NA5H-F|N(H UNFAIR

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council at its last session, concurred
in a request from the Gallatin Val
ley Trades and Labor Council at
Bozeman, asking that the Nash-Finch
Company of that city be placed on
the unfair list. This company seems
to be one of those concerns that will
not play fair with organized labor.
The allegation vas made on the floor
of the Trades Council at Butte that
it moved out of here in order to
avoid paying the regular teamsters'
scale of wages. It was also stated
that the same firm had been de-
clared unfair in Lewistown and 9TH
er places. It is too bad that there
is such chiseling enterprises through
out the country. It is n reason
that panics are inevitable. A letter is
published elsewhere in this issue of
the Montana Labor News from the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
asking that the unions buy Hall F.
Beich candy. 1t is union made.
Women Should Not Be Reduced
The Workers Alliance of Butte
thanked the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell for its donation of $40 and stated
that a meeting will be held Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock a. m. at Car
penters Hall. The letter asked that
the Trades and Labor Council and
all other unions to be represented at
this meeting. Mr.. Comba, president
of the Council, turned the commune
cation over to the relief committee
of the Council of which Nh. John
Mullaney is acting chairman. This
meeting on Saturday is called to pro-
test the determination of the Works
Progress Administration to reduce
the wages of the women in the sew
ing rooms, also to lengthen their
hours. The Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil took a leading part in establish
ing the scale now being paid the
women in the sewing room which is
70 cents an hour. The regional of
flee of the WPA and the national
office also have shed many crocodile
tears over the vast sums that have
been paid these poor women. It
seems a sad commentary that a ma
ton as rich as this is, and a govern
ment with such unlimited resources,
should have to pick on comparative
ly helpless females in order to pinch
a penny. It is hoped that the pro-
posa1 to reduce the women in the
sewing room will be checkmated.

Sport


Promoters of pro basketball cannot
understand why their game fails to
flourish while in amateur ranks
basketball is riding the crest of a
new wave of popularity. If they
want lead, they might give a
thought to the "floaters"-lads who
cannot get enough of the game by
combining their efforts to one team.
No single feature has done more to
kill the goose that laid the golden
egg for pro basketball, except, pos
sibly, lack of organization and bet
ting. ~
This business of players appearing
together as teammates one night
and the next as bite: CD opponents,
is hardly one to promote confidence
in the minds of spectators. They
would have to be mighty guillible to
witness such goings-on and believe
that games were honestly and Wig
orously contested. Not all of the
pro teams encourage this: there are
plenty of reputable quintets that
have their members sign contracts
calling for their exclusive services.
But, there are many that depend
on floaters to attract crowds in one
night stands, They are the ones
that harm the mercenary game.
Collegians s'Change Up" Too
The lads who go in for extra
basketball on the side are not con-

lads do it purely for fun, but there
are plenty who pick up spending
money from outside efforts.
You often hear the same thing in
amateur ranks. 1t calls to mind a
yarn Hank Barrow, the New York
cartoonist who draws THE Gay
Thirties," told recently when the
subject of ringers" was mentioned.
Hank once played basketball with
