SQUASH SENATE BILL II
WORKERS ALLIANCE
PROTESTS REDUCTION

Generous contributions from many
Butte organizations, unions, business
houses and individuals enabled the
Butte Workers Alliance to send Ell
mer Fredrickson, n Of its officers,
to Washington, D. c., where a mass
delegation of Alliance members and
supporters gathered January 18th to
present demands for increased APP
preparations for an expansion of
WPA, a 20 per cent increase in WPA
wages and improved job conditions.
According to information received
here an impressive well organized
demonstration was held with over
5000 present. The workers paraded
to the White House, then past the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce build
ing and finally to the Capitol build
ing where a committee of eleven pre-
sented demands to President Roose-
welt through his secretary. Chief
demands of the Alliance were a
minimum deficiency relief appropri-
alton of $1,040, 600 from Feb. l to
July l, reinstatement of discharged
WPA workers, expansion of WPA
and the 20 per cent increase in
wages. Another demand raised was
for resembling of Administration Or
der A requiring workers to stay on
jobs in severe weather. A criminal
situation is resulting from this ruling
since workers with grippe and in
fluenza are forced to report to work
daily or are penalized their days
wages.
A liberal bloc of congressman,
headed by Gerald Boileau, Wisconsin
progressive, greeted the demonstra-
tors and endorsed their demands.
Spokesman of the Alliance received
their promise to do everything pos
sible for them.
The local Workers Alliance is at
present organizing to defeat a wage
cut given women on Sewing Prof.
ects. For some reason their work
has Deconeaun1Tilled over night and
wages cut from $4,000 to $3.50.

LEGISLATURE AND
SENATORS SHOULD
VOTE AGAINST IT
Senator Harry Myers of Silver
Bow Attacked the Bill in SEN
ate.

A very pernicious bill has been in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Foor of Wolf Point, Roosevelt Coun-
ty. This measure provides that in
case a number of men are arrested
for any crime, they shall not be tried
separately but all jointly.
The Federation Of Labor describes
it as one of the most vicious mea-
sures yet introduced. In Analysing
the result that would ensue to labor
should this measure pass and be
signed by the Governor, it was
brought out by the Federation Presi-
dent, and others that in the event of
a strike or mass picketing or any
disturbance involving labor, that all
the union men and sympathizers in
the crowd could be arrested and that
one trial would serve for the whole
number. 1t is easy to visualize, ac-
cording to labor interpreters, what
disastrous consequences would en-
tail from such an event. Just sup
pose that some irresponsible individ-
ual committed a crime in a situation
of this kind, fired a shot, or COM
mitted some other violation of the
law, everyone that was in the group
could be tried for that offense. Sup
pose for example, that a strike had
taken place and bitterness had de-
veloped between the employer and
the employees, and the employer, in
order to gain his ends, instigated the
commitment of a crime in order to
punish the unions; just imagine what
frightful consequences would result
to the working people. Senator Har-
ry Meyers is deserving the grateful
appreciation of organized labor of
the state of Montana for vigorously
fighting the bill on the floor of the
Senate last Wednesday. This mea-
sure passed the Committee of the
Whole Wednesday, and goes to the
Senate for third reading today.
Every trade union, farm union,
and all other organizations and in
dividuals who have the best inter
ests of the working people at heart
should Immediately notify their Rep
resentatives and Senators to down
this bill.
1t has often been said that labor
is death on its enemies but never
very kind to its friends; be that as
it may, the senators and represent
atives who vote for this bill will be
tabulated on the records and on the
memories of organized labor until
Gabriel blows his horn.

Members Of Congress Praise Labor for Help
In Making Birthday Ball Outstanding Success

WASHINGTON, d. c. (ILNS).-
Senators and Representatives joined
enthusiastically this week in compli-
menting organized labor upon its
part in eliminating infantile paraly-
sis through support of the Birthday
Ball for the President.
The response of Congress to the
Birthday Ball has been similar in
universally to the response of the
governors of 48 states and the terri
tories of Hawaii and Alaska in ac-
cepting honorary chairmanships for
the Ball on January 80.
Members of Congress from Geor-
gia, who are personally familiar with
the work being done at the Georgia
Warm Springs Foundation are par
ticularly enthusiastic.
mo Finer Undertaking"
81 am in position to say without
reservation that there is no finer
undertaking in existence within our
country" writes Representative Rob-
ert Ramspeck, of Georgia, to Gilbert
E. Hyatt, executive secretary Of the
Labor Division of the Birthday Ball
for the President.
Representative Stephen Pace, who
lives about rs miles from Warm
Springs and who wishes he had "the
vocabulary to touch the heart of
every American" writes:
"In all of the great work the Presi-
dent has done and is doing for the
unfortunate there is no undertaking
that can mean more to those who are
now and will hereafter be victims of
that dreaded scourge of childhood,
infantile paralysis, than the move
ment to provide additional funds for
the Warm Springs Foundation.
wish it was possible for every Amer
lean to visit Warm Springs and see
the great work being done there. !
know it will make January 30 a
happy day for oar President if those
who now enjoy the blessings of good
health and strong bodies show their

appreciation by joining wholeheart-
eddy in the campaign to obtain addi-
tional funds"
Labor Led in Memphis
AS chairman of the first Birthday
Ball in Memphis, Tenn, Representa-
tive Walter Chandler writes of the
success of that first effort and of the
great privilege of participating in it.
Incidentally" he adds, 1--WE had a
great grand march to open the Mem
phis Party of 1884, and the proud
banners of all the labor organizations
in Memphis were carried high and in
the forefront of the march and or
ganized labor took a leading part in
the festivities"
'In my home town of Marlin, Tex
as" says Senator Tom Connally, 1--WE
have an institution devoted to the
cure and prevention of infantile
paralysis, and it is my information
that the work has been forwarded
and helped by the crusade put on
by the National Committee for the
Birthday Ball for the President. The
high percentage of the funds secured
from the balls remaining in the local
communities is an inspiration to
those communities to do all in their
power to secure community support"
Labor Congratulated
In New Mexico a Crippled Chill
dren's Hospital has been erected as
the -4sult of interest in ~infantile pa
ralysis aroused by the Birthday Ball
for the President. In commenting on
this, Senator Hatch says: ut is an
institution which contains the very
best and latest equipment known to
science. Organized labor is to be
congratulated on its active interest in
the elimination of infantile paraly-
Sis"
Women are particularly eager to
promote the work at Warm Springs.

UNIONS HOLD FORTH
IN GLAD FESTIVAL

The social party held by the
Trades and Labor Council last Tues
day will long be remembered as one
OF the most pleasant events held by
that body since its institution. Com
mencing with an announcement by
Master of Ceremonies, Bill Palmer,
at about 8;45 in the evening and
continuing then until 1920 not a
moment elapsed that wasn't packed
with fun and music, singing and
good humor.
First before going on with the de-
scription of what took place. the
Montana Labor News in behalf of
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council and affiliated unions wish
publicly to thank everyone who con-
tributed musical selections, singing,
dancing, and in the furnishing of
refreshments to the gathering.
About $50 people we're present in
Guiding quite a number Of children
and visiting guests. The program
started out with Dorothy Harrington
at the piano, playing and singing
several popular blues songs. She was
introduced by Palmer as a premier
blues singer and lived up to her
reputation.
Paul Erler next gave some delight
full Hebrew characterizations. He is
a past master at this type of enter
tainment, his act being both natural
and witty. Frank Heffron, the not
ed accordion player, who is always
in demand, was the next feature. He
was followed by Master Bobby Dor
an and Irene Duckhan in several
dance and song selections. Nothing
is so attractive as the grace and nat
uralness of children. These little
folks we're accompanied on the piano
by Mrs. Harrington. They are the
pupils of Frances Stevens.
One event that attracted the I'M
ionists was the singing of Mike
Nichols. He sang asleep in the
Deep" and it was good. Frank Hef-
from accompanied on the piano. A
number of trumpet and piano selec-
tons were rendered by William and
Francis Reach. These boys showed
musical talent in the highest degree
Mary Lou Connors played and sang
at the piano. She was introduced
by Palmer as the Little Sweetheart
Everybody in the hall seemed to
hold the same sentiment. Rolmar
and Nichols were next on the pro-
gram with a couple of old time Ger.
man songs. Mrs. Harrington also
played for them. Everyone seemed
to be in a singing mood so the master
of ceremonies announced that the

Como nation Of the
N Jana Power 10.
To the Honorable Members of the
Twenty-fifth Legislative Assem-
bly,, State of Montana.

Greetings;
WHEREAS, a public utility accepts
a responsibility to supply adequate
ly the needs of its users, and due to
the lack of foresight the Montana
Power Co. has signally failed to pro-
vide sufficient power facilities to
permit continued operation of the
zinc plant of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company at Great Falls, thus
depriving hundreds of men of their
means of livelihood and possibly en-
failing curtailment of Butte and
Anaconda operations as well, de-
priving the A. G. M. Company and
American industry of metal products
now SO much in demand, and
WHEREAS, the Federal govern
ment has a power line to supply
power from Great Falls to the Fort
Peck dam, which line could be used
to transmit adequate power from
that project when developed, and
WHEREAS, several years ago the
Montana Power Company abruptly
halted operations on a project at
Poison, Montana, ruthlessly ignoring
social responsibility and causing
great hardship to men and commu-
mites, claiming at that time that
properties along the Missouri river
would prove adequate for all power
demands or many years to come, and
whereas this has proved false, and
WHEREAS, high rates and power
shortage have curtailed the posi-
bility of more extensive use of cleo
trical appliances and power in home,
industry, and agriculture, and a
greater supply would permit broader
use, increased industrial develop
ment and increased employment. and
WHEREAS, the Montana Power
Company has presumed to influence
the political government Of this COM
monwealth to the detriment of COM
munity interest and has not shown
corresponding social responsibility
which would further the agricultural
and industrial Development and con-
~servation of natural resources of this
state,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
that the Cascade Trades and Labor
Assembly memorabilia President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Senators B..
K. Wheeler and James E. Murray,
Congressman James F. O'Connor and
Jerry ]. O'Connell, Gov. Roy E.
Ayers, the State Senate and the State
House of Representatives to press
immediate development of power
facilities at Fort Peck or other suit
able Montana sites,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that copies of this resolution be sent
to Trades and Labor Assemblies in
Montana, the Railroad Br~otherhoods
and the Montana Farmers Union.

UNIONS CONDEMN
ACT TO BOOST
GAME LICENSES

Expressions of condemnation were
rampant in the Trades and Labor
Council Tuesday night over the pro-
posal to increase the cost of game
licenses to sportsmen in Montana. At
the present time the licenses are
$500 for small and feathered game
and an additional dollar for duck
shooting and another additional dol
lar for big game hunting, making a
total cost of $500 under the present
game laws. The licenses will be
$500 for small and feathered game,
$500 for fishing, $500 for big game
hunting, and $1.00 for duck shooting.
making a total of $500, if the new
plan is adopted. Besides this, there
is a special charge for mountain
sheep, goats, antelopes and other
rather scarce wild animals. There
wasn't a great deal of objection to
the extra fee tackled on for shooting
these rare animals but in the matter
of the small and more profuse fish
and small game, the cutlery was gen
eral and vociferous. AS pictured by
Moore of the Musicians, the Fish
and Game Commission apparently
wants to make the state of Montana
a millionaire's hunting preserve.
The Trades and Labor Council
went officially on record as opposing
the increase. What the unions can't
understand in the matter is whv
Montana with its abundant water
supply, capable of supporting I'M
limited game, fish and its wide
mountainous areas providing a nat
ural habitat or all kinds of big game,
should be shouldered with this huge
tax.
A recent issue of Field and Stream
published the cost of game licenses
in every state of the union and if
this proposed charge is carried out,
Montana will lead every state in the
unoin in the cost of hunting game.
| Simmons of the Musicians pointed
out that the unions have always been
in accord in condemning a wanton
slaughter OF wild animal life. The
individual union members are
staunchly in favor of conservation.
| Some incidents had been brought to
the attention Of the union head
quarters particularly relating to win
ter night fishing in Georgetown lake.
In one or two of these incidents it
was mentioned that individuals have
gone out to the lake and brought
home washtubs full of trout. How
ever, these incidents are are and
everyone becomes aroused at these
depredations. There should be some
balance to effect what the Fish and
Game Commission desires but the
distractions complained of here are
not any worse than the measures
that are contained in the increased
taxes. One is as bad as the other.
In one, the game injured, and on the
other hand the poor people are in
jured.
