foreshadow months of f1libuster unless
the bill is modified.
The outcome of economy proposals
was almost as uncertain. The con-
sensus was that the House would grant
the $500, 100000 requested by the
President for next years relief fund
The Senate-where some of his own
counsellors demand a reduction-Was
expected to be less willing
There was talk in the Senate of re-
considering all appropriation bills to
effect 10 per cent reduction in Gov
ernment expenses.
Mr.. Roosevelt disclosed at a train
press conference yesterday that he had
discussed national economics with
cattlemen, fruit growers, oil execu-
tives and big cotton men at various
halts in his 3,000-mile journey. They
impressed him, he said, that they
knew what it was all about.
To Push New Deal Aims.
Then, after few questions more,
he voluntarily told the correspondents
he was going ahead with original OBJ
jectives and try, in an orderly way, to
attain those not yet reached.
He said he still was doing business
ut the same old stand, that the best
way he could describe his aims was to
refer to his Madison Square Garden
speech just before election last No.
Vember.
It was in this address that he said
he had "just begun to fight" for farm
and unemployment aids, improved
wage and hour standards, prevention
of monopolies and many other goals.
That he was not ready now, If at
any time, to listen to compromises on
his Supreme Court enlargement plan
was evident from his attitude.
He would not discuss the court, but
his statement that he was going ahead
with objectives not yet attained was
taken generally to mean he still stood
by his six-judge increase proposal.
Meanwhile, in the economy drive,
the Works Progress Administration,
facing the task of cutting at least
$4,000 persons from its relief rolls
next year, already has started re-
trenchment intended to make its funds
60 farther in employing workers.
Officials said that State w. P. A.
directors have been instructed to make
communities meet q larger part of
the cost Of materials used on relief
projects.
The question of how much the
Government should spend for relief
in the year beginning July l is to
be acted on in the House next week.
Representative Woodrum, Democrat,
OF Virginia, an economy advocate, has
proposed that 81 ,oOO, 100000 be allot-
ted, but the House Appropriations
Committee voted yesterday to seek an
additional s5OO,OOO,O0o. President
Roosevelt estimated the larger amount
would be needed.
The United States Conference Of
Mayors declared today any reduction
in the $500, 100000 appropriation IS
simply unthinkable." The confer
ence based its statement on reports
from ofdcials Of cities throughout the
country.
Harry L. Hopkins. works progress
administrator, told subcommittee
the administrations program for
dropping 525, 900 persons from w. P. A.
rolls would be successful only If pri-
vate industry could hire those dis
missed from Government projects.
He said the w. P. A. lay-offs would
occur, however, only III business con-
ditions improve sufficiently" An
average Of l,73o,ooo persins could be

zinc INDUSTRY In 1896

The year 1886 marked the fourth
year of Improvement in the zinc
industry from the low point reached
in 1882, as indicated by preliminary
figures received from producers.
Production of metallic zinc from
domestic ores climbed to q new high
since 1929, while recovery Of metal
from foreign ores declined sharply.
Production of redistilled zinc was
the largest recorded since 1929. In
Dictated deliveries of primary zinc
to consumers advanced to $4,000
tons, or within 10 per cent of the
record for 1929. Stocks of slab zinc
reached a new low since 1928 and
were only a little more than one and
one-half times the approximate aver
age monthly consumption indicated
for 1886. Imports of zinc in ore
dropped to an insignificant figure
while imports of slab zinc increased
sharply. Exports of slab and rolled
zinc declined somewhat but exports
of zinc with benefit of drawback
were nearly q%uadrupled.
The output of primary metallic
zinc from domestic ores in 1886, as
reported by producers from figures
of actual production for eleven
months and estimates for December,
was about 491,500 short tons, an in
crease of 10 per cent over the 412, 1874
| tons produced in 1885. Production
| of slab zinc from foreign ores in 1886
| amounted to little more than 300
tons, a sharp drop from the 8,450
tons reported for 1885. The domes-
tic primary production was the
largest recorded since 1929, being
slightly in excess of that made in
| 1880. Owing to the greatly reduced
recovery Of metal from foreign ores,
however, total primary production
from domestic and foreign sources in
1886 was lower than in 1880, but
was larger than in any other year
| since 1929.
OF the total output Of primary
material in 1886, about l26, 600 tons
were electrolytlc zine, of which 105,-
| 900 tons were produced in Montana
and $1,000 tons In Idaho. OF the pri-
mary retort output $4,000 tons were
produced in Pennsylvania, 81, 900
tons in Illinois, 69,900 tons in Okla

sas, Texas and West Virginia,

BUTTE WILL AID
SPANISH LIBERALS

In Butte, as in every corner of the
earth, the splendid struggle of the
Spanish Peoples Front against the
Fascist hordes of Franco, Hitler and
Mussolini has gained the admiration
of workers, liberals and progressives.
Unfortunately, however, little has
been done to organize active support
for the cause of these heroic people
while in other cities vast meetings
have been held, funds and supplies
collected and other forms of aid or
| ganized.
Feeling that Butte workers and
liberal forces are ready and willing
to give the utmost support when a
responsible committee is set up, steps
are being taken by a local group to
form a Permanent Committee to Aid
Spanish Democracy. A mass meet
ing will be held at the Miners Union
Hall, Friday, January 90, at 8 p. m.
AT the meeting plans will be made to
organize every sympathetic group
and individual in behalf of demo
cratic Spain. A number of speakers
have volunteered to discuss various
phases of organization and a letter
sent to every union and several
churchmen and public officials.
The North American Committee
to Aid Spanish Democracy, clearing
house for all efforts to aid Spain, has
at present over five hundred receiv-
ing stations for food, clothing and
medical supplies. The organization
expects to send from rs to SO u. S.

SHIp0WNEDs AVOID
SETTLEMENT EFFORT

The first weeks of the New Year
brings union efforts to achieve peace
through negotiations with the ship
owners almost to a standstill, but
with the employers continuing to
make insincere gestures.
Current shipowner policy is to call
conferences with one union after an
other, attempting to give the public
as well as the union the impression
that it is willing to talk things over
in a give and take" manner.
Meanwhile time is passing, which
the shipowners believe will slowly
break up the solidarity of the Mari
time Federation. They are also
counting on the vigilante-inspiring
statements of Thomas G. Plant,
spokesman for the s%hipowners,
whose bitter diatribes have already
helped to cause violence, several
men having been beaten in the past
few nights by rowing thugs in auto
mobiles without license plates, and
one of whom is at present in the
hospital with knife wounds.
Statements by leaders of the most
recent unions which have conferred
with the shipowners follow:

WORKERS CONDEMN
WORK PROGRAM

The labor unions of Silver Bow
County are expressing disgust and
disapprobation at the national adj
ministration for their petty and dila-
tory tactics in not providing ade-
quate relief and work relief for
Montana. This subject was thrashed
out at the Trades and Labor Council
at its last meeting. The Govern
ment still has the same ideas about
human beings as they always had;
that human beings a be regulated
and operated like a piece Of machin-
cry. Quotas have been established
for the state of Montana, that means
that a certain number of people can
get relief and work relief no more.
A budget is set up to take care of
this certain number of people. Now
if human beings were so many cords
of wood or so many old discarded
automobiles in a yard and a budget
was established to take care or dis
pose of those pieces of machinery,
that could be done, but with human
beings it can't be done.
1t has only been recently that quite
a large number of men were put
out of work in Anaconda due tc
some trouble in the operation of the
plan in that town. -Four hundred OF
five hundred were laid off in Great
Falls. There is no provision in the
quota laid down by Mr.. Hopkins and
the rest of the brains in Washington
to take care of this emergency. The
quota still remains the same. The
budget still remains the same. The
quota and the budget were made
quate in the beginning to take care
of the people before any other emer.
geneies arose to put more labor mer
on the market. While the sit dowr
strikers in Helena before the Relief
Commission may not have been the
best tactics in the world it is one
way of expressing the need for more
money and more relief which the
officials of the Government seen
unwilling to see. The Government
should appropriate more money fol
the state of Montana.

The Miners Union
Cooperative Assn,
A Synopsis of Its Form and
Operation.

The distinguishing feature of the
cooperative system is that it exists
for the common good. All land,
buildings, or goods acquired become
the common property of all the
members. Every economy in distri-
button or manufacture and every
advance in efficiency made within
the society benefits every member
of it, instead of going to swell the
profits of some one person.
The Miners Union Cooperative AS
~sociation will be built on the rules
laid down by the Rochdale Method
of Cooperation, which are;
/. Unlimited membership.
Q. Business to be done for cash.
8. Appropriation, out of net saw
ings, of a substantial sum to be
placed in the reserve fund.
4. Goods to be sold at current mar
ket price-not at cost.
5. Education in the history and
methods of cooperation to be carried
on.
6. Efficient bookkeeping and ac-
counting, outside audits, and regular
reports to members to be required.
Z. Manager, treasurer, or anyone
else handling large amounts of
money be bonded.
8. Affiliation as soon as possible
with the nearest district cooperative
organization and the nearest cooper
alive wholesale.
A Commissioners License from the
Secretary of the State of Montana
has been procured authorizing the
Commissioners to open books for
subscription to the capital stock of
the Miners Union Cooperative Asso-
citation. The three commissioners
Andrew Pettet, Hiram Beasley and
Mrs. James Robinson, r now TAX
ing subscriptions and selling mem
bership shares in the Association. As
soon as enough members have sub
scribed, a stockholders meeting will
be held to decide the future activities
of the Cooperative.
Anyone interested may get addi-
tional information by attending the
Commissioners meeting, which is
held every Monday evening, 7:30 p.
M, in the committee rooms of the
Miners Union Hall, 821a East Park
Street.

TOPICS FROM GREAT
FALLS LABOR unions

GREAT FALLS.-The Labor Com
missioner, Edward O'Byrne, was en-
dorsed by the Cascade Trades and
Labor Council for the position he is
now holding. A bill has been pre-
sented in the Legislature to establish
a separate Department of Labor and
Industrial Relations. Mr.. O'Byrne
works through the Department of
Agriculture now and his office is
only a bureau of this Department.
OF course whether the new bill
passes or not, there will still be a
labor commissioner.
The Trades and Labor Assembly
had passed a resolution to establish
Fort Peck as a Government power
site. Representative Jasper DeDo-
heller stated that he was supporting
the Assembly's resolution.
Quite a few other communications
were read by Secretary Whitmore;
one was from Billings relating to the
Contractors License Law. Another
one was from Representative Sti-
matt of Butte pledging cooperation
with labor in the Legislature; one
from Governor Roy Ayers, stating
that he was pleased to receive en-
dorsements from the Cascade unions.
One of the most important of these
communications came from Senator
Murray telling the Assembly that
any person or persons known to be
in dire need of help and unable to
get assistance should communicate
with him.
Mr.. Calkins representing the Adult
Educational Glasses thanked the la
Dor unions for their cooperation.
Persons who wish to attend any of
the classes should call 5503.
Motion pictures will be shown
Thursday at the Junior High School
describing DIESEL engines. The adj
mission is free.
The Cascade Trades and Labor
Assembly is supporting Walter Fowl
er, WPA administrator, for the posi-
ton of principal administrative Off
Ger under the Social Security act.
The chairman spoke in behalf of Mr..
Fowler.
A request from a local group of
radio workers that a committee be
appointed from the Smeltermen's
union and their group to talk over
the advisability of securing a charter
from the Committee for Industrial
Organization was referred to the
Grievance Committee Of the Assem-
bly, to which was added Delegate
Eckstrom and Frey of the Electri-
clans union.
Secretary Homer Whitmore was
endorsed for the position Of direc-
tor of the National Emergency Coun-
Gil at Helena. All the unions were
requested to support the Central La
Dor Body in this action.
Homer Whitmore, secretary of the
Assembly, who has been lobbying in
the Legislature in the interests of
labor bills, made a very fine report.
He reminded the unions that if they
were interested in any measure to
Immediately get in touch with him
at the Harvey Hotel, Helena, Mon
tana.
Mr.. Whitmore stated that he had
been working with President era
ham of the State Federation of La
Dor on all labor measures. Mr.. Whit
more in his report praised the House
of Representatives for their liberal
attitude, but did not give much credit
to the Senate.
