the support Of 80 many who could helc,
They have not grown up to it yet. Maybe
they will In time.
Those who love the wild birds and
wild creatures in general at any given
time, will only be a handful In COM
purison with the vast majority who are
unable even for a second to get outside
the vast pull Of their own species.
Conservationists are persons of many
types. A man who is willing to protect
water fowl part OF the year in order
that he may have more of them to
shoot in the Fall is a conservationist, too
He may be, in the long run, q great
deal more of one, and do far more for
bird life, than the gentle lady who
feeds the birds in her garden and shud-
ders every time a cat comes through the
gate.
This latter attitude is giving the birds
too little credit for being able to take
care OF themselves, as a race, and giving
ones own domain too much importance
It is very little, after all
You have lot so by $50 feet, let us
say, to which birds will come in numbers
II you are kind to them provide them
berried shrubs and feed them, especially
in Fall and Winter.
The number of bird tragedies seen in
the yard In year are few in COM
parison with the triumphs and happi-
ness manifest. A snowy landscape in
January may show 300 birds at the
feeders, and this without the necessity
on the part of the friend of birds OF
killing any other form Of life.
But what is this one garden, after
all in comparison with the great world?
The birds fly as they please. They
come and go over the mountains and
rivers, and ask us not about their COM
ings and their goings.
II a cat in the garden kills a bird,
it is sad thing, but the friend of birds
refuses to think of those killed to the
exclusion of all the birds alive. To do
SO is to be neurotic.
He thinks Of the happiness he has
given through his purchase of half 4
ton OF mixed seed and grain every year.
The music they have made at his
feeders is what he remembers, not the
few harsh notes. He recalls the health
and happiness OF the scores, and not
the death of one or two
The bird friend will do most for these
CAeoIuI CO NIleu He Keeps sane OalanCe
and prevents himself from playing up
the enemies of birds and the compare
lively few cases Of illness and death
he sees.
Birds and cats have lived side by
side for thousands Of years. and the
tribes OF birds were ever on the increase
until man entered the picture Inclement
weather killed nearly all the beautiful
bluebirds in the United States at one
time. 1t wasn't the cats which did it..
Man killed absolutely every passenger
pigeon. This is a matter of recorded
history
Until We can keep human beings and
the weather out of gardens. forests and
fields, We see no reason for banning
the cats.
If the birds could talk we feel sure
they would say, 1T isn't the four

And they wouldn't mean chickens,

Mirth As 4 Duty.

Mirth As = Duty.
We've got to go on laughing It's 4 duty
of the day;
To seek for some suggestion that will
drive our cares away,
So we gayly grin at people who are bitten,
struck or stung,
And at the lady who's no longer beau-
tiful or young.
We laugh at any picture which displays
the human face,
In terrified expression, with its features
out Of place;
Let us laugh at all misfortune rs We
make another start,
To show the world is ready to 90 for
ward and take heart.

ALLEN A HOSIERY
CLEARED BY union

Emil Rieve, president of the Amer
lean Federation Of Hosiery Workers,
has notified the unions of Butte and
other cities in Montana that this or
ganization has negotiated agreements
with the Real Silk Hosiery Company
Of indianapolis, Indiana, and the
Allen A Hosiery Company Of Ken
osha, Wisconsin.
There is a long and interesting
story connected with the Allen A
Hosiery Company in Kenosha. About
eleven years ago a strike took place
in this plant and two young men
travelled through the country and
visited the unions, Central Labor
Councils and State Federation of La
Dor meetings presenting a pathetic
story of conditions in the mills. The
unions were aroused by the stories
of these boys and through their labor
committees stopped the sale of goods
in practically every city in Montana.
The products of Allen A Hosiery
Mills must have been of high quail
ity because numerous requests came
to the union headquarters over this
period of eleven years asking the
unions to lift the boycott in order
that stores could carry the goods.
However, it was impossible to do
this until released by the Hosiery
Workers organization. 1t is where
the boycott originated.
The recent announcement by Emil
REEVE, president of the National Fed
Grafton Of Hosiery Workers, that this
company had become organized and
that they had entered into an agree
ment with the union is the most
happy and welcome news that has
been forthcoming for many years and
something that the people of the
unions have looked forward to for
a decade. The customers who for
merly patronized the Allen A are
urged by the labor unions to again
resume their patronage of this in
stitution.

LABOR DAY PLANS
INCLUDE ALL UNIONS

Columbia Gardens will be the
scene of union festivities on Mon
day, September 9th. Labor Day
comes late this year. This day is
one day that has been legislated into
existence. The first Monday of Sep
TENDER has been established as La
Dor Day by the United States Con-
gress. Not many holidays have this
distinction.
In order to fittingly observe the
occasion, the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council is holding its celebra-
ton at the Columbia Gardens. Ma
tional speakers have been engaged
for the occasion. Prizes will be is
sued for the sporting events, and ii
is hoped that all of the unions in
Silver Bow County and many of the
outside unions in neighboring cities
will cooperate and participate with
the unions here in making the day
one to be long remembered.
The special Labor Day committee
met last Tuesday evening after the
session of the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council and outlined a general
plan of proceedings. Vice President
William Fauss, of the Trades and
Labor Council, had gone to consid-
cradle trouble in arranging repre-
sentatives and a general Labor Day
committee which takes in practically
every union in Silver Bow County
However, the list of unions and the
members constituting the committees
are not completed and these COM
mittees will be added to as Labor
Day approaches. To date the general
Labor Day committee is comprised
of the following unions and men,
bers:
Clerks Union-Mrs. E. G. Maddox,
Leonard Ripper, Walter Jap, Grant
Lindsay, Frank Shea, E. J. Rule.
Carpenters Union-A. j. Emmer-
ton, Joe Davis, Jake Turk, Richard

MONTANA INTERNAL
REVENUE OFFICE WINS
NATIONAL FIRST PRIZE

Field deputies working out of the
office of the Collector of Internal
Revenue for the District of Montana
stand first in efficiency among those
for all districts of the United States,
according to comparative data issued
by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, covering the four years
ended June 80, 1887, copies of which
have been received at the Helena
office of the Bureau.
During that four-year period Mon
tana deputies handled an average of
fifty-two cases per deputy per
month, as against a nationwide aver
age of twenty-five. Next in order to
Montana the record shows the First
District of Texas with forty-eight
cases; Georgia with f~orty-seven; Ar
kansas with forty-six; the Second
District of Texas with thirty-six; and,
the Tenth Ohio District with thirty
one.
The record is based solely on the
activities of the deputies in the field
and does not take into consideration
the amounts of money collected by
them.
In this efficiency contest, which
has been going on in a good-natured
manner for the past four years,
Montana has had to compete with
the more thickly populated districts
of the east and middle west where
little time is lost in travel, whereas
Montana deputies must necessarily
lose an appreciable amount of time
in covering the wide open spaces
Collector Lewis Penwell is particu-
larly pleased because his office is
not under Civil Service and the out
come of the contest demonstrates
that he was fortunate in the selection
of his deputies.

Assault ON MassiIIon
Strikers Without Pro-
vocation, NLRB Hear,

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Killing
of two steel strikers and wounding
of is others in Massillon, O., by Re-
public Steel Co. strikebreakers, depu-
tiled as special police, vas entirely
without p%rovocation and was part Of
a deliberate plot to open the mills,
five steel workers told the National
Labor Relations Board here.
Harry Jones, an Inspector for Re-
public, told how on the night of the
shooting he drove up to the c. I. o.
headquarters to see what was going
on. He had spent the day with his
family picking carrots, he testified.
AS he parked his car, he saw ID
of the newly-sworn-in police in front
of him. Someone yelled to him to
turn off his lights which he did. Then
the shooting started. Three hours
later Jones was arrested, charged
with carrying concealed weapons be-
cause of a small penknife he carried,
held in Jail for SO hours, and charged
for storage of his car which was i'm
pounded by police.
Frank Hardesty, subregional direc-
tor of the S, w. o. c., testified that
before the shooting started someone
yelled, Break it up. Let them have
it." He said at first he thought they
were firing blanks but later realized
that it was real bullets. Albert Mey-
er, a rougher for the steel company,
testified he heard one of the police
shout, 1.-THE damn hunkies asked for
it. Let's give it to them," and then
the shooting started.
John Veto, ladle mar for the com
pany, said early in the afternoon of
the assault he heard Bill Henderson,
Republic foreman and special police
man, tell a companion were going
to clean them up tonight" Veto con-
firmed the story told by his fellow
workers. Three other strikers testi-
fled that the special police ransacked
their rooming house 3 hours after
the attack, routed them out of bed
and threw them in the Canton work
house for two days without charges.

Gold Prospecting MOI
Very Profitable Job

and
fabulously hopeful as it may have
seemed, the bubble of gold placer
mining as a depression-time source
of employment and income for a
vast number Of the unemployed has
finally been burst.
AS a result of findings on this sub
ject, just compiled by the WPA Ma
tional Research Project on Re-em-
ployment Opportunities, State WPA
Administrator Joseph E. Parker to-
day was advised that although as
many as $4,000 miners operating
small diggings sold some gold in
1885, their average yearly earnings
was only $72. Many others probably
prospected with no luck whatsoever
Magazine and newspaper articles
have specialized throughout the de-
preston on the romantic opportuni-
ties for jobless men in prospecting
for gold. But this is the first time
that the earnings of these prospectors
and their actual number have been
measured to demonstrate conclusive
ly the futility of the suggestion that
gold mining offers an important solu-
ton to the unemployment problem"
Harry L. Hopkins informed Mr..
Parker.
The full report on the WPA's sur
vey has been made up into an attrac-
tive booklet entitled "Small-Scale
Placer Mines AS a Source of Gold,
Employment, and Livelihood in
1885," printed in cooperation with
the Bureau of Mines and the De-
partment of the Interior.
Montana has received a limited
number of copies of the booklet,
which have been sent to the public
libraries at Anaconda, Butte, Boze-
man, Billings, Deer Lodge, Dillon,
Glendive, Glasgow, Great Falls
Havre, Helena, Kalispell, Lewis
town, Livingston, Missoula and Miles
City. Other copies have gone to the
State Historical Library, the School
of Mines, State College and State
University.
In addition to a moving story OF
the i%tinerant men and women who
when they lost their jobs at home
trekked hopelessly in search of the
"end of the rainbow" the publica-
ton has a number of illustrations
contains a considerable amount oil
statistical information and has ar
individual chapter on each of the
II states covered.
In the chapter on Montana it is
revealed that big placer operators
using the services of only 100 mer
were able to recover 26,299 ounces OF
the yellow metal in 1885, while I'll
miners on small-scale placers pro-
duced but 1886 ounces. although
Montana's average was better than
that for any other state, the gross
earnings of each small miner per
day worked was but $2.24-with
operating and marketing costs hav-
ing to be deducted from this" Mr.
Parker says.
