LET US RUN WITH
PATIENCE THE RACE
THAT is SET BEFORE us
Heb. IL: /.

We who have engaged in the service
of the Lord have started out on a race
and to run this race with success we
must get ready to run. If there is any
thing to hinder us, we should lay it
aside in the beginning of the new year.
Are we ready to run this Christian
race? Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great cloud
of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so cas-
lily beset us, and let us run with pa
tience the face that is set before us.
In this race every runner can win,
the race is not given to the swiftest
runner, neither the battle to the STRONG,
but to him that continues in the race.
Are you in the race to win? If SO, you
must have patience, run with patience !;
there are many obstacles along Dur
way, but we must run with patience
job, through patience waited on God
amidst all of his Affections; so we to-
day must go on Our way looking unto
Jesus, the author and finisher of our
faith.
Twin-City herald. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1940, 1938-01-08
By Rev. E. G. Harris

If you have any selfish ideas, or any
thing against your neighbor, you are
not ready to run in this race; not what
you did last year, but what you do this
year, forgetting those things which are
behind, and reaching forth unto things
which are before. l press toward the
mark, for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus. Let us not
look so much for the mistake or mis-
deed of our neighbor, but look for our
own mistakes and our own misdeeds,
and try to keep ourselves straight In
this race we must sacrifice and deny
ourselves and put our lives on the al
tar for Christ. He is able to supply
all our needs. Are you running the
race or are you drifting, driven by
overbearing influences of sin?

SUGAR UNIONS SHOW
STRANGE CONDITIONS
SuperfluOus Federal Labor Or
CARNATIONS; Imported Car
penters Employed on Building.

This year the Holly Sugar Com
pany constructed a sugar factory at
Hardin, Montana. Carpenters were
imported into Hardin from every
where to work on the building and
paid the magnificent sum Of eighty
cents an hour while the carpenters
scale is one dollar per hour-the
Billings scale, as Hardin is within
the Billings jurisdiction.
The wages of common labor were
reduced from sixty cents per hour
to forty cents per hour; the latter
wage was paid men wheeling con-
crete. Sixty cents per hour has
been the wage scale for laborers
for a few years in Hardin.
During the month of September
the employees of the Holly sugar
factories at Hardin and Sidney,
Montana, were organized into the
Federal Labor Unions by some per-
SUI HUH Ndilodo OlbJ, dltllOQSil
Federal Labor Unions were already
in existence in Hardin and Sidney
for over four years. Charters were
granted these new unions at Har-
din and Sidney over the protest of
the Federal Labor Unions of Hardin
and Sidney on the grounds that the
newly organized unions were only
company unions. The president of
the Montana State Federation of
Labor also protested against the
chartering of these new unions and
recommended that the new unions
should be merged with the existing
union as this would prevent the
company dominating the sugar fac
tory unions.
The last convention of the Mon
tana Federation of Labor decided
to keep Holly Sugar on the unfair
list until it settled with Organized
Labor in Montana.

Officers OF Bus Drivers
In Buiie on Business

Matt Murray from Seattle is in
Butte in the interest of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees and
Motor Coach Operators of America.
He was ordered to report here by
First Vice-president Edward Nc
Morrow, at Detroit. Mr.. w. D.
Mahon is president of the Amalga-
mated Association, but has been
very i'll for some time and his duties
have been largely taken over by
Mr.. McMorrow.
The Amalgamated Association has
jurisdiction over all passenger
transportation except taxis. Their
jurisdiction includes city bus lines,
intrastate and interstate bus trans
p~ortation. At one time the Amalga-
mated Association had locals in Mis-
soula, Butte, Helena, and Great
Falls. A great change has come
over the transportation picture, not
only in the Northwest, but all over
the country and where formerly all
the transportation men belonged to
the railroads, many of them are now
included in the Amalgamated. The
Washington Motor Coach and the
Greyhound drivers are members of
the Amalgamated. The men work
ing for the Washington Motor Coach
system have their headquarters at
Portland, although some of the men
drive into Butte. The men working
for the Greyhound company have
their union headquarters at Mime
apolis. Recently the Minneapolis
organization has effected affiliation
with the Silver Bow Trades and La
Dor Council.

Council:
Local 342 of the Bakery and Con-
fe~ctionery Workers International
Union of America wish to announce
that we reached a satisfactory agree
ment with the Paul F. Beich Candy
Company of Bloomington, Illinois,
and returned to our former jobs on
February 3, 1888.
In az much as we had appealed to
you in regard to the recent contro-
versy asking you to notify the Paul
F. BEECH Candy Company to reach
an early settlement or you would
instruct your membership and their
jobbers not to purchase their prod
ucts, we r asking that you notify
your membership and their jobbers
that the Beich Candy Company be
put back on the fair list again.
Due to the fact that we were on
strike for 5 weeks we are of the
opinion that all the publicity this
matter can be given will be very
helpful in restoring the sale of the
Beich products which will mean an
early return of all our members to
their former jobs.
Thanking you for your support
which we found to be very effective,
we wish to remain,
Fraternally yours,

Forces
OUT FOR H. r. 41oo

The largest and most enthusiastic
crowd of the winter season attended
a social meeting of Butte Townsend
Club No. l Friday evening at the
Y. M. C. A. A noticeable feature
Of the meeting was the large num-
Der of young men and women in
attendance; their pertinent questions
gave evidence of the fact that they
are awakening to the need of some
permanent recovery plan that will
prevent recurrent depressions, and
are studying the Townsend plan as
set forth in H. R. 4199 now before
Congress.
Visitors from Great Falls, Boze-
man, Livingston, Manhattan, Twin
Bridges, Dillon and Whitehall were
present, with the Bozeman delega-

send plan; w. Barnum urged the
need of extending club activities;
j. M. Dunbar furnished a pertinent
"hayseed' view of the farmers need
for the plan; Professor L. L. Blu
chanan and F. Redfield spoke on
phases not touched on by the other
speakers; H. B. Landoe, county at
torney of Gallatin County, who was
the principal speaker for the Boze-
mar folks, concluded his fine talk
with this statement: ITO my mind
there has been no other remedy
offered that could solve our eco
nomic problem, and until there is a
better n put forward l am for
the Townsend plan as expressed in
Fl. R. 4199, now held up by the Ways
and Means Committee"
Park Lea brought news of the
activities of many congressman who
r trying to get H. R. 4199 out of
committee; Mrs. H. N. Kennedy
spoke of the Townsend plan from
the women's angle; F. Murray told
of conditions in Cascade County;
Miss M. Shea of Anaconda and
Frank Heffernan furnished musical
numbers, and the social committee
served refreshments; M. ]. Mulhol-
land welcomed all visitors and an

7-p0INT A. T. L.
C.I. 0. PEACE PLAN
By Federated Press

NEW YORK. - (FP) "A 7-point
program for A. F. Lie. /. o. peace
was suggested by Julius HICKMAN,
a vice president of the Init. Ladies
Garment Workers Union and man
ager of the dressmakers' joint board,
in a talk before a conference of
teachers in workers education here.
1t embraced:
/. Elimination of Glass B mem
bership in A. F. of L. unions, with
issuance of new charters to any
groups subjected to discriminatory
rulings.
2. Industrial union charters to the
original C. I, o. unions and to those
subsequently chartered by the C.
1. o. (which clearly have the sup
port of the bulk of the organized
workers in their respective indus
tries"
8. An arbitration board, repre-
sentative of A. F. of L. and C. I. o.
to make final jurisdictional deci-
sions in industries where both
groups have substantial member
ship and where the unions them
selves are unable to agree within
three months.
4. Joint conventions, after juris-
dictional disputes are settled, to

Z. A convention to elect represent

entrance of C. I. o. affiliates into

HICKMAN pledged continued sup
port to the c. l. o., but insisted that
it is imperative that the C. l.. O..
have a peace program, both because
peace is desirable and so that die
hard A. F. of L. elements will not
be able to shift the blame. He IA
vored continuance of peace efforts

OHIO'S LABOR'S NON-PARTI-
SAN LEAGUE WILL MOVE TO
CLEAN STATE GOVERNMENT

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES state
legislators shouted for impeachment
of Martin L. Davey, red-baiting,
anti-labor governor of Ohio, Labor's
Non-Partisan League here prepared
for a county convention on March
10 to clean out corrupt and anti
democratic government in this state.
Elmer Maloy, former c. 1. o. or
ganizer and present labor mayor of
Duquesne, Pa, will be principal
speaker. The convention precedes
the first state convention of the
league by n week.
Cries for impeachment arose in
the legislature as the governor was
pushed further into a corner by
increasing revelations of widespread
graft in his administration. At the
recent Ohio convention of the c. /.
O., labor spokesman demanded his
impeachment while the convention
passed a resolution demanding on
tinuation of the graft investigation
of his administration.

To New Wagner Bill
Would Prevent Federal Bust
ness Going to Labor Act
ViOlatOrs.

WASHINGTON (UNS)-Full sup
port for the Wagner bill Is. 1890
requiring compliance with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Acts i'm
holders of government contracts was
expressed in a letter written last
week by John L. Lewis to Senator
Robert F. Wagner, sponsor of the
bill.
Il am convinced that legislation of
this character-requiring benficiar-
les of government contracts, loans
or grants to comply with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act-ic i'm
perative to implement the policy of
the United States as set forth in the
National Labor Relations Act and
to secure full enforcement of the
law Lewis said.
Organized labor now sees certain
large corporations, like Bethlehem
Steel, Weirton Steel and the Elec-
trio Boat Company, dominated by
men like Grace, Girdler and Weir,
enjoying very profitable contracts
from the United States government
while they brazenly flout the pro-
visions Of the National Labor Rela-
tons Act.
Agencies such as the Metropoli-
tan Water Boards of South Cali
fornia obtain hundreds of millions
of dollars from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, and then prac-
tice the most vicious anti-labor
policies.
"These wholesale violations of a
basic federal law by reactionary
corporate interests are supported by
federal funds. The measure which
you have introduced would end this
intolerable situation"

e. O. Asks Congress
To Provide Jobs
For 100000
AT Least $500, 600, 900 Needed at
Once for WPA, Says League.

WASHINGTON (UNS) -Appro-
priation of at least 5000, 900, 900 to
provide WPA jobs up to the end
of the current fiscal year was de-
manded last week by both the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton and Labor's Non-Partisan
League.
In communications to the House
Appropriations Committee and the
members of the Senate and House,
both Director John Brophy of the
c. l. o. and E. L. Oliver, executive
vice president of the League, point
ed out that the $3.50, 00O, 900 WPA
deficiency appropriation asked by
Pres. Roosevelt was woefully in
adequate to provide work for the
unemployed.
AT least $4,000 jobs are need
ed to cope with the present I'M
employment" Brophy said.
ut will take at least this many
jobs to fulfill the administrations
declared policy that it will not per-
nit any needy American who can
and is willing to work to starve be-
cause the federal government does
not provide work. Already in many
states and cities the plight of Amer
lean unemployed is desperate"
League Letter to Congress
Oliver, in a letter to all members
of Congress, pointed out that al
though 100000 workers have lost
their jobs in the past three months,
according to the administrations
own figures, it is proposed to put
only $780, 900 of them on WPA.
On the basis of the Census of
Unemployment, there were 10, 800,-
900 able-bodied jobless, between the
ages of Is and 10, as of November
is, 1887" he said. "Since then there
has been an increase of at least
100000 in persons unemployed.
This gives us a total of more than
out of work today"

Large Crowd Anticipated at
Carpenters Hall March Is.

The meeting of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council next
Tuesday evening, March 18th, will
be turned into a nominating mass
meeting for trustees of School Dis
trict No. l. John Donovan, a mem
Der of the Electricians Union, will
serve as chairman. Mr.. Donovan
was elected to serve in this capacity
a year ago and was reappointed by
Chairman Davis of the Council two
weeks ago. Other members of the
committee are James Leary, Leon

At the present time there are two
Independent members on the board,
namely, Mr.. Frank Murray and Mr..
A. Lehwalder. Mr.. Murray's term
expires in April. The Citizens now
have five members on the board.
1t is very necessary that the unions
increase their representation and
that the people get out and vote to
.re-elect the two Independent mem
bers whoever they may be. It is
not good for the district that one
party continue to have an over
whelming majority on the board.
This has been demonstrated many

When IL saloon keepers in Mead

had paid too much for their retail
liquor vending licenses, they re-
tanned Joseph Monaghan, former
Butte congressman, to recover their
money. The fee charged was x
cessive, in that Meaderville is an
unincorporated village of less than
1000 residents. They paid the regu-
lar city fee. Two liquor dealers in

Talks About Unfair Firms;
Compliments Library.

The Cascade Assembly of unions
endorsed both James Talbot and
Hugh Lyman for the position of city
firemen. Talbot is a member of the
Electrical Workers and had already
been endorsed by that organization.
Lyman belongs to the Mill and
Smeltermen's Union, and had been
endorsed by his union. In order to
be fair and impartial, the delegates
voted to endorse both men.
AT the request of the Transfers
organization, the H. & M. Transfer
Company was declared unfair.
A letter of thanks was sent to
the Board of Fair Commissioners
for the action of the board in per-
hitting the use of the North Mon
tana fair grounds to the unions for
their celebrations.

TRADES COUNCIL TO
START AT O'CLOCK
ON MARCH nth

The next meeting of the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council will
start at 7 o'clock instead of 8 o'clock.
Union delegates will be in session
just one hour, then the Council will
adjourn and the meeting be thrown
up for the nomination of trustees
of School District No. l on the In

cordially invited to attend the mass
meeting.
A communication was received
from the National Wool Growers
Association of Salt Lake City deny
ing all connection with the arrest
of A. A. Evans, secretary of the
Sheepshearers Union, in Arizona.
This organization stated that the
greater part of its organization was
composed of state groups and not
very many individual members.
The Trades and Labor Council
has been unable to find out all the
particulars of the arrest of Evans
except that he was trying to or
ganize some of the sheepshearers in
that district. The general antag-
onism of the wool growers to the
union is well known. 1t might be
that the wool growers had no direct
connection with the incident. The
Central Labor Council in Phoenix,
Arizona, is protesting the arrest and
prosecution of Evans and several
other members of his union.
The unions in Butte will continue
to send in protests and to do all they
can to defend these members of
organized labor.

A strongly worded letter was re-
ceived from Louisville, Kentucky,
bitterly condemning Seagram's Dis
tillery of that city. The Trades
Council went on record as support
ing the appeal of the A. F. of L. and
the Distillery Workers Union to
place a boycott against the company.
Delegates to the Silver Bow

favor of supporting the Teachers
Union in their request for a length
ening of the school term from nine
months to 9h months and the School
Board will be notified of such action
