off tiny square bits with elaborately
casual unconcern.

Yes, Mike she said, slipping up TO
her feet In one fluid movement of supple

his heartbeats in big, slow, even tlaunlps

heart or hers making so much noise
She really felt as if thunder were crash

She stared up at him then. And

Then Mrs. Cramer had a stroke and
Mike knew 1t was all over. Howard
came out in frantic rush toward the
end of the fourth and next to final day
of the tournament, and Connie stopped
playing and stepped back

Mike stepped forward

Mike quoted further. "the loser can

Connie flung him muted Thank

night Mrs. Cramer sank into coma
and never regained consciousness until
the end, late next morning.
But Mike did not know Mike was

Even Hollywood couldn't top that.
T,HE last lap OF the game Mike became
aware Of two things. He wasn't going

RUSSIAN GOLD

Recently the menace of Russian
gold has been played up in financial
circles. Only a few years ago these
circles raised the spectre of the
dumping of Soviet goods on the
world markets. Now, with the I'M
solved international gold crisis on
their hands, the very substantial in
crease in gold production in the
Soviet Union is presented as another
menace to international monetary
stability"
In keeping with the tremendous
strides which have been made in all
phases of Soviet industry and agri-
culture, gold production naturally
has not been neglected. The Bank
for International Settlement ir
Switzerland reports that Soviet gold
output in 1886 increased SIT per cent
over 1929. The Soviet Union, since
1884, has been the second largest
producer of gold in the world
South Africa is first-and by the end
of the Third Five-Year Plan is ex-
pected to take first rank.
Montana labor news., 1937-09-23

The gold produced in the Soviet
Union is in the main being added to
the gold reserves of the country, as
a backing for Soviet currency and
for possible future use in settling
international balances of payments
with other countries. In recent years
the international balance of pay
ments has been in favor of the Soviet
Union. 1t should be noted that the
increasing gold reserves of the U. S.
S. R. r an important factor in rails
ing its credit standing and defensive
powers. Official statistics of Soviet
gold reserves are not available, and
it would therefore be idle to specu-
late on the widely varying estimates
which are being made. Unquestion-
ably, however, the would-be attack
ers of the Soviet Union must reckon
with this added element of strength.
For in the last analysis, international
settlements must be made in gold.
AS for the relation of Russian gold
to the international currency situa-
ton, the National City Bank bulletin
for June has the following to say:
despite the rapidly expanding out
put, very little gold was shipped out

A smack" has been defined as food
taken out of the ordinary course; a bite;
a morsel, or a hasty repast. Regardless
of its definition, most everyone enjoys q
mid-morning, mid-afternoon, or late
evening snack.
While some of us may believe that
eating between meals, or before retiring,
is a bad habit and apt to ruin the appe-
tite and the figure, the truth of the
matter is that most people who partake
of between-meal snaeks eat no more
food, but instead distribute their daily
ration into five instead of three parts.
Recent experiments conducted at one
of the large eastern universities point
conelusively to the fact that "many of
us would be more efficient if we would
take five meals a day, instead of three"
To prove this point, numerous tests
were made OF factory workers, school
children, stenographers, and teachers.
Their muscular efficiency stayed higher
on a FIVE meal than on a two or three
meal schedule.

serve nicely for this light repast.
Mothers also can speed up their daily

Strange Liberality in Our Universities

The following quotation has a direct bear
ing on conditions now present at Montana
State University. Under the present dicta-
torial rule of President Simmons, professors
are fired without written charges, placed on
a month-to-month salary basis, or put on a
definite BLACKLIST" The Board of Educa-
ton on April IL dismissed Professor Keeney
and placed Professor Rowe on a month-to-
month salary basis. On July II the Board
refused to correct this serious blunder. Now
the Montana Federation of Labor is testing
this extraordinary power in the courts. It
is time for all members of organized labor
and liberals in Montana to publicize the high
handed administrative tactics on the campus
of Montana State University.

Roger Deeney, Former
Butte Resident, Tells
Story OF ). F. Unions

An interesting story comes from
San Francisco concerning Roger P.
Deeney, a former Butte man and
member of organized labor here. The
union to which he belongs, Local
No. 1888 of the Hotel, Apartment
Clerks & Office Employees Union,
recently held an election. This Or
g%anization is n of the largest and
most active in San Francisco. Quite
a campaign was carried or for the
election of officers. Circulars were
put out by friends of Mr.. Deeney
and one way in which they identified
him to other members of the organ
ization who might possibly not be
very well acquainted with him was
through this phrase: "You all knew
him as a very active member dur
ing the recent strike"
A Deeney for President Club was
formed somewhat similar to the
clubs that are formed in the political
parties. However after the votes
were all counted it was learned that
Roger had been defeated by two
votes. The vote cast for his oppo-
nent was 298, and that cast for
Deeney was 296 with the other can
didates trailing far behind.
Mr.. Deeney is a colorful writer.
In a letter to DR.. Farrell of Butte,
Mr.. Deeney said, II was quite active
in the strike in the capacity of AS
sistant Chief Clerk on the desk at
the patrol office at strike headquar-
tiers throughout the last 21a months.
There were 6 unions directly out on
strike, the cooks, walters, dishwash-
ers, mattresses, bartenders and our
new union, Local 283-Hotel, Apart
ment, Clerks and Office Employees
Union-which includes maids, bell
boys, porters, telephone operators,
clerks, doormen, etc.
My union nominated me for presi-
dent and we had an election three
weeks after the strike ended. I was
defeated by two votes" Further on
he states "The laugh of it was: l
was overconfident, and could not
visualize by any stretch of the mag
nation how l could lose. Out of a
total membership of $500, only 645
votes yer cast. l took it on the
chin without a squawk as it was
really a victory. | think from the
sentiment of the men that l can have
almost anything the union has to
offer now, which may mean election
to the office of business agent two
weeks from now. l saw Tommie
Wier on Market Street and he was
telling me about conditions in Butte.
| have made many friends here and
like it more as the clock ticks my
earthly stay away. My residence
totals owe three years now"
In a postscript, Mr.. Deeney states
that he was elected delegate to the
| State Federation of Labor conven
ton and will spend 10 days at Long
Beach.
