PIG CROP REPORT,
DECEMBER, 1886

That hog production in Montana
expanded in 1886, but will be cur-
tailed again in 1887, is indicated by
the results of the annual pig survey
made by the u. S. Division of Crop
and Livestock Estimates, showing a
1886 fall pig crop of $4,000 head or
6 per cent larger than in the fall of
1885. The spring pig crop was also
larger than in 1885 and at $4,000
head places the total number of pigs
saved in the State this year at 1885,
900 head. This is about 20 per cent
larger than the total pig crops of
1885.
Intentions Of growers for 1887 re-
fleet the effects of the 1886 drouth
on feed supplies and breeding stock
indicating that % per cent fewer
sows have been bred to farrow in
the spring of 1887, compared with
the number narrowed in the spring
of 1886. The survey would place the
1887 spring SOW borrowings at $4,000
compared with 20, 900 in 1886.
The increase in the fall pig crop
of 1886 was due to a higher average
number of pigs saved per litter
which was 6.15 compared with 5.87
pigs per litter in the fall of 1885.
The number of sows narrowed this
fall was $4,000, equalling the num-
Der narrowed in the fall of 1885.
Stockyard receipts of Montana hogs
during the first ten months Of 1886
ran only slightly higher than during
this period in 1885. The survey
showed ar increase of about 8 per
cent in number of pigs under six
months being held by growers on
December l, as compared with a year
ago. The number of hogs over six
months in the December ! holdings
were reported as being about II per
cent smaller than a year ago.

WASHINGTON, D. c. William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, after comforting
with President Roosevelt at the
White House on problems confront
ing working men and women, told
newspapermen that he and the Presi-
dent were in pretty thorough I'M
derstanding' relative to organized
labor's program for legislation deal
ing with minimum wages and maxi
mum hours of work.
He said that in his opinion Mr..
Roosevelt had indicated, in his an
nual message to Congress, the proper
procedure for the attainment of these
detectives by legislation, and indi-
Gated that the American Federation
of Labor would not join in the pro-
motion of a Constitutional amend
ment unless the detectives which la
Dor seeks were found to be impos-
sible of attainment by other means.
NRA Principle Adopted
Mr.. Green was especially emphatic
in urging the enactment of Federal
legislation setting up machinery for
the establishment of wage and hour
standards in what he termed the
"sweated industries" In these indus
tries he listed canning and the tex
tile and laundry businesses, where,
he said, workers lacked the protec-
ton which accompanies collective
bargaining between the representa-
tives of bona fide trade unions and
the representatives of employers.
He pointed out that the proposed
legislation would maintain the prin-
ciple Of the labor sections of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act,
which the United States Supreme

Out in Oregon, folks have a tradi-
ton of voting No on almost every
thing, due to a vague fear that it
might increase taxes or something.
This tradition defeated several pro-
gressive measures in the recent cleo
tons. The measures, backed by the
State Grange and Oregon labor,
rolled up large votes, however. They
call for a state bank, state-owned
power, and non-compulsory military
training in schools.

SAFETY AT SEA LAW
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
DISTRICT COUNCIL NO. 2
Maritime Federation of the
Pacific Coast

fdc1IlC OOdSl
TO ALL CENTRAL LABOR
COUNCILS.
Dear Brothers:
Certain anti-Labor provisions of
the Copeland Ship Subsidy Act, H.
R. 1855 and the Copeland Safety at
Sea Law, H. R. 1897, which were
enacted by the Second Session of
the 74th Congress, constitute an i'm
mediate threat to the very existence
of the maritime trade unions, whose
combined membership exceeds 100,-
900.
These laws were sanctioned and
supported by the Legislative Com
mittee of the American Federation of
Labor, al the request of certain off
cials of the international Seamen's
Union. Unfortunately these officials
did not represent the wishes of their
memberships in sponsoring this leg
islation.
Therefore, we + requesting your
organization to prevail upon the Leg
islative Committee of the American
Federation of Labor to withdraw its
support from these laws and to spon-
sor and support amendments which
have been drafted and endorsed by
the majority of American seamen.
The enclosed resolution contains
an outline of the major amendments
desired by the seamen. We ask that
you endorse this resolution and send
it to the parties suggested therein.
We believe that the shipowners
will not persist in their stubborn
anti-labor attitude if they know that
Organized Labor will lend solid sup
port to the maritime unions in their
efforts to remove the discriminatory
and unfair sections of these laws.
At present, the shipowners are
carrying on an open-shop campaign
against the maritime unions, on two
fronts. First, through lockouts,
labor spies and provocateurs and
frame-ups they are endeavoring to
smash the maritime unions. Second,
they have a powerful lobby in Wash
ington, whose job is to obtain unfair,
discriminatory and anti-labor legis-
lation intended to regiment and re-
strict the rights of maritime workers
to such a degree that they cannot
effectively maintain labor organiza.

serve in order to retain his job.
No provision is made for collective
bargaining, recognition of unions OIL
recognition of contracts reached be-
tween unions and employers.
We believe that if these laws are
not modified to recognize the rights
of Organized Labor, the next steI
the Employers take will be to re-
quire that all workers employed in
key industries must obtain and pos

Court held unconstitutional, by pro-
viding for agreements between en-
ployes and employers reached in
conference, and permitting them to
make agreements covering minimum
wages and maximum hours.
Thirty Hour Week is Standard
The plan proposed by Mr.. Green
would have Congress provide stand
ards, but Congress would not arbi-
trarily fix minimum wages and max
imum hours for all industries by law.
The five-day week and the six
hour work day without any reduc-
ton in hourly, daily or weekly
wages, which the recent convention
of the American Federation of La
Dor made the paramount objective
of that organization, would be a
standard, he said, on the basis of
which agreements could be negoti-
ated between employees and employ
ers, with flexibility to suit the re-
quirements of specific industries.

ment of the attitude of the American
Federation of Labor on possible
amendment of the Federal Constitu-
ton, Mr.. Green said:
Il told the President the A. F. of
l.. would work with him on his ideas
and plans to develop this legislation
and carry it into effect under the
provisions of the Constitution, as
Stunning there is constitutional power
to do it. Meantime, the American
Federation of Labor will await the

Biz Blast at Rock
Point Does The Work

The blasting off of the rock point on
the Pipe-Quartz creek road was done
last week and was highly successful
The first blast moved the old bridge
out into the river and at the same time
filled the space with rock that had
been occupied by the bridge. The
same blast also blew off the high rock
point in such manner as to widen the
road.
The work is being done by an ERA
crew under Grant Harley of the forest
service. and Harley says all that was
necessary after the blast was to run a
bull dozer over the site few times
to put the road in shape for travel. The
powder work was handled by ]. B.
Lamey
The project Includes half mile of
work with a new rdad cut out of the
mountain side muchl lower down and
much nearer the river.

Bull DOzd Removes
Stumps at Low Cost

A new system is coming into use for
the clearing of land in this district and
it is proving highly efficient. 1t is the
use of a bull dozer for removing
stunps.
Mrs. A. C. Herbst is one of the latest
ones to clear land by this method and
she is enthusiastic over the cheapness
of it. Recently she had two acres
cleared of stumps on her ranch east Of
Libby. A bull dozer belonging to the
J. Neils Lumber company was used
and Joe Pondelick did the work. Two
acres were cleared of stumps and
leveled in nine hours. The tract was
covered with large tamarack stumps.
Removing of tamarack stumps is known
to be tough proposition but they were
easily handled by the bull dozer. The
machine would root them out without
any difficulty and then bunt them
along until much of the earth that had
come up with the roots was knocked
off. The stumps were rolled off the
field and later the bull dozer filled
the stump holes so that the tract was
almost as level as a floor, states Mrs.
Herbst. The two acres will be planted
to potatoes this year.
Bert Erickson is another Libby
rancher to remove stumps with bull
dozer. He is also enthusiastic over the
ease with which such machine does
the work.
