Under the caption of What's Doing
in the Unions, the Montana Labor
News inadvertently stated that the
Miles City unions were opposing the
Presidents judicial reforms. The
letter to the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council from Miles City
stated plainly that they were favor
ing the Presidents plan, and the
statement to the contrary is really
objectionable.
Miles City not only went on record
to support President Roosevelt but
is asking all of the rest of the unions
to do likewise.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The con-
stitutionality of the National Labor
Relations Act was strongly upheld
in a brief filed by the Government
with the Supreme Court of the
United States sustaining the action of
the National Labor Relations Board
in ordering the New York office of
the Associated Press to re-instate in
employment Morris Watson, a mem
Der of the American Newspaper
Guild, whom the board, after a full
hearing, found was discharged be-
cause of his union activities and in
violation of the unfair labor practice
stipulations of the Act.
The Associated Press appealed the
Boards decision to the Federal Dis
trict Court in New York City, on the
ground that the Wagner Act and
hence the order of the Board was
constitutional. The Federal District
Court sustained the action of the
Board and upheld the constitutional
ity of the Act.
The Associated Press then APP
pealed the case to the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Second Jul
dicial Circuit, which affirmed the
action of the District Court and like
wise upheld the constitutionality of
the Act. From the Appeals Court
decision the Associated Press ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the

COAL MINERS OFFER
RESOLUTION TO AID
WpA WAGE SCALE
Billings, Mont.
March %, 1897.

IioiSiA Nos Atcfs
The conditions of labor in Montana
insofar as the WPA has improved
to the extent that the prevailing
wages are paid all over the state of
Montana.
Due to the friendly attitude of
Joseph E. Parker, State Administra-
tor, Eugene c. Burris, Director of
Labor Relations, James Combo, Di-
rector District Number 4, L. G.. De-
mayer, Director District No. 2, Bruce
Stimetz, Director District No. 3, Ed
win Duncan, Labor Relation of
Butte, Joe Bosone of Billings, con-
ditions and rate of pay were adjusted
what they are today.
The following resolution will be
appropriate because there is a move
to reduce the present standard in
the state of Montana:
Whereas the present scale of wages
put into effect under the admins
tration of Jospeh E. Parker and Eu-
gene c. Burris, WPA is in conform
ity with the expressed attitude OF
President Roosevelt.
And whereas we feel that reducing
the present wage would bring about
criticism and strife in the state oil
Montana,
Therefore be it resolved by this
convention that we are opposed tC
any reduction of hourly rate of pay
for WPA workers, and,
Be it further resolved that we have
strong confidence in Administratol
Parker and Labor Director Burris
and others, and that we stand sole
back of these men, and,
Be it further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be sent to Senator
Wheeler and Murray, Congressmel

to labor ( ton. Several bills,
however, passed which were
very imp s Too late probably
the most rtant of all were sub
mitted. Z bills met with no OPP
position will be considered in
the OPT If the reader, to labor's
benefit e near future.
To lrase what Lincoln said,
it is + 5r the people of the state
in reading the newspapers and the
record of the assembly to understand
what was said and what was done
during the session. An understand
ing of what the representatives do
can only be had by being present
and reading and seeing the actual
work done by those elected to these
positions and the opposition that
time and again must be fought.
To create a correct picture of the
Senate the reader must understand
that upon the most important pieces
of legislation both for and against
the people there is generally in at
| tendance a lobbyist who comes in
contact in many ways with the Sen
ators for the purpose of presenting
his views and influencing him in his
vote, calling attention to the merits
and dement's in each bill in which
he is interested. The Senators are
also confronted with the views of the
people from their county by tele-
grams and communications express
ing their sentiments for and against
a bill, and with arguments presented
upon the floor.
The routine of a bill is its intro
duction by the author, it is then sent
to a committee who considers it and
permits arguments by those for and
against the bill, and either reports
for Or against the bill. If the COM
mittee report is favorable and is
adopted by the Senate it is then
placed On what is known as the gen
eral files for the purpose of debate
where it may be amended if a ma
jority agree. If it passes general file
it is then sent to third reading, and
if a majority vote in favor of it, it
then goes to the House or if it has
been received from the House it goes
to the president and speaker for
signature; then to the Governor.
During the session the Governor has
10 days in which to sign or veto a
bill, and at the end of the session
he has Is days.
Senate Resolution No. 6 was prob
ably the most important to Silver
Bow County. 1t called for the APP

five members-two to represent la
Dor, two to represent the employer
and one chairman of the State Board
of Health. 1t carried an appropria-

If your children are thin and under.

that makes red blood red. At the same
time it helps to arouse appetite, i'm
proves elimination, and thus tones up
the digestive system.
Check up on your family's health.
n YOUR children are run down, or you
yourself are below par, why not try the
Pursang treatment for a while? Pur-

Miss Rebecca Dean, health and

group of exercises with a medicine
ball. She calls it the game OF flnd-
ing better measurements and for
the woman who wants to remodel
her figure in a few weeks time
there are no better exercises.
AS a preliminary step, OF course,
you must have your doctors per
mission to engage in strenuous eX-
ercise. for some of this group in
volve the use of a nine-pound medl-
cine ball, and none Of them is
especially easy.
One of the simple beginning eX-
ercises is to stand with the ball
held in front of the chest. Raise
it high overhead, back to chest,
and then bend down to the floor
with the ball, finally returning 1t
to the chest.
The second exercise involves
more of a stretch. Stand with the
feet comfortably apart, reach the
ball high overhead and then bend
down to touch ball to the floor at
the side of the left foot; repeat
the stretch, bend and touch to
floor at the side Of the right foot.
You may perform this exercise
eight times, then rest, and later
continue another eight counts.
Now you are ready to throw the
ball. The game of finding better
measurements is more fun if you
have someone to catch the ball,
