an appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, the Hatmakers
Union lost. The courts of Connect
cut and the Supreme Court based
their decision on the Taft Vale case
decided by the Law Lords in Lon
don.
Growing out of the telephone
strike and boycott the Lindsay Fruit
Company secured an injunction in
the court at Billings against the
Montana Federation of Labor, the
Billings Clerks Union, Yellowstone
Trades and Labor, Red Lodge
Miners Union, the Livingston Trades
and Labor Council, and Federal La
Dor Union, the Helena Trades and
Labor Assembly and a number of
other unions. The Montana Fed
GRAFTON of Labor fought the injunc-
ton order in court and lost, APP
pealed the case to the Supreme
Court.
To the glory of Montana, the Su.
preme Court gave a decision legal
izing the right to strike, picket, and
boycott in Montana in spite of the
decision given by the Supreme
Court in the Danbury Hatters case
and the Law Lords in the Taft Vale
decision; thereby ending in Mon
tana as far as state courts are con-
cerned the issuance of injunctions
against unions during strikes. JUS
tice Holloway wrote the opinion, the
other judges concurring. The late
Senator Walsh and Col. Nolan were
attorneys for the unions.
During the Butterick and tele-
phone strike and boycott the Mon
tana Federation of Labor spent over
$4,000 in payment of fines, court
costs, and attorney fees.
In 1912 a temporary injunction
was issued in a Butte court against
the Musicians Union during a strike,
the local judge was disqualified, a
Helena judge acting, who refused
to make the injunction permanent,
dismissing the temporary injunction
on the grounds that the supreme
court of Montana would override
him if he made the injunction
permanent. This was the last in
junction against a labor union on
strike issued by a state court in
Montana.
Injunctions during strikes were
issued by federal judges in Montana
up to the Railway Shop Crafts strike
in 1922, since then Congress has
enacted a law clipping the wings of
injunction judges and federal court
injunctions against strikers are a
thing of the past.

of these elements. 1t is a Montana

The Other Side


Now, let us look at another side
of the situation. While the things
mentioned above were taking place,
the Miners Union rallied all the
other unions working for the ACM
to the defense of our Wages and
Hours.
At the same time the union was
presenting a strong case for silicosis
compensation before the Occupa-
tional Disease Commission.
Now we find the company intent
on going back to the forty-eight
hour week or maintaining the pres
ent state of wages and hours. They
are also again trying to set up the
one-man system and bring back the
middle the-shift blasting.
What Does 1t All Mean?
Now let's size up the whole situa-
ton again. We know that the ACM
has used labor spies (finks) in the
past. We know that an election
contest and the wide difference be-
tween the two counts on the first
vote tends to shake the confidence
of the ordinary union member in
his leadership and in the organiza-
ton. Was this engineered by labor
spies and designated to do just that?
Could Smith have tempered with
the ballots himself? Right at q
time when the union initiates the
Wage-Hour fight, too. Collection Of
back dues after December LIST also
created suspicion and distrust. Was
this, too, the work of a company
stooge, attempting to disrupt a union
becoming too militant? And finally
after all the dissension and distrust
caused by his former actions, Smith
leaves town over night with over
$1,000 of the unions money. Coulo
this fellow have been a company
fink? Well, the chain of cireum-
stances looks too advantageous t.
the company to have Gust hap
pened." Many another labor spy
has conducted himself in much the
same manner and managed to car
the climax by getting away witt
the whole union treasury. And II
so doing, these other finks managed
to create distrust of the union jus.
