the answer in the importation of
foreign-made industrial and agricul-
tural products which have been
flooding this country during the past
decade.
Union-Made Goods Protect High
Labor Standards
"a more positive campaign can
be carried on by American con-
sumers through buying union-made
products.
"The union label is the best guar
antee that products are made in
America because it is a symbol which
assures the purchaser that the
products are made in some Ameri-
can industry by American workers
who receive decent wages; work
shorter hours; and under the most
favorable standards that have ever
been established in the world.
"Thus, while we continually urge
the boycott of foreign-made prod
ucts, we suggest that the public ask
for and buy those practical gifts for
Christmas that are made under
American labor conditions. In this
manner we can obtain both negative
and positive economic actions.
UniOn-Label Christmas Gifts Provide
Work for JObless
what would be lore appropriate
than to dedicate the holiday shop
ping season this year to the great
cause of the Union Label?
1T would be most appropriate be-
cause by urging Christmas shoppers
to buy only union-made gifts they
are also buying goods that are made
in our own factories.
In addition, this indirect boycott
of foreign-made goods will create
more jobs for our own citizens.
IF all Christmas presents that
will be purchased in 1888 were made
in America, employment would be
increased and likewise taxation fol-
relief purposes would be reduced tc
a minimum.
when you see the Union Label
on any product it is a message that
the workers of the factory in which
the goods are made that they were
manufactured under humane con
ditions by men and women who
work for decent wages.
1T is the best guarantee the. the
product is not made by child labor
1T is an assurance that fathers
and mothers earn enough to support
their children, educate them, anc
also allow them to enjoy fresh all
and sunshine instead of Shaving II
sweatshops.
1T is insurance for healthy anc
useful American citizens"

Recreation is a profitable business
in Montana. 1t is classed by the
press as the third most important
industry in the country. Based on
the estimate, Montana's share of the
business without any doubt, exceeds
thirty million dollars for the year
1886.

BAKERY EMPLOYEES
ENJOY CHRISTMAS
DINNER and DANCE

One of the most delightful Christ
mas parties held annually is that
given by J. E. O'Connell, president
of the Eddy Baking Company. The
manager of the Eddy Bakery at
Butte is John Muzevic. At the party
this year held at the plant on South
Dakota street, cash presents were
given by MI. O'Connell to each en-
ployee and other special gifts to
their wives and children. A holiday
turkey dinner was served followed
by a dance.
The average length of service of
employees of the Eddy Bakery here
is z years. This is quite a record
as there are 40 men and women
altogether working at the local plant.
The following telegram was re-
ceived by Mr. Muzevic from Mr.. J.
E. O'Connell, extending Mr.. O'Con-
nelrs Christmas greeting to his or
%ganization:
Mr.. John Muzevic,
Butte, Montana:
Greetings from all Eddy associates
to the Eddy Bakery, Butte. Your
loyalty and cooperation has made it
possible to build and expand our
business. So that tonight over 1900
closely associated people located in
five northwestern states join in our
Christmas festival. To all of you
tonight and always go my sincere
thanks for the part you have played
in building such a fine organization.
I know the will to win which you
possess will carry US on to even
greater achievements.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy, Prosperous and Health
full New Year, and one more wish
that you will all be happy at your
work.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE
COMPENSATION ACT

It has been said by some authorities
that Montana's compensation law is
second to none in the country. That
I believe would imply equal to the
best. I have heard this statement
made. I have also heard it said that
it is possible to collect as much as
$10,5O0 under Montana's compensa-
ton act. I asked the author of this
statement why so many injured
workers found it impossible to col
lect as much as a dime under our
so-called compensation law. He
apparently did not know. I have
also heard it said that under plan
one and plan two that only about
10 to 20 per cent of all claims filed
are allowed. This means that only
10 or 20 per cent of injured workers
receive compensation under these
plans. I have also heard it said
there are only about three or -four
states with better laws than ours.
Let us analyze this statement. Lei
us see what some of our neighbor-
ing states do for their injured. The
law in the state of Arizona provides
in case of permanent total disability
65 per cent of average monthly wage
for life.
In the state of Nevada, the Law
provides permanent total disability
of 60 per cent of average monthly
wage and not less than $50 pei
month nor more than $50 per month
for life and if the injury is of sucf
character as to require services o.
a constant attendant, an allowance o.
an additional $50 per month may
be made.
The laws of the state of Utah pro.
wide in cases Of permanent total dis.
ability 60 per cent of the average
weekly wages, for five years from
date of injury and thereafter As pei
cent OF Sucn average weekly wage
until death.
Fourth, the state of Idaho pro.
vides payment of go per cent plui
5 per cent for each child and not tt
exceed SIG per week nor less thar
SO per week for a period not ex
ceeding 400 weeks and thereafter
weekly compensation of So per week
1t may be noticed that the Idaho
law appears to be not quite as gooc
as the others mentioned.
Now if we should go to the law
of Montana, session 1885, page q
Sections 1891 and 1892, and also tt

many people out of their compla-
cency. Strategists within the Labor
party Immediately put forward a
practical program. If people are
hungry, then feed them. The So
c~ialists proposed to give free lunches
to all public school children in
Sweden, thus using a large part of
the farm surplus" upon which an
export subsidy Of 25,000,0 900 crowns
was paid in 1887. The commission
has demonstrated that if families
with three or more children con-
sumed the average amount of food
stuffs, the income of Swedish farm
ers would be increased by more than
100, 10000 crowns. AS a start it
was proposed to spend 10000 900
for the free lunches in public schools,
the cost to be borne, like that Of the
old subsidy, by taxes.
This, Mr.. Childs emphasizes, is
only a start; a way out of the night
mare dilemma of scarcity in the
midst of plenty. Above all, it is an
effort at political education, a prac-
teal demonstration of how economic
values may be transposed for the
good of a whole society, In this
last respect particularly, it is very
impressive-a lesson that other
states might well study.
He tells of the farm workers
union of 10000 members, one-half
of the employed farm laborers,
which has grown out of the recogni-
ton that any real Improvement in
the status of the farm laborer would
have to come through his own col
lective efforts. The tenant farmers
and owners of small holdings have
their own organization with a mem
bership of about 100, 000 It is in
general a pressure group, but unlike
the comparable organization in Den
mark its policy is not r%eactonary.
In Norway labor has been con-
fronted with a farm party openly
hostile to the whole trade union
structure. The task of the Socialist
government there has been to win
the good will of the farmers by di-
rect and immediate benefits. This
was the reason for the export sub
sides granted by labor and financed
through a sales tax. Later the time
will come for a more carefully in
Itegrated program.
All this shows, according to the
author, that a farmer-laborer ALI
ance can come only out of long,
p%ainstaking effort to bridge the hos
tility that is latent today. It can
not come out of wishing or philoso-
phizing. There must be a tangible
demonstration of the desire for a
common standard; a desire to inn
prove the living conditions of both
rural and city workers. This is the
only basis for a farmer-labor party
that will endure. Sweden has be-
gun to show the way for such an
alliance, established on an under
standing that has every appearance
of being sound and permanent. 1t
is an example of political acumen
that other and far larger nations
might profit from.

Mr.. f. c. Burris, labor commits
sioner for the state of Montana,
asked labor to consider legislation
designed to establish a state wage
and hour act. This communication
was also referred to the legislative
committee and will probably be sub
mitted to labor lobbyists at the com
ing session at Helena.
Charles johnson, state electrical
inspector, was again endorsed for
the position which he now holds. The
Trades Council endorsed Mr.. John
son two years ago and felt that they
should again affirm their choice in
order to apprise the new commits
sioners of the wishes of organized
labor.
The teachers delegation made a
plea for legislation in the next ses-
sion of the Legislature to adequately
finance the teachers retirement pro-
gram. Under the present law a re-
tired teacher cannot expect to get
more than 60 per cent of her pay,
and that in many cases she will re-
ceive not more than $50 a month
Hence there is no inducement fol
teachers to quit even though many
of them are 65 years of age and over
and some of them are more than rs
years of age. Labor unions are
vitality interested in this subject and
promised to assist the teachers ir
getting adequate finances to support
their pension law.

in the race won by Wilbur Shaw. But
he did not fail in his record attempt.
He drove the 500 miles without re-

reveal he has whirled 1885 miles in
competition at Indianapolis. De-
Palma had driven 4.061 miles, and
stands second on the list.

Judge Padway's conclusions:
I'VE find the board has gone fal
afeld Of its original functions in these
respects:
4. It has invalidated existing con-
tracts entered into between employers
and labor unions.
-. It has directed employers not to
enter into contracts because a com
plant was pending.
g. II has ordered employers to alb
stain from recognizing the union Of a
majority Of employees because charges
have been filed by rival union.
a. It has set aside the choice Of a
majority Of the workers registered in
an election held and supervised by
the boards own staff.
IS. It has called formal hearings
tending to disrupt existing contractual
relations between an employer and the
union representing a majority of en-
ployes merely because rival union
has filed petition for a hearing"

tutions, public and private.
These "are usually the most articu-

Williams said. "They are usually the

the school and church boards
"They usually own a majority Of
