kEENEY CASE TO
Be APPEALED TO
SUPREME COURT
Attorney Announces Step VIII
Be Taken by Defendants.

Attorney E. S. Booth of the legal
firm of Booth and Booth, counsel
with Attorney Howard Toole of Mis-
soula for Governor Roy E, Ayers,
members of the state board of edu-
cation, and President George F. Sim
mons of the state university, in a
mandamus case brought by Philip
o. Keeney to recover the office of
librarian at the state university,
which was decided in his favor, has
announced that the case will be ap-
pealed.
For the defendants Attorney Booth
has secured go days extra time to
file a bill of exceptions, and will also
seek a stay of execution of the judg-
ment.
Today Attorney General Harrison
J.. Freebourn and Assistant Attorney
General Mark Derr, representing
Freebourn among the defendants in
the case, filed an individual return
to the peremptory writ issued by
Judge George w. Padbury, Jr, when
he decided the case, in which they
said that they were willing and
ready to admit Keeney to the use
and enjoyment of his said right and
position as librarian and professor
in the department of library econo-
my at the Montana State Universe

1t was further stated that they
were ready and willing to allow him
to perform his services and duties
as such, and allow him the salary
and emoluments for the position
from Sept. l, 1887. The attorney
general, who did not contest the
mandamus suit, also said that "he
admits that Keeney was unlawfully
deprived of his position and the sal
airy of the said position. Reprinted

to the legislatures, "You made these
laws, now let's see you enforce
them" And the legislature in turn
will back off and sit down in a dark
corner and beg not to be disturbed.
And when next such a racketeering
measure is proposed the members of
the legislature will politely decline
a second helping of that kind Of pie.
For my part l will freely confess
that I haven't a very high opinion
of legislatures in general anyhow.
My experience has been that their
I. @. is only about 30 per cent and
l believe that most farmers and
working men could do a 100 per
cent better job enacting laws in so
per cent less time than the average
men that they delegate to enact the
laws for them.

the stimulation since the bonus
money has been spent? That bonus
was financed by the sale of tax
exempt, interest-bearing bonds,
which were sold to the bankers for
credit enough to pay the bonus, in
the meantime that money has been
spent and gone back to the banker
who now has the money and the
bonds also.
The Townsend Plan, H. r. 4lo9,
will be financed by a 2 per cent
transaction tax and will require no

of bonds, will make no mortgage on

ANY DAY is Just
AS GOOD AS MON
DAY FOR WASHDAY

Some three million families who
send their bundle of clothes to the
laundry every Monday morning with
orders for its return by Wednesday
evening are being urged by Indus
rial Commissioner Elmer F. Andrews
to change their laundry habits in
order to regularize employment in
the laundry industry in New York
State.
Under modern circumstances"
the commissioner is telling them
through posters and circulars, 'any
day is just as good as Monday for
washday."
The problem of regularizing the
laundry work week has been
brought to the fore by the new Di-
rectory Order guaranteeing a week
ly minimum wage to all women and
minors in the laundries of New York
cities with over $4,000 inhabitants.
The new Laundry Order, issued by
Commissioner Andrews on March Z,
is the first minimum wage order in
any state or in any industry in the
United States to guarantee a weekly
wage.
II believe the laundries will find
it easier to meet the terms of the
new order" the commissioner stated,
eff the public will cooperate in order
to spread work throughout the week.
1.-THE good old custom of doing
the family wash on Monday worked
out very well when every housewife
did her laundry at home. Since the
rise of the commercial laundry,
however, a custom that meant sys-
tenn in the housewives program has
come to mean chaos in the working
conditions of an important service
industry.
Despite persistent educational eff
forts on the part of more progress
sive laundry owners to curb the
Monday rush and level out their
weekly peak, the industry as a whole
still receives from IS to 70 per cent
of its work on Monday and Tuesday,
with directions that the finished
laundry be returned promptly with
in two days. The result has been
over-long hours of work during the
early part of the week, with a great
deal of Underline and unemploy-
ment during the latter half.
Over Is per cent of the women
employed in the power laundries
covered by the New York State De-
partment of Labor in a survey Of
the industry in the summer of 1887,
for instance, worked less than the
basic week of 40 to as hours as
established in the first Laundry
Wage Order issued by Commission
er Andrews in 1888, and almost "a
per cent worked in excess of this
basic week.
Tracing the chaotic working con-
ditions in the laundry industry back
to an innocent nursery rhyme,
Every Monday We Wash Our
Clothes" Commissioner Andrews
stated that tradition, engendered by
a nursery ditty, should not be al
lowed to stand in the way of in
dustrial efficiency and social prog
ress."

We consider this a major step for
ward in our ambition to organize
Kalispell and feel grateful for the
cooperation received throughout the
state in gaining our objective. There
is every reason to believe that furth-

spirit fostered and encouraged by
Mr., Gale Whitney and Mr.. T. A.

craftsmen acting for the Central

YALE OIL co. SIGNS;

While East's double called for =

assured of only one trick. However,
the gamble seemed worthwhile, since
with any other opening the slam would
almost surely be made. While three
East players doubled the slam and
received the diamond opening. only
ones. Carton Churchill-defeated
the contract.
Mr.. Churchill's first inclination was
to return the king of clubs. But he is
very imaginative player and was
able to foresee a possible squeeze on
his partner VisualiZing declarer's
hand, Mr.. Churchill deduced that his
opponent would have IL sure tricks
six in trumps, three diamonds and
the other two aces. Thus, If declarer
held the queen Of spades and his
partner the king jack, sure squeeze
would develop unless the ace Of spades
was removed from dummy.
While Mr.. Churchills spade return
ruined the squeeze, the other declarers
made their contract on a club return.
After drawing trumps. declarer played
the king Of diamonds, then ran OH
all his remaining trumps, finally fore
ing West to blank his king of spades
in order to hold on to a diamond
stopper.
