Mason of the Miners scathingly
rebuked the labor movement of Sill
yer Bow County for its apparent
indifference to the boycott of Japa-
nese goods. He mentioned that at
one Of the schools the children used
Japanese favors at a social, and that
one Of the Masonic lodges did the
same thing. One of the delegates
said that in an Ohio town a bonfire
was made of Japanese goods. Mer-
chants, other organizations and peo-
pie who persist in patronizing Japa-
nese commodities are merely using
their influence and money to drag
the United States and other nations
into a world conflict. There is only
one way to punish Japan and that
is by boycotting its goods. Mer-
chants were never known for their
patriotism, profits always come first
and patriotism or love of country
comes second.

After two weeks holiday the Cas-
cade Trades and Labor Assembly
again resumed its sessions. Most of
the delegates appeared to be pleased
to get back to the solving of their
problems and taking care of the reg
ular work of the unions. At this
time of the year many of the affili-
ates send in credentials for delegates
to be seated in the Assembly. Many
of these have been serving in the
Central Labor Union before, but a
few of them are newcomers and
they are always welcomed as the
trade union movement needs new
recruits all the time.

Sam Spiegel of the Theatrical
Workers Union presented unique
plans to the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council whereby every union
in the state of Montana is encour-
aged to send a delegate to a pro-
posed conference. Out of this con-
ference men and women will be Sc
lected to represent the different
counties as legislators and senators
in the forthcoming Legislature. The
plan is devised to prevent repetition
of endorsement of candidates by I'M
ions for these positions and for the
entire labor movement to agree on
certain persons, in whom they have
trust. During this discussion the
delegates were urged to ~re-register
and to have their relatives and
friends %re-register in order that they
would be allowed to vote.
