1.-THE American system has proved
in our laboratory of governmental
experience, covering M hundred
and fifty years, its ability to deliver
and maintain the highest level of
mass happiness, the swiftest and
most continuous progress, that any
civilization on earth has ever been
awarded.
1.-THE one essential necessary to
the return of balanced happiness in
America is the establishment and
maintenance of a balanced purchas-
ing market.
"This unbalanced condition must
be corrected so that the butcher
workers can purchase the goods of
the bakery workers and the work
ers of the baker can buy and use
the products of the candlestick
maker, etc.
workers who obtain low wages
from sweat-shOps and child labor
employers cannot walk up to the
retail counters and purchase prod
ucts of the well paid workers who
still do compose a fine and a large
percentage of the American people.
Boycott of Cheap-Labor
Goods Urged
There is a way of correcting the
unbalance between purchase power
and production. It can be done
and it must be done, for the con-
tinuance of happiness and the pros
perity of American Capital and
Labor.
1.-THE manner and method of re-
balancing purchase-power with pro-
duction can be almost instantly
achieved when the public realizes
fully the penalty inflicted by pur-
chasing sweat-shOp, child labor, and
penal-institution produced goods and
when they refuse to buy Or use such
bIoOd-produced products.
"There is a positive, safe guaran-
tee for guidance away from goods
of those types. The public does
need to look for the Union Labels
of the American Federation of La
Dor and of its affiliated national and
international unions, plainly i'm
printed upon thousands of products
in various fields, proving that the
particular articles were produced
under ideal conditions by fairly paid
workers who feel a just pride in
their craftsmanship"

PRESIDENT JAMES GRAHAM GIVES
REPORT OF EFFECTS OF EIGHT-HOUR
AMENDMENT ON WORKING RULES
Supreme Court Commended;
Defends Bridges.

Butte u~nionists were treated to an
address by James Graham, presi-
dent of the Montana Federation of
Labor, last Tuesday. The labor chief
expressed his joy at being again
permitted to address the central la
Dor council and then referred to his
recent visit to Washington, D. c.,
where he went thoroughly into the
matter of federal unemployment in
surance. He eomplimented the de-
partment of labor for its generosity
in giving him access to the files and
also in placing the clerks and other
attendants at his disposal.
Mr.. Graham is always a welcome
guest, if for no other reason than
that he gives such a vivid picture
of union and working conditions
throughout the state.
Lewistown is experiencing a UNI
ion boom, said Mr.. Graham, and re-
Gently the Cooks and Walters or
g~anization held a dinner at the Car
penters hall to which clerks and
other unorganized groups were in
vited. As a result of the meeting,
signatures were obtained for a char
ter for a clerks organization, also
an effort will be made to organize
truck drivers and auto mechanics.
The Central Labor Council at Lewis
town is very much alive.
The labor situation at Billings is
a ole of qualification to the en-
tire state and the. working people
in the eastern metropolis are evinc-
ing more union precocity thar at
any time in the industrial history of
the community.
The president described encour-
aging growth of the building trades
groups in Billings; he also men
toned that in spite of the deter
mined and concentrated resistance
of the Associated Industries, labor
would eventually establish its or
CARNATIONS there.
Labor Act May Be Applied
Some of the merchants may be
involved with the National Labor
Relations Board for alleged viola
tons Of the Wagner Act from. COM
plants arising out Of their refusal
to permit the crafts to create me-
diums for collective bargaining, in
other words, unions. The Carpen-
ters State Council at Anaconda, de-
clared the speaker, had contributed
$3.50 to forward the labor movement
in Billings and had asked all local
carpenters unions to respond to the
same cause. The Int. Bro. of Car
penters was requested to match the
amounts subscribed by the unions
in Montana.
Recall Urged by G. F.
Mr.. Graham made some refer
ences to a proposal now being
pushed by the Cascade Trades and
Labor Assembly having for its pur-
pose the initiation Of legislation pro-
viding for the recall of state off
GERS. Expressing his general ap-
proval of this proposition in prin-
ciple, Mr.. Graham commended, how
ever, that such a measure could not
be initiated of itself but must arise

LINCOLN WAS FRIEND
OF COMMON PEOPLE

The common people love Abraham
Lincoln, not particularly because he
was President nor particularly be-
cause he issued the Emancipation
Proclamation, but because he was
one of them; because he understood
them and loved them. Many of his
sayings show a profound under
standing and sympathy so foreign
to the calloused cruelty of modern
leaders. Not forever will the work.

honor his natal day, February 18th,

Teachers Unions Are
Increasing in Number

It was announced at the last SEES
sion of the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell that at the present time the E
are four teachers unions in the state
Of Montana, namely: Butte, Havre,
Anaconda, and Missoula. More pow
er to the teachers. Perhaps if the
other cities see the results of the
work of these locals they will cease
their hesitancy and become a part
of the general labor movement.
Attorney General Freebourn
thanked the Assembly for endorsing
his action relative to his stand in
declining to prosecute the persons
who it is alleged broke into the
commodity store in Great Falls.
Several resolutions were read by
Secretary Kennedy, all Of them be-
ing sent in from the Cascade Trades
and Labor Assembly. One related
to a request for more money to be
used in the construction of farm
.to-market roads. The other one re-
lated to the recall of public officials
and the last one to the wages and
hours bill. All Of them were re-
ferred to the legislative committee
of the Council.
The Machinists Union and Ed
Duncan, chairman of the education
committee, are working out a plan
in connection with vocational edu-
cation under the Smith-Hughes Act.
The Machinists will be asked to per
nit other persons than members of
their organization to be allowed to
take advantage of the classes now
being conducted in machine shop
practice.
The grievance committee of the
Trades and Labor Council reported
that the negotiations between KGIR
and the Musicians Union were still
going on and that also the matter
involving the Clerks Union and the
State Liquor Store was being
thrashed out. In this latter case
the LIQUOR store clerks are asking
for an increase in wages.
Butte is fortunately situated at the
present time in having three repre-
sentatives of national organizations.
The last person to be elevated to
this position is Maurice Mulcahy of
the Firefighters Union, who is now
representing his national union in.
Montana. Mr.. Mulcahy has been
very active in creating locals at Hell
ena, Havre and Kalispell. There
are now seven locals of firefighters
in the state of Montana.
Frank Shea of the Clerks, who
was president of the local union,
was complimented by his Inter
national in being assigned as a ma
tional representative to take care
of clerks duties in Montana, He is
a very effective officer. At one
time Frank Shea was chairman of
the grievance committee of the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council.
James O'Brien is the third one on
this list and is a member and off
Ger of the Machinists Union but rep
resents the American Federation of
Labor as general organizer in this
district.

SOCIAL SECURITY

THE growing significance of social security is re-
flected in the report of the Executive Council
to the 1888 Convention and in resolutions on this
subject presented to the convention. This mani
festation of growing popular interest has been
confirmed in recent elections. Our national pro-
gram is just getting under way so that the multi
pcity of problems and interests involved has been
apparent only to those closely in touch with ad-
mnstrative agencies.
The Executive Council called attention to de-
veloping problems under both types of provisions
for old age-old age pensions for the needy and
old age insurance forthe ganfully employed. There
should be coordination and not conflict between
these two plans so that relief provisions should not
be out of harmony with earned pensions available
Ito the self-supporting. The Executive Council be-
eves that Old-age insurance should be based upon
principles of social insurance which are not neces-
sary those of commercial insurance. The Execl-
tive Council recommended the following changes:
That monthly payment Of old-age insurance begin
upon the attainment of the required
age; that coverage be widened to include all en-
ployed persons including the self-employed with
mo exemptions except those in the direct employ of
Federal OF state governments; that some form of
receipt for payments into the old-age fund should
be in the hands of each contributor.
Upon unemployment compensation, the EXecu-
tive Council recommended a Federal law setting
up national system, with existing state machin-
cry administrative units The Council recon-
mended further simpfcation to extend coverage
to employers OF one or more; stamp system of COL
lections; waiting period of one week; flat duration
of benefits limitation of disqualifcations for ben
efits because of labor disputes; making the en-
poyment service an integral part of the admins
tration by placing unemployment compensation
and od-age benefits in the Department of Labor
under the same notwithstanding; Federal re-
assurance fund
The Convention adopted recommendation to
the effect that central clearing agency within
the American Federation of Labor is necessary for
the fullest protection OF the Wape-earnerS in the
field of social security and that local committees
on social security keep in touch with that Fedora
|tlon agency.
In addition continued study of national health
insurance was recommended with a view to de-
Itermining policies by the Executive Council.
