r ]. O'CONNELL
FOR PEACE

Congressman Jerry j. O'Connell OF
Montana made a desperate effort last
week on behalf of peace. The pro-
gressive Montana congressman intro
duced a Joint Resolution in the
House of Representatives, and led a
group of members of Congress who
conferred with Secretary of State
Cordell Hull on the matter.
O'Connell was chosen the leader
of this movement by his colleagues
because of his fearless efforts on be-
half of peace since his arrival in
Washington.
In his talk with the Secretary OF
State, O'Connell said, IF we want to
prevent another war, now is the time
to do it." War is lurking all oveI
Europe and if we do not proclaim
our neutrality now, one overt act will
lead to another European conflagra-
ton and the United States will be
drawn into it,"
In urging early action on his reso-
luton which would clearly define
Americas neutrality policy, O'Con-
nell told the Secretary of State that
"America must be kept out of war
and that we must have a neutrality
policy o clearly defined that there
would not be even a slight POSSIBLE
ity of our country again being drawn
into an international conflict" ''To
this end" stated O'Connell, he anc
his progressive colleagues intended
to work"
In appearing before Mr.. Hull, Con
gresham O'Connell represented {
large group Of his fellow Congress-
men, and the eastern press, includ.
ing the New York Times, Baltimore
Sun, New York Herald and Phila.
delphia Record, hailed his efforts a,
of Outstanding constructive value
in this international issue.

MAJOR RELIEF Crisis
Is SWEEPING States
By Federated Press

NEW YORK. - (FP) "A major
relief crisis is sweeping the states,
Natl. Pres. David LASER of the
Workers Alliance declared, as DEM
~onstrations and sit-downs conceded
with exhaustion of funds in various
states and a Chamber of Commerce
drive to cut federal WPA.
In calling for a 20 per cent wage
increase on WPA, nor WPA jobs,
reinstatement OF all dismissed work
ers and vacations and sick leave with
pay, LASER emphasized several
points:
l. THE overwhelming majority OF
the unemployed want jobs at decent
wages in private industry, at their
own trades and occupations. How
ever, with the economic depression
now 71z years old, the 100000
unemployed realize that unless
changes are made which would re-
duce the hours of labor ard in
crease the purchasing power of those
employed, they are not likely to be
~reabsorbed in private industry for
years to come. A recent WPA re-
port shows that productivity of in
dustrial workers has SO increased
that by 1884 only Sc workers were
required to produce the goods pro-
duced by 100 workers in 1920"
2. Government agencies today
are caring for less than SO per cent
of the unemployed, and the income
of those on relief or on the works
program is now on a starvation
basis"
8. IN the two years since WPA
wages and relief benefits were fixed.
there has been a tremendous rise in
the cost of living. Rents have risen
1877 per cent, food prices, ~ pei
cent, clothing, &c per cent, and the
cost Of household goods even more
4. "a major relief crisis is sweep
ing the states, due in large measure
to the failure of the federal govern
ment to give WPA jobs to 5000 0
employables on the direct relief
rolls, leaving them a burden on the
local communities and states"
5. although the government has
expended some billions of dollars for
relief, and we are appreciative OF
this, the unemployed themselves
have lost more than rs billions OF
dollars in wages during the depres-
sion."
G.. "On the federal government pri-
marily rests the responsibility for
appropriations for unemployment
and relief; first, because it is a ma
tional problem, and second because
the federal government has the
credit and the taxing power moi
possessed by the states or local COM
munities."

INFLUX OF EASTERN
CRIMINALS
From The Stony Of Butte by

From The Story of Butte by
Guy x. Piatt, Edit, April 10, 1897.
The advent of the Utah & North
ern was the sign for the hegira of
toughs from other portions of the
country, VINO made Butte their OBJ
~jective point. The fame of Butte
had gone abroad and as buzzards
flock to a feast so the most undesir-
able classes of other western states
flocked to Butte. Among them were
murderers, burglars and thieves of
all grades, bummers and men who
proposed to live by their wits alone.
Hold-ups and b%urglaries were daily
and nightly occurrences. Mr.. J. A.
Hyde, then business manager and
part owner Of the Miner, was held
up one nigh opposite the Presby-
terrain church. J. R. Wilson, city
editor of the paper, was held up the
next night at the same place, and
the editor escaped because the high
waymen knew he didn't have a cent.
No attache of the Miner has since
been held up. A meeting of several
citizens was secretly held and a COM
mittee appointed to notify all sus-
picious characters to leave the city.
Henry Jacobs, the first mayor of the
city, was chairman of the commit
tee. It first formulated and caused
to be printed a notice couched in the
following language:
ITO All Whom It May Concern:
You r hereby notified to leave
Butte forthwith. This means all
who do not seek work and will not
accept work if offered to them. If
such are found in the city after the
expiration of "a hours from the date
Of this notice they will be arrested,
taken west of the city limits and
horse-whipped. 3-7-77."
These notices, printed upon six
teenth-sheet slips Of paper, were
scattered broadcast over the city
during the night. The next evening
Butte-bound passengers reported
seeing at least 200 hard looking
cases ~tie-walking on the Utah and
Northern, heading for Salt Lake.
Two or three suspicious looking
characters who refused to walk were
taken out to the other side of Mis-
soula Gulch and given a taste of the
BLACK persuader." They left and
for a season burglaries, thieving and
hold-ups ceased.
During the brief reign of terror
the wife of DR.. Thompson gave an
exhibition of nerve which made her
a heroine in the eyes of Butte peo-
pie. Her husband, the doctor, was
temporarily absent one evening. A
slight noise in an adjoining room
attracted her attention. Cautiously
looking in she saw a burglar search
ing for valuables. Mrs. Thompson
neither screamed nor tainted. Pos
sessing the courage of a true daugh-
er of the south, she took a pistol
from a drawer near at hand and
throwing open the door, opened fire
upon the intruder. That worthy be-
ing didn't hesitate a moment upon
the order of his going, but went at
one bound he was at the partly
raised window through which he
had effected an entrance. Another
bound took him through it, the glass
rafting I've his disappearing feet.
A shot or two more FASTENED his de-
parture. DR.. Thompson's residence
was never afterwards troubled,
burglars having lost their appetite
for that particular locality.
