History Of ka|ispeII's
Fire Dept. Relief Assn.
Continued from Page 81

respondents to the brief were made
trustees, the act being legalized by
the district court. They then filed
a motion in the same court to quash
the proceedings and the motion was
granted, thus dismissing the case.
Judge j. E. lockwood presided in
the case. Eugene B. Foot was the
attorney for the volunteers.
Following the dismissal action, the
members of the paid department
appealed to the state supreme court,
and to date no decision has been
rendered. By observation and in
quiry | have come to the conclusion
that inasmuch as the final decision
in the matter will establish a prece-
dent for other such possible actions
in all second-class cities of Montana,
much unnecessary expense and the
withholding of the funds in question
(Which are impounded by court
order), could have been avoided, had
Judge lockwood seen fit to render
a decision rather than to quash the
proceeding and thus leave an all
important question merely hanging
fire" Rumored comment has it the
good Judge acted as he did in the
matter because he felt the volunteers
had an equity in the fund. A closer
scrutiny of the law would have
shown that all just claims against
the fund must be recognized and
studied by the officers of the relief
association, and honored upon being
properly approved by that body,
hence regardless of which way the
decision would have gone had the
merits of the case been heard locally,
the claimants interested in the relief
fund would have received fair treat
ment regardless of their status as
firemen, be they paid department
members or volunteers.
Many have been the stories pre-
and con on this matter, but Labor''
chief interest in the outcome of the
case is based upon the fact that i
arises from the practical application
of a labor law passed by the Mon
tana legislative assembly March 10
1887, known as House Bill No. 397
and appearing in the statutes a
Chapter 200, Revised Codes of Mon
tana. Montana does not have a grea
many laws protecting labor, ant
many are the laxities in the few W,
have, it seems to me therefore tina
it behooves all members of organizet
, labor to urge an early decision OF
the part of the Montana suprem
court in this case, and quite naturall,
we desire a decision favoring tn
; paid department of Kalispell whicl
will affect all paid departments an
all local Fire Fighters Union
r throughout the state and will clea
q up once and for all the validity 0
the law.
A elean-out and favorable deci
: sion in this case before Novembe

and counties.
In deciding to buy lot to use as

consisting of Mayor Henry T. Powell
Aldermen T. w. Ellis and F. B. Hight
and gave the body power to act in
making a purchase.
