LEGION
ASKS THAT NOV. II
BE MADE HOLIDAY

Inc lIdueS ana LdDOI OOullCll
was visited by a committee from the
American Legion composed of Joe
Toole, a member of the Street Car
Mems Union, Bion w. Hall of the
Miners Union, and Fred Lehn of the
Machinists last Tuesday. They urged
the Assembly to endorse a move to
have Armistice Day, November 18th,
of each year made a legal state holi-
day. At the present time a measure
is pending in the Legislature to eff
feet such a purpose. Mr.. Toole was
the first to take the floor in behalf
Of his organization. He called at
tention that in most of the cities in
Montana, Armistice Day is nov and
has been observed as a holiday, but
in Butte it is just another day of the
week.
He told the delegates that the same
committee had been before the
Clerks Union for their endorsement
which had been granted. In ex-
planning about the visit to that I'M
ion, it was mentioned that the clerks
had lost Columbus Day as one of
their holidays, and under the new
agreement with the Associated In
dustry, Armistice Day should be in
cluded. The American Legion's atti-
tude toward creating the new hole
day is very liberal in respect to I'M
ions and any future agreements that
the unions may have with employ
ers. The Legion does not want the
unions to relinquish any of the Holt
days which they are now enjoying
for the sake of establishing Armistice
Day, but to try if possible to have
Armistice Day included in the con-
tract.
Hall went into the meaning and
significance of Armistice Day. He
said that it denoted the termination
of the great conflict of 1914-18. "The
generation growing up will want to
know why Armistice Day was estab-
Ished as a holiday" he remarked,
adding quickly that it was not to
commemorate the war but to com
memorate peace. During the world
war, he said, the United States treas
ury was a jack pot in which every
one reached in except the soldiers.
Mr.. Lehn, in his talk, urged the
delegates not to feel that the Ameri-
can Legion was selfish in establish
ing Armistice Day because that was
not the purpose. The speaker seemed
to feel that in making the termina-
ton of the war a day apart that il
would be the means of teaching the
people not to make foreign alliances
to entangle them with the %quarrels
of other nations. Montana would moi
be doing something new, declared
Mr.. Lehn, in this effort, because II
states have already established No.
vember II as a holiday and most Of
the towns in Montana are observing
it as a holiday, Notwithstanding that
it has never been made legal. The
speaker digressed from the mair
subject of the visit to state that rs
per cent Of the members of the
American Legion were also members
of organized labor and the other %
per cent were b~ookkeepers, profess
sional people, or small business men
who by their occupations are ex-
cluded from the ranks of organized
labor.
The Trades Council endorsed both
the request of the committee to es-
tablish Armistice Day as a holiday
and the measure pending in the Leg
islature which has for its end the
same purpose.

OPEN FORUM
MUTUAL CREAMERY
SHOWS The WAY

The following letter was received
from the Mutual Creamery Com
pany. 1t calls the attention of the
union people and their sympathizers
to buying union label merchandise.
The unions should not overlook
the fact that by buying products of
a union factory, they are helping to
keep members of their own organ
izations employed thereby strength
ening their own ranks, not only that,
but if they refrain from buying IN
fair goods they then compel these
institutions to unionize so that there
is a two-fold value in complying
with the suggestion that is made in
this letter. Sometimes it is rather
embarrassing to confess that the
merchants are more union conscious
and appreciate to a greater extent
the value of purchasing union made
products than the union members
themselves.
Let us hope that the unions will
pay heed to this letter.

PLANNED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April g..
Funeral services for Capt. Thomas
Marion Hamilton, 70, veteran of
three wars, and one of the last of
General Custis' scouts, who died at
Mount Alto Hospital, Washington,
Sunday, will be held at 1880 p. m.
tomorrow at his home, 52l
Duke st.
A veteran of the Spanish.Amer-
ican War, the World War, in which
he saw service with the Thirty
third Engineers, and the Mexican

mis- early training as scout under

ences.
Captain Hamilton was active in
civic affairs here during recent
years, and was a candidate for
city council three years ago. He
was born at Spring Green, Wis,
and moved to Alexandria in 1928,
after being retired from the Army.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Edith M. Hamilton; son, John

ment as they do at present. He
said:
In Baltimore, If the tax Off
cials feel that a person is not
making q large enough return,
that person is sent a bill for
some enormous amount - say
several million dOllarS-and Of
course the person then will
show Just what intangible prop
erty he has that is subject to
the tax. In this way we get all
we are supposed to get, and I
don't see why a similar system
could not be put into effect
here"
He also is inclined to feel that
instead of taxing automobiles sc
heavily, as the Collins bills pro
pose, the tax be rearranged sc
that the owners of private auto
mobiles would not have to pay Sc
much while owners of heavy com
mercial vehicles would be mort
heavily taxed.
AS yet he has set no date for thu
beginning of hearings on the ques
tion, explaining that he will moi
begin until a bill is put through
the House to give his Subcommit
tee some $4,000 to be used in hir
ing experts to work with his group
He hopes for that action some
time this week.

FOR AID
IND|SASTERS
OUTLINED

Plans for more efficient CO.
ordination of health agencies, the
Red Cross and the United States
Public Health Service in times Of
disaster were outlined today at the
convention of state and Provincial
Health Officers of North America
by DR.. Verne K. Harvey, OF In
diana, member of the disaster re-
lief committee of the organization.
The committees proposals, for
mulated as the result Of a recent
survey, provide for a general divi-
sion of responsibility among the
various agencies in event Of dis
aster.
The American Red Cross, &C.
cording to the plan, will take care
of relief needs in the way OF food,
clothing, shelter, medical relief and
economic rehabilitation, although
other agencies may be called upon
to aid.
Medical Aid Plans
Medical service, wherever posi-.
BILE, will be rendered by the local
medical profession, with the Red
Cross supplying additional nursing
personnel, supplies and temporary
hospital quarters.
Health protection, according to
the report. will be considered as
primarily a responsibility Of the
public health agencies which are
equipped to cope with prevention
of disease. Under this category,
depending upon the type of dis
aster, is included protection OF wa,
ter supplies, sanitation Of food
and milk, sanitary control Of i'm
mediate area, control Of communi-
cable diseases and sanitation OF
facilities for shelter.
Prevention of the interstate
spread of disease is pronounced a
function of the United States Pub
lie Health Service.
Recommendations for pre-disaS'
ter organization include the Sug'
gestion that each State set aside
an emergency fund of from 5000
to $4,000 to be Immediately avail.

each State health department
should organize its personnel for
disaster relief so that they can be
thrown into immediate action"
Effectiveness Basis
The effectiveness of health ma
chinery for meeting disaster prob

pend upon the extent to which
