A committee of about Is people
from the Workers Alliance visited
the Trades and Labor Council and
requested the assistance of organized
labor in having the hours of labor
in the sewing room reduced from
SO to 70, or to what it was formerly.
At the present time the women in
the sewing room and on other sim
liar projects are working SO hours.
This has been going on for about
two months. The original scale set
by the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council and the Building Trades
Council and the Workers Alliance
was 70 hours at 7212 cents an hour.
Since the increase in hours was
adopted and the consequent reduc-
ton in rate of pay to 55 cents much
dissatisfaction has occurred among
the women and generally through
out the labor movement.
At a meeting of the women of the
Workers Alliance recently, it was
decided to picket the WPA office on
West Granite Street and to carry
banners. The Trades and Labor
Council, however, did not concur in
the strategy employed by the Work
ers Alliance.

undergraduates or for material re-
CURED by graduate students. Kee-
ney did this though he knew the
university was suffering from a re-
duced budget. President Simmons
produced no correspondence to show
that he had written to Professor
Keeney objecting to his library poll
cies or to his extravagant use of
university funds. One might think
that a university president would
like to have written evidence when
he had so unsatisfactory" a sub
ordinate.
President Simmons said that Pro-
fessor Rowe was an excellent lee
turer and a fine committeeman. But
Professor Rowe stirred up trouble
off and on the campus, hence it was
necessary to discipline him by Civ
ing him a month-to-month contract.
DR.. Simmons minated that there
were others mentioned by name in
the ''expunged' minutes who were
not Cooperating with the admin
istration. He did not state the kind
of discipline such men might be sub
Iected to, if they refused to play
ball. OF course, Rowe's interest in
the union had nothing to do with
the trouble he was stirring up.
DR.. Swain admitted that some
faculty members had permanent
tenure. Such men if summarily
fired might be given a hearing, He
seemed rather uncertain about the
hearing. When Mr.. Rankin ques-
toned him about the unloading"
letter, opposing counsel objected.
They said that the letter spoke for
itself. DR.. Swain said that his letter
to DR.. Simmons did not mean that
he thought Keeney was entitled to
a hearing even if he had warned DR..
Simmons to guard against such a
contingency.
Professor Keeney has appeared
before the Silver Bow Trades Coun-
Gil and the Cascade Trades Assembly
as well as before the Miners Union,
Stationary Engineers, and Team
sters of Butte, It is essential that
he remain in Montana until the
settlement of the case and address
as many labor bodies as possible
during the month of October. As
long as the press of Montana re-
fuses to mention the Keeney case
or to explain the dangerous situation
existing on the campus of Montana
State University, it will be necessary
for all branches of organized labor
to unite in a direct attack against
this form of victimization. This
fight must be won and labor in
Montana is powerful enough to bring
home a ringing victory.
According to the reactionary board
members, Professor Keeney has
been unemployed since Sept. l, 1887
and now it is up to the Keeney De
Tense Committee to keep Professor
Keeney in Montana until his re-
instatement. Union members who
have heard him present his case
know that he is a flesh and blooo
person and not a mere picture ir
the Montana Labor News. They
know moreover that Professor Kee-
ney is aware of the basic issues al
stake and is not seeking persona.

would be said, of course, about the

lofty legal plane. But the Presi-

be put on the griddle in sensational
front-page proceedings. Mr.. Hughes,

spread protest from the ranks of la
Dor against his discharge shows that
Montana labor can and will unite
on such issues as the right to Or
ganize free from persecution which
is the main issue in the Keeney case.
The international Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers-the IN
ion of which I am a member through
Butte Miners Union Number One,
largest union in the state-went on
record at its last international con-
vention in Denver for unity and in
structed its members to take all
necessary steps to preserve and ex-
tend the unity of organized labor.
The convention expressed a special
wish and instructed its members to
work in fraternity with the local
unions of the Brotherhood of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers. This we are trying to do
to the best of our ability.
President Archie Mcleod of the
State C. l. o. Council and myself
are trying and will continue to try
to carry out the letter and spirit of
the convention resolution. We would
like nothing better than to meet with
President Graham of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor and other State
Federation officers, with any and all
officers and active members of A. F.
Of L. unions and thresh out common
problems of the organized labor
movement in Montana.
President Mcleod and / are not
especially interested in who gets the
credit for organizing the morgan
lied; we are not specially interested
in who gets the newspaper publicity
We do not even insist on whether
or not newly organized local union;
in the industries named above affili-
ate directly to the State Federation
or the State C. 1. o. Council. We
believe that such questions if they
have to come up can always bt
settled by brotherly discussion.
But what we are interested in il
the fullest protection for the unior
rights, the wages and working con.
ditions of newly organized wagt
earners in the above named indus
tries, and of all wage earners.
l know l speak for Presiden
Archie Mcleod as well as myself
when I say that we are ready at al
times to take part in and ~contribut,
what we can to joint conference
called with the above purposes a
their objects.
In conclusion l want to repeat tina
the organized labor movement o
Montana, a state where the tigh
control of industry, the newspaper
and politics by powerful corpora
tons is known to every wage Garner
cannot afford dissension in its ranks
This is all the more important sine
l believe sincerely that all question
that produce such divisions can b
settled right here by joint meetings
discussion, democratic decisions AM
cooperation.
Fraternally yours,

Threatens Political Reprisal

Threatens Political Reprisal
Although his blunt rebuke to the
President was the most sensational
feature of his speech, Lewis's scath-
ing attack on Governor Davey and
the reactionary congressman who
blocked action on the wage-hour bill
was equally significant. He openly
and grimly threatened them with
political reprisal.
Lewis charged the Chicago police
with deliberate murder.
During the strike" he said, "eigh-
teen steel workers were either shot
TO death or had their brains dubbed
out by police, or armed hirelings in
the pay of the steel companies. None
but strikers were murdered, gassed,
injured, jailed or m~altreated."
And yet, Lewis continued with
soaring bitterness, despite this cold
blooded murder the administration
not only did not lift a finger in pro-
test but played political ball with
the city official directly involved in
the killings.
Shortly after Mayor Kelly's police
force in Chicago had INDUCED in
their bloody orgy Lewis said,
kelly came to Washington looking
for political patronage. That patron
age was forthcoming and Kelly
must believe that the killing of
strikers is no liability in partisan
politics"
Opposed to Communism
Lewis laid squarely on the door
step of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers full respon-
sibility for the organization of vigi-
lantes.
Union labor fundamentally is OPP
posed to Communism, Lewis assert
ed, as it is based on the wage system
and recognizes ~unreservedly the in
stitutiOn Of private property and the
right to Investment profit. The cry
Of Communism against organized la
Dor, he declared, is being raised by
reactiOnary interests in order to be-
cloud issues and cloak their own
true subversive nature.
As significant as his barrage of
fiery attacks was Lewis's silence re-
garding the A. F. L.
Neither by word nor implication
did he make any reference to the
rival labor organization. Close as
sociates Of Lewis declared that his
~reticence did not near there was
any likelihood Of early peace be-
tween the c. l.. o. and the A.. F. L
They asserted that the terms laio
down for a Impeachment by Greer
in a press interview were wholly
unacceptable.
Asks Aid of Farmers
Lewis avoided mentioning the A
F. L., it was explained, because he
considered his speech addressed tC
the entire country and not merely
to labor. He was presenting the
viewpoint not only of the c. I. o., i
was declared, but of organized labor
as a whole and therefore considered
comment on the differences between
the c. 1. o. and A. F. L. uncalled for
While saying nothing about the
A. f. L., Lewis made a warm pIes
to farmers for their support anG
cooperation.
He declared the same interests ex.
plotting labor are enemies of the
grower. He charged reactionary in.
dustrialists are deliberately seeking
to arouse farmer hostility to worker,
with propaganda attributing to the
latter increases in the cost of agri
cultural supplies.
