Montana labor news., 1939-02-02

Following is a roll call to indefi-
nitely postpone action on the Wages
and Hours bill, commonly known
as House Bill No. %. Those who
voted AYE" actually voted to kill
the bill. Those who voted mo"
wanted to see further action. In a
dispatch received by the Montana
Labor News Wednesday from the
legislature, it was mentioned that
House Bill No. 20 came out on Tues
day, January 31st, with the entire
committee recommending that it be
printed and placed on general orders.
The Silver Bow delegation defended
it and used as argument that in that
inasmuch as the business men de-
sired a fair trade practice act they
should agree to give labor fair
trade act also. Those who opposed
the bill, however, mentioned that
the Montana Federation of Labor
was not supporting the bill. Per-
haps after all the 8-hour amendment
to Montana's Constitution which was
carried two years ago mainly
through the efforts of the Montana
Federation of Labor, will be affec-
tive in protecting the workers of
Montana. The employer and mer-
chant who feel that now the wages
and hours act has been defeated,
that he can chisel all he wants to,
must recognize the 3-hour amend
ment to Montana's Constitution.
In this roll call those who voted
mo" were in favor Of the wages
and hours bill. Those who voted
AYE" were against it:

FISH RIVER FORTS
By Geo. J. Gale Box g, Golconda, Ntv.

In 1928 I had the opportunity to visit the ruins of the old forts located al the forks of the Neuk- luk and Fish Rivers. The number of things our party found there were of historical interest. Such as arrow and spear heads. It al so convinced us that an actual battle had taken place between the Yukon Indians and the Fish River EskimoS.
 Although this old fort is cover ed with grass and moss it can still be seen.
 Upon returning from the forts to White Mountain. I heard the story told by Old MT. Blind Man, bind White Mountain Eskimo
 A few Eskimo families lived on the upper Fsh River which was an excellent game and fish coun- try, and the Indians from the Yukon knew about it.
 One day, two of the Eskimo youths upon returning from a long hunt from the northwest re turned home only to find that the old men and boys had been kill ed while he women and girls were all gone. The desirable girls to become wives and slaves of the Indians while the others would be tortured for the h. dians' pleasure.
 The youths snowshoed down the river to the other villages and spread the news of their tribes plight. They soon gather ad small force at the forks of the river and prepared for bat tie as they knew that success would soon bring the Indians back over the heighth of land on another raid.
 The Eskimos fingered at the forks making more bows and ar rows. They made the heads of heir war arrows as thin as pos 5ible so that it would break eas fly once having entered a mans flesh and break off and remain there.
 By the next summer both sides were ready. The Indians had got .en wind of the fort that was being built so they figured on capturing it by surprise.
 One night the Indians paddled down the river and camped near the Eskimo fort They could see Inc Eskimo's fire acros the river. These Indian were very strong handy fellows and had practical ly no fear of the smaller Eski- mos.
 One of the Indian scouts wad- ed the river. He saw that the Els kimos could be taken by surprise So he gave an animal call which was the signal to come and at tack. As he signalled that the Els liimos were asleep, the Indians were practically up to their necks in the water when the battle started. As the Eskimos had spied this lone Indian & by stuffing their babies mouths with moss so that they cOud not cry the whole Eskimo tribe slammed sleep until they were informed by their scout that the Indians were near the island in the deep water. Then with a savage yell the Eskimos poured arrow after arrow out among the dark forms in the water. None of the invad- CTS reached the little fort on the island
 The Indians gradually gave up the idea of hunting in the Fish River country and finally took up their abode in the south.
 The Indians and Eslimos still have a certain fear of each other.

The committee, composed of 16
ranking figures in the aviation and

one of the first agencies to foresee
and point out the appalling posi-,

COMMERCE LEAD MENACED
Declaring that efficiency of an
air force is in direct proportion to
the emphasis that is placed on
scientific research, the committee
said:
"The advances in aeronautical
science are so rapid that assidu-
Gus attention to the subject can
not with safety be suspended for
even a brief period"
The committee cited United

foreign air commerce, but added:
"FarSighted and determined
efforts are being made by
European nations to extend
their commercial and political
influence by establishing and
extending world trade routes of

Hull Returns,
Halls Parley

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 G.N.SO.
Secretary of State Hull returned
from Lima, Peru, today, hailing
the agreements reached at the
eighth Pan-American Conference
as certain to enhance New World
solidarity.
THE American republics have
made it clear to the world" Hull
said, that they stand united to
maintain and defend the peace
of this hemisphere, their terri
torial integrity, their principles
of international relations, their
own institutions, and national
policies"
Hull, who headed the United
States delegation to the confer.
ence, noted that there was a gen.
eral realization at Lima that "in'
ternational laWlesSness and inter
national anarchy exist in many
areas on the earth" There was a
further realization that economic
chaos existing in a considerable
part of the world would eventu.
ally involve their own countries
unless preventive measures were
taken," he said.
One point in particular. the
Secretary of State emphasized:
The United States, in accord
ance with our traditional policy,
did not desire or intend to seek
political or military alliances at
the Lima conference" he de-
clared. 1T did hope that the
American republics would con-
tinue to strengthen their CO.
operation in support of an inter-
American and world program
that will bring peace, economic
welfare and a recognition of
human rights. That hope was
fully realized"

PARIS Defiant,
CHAMBERLAIN
TO TELL DUCE
British Premier to Paw
Daladier Short Visit

PARIS, Jan. 9 G.N.S0.-A
vigorous determination tn t
neither French soil nor French
interests snail be sacrificed to
Italy in the name of European
appeasement was apparent in
French governmental circles to-
Gay as Premier Edouard Daladier
set the stage for his conference
with British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain, who will
stop off in Paris tomorrow on
bis way to Rome.
The French premier was under
stood to be in no conciliatory
mood toward Itaiy's Mediter-
ranean aspirations.
The British prime minister
and his foreign secretary. Wis
count Halifax, will make a two.
hour break in their journey to
Rome, where they are scheduled
to arrive Wednesday. for three
lays of important negotiations
with Premier Mussolini and For
eign Minister Galeazzo Ciano.
MESSAGE TO DUCE
These two hours in the French
capital will, in the opinion of OBJ
servers, serve notice to Rome of
the continued strength of the re-
newed entente cordiale between
Paris and London. And it is
understood that Daladier will give
Chamberlain a definite message
on the Franco-Italian situation to
be delivered to the italian dictator.
The French premier is expected
to turn deaf ear to any plea
Chamberlain may make for out
side mediation of the controversy
between Paris and Rome.
So far as France is concerned,
there will be no second Munich"
at her expense.
FIRM WITH FRANCO
The premier, it was learned, will
bluntly inform Chamberlain that
France is not willing to make any
concessions to Spanish insurgent
GeneralisSimo Francisco Franco.
The French stand is that the ques-
ton of granting belligerent rights
should not even be broached until
Burgos shows its good faith by
consenting to the withdrawal from
Spanish soil of all Italian troops.
The French indicated today that
they considered the military as
pect of the FrancoItalian situa-
tion even more important than the
diplomatic since, in their opinion,
Mussolini has chosen to speak the
language of force in Spain and
by reinforcing italian military
establishments on the frontiers of
French Somaliland.
The Importance attached by
the Quai d'Orsay to the Spanish
situation was emphasized today
by the announcement that Gen.
Marie Gustave Gamelin, chief Of
the French general staff, in a few
weeks will make a tour Of inSpec-
ton of the new French fortifica-
tions along the border between
French and Spanish Morocco.

north, with the port of Tarragona
and the capital city of Barcelona

InSurgent air activity which has
been an important factor in the

there was absolutely no truth" in

contrary, it was said that the
government attacks were breaking
