CAN'T
HAPPEN HERE

Surrounded by company experts
who had testified that sit can't
happen here" Bob Brown and Wal
ter Smith, respectively president and
secretary of the Butte Miners Union,
together with other members of the
union, heard doctors testify that they
were in advanced stages of silicosis
and probably condemned to a slow
death if they continued to work in
the mines.
Out of twenty pictures of miners
submitted to the commission of men
who had worked in the Butte mines,
twelve were found to be in various
stages of silicosis. The experts did
not explain this condition.
At a meeting of the state commits
sion on occupational disease held at
the courthouse in Silver Bow county,
testimony on behalf of the company
and the Miners Union was taken on
December 5th and 9Th. The COM
mission was composed of DR.. w. F.
Cogswell of Helena, secretary Of
Montana State Board of Health,
chairman; j. ]. Carrigan of Butte,
general superintendent of mines fol-
the Anaconda Copper Mining Co.
J. D. Graham of Helena, president
of the Montana State Federation OF
Labor; Carl Traurman of Butte,
president of the Mining Association
of Montana, and Denis Mccarthy
member of the Butte Miners Union
of Butte and representative in the
state legislature from Silver Bow
county. This commission was APP
pointed by the governor in accord
ance with a senate resolution passed
at the last session of the legislature
to investigate the facts in relation
to the need of occupational disease
laws in the state of Montana.
The hearing developed into a con-
troversy between experts and engi-
neers in the employ of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co. attempting to
prove that under the conditions
existing in the Butte mines since
1922 it would be impossible to con-
tract silicosis and the Butte Miners
Union with a showing that miner;
were contracting ~silicosis in the Butte
mines.
Whatever the outcome of the hear
ing may BEGINNERS will continue tc
contract silicosis in the Butte mines
if the company have their way, they
will become a burden upon their
families or the state of Montana, il
the Miners Union prevails, the cost
Of their care will be borne by the
company as part of the overhead Of
running the Butte mines.

Planning Board on Which I'm
ions of Butte Are Represented
by Mr.. Deloughery, Max Web
er and John Sloan, Has Gone
on Record Favorably Support
ing the Undertaking.
Protect School Children.


For some time past an overpass
and underpass on the Northern
Pacific tracks in East Butte has been
under discussion by various boards
and agencies. The need for an over
pass and an underpass in this par
ticular district was forcibly brought
to the attention of the public by the
terrible bus and train accident near
Salt Lake City, Utah, recently. This
al happen in Butte. | don't believe
there is another spot in the entire
northwest where there is more bus
traffic ver railroad crossings than
in East Butte. Every Thursday dur
ing the school holidays hundreds of
school children take advantage of
the free rides to Columbia Gardens,
given by the street car company,
now the Butte City Lines and these
buses have to cross the Great North
r tracks twice on every trip and
the Northern Pacific tracks once on
each trip. You say such accidents
can't happen in Butte. Butte has
careful bus drivers, but let's not fool
ourselves. The best policy is to
guard against any such chance mis-
haps. The entire public ought to
flood the State Highway Commits
sion and the Bureau of Public Roads
with urgent appeals for immediate
construction of these overpasses and
underpasses, so as not to duplicate
such terrible accidents as has hap
pened near Salt Lake City recently.
The WPA Planning Board which
is composed of men in all walks of
life, went on record last Monday
urging the immediate construction
of an overpass in this region. The
Building Trades Council Wednesday
night passed a resolution, a copy of
which will be sent to all locals,
urging the highway department to
start Immediately on this project.
We earnestly request that all labor
unions, civic organizations, fraternal
organizations and lodges write in to
the State Highway Department and
appeal to that body for the sake of
public safety and the welfare and
protection of our children, to take
immediate steps to construct this
overpass.
The Highway Commission in
formed a committee last week that
it was possible to construct one of
these passes by their department, so
we are requesting the overpass from
the standpoint of the amount of
labor that will be employed. The
%underpass can be constructed
through a WPA project, and can be
started anytime according to in
formation at hand. We earnestly
solicit the public's support in this
matter.
Everyone act Now-Don't Delay
We must have this work started
soon, as accidents don't wait, they
happen right now. Delay may be
costly to life and property. The
citizens of Silver Bow county pay
around 10B per cent in gas taxes
to the state for highway purposes
and this county is only allotted
around 8 per cent for road construc-
ton in this district, we should get
a little mor consideration from the
Highway Department Let me re-
peat, send in letters, resolutions,
kilograms, personal calls if you wish,
but let's get this overpass started as
0 as possible.

WPA cuts tn 8, ming the jobs of
some 1000 wo in Montana and
almost 1000 ate are meeting
the head-on sition of both Dr.
ganized labo F. of l.. and CLIO
and the ers Alliance. For
the past week safe WPA headquar-
ters on Granite street has seen a
parade of pickets carrying banners
of protest. Emphatic signs announce
that Alliance locals of Butte, Ana
conda, Bozeman, Deer Lodge, Dillon
and Great Falls demand that WPA
rolls be kept intact during this
winter.
Other organizations, including the
Butte Miners Union, Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council, Butte
Transfers and Labor's Non-Partisan
League, joined in conferences with
State Administrator J. Parker to
block any curtailments on WPA
projects now in operation during the
week.
Joint Mass Meeting Held
Sunday afternoon the Butte Miners
Union and Butte Workers Alliance
sponsored a joint protest meeting at
the old Butte high school auditorium.
Speakers on the program were Con-
gresham Jerry J. O'Connell; Frank
Finnegan, Anaconda; Joe Knight,
Anaconda Alliance chairman; Steve
Harvey and Bob Dunaway of the
Butte Miners Union and Butte
Workers Alliance respectively.
Congressman O'Connell made the
outstanding talk.
At least a dozen times during his
short speech the defeated congress
man won deafening applause from
his audience of nearly 300 by re-
marks supporting the federal gov
ernment's work program. 1t vas
quite evident from the meeting that
O'Connell, at all times a staunch
supporter of the New Deal program,
has lost but little of his popularity
in Butte.
Among the issues he covered were:
Significance of Republican victories
in recent elections; Tom MONEYS
impending freedom; unity between
A. F. of L. and CLIO groups; politi-
cal alignments of A. c. M. Co. repre-
s~entatives in Montana; need for an
outstandingly liberal publication in
Montana; and real racial and re-
ligious tolerance in America.
Jerry, in his talk, defended
staunchly the political and religious
rights of Catholics and Jewish people
everywhere and warned that both
were listening to false prophets
when they follow corporation heads
and their political stooges.
At the close of his speech he an
nounced his intention to build a
really liberal, c~rusading, weekly
newspaper to fight corporations of
the state.
Prompt Action Taken
At the first hint of WPA layoffs
in Silver Bow county which came
through the press, the local Workers
Alliance sounded the alarm by or
ganizing visiting committees and by
holding a number of special meet
ings. Understanding that WPA
appropriations made during the last
session of Congress have had an
extraordinarily heavy drain or them
because of the sit-down strike of
Big Business, the tragic hurricane in
New York and New England, nation
wide crop failures in agricultural
areas and other lesser emergencies,
labor and Alliance groups have pre-
vailed on the President to use emer-
gency authority granted him in the
1888 Relief Act and spend its appro-
priations before January 81, 1889
-. one month earlier than Congress
intended.
