RATE HEARING HAS
HUMOROUS ASPECTS
Continued From Page y


from the Miners union asked the
high and mighty officials of the Ana
conda Company some rather embar-
RAISING questions, one of which was
How much did the Anaconda Min
ing Company pay for the Clark pro-
perties in 1928? After several at
tempts to apparently evade the ques-
ton, Mr.. Fraser finally admitted be-
tween five and six million dollars.
It had formerly been stated that the
valuation placed on the Butte Elec-
trio Railway Company was $2,200,-
900 which of course was all out of
proportion to the amount paid by the
company for the vast Clark holdings.
The questioner from the Miners I'M
ion was trying to bring out that the
depreciation on a valuation of ST.
900, 600, must have occasioned the
loss, alleged by the Butte Electric
Railway Company in its operation.
Further evidence seemed to prove
that the company had actually lost
nearly u million dollars in cold
cash and not in any book manipula-
ton. The afternoon session was
largely devoted to the petition of the
new bus company for a certificate
to operate buses. The same COM
mittee from the Miners union want
ed some assurance that ample SER
vice would be rendered the miners.
One of the members of this commit
tee, after Mr.. Mills, one of the Of
ficers of the new company, had testi-
fled that he expected to make a pro-
fit out of the operation, reminded
the Board and the witnesses that if
they could make a profit SO could the
city if the bus lines were municip-
ally owned. It was an interesting
session and a historical session.
The passing of the street car seems
inevitable. Undoubtedly buses can
operate more speedily than street
cars and that is something that the
people seem to want. In a recent
edition of the Eye Opener in an arti-
Gle written by the Mayor, he refers
to the abandonment of the Street
Railway system as a measure of pro
gress. He also in the same article,
made some rather vague assurances
that the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company would take care of the sup
e%rannuated street car employees.
Where he received the assurances or
how much reliance can be placed on
them is a matter of conjecture. The
advent of gas in this community was
not marked by any signs of cheering
by Mr.. Hauswirth, yet it was a mea-
sure of progress. 1t too threw many
men out of employment, but appar-
emily progress is only to be measur-
ed where it has no i'll effects on ones
pocket book. It is safe to say that
from SO to rs people will be thrown
out of employment or will have to
seek other types of employment in
an already o~ver-crowded industrial
market by the change from street
cars to BUSES. We seem to pay |
for progress. Speed, and machinery
give some luxuries, many pow
erty, and others millions in profits.

Manager for this concern in Kalis-
pell tells the men that if they want
to join the Union it is entirely sat
isfactory with him, BUT it is a sig
nificant fact that one of their oldest
drivers, who helped the Transfers
Business Agent interview the night
shift, was soon after TEMPORAR-
lily laid off and at the latest report
has not gone back to work - a new
non-union mar is temporarily" TAX
ing his place. There is a Local of
the international Brotherhood Of
Transfers, Chauffeurs, Stablemen
and Helpers in Kalispell, and being
a new local, and feeling that con-
ditions there do not justify too high
a scale to start with, they have set a
scale of SIXTY CENTS PER HOUR
for dump trucks hauling three cubic
yards or less - (the ore trucks men
toned come under this rating) - 1t
is reported from the Kalispell Local
that they do not know of any other
dump truck operators in the vicinity
who are paying less than this scale
l. (even the small "gypo" gravel
haulers have agreed to meet the
scale) - and yet this large concern,
whose trucks are operating two shifts
a day, cannot afford to meet it, &C
cording to their claims. When ap-
preached on the subject of a Union
Contract by P. J. Connors, Business
Agent of the Butte Teamstefs', the
Manager of this oncern stated that
they could not pay more unless the
A. c. M. Co. would pay them more.
They very generously" offered to
raise their drivers wages PROVID-
ED the A. c. M. would give them a
raise in tonnage, but it is to be Won
dered if the raise in tonnage asked
for was only the same as the amount
of money which would be paid to
these drivers should this Company
meet Union rules and regulations.
IN OTHER WORDS, they would
gladly pay these men a LIVING
WAGE PROVIDED someone else
would pay it for them, but as for
disgorging any of their own illgot-
ten gains, they could not possibly
consider that. This concern is run
ming a Union job in Missoula and
meeting any and all Union conditions
but of course there are strong, old
time Unions there. They apparen-
thy feel that the Unions in Kalis-
pell are not strong enough to en-
force their demands therefore
why pay any attention to them? 1t
has been said that it is a long road
that has nc turning, and the time
may come when the Kalispell I'm
ions will be in a position to enforce
their demands, in which case it is not
probable they will be so reasonable
with a firm who is SO consistently I'M
friendly toward them in their in
fancy.

1t is hoped that this action of the
Trades and Labor Council will be
the means of bringing all the in
dependent butchers and shops into
the International union.
The Trades and Labor Council had
a very quiet session at its last meet
ing. There were only a few minor
reports from committees.
Both Senator Murray and Senator
Wheeler wrote in reference to John
Holland. Mr.. Holland has been re
commended for the position of one
OF the Commissioners of Montana un-
DER the Guffey- Vinson Coal Act. The
unions are quite interested in his
appointment.
Not so very long ago the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council "a
dopted a resolution %favoring the
Ludlow War Referendum. This is
a resolution that was presented in
the national House which would re-
quire a referendum of all the peo-
pie before war could be declared. 1t
hasn't reached the Senate yet, in fact
it wasn't even out of committee in
the House. 1t probably will be tax
en- up at the next session of Con-
gress.
Paul Erler representing the print

Mr.. Martin of Great Falls, delegate
of the Cascade Trades and Labor
Council commissioned to appear be-
fore the Rivers and Harbors Com

A joint meeting of the Bakers un-
ion of Butte, the bakers of Great
Falls, the Grievance Committee of
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor

Trades and Labor Council was held
last Wednesday.
From the results of that meeting
it is presumed according to Mr..

between the Eddy Baking Company
and the bakers of Great Falls will
soon be settled. Another meeting

A definite program of forest con-
Servation to be undertaken by pub
Lie and private agencies was put
under way here today as the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION brought to close its
five-day conclave.
Specific recommendations to be
presented to both Federal and
State governments and private in
dustrieS for the advancement of
forest conservation were prepared
in general session at the United
States Chamber of Commerce Of
fices and will be submitted to the
executive committee of the asso-
citation tomorrow for final ap-
proval.
Part Of tie general program,
which was approved today prior
to action on the individual recon-
mendationS, placed the bulk of re-
sponsibilites for forest conServa-
ton on private enterprises rather
than on Federal and State govern
mentS.
Lumber leaders emphasized the
importance of keeping fire out

minute skirmish in her automobile
Two fellow policemen testified
Mrs. SAKE referred to AL police

SAKE, who is petite and pretty
said she said no such things ano

cause she failed to sign her permit
According to Policeman Gravely
he was driving a patrol car across
the bridge on the afternoon OF
March 81. when Mrs. SAKE drove
up behind him, blew her horn
few times and sped past him after
he had moved over. AS she went
past, the policeman said, she
leaned from her window and
yelled something about Congress
investigating us policemen.
Gravely said he gave chase and
pulled her to the curb at the Vir-
GINA end of the bridge where she
asked him:
Does driving a police car
give you the right to poke
along in the middle of a bridge
and obstruct traffic?"
Gravely said he asked to see her
permit and was handed her rig
istration card and told him he
was big bum" He then
turned his scout car over to his
two fellow policemen, climbed
into the rear of the SAKE car and
directed his prisoner to drive him
to the Fourth Precinct station
house.
Shut Off Motor
Instead, she headed toward the
Memorial Highway and Virginia,
his story went. He directed her
to turn left, he said, and she said
she wouldn't because a sign at
that point said mo Left Turn"
He directed her to ride up the
road a bit and turn around and
she said she wouldn't do that,

fled, whereupon he leaned over
and shut off the motor.

3 Trials i'm . Courts
Play Woman Even

With the car stopped, Police
man Gravely said, he grabbed
both of Mrs. Saxe's wrists and
dragged her into the rear seat
beside him while she. cried and
told him he was "a bigger bum
than ever"
At this point, Sergt. C. c. Gould.
man, who had been following in
the patrol car, ran up and broke
up the struggle, telling Gravely
to drive himself and Mrs. SAKE
to the station house. Mrs. SAKE
sat in the rear seat with Sergeant
Gouldman, who told Judge Nc
Mahon:
"The lady said l was a gentle
man, but that he (Gravely) was
a bum."
At the Fourth Precinct, the
desk sergeant asked her "all kinds
of questions" told her she was
charged with speeding, failure to
sign her permit and assault, and
given permission to telephone her
husband, Alexander T. SAKE, who
is at present on leave from Colum-
bia University and doing some
technical work for the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
Evidence Submitted
Fourth Precinct Capt. jeremiah
Sullivan, who was an interested
spectator at both trials, helped Mr..
SAKE soothe his wife's feelings, &C
cording to Policeman Gravely,
who brought to the witness box
his badge with its bent pin, his
coat with a hole where he said
the badge had been. and both OF
the thumbs he said Mrs. SAKE had
scratched IN the scuffle.
Mrs. SAKE, in a quiet but firm
voice categorically denied Grave
ly's testimony as to the assault,
charging the policeman "smacked
me in the back of the neck, turned
off my ignition and pulled the
emergency brake"
In a 15-minute summation,
Judge Mcmahon said the conflict
of the four sets of testimony left
him with a reasonable doubt" as
to just what did occur in Mrs.
Saxe's Pierce Arrow and he dis
missed the case, ordering the de-
PENDANTS $25 collateral returned
to her.
Mr.. SAKE, who sat beside his wife
during the trials, said he would

Madrid Resumes Offensive
But Insurgents Deny Gains
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

SSN "'SS' . S'
BY THOMAS A. LOAYZA
MADRID, April 9 UN.S0
Adding heaps of dead to those
long buried, loyalist battalionS in
a new offensive northwest OF
Madrid today battled their way
through the tombstoneS Of the
old La Capilla cemetery.
Young men were hurled into
graves fresh-dug by artillery
blasts, while collins of those in
tered decades ago were blasted
high in the air.
For the first time since Italian
fnsurgent troops were routed be-
low Guadalajara three week ago,
loyalist armies took the offensive
today on the Madrid front.
Moving out of the University
City sector, the leftistS drove amid
laundering artillery fire across
the cemetery toward FL Pardo, on
the north, and Case de Campo
just across the Manzanates river
west of the capital.
Seen From HOuSetOpS
Another offensive was opened
simultaneously on the opposite
side of Madrid, striking at the
inSurgent line near Carabanchel.
Clearly heard from the center
of Madrid, the battles began at
5 a. m. and continued ceaSeleSSly
most of the day. Hundreds stood
on top of the capitals high build
ings, watching the puffs Of smoke
in a great semi-circle to the north
west.
Airplanes began the assault at
dawn, dropping bombs on Monte
Garsitas, the peak from which in
surgent big guns have been she'll
ing Madrid internationally for
weeks. Explosions of bombs and
shells were accompanied by the
rattle of machine guns and rifles,
while spectators we're treated" to
several aerial dog-fights.
Denied by Insurgents
Enthusiastic loyalist claims that
the insurgent advance on Bilbao
had been halted, and that the left
lists continued their forward move
ment on the heels of routed Italo-
German forces on the Cordoba
front were denied, however, by the
insurrectos.
Five hundred loyalists, accord
ing to a communique issued at
rebel Salamanca, we're killed in
the battle for Penarroya, near Cor
doba.
Madrid's reports of insurgent
reverses on the northern front
were branded as entirely false"
by Salamanca.
The loyalist attacks on the
Madrid sectors failed" the com
nunioue asserted. No reverses on
the Cordoba line were mentioned

Is Your Danger Signal

A cough, chest cold or bronchial

trouble tomorrow. You can relieve
them now with CreomuISion, an

inflammation as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Medical authorities have for
many years recognized the wonder
ful effects Of Beechwood Creosote
for treating coughs, chest colds and
bronchial 1rritations. A chemist
worked out a special process of
blending Creosote with other in
