Since the Retail Liquor Law became operative in
April, 1887, the State of Montana has collected
$1,130,610 in excise tax and liquor license fees.
This money has helped the Public Welfare Fund
to the amount of $262,475.OO.
The Public School General Fund to the amount of

The State General Fund to the amount of $685.

WHEN THE 'pR0DIGAl'
RETURNS
By DR.. CHARLES STEELE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor
League.

Executive Director, Good Neighbor
League.
Peace in the ranks of Labor
seemed much nearer at the conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor in Houston than at any time
since the CLIO broke away from the
Federation about three years ago.
President William Green spoke
words of welcome to the CLIO, using
the language of the father in the
parable of the Prodigal Son, inviting
the wandering boy" to return to
his fathers house.
But in the Bible story of the re-
turn of the prodigal son, as told in
the Gospel by Luke, it is said that
when the son was yet a great way
off, his father saw him, and a to
meet him, and fell on his neck and
kissed him."
In other words, the father in the
Bible story didn't wait for his son
to come all the way alone, wonder
ing how he would be received but
he met his son halfway, in order
to show the boy that he was more
than welcome, no matter what the
neighbors might think or say.
If the CLIO and the A. F. of L. are
to get together, it will no doubt have

to be upon a somewhat similar basis.
Both will have to forget their pride
and all that has happened in the
past, holding no hard feelings.
The Bible story tells what hap
pened after the prodigal's return.
The father said to his servants:
Bring forth the best robe and put
it on him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet: And
bring hither the fatted calf, and kill
it; and let US eat and be merry"
But while the festivities were 60
ing on the elder son came in from
the field, and heard music and
dancing. And he asked the servants
what had happened. And when they
told him "he was angry and would
not go in" He was sore about the
whole thing, because, he said, he
had always been faithful and loyal
to his father, and he hadn't even
been given a kid, so that he might
have a party with friends of his own.
And that nearly broke up the fes-
tivities.
Let's hope that if and when the
"CIO prodigal" returns to the "a. f.
of L. fathers house." there won't
be any IONS who will be hanging
around the woodshed, saying that
they'll be darned if they'll come and
join the party, because that would
be just too bad all around.

unions do more for employees
than just get them higher wages,
shorter hours and better working
conditions" said Vice President r.
H. Shainwald, who was given ex-
elusive charge of labor negotiations
"They make homogeneous alert to
employees rights and see to it that
high sounding personnel policies are
not just formulated, but are actual
ly carried out.
Employers who have breakdowns
in the execution Of their personnel
policies called to their attention
should be thankful to the unions for
discovering them, because it gives
them the opportunity to correct
abuses and-more important than
that-a chance to sell company poll
cies in a straight forward way and
without the use of so-called insidi-
Gus propaganda
Unions Have Selling Job
Ahead Of Them
unions too have a selling job to
do to their membership. Now they
realize that they have much stronger
appeals than just promises of in
creased wages.
eve have actually demonstrated
at |Emeryville that when unions and
employers realize these things the
finest kind of cooperation results.
Amazing Results With Workers
1T is amazing to see the kind of
work you can get out of a man when
he is well paid, well treated and
understands a firms policies and
problems as well as stockholders and
executives do-after all, their prob
lens are common ones.
'The acid test came recently when
contracts expired and twelve of the
unions automatically renewed their
agreements and the five others nego-
tiated jointly for minor adjust
ments," Shainwald said.
Other Manufacturers Chiseling,
Up to Unions to Stop This
Pabco is competing with some big
international concerns who pay As
to so cents an hour, whereas Pabco
pays from IS cents to 81 an hour for
~non-craft jobs. Work at Pabco is
also steady. Old timers are kept
on and on.
Pabco's personnel policies are the
most liberal in the world and their
contracts with the unions have all
of organized labor's pet clauses.
1t is up to organized labor to keep
these fine conditions and high
standards of living. It can only be
done by buying Pabco products and
~favoring them against all chiselers.
To keep the American standard Of
living high, insist on Pabco products.

Warned on Union
Activity, Metropolitan
Agent Kills Himself

NEW YORK.-(FP)-The execu-
tives of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. can carve a notch in
the stone columns of the home office,
for the company's war against
unionization has cost a life.
Benjamin Finegold, 33-year-old
agent and union leader, was called
into the office of Emanuel Blum
stein, manager of a Brooklyn branch.
He was warned that he would be
fired if he persisted in his activities
as chairman of the local unit of the
Industrial Insurance Agents Union,
affiliated with the United Office and
Professional Workers (CIO).
Leaving the managers office,
Finegold told another agent:
This is too much. It's happened
too often. l can't stand it any more"
The young agent carried about
$4,000 worth of insurance. He went
to his home and sent his wife,
Beatrice, and their 6-year-old son
to the movies. When they returned,
they found his body with a bullet
wound in the head.
Twenty members of Finegold's
union have filed affidavits with the
State Labor Relations Board charg-
ing coercion and intimidation by
Manager Blumstein. To these
charges, Blumstein answered: TITS
a liel It's a contemplate lie! I
hadn't talked with Finegold for two
weeksl"
Asked for his comment on the
shooting, Pres. Leroy A. Lincoln of
Metropolitan said that he hadn't
heard about it. The facts about
Blumstein's intimidation were re-
cited to him.
"You car put that down for a lie
right away" he declared. 81 don't
care to make any statement
Despite the official finding of Asst.
Medical Examiner Edward Nidish
that Finegold's death was suicidal,
an effort may be made to establish
a case of murder or accident-a
theory that would whitewash the
Metropolitan at the expense of an
additional $4,000 payment for the
double indemnity benefit. A brother
of the dead agent was asked if Fine
gold had left a suicidal note. How
could he leave a note when he was
killed and the gun was on a table,
10 feet from the body?" the brother
demanded.
Finegold's funeral was attended
by score of unionists, including
Pres. Lewis Merrill of the UOPW.
The union has sent kilograms to
Pres. Roosevelt and Gov. Lehman,
charging the Metropolitan with
moral responsibility for the young
mans death.

DENVER TO HAVE
WAGE-H0UR ACT
HEADQUARTERS
Regional Office Will Have Juris-
diction Over Operations in
Six States.

NbthFtt uSss wv ny AO~of
Denver is to have still another
regional office, one for the admins
tration of the federal wage-hour act
which goes into effect Oct. "a, it was
announced in Washington Tuesday.
Elmer F. Andrews, national wage
hour administrator, said, according
to dispatches, that the Denver office
will have jurisdiction over Colorado,
New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho and Utah.
Eleven other regional offices will
be established in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Richmond, Cleveland,
Chicago, Birmingham or Atlanta,
Minneapolis, Kansas City, Houston
and San Francisco.
Forces to man the regional offices
will be named as quickly as possible,
Andrews said, but because of lack
of funds only skeleton Stats will be
put on duty at first.
The only appointment Andrews
announced was that of an assistant
to himself to be in charge of pub
licity. He will be Harold D. Jacobs,
former managing editor of a Santa
Barbara, Calf, newspaper.
Under the wage hour law, work.
ers in many industries involved in
interstate commerce may not be
worked more than A hours a week,
the first year after the law goes into
effect, without being paid time and
a half for overtime. A minimum
wage of Is cents an hour also is pre-
scribed at the start.
Some Mines Engage in Interstate
Commerce
Some mines undoubtedly are en-
gagged in interstate commerce, Pal
mer said, and if the wage-hour adj
ministration should follow the rul-
ings of the national labor relations
board, virtually all mines would fall
into the interstate class.
I'VE are trying to work out some
thing which will be agreeable to the
administration and the mining in
dustry," he said. last week I called
on Administrator Andrews in Wash
ington, but he was unwilling to make
any decision at that time"
Leaders in a number of Denver
industries said that in the absence
of any rulings by Andrews, it will
be impossible in many cases to de-
termine whether certain businesses
come within the definition of inter
state commerce without going into
court.
Some Denver concerns which are
doubtful if they would come under
the act are planning to make small
adjustments in hours SO they will be
within the law regardless of whether
it applies to them, it was found.
Industrial executives who have
studied the act say it apparently ex-
empts employers of agricultural la
Dor, most retail establishments and
concerns engaged in processing farm
and dairy products.

business representative OF COrfugat
Workers Union, No. 1872 and Harry
c. Gilmore, secretary, head the drive
which will be nationwide, according
to union labor reports.
The Paraffine Companies, Inc,
makers of Pabco Products, pays the
highest wages in the world for the
lines it makes. II has the only 100
per cent union made linoleum in the
world. Most Of its competitors are
either unorganized or have company
unions. Worse than this their wage
rates in most cases are 20 to 30 per
cent less than Pabco's; and some
times 40 per cent less.
Best Working Conditions
Mean Best Goods
At Paraffine the best working
conditions govern. Vacations with
pay and company-paid insurance are
given the employees. The unions
have a closed shop and seniority
provisions with this fair concern.
Paraffine was also the first major
paint maker to recognize the paint
makers union.
If union men and women want to
keep such high wages-base rate for
common labor is So a day and steady
work-it is up to them to see that
Pabco products are bought. With
low wage rates paid by Pabco's com
petitors it is up to the unions to
protect these good conditions and
good rates and to keep the standard
of living up.
Price chiseling by Pabco's COM
petitors is a serious problem which
must be overcome by organized la
Dor. These competing shops with
their lower rates, have lower costs,
and cut prices on Pabco wherever
they can. Naturally with the good
conditions and closed shop-Pabco's
quality is the best whether it is limo
leum, roofing or paints-because
good union workmen well treated,
take pride in their work and make
it the best. One example of superb
GRITTY worked out with union men
is the new easy to lay features of
linoleum.
Easiest to Lay LinoIeum
Worked Out by Unions
The ease of laying Pabco linoleum
is becoming more and more known
to the members of the linoleum lay
ers' union. Pabco linoleum lays
much easier and therefore costs less
to lay than other linoleum because
of this, union linoleum mechanics
say. That way, the linoleum layers
get more jobs and make more
money. The big international union
is beginning to favor Pabco more and
more because it is the only union
made goods and because of the quail
ity of the material and Pabco's good
working conditions.
Special representations are going
to be made to this international by
union officials on the merits of Pab-
co linoleum and Pabco felt-base
floor covering, and they should in
tensively support Pabco. At the
next convention resolutions for
nationwide union support of Pab-
co.'s products will be presented.
The Pabco company is so friendly
to labor that it is to be remembered
its vice president r. H. Shainwald
said in the papers:
Employer lauds unions as
new agreements signed; says
both anxious to cooperate with
business"
Renewal of union contracts for
another year has confirmed n en-
ployer's opinion that unions offer
members many more benefits than
just wage increases, and that unions
want to cooperate with business,
according to the much publicized
experiences of the Pabco-P araffine
Companies, Inc.
