The President described his plan

1. Continuation of rehabilitation

people living on land which the

to pay.
2. Purchase Of submarginal land
so that it can be taken out of culti-

TWO PROJECTS UNDER
WAY AT HIGH SCHOOL

In accordance with the policy Of
the high school to secure for the
students any projects that will be
beneficial to them, two programs
have been initiated for which the
school wishes to secure the CO.
operation of patrons and friends
of the school, r. A. Lee, principal
of the high school said. These
projects are A Prevention Of Tub
erculosis Campaign and The Safe
ty Driving Project.
The Prevention Of tuberculosis
Campaign is sponsored by the Ari-
zona State Board of Health CO.
operating with the United States
Children's Board, the Arizona De-
partments of the Forty and Eight
and American Legion. These tests
have been taken by a large per-
centage of the students enrolled
in the schools where the tests have
ben given. More than 5000 stud
ents in the Phoenix Union High
School, Van Buren Street, have
taken the tests to date. It is the
hoped that the students of the
Colored High School will also take
advantage Of this offer i'll con-
siderable numbers.
In the near future your child

ture explaining the tuberculin test
and the procedure followed in its
administration. If you wish your
children to take the test, please
sign the consent slip and have your
child return the slip to Mr.. Lee at
the high school. No test can be
given without the consent slip
bearing the signature Of parent or
guardian. Return these slips to

lists must be prepared for us by

Kentucky Mon
Execufcd For
Petty Theft

LOUISVILLE, KY, Especial to
CNA)- BY Lee L. Brown Sam
Franklin of Louisville was put to
death in the electric chair at Eddy
vile State Prison Friday morning
at 1907, the first man in Kentucky
to pay the extreme penalty for
armed robbery.
He went to his death quietly
without making a statement. He
was pronounced dead after two
series of electric shocks. He was
the Goth man to die at Eddyville in
the electric chair, which was put
into service in 1901.
Franklin and two companions
got a thermos bottle, a clock and
$1.40 in the robbery for which he
was sent to the electric chair. Two
of his companions were convicted
of holding up an aged night watch
man, ]. c. O'Connor, and beating
him.
His companions pleaded guilty
and were sentenced to life, while
Franklin elected to stand trial and
was sentenced to death. The Ken
lucky Legislature made armed
robbery punishable by death in
1884. Franklin lost an appeal for
a new trial.

MAURY BRILLIANTLY
SUSTAINS ROOSEVELT

Citing the Dred-Scott decision,
Marbury VS.. Madison, and other
cases, H. L. Maury brilliantly de-
Tended President Roosevelt in his
proposal to reorganize the federal
judiciary of the United States,
flayed Senator Burton X. Wheeler
for his antagonism to the Presi-
dents proposal and causticly and
~sarcastically rebuked the Senator
for what Mr.. Maury termed his col
laboration with the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company, at the rally
at the High School Auditorium Sat
urday, May LIST, attended by about
$50 people.
The speaker referred to the
friends and officials of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company and other
powerful and predatory corporations
who had been chosen as speakers at
the commencement exercises of the
School of Mines for the past several
years and especially to Mr.. Cor
nelius Kelly. The inference left was
that Mr.. Wheeler is in the same
class.
Mr.. Fredrickson acted as chair
mar of the meeting and outlined
the origin and purposes of May Day.
Strange as it may seem the birth of
May Day was conferred around a de-
mand for an 8 hour day. The Hay
Market riots in Chicago 81 years ago
were the elimination of the de-
mands at that time.
The national organizations, prede-
cessors to the American Federation
of Labor had already taken steps to
secure an 8 hour day, and this 8 hour
movement was thrown into the lap
of the American Federation of La
Dor after it was formed. Conse-
quently May Day is inextricably
bound up with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Fredrickson
reviewed the conquest of labor dur
ing the past year and pointed out
some of the dangers with which
they are now confronted. MI. Arvo
Fredrickson described the history
and operations of the Workers Ali
ance and the good that it had accom-
plished for the men and women I'M
der the WPA setup. He condemned
the trade union movement for re-
recognition to this group of
people in their Councils.

T0pN0T(H CARD

Two of the outstanding light
weight contenders of the nation,
Jimmy Vaughn, Cleveland, Ohio,
and Wesley Ramey, Grand Rapids,
Mich, headline the American LIE
gion fight card set Monday, May 10,
at the Broadway theater.
In offering Ramey and Vaughn
as main eventers for Butte fight
fans the Legion is providing Mining
City ring enthusiasts with the best
money can purchase in that division
of the pugilistic world.
Both boys are shooting for a
chance at the lightweight crown held
by Lou Ambers, who defends his
championship against Tony CANON
eri, former titleholder, in New York
this week.
Winner of the bout between the
Cleveland flash and Ramey, who is
known as the Michigan Fireball, -
is assured a chance to fight Hubert
kid Dennis here on the next card
and then a crack at the lightweight
championship belt.
Both boys are in eemand through
out the nation. Ramey, in just the
last few months, has fought several
times in Madison Square Garden, N.
Y. Vaughn has been headlining
cards at Hollywood Legion Stadium,
Los Angeles, since turning over his
fight management TO Eddie Meade,
who also handles Henry Armstrong,
the Negro fe~atherweight champion
of California.
Prelims Promising
However, the Monday night card,
is not a one-bout affair. The pre-
liminaries lined up by Matchmaker
Ben Hardin carry plenty of punch.
Of keen interest here is the bout
between Davey Abad, Panama, now
fighting out of Los Angeles, and
Ralph Hooking, Butte. Abad is a
veteran of many battles, packs a
terrific punch and is expected to
give Hooking the supreme test of
that young mans career.

nacio bout promises to be another

geles. McCusker, Bozeman, is Mon

the conducting of the business was

IDAHO FIRM SETTLES

The clerks have settled with the
Nelson and Rich Company of Rex
burg, Idaho. This firm agreed to
have their truck driver sign up with
the Transfers Union. The story is
that the Nelson-Rich Company made
deliveries in Silver Bow County once
a week, of produce, particularly
dairy products, and that the repre-
sentatives sold goods to unfair
stores. There are some other fac
tors connected with this wherein it
was alleged that some of the prod
ucts sold were not union made and
that they were underselling local
merchants. However the %controver-
sy has been settled and the company
promises not to deliver any more
commodities to the stores which
have been declared unfair by the
Clerks organization.
A letter was received from the
Teachers Union about the dismissal

W dlISIlO llllo CGIGlIlOlly.
The legislature in 1888 in an econ
omy act cut the appropriation to
the state institutions so that wages
of teachers and janitors had to be
reduced. The last session of the
legislature increased the appropria-
ton to the University $4,000 and
placed a proviso in the measure to
the effect that none of this addition
al money was to be used to increase
wages; however, the Board of Edu-
cation at its last meeting voted to
increase President Simmons salary
$3.50 a year. The janitors and teach
ers are to get no increase in wages.
At the last election when the con-
stitutional amendment for the short
er work day was voted on the result
of the poll shows that the precincts
around the State College and the
University, where the faculty mem
bers live, cast an overwhelming vote
against the shorter work day amend
ment, especially is this true of the
College precincts in Bozeman.
Considering the conduct of the
majority of the State Board of Edu-
cation towards organized labor and
likewise the hostility against labor
that exists at the Bozeman College
and the University, it might be a
good thing for the delegates at the
coming convention of the Montana
State Federation Of Labor to con-
slider taking ways and means to mi
tiate a measure to reduce the tax
levy for the support of state insti-
tutions. What will the hard boiled
opponents of labor do about that?
Organized labor has the voting
strength in Montana to pass any leg
islation whenever the workers de-
eide to act collectively at the polls.
At the last election labor was or
ganized in only twenty-three coun-
ties in the state. Today labor I'M
ions are in twenty-six counties and
in a very short time labor unions
will be organized in most of the
counties in the state.
Organized labor is on its way and
no state Board of Education or any
College or University president can
stop this onward march Of labor in
Montana.
