper dishes,
Next time she will know better, true,
And run a Want Ad Poor, poor PHOO!

Now here is Mrs Clyfforde Rangers,
The Ads and she are total strangers,
The price she pays for food and drink

They're right beneath her pretty nose!
But PHOOS are awfully funny folk;
Perhaps that's why they're often broke.

Good furniture sells David Dunk,
But it might just as we'll be junk
For all the customers that come;
You see, Dave Dunk is kinda dumb,
His bargains never can be found
Where reader r-buyers gather round,
Oh, yes! 1t pays to advertise,
But then a PHOO is never wise.

This is picture of Katie Van Bleeding,
Who's not read the paper since King Ed

The king that we mean was Victoria's son
So it really no wonder Kate never has fun
-. nor that she never knew about war
affairs Spanish
:. nor wore ostrich plumes when the
fashion was mannish
-. nor that folks everywhere who are
back on the news
Can be most assuredly nothing but Phoos.

SCHOOL VICTORY ASSURED FOR UNIONS
New Attractions Will
Feature Miners Dance

The Miners Union dance commit
tee has arranged new added attrac-
lions for their regular Sunday night
dance at which will ! featured Billy
Blewett and his banjo. Blewett is
a versatile musician soloing in the
banjo, saxophone and clarinet. He
is also a valuable member of Fred
Harvey's dance band. Additional
entertainment will be provided, so
it was stated by the committee, by
local singers of talent.
The Miners dances have become
extremely popular through the CO.
operation of Fred Harvey and the
committee in providing clean and
high class entertainment. Commenc-
ing next Sunday night and every
Sunday night thereafter, it is
planned to have some new and spe-
cial attraction at every dance.
The method of charging for these
entertainments is ingenious and has
met with a generous response. The
tickets are rs cents for each person.

URGES PEOPLE TO
VOTE INDEPENDENT

Jack Donovan, chairman of the
Independent School Party, made an
appeal to all the citizens of School
District No. l to get out and vote
at the school election Saturday, April
Bird. He urged the members of or
ganized labor to vote themselves and
to get their friends and the mem
bers of their families to vote.
He reminded the unions that the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, which is sponsoring Lehwalder,
Leary and Murray, should now do
its duty in electing them to the Of
flee of School Trustees. The speak
er went on to say that at no time
could organized labor be defeated at
an election should they set their
minds and their action to the con-
quest of victory. Organized labor
should be represented on the Board
of School Trustees. No one ques-
tons this salutary representation. II
is not enough that members of or
ganized labor be on the board mere
ly because they are members of a
labor organization. It would be far
better that organized labor was rep
resented on the board by men or

DAVIES IMPRESSED BY
u. S. S. r. PROGRESS
By Federated Press

MOSCOW. IL (By cable to FP)-
Joseph S. Davies, U. S. ambassador
to Moscow, likes the Soviet Union.
He made a 5-day trip to southern
industrial centers and came back full
of enthusiasm for the progress the
Soviet Union is making. What he
said about his trip made the front
page in the Soviet press.
GAS an ambassador, it is partly my
duty to present to my government a
clear picture of conditions Of the
country to which l am accredited, 3"
he said to the newspapermen, land
I thought the best way to do this is
to observe personally the different
phases of life and meet different
kinds of people-that means to trav-
ell.
Having been to Leningrad and
also in Moscow, I decided to visit
your great industrial south where
close together you have your great
deposits Of both coal and iron ore.
I am much impressed with your
great industrial construction.
'In Kharkov l visited the tractor
plant, electric turbine and motor
plants. At Z~aporozhye I visited the
Dnieprogres dam, the aluminium
plant and the steel works.
Besides visiting industrial enter
prises l inspected kindergartens,
nurseries, and observed the extra
ordinary housing construction for
workers around the plants and fac
tories. The equipment of the fac
tories and their machinery impressed
me tremendously.
'"The managers of the plants and
the engineers were first-rate men
very strong, young, able and most
capable"
Davies ended the interview by
stating that in his opinion inasmuch
as the U. S. started its industrial life
years earlier, the U. S. S. r. could
learn many things from America.
But he added, con the whole, you
are doing an excellent job in this
great industrial work particularly in
view of the short time in which il
has been planned, built and placed in
operation"

LEARY, LEHWALDER AND MURRAY
ARE NEEDED ON SCHOOL BOARD

women who never belonged to a
union organization, provided these
men or women were chosen by the
Independent Party, than to have 9TH
er members of organized labor seat
ed on the board chosen by the other
ticket and who couldn't possibly
escape from the control and DONNA
ton of the party who nominated and
elected them.
There is a clear cut line here
whether labor will have its own rep
resentatives chosen by its own ticket
on the board or whether it will have
no representation at all. The mem
bers of the Peoples ticket cannot
serve two masters. Neither can the
Independents serve two masters.
This does not mean that members of
the board who have been elected by
different tickets cannot agree on
certain minor policies, activities and
problems which come before the
board, but in any crucial undertake
ing, vitality affecting the working
people, there must result a distinct
cleavage.
The corporations will tell their
members to vote one way, organ
lied labor will tell its members to
vote a different way, here is where
the test of loyalty arises. The In
dependents must elect their three
men or else the corporations will
have absolutely monopolistic control
of school affairs in Silver Bow Coun-
ty.

Union Member Suffers
From Gas Explosion

Mr.. James Sullivan, a member of
the Bakers Union and a member also
of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, is lying seriously injured in
the hospital due to the gas explosion
which took place March 20 on the
corner of Dakota and Porphyry
Streets. His absence was noted at
the last session of the Central Labor
Council.
A feeling Of bitterness and con-
demnation appeared to prevail
among most of the assembly against
the Montana Power Company. The
Trades and Labor Council is made
up Of skilled and unskilled workers,
There is not a phase of industry in
which these men and women are
not competent to deal and the judg-
ment Of these men as indicated in
their conversations in union head
quarters is that the Montana Power
Company was derelict in its duty
through inadequately placing safe
guards around the installation of the
gas lines. 1t was remarked in one
of the committee gatherings that in
one of the eastern states, the gas
pipe lines have been covered with
an additional Jacket and vents are
provided for the escape of gas.
The general opinion seems to be
that the Montana Power Company
was in too much haste in making its
installation and not properly venting
the mains and laterals of the gas
lines. The seriousness of the gas
situation was acutely brought home
to the Central Labor organization al
its last meeting.

something never before available in
Butte. On the north side of the
field will be permanent stands, with
Touchdown stands on the south, east

capacity will be 5000. Features of
the field will be the knock-down
stage for band concerts, and pag-
eants, and a running track around

MILES CITY UNIONS
REQUIRE CORRECTION

It was reported in the Montana
Labor News of March 18th, under
What's Happening in the Unions,
that Miles City was opposing the
Presidents plan. This was correct
ed last week.
The Miles City unions have taken
a very definite stand to support the
President, in fact the Montana Labor
News was reprimanded in a letter
received from union headquarters
there for having made the mistake
in the first place. They also wish
that the following letter sent to Sen
ator Wheeler be published this week.
MILES CITY TRADES AND
LABOR COUNCIL
Hon. B. K. Wheeler,
U. S. Senate,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:
The position you have taken on
the Supreme Court reorganization
plan recommended by the President
prompts US to reply to your objec-
tions briefly as follows:
The fact that the President has a
majority of the Senators and Repre-
sentatives with him does not signify
that he controls Congress. It is be-
cause Of his intellectual leadership
that the legislators are willing to go
along with him.
In the last analysis, it is the Senate
that selects the Supreme Court JUS
tees, because the Senate may refuse
to confirm the Presidents appointees
until men satisfactory to the upper
house are recommended.
Senator Norris seven-to-two plan
is Of doubtful constitutionality, and
any amendment to the constitution
including your own minimum wage
and maximum hour proposal, which
we heartily favor, may take many
years for adoption. 1t is u judg-
ment that the unemployment and
other pressing problems cannot wait
even year for solution, hence
the need for a Supreme Court that
will permit our democracy to func-
ton.
The Miles City Trades and Labor
Council, in regular meeting assem-
bled, instructed me to send you this
communication, in the hope that you
may consider again your stand.
Sincerely yours,
Miles City Trades and Labor
Council, A. L. Haelsig, Sec'y

HOUSE OF F E~SENTATIVES

T i, March Goth, 1887
Montana La lews,
Butte, Mont
Dear Sirs:
l have before me a copy of your
paper of March lib with the score
board or the batting average of the
Representatives in the 1887 session.
l note with great interest the 100
percenters, and those that did not
do so good. On the honor roll there
are twenty names that batted 100
per cent according to the measures
that were chosen for the rating, also
there are IL names on the same roll
that hit less than 100 per cent and
as low as sc per cent. Just how is
this rated? | missed two of the
measures due to being on the com
mittee that was sent to Columbia
Falls to investigate the Soldiers
Home, both of which / would have
voted for. Then l note you have
chosen H. B. 65 for one of the labor
measures and l also voted for this
bill as l believe there should be
someone that should be the head
man, and then one will know where
the blame lies and can put the pres
sure where it belongs as in the days
gone by it was the pass the buck.
One of the most vicious bills that
was passed was H. B. AIS (Which
voted against) and I note that at
least three of the hundred percenters
voted for this bill. l recall in your
paper the last week in February you
carried a story about this same bill,
yet l do not see it listed. The fol-
lowing are all strictly labor measures.
and I went right down the line (as
l belong to the B. of L. F. & E. for
the past twenty years.: H. B. Is,
H. B So, H. B. SO, II. B. 81, H. B.. 70,

not recall at this time.

LEGISLATIVE MEETING
EXPOSES SENATE

Tom Stimatz again took the spot
light at the High School, Saturday
evening, with a scathing rebuke of
INSCRIPTIONS activities of some of
the leaders of the legislature and
the chiseling and wavering policy of
some of the pretended friends of
labor.
James Leary, president of the
Miners Union, acted as chairman of
the meeting and introduced the
speakers. The purpose of the meet
ing was to expose some of the Chi
canery employed in the House and
Senate and also by the lobbyists.
Mr.. Mike Mulholland in describ-
ing the lobbying activities of the
corporations named as the third
house, stated in his opinion, it was
more powerful than either of the
Houses and possibly more powerful
| than both of them combined. One
thing the meeting did, it gave the
audience a true conception of the
absolute worthlessness of the Sen
ate as a unit of the government in
respect of the common people. The
Senate of the state of Montana is
an impeachment to progress, a re-
dictionary, worthless and contempt
ible, functioning in the interests of
greed and selfishness. The people
of the state of Montana would do
well to abolish it. Perhaps if enough
agitation is kept up on this subject
it will bear fruit.
Tom Brown, who was sent to Hell
ena by the Miners Union to assist in
the passage of some of the labor
bills, was one of the speakers. Other
speakers besides those already men
toned were Sam Spiegel and A. w.
Anderson. The crowd enjoyed the
tilt that occurred between Ander-
son and Stimatz. In Anderson's talk
he mentioned about the introduction
of the bill to license gambling and
referred to the value that would
come to the state from revenue from
the sale of licenses. Stimatz seemed
to consider this a good subject to
attack and politely reprimanded all
of the legislators who had anything
to do with the measure.
Stimatz in winding up his talk
made an appeal to the people to
elect him to the office of Police
Judge which he is seeking on the
Republican ticket.
