OLD-AGE INSURANCE CLAIMS
AVERAGE S65.63

Old-age insurance claims certified
for payment in December numbered
16,124, raising the total number of
claims certified since the old-age in
surance system was established
January l, 1887, to 1885, COG, accord
ing to word received here today
from Washington by Manager Stew
art J. Thomas, of the Butte field
office of the Social Security Board.
The average payment in December
was $65.63, Mr.. Thomas said.
'These single cash payments are
now being made to wage earners
who have been employed in covered
industrial and commercial occupa-
tons since 1886 and who have
reached age IS since that date; and
to the families or estates of workers
in covered employment who have
died since 1885," MI. Thomas pointed
out. Both types of these payments
are based on 31s per cent of the
workers total earnings since 1886"
In Montana, 81 of claims were
certified in December for a total of
1850 to date. Payments for this
state in December amounted to
49, 810 9, for a total of $44,898.36.

HARLAN Miners ARE
STILL IN JAIL

Latest reports from the Kentucky
Miners Defense, rs Fifth Avenue,
New York, say that the four coal
miners serving life sentences for
alleged murder at the battle of
Evarts, May S, 1881, are still in Jail,
but that there is renewed hope for
their freedom.
Sometime since, Governor A. B.
Chandler made an announcement
that he would not have any objec-
ton if Lieutenant Governor Johnson
pardoned the four miners, after he
had turned these cases over to John
son.
A full confession of perjury was
made by Lawrence Toney, Evarts
taxi driver who testified in person
at the hearing. Later Toney was
indicted as participant in the battle.
The unions have been trying to get
a pardon for these men from Chand-
Ter for eight years without avail.
A coal miners strike occurred
down in Harlan, Kentucky, and from
the evidence it would seem that the
company agents attacked the miners
and some of the company gunner
were killed. The four coal miners
were sentenced to life in prison.

Compensation Changes
Viewed With Alarm
By Labor Organizations

Senate Bill 131 which, it has been
stated, was introduced at the request
of the chairman Of the State Indus
trial Board, if enacted, will cut bene-
fits to injured workers who are en-
ployed under the operations of the
Workman's Compensation Act of
Montana. 1t is estimated the reduc-
ton of pensions, if this act is passed,
will be from one-sixth to one-half
of what they now receive. The
records show that a bill similar to
Senate Bill 131 was introduced in
the legislature as far back as 1888
and was at that time defeated by
the efforts of the Montana Fedora
ton of Labor.
Referring again to S. B. 131 if
passed, it will cut the compensation
of widows and poor children from
$4,000 to $4,000 and a worker with
a wife and four children who has
been totally disabled, through in
jury, for life will be cut to $6,250
where it is now possible for him to
receive $12,500 over a period of
course of 500 weeks.
At the present time, Montana is
rated the 9Th of all the states in
respect to the value of its compensa-
ton act. Labor estimates that if this
bill is passed, Montana will drop-to
at least goth on the list of states in
respect to quality of its compensa-
ton act. 1t appears to be one of the
most vicious bills that has been pre-
sented in the legislature for a num-
Der of sessions against the workers.
If enacted, it will mean that instead
of industry taking r of its injured
as it should, the burden of taking
care of them will again be placed on
the backs of the taxpayers. S. B.
131 seems to be a maneuver for the
industries to get out from under
compensation awards.

State Council Enjoys Bufte's
Hospitality al 23rd Convention
George Yeager Elected Presi-
dent and Elmer Barnett
Secretary.

After accomplishing many con-
structive policies and acts to guide
the state union, the convention of
the State Council of Carpenters
adjourned Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary 8, to meet again in Kalispell
in 1910.
The Carpenters protested the pro-
posed transfer of the Re-employ-
ment Service from the Department
of Labor to the Social Security
Board.
AT the election of officers, George
Yeager of Great Falls was chosen
president Of the state organization.
Yeager is also an executive board
member of the Montana Federation
of Labor and a very capable officer.
He succeeded George Templeman of
Anaconda. Elmer Barnett of Ana
conda was elected secretary-treasur-
er succeeding A. E. Mercer of Kalis-
pell; vice presidents selected yester-
day were T. P. Taylor of Bozeman,
Charles Armstrong of Butte, r. E.
Thompson of Billings, E. w. Kind of
Kalispell and Albin Larson of Havre.
On Tuesday afternoon, James
Graham, president of the Montana
Federation of Labor addressed the
convention on the subject of legisla-
ton, particularly that affecting the
carpenters and building trades.
Mayor Hauswirth was also a con-
vention speaker.
At the banquet at the Golden Fan
Tuesday evening, the principal
speakers were Dan Mooney, Mike
O'Connell and Sam White. Fred
Harvey's orchestra furnished the
music. Entertainers at the banquet
were Denny Sullivan, Fred Lentz
and Jack Gaffney. Henry A.
Grapenstein was postmaster at the
banquet. Guy Hale of Butte, presi-
dent of the State Council of Brick
layers, and P. w. Bowler also spoke
at the banquet. P. w. Bowler is an
international representative of the
Carpenters and is a frequent visitor
in Butte. He is well known to the
members of the other unions.
The Carpenters are one of the
leading organizations pressing the
importance of ladies' auxiliaries.
Mrs. George Yeager OF Great Falls
is very active in this work. The
ladies held their social during the

A(M UNM0VED BY
UNEMPLOYMENT
From The Miners Voice.

The joint Wages and Hours COM
mittee composed of forty-five rep
resentatives of Butte, Anaconda and
Great Falls employees in the mines
and smelters, met with the officials
of the A. c. M. Co. on January goth
in an attempt to negotiate a favor
able plan of wages and hours.
The committee officially informed
the Company officials that the Butte
unions, with the exception of the
Teamsters, have in an expression
vote overwhelmingly rejected their
offer to return to a 48-hour week,
and that the unions of the three in
dustrial cities are now asking for a
40-hour week with the same weekly
earnings as existed prior to the Sep
TENDER weekly wage cut.
More Than IL Millions Profit Last
Year But Cannot Afford to
Restore Wage Cut
The company officials had no other
proposal to offer. They stood on
their former offer of 48-hour week,
in spite of the Leonard mine shut
down and the committees repeated
arguments that going back to 48
hours would throw additional hun
dreds on the relief rolls.
At one point during the long de-
bate the spokesman for the COM
mittee, VIM. Mason, challenged the
accuracy of the production cost
figures with which the company
officials sought to impress the labor
representatives and stated that the
employees of the company in the
three cities r not going to forget
the fact that the company's answer
to the request of the employers for
a decent wage is met with a blunt
refusal at a time when everyone
knows that the A. c. M. Co. and its
foreign controlled properties have
cleared not a few million during the
last year.
May Have Future Discussions
After more than three hours of
discussion the union representatives,
seeing no real desire on the part of
the officials to reach a favorable
proposed to adjourn the
conference until some further offer
is made. The committee then met
in the Miners hall where they out
lined the future struggle for a de-
cent wage and pledged solidarity in
the common fight for the welfare of
mine and smelter employees.
Mr.. Phillip Chapel, from the De-
partment Of Cancellation, who came
to Butte on the request of the joint
Wage and Hour committee, stated,
in meeting with the union repre-
sentatives, that in his opinion the
demand for the old weekly wage is
a fair n and justified and thought
that possible future discussions
would end in a fair settlement of
the wage-hour question.

TIL rst number on the program
was ~ Greenwood in a tap dance
nun Miss Greenwood is recog-
nize S one of the best dancing
performers in Butte. She gave a
number of excellent selections which
were highly appreciated. Miss
Greenwood's father is a member of
the Engineers Union No. 80.
The second number on the pro-
gram was Bobby Mccarthy, with a
delightful soprano voice. He ac-
companied himself on the piano and
is really talented. Bob's dad is
Frank Mccarthy, a member of the
Hotel, Restaurant Employees Union.
Bob was a student under Sister Vim
cent of st. Patrick's convent in
Butte.
Next on the program were the
Carkeek sisters, respectively ID, 10,
and 4 years of age. They are the
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. John Car
keek. John is a member of the En-
gineers Union. The three girls put
on a delightful performance and
captivated the audience, especially
tiny Lois who although only 4 year
of age showed her musical DISPOSE
ton by playing the drums while
Jean, the eldest girl, played the
accordion and Alice Jane, the middle
one, the violin. AS much as any
thing that the audience enjoyed was
the discipline exacted between the
three girls. The two elder ones beat
time with their feet and were per-
fectly oblivious to the audience, be-
ing absorbed in their work and the
perfection of its delivery. Lois
studied under Professor Jackson, a
member of the Musicians Union. The
girls we're taught at the Estelle
Loughran School of Dancing.
The fourth set of juvenile per-
formers consisted of the team of
Bobby Doran and Irene Duckham.
Bob and Irene were enhancing with
their song and dance special. Bobby
played the piano and Irene the
accordion. They were encored sew
eral times, Bob's dad is John Doran
a member of the Clerks. Both of
these children received much of their
instruction in Henry Bishops School
of Dancing, although both of them
received instruction at Hollywood.
Members of the Musicians Union
who assisted in the program were
Glib Cooney at the piano; James
Binkerd and Karl Wright, saxa-
phone; Art Greene, saxaphone and
singing; Harvey King, cornet; Fred
Jackson, on the violin; Mr.. Wilcox
on the guitar, who is an outstanding
guitar player and is often heard over
the radio; Archie Williamson, drums;
Sonny Shaw, piano and singing;
Buddy Newton in songs. Buddy
Newton is well known as a singer,
having performed in many of the
leading cafes in San Francisco and
the Rocky Mountain Cafe in Butte.
Tim Harrington of the Engineers
Union acted as master of ceremonies
and did a capable job. During the
songs and dancing, refreshments
were passed around, and the con-
GLIDING part of a joyful evening was
spent in dancing.

Business May Regret
Blind Antagonist 10
Labor in Legislature


Another public hearing with re-
gard to the Labor Relations Act was
held in Helena which was largely a
repetition of the hearing on the
hearing on the Wages and Hours
bill with the exception that James
Graham of the State Federation was
in the position of a prepayment, but
Mr.. Graham predicted that the act
might precipitate a fight between
the A. F. of L. and the CLIO if
passed. Mr.. Hoover of the A. c..
M. led the fight as usual and laid a
foundation for all succeeding speak
ers. His treatment of the act left
no doubt as to where the opposition
comes from and there can be no
doubt that the business men of the
state are being lined up for some
purpose, if they need lining up. c. J.
Dougherty of the Missoula Times
provided the comedy, posing az a
rugged Individual who had over
come odds to reach his present posi-
ton in a small town paper and
seemed anxious to attract the atten-
ton of the powers that be. It was
apparent that Labor is not united
and that efforts are being made to
split them wider apart, and that the
business men of the state are really
frightened. It was a case of labor
offering to sit down and discuss
matters and of business men being
afraid to take the offer. The lion
and the lamb were to lie down to-
gether but the lion was afraid. The
meeting was presided over by Sena-
tor Mike Mulhalland- who again
proved that the voters of Silver Bow
county had made no mistake in
electing him.
After spending the first part of
the session in opposing labor, the
small business man then produced a
so-called Fair Trades Act for which
the support of labor was requested.
This legislation, contained in House
Bills 164 and 1865, provides for a
commission, to be appointed by the
governor from the merchants in the
state, who shall have power to con
troll the business of every merchant.
Hitler has no greater power and the
constitution is forgotten, however,
the business men seem to want it
and as it will hurt no one but them
selves they may get it. These hear
ings have proved that the ~so-called
independent business man is just as
dumb as labor and it is to be hoped
that he will learn something from
the deal he is about to receive.
The present legislature is the most
reactionary in years. They are
opposed to granting any advance in
wages, any shortening of hours or
Improvement of conditions. The
farmers feel that they would like
something but do not know what it
is. There can be no doubt that the
c. M. is in control and that
nothing will go through that is not
approved by them. The labor group
and some of the farm unions have
together but are too small
to do any good except that they
have been able to defeat some par
ticularly vicious measures. Most of
the farmers and small business are
in distress but are afraid to put the
blame where it belongs, men who
one or two employees or
who have never had a hired man
in their lives seem to feel that the
alleged high wages paid labor, or
the amounts paid on WPA are in
some way to blame. Do not expect
anything from this legislature.
