CHALLENGE

Elsewhere in today's paper, you
read about the 195-word-per-min-
ute record established by the fly
ing fingers of Max Bergman at
his typewriter keyboard in the
Civil Service Commission. Officials
over there explain that's as fast
or faster than most people can
talk. We didn't intend to start
any real fights among the Govern
,ment departments when we asked
the Civil Service people who their
fastest typistS are. But now that
the contest is over at Civil Service,
we're wondering If Max isn't the
champion Of the entire Federal
set-up here. If anyone thinks he
or she can better MaX'S mark, an
other test might be arranged. Any
challengerS?
WHAT, NO CHECKS
A delay of over two weeks in the
issuance of checks to local WPA
workers caused plenty Of criti-
cism to be leveled at the Treas
ury's disbursing office. No checks
for August is arrived until two
days ago although the pay rolls
were reported forwarded promptly
by Agriculture The WPA work
ers can see no reason for the delay
and consequent inconvenience T..
If the Civil Service workers at Dis
bursting are unable to put the
checks out on time, the WPA en-
ployes suggest, let the Treasury
borrow some really competent ac-
countants from the WPA projecrs.

40 Years With Newspapers.
The veteran political commentator,

When President Coolidge was inaug-

became the first private citizen ever
permitted TO talk from the inaugural
stand, giving historical review of
the presidency and a description of
the inaugural scene.
MI. Wlle'S varied career took him
TO London in 1880, where he broad
cast periodical news summaries of
the International Naval Conference
by transatlantic radio and introduced
prominent delegates, including Sec
retary Of State Stimson and Secre-

the meeting, showed how the fight
of working people must be directed
against the profit system which
causes unemployment and distress.
He was well applauded.
The Butte Miners Union donated
the use of the hall for the meeting.
$19.39 was raised for the Alliance
defense fund and the following reso-
luton vas unanimously passed in
support of the Great Falls relief
defendants:
Whereas, The prosecution of Will
liam Davey, A.. J. Richardson, Ray
Richardson, Lloyd Taylor and Hen
ry Murray on charges of grand lar
ceny by County Attorney Phil G.
Greenan of Great Falls in defiance
of the Attorney Generals opinion to
the contrary, and regardless of the
proven facts of the case is clearly an
attempt to stop any attempt to Sc
cure better relief conditions and
more WPA jobs on the part of the
working pepole of Montana, and
Whereas, The conditions of anar-
chy existing in the state and county
Public Welfare Boards are well
known, proving that these boards
have been derelict in their duties
and such conditions of anarchy
which the state and county boards
have fostered are responsible for the
present crisis condition in Montana
where people have starved to death
or committed suicide because of the
failure of the boards to issue ade-
quate and efficient relief, and
Whereas, The fight against this
prosecution is the spear head of the
general fight for more WPA jobs
and better relief,
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, that
this mass meeting of approximately
700 persons held in the Butte Miners
Union hall, Butte, Montana, on the
18th of March, 1888, does hereby
condemn this prosecution as an act
contrary to the tradition of Mon
tana and against the best interests
of the people of Montana, both en-
ployed and unemployed, and
Be 1t Further Resolved, That we
will assist by every possible means
in defending the five Workers Ali
ance leaders against this outrageous
prosecution.

Central Labor Council
OF Anaconda Meets
Continued from Page 81

Lodge l. A. of Machinists, Auto Me-
chanics. John Mogus, business agent
for the Council, made his report of
interest to the Council.
Much interest to the Council at
the coming meeting on March 10,
1888, at 2 p. m. in the administration
building at Warm Springs with state
officials, is the 8-hour law which
has never been in effect at any of
the state institutions and which or
ganized labor throughout the state
is interested in and intends to do
their part on putting all jobs at these
institutions on an 8-hour day. In
vestigations heretofore regarding
this condition have always been told
that there never was any money
budgeted for this purpose. Figures
obtained by Postmaster Frank Fin
negan furnished by the chairman of
the subcommittee on appropriations
for state institutions during the last
session of the legislature showed
that both Galen and Warm Springs
were given an added budget to
place these institutions on an 8-hour
day, but this eve was done. The
budget for 1885 for Warm Springs
was 1925, 900 and $4,000 was added
for the 8-hour day, making it $780,
900. 1t is hoped that this condition
will be adjusted. President Ashe-
lock asked all the committees he
appointed to cooperate and especial
ly the organization committee to
make the Council bigger and better.
Our treasurer, Dan S. Lyons, was
back at his desk after being absent
caused by pneumonia, and from
which he is recovering slowly.
1t is asked that this meeting will
act as a criterion for the member
ship in attendance. The Council is
in fine shape and of course as usual
will put on a banner celebration
Labor Day at Washoe Park.

T~ownsendites for Sus-
tanned Buying Power

Points brought out at the last
meeting of Townsend Club No. l
were taken from a speech by Rep
resentative Knudson of Minnesota
who is urging a hearing on Social
Security measures now held up in
the powerful Ways and Means COM
mittee, particularly H. r. 4l99,
which is the Townsend plan-popu-
larly called the General Welfare Act
of 1887. We quote: Many members
of the House feel it is imperative
that action be taken as soon as pos
sible looking to the relief of a very
serious situation. Today there are
millions of young people who are
not able to find work. An equal or
greater number of aged who want
to retire, are holding jobs that these
young people could fill. Most of
these elderly people would retire if
they could be assured of economic
security. Let us give them that as
surance by liberalizing the present
Social Security law so they can feel
safe in retiring.
1t is a business proposition pure
and simple. The money paid out
in old age assistance would be spent
with the merchant up and down the
street, who in turn would pass the
business to the jobber; then it would
go to the manufacturer and pro-
Queer, and all along the line the
farmer and the laborer would be
benefited. If we can spend billions
for ornaments and a transconti-
mental system of highways, we Ger
tainly should not experience any
great difficulty in financing a pro-
gram that would do much toward
preventing depressions in the future
because it would give the American
people a sustained buying power
that would mean a sustained pros
perity." The Townsend plan, fl
nanced by a 2 per cent transaction
tax which is fair to all, would solve
our economic problem. Visitors are
always welcome at Townsend Club
No. l which meets every Friday
evening at the Y. M. C. A. at 8
o'clock.
