Moose and Calf Sighted Today On Bar

A COW moose and her calf were seen early this morning on the Douglas Island shore of Menden- hall Flats, according to word re- ceived in Juneau today by The Empire.
 A troller, crossing the flats and waiting for high tide, made a fire on the beach, cooked his break fast, and after dozing off, awoke to see the pair of moose standing but 50 feet off.
 A few years ago, another COW moose was frequenting Douglas Is- land, but disappeared with the concensus being that some errant hunter shot her.
 Although this is the first time in quite while that moose have been reported on Juneau area iS- lands, it is not an infrequent oc- currence, with the big animals making their way down from the Interior country and swimming over.

Survey Graphic Paints Splendid Picture
of Butte and Its Life

In very splendid article in the current
issue of Survey Graphic Magazine, Mr.. Kin
sey Howard draws picture of Butte and its
history that has seldom been equaled by any
national periodical Mr.. Kinsey touches
lightly upon the battle between Heinze, Clark
and DAILY, mentions the explosion in the rail
road yards in 1895, refers to the massacre
on Anaconda Road and also throws little
additional light on the Spectator disaster.
The power of the Anaconda Company to
mark the confines of the city and county and
corruption in city and county politics is also
mentioned, but the most significant contribu-
ton in the whole article, to the unions is
clear analysis of the economic folly of the
miners in attempting to continue with the
contract system, wherein the company speci-
fies the contract price and ties wages down
based upon the price of copper in domestic
markets
The story altogether is of great value to
the history of Silver Bow county and should
be read by everyone. The magazine may be
obtained at John Bradley's News Stand, 325
North Main Street.

coerced by the whims and the chiseling of
his competitors, even if he wants to do the
right thing
The merchants in Lewistown, Billings and
other places who so deplore the value of
organized labor should know the history of
Silver Bow county and what has been done.
The records of the Clerks Union of this COM
munity will show that in 1895 the stores in
Butte opened at o'clock in the morning and
stayed open until o'clock at night for five
days of the week and on Saturdays they
stayed open perhaps until midnight. There
was no system, order, regulation. The clerks
never knew when they were going to get off
nor when their dinner hour was going to take
place A story is told of a committee, in
1895, going to visit the manager Of Hennessy's
store with a very modest request that the
store close at o'clock in the evening during
the first five days of the week. The manager
became indignant called the police and an
officer arrived and demanded to know of the
union committee by what authority they
could disturb a man conducting lawful bust
ness. The committee was not put in Jail but
neither were they granted their demands and
the old order continued.
Through union regulation, order has been
established in mercantile establishments
which has resulted to the benefit of the mer-
chants and to the workers alike. 1t is safe
to say that if the merchants Of this communi-
ty should take vote to go back to the con-
ditions of 1895 they would overwhelmingly
turn it down.

Verdict Against Hosiery Workers
Presents Menace

In the spring of 1887, strike occurred on
the Atlantic Coast against the Apex Hosiery
Company by the American Federation of
Hosiery Workers At that time sitdown
strikes were rampant throughout the coun-
try. The company brought an action in the
courts against the union and its president,
William Leader, asking treble damages
against the union under the provisions of the
Sherman Antitrust act The union asked
Judge Kirkpatrick to set the verdict aside
and this he refused to do The union now
intends to bring the case before the higher
federal courts and it is expected that the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Dis
trict will hear the case this month or early
in June The jury awarded judgment against
the union to the extent of $711 ,932.55 It
was alleged by the company that damages
resulted from occupation of the premises
during the sitdoWn strike. However, if the
company was sincere in this allegation, they
should have tried the matter in the state
courts, but this action was brought in the
federal courts and under the Sherman Anti
Trust act. Under this act, treble damages
are provided and the verdict was given under
the contention that the strike was an inter
ference with interstate commerce. Unions
should remember that when the Sherman
Antitrust law was passed, it was supposed
to be a protection for organized labor and
against monopolies, but it was soon learned
that this act was used against the labor
unions and later on the Clayton Act was
passed to exempt unions from the operations
Of the Sherman Act. The most notable case
of union being penalized for damages under
the Sherman Act was the Danburry Hatters,
which almost annihilated the Hatters Union.
Should employers be enabled to invoke the
Sherman Act, against striking employees,
and receive verdicts such as this one, the
whole labor movement in the United States
is faced with terrible menace. It is hoped
the circuit court Of appeals will reverse the
verdict

What the Clerks Union Has Done to
Help in Butte

Butte has often been subjected to scorn in
union discussions among merchants and
others who live and do business in the agri-
cultural sections of the state of Montana.
Attempts to form unions at Billings, Lewis
town, Kalispell, Dillon and Missoula have
been looked upon with disfavor by the Asso-
ciated Industries, Chambers Of Commerce
and other organizations Of business and pro-
fessional people. It is remarkable that very
few, if any merchants, or corporations doing
business in Silver Bow county, ever severely
condemn the unions to the extent that they
would abolish them. 1t is true that some
types of corporate interests would like to see
an open shop but this feeling is not generally
prevalent.
The average merchant of Silver Bow coun-
ty is quite we'll satisfied that Butte is union
town. It is true that there have been some
conflicts and misunderstanding but upon
final settlement of these the merchants dis
cover that he is greatly better off than be-
fore the dispute took place.
The stores here open at $3.50 in the morn
ing and close at 5: 80 at night. The merchant
is able to be home with his family and enjoy
the evening or go fishing He has leisure
time and is not losing any money. How diff
ferent are conditions in many other cities
and towns in Montana There are no regula-
tions Some stores open at a. m, others at
8 a. m. Some close at 6 p m. and some stay
open until midnight. The employers time

New York is the home of at least
four cooperative undertakings of

Why Should The
Government Pay In
terest on Bonds!

Ignorance about money widens
the chasm of hate between those
who are wealthy without working
and those who are poor but do all
the work which produced the
wealth.
The wedge which sprung this
chasm of hate, is usury-any in
crease or interest whatsoever for the
use of money.
The maui which drives this wedge
deeper, is the ever-increasing public
debt by the interest-on-bonds meth
cd, which will eventually widen the
breach between those who have and
those who have not, until the rich
will have destroyed the productive
ness of the poor. Then history will
repeat itself in bloody revolution. -

organizations is "Finco," the Cooper
ative Trading Company, widely
known cooperative among Brook
lyn's Finnish citizens. Its social hall
as well as its restaurant with Fin
nish food will be the gathering place
for many old-time cooperators from
New England and the Middle West.
Youthful prodigy among coopera-
tives is Eastern Cooperative Whole
sale, which this year celebrates its
tenth anniversary. Founded by the
joint action of handful of the older
societies of New York and New
England, it served for several years
as buying agent for them.
With the more recent upsurge of
cooperative interest, the Wholesale
and its affiliate, Eastern Cooperative
League, have taken active part both
in the growth of established retail
societies and in the development of
200 new groups in twelve states. So
rapid has been the expansion of CO.
operative food retailing in the area
that the Wholesale has moved to
larger quarters no less than five
times since 1885. Its present home,
a modern warehouse of 1000 square
feet of floor space, houses not only
some 100000 worth of goods, but
provides office space for both Whole
sale and League. ECW expects to
do a million dollars worth Of busi-
ness this year.
In addition, ECW has the first
testing kitchen to be set up by a
Cooperative Wholesale in this coun-
try. Here products are constantly
checked. Here, too, is a demonstra-
ton store where boards of directors
of new Co-ops can see equipment
and inspect new ideas of layout and
display and where grocery store
management students have labora-
tory for the study of practical prob
lens in a course of training in which
active staff heads of the Wholesale
are the teachers.
Plans Of the Cooperative Center
include opportunities for interested
visitors to see these and other CO.
operative enterprises in New York.
The Center will welcome delegations
of foreign cooperators and hold
occasional teas of International char
acter.
"Theme of the Fair being held
here this year is World of Tomor-
row." said Olga Hourwich, chair
man of the Cooperative Center Com
mittee. MANY cooperators feel that
our movement points toward the real
world of tomorrow where consumer
interests must predominant if an

total of S3.26S,376 in 1929 they
slumped to 1882, ,479 in 1888. The
district met its full obligations until
July of 1882 and then defaulted.
At this date the district had issued
$3.50 600 in warrants to meet cur
rent obligations and also defaulted
on interest on these warrants.
A temporary plan providing re-
duction in interest payment and
deferment of bond maturities was
approved by voters Jan. u. 1888
and went into effect in 1884 with
warrant retirement plan.
In 1895, however, the first of a
series of negotiations with the
RFC began. A refunding offer
from RFC fell through because
the bondholders refused to accept
IS per cent for their bonds, as
well as later efforts TO refinance
through this agency.
In January of 1888 board men,

|aIIey Rapidly Overcoming Its Problems
An Editorial

In the budget of problems
among Americas thousands
of communities. Imperial
Valley shows in black on the
profit side of the ledger.
The valleys problems are
few: its triumphs are many.
Other communities, older
in years but poorer in op-
portunitieS. face the same
problems of financing, busi-
ness and marketing. and in
addition they know problems
Imperial Valley has never
met.
The valleys only serious
problems. as of the first of
this year. were irrigation
district refinancing. drain
age nd crop marketing.
Now. with the year not yet
half gone, the first two are
so nearly solved they are no
longer problems. The third
is moving rapidly toward as
sound a solution as can be
reached locally,
Against these irritationS
other communities of the ma
tion list not only equal debt
difficulties, but floods, tor
nadoes, droughts and SINH
lar natural disasters which
cause more damage in one
month than the valley knows
in years.
Problems are pesky things,
disagreeable even if we know
the other chap has worse
ones. Even so, the wise I'M
perial Valleyite balances up
his assets against his liabili-
tieS-and goes his way know
ing that his future and the
future of his community is
assured, safe and certain of
a minimum of perpleXity.
