GRAHAM REPORTS ON
8 HOUR AMENDMENT
CONTINUED from Page y


or flow out of an amendment to the
constitution. To attempt to initiate
a measure to enact a recall law be-
fore amending the constitution was
only a waste of money, time and
effort. The speaker also showed
how difficult it is to effect any re-
call of state officers. He urged the
central labor council to be cautious
and to thoroughly look into the legal
aspects of the Great Falls proposal
before taking any definite action.
Supreme Court Praised
The Supreme Court was compli-
mented by MFR. Graham for its re-
cent decision declaring the clerks
eight-hour law constitutional. This
particular matter was brought into
the Supreme Court on that phase Of
the present law which eliminates a
town of $500 population or under
from the operation of the law. It
was commended by the defendant
that the law was unconstitutional.
The results of the passage of the
eight-hour constitutional amend
ment at the last election, is now
being felt, according to Mr.. Graham,
and it was upon this particular law
that the decision of the Supreme
Court was passed.
The eight-hour constitutional
amendment has also now made con-
stitutional the eight-hour laws re-
lating to %quarries, gravel pits, &C.
ment plants, sugar factories, bus
drivers, the construction of hydro
electric plants, and women.
Eight-Hour Amendment Has Far
Reaching Effects
The eight-hour constitutional.
amendment has far-reaching effect
for the working people.
Compensation Law Attacked
Mr.. Graham said while no cut,
in wages have been made in Mon
tana, unemployment was wide
spread and part of this unemploy
ment resulted from the operation o
the unemployment compensation
law. He said that merchants anC
other employing interests were lay
ing off workers in order to avoit
the payment of unemployment
taxes.

cal interest with the working PEG

PUBLIC WELFARE COMMITTEE
CONDEMNED

The relief committee Of the Cen
trail Labor body submitted a writ
ten report describing the unfair and
unjust way in which the local Pub
lie Welfare Commission operated.
The report also recommended that
a defense committee be appointed,
for the purpose of acquainting the
labor and farm organizations of the
state with the true facts regarding
the conduct of the relief admins

STUDENTS WORK FOR NOTHING

Vice President Nelson described a
trip that he and President Stein
metz had made to the Lewistown
Trades and Labor Council last Tues
day in response to a request from
George Mackay. According to Mr.
Nelson, the meeting was well at
tended. He discovered that Lewis
town is in sore need of organization
and more unions could be created
in the community. The Cooks and
Walters Union and the Topographic
cal Union are apparently the back
bone of the labor movement in Fer
gus County. The most interesting
feature of their visit was the dis
covery that Lewistown stores are
using approximately 40 high school
children under the guise of voca-
tional training, but that the stu
dents are not receiving any COM
%pensation. Some of the students
attended the meeting of the Council
and were much interested in the
discussion. Before Nelson and
Steinmetz left, 25 signatures had
been secured to obtain a charter for
a clerks union in Lewistown.

Nothing Secret

AS a reader Of the Washing

from nearby cities, I can't help
but notice this hullaballoo
about Nazi spies. I find this
extremely amusing even though
so-called spies never do a ma
ton any good.
We seem to take it hard that
there are some spies around.
Well, what of it? They can
find out all they want to know
from photographs, news articles,

Glad He Didn't Win

I am to report that I didn't
Craw a lucky ticket in the
Dublin sweepstakes again this
year.
I have never won anything,
yet, but there is always the
danger of doing so, as I buy a
ticket every year.
Maybe you don't follow this
line of reasoning, but look: Sup
pose I won? Then I'd have all
that trouble and bother with
the promoters and the tax col
lectors. And in all likelihood,
I'd never win again, in a life

lis and West Point, and I be-
lieve I should have the right to

Why should it be such a

cal influence, to get the tickets.
INDIGNANT.
The Washington times., 1938-10-25

far-seeing person, has got this
marvellous invention tightly
Sewed up so that it will not come
into general use until the
World Fair is over. That, to
my mind, is grossly unfair, both
to the inventor and to the gen.
eral public. The respirator
should be made available to
everybody who thinks they may
need one-and that should be
done at once. The advantages
are tremendous and the disad-
VantageS are none.
Consider, first, the Govern
ment. It has taxed the liquor
trade to about the limit Of what
it can carry-and is still hunt
ing for other means of taxation.
In Mr.. Whalen's mask a goug.
ing avenue is opened up which
would highly increase Federal
receipts from liquor taxation.
An extremely conservative es-
innate would be that a possessor
of q Whalen mask can get drunk
four times over the period pre-
viously required for one binge
and recovery.
To prove just how conserva.
tive this prophecy is, one has
only to present the evident fact
that man or woman who has
been drunk four separate and
distinct times on the day before
will be as fresh as a daisy on the
morning after and can roll up
another four binges with the
greatest of ease and enjoyment.
It should be pointed out right
here that this estimate of quad
ruple increase in liquor con-
sumption is made on a per diem
basis. It would not be fair to
say that the business Of getting
drunk could go on day after day
for every day in the year. But
if we put it down at once a week
that would give rough 200 per
cent increase in consumption
over the year and, of course, a
corresponding hitch in available
tax money.
THE WHALEN masks should
E be made standard equip
ment in all hotels, bars, golf
clubs, ocean liners, foreign en-
baSsieS, police stations and
railroad dining cars. There
should be at least one in every
newspaper office. Indeed, I
think that every business con-
Germ should have one in these
days of MONDAY lushing by the
boss and by the stenographer.
And, lastly, every housewife
should keep one in the medi.
cine closet.
No more headaches, no more
remorse, no more heebyjeebies,
no more tigers, no more lions;
and gone forever will be that
beautiful alibi covering all sorts
of monkey business:
Darling, I had few too
many. And didn't want you to
see me that way. So I went to
a Turkish BATH"
With this invention will come
the crushing retort::
"Oh, yeah? And what did you
do with your sober mask?
put it in your pocket when you
left home"

Eduard Benes has sneaked out
of Czechoslovakia fearing the
wrath of his people now that
they realize the full extent of
his selfishness. He was ready
to sacrifice a million lives just
to satisfy his own lust for power
over oppressed peoples. It is
reported that this hated figure
is planning to come to America.

ties keep out such international
trouble makers as this man
whom Mr.. Hitler so accurately

Governors on Cars

Now that the new automo-
bileS are being announced,
there is one thing I should like
to see installed on every car,
that is a governor that would
hold down the speed to the
legal limit.
Virginia has, believe, the
highest speed limit in the coun-
try, IS miles an hour, and Ger.
tainIy that is fast enough-too
fast in my opinion.
But why should not the
manufacturers put a governor
on cars so they could not go
faster than that, excepting Of
course police cars, ambulanceS
and others that might have
need to go faster.
If this were done the job Of
the police would be easier, as
they could overtake cars that
now 60 100 miles an hour to
escape the law.
I hope the day will come
when this method Of making
cars obey the law will be in
stalled. Z. M. F.
