night-black walls of the forest and slid
into the tunnel. Back there somewhere
lay Thaya.
Anita stood at the window for a
while, then sat down and folded her
hands. She was travelling first class,
because she had a pass. Her sleeves
cut under the armpits, for she'd had
her only suit dyed black, and it had
shrunk in the process. She was wearing
black cotton gloves, dyed at the finger
tips. She was carrying a bag of imita-
ton leather and she didn't know what
to do with the huge wreath she'd
brought along, which was already be-
ginning to fade and smell of over
ripe carnations. But the brim of her
hat wa turned up and Haunted a red
feather at the side like a challenging

Going to Vienna, too?" asked a
gentleman, who had been cycling her
for some little time.
Eyes. Herr Osten," she answered like
a docile child. To make the adventure
still more thrilling, young Herr Osten
was travelling on the same train.
Shall we see if there's anything left
to drink in the dining carp" he asked.
His hair looked thin, though he was
still a young a
"Cigaret?" he said, and proffered his
case.
THANK you," she said and took one,
though she had never smoked before.
He guided her through the swaying
corridors of the train. Thaya was al

They were just closing the dining
car. Young Herr Osten muttered an

heart pounded violently-She wanted
that dress as she'd never wanted NV
thing in all her life. Her throat grew
dry with emotion. She went away and
came back. She stared at the dress
again, adjusted her hat and went in.
Everything in this shop was soft

I'd like to see the dress in the win
dow" said Anita in a pinched voice.
In the dressing room Anita broke
from her own clothes as though she
were breaking out of a cell. A thrill
ran over her skin, as the folds of the
velvet slipped about her. In front of a
mirror, the two girls who were waiting
on her came to life.
How lovely Madame looks!" they
cried, full of admiration.
Anita couldn't realize what had hap
pened to her. Can clothes do a thing
like this?" she thought, aghast. She
was another woman.
How much is it?" she asked.
-Four hundred shillings," said the
Saleswoman.
Anita stood shattered in front of the
mirror, trying not to weep. The eight
hundred shillings burned in her old
handbag. It was the wrong moment to
think of Karl, but there he was, wav-
ing after the train as it pulled out.
Thaya. Eight hundred shillings. The
station restaurant. Or, at any rate, the
beer license.
I'll have to think it over" she said,
and with haSty nervous fingers, began
peeling the dress off.
She escaped to the street. It was
train time. She beckoned a taxi. If

WRESTLING DATE
TO Be MONDAY

The next wrestling card at the
Miners Union hall will be held next
Monday, Nov. %.
In the main event Duke Ruppen-
thai will meet Wildcat Pete in a
return match. They fought 1t out
for n hour and 90 minutes to a
draw three weeks ago and the fans
demanded a return match for so
many felt that Pete should have had
the decision.
Billy Spendlove, the Canadian
Terror, is living up to his boast that
he will beat all the wrestlers in the
state, but our tough and rough friend
from New York, Billy Shinall, says
he can get just as rough as Spend
love and will stop his winning streak.
They will have a one-hour semi
final to prove their ability in the
ring and not by talk on the outside.
We have another newcomer this
week, Jack Brentana from Portland,
Ore. Jack is well known in the
Northwest and is rated as on of the
10 top wrestlers. He will appear
against Young Hitler from Germany
in the opening Commute bout.

UNIONS ASKED TO ASSIST
MEETING OF LEAGUE
AGAINST WAR

Jean Simmons Murray of Great
Falls, representing the American
League Against Wan and Fascism,
urged the unions of Silver Bow
County to contribute to the success
of a convention to be held by that
organization in Pittsburgh, Novem-
Der 26 to %. The delegates upon
the conclusion of Mrs. Murray's adj
dress adopted a motion in which all
union affiliated with the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council were
urged to contribute So primarily to
help pay the expenses of the dele
gate from Montana to this conven-
ton. Mrs. Murray expressed pleas
ure at being permitted to address the
central labor body and then delved
into a historical picture of the havoc
of the world war. The speaker de-
scribed how the working people
prior to this war did not have any
adequate idea of the sorrow and
misery and cruelty attendant upon
such a conflict. Many people still
carried with them the glamor and
patriotism that had been inculcated
in their minds through reading the
history books Of the schools and the
romantic fictions around which many
of these wars have been built.
The purpose of this convention Of
the League Against War and Fas-
cism in Pittsburgh is to attempt to
more fully educate the people of the
country against the horrors of war
and also against the menace of grow
ing fascism in this country. Mrs.
Murray described the apparent
Roadway this philosophy of govern
ment is making, how it undermines
democratic institutions and how it
is encouraged by the Liberty League,
Manufacturing Associations, corpora
tions and other %subversive bodies.
Fascism seeks to destroy the United
States government by force if neces-
sary. 1t is the one recourse left to
the powerful financial and incorpor-
ate interests in the United States to
keep them in the saddle in face of
the impending and imminent col
lapse of the profit system. Mrs.
Murray showed how the League
Against Wan and Fascism opposed
the passage of the mobilization bill
in the last session of Congress, how
the organization had assisted the
trade unions in various parts of the
country in their strikes, at times
furnishing pickets to assist in the
struggle. She mentioned the com
position of the body which includes
many officials of the local trade I'M
ions, International organizations and
representatives of nearly every re-
ligious body in the United States,
including Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish. Montana is attempting to
raise enough money to send one
delegate.

until the end of the fiscal year next
June. No provisions were made in
the law for deficiency appropria-
tions. This merely means that if all
of the money which was originally
appropriated is used up, no more
can be appropriated. However it
would seem that if Congress passed
one law not permitting efficiency
appropriations, it could pass another
one to permit appropriations. It
was further explained to the com
mittee that it is possible to increase
the number Of persons whom the
government may take care of, if,
during next spring and early sum
mer, the list can be reduced so that
the appropriation will not be over
drawn. Both the Miners Union and
the Trades and Labor Council COM
mittee urged that money be taken
from next springs allowance if nee
essary to are for the pressing needs
of the present.
Mr.. Brummett and Mr.. Anderson
expressed their concern over the dis
tress which exists in this county and
which will continue to exist if some
immediate plans are not put into
effect. Mr.. Parker is doing his ut
most to impress upon the federal
authorities the urgent need of plac-
ing more people to work.

Last week the Montana Labor
News published a letter from the
Pressmen's Union of Cincinnati ask
ing organized labor to help them in
their fight against the Multi-C Color
Type Company. This company re-
fused to permit the men to organize
and has taken a very vicious attitude
toward the printing craftsmen. The
Multi-C Color Type Company manu-
features colored labels of cigarets,
tin cans, etc, and some of the people
who are using these labels were
mentioned in the article.
Some of these companies are no

to mention again some Of the prod

LABOR COLLEGE MAY BE
ESTABLISHED AT BUTTE

Mary Hopkins, supervisor of

ton to the Trades and Labor Council
of establishing a labor school in
Butte. The communication was
turned over to the Montana Labor
News to work out with the Workers
Adult Education and the education
committee of the Trades and Labor
Council. The letter containing the
suggestion of establishing a college
is as follows;

Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council,
Dear Council Members:
The last issue of the Montana La
Dor News contained an article rele-
want to a Labor College established
in st. Paul last year and in session
at the present time.
AS supervisor of the Workers Edu-
cation Program under the WPA, !
am interested in establishing such a
school in Butte. We could offer such
courses as Labor Economics, History
of the Labor Movement, bookkeep-
ing, public speaking, parliamentary
law, commercial law, English, mathe-
MATES and many other subjects that
are of interest to the union people of
Butte. We would also like to estab-
fish a department of information,
through which any union or person
desiring information on a specific
subject could request this informa-
ton. We could then gather the ma
terial and present it to those who
requested it.
l feel that a program of this type
would be of great value to the mem
bers of organized labor in this com
munity. It would be necessary for
the pupils to provide a class room
in which to hold the classes. We
would furnish the teacher and as
much study material as possible.
