.WpA TRUCK DRIVERS
CITY GARBAGE WORK.
CLOSING BUTTE M!NE5I
Saving in Cost to WPA, City of
Butte, and Anaconda Company
Will Result in Additional Re-
lief Expense.

On November 9Th the Transfers
Union met in their hall and discussed
several matters affecting the welfare
of the members.
First, a conference was held with
Mr.. Gene Burris protesting the lay
ing off Of men operating their own
trucks on WPA work and substi-
tuting men on the relief rolls driving
city-owned trucks used during the
summer in street oiling work. This
ruling has worked a great hardship
on those who have been able to keep
off relief by the use of their own
trucks. It was pointed out that the
temporary saving which might be
made by using city trucks is more
than likely to be offset by an in
crease of the number of men forced
to apply for relief.
Second, the garbage contract sys-
tenn of the city of Butte was criti-
cized by members of the Transfers
Union. Here again, the saving of
expense to the city by contracting
this work instead of hiring men by
the day is overbalanced by unem-
ployment and additional load on the
people for relief expenditures.
Third, the serious situation result
ing from the closing of several mines
in Butte, throwing 1900 men out of
work a few weeks before Christmas,
vas presented before the meeting.
Santa Claus will pass up many a
little chap who has been yearning
for a new sled or a carpenters tool
kit. Still again, the saving of cost
to the Anaconda Company by the
lay-off will certainly involve a
heavier relief expense to the COM
munity. The opinion was expressed
by a number of the speakers that
the extra cost of this relief as a direct
consequence of the shutdown was a
proper expense to be borne by the
Anaconda Company.

please state the reaso for this loss
of fish.
Bernard King
Information has now been received
from a reliable source that on No
vember 18th, 1887, the Fish and
Game Commission agreed to amend
the extract of the minutes of Octo-
Der 18th to read @sock-eye salmon
1t matters not whether the min
utes were amended to read sock
eye salmon eggs or "wall-eyed pike
eggs" the fact remains that the min
utes as originally written gave to
the Superintendent of Fisheries
authority to sell eggs of any species,
if he thought he had a surplus on
hand.
At a meeting of the Butte Anglers
Club during the Spring of 1885 it
was moved and carried, that petit
tons be circulated requesting the
Fish and Game Commission to send
a supply of loch leven eggs to the
Maiden Rock hatchery. These petit
tons were circulated and duly pre-
scented, only to find their way into
the same receptacle as the suppliea-
ton which was sent to Helena last
winter in regard to ice fishing on
Georgetown Lake, but the sports
mems prayer was not in vain, we
have been told through the columns
of the Montana Standard" a few
days ago that loch leven are coming
to the Big Hole.
The present Fish and Came Com
mission is going to allow ice fishing
on Georgetown Lake this Winter.

Workers Alliance Asks
President Investigate
Butte Mines LaYoffs

Reprinted from the Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, D. CA charge
that the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company ana other industrial corp
orations are deliberately attempting
to precipitate a depression was made
by the Workers Alliance of America
today.
In a telegram to President Roose-
welt, Herbert Benjamin, general sec
retary-treasurer of the Alliance,
called for an investigation of the
layoffs ordered by the Anaconda and
other large corporations.
Benjamin further urged that en-
ployment on public works projects
be Immediately provided for the dis
missed workers and that the bill for
the cost of such public works be sent
to the industrial corporations in the
form of additional taxation of high
incomes and profits.
The telegram to the President
read.
Workers Alliance of America,
representing unemployed of nation,
asks you that you institute immedi-
ate investigation Of action by Ana
conda Mining Company, which de-
prived 1,500 of its workers of their
jobs for obvious political reasons.
six thousand men and women are
directly affected by this layoff which
representatives of the company state
is occasioned by the uncertainty
about what the special session and
Roosevelt are going to do
1--WE consider this layoff to be part
of a conspiracy of industrial tycoons
to precipitate economically unwar
ranted depression as part of an at
tempt to defeat necessary labor and
farm legislation.
we urge that victims of all such
layoffs be Immediately provided
with employment on public works
SO that they and their families may
not suffer hunger and want.
I'VE urge expansion of the Works
Program and other relief activities
to the extent necessary to obviate
hardships for workers and further
diminishment of purchasing power
and consequent threat of depression.
IF such economic royalists as Ana
conda, which made $780, 00, 900 net
profit during the first six months of
this year, and Con Kelley, president
Of this company, who receives $751;
900 annual salary, want to add to
government relief burden by depriv-
ing willing workers of g~ainful en-
ployment, the government should
provide employment, maintain pur-
chasing power, thereby, and send the
bill to these enemies of the people in
the form of additional taxation on
their high profits and incomes"

UNFAIR PRACTICES ACT
GIVEN A SEVERE JOLT.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to use the
Unfair Practices act as a jimmy to
raise and establish high prices on the
necessities of life have been given a
severe jolt by the action of the Pub
lie Service commission, administrator
of the law, as a Fair Trades Commits
sion.
Attorney John Bonner for the
commission, in conference with vari-
III associations and groups of re-
tailers throughout Montana, has
established definitely that the new
law cannot be used to jump prices
n cent above the actual cost of
the goods sold.
The last legislature wrote the law
to curb the use of sales leaders by
mercantile establishments. These
leaders" were priced below actual
cost, and below competitors, to at
tract patronage. Attorney Bonner
pointed out that it is obvious that
where such leaders are used, the
merchant expects to make up his
loss on them by overcharging on
other items. The law prohibits the
sale of any article below actual cost.
Recently a number of merchant
groups have sought to use the law
as a price fixing medium. This is
not the purpose of the act, Bonner
says. 1t cannot be invoked to guar
antee a single penny of profit to any
merchant. However, where mer-
chants have established the cost of
doing business in a community, they
can bring action against any firm or
individual that sells an article below
this established cost and it is the
burden of the accused offender to
prove that the merchants figures
are wrong.
Attorney Bonner pointed out that
there is a Fair Trade act which per-
mits the owners of copyrighted
articles to compel their sale at an
established, advertised price. This
price cannot be lowered if the copy
right owner objects.
Also on the statute books since
1921, but never enforced, is a law
forbidding the purchase of commodi-
ties or goods at a higher figure than
the established market, to protect
elevator owners and others from be-
ing frozen out" by offering an extra
i%nducement to customers. The pres
ent Unfair Practices act is a duplicate
of an act passed in 1921, but which
also has never been enforced by the
Public Service commissioners here
tofore.
The commission members are Hor-
ace Casey, Tom Carey, and E. B.
Krebsbach.

THE CONSTITUTION IS A HUMAN DOCUMENT

If we Americans could get over our national habit of speaking only in reyerent whispers whenever the Constitution is mentioned, we might be able to approach our political problems more realistically and sen sibly.
 We have been discussing the Con- stitution lately, and we have been calling on the shades of the great presidents in our history to witness that this document is a sacred thing not to be spoken of lightly or ap- preached without the most profound awe.
 I It might therefore be good to have a look at the way some of the great presidents behaved when circum- stances compelled them to walk up and lay hands on the Constitution. Henry W. Lawrence, professor Of history and political science at Con necticut College recently wrote a summary of the way Abraham Btn- coin got the 18th Amendment into the Constitution.
 This was the amendment that for ever eutlawed chattel slavery. Lin coin started it through during the l Civil war. There were at that time 35 states in the American Union, in- cluding those which were then en- rolled in the Southern Confectionery. Approval of 27 states was necessary if the amendment were to be approv- ed.
 How did Lincoln accomplish his end? By laying aside all his rever- ence for the sacred document, talk ing off his gloves, and playing the ancient game of politics for all It was worth.
 The simple fact was that there were not, at that moment, 27 states which could be counted on to ap- prove the amendment. So the mili- tary governors of those seeding states which had been occupied by federal armies were put to work They applied pressure at the points of their soldiers bayonets, and from these still unreconstructed states came the notifications Lincoln need ed.
 Lincoln had another trick in his

or is declared to be a public nuisance or a fire trap. Wrangell has a mum Der of these buildings but nothing is done about 1t.
 l. IS time the people wake up aud realize the fire traps and hazards that exist in Wrangell and not stop there but to see that something Is done to get rid of these beiore d M.Jor ire destroys a section of our town.
 Each and every citizen can help do his part in fire prevention by seeing that his own property is in Al shape and by being careful and ordering his tenants to be careful
 The city of Wrangell can do it's part by enforcing Building Ordin- anee 50 which will do away with many hazards-most of which can be remedied by a few hours work or a little money.
 Wrangell is fortunate in having a volunteer Fire Department that has done and is doing excellent work BUT we cant ask these men to risk their lives to save our property If we don't take a few simple precau- tions ourselves, can we?
 When the Building Ordinance was passed in 1925, citizens were ordered to comply with the new reg ulations. 4 few conscientious ones did-the rest did not and have not yet compiled.
 Why spend time preparing a fine ordinance and then forget all a5out it? If it is important enough to be passed as an ordinance IT SHOULD BE ENFORCED, and not against a few but against all. If it is not inn portant it should be TAKEN OFF THE STATUTE BOOKS of the city, and we should not continue to clut- ter up the law books with ordinan- ces that are not enforced.
 Wrangell has been very fortunate not to have had more disastrous fires, but We can't be lucky forever. Give this fire prevention wour earn est attention and let's make Wran- gelI a town safe" rather than a town lucky"

HALIBUT REGULATIONS NOW IN ERECT

The regulations of the nterna- tional Fisheries Commission adopted pursuant 10 the Pacific HalIlug rIsnery Convention have been re- eeiYed by the U. s. Customs Officer in Wrangell and each Halibut fish erman should acquaint himself with these regulations under which he will now fish. Some of the import and items of the regulations are printed herewith to enable all to get a general knowledge of the reg ulations.
 Sec. 3 a1 All vessels of five tons net or over which shall fish hali- but with set lines or bottom nets or travis and all vessels which shall fish for halibut in any manner and which will transport the same from one area and defined by these reg. ulations to another area for land- ing or for sale, must be licensed by the International Fisheries Commis- sion prior to such fishing operations This license shall be issued with out fee by the customs officers of either Government or by the International Fisheries Commission representa- tiyes, and each such vessel shall at all times carry this license which shall be subject to inspection at all times by authorized offers of eith- CT Government.
 See. 8 (b) License shall be yold if not validated before departure is allowed from the port of last clear ance prior to each fishing operation for which statistical returns are re- quired, and such validation shall he by customs officers and shall show that the provisions of Section 3 Gel and (d) have been complied with for all landings and all fishing op- erations since issue of the license or last validation. The area or areas to be cleared for subsequent to each validation must be entered on the

wallet. He had the territory of Ne vada admitted as a state so that it could vote for ratification. Nevada had an absurdly small population, and getting Congress to approve its admission was a tough job-so tough that Lincoln, needing every vote he could get, finally authorized the as- sistant secretary of war, Charles A. Dana, to go to three Democratic con gressmen and promise them any thing they wanted if they would vote for the measure.
 As Professor Lawrence points out. this stratagem worked The three congressman named the appoint ments they wanted, Lincoln okaye l them-and Nevada was admitted to the Union. Before Lincoln's death, the new state had ratified the pend ing 18th amendment.
 This sort of thing is worth bear ing in mind. If we can just realize that the constitution as it stands is only another law-and as such is a product of human errors, political deals, and plain, everyday expedi- ency-we may be able to discuss it intelligently instead of emotionally.
