special Dispatch TO Ine STAR
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE emphasis
placed on the labor situation in cur
rent gatherings Of industrial leaders
confirms early representations that
labor would be industry's No. prob
lem for 1887, according to Business
Week today. This week steel activity
for the country as a whole dropped
II points as result Of the strike in
independent mills of Republic, Youngs-
town Sheet g. Tube, and Inland Steel.
Meanwhile agitation continues at the
Ford plant.
This week, too, railroads commenced
negotiations with IA unions requesting
a 20 per cent an hour increase in
wages. destined to cut into this
years earnings of the roads, which
for the first time since 1881 have
been running in the black
Steel customers of the strike affected
plants are casting about for other
sources of supply and have attempted
to shift orders to plants not affected
by labor disturbances. Chances are
doubtful, because mills outside of
strike centers have an ample backlog
of their own to consider before tack
ling needs of new customers.
Freight Outlook Good.
Though April carloadings were
curtailed by the sudden slr up in coal
shipments following the urlef coal
strike on April 2, so that railroad
earnings for the month were less than
might have been expected after the
favorable reports of March, the pros
poets for the balance of the year
continue bright.
Loadings are expected to continue
rising more or less evenly, except for
holiday weeks, until the Fall, aided
by larger industrial and agricultural
shipments. Chief fly in the ointment,
as far as earnings are concerned, is
the probable size of the wage increase
to be granted.
Judging from the substantial in
crease in both employment and pay
rolls in the agricultural equipment in
dustry in April. there is no apparent
elackening in demand for its products
from farm areas Farm income for
that month was well sustained, and
for the first four months to date Is
running u per cent ahead of compar-
able months of 1886 May and June
income looks equally promising de-
spite the fact that prices received in
May and perhaps in June, tended to
decline.
Advertising Increases.
Advertising activity has gained 10
points since January and in April
stood within two points of the Decem-
Der peak, when holiday advertising and
the pressure of the undistributed earn
ings tax gave newspaper, farm paper
and magazine advertising an extra
flllip, With the likelihood that the
tax will still be on the books through
out 1887, advertising media look to
another last quarter squirt this year
similar to that Of 1886.
Stimulated by construction and au-
tomobile activity, the plate-glass in
dustry has been recovering rapidly
since the production break in Decem-
Der and January occasioned by labor
difficulties. April set new high in
output.
Cigarette production is we'll on its
way to establishing :. new high for
1887. Every month since June, 1896,
has been setting record for the
month. April, 1887, was the eleventh
such record.

Administration has taken a signifi-

remains for is progressives, for 9TH
ers in Congress sincerely DESTROYS of
preserving peace, and for the people
generally, to so shape our legislative
policy that arrogant aggressors and
peace-breakers shall at least know
that American policy is not a stand
ing invitation to them to do else
where what they did in Spain-to
do what is now being done in China.
In the light of all this, must we not
consider that the United States may
be next unless we, as a people and
a government, morally strengthen
the peace forces of the world?
We progressives, as legislators
planning for the struggles of the next
session of Congress and as liberty
loving citizens, go back to join the
people in their fight for a better
life. To do otherwise would be to
betray them-for we have only just
begun to fight.

to Mr.. Steinmetz, more than eight
hours. Under the laws of the State
of Montana no female is allowed tc
work ove eight hours a day. If the
allegations made in this respect are
true, the Eddy Baking Company will
probably be faced with action by the
Labor Commissioner, Edward o.
Byrne, and the Attorney Generals
office. Not only this, but at the last
session of the Legislature a law was
passed which provided in effect that
q certain minimum profit should be
obtained IN all commodities in groc-
cry and other stores dealing in that
type of merchandise.
Some time after the strike occurred
in Great Falls, Eddy's started TO sell
three l5-cent loaves of bread for 10
cents. After this violation of the act
was brought to their attention, they
reduced this price, so it was stated,
to two 15-cent loaves for 10 cents.
Now according to the speakers of
the Trades Council, they are selling
two 1O-cent loaves for is cents. At
any rate the Trades and Labor AS
sembly of Great Falls have brought
these ~nefarious practices of the Eddy
Baking Company to the attention of
the fair trades practice association
of Great Falls.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council is determined to assist the
Great Falls organizations in making
the Eddy Baking Company comply
with the union rules and wages and
to this end, a motion was passed that
a joint conference be held between
a committee representing the Bakers
Union of Great Falls, a committee
representing the Bakers Union of
Butte and the Grievance Committee
of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council.

of the Ludlow Resolution that will
give to the American people the right
to vote and decide by national refer
endum when America shall enter
war. We shall urge that the Ameri-
can government take an aggressive
step in foreign policy by demanding
that Hitler, Mussolini and the Japa-
nese do not violate all the treaties
that have been signed, that they
cannot violate the Nine Power Pact
that they must stop this aggression
and invasion and bring peace to the
world
We pledge the aged of this coun-
try-that we will give them real
security by fighting to enact into
law at the next session of the Con-
gress the General Welfare Act of
1887.
We promise the American Negro
that we will strive to enact into law
the Wagner avagan anti-lynching
bill so that the American Negro may
be freed from the threat of lynching
wherever it exists.
And, last but most important of
all, we promise to continue to fight
under the leadership of the Presi-
dent of the United States, as we
know he is continuing to fight, for
a reformation of the Supreme Court
of the United States. Heartened by
his appointment of Senator Black,
that great Progressive and Liberal
from the South, heartened by the
fact that we know further vacancies
will be filled by great Liberals and
Progressives in this country, we will
battle for a permanent solution that
will absolutely remove from the Su-
preme Court of the United States its
power to veto acts of Congress, a
right which is not theirs, a right
which it has usurped, a right neither
provided by the law nor the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
For these things my friends, the
Liberals and the ~Progressives in the
Congress of the United States will
fight as they never fought before
will join the President of the United
States in his great crusade, will join
him in these intervening months
when he carries his battle to the
people-we will go back to you, fight
with you shoulder to shoulder for
the political and economic emancipa-
ton Of the great masses of the Amer
lean people!

dominated by corporate interests or
the interests of their hirelings.
Keeney's dismissal was the first
step by the corporate interests to
bust the damn unions as was stated
by one of the corporations many
hirelings. If the corporate interests
are not Sitting real education in the
publicly supported institutions, then
why r they trying to bust the
union on the Montana campus?
The farmers and laborers must not
lose the ground they have gained in
freeing education in Montana. The
job is partly done. 1t will be COM
plete when Keeney is re-instated
and when there is a teachers unions
in every school in Montana.
The Montana campus is getting the
reputation it justly deserves, as a
place where no professor of intellec-
tual honesty or integrity will teach
if he can get a position in a school
not controlled by reactionary vested
interests. The A. F. T. local union
on the Missoula campus was the re-
suit of the Intellectually honest pro-
fessors to teach instead of propa-
gandize.
The farmers and laborers are
working together to free the public
schools of the state from the slough
Of the copper shadow. They will win
because they must; the issue creeps
into the home of every Montana citi-
zen who thinks, lives, tolls in this
state where living could be bountiful
Neither the A. C. M. Company,
its paid press, nor its numerous hire
lings can stop the united forces Of
farmer and laborer from making
Montana's schools a place of learning
instead of a copper-colored propa-
ganda factory. For the first time
in a long while, the issues cannot
be befogged. The men in public
office who have fought for the cause
of farmer and laborer have beer
few, but they stand for the prin-
ciples underlying labor union and
farmer union detectives.
These people have made the good
fight: Ruth Reardon, Charles Free
bourn, and Jerry O'Connell. They
are the only ones of the publicly
elected officials who have represent
ed the electorate for education, I'M
i%onization and a decent standard Of
living.
This fight for education in Mon
tana has shown where the progress
sive forces lie in our contemporary
life. Let's see to it that this united
front of farmer and laborer goes on
to further victories when the first
cause of education is won by Kee-
ney's Reinstatement.

UNIONS PLEDGE
SUPPORT TO BAKERS
STRIKE, GREAT FALLS

Stating that he had come to Butte
to appeal to the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council to help effect a
settlement of the dispute between
the Eddy Baking Company and the
Bakery Workers of Great Falls,
Bruce Steinmetz, president of the
Cascade County Trades and Labor
Assembly, described the cause and
the course of the strike which has
involved these two elements in the
northern city for the last two months.
Mr.. Steinmetz stated that the Eddy
Baking Company was seeking to
discredit the union movement of
Great Falls; that much propaganda
had been spread by this company.
The bakers in Great Falls were seek
ing a SO hour week for $40. The
business interests, after the strike
had been in progress over a period
of time, in an effort to bring the
conflicting parties together, submit
ted a proposition whereby the bakers
would be paid SAL a week for 40
hours, or if this was not acceptable
that they would be paid $40 for 40
hours and have one week vacation
with pay. This overture was turned
down by the Eddy Baking Company.
In submitting both statements for
publication 70 the Great Falls news
papers, the attitude of the union was
given quite a little space. In fact
the business people and the general
public in Great Falls seem to feel
that the bakers are justified in their
demands.
The scale in Butte at the present
time is $1.05 an hour. The demands
made by the bakers in Great Falls,
as stated before, is ST an hour and
a weeks vacation with pay. This
is customary in agreements and is
not unreasonable at all, but was
refused by Eddy's. The Eddy Bak-
ing Company in an effort to break
down the resistance of the union in
Great Falls, have been resorting to
the importation of outside bread and
cakes, so it was alleged by Mr.. Stein
metz. This practice is contrary and
in violation of all union rules. The
Butte union has jurisdiction over the
union at Bozeman and also over the
union at Helena. The Butte union
is DESTROYS, so it was stated by mem
bers of the Grievance Committee al
the Trades and Labor Council Tues
day night, of helping the Great Falls
organization, but they feel that the
source from whence the bakery
goods is being shipped into Great
Falls should be a%scertained.
From very good authority, it was
learned at Tuesday nights meeting
at the Trades Council, that the Eddy
Baking Company is r~esorting to use
of the union labels by unfair
methods; that they r not permitted
to use the label on produce that is
being shipped into Great Falls. It
was further stated that officers OF
the Butte union will visit the Helena
plant within the near future and if
allegations made against Eddy's are
authenticated, that all labels now in
the plant will be confiscated. Not
only is the Eddy Baking Company
in an embarrassing situation with
the unions in Great Falls, but it is
also being accused at the present
time of working its girls, according

Weather Today GU. s. Weather Bureau)

High pressure, with a ridge ex- tending into the Canadian north west territories, is centered ov- CT the interior of Alaska this morning attended by sub-freez- ing temperatures and generally fair weather except for some snow in the vicinity of Fair banks. Another high over south western Canada is causing clear weather to obtain over that re- zion and the entire Pacific Coast of the United States. The low which was south of Kodiak has practically dissipated while the secondary which was mentioned has become the primary and with a secondary dominates nearly the entire North Pacific Ocean, caus ing overcast weather at sea and along the south Alaskan coast through the entire chain of the Aleutian Islands. It has also caus ed rain to become general over southeastern Alaska with the greatest precipitation at Juneau during the past "A hours of near ly two inches.
 Low pressure also dominates the Arctic regions with its cen ter north of Point Barrow and a trough extending to another low in the vicinity of Greenland.
 This is causing cloudy and un- settled weather over northwest ern Alaska and the Arctic area.
 The temperatures are about normal with the lowest Nome reading last night 36 degrees and the highest yesterday 42.
