MISS0ULA UNIONS ARE
CAUSTIC IN kSSAIL!NG|
CONTRACTORS

M~ISSOULA.-A strike has been
in progress since December 20, 1887,
on the St. Regis bridge work, be-
cause the contractor stubbornly re-
fuses to recognize both the unions at
Superior and Missoula. An out-of-
state contractor bid the job in much
lower than any Montana contractor,
apparently with the intention of i'm
porting cheap labor to do the work.
It is generally recognized that work
on a bridge job requires mostly
skilled or semi-skilled men, very
few common laborers are used.
Quite a number of truck drivers are
being used on the st. Regis job. The
chief objection of the contractor to
this particular project is the wage
scale of the steel construction work
ers. Neither does he want to pay
the scale to the pile driving crews.
The regular wage scale for this type
Of work is $1.25 an hour and it is
reported that the contractor is try
ing to ehisel this down to rs cents
per hour.
This job should call the attention
of all Montana people and especially
the unions to the menace of per-
hitting contractors from out of the
state bidding on public and private
work in Montana. Very little fault
has been found with Montana con-
tractors. These other firms come in
here and bring with them the low
wages and miserable conditions of
many of the other states and Wash
ington contractors are notorious in
this regard. From good authority it
is learned that IS men were import
ed from Spokane by this contractor
and that only three men were used
from Mineral County.
The contractor on this job has ap-
piled to the Bureau of Public Roads
for an extention of time, alleging
that he has been held up on account
of labor trouble and bad weather.
The bureau should recognize that
Montana has had the finest kind of
winter weather this year than the
past decade. Not only that but men
in the county are in sore need of the
work. The Transfers Union at
Superior, a branch of Local 448 at
Missoula, has tied up the job since
the strike was inaugurated. They
are determined that it is going to
be held up until the work is 100
per cent organized for all the crafts.
Missoula extends to all its friends
and supporters in Mineral County
their sincere appreciation for help
given them in their effort to make
better conditions on this job. Bust
ness men in this area now realize
that the more money the people
make the more money they will
have to spend. In contrast to the
st. Regis job is the one at Nimrod,
about 35 miles east of Missoula. This
contract is being done with all Mon
tana labor, and every one is receiv-
ing union wages and working under
union conditions, James Crick is
the contractor.
1t is expected that within a short
time the underpass at Missoula will
be let soon. Missoula people are
hopeful that the work will be given
to a Montana contractor who has
been taught in union principles and
who will not try to chisel on the
workers. The name of the %contrac-
tor on the st. Regis job is George
Lyon.

PHRASE

In these days of laying waste
cities and the inhabitants
thereof, the term cannon fodder is
something of an understatement. It's
like the difference between fodder
for one pillow horse and a whole
drove of elephants.

rely in support of legislation
which benefit the masses.
A bri prospect of the political
situation In the past will not be
amiss. Heretofore labor organiza-
tons have refrained from taking a
too prominent part in state politics
and in some cases have left the Sc
lection Of representatives and sena-
tors to the entrenched interests or
to certain selfish individuals who
have waxed fat at public expense.
In the campaign of 1894, there
was organized in Silver Bow Coun-
ty a Farmer-Labor group whose
avowed intention was to pick a SEN
ator and representatives who would
truly represent the will of the peo-
Pile. This organization chose as its
candidates men from the various
labor unions and two from farm
organizations. The slate was en-
dorsed by the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council and all other or
CARNATIONS affiliated with the group.
But unfortunately many labor or
CARNATIONS did not take this move
ment seriously enough to refrain
from asking individual endorse
ments of individuals who aspired
for these same offices. Due to this
fact, the original slate was broken;
but the five original Farmer-Labor
candidates who were elected had
enough influence upon the others
so that Silver Bow County was rep
resented by nine men who returned
with a batting average of 100 per
cent for labor legislation. The
others had their usual rs per cent.
Becoming flushed with the sue
cess of their previous experiment,
and believing that a similar cam
paign would carry on of its own
momentum, the labor unions in the
campaign of 1886 became careless
