FARLEY SLATED
ON MINIMUM
WAGE LAW
Senator King to Talk
With Commissioners
In Few Days

On the strength Of President
Roosevelt's letter on the District
minimum wage law, Senator VIII
liam H. King CD Utah, today
prepared to make a study Of the
law and confer with the District
Commissioners as to their wishes
in the matter.
In his letter to Vice President
Garner and Speaker Bankhead,
the President submitted a report
from the Attorney General, hold
ing the law now in force and said
that he had asked the District
Commissioners to withhold ap-
pointment of the board to admin
lister the act until Congress has
had an opportunity to amend it,
if that was thought necessary.
Senator King said he would
inaugurate amendments only If
the District Commissioners Sug-
gested them at a conference he
expected to hold within the next
few days. He said, however, that
he was definitely opposed to in
Guiding men in the provisions Of
the law which sets up machinery
to standardize minimum wages
for women. He added:
MEN are able to bargain for
themselves. / don't think it
is necessary to include them.
As a matter of fact I have had
communications from a num-
Der of women who do not
favor the law for women, but
it has been decided that some
help must be given the women
and If the Commissioner want
any changes made / will be
willing to follow out their
wishes" ...
At the time the United States
Supreme Court handed down a
decision, which has been inter-
preted as putting the law back
into effect, Senator King in
dictated he thought the meas
ure was vague and should be
strengthened.

ONLY $4,000
AVAILABLE IN
DISTRICT
Commissioners Will
Ask Budget Bureau
For More Funds

Discovery of an error in calcu.
lating the amount of money i'm,
mediately available in the District
treasury for relief of unemployed
employables" today dashed hopes
of thousands of unfortunates in
this classification.
Whipped into action by the in
sistent demands of welfare, social
and church organization for q
broader relief program, the District
Commissioners announced follow
ing meeting yesterday they had
decided to extend a helping hand
to the employables, who have been
barred from relief rolls for more
than year.
$4,000 Available
The Commissioners stated $70,.
900 had been discovered in a re-
serve fund and that, coupled with
$4,000 found in the old transit
relief fund, was available immedi-
ately to aid the employables.
But at later meeting of Audi
tor Daniel J. Donovan, Public Wei
fare Director Elwood Street and
Relief Director M. Alice Hill it was
discovered that instead of $4,000
in the reserve fund, there was only
100000. Street pointed out that
the $4,000 was needed to cover
cost of certifying needy cases and
the $4,000 to be spent at the rate
of $4,000 month will not go far.
10000 Need Aid
Street reminded there are 5000
unemployed employables in ur.
gent need, whose families and de.
pendents bring the number of per-
sons to be aided to 10000.
However. the Commissioners
agreed to ask the Budget Bureau
formally for $4,000 deficiency
appropriation to aid the employ
ables during the remainder of this
fiscal year. which ends June 80,
and to seek an additional $1,000.
900 for this same purpose Of the
District congressional committees,
which now are considering the
Districts 1888 fiscal year supply
bill.

What's Happening
in fhe Unions
Trades and Labor Council Sponsors
PiccadiIly Carnival.

/
Delegates TO the Trades and Labor
Council last Tuesday night went on
record to sponsor Monday evening,
August 9th, as Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council night at the Pic
cadilly Carnival. The action was
taken upon the request of the Butte
Better Boosters Club, which, accord
ing to Jerry Clifford, was organized
last spring for the purpose of build
ing Butte. Mr.. Clifford was chair
man of the Fourth of July parade
arrangement and the success of that
venture is proof Of his ability. The
speaker related that arrangements
had been made with the carnival
owners to give to the city of Butte
a flat guarantee of $1,000.00 and 20
per cent commission had also been
secured on the concessions. The plan
as outlined by Mr.. Clifford provided
that the various organizations in Sill
yer Bow County should sponsor one
night and he desired very much that
the trade union movement give their
cooperation to this plan.
.
The Trades and Labor Council
donated $1,000 to the Workers Ali
ance at its last meeting, following a
visit from Mr.. Fredrickson of that
organization. Mr.. Fredrickson in his
talk to the union, discussed the suf-
fering that had already been caused
from the layoffs of the WPA and
stated that if all of the men and
women to be laid off in August were
deprived of their jobs that much
suffering would entail. The speak
er pleaded for money to help send
a delegate from Butte to Washington
to plead with Congress about a modi-
fication of the rules governing these
layoffs. Some of the delegates ex-
pressed derision about a delegation
Of that kind. It was stated by Mr..
Fredrickson, however, that several
thousand of people would converge
at Washington on the 23rd day Of
August to present the case of the
poor people personally to the govern
ment agencies.
The United States Government is
composed of the citizens of the
United States. The three billion dol
lars that was asked by the Workers
Alliance came up for discussion in
Congress. The selfish, greedy cor
porate senators and congressman
were able to slice it down until it
reached a figure of $1,000, 900, 900,
which is about half enough to take
care of the people. One of the dele
gates remarked that the states whose
senators and congressman opposed
the 3 billion dollar appropriation,
should not receive any of the money.
If these senators and congressman
opposed this appropriation, they must
not have any poor people, but this
would only serve Of course to injure
the poor people and wouldn't hurt
the rich representatives of these folks
in the national capitol. It is too bad
that the common people of the ma
ton can't see these things. They
can't see that they should defeat
these enemies. These men go to
Congress and vote against every
measure that is in the interest Of
the common people and still the
common people return them again
and again. It doesn't seem nossihle.
