Lumber and Sawmil1 Workers IN
ion. After the union was explained
by Representative C. A.. Paddock,
thirty-five men signed up and a
charter was ordered. This group of
new members have taken the re-
sponsibility of unionizing the entire
plant and at this writing over 100
applications have been signed. The

among them being Perry Melton,
secretary of the Kalispell Central

Oil, Kalispell; Otto Schultz, presi-
dent of Lumber and Sawmill Local
No. 2773, Kalispell, and Tom Jordan,
president of Lumber and Sawmill
Local No. 2797, Columbia Falls.
The labor movement is making big
strides in northwest Montana, Lum-
Der and Sawmill Workers Unions at
Libby, Columbia Falls, Kalispell and
Somers will serve all workers in the
industry in this section and efforts
will now be put forth to make all
operations 100 per cent union. Work
ing agreements are being negotiated
with the Stoltze Land and Lumber
Company and with the Kalispell
Lumber Company and the union and
the employers are together on every
point except the union shop clause.
The workers will accept nothing less
than union shop agreements as over
80 per cent r union members at
Columbia Falls and at Kalispell the
operation is 100 per cent union.
Nels Weaver was elected as tenn
porary president of the new local at
Somers and L. E. Ferry was elected
as temporary secretary.
At the regular meeting of Colum-
bia Falls Local No. 1897 held August
%, at which the membership was
present nearly 100 per cent, the
agreement which the local is nego-
tiating with the Stoltze Land and
Lumber Company was explained by
Representative C. A. Paddock and
the membership voted on it clause
by clause, the union and the en-
ployer are now together on every
thing except the union shop clause
and the membership is insisting on
this clause as a part of the agree
ment. Present at the meeting were
G. B. Baker, local representative of
the A. f. of L.; A. L. Chaplin, presi-
dent of the Kalispell Central Trades
and Labor Council, and Otto Schultz,
president of the Lumber and Saw
mill Workers Local No. 2773, Kalis-
pell. An invitation was extended to

the visitors the local voted 100 per
cent to affiliate and four delegates
were elected to represent the local
in that body. Eighteen locals are

AUTHORITY ON COOP
MEDICINE ENGAGED 10
SPEAK At CONVENTION

The Farmers Unions r planning
to bring DR.. M. Shadid, medical di-
rector and sponsor of the Coorera-
tive Community Hospital at Elk City,
Oklahoma, to Montana within The
near future. DR.. Shadid is we'll
known for his interest in cooperative
medicine. He is also an author of
known repute.
At this moment when the Miners
Union is so interested in setting up
a cooperative or socialized hospital
association, it would be well to have
DR.. Shadid come to Butte and make
an address and confer with the
groups here. The medical profess
sion is h~ysterical over the imminence
of the farmers and organized labor
establishing cooperative hospital
groups. 1t takes away from them
the right of exploiting the people
which they have held so jealousy
over the past several hundred years
or since the first medicine man
chanted his weird songs before the
fireplace.
Cooperative disqualification is COM
ing and even the reactionary doctors
can't help it. The unions should
cooperate, they should help bring
DR.. Shadid to Butte.
The Farmers Union has made def
mite arrangements to bring DR..
Shadid to Great Falls, October 20.
All unions wishing to help should
send contributions to Farmers Union,

The main address of the day was
delivered by State Labor Commits
sioner Ed O'Byrne who advocated
closer cooperation between the Go

ward nationwide labor unity.
Pat Foley, a member of Hodcar-

Raymond Gray Of Transfers Local
No. sc, final speaker on the program,
traced the evolution of Labor Day as
a national holiday. Oregon, he said,
was the first state to set aside a day
in recognition of labor in 1887. While
other states followed Oregon's lead
in establishing state holidays it was
not until 1929 that Congress made
Labor Day a legal national holiday.
