Facilities Available to All Truck
Companies in Territory.

Montana's largest exclusive motor
freight terminal opened for business
in Butte, under the direction of w.
M. Bill Daniels, of Butte, one of
the states largest independent truck
operators. The building, which is
ideally designed for this purpose, is
located on the Northern Pacific sid
ing in the wholesale district of Butte.
1t was for several years used by the
Hennessy Company, pioneer mer-
chants, for their warehouse. That
firm has given "Bilr' Daniels a long
term lease on the structure and its
approaches.
Max Apostle, Butte contractor, re-
modelled the structure with doors
sufficiently large to permit entrance
and exit of the largest motorized
freight units now on the highways.
The indoor loading platform will ac-
commodate ten complete units at a
time.
Work was rushed to have it COM
pleted before cold weather sets in.
The structure, which is built of brick
and is substantially constructed, is
208 by 103 feet. OF this space an
area go by lao feet has been set
aside for loading and unloading, all
within the warehouse proper.
With the major job completed and
the various Independent outfits now
using the present Daniels terminal
in uptown Butte installed in their
new quarters, work will be started
on a special refrigerator room, 80 by
so feet, for the care of all perish
ables.
Shippers in many parts of the
Northwest are congratulating Mr..
Daniels on his aggressiveness in es-
tablishing the big terminal. They
declare that it has long been n of
Butte's greatest needs.
A part of the big building will be
enclosed and will be equipped up to
the last notch in modern appliances
for the repair and maintenance of
the bigger units now rolling across
Montana in steadily increasing num-
bers. This will provide truck serv-
ice, not only for the equipment of
the Daniels and the allied lines, but
will be available to all other opera
tors in the big mining center.
1t was only IS months ago that the
Union Motor Freight Terminal was
employing three men. Today the
Daniels operations are employing 20.
With opening of this service center
in Butte, shippers may now have a
central depot serving all of Montana
with direct routes to Puget Sound
points over the Cater connection; to
California, Utah and Idaho, over the
Utah California Motor Lines; via Bill
lings; Wyoming and. Denver through
Hartell and the Nielsen lines; the
Hardy trucks to Chicago and Hills
Brothers to the same point via Great
Falls and Glasgow.

LABOR MILITANCY PAYS
Employers Admit It.

Greatest misgivings over the
nearterm period probably arise from
the labor situation says Business
Week (11-7). with the elections
over, the lid is off on strikes, and il
would be no surprise to find labor
taking a firmer stand in its quest
for a bigger share in current earn
ings. Rising food and rental prices
add fuel to the fire"
And Kiplinger Washington letter
adds that the pay increases workers
are now demanding "are normal in
ANY period of rising prosperity,
rising profits, and rising costs of liv-
ing" 1t attributes the haste with
which wage increases are being Civ
en- by employers, to the new mill
fancy Of labor"
American Business, another trade
magazine, also admits that "rising
living costs will undoubtedly cause
increasing unrest" (read: organized
action by unionized workers.-Ed.)
and result in higher wages for man
industries"

Internal Chaos Grows
In Nazi Germany

on
the horns of the dilemma of being
forced to raise fatter hogs on less
feed, German farmers are turning
to bootlegging underweight hogs,
Facts for Farmers, monthly bulletin
of Farm Research Inc, reports.
Recently Nazi officials forbade the
marketing Of hogs under a certain
weight in an effort to increase the
amount of meat and fats. At the
same time imports of feed have been
curtailed in order that all available
foreign exchange can go to the pur-
chase of the raw materials of war.
As a result, German farmers have
been forced ito use feeds which
would not have been considered five
years ago" according to the U. S..
Department of Agriculture. '"They
are using ~processed roots and are
SLIDING potatoes. Statistically the feed
situation appears to be worse than
last year. Stocks of feed grains are
so per cent smaller than a year ago"
Total meat supplies in Germany
are smaller, the Department of Agri-
culture reports, supplies of meat
available for consumption declining
to 6.35 pounds per person in August.
With the decline in supplies, prices
Of meat have risen, it is noted, af-
fecting the poorer classes of the pop
ulation most heavily.
For these reasons, Facts for Farm
ers concludes, Germany continues
"saber rafting in an effort to "di-
vert attention from internal prob
lems."

Representatives Put Forward
Demand for Higher Wage and
30-HOur Week.

PITTSBURGH (UNS)-A new or
ganization of company union repre-
sentatives directly affiliated with the
present steel union campaign was
formed at a meeting of such repre-
sentatives, speaking for every mill
of any Importance from Cleveland
to the Atlantic Coast.
The new group is to be known as
the &c. |. 0. Representatives Coun-
cil' and has set for itself a broad
program to bring all steel workers
into a national industrial union.
In addition the meeting recon-
mended that at a forthcoming ma
tional convention of steel workers
probably to be held in early spring
these demands be considered:
/. A SIS a day minimum for labor
and $1.24 a day increase for all EN-
ployes receiving over SIS a day.
2. Thirty-hour, five-day week.
3. Paid vacations with pay of one
week for all employees with two OF
more years service, and two weeks
paid vacations for five or more yeal
service men.
4. Time and one-half for overtime
within the regular working week
and double time for Sunday anc
holiday work.
Two other strong resolutions were
adopted by the group, after Philip
Murray, chairman of the Steel Work
ers' Organizing Committee, adj
dressed the meeting. He and Arthur
H.. Young, vice-president in charge
of industrial relations, had been in
vited to speak at the meeting. Young
did not show up.
One resolution pointed out tbs
complete domination of company
unions by management and com
mented that 'it is as difficult to fine
a needle in a haystack as it is to fine
a steel worker who will defend tht
company union"
This resolution also "condemneC
the company union as a farce, /;
sham, an insult to the intelligence
of steel workers, and a Rip Var
Wrinkle form of collective bargaining
where the company union represent
atives try to bargain and the man
agement actually does the collect
ing
The fourth resolution called at
tention to the tremendous majorit,
given to Pres. Roosevelt as a com
mand from the people at large TO
all industrial workers to wake Vi
and form their own independent la
Dor organizations so that the eco
nomic life of the nation can b
raised to a level providing a decen
standard Of living for the country
l5O million people"
This resolution expressed appre
citation to the C. /. o. and the S. W
o. c. for helping to organize tn
steel industry and pledged the repre-
sentatives to go back to their respec
tive mills and actively engage in en-
rolling members into the organizing
drive.

GFEAMED puddings are now in-unusual ones too, such as steamed
- coffee pudding and steamed upside down pudding. No longer need
you get out the steamer, tote boiling water and worry around keeping
up the fire" when you steam puddngs. Just place the pudding in the
thrift cooker unit of your modern electric range. No watching or at
tention is necessary. The regulated heat keeps up the temperature
and the initial cup and a third of water placed in the cooker needs no
repenishing. Boston brown bread and delicious steamed buildings
can now appear on the menu often without causing any complications

There was also threats by manage
ment that there would be no pay in
crease for those plants which refused
to sign the wage agreement of Nov
6, which offered ian average 10 pei
cent wage increase" pegged on the
cost of living. But the raise was
granted.
The record is already filled with
evidence of how management
changed minutes of meetings of com
pany union representatives. Kane
cited instance after instance of this
practice. On several occasions when
minutes showed antagonism to the
plan or to a company" man acting
as a representative, they never were
made public, he said.
1t is the custom to post on bulletin
boards in the mills minutes of the
proceedings.
Efforts of the representatives to
hold mass meetings with those who
elected them failed because manage
ment did not want such meetings,
the witnesses testified.

WOMEN RULERS OF
AMERICA

In an item on Naming the Rich"
IN last months Notes, we gave the
numbers of multi-millionaires in the
United States and of those having
incomes of over a million dollars a
year. We now list by name % Amer
lean women, each one of whom has
a fortune of $25, DOC, 900 or more.
Twelve families are represented
by these % super-wealthy ladies,
described in Fortune, magazine of
the rich. In several cases, two, three
or four women inherited the family
millions and yet the personal for
tune of each one exceeds $25, 600, 900.
An estate of that amount or over
gives each of these women an an
nual income of more than 81, 900, 900.
In other words, each one has more
money to spend than a thousand
workers, each earning $1,000 a year,
have for all expenses for themselves
and their families.
The aggregate wealth of women in
the United States is estimated by
Fortune as $210,0 900, 900, 900, or about
70 per cent of the country's entire
private wealth. This amount, how
ever, includes all the insurance poll
cies made out to women by men who
have yet to die. Since the women
average a longer life-span than men,
there are mor rich widows in the
country than there are rich widow
ers.
All but n of the multi-million-
aires listed by Fortune inherited
their wealth from men who had
amassed these fortunes. The one ex-
ception is the daughter of Hetty
Green, americas only great wom-
an fortune builder" who played the
stock market successfully for 80
years.
These millionaire ladies will have
even more to spend this year than
for several years past, because COM
panies are increasing dividend pay
ments to avoid taxes on undistribut-
ed SURPRISES. Wall Street is now
rather satiated on extra dividends"
according to the Wall Street Journal:
"One lady stakeholder recently
bought $1,700 of frocks, etc, in a
leading Fifth Avenue shop and paid
for them with extra dividend checks
she had received.
In listing below the % richest
women, we call attention to the fact
that the list does not include any
women of the Rockefeller, Field,
Ford or Mellon families, since they
have not yet inherited the family
fortune (see Rulers of America, by
Anna Rochester). Here are the 90:
Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks, daugh-
ter of Hetty Green, inherited from
her mother and brother, $134,000,-
600, amassed by playing stock mar
Ket. HUSBAND was great grandson
of John Jacob Astor, with fortune in
real estate. Probably richest woman
in United States.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Cert
rude Vanderbilt), whose husband
left net estate of $62, 800, 900, largely
from city traction interests. Father
was Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New
York Central and other railroads.
Owns three estates and a museum.
Mrs. Payne Whitney. Large share
of husbands estate of nearly $780,
000,0 largest ever filed for pro-
bate. Fortune was built up by
