OPEN FORUM
Rock Quarry Seems
Likely 10 Develop 10
Permanent Industry
Quarry Workers Form New UniOr

After the recent WPA protest the
granite cutters of Butte relinquished
their jurisdiction at the rock quarry
southeast of Butte and a number of
workers employed there met on July
90 at the Miners Union hall and de-
cided that in the interest of their
own welfare they would immediate
ly apply for a Quarry Workers char
ter from the International Quarry
Workers Union of North America,
which is affiliated with the CIO.
The charter was granted on the 10Th
day of August and we became
known as the Butte, Montana,
Branch No. 29O of said international.
Upon receiving our charter perma-
nent officers were elected and will
hold these offices until the last meet
ing in December.
The successful candidates and
their offices are as follows: Presi-
dent, William w. Simmons; vice
president, James T. Curtis; financial
secretary treasurer, James w. Pat
terson; corresponding secretary,
Robert J. Byrne; trustees, Bert
Riley, William E. Ralph and Joseph
George; warden, Henry Bato; shop
stewards. Pat Bolton and Thomas
Stanisich
Beginning with but small men,
bership, I am now very happy to
say that we are solidly organized
and functioning
Too much credit cannot be given
to Sylvester Graham, state CIO
president, and Paul Fall, Jr, state
CIO board member, for the help they
gave us in organizing our union.
And last, but not least, we want to
thank the Butte Miners Union No.
as they have cooperated with us by
granting us the use of their hall in
which to hold our meetings.
While up to the present time the
rock being quarried is being used
for curbing and rip-rapping, it may
be interesting to know that small
block of rock taken from the quarry
has been polished and we believe it
will compare with any of the gran
ite rock that has been imported into
our state.
It may well be that in the near
future this quarry may develop into
a permanent industry which will be
Of immense value not only to Silver
Boy county but to the state.
The direct supervision Of the work
being done at the quarry could not
be in better hands than Josph Bou
chard who is the foreman. Mr..
Bouchard has had years of expert
ence both as a quarry supervisor
and granite cutter. So here's hoping
that we can build up another in
dustry here in Montana.

Seals Of Approval"
MOI Always Honest

Thousands of Americans have put
their faith in Good Housekeeping
magazine-in the Good Housekeep-
ing Seals of Approval" so widely
used by advertisers.
There's a guarantee in the maya
zine to the effect that all products
advertised in it have been carefully
tested and approved by competent
technicians. And with the various
Seals of Approval" go various other
comfortable promises.
Today Good Housekeeping faces
the Federal Trade Commissions
charge that its Seals and Guarantys
are misleading and deceptive" and
that many of its advertisements are
grossly exaggerated and false"
The advertising business is still
buzzing with the news. What, ask
the various trade journals, will hap
pen when the magazines expensive
legal staff tries to answer these
charges in court? How will the SEN
sational case affect advertising bust
ness, advertising practice?
Some interesting answers to these
questions are suggested in the Sep
tember issue of Consumers Union
Reports-a monthly publication of
Consumers Union of U. S., Inc, a
consumers technical organization of
$4,000 members.
Itself anathema to the advertising
business, Consumers Union has long
charged the advertisers darling,
Good Housekeeping, with substan-
TALLY the sins listed in the federal
complaint. A non-profit organiza-
ton, it has long contended editorial
ly that the immensely profitable
consumer services of popular maga-
zines were not rendering unbiased
service to their readers.
Of the profitability of Good House
keeping's service there can be no
doubt. Says Consumers Union:
Fourth in circulation among the
women's magazines, Good House
keeping now ranks first in the
amount of advertising it carries. Re
portedly, Good Housekeeping con-
tributed more than $2,500,000 profit
to Hearst Magazines, Inc, last year.
The magazine claims that the opera
ton of its Institute and Bureau has
cost it more than $1,000,000 in the
past five years. But if the cost had
been twice that few doubt that Good
Housekeeping would have been glad
to pay it.
For no one doubts that the In
stitute and the Bureau have made
Good Housekeeping the profitable
property that it is
The article then notes:
Consumers pondered the paradox
that the magazine which carried the
most advertising in its field was the
one which made the most-promo-
tionally-of censoring advertising"
In addition, it is pointed out that
many advertisements accepted by
Good Housekeeping have been de-
scribed as false by the advertisers
themselves in stipulations and agree
ments with the Federal Trade Com
mission. Listerine, Welch's grape
juice, and Fleischmanns yeast are
cited as examples. In view of this
and other astonishing facts the con-
sumer publication predicts that Good
Housekeepings position in the forth
coming hearings will be, at best, ex-
tremely embarrassing.

THE CHURCH and
ECONOMIC REFORM
Digest of speech by Rev. Edward L.
Stephens, Director of the Dio-
cesar Missionary Fathers,
Richmond, Va.
WILLIAMsToWN, Mass, Aug. 80

cesar missionary fatnerS,
Richmond, Va.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. 30.
The assertion that workers have
a duty to become members of labor
unions, and an attack upon 'indi-
vidualism and unregulated and So
called free competition, featured an
address before the Williamstown In
stitute of Human Relations today by
the Rev. Edward L. Stephens, direc-
tor of the Diocesan Missionary
Fathers, Richmond, Va.
Speaking as the Catholic repre-
sentative at an interfaith forum dis
cussing the subject, "The Church
and Economic Reform" Father
Stephens offered seven conclusions
in regard to the economic situation,
These were:
First: Man is not merely a COM
modify for the use of industry. He
is a sacred personality bearing the
imprint of God upon his immortal
soul, and comes into this world with
certain inherent rights that may not
be taken away from him
Second: Labor and Industry or
Property are at the same time both
individual and social.
Third: Free and unbridled COM
petition is an evil and must be dis
continued, because it makes for cut
throat methods and "dog-eat-dog''
conflict; because it makes for con-
tinuous economic upheavals and
does not consider the common good,
which must, before all else, be the
controlling motive in the matter OF
hours, wages and profits or expan-
sion.
Fourth: That it is not only the
divinely good right of every man to
organize in free unions, independent
of companies, and guided by Chris
tian principles of charity and JUS
tice, but that it is his duty for the
protection of his fellowman as well
as society in general.
Fifth: Mothers must be taken
out of the field of labor, where they
are forced to augment the insuffi-
cient wages of the husband. To per-
NIT women to go into the labor mar
ket for such a purpose encourages
the conditions of underpayment, de-
moralizes the home, brings about the
neglect of children and tends toward
immortality of life both privately
and socially.
Sixth: Equity toward the owner
or industry must be observed in fix
ing wages. No wage may be i'm
posed that will be destructive of the
life of the business or confiscatory
However, if a company is poorly
managed or negligent, it may not
wage this culpable condition as g
defense against doing the honorable
thing by its employees.
Seventh: In all negotiations tc
effect just and equitable relation
ship between capital and labor, in
the interest of economic reform, the
determinent must always be the
public good"
