from John D. Rockefeller, IT,, when
she achieved her Tooth birthday an
niversary on May !, 1880.
Posed for Talhe News Reels.
At times Rockefeller would emerge
from his seclusion, always In the best
Of humor. Twice he posed for the
talking news reels. Once, after hav-
ing TAXED around the field in an air
plane, down in Florida, he ended his
little talking picture speech with q
chuckle and God bless Standard
OIL" Audiences laughed and ap-
plauded few days later IN movie
thea,ers all over the country.
Once while he was playing golf at
Pocantico Hills q newspaper photogra-
pher climbed the 15-foot wall sur
rounding the estate and suddenly ap-
peared, camera in hand, before Mr..
Rockefeller.
Where did you come from?" Mr..
Rockefeller demanded.
The photographer silently pointed
to the wall.
"out," said Rockefeller. And then,
with q twinkle: "Out the same way"
But the photographer was permit
ted to take his picture first, and then
Rockefeller watched him make his
exit over the wall.
Rockefeller attributed his long life
to his temperate habits. No one ever
saw him in hurry. The chief Of
American business men, so noted az
hustlers, he never hustled.
He had pulse well below 60, and
no one can remember having seen
him IN a state Of excitement.
He never used tobacco or alcoholic
beverages, ate moderately and very
slowly and took care to linger a while
at table by playing with his house.
hold a game Of numerica, a simple
puzzle Of numbers, somewhat like soli-
taire.
The daily nap after luncheon and
several hours of outdoor activity were
his rule after the age OF "a years.
He took up golf in 1899 and became
constant player. When we'll past
30 he played nine holes in from 40
to As.

said 1t cost about 100000 a year to
maintain the estate. Some $50 men
and 80 teams were constantly en-
ployed on the place.
For many years he had q Summer
place, called Forest Hills, near Cleve-
land, surrounded by $40 acres Of
lawns, gardens and groves. The
house burned in 1918 and was not re-
built. After the fire Mr.. Rockefeller
never went back to Cleveland.

COPELAND HITS
BRITISH PLAN

The proposed new policy Of the
British Empire to parcel out the
lands of Palestine to the Arabs
and others was denounced bitterly
today in an interview by Senator
Royal S. Copeland CD. of New
York.
Senator Copeland Travelled

ganized to obtain a firSt-hand pic.
ture Of the country for the benefit
of the American nation.
On his return from that trip.
the New York statesman reported
his observations to the Secretary
of State and today he expressed
the opinion that if there is any
thing that this country can do to
keep the population from being
disturbed, immediate steps should
be taken.
REFERS TO MANDATE
He said:
cat the end of the war the
supreme war council of the al
lies determined upon the dis
position of territory won through
the war. 1t was decided to place
a mandate over Palestine. The
League of Nations prepared the
terms of that mandate.
although the United States
was not a member of the League
of Nations, this country later
on entered into q treaty with
Great Britain which includes
the exact language Of the man.
date set up by the League OF
Nations.
"Under these conditions I do
not think that this land could
be partitioned out unless it be
in violation of this mandate and
/ do not think it can be accom-
plished lawfully or morally with.
out the consent Of the United
States"
The recommendations of the
British Royal Commission For
Palestine, which was organized to
investigate the disturbances which
have rocked Palestine for many
months, recently made public,
would divide the land into three
parts-one for the Arabs, one for
the Jews and one part to be
known as the British mandate.
Hopes for Action
Its recommendations are being
attacked on all sides. ,
Continuing his remarks, the
Senator declared:

1t has been shown by statisticians
that the spending of $4,000 to $4,000
annually in commercial production
is required to make possible the
permanent employment of one work
er.
Hence we Townsendites say, re-
tire the elders on a 5000 per month
pension ($2,4OO annually. This
money spent will provide jobs for
as many people as there are elders
on the retired pension rolls. A man
with a normal income of $1,000 per
year has buying power beyond abil-
ity to buy beans and bread. He
buys clothing, a home, modern home
appliances, an automobile, insur-
ance.
The industrialists say: Give us a
market and we will supply every
human need that can be expressed"
This market cannot be created by a

FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS
OF EIGHT HOUR LAWS.
GALEh HOSPITAL.

The Montana Labor News is in
receipt of several complaints of
treatment accorded the employees at
Galen. In one of these reports it
was stated that three of the women
were working IL hours per day, and
that the woman in authority com
pels the girls to work IL hours; in
fact this same driving overseer has
threatened to discharge the girls un-
less they work half way around the
clock. The women at Galen have
been informed by some of the Off
cers in the institution, 81 it is al
legged, that there is no 8 hour law
in Montana.
Conditions must be deplorable at
the Galen Hospital if all or only
part of the talk regarding the insti-
tuition is true. Some of the working
people are so discouraged and bitter
over the slavery conditions existing
there and over the failure of the
unions and enforcement agencies to
do anything about it, that there
must be something fundamentally
wrong with the whole situation.
That anyone working in the state
institution should be compelled to
work 20 hours a day seems almost
unbelievable, yet that is the allega-
lions that are being made about
Galen, and this doesn't apply to one
person, but to many.
The Anaconda unions are going to
make an investigation unless the
practice is stopped. There doesn't
seem to be any reason for the I'M
ions not filing a complaint in the
district court in that district to have
the state of Montana show cause
why it doesn't cease violating its
own laws or why the state Labor
Commissioner shouldn't be required
to make an investigation in behalf
of the people for violations of the
8 hour law and other chiseling prac-
ices that IRE going on in state insti-
tutions, especially in view of the
additional appropriation of $4,000
provided at the last Legislature to
take care of the Galen and Warm
Springs hospitals. The exploitation
of the workers in these institutions
would lead one to believe that there
is something sinister and corrupt
about the administration of the in
stitutions.

FEDERATION NOMINEE
PROPOSES new PLAN
FOR LABOR UNIONS

Bruce Steinmetz, president of the
Cascade County Trades and Labor
Council, and who is a candidate for
president of the Montana Federation
of Labor, in his address to the Sill
ver Bow Trades and Labor Council
Tuesday stressed the need of more
solidarity in the ranks of labor.
After expressing his pleasure to
again be with the Butte union repre-
sentatives, he recalled that two years
ago, he appeared before the Butte
unions in behalf of Mr.. Nelson of
Great Falls, who was at that time
a candidate for president of the
Montana Federation of Labor. Mr..
Steinmetz complimented the Clerks
Union for its militant attitude and
deprecated the lack of courage
among the clerks at Great Falls
especially for having accepted an
agreement with the employers which
specified a 48 hour week, while the
Butte Clerks have been working a
AZ hour week. He warned the dele
gates of an evident desire by the
Employers Associations to split the
labor movement of the United
States. The speaker pointed out
that the unions should be mindful
at all times of the traps that are
being set for them.
Mr.. Steinmetz mentioned the
progress that had been made in
Great Falls in organizing unions. He
outlined the plans under which the
operations of the Federation of La
Dor would be conducted should he
be elected. He promised the unions
that a secretary would be main
tanned in the office to take care of
that part of the Federation work
and the correspondence. He also
pledged his unfailing loyalty to the
cause of unionism.
In concluding his address, the
visitor mentioned the part he had
played in the remarkable wages and
conditions that are now enjoyed by
the Stage Employees of which union
he is a member and how he had
helped to secure the contract for the
Cereal Workers in Great Falls.
Mr.. Comba, chairman of the meet
ing, thanked Mr.. Steinmetz in be-
half of the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil for his talk.

GiIdea Hits Re deraI
judge; Defends Strikes

WASHINGTON (FP) - Actions
of a federal judge in inquiring
whether applicants for citizenship
believed in sit-down strikes drew
strong comment here from Rep.
James H. Gildea ID, Pa.), repre-
senting the mining district of Coal
dale.
Thousands of Aliens" said Gildea,
were imported into this country for
the express purpose of doing hard
labor. They built our railroads,
mined our coal, puddled our steel
and wove their lives into that fabric
of our national life which meant
betterment for all. The only prop
erty right many of them know is the
right to work. Their only safeguard
is their job. To protect that job sit
down strikes come into being. They
have been proven effective and to
deny citizenship to a worker who
believes in them is an abuse of jul
dicial power"
Championing the 30-hour week,
Gildea declared, "Men of the an
thracite region entering into the
benefits of the 35-hour week can
take stock of what trade unionism
has meant to them in the past third
Of a century. 1t has taken a long
grind to shake off the shackles that
encountered our workers back in
the dark days when men went IN
foreground before daybreak during
the long winter months and came
back to the surface in the darkening
shades of evening after 10 long and
laborious hours at their occupation.
can eight-hour day was the
glorious beacon lighting the future
and inspiring miners to carry on. It's
goal attained, a seven-hour day be-
came the next objective, and from
the vantage point thus gained, we
can visualize the return Of 40, 1000
unemployed miners to their jobs if
the 30-hour week is made effective.
If in 1880 the Black onnery 30-hour
week bill had been passed by Con-
gress and signed by the President,
it would have done more to solve
the problem of obtaining jobs for the
10000, 900 idle workers than all the
other legislation with its uncertainty
owing to the inefficient administra-
ton and the Interpretation of the
courts"
