about looking for prospects. A rush
business was going on at each of the
four corners of Twenty-first and G

Mooney Resolution
Hearings Wednesda,

WASHINGTON. - Representative
Jerry J.. O'Connell will take the
lead before the House judiciary COM
mittee Wednesday, May 18th, when
that committee meets to consider
the Murray-O 'Connell resolution to
free Tom Mooney. O'Connell, who
will present the case for Mooney
before the committee, expects to
produce startling evidence of the
now famous Mooney frameup and
will ask the committee to favorably
report the resolution in order that
House passage may be secured dur
ing this session.
The resolution introduced early
last year by O'Connell was consid-
cred very novel in that it proposed
a reverse of the usual custom and
would memorialize the Governor of
California to grant Mooney an i'm
mediate unconditional pardon. This
hearing has been secured because of
tireless effort on the part of O'Con-
nell, John w. Jenkins and Gardner
Jackson of the Washington Tom
Mooney defense committee.

Thirty-two Labor and Liberal
Measures Have Been Chosen
by the Montana Labor News
AS a Gauge to Determine the
Fitness of Your Officials.
ARE YOU REPRESENTED
100 PER CENT?

This issue of the Montana Labor
News contains a box score of all of
the senator's and representatives
who served in the last session of
the Legislature, computed upon a
representative number of bills in
the House and Senate. Since March,
1887, when the last box score was
run in the Montana Labor News,
there has been such a demand for
this type of news by the people of
Montana that it was thought best to
issue the present one, especially as
it comes in ample time before the
primaries.
It is a known fact that many SEN
ators and representatives would not
be returned to office if the home
people knew how they were mis-
represented and it is with this idea
in mind that the box score is being
issued. Each community is asked to
check the score against their senator
and representative.

GEORGE YEAGER IS
VISITOR IN BUTTE

Mr.. George Yeager, executive
board member of the Montana Fed
Grafton of Labor from Great Falls,
was in Butte Saturday attending a
meeting of the executive board
called by President Graham. The
committee met at the Carpenters
hall and discussion centered around
the declaration of unfairness against
the Holly Sugar Company, who it is
alleged has violated the 8-hour laws
of Montana, cheated the workers out
of proper compensation and in other
ways ignored labor organizations.
The American Federation of La
Dor is demanding that this company
be put on the fair list.
Mr.. Yeager belongs to the Car
penters Union of Great Falls and his
advice and suggestions in the COM
mittee are received with a great
deal of attention.

Merchants Recognize
Value Of Unionism
Organized Labor a Constructive
Agency in Any Community.

kALlSPELL.-The Associated In
dustries of Kalispell have made sew
eral definite attempts to contact
labor leaders of that city within the
past few days and there is reason
to believe that this organization of
Kalispell business men is beginning
to crack.
A number of store owners have
voiced opinions regretting their
original enthusiasm in listening to
the anti-labor sales talk which per-
suaded them to contribute financial
ly and otherwise toward opposing
organized labor.
It is hoped that the labor move
ment in Kalispell will stand solidly
on its principles, when the inevitable
negotiating begins, and not be mis-
led by the usual mo business, poor
conditions, depression, repression,
home industry, etc" and what have
you line of cooperative palaver.
However, the boys in Kalispell
seem to be doing a good job of
handling the details of the problem
in their corner of the state, and no
doubt will be able to sift the seed
from the chaff.
Perhaps the success in organizing
the sawmill and lumber workers is
a potent factor in changing the view
point of some of the Kalispell bust
ness men, as that industry repre-
sents a good share of the payroll
around the community. Another
very enthusiastic meeting of this
group was held Friday, May 6, I'M
der the supervision of Jean Matheny,
international organizer. A we'll
planned follow-up educational cam
paign is going into action at present
and the principle and purpose be-
hind the union label is to be out
lined in some detail to all the new
members and the general public.
The Central Trades and Labor
Council of Kalispell is planning its
first social function for Saturday
May 81. Tickets are now on sale,
under the direction of committee
chairman, Orlan H. Swartzell, for a
big dance to be held at The Oasis
The Oasis is located between Kalis-
pell and Whitefish on the main high
way and a good crowd is expected
from both towns. Visiting union
members and friends will be vel
come to share in the fun of this first
general get-together.
The Railroad Brotherhoods OF
Whitefish and other sympathetic or
CARNATIONS have given the organiza-
ton movement in and around Kalis-
pell a great deal of encouragement
and this dance has been arranged to
further promote the good-fellowship
1t is hoped that the general public
will join in the spirit of the occasion
and get better acquainted.

MAY DAY MEETING
HEARS ADDRESSES BY
LIBERAL ORATORS

The May Day meeting held at the
Butte Miners Union hall at 50 East
Park Street on Thursday, May 5th,
was attended by a large and enthu-
siastic audience. Inspiring talks
were made by Charles Hauswirth,
liberal and progressive mayor; At
torney H. L. Maury, Mrs. Minnie
Beadle, Labor Commissioner Ed
ward O'Byrne, and William F,
Dunn.
Chairman Blewett called attention
that May Day had become associated
with political prisoners-men and
women who are languishing in jail
because of their ideas and principal
ly because they have strived to help
the working men and women. Tom
Mooney, of course, is the most out
standing class-war prisoner of the
United States but there are many
others including the miners in Har-
Ian County, Kentucky, and Becker
who is gradually dying in a jail in
Washington.
Mr. Maury gave a thrilling ac-
count of the accomplishments of the
Soviet Republic, how they had
raised the economic condition of the
people far above that which existed
before the revolution. Mr.. Maury
rebuked Senator Wheeler for his
alleged betrayal of the people, In
concluding his remarks he said that
one of his children belonged to the
c. l. o. He was loudly applauded.
Mrs. Beadle was generously re-
ceived by the audience and her talk
was refined but liberal. Mayor
Hauswirth dwelt upon the need of
the people in this community CO.
operating with the city in getting
WPA better projects. The city,
county, and state should sponsor
more worthwhile works so that the
federal and sponsors money would
not be wasted, said the Mayor.
Commissioner O'Byrne traced the
development of the capitalist sys-
tenn and how through its operations
there had sprung up in this country
a group of immensely wealthy peo-
pie. He showed the contradictions
of the capitalist system.
1t was left for MI. Dunn, who is
always a magnet to bring forth to
the audience just what is trans
piring in this country. He eloquent
ly depicted the efforts of monopoly
capital to restrict WPA %appropria-
tons, cut down relief, force the
working people to storm in vain the
gates of industry for jobs. If this
should take place, Dunn pointed out,
the employer would be able to hold
such an economic power he could
offer the working people whatever
he pleased in wages. Dunn then
spoke of Russia and its remarkable
accomplishments.

URGES USE
OF COPPER

Senator Wheeler has Notified the
unions that in response to his pro-
test against the use of aluminium
wire instead of copper on the Kalis-
pell- Creston rural identification
project, the federal department is
notifying the directors of the project
that they may make their own
choice.
1t is hoped that this will result in
the use of copper wire on this work.
DR.. Arnold c. Long spoke before
a crowded audience at the old high
school last Monday evening. Mr..
Long held his audience spell bound
during his quite lengthy discourse.
The Doctor attacked the bankers for
their unpatriotic and unmerciful
conduct. He appealed for greater
participation by the people in the
Townsend movement and asked for
their a%ppreciative understanding.

Ed Duncan, chairman of the
Trades Council is asking all the
unions and all other interested peo-
pie to inform him of any particular
type of education that they desire
to have instituted under the Smith
Hughes program. 1t is under this
program that the welding classes
and other vocational types of work
are held and taught. MIR. Duncan
would like to know in advance so
that the county school budget could

ANACONDA UNIONS
DEMAND COPPER IN
TRANSMISSION Lines

ANACONDA-A large attendance
of delegates was again noted tonight
when the Central Labor Council of
Anaconda held its regular meeting
in the A. o. H. hall.
A letter received from the Young
Mems Unemployment Club was
read, thanking the Council for its
liberal donation to that organization.
The new bylaws recently printed
were distributed to the delegates.
Many communications were read
by Sec. Healy and Pres. Ashelock
asked delegates to take note and re-
port to their various unions. Pres.
Ashelock reported on kilograms that
were sent by the Council protesting
the use of aluminium wire on a large
electrical project extending from
Kalispell into Idaho, that were sent
to our state Senators and Congress-
men, and favorable answers were
received and read from these gentle
men, who say they will do all in
their power to sea that copper wire
is used. AS this is a large order and
so many men now laid off at the
shelters, the Council. is doing every
thing possible to see to it that Mon
tana's product, copper, is used. Other
delegates announced their unions
had protested the use of aluminium,
and it is hoped our representatives
in Washington, D. c., will receive
favorable action from authorities
who are to place this order.
A telegram received by Pres.
Ashelock later from Senator B. K.
Wheeler advised the Council to pro-
test this further to Mr.. Carmody in
Kalispell, who is in authority in this
state and upon motion and passed
the secretary was instructed to send
a telegram to Mr.. Carmody, and it
is hoped copper wire will be used
on this huge project which will
place many smelter employees now
laid off back on their respective
jobs.
A letter was received from state
authorities asking the secretary to
send in the wage scales of various
unions as work is contemplated and
they want the wage scales so con-
tractors bidding on this work will
know the wages they will have to
pay.
John Mogus made his usual re-
port which was well received.
Under good and welfare, after
comment on the expenditures of
Deer Lodge County, a committee
composed of Bros. Joe Doran, Wal
ter LeSeur and Martin Seaman was
named to meet with the county com
~missioners to see if a more thorough
itemized report of their meetings
