81. Regis Job Is
Thorn in The Side
OF Organized Labor

MISSOULA-There is a job at
st. Regis, Montana. The contract
was let to Mr.. George Lyons, some
time last fall. The contractor i'm
ported men from Spokane to do this
work. The Truck Drivers Union at
Superior, Montana, demanded Mon
tana men be put on that work. The
outcome of it was that the unions
declared the job unfair, and put
pickets on the job. This job has
been closed for eight months.
On September 18th, the contractor
started operations with non-union
men. The union men from Superior
and St. Regis put out their picket
line again. The work was stopped
again until on Thursday, Mr.. Lyons
imported into St. Regis a group of
strike breakers from out of the state.
The strike breakers outnumbered the
pickets two to one, and charged the
pickets and broke up the picket line.
On Friday morning they again
charged the pickets, but the pockets
held the line until two o'clock in
the afternoon. Through the efforts
of the engineer in charge, the pickets
were denied the right to picket on
the right-of-way. Therefore the
strike breakers worked a few hours
on Friday afternoon. The count was
taken and found that 80 men came
down the hill with tools. Fifteen
men went to work. The remainder
were there just to see that the other
strike breakers were protected. The
union in Superior called on the Mis-
soula unions for assistance. Satur-
day morning at 7:30 there were $50
pickets on the line. The unions were
instructed by the sheriff that they
were allowed to picket the right-of-
way peacefully. There was no
picket line broken Saturday. There
has been no work done to date.
1t was one of the finest union
picnics that has ever been held in
western Montana. The pickets were
assisted by their wives and daugh-
tiers. At noon the wives and daugh-
tiers of the pickets served dinner to
$50 men.
Organized labor in western Mon
tana is determined that this job shall
go straight.
It might be interesting for the
Miners in Butte to know that John
c. Plenger, the notorious scab, is on
this job.
