A Few Old Sayings to Think Over

Actions speak louder than words ever do;
You can't eat your cake, and hold on to it, too.
When the cat is away, then the mice play;
Where there is a will, there is always a way.
There's no use crying DER milk that is split;
No accuser is needed by conscience of guilt.
There must be some fire wherever is smoke;
The pitcher goes oft to the well till it's broke.
By rogues falling out honest men get their
due;
Whoever it fits, he must put on the shoe.
All work and no play will make Jack a dull
boy;
There ne'er was a pleasure without its alloy.
A half-loaf is better than no bread at all;
And pride always goeth before a sad fall.
Fast bind and fast find, have two strings to
your bow;
Contentment is better than riches, we know.
The Devil finds work for hands idle to do;
A miss is as good as a mile is to you.
A man by his company always is known;
Who lives in a glass house should not throw
a stone.
Speech may be silver, but silence is gold;
There's never a fool like the fool who is old
SELAH.

Christmas 1888

The closing weeks of 1888 find the whole
world in turmoil, arming in frenzied haste,
affronted by mass prosecutions such as we
thought indicative only of barbarism, and
by the indignities which are the lot of hui
man beings on many fronts. All Of this is
the background for our recurring celebra-
ton of the holy festival marking the birth
day of Him who was born to give the world
a new commandment "That we love one
another"
In the nearly two thousand years since
that Teacher was crucified, the world has
made some progress in understanding this
commandment and applying it to our indi-
vidual living. But in our group relations,
either on a local or a national basis, we have
failed to follow the principles Of this com
mandment to our great distress and loss. In
the field of international relations we still
follow the ethical standards of IAN eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth" and we deal
with offenders in the spirit of vengeance.
AS we try to lead individual lives in accord
with the new commandment and permit our
group relations to follow the rule of the
jungle, we are torn by the struggle between
our two standards. We have before us the
problem of making our whole world conform
to our highest conceptions of human life and
to assure freedom and dignity in living to
all men. Under democratic government we
have made progress in establishing political
freedom and equality before the law. We
have yet to establish freedom and equal
opportunity in our economic relations. We
have made some progress but we have much
yet to do before mutual respect and CO.
operation exist everywhere between man
agements and unions, the various establish
ments in a trade association, and between
various industries working together in a
national planning council with organized
labor and governmental leadership.
The task involved is a challenge to intellec-
tual capacity and real belief in possibilities
of good will between men, but nc other cru
SADIE required more faith and devotion to
high purpose. It is an imperative task if we
would preserve our democratic way of life
SO that men may live together in peace and
justice with opportunity for progress.
Christmas, 1888, should be a day of dedi-
cation to peace and good will, with renewed
determination to establish standards of
morality for group life and activity.

Thirty Hour Week

The Houston Convention again made the
thirty-hour week a primary objective. Deep
concern was manifested that in spite Of Her
culean efforts and expenditure Of vast sums
of money since the depression the number
of unemployed has never dropped below
$780, 900. In the meantime since 1929 the
productivity Of those workers employed has
increased "a per cent. On the other hand,
average hours Of work for all workers have
been under forty, dropping to 343 hours dur
ing the first seven months of 1888.
Labor cannot longer temper its demands
for the thirty-hour week in the face Of what
seems to be permanent inability to find work
for over seven millions of wage-earners at
existing standards. The Convention there
fore urged upon all organizations to renew
efforts for the establishment of the thirty
hour week both by voluntary agreement and
by legislation. The United States cannot
afford to withhold opportunities to work from
its citizens.
Montana labor news., 1938-12-22
What the Union Does for the
Community

Unions are the agencies which wage earn
ers nave organized to protect themselves
against wrongs, to help them get a fairer
deal, to present the human element concerned
in all work problems and to bring to the
workers opportunities for a fuller and better
life. Without organization, American labor
would be on a par with the wage Garner of
Southern Europe.
Unions have helped free public schools so
that the children of wage earnerS might have
opportunities for an education. That is a fact
that is not denied. Union labor stands for
absolutely free education for all children, and
has long fought, and is still on the battle line,
for this great need. Parents who get union
rates of pay can keep their children out Of
factories, mines and stores, and send them
to the public schools and Fairgrounds. Union
citizens have been foremost in demanding
Improvements in public education and public
Fairgrounds.
Unions have helped raise the a and
hence the standard of living for millions Of
citizens of the United States and Canada.
Wage earners can buy more from local mer-
chants, and when they are able to buy more,
the business community benefits accordingly.
This is a fact which alert business men recOg-
nize. Not only have union wage earners
raised their own wages, but the wages of
n%on-union workers also, for the employer of
the n~on-union worker has to raise wages in
order to keep his employees satisfied. And
the merchant gets the benefit.
Union workers, because of their increased
earning power, are able to put money away,
against the rainy day and the time of un-
employment.
With a more dependable income, wage
earners can crafty their desires for better
homes. No one lives in the tenements and
slums from choice, and the union wage earn
er makes enough to buy that home, and thus
increase the property value of his commu-
nifty. More attractive and more comfortable
homes in better surroundings mean a better
use of leisure time in the out-of-doors, and
for reading and study. The union helps to
make more Independent and better informed
men and women workers. These various
services contribute to the upbuilding Of the
community, materially and socially, to better
and more wholesome living, and to the de-
velopment in other ways of the community.
There is no greater movement for the up
lift of the worker than the trade union and
no better investment can be made by the
merchant and business man than cooperation
with the union.-Organized Labor.

The Value Of a Smile at Christmas

1t costs nothing, but creates much.
1t enriches those who receive, without i'm
poverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory Of it
sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along with
out it and none SO poor but are richer for its
benefits.
It creates happiness in the home, fosters
good will in a business, and is the countersign
of friends.
1t is rest to the weary, daylight to the dis
%couraged, sunshine to the sad and Natures
best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,
or stolen, for it is something that is nc earthly
good to anybody til it is given away!
Nobody needs a smile so much as those
who have none left to give.

THIS is THE TRUE SPIRIT OF
CHRISTMAS TIME

We are helped by helping others;
Joy we give, and joy we getl
Seeing others as our brothers
Is life's safest, surest "bet''l
If we give what folks are needing,
II will pay US in the end,
And we just can't help succeeding
In the Game of Life, my friend!
Cheerfulness is always catching
Certain cure for ev'ry rilel
Happiness is always Matching
In the sunshine of a Smile.
Danish gloom, by being cheerful;
Blaze the trail, and set the pacel
And you'll see expressions drearful
Swiftly fade from every facet
Life gives back just what we give it.;
Give it smiles-and smiles we get!
If we learn this rule, and live it,
We will seldom know regretl
Give a cheerful word-we'l reap it;
It will come back multiplied,
And will linger-we can keep it
In u "treasure-chest, insidei
Get togetherl Pull togetherl
Is the spirit that will win!
If the gales of life we'd weather,
We must "buck" them, with a grinl
Help yourself, by helping others;
Grab an oar, and join the crew!
Pull together with your brothers,
And they'll win the race-for you!

Following is a communication
from E. H. Helterbran of the Vel
lowstone County Trades and Labor
Council asking the Montana Labor
News to publish a circular letter
sent out by William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, relating to restrictions on
labor unions in respect to state labor
legislation.
YELLOWSTONE COUNTY
TRADES AND LABOR
ASSEMBLY

December II, 1888.
Montana Labor News:
Find enclosed letter from VIM.
Green which I am asking you to
print in the Montana Labor News
and return his letter.
~Fraternally yours,
E. H. Helterbran.
AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF LABOR

December 6, 1888.
Mr. E. H.. Helterbran, Secretary,
Yellowstone County Trades and
Labor Assembly,
P. o. Box 761,
Billings, Montana.
Dear Sir and Brother:
The American Federation of La
Dor recognizes State Federations of
Labor as clothed with authority to
represent organized labor in the diff
ferent states before the state legis-
%latures. The presentation of legisla-
tive measures and the appeal in be-
half Of organized labor to members
of state legislatures to adopt legisla-
ton sponsored by State %Federations
Of Labor into law is regarded as the
function Of the officers and spokes-
men of the State Federation of
Labor.
In line with this general policy
of the American Federation of Labor
we recognize the Montana State
Federation of Labor as the agency
through which the workers in Mon
tana should express themselves to
the Montana state legislature upon
state legislation affecting the eco
nomic, social and industrial interests
of the workers of the state. We
cannot recognize other groups or
committees which may be set up for
the alleged purpose Of furthering
legislation for organized workers in
Montana.
In order to centralize the efforts
of the organized labor movement of
Montana in behalf Of the sound, con-
structive legislative program mi
tiated and sponsored by the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor, l
am calling upon your central body
and the organized labor movement
of Montana to refuse to give finan-
cial support or assistance to the
Montana Council for Progressive
Political Action" This council, Gre
ated by individuals who cannot
speak for the Montana State Fed
Grafton Of Labor, will cause confu-
sion in the minds of the workers
and their friends. They cannot speak
for Labor in Montana because they
have no authority to do so. Refrain
from giving them any assistance
whatsoever. Instead, cooperate fully
with the officers and members of
the Montana State Federation of
Labor.
Fraternally yours,
VIM. Green, President, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
