A FEASIBLE PENSION
FOR M0NTANA'S AGED

On Sept. IA the Miners Union hall
was filled to its capacity to hear
Jerry O'Connell explain the 6O-60
pension plan which, if enough sigma
lures can be secured, will be put on
the ballot at next state election.
Mr.. O'Connell explained his plan
very thoroughly, taking it section
by section, and if there was anyone
present who had any doubt in their
minds before, after hearing it ex-
planned by Jerry l think that doubt
was removed, for up to the present
time it is the finest thing that has
been brought before the voters of
this state, and if it can be put over,
and it can with a little work on our
part, it means that the aged will
have some security in their old years
and not slow starvation as under our
present welfare system, and further
more, any old-age assistance or pen
sion should be handled by u state
elected officers and not by a board
appointed by any governor.
AT this meeting a 5000 plan club
was formed and a large number of
membership cards yer sold. These
cards sell for rs cents each. Meet
ings will be held in the near future
and members can watch the bulletin
board at the Miners Union hall for
date and place. Clubs are being
formed all over the state, so let's
get going and make club the
largest and best in the state of Mon
tana.

appropriate action to bring a
solution.
Capitalist Press in Form.
The public is informed, by the
usual innuendoes in the A. c. M.
press, that the smelter locals and
crafts have accepted the COM
pany's proposal and the miners,
by voting for a strike are the
next door to criminals. The
miners, however, know what the
hot-boxes are like and smelters
don't operate without ore. The ac-
ton of the smelter locals was fully
expected and fully discounted by the
miners negotiating committee and
will have no effect on future nego-
tiations. The miners know what
their conditions are and they vote
and act accordingly.
And finally, the miners of Butte,
who do the hard, dangerous work,
are to be complimented OF their ac-
ton. They will not lose anything
but some fair weather friends whom
they can well afford to lose anyway.
It should be kept in mind that the
chief reasons why the smelter locals
accepted are that their conditions of
work and their relations with their
local managers are far different than
in Butte.
The strike ballot was so worded
as to leave room for a just and
honorable settlement before Oct. l..
Otherwise, the mines 60 down.
The Anaconda Company offered
the miners and the craftsmen a basic
5O-cent per day increase. The spe-
cific proposition which the miners
voted on yesterday vas as follows:
will you strike on Oct. l if the
company has not granted u orig
inal demands by that date?"
The original demands made by the
miners to the Anaconda Company
are as follows:
/. Twenty per cent increase in
wages for all workers covered by
the new agreement. In addition a
provision in the agreement guaran-
teeing that the minimum wages shall
be not less than SIS per day.
2. Provision that Fights hours
collar-to-collar shall constitute a
days work for the miners.
8. Establishment of mine grievance
committees.
In contradiction to articles appear
ing in the Standard and Post stating
that miners on strike would not be
eligible for unemployment compen-
sation, the following quotation from
an opinion by Attorney General
Freebourn is opportune and also
very important:
IF the members of your union go
out on strike they would be entitled
to unemployment insurance compen-
sation because their status comes
~squarely within the terms and pro-
visions of the statute above quoted.
The applicant for compensation be-
ing on strike would have been totally
unemployed and his work would
cease because of the strike at the
establishment where he was last en-
ployed. Of course, within the pro
visions of the statute such applicant
for compensation must be a person
who is participating in a strike or
directly interested therein. In other
words, your inquiry as to whether
or not these members who may go
out on strike are entitled to com
pensation is answered in the affirm
alive"

pickup when desired" Anibal said.
"The engine is allowed to run a
majority of the time on a mixture
ratio which would produce buckles,
says and flat spots if used during
the acceleration period"
Automotive engine temperature
control is another feature on the
modern motor car. One car, for
instance, has full length water
jackets and complete encirculation.
Temperature of the water and the
carburetor mixture are controlled
by automatic thermostats.
Many advances have been made
in the electrical system, one of
the outstanding ones is the auto
matte voltage control, which deli
vers battery charge in propor-
ton to the electrical load. Then
there is the automatic headlamp
beam indicator and the foot con-

Conservatives in
Control After AFL
Convention Vote

OAKLAND, Calf, Sept. 90. (UP)
With conservatives in control the
AFL state federation of labor met
in convention session today to con-
slider action ON resolutions affect
ing labor, political and interna-
tional issues.
Proposals to endorse President
Roosevelt for a third term, to
amend the Wagner act, and to
express federation sentiment on
ham and eggs pensions, the Atkin-
son state control bill, and the ma
tional neutrality law were before
the HOO delegates.
The climax of a long conserva-
tive liberal battle for convention
control was reached late last night
with the reelection of conservative
Edward Vanderleur of San Fran
cisco as executive secretary. The
post is the key office in determin-
ing and enforcing federation pol
icies.
Vandeleur defeated Alexander
Watchman, San Francisco, support
ed by liberals, 100944 to 79,645 in
bitter battle which stalled other
convention business and prolonged
the sessions into today and possibly
tomorrow.

DETROIT, Sept. 20. (UP)-FeW
motorists today realize the many
duties formerly done by the driver
that now are taken care of auto
matically.
Nothing has been done yet TO-
ward having the car change a tire
or repair a puncture, but it does
start itself "a development that
probably did more than any other
one thing toward opening auto
driving to women.
Not many years ago the instru-
ment panel of an automobile re-
sembled the instrument panel OF
the present airliners. The board
was full of gadgets, dials ana
switches that had to be watched,
turned or pulled. Nowadays he
instrument board is compact with
comparatively few dials and switch
es.
3. H. Anibal, chief engineer of a
large auto factory, points out that
among the most important auto
matte devices on the modern auto
mobile are the spark and choke
controls. Both do away with manual
operation and at the same time
increase engine efficiency.

pendence and their liberties.
The British people are not in
terested in war for wars sake, and
have no desire to crush or destroy
the German people. They are wag-
ing war against Germany because
they believe that as long as the
policy of the present regime per-
sists there can be no peace and
order in Europe. Unfortunately, the
commitments which the German
government under Hitler might en-
ter into from time to time cannot
be depended upon.
A consideration of any peace
overture is governed by the same
difficulties described above, name
ly, that no peace overture can be
acceptable which comes from peo-
pie whose undertakings the Brit
ish feel cannot be relied upon.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. CUP)-
With the Russian peace
suggestion of today, the hour is
at hand when the allies must de-
eide whether to continue fighting
or accept second place in Europe,
with the Russo German combine
top dog.
Unless lot of minds have been
changed in the last few days, the
Chamberlain government in Eng
land will not accept this kind OF
peace, which they regard merely
as the prelude to further German
expansion. However, there are a
lot of influential people in Eng
land who would be in favor of Civ
ing any suggestions a good hard
look before turning them down.
The next few hours should tell.
We may be heading into another OF
those big weekends, when history
is made on Sunday.
Last Saturday afternoon I had
a long and frank conversation with
Prime Minister Chamberlain in the
cabinet room at No. 10 Downing
street. While it was not an inter-
view for publication, I naturally
derived certain definite impress
sions from it as well as from talks
with other leaders of public opin-
ion in England.
My opinion is that the British
official attitude toward any peace
overture may be authoritatively
stated as follows:
Britain's purpose in entering the
struggle, as Chamberlain recently
declared in Commons, was to re-
deem Europe from the constant
and recurring fear of German ag-
gression, and enable the peoples
of Europe to preserve their inde-
