Union Adopts Resolut slat-

.lat-

Al Mcleod, Republical. .ndidate
for sheriff and a member of the
Blacksmiths Union, personally asked
for the endorsement of the Central
Labor Council last Tuesday. In his
talk to the delegates he reeited the
methods under which his blacksmith
shop had been conducted during the
last 30 years. Mr.. Mcleod empha-
sized that the workers produce the
wealth for the boss and that they
should be compensated according to
the wealth they produce and not
according to any set figure of wages.
He reminded the delegates and the
unions that at various time, in the
past 80 years, in the conduct of his
business, he had paid as much as
SIS a week over the regular black
smiths scale.
The speaker again pledged his
loyalty to organized labor, and said
that he had always been its friend
and would continue to be regardless
of whether he was elected or de-
feated. Mr.. Mcleod assured the
unions that he was under no obliga-
ton to anyone lest it be organized
labor.
A statement from the Missoula
County Trades and Labor Council
concerning the strike at st. Regis
over a bridge job was filed, the mat
ter having already been noticed by
the Montana Federation of Labor
and published in the Montana Labor
News.
An action growing out Of a report
of Mr.. Deloughery, member of the
County Planning Board, placed the
Trades and Labor Council az quail
ifiedly in favor of the erection of
a civic center. There was some dis
cussion on this subject and a recon-
mendation for its endorsement was
curtailed by the advice of some of
the delegates who feel the unions
should be more fully acquainted
with the proposal. A charge that
the government was supplying all
the money to erect a proposed CEN
ter in Cascade county was denied.
The committee having in charge
a complaint against the School
Board for refusal to grant the Com
munists the use of the high school,
reported that the next meeting of
the board will be held Wednesday,
September %, at which time repre-
~sentatives from the Trades and La
Dor Council and the Miners would
appear and protest the action.
Another committee appointed last
week to draw up a suitable resolu-
ton relating to the dismissal of Mr.
Edward O'Byrne as Labor Commits
sioner, sent in a resolution as fol-
lows:

Silver Bow Trades & Labor Council:

MINERS CONDEMN
FALSE ACCUSATIONS

During the past week the officers
of the Butte Miners Union were in
formed by several people that one
of the PIP boys of the 1894 strike,
Dean O'Leary is the name given, was
cooking at the Crown bar restaurant
on East Park st.
Upon investigation We found that
the Dean O'Leary that works in the
Crown bar cafe never worked be-
hind the fence in 1884 as he and his
brother were operating the Elks
service station situated at the corner
of Idaho and Galena streets, during
the year of 1884.
We also found that this young man
has a very good union record. The
only solution we could arrive at
was, this young mar had been mis-
taken for someone else.
Unless some definite proof can be
produced by persons making the
accusations it is suggested that de-
famation of character in the future
should not be expressed.

Labor Unions
Install New Charters
ED O'BYRNE PRAISED

Local No. 371, International Union
Of Operating Engineers, has been
chartered in Kalispell with a mem
bership of thirty-two now enrolled.
The charter was installed Satur-
day evening, Sept. "a, by o. w.
Carter, representative of the Engi-
neers in the northwestern states and
British Columbia. The following
officers were elected:
Keith Denton, president; Clarence
Ufford, vice president; Harold Cox,
recording secretary; Charles Wag-
ener, financial secretary; Gerald
Koenig, treasurer; Harold Siblerud,
Charles Fulton, Freeman Connors,
trustees; Charles Thompson, con-
ductor; John Paola, guard; Bruce
Walker, Murray Switzer, Homer
McClarty, auditors.
The new local union, organized by
Perry S. Melton, secretary of the
Kalispell central council, brings the
total of charters granted by A. F. of
L. affiliates since November, 1887, to
twelve, indicating that a great
amount of work has been done in
that community in a comparatively
short time.
President James D. Graham of
the Montana State Federation Of
Labor paid very high compliment
to the progress made in Kalispell,
on his recent visit there.
Charter for the new local of Roof
ers, organized by Joe Dzivi, was also
installed Sept. "a, Jim Curtis being
elected president and Sam Leighty,
secretary. Names of the other Off
GERS r not available.
The plumbers are the only major
building trades craft yet to be or
ganized in Kalispell, but it would
seem that the energetic campaign
in Flathead county is bound to ac-
complish most anything attempted,
so no doubt the plumbers of Kalis-
pell and the neighboring towns will
take a very active interest in organ
lied labor in the near future. Espe-
cially in view of the fact that several
large schoolhouse jobs within the
jurisdiction Of the Kalispell council
will be manned by union labor.
The second edition Of the Flathead
Labor Journal appeared this week
and shows every promise of being a
| successful sheet and a credit to the
labor movement of Montana. The
issue was dedicated to Ed O'Byrne
who, in his capacity as State Com
missioner Of Labor, was being OF
great service to the working people
of Flathead county before being re-
moved from office by Gov. Ayers
under the powers granted him by
terms of H. B. 85. Those interested
in supporting the efforts of organ
lied labor in Flathead county have
been invited to subscribe to the
Flathead Labor Journal at the rate
of one dollar a year or fifty cents
for six months and to make use OF
its columns in advertising. The
circulation is countrywide through
the medium of union members CO.
operating in distribution in Columbia
Falls, Half Moon, Somers, Whitefish,
Big Fork and Kila.
Carrying the message of organized
labor to the public at large in the
dignified manner which seems to be
the editorial policy of the paper, will
no doubt give other labor publica-
tons an inspiration to continue their
efforts to demand respect for work.

cade Trades and Labor Assembly

most the entire movement Of Great

favoring the measure. It follows:
Resolution
WHEREAS, there will appear on
the Montana general election ballot,
November 8, 1888, a measure desig-
mated as Referendum Number Forty,
the same being a law enacted by
the 1897 Montana legislative assem-
bly, l~egalizing the sale of liquor by
private enterprise, and
WHEREAS, such law has created
legal and gainful employment to no
less than six thousand Montana
people, most of them at union wages,
and
WHEREAS, the revenues from
Referendum Number Forty have
been but a diversion from the
pockets of racketeers into the treas
uries of city, county, and state, where
they are now devoted to such worthy
social institutions as social security
and public welfare funds, common
schools and teachers retirement
funds and various m~eritorious civic
projects, and
WHEREAS, the revenues from
Referendum Number Forty have
precluded the levying of at least a
five mill tax on the homes and prop
critics of laborers, and
WHEREAS, the defeat of Refer
endum Number Forty would adj
versely affect the employment OF
labor in Montana, and
WHEREAS, defeat of Referendum
Number Forty would deprive the
state of Montana, and the city of
Great Falls Of needed revenues and
would restore b~ootlegging with its
attendant evils, and
WHEREAS, Referendum Number
Forty is NOT a moral issue,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED by the Cascade County

recommends to labor and to labor's
friends that they vote to approve
