 Loyaiists Desperate
 At the extreme northwest of Loy- alist Catalonian territory, the Loyal ist position ct the important city of Sec de Urgei, 6 few miles from the Andorra frontier, was desperate. New war material reached the Loyalists. But strong Nationalist forces had now started to drive 6 wedge be- tween Sec de Urgel and Puigcerda, the important railroad terminal on the Spanish side of the frontier. Their success would force the Lcyal- ists to retreat promptly, abandoning Sec de Urgei, or face annihilation.
 The Loyalists had suffered heavy blows in the fall of Vich and then of Berga. The fall of Sec de Urgel would mean the loss within a short time of Puigcerda.

HAPPENINGS OF The
CENTRAL LABOR BODY.

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council held one of the shortest
sessions in its history last Tuesday.
Only a few communications arrived
and there were no important COM
mittee reports.
The Building Trades Council of
the Central Labor Council of Mis-
soula sent in a complaint about the
CLIO interfering with the job at
Superior, Montana. The letter OBJ
iected to any attempt to form a CLIO
union in that community.
Henry Mernin, chairman of the
Joint Relief Conference of Silver
Bow County was delegated by Chair
man Davis of the Council to repre-
sent the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council at the statewide re-
lief conference to be held May 7th
at Helena. All unions, religious
bodies, and farm organizations are
requested to send representatives to
the meeting at Helena as it is very
important.
Clarence Blewett was selected
! speaker by Chairman Davis to rep
resent the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council at the May Day mass
meeting at the old Butte high school
auditorium Sunday evening, April
3Oth. Other prominent speakers will
address the meeting.
The Trades and Labor Council
was authorized to secure information
from Montana's senators and con-
gressmen concerning the position in
which the CCC and National Youth
Administration will be put in the
event the consolidation of relief
agencies are placed under a Ma
tional Security Commission.
Some discussion arose again over
the practice of cigar statesmen de-
livering tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites to stores which are unfair to
the Clerks Union. The clerks mott
fled the Council that a communities
ton will be sent in from their union
asking that all statesmen represent
ing the big tobacco companies, de-
livering merchandise to unfair stores
be placed on the unfair list. The
Trades Council has been broodine
over this subject for some time. II
was thought at first the best plan
would be to declare the tobacco
companies unfair. This didn't seem
to get to the heart of the matter and
other methods may have to be en-
ployed in order to keep deliveries Of
goods from the stores that refuse tC
recognize the Clerks Union.

HELPING TO ENFORCE
CONSUMER LAWS

When a member of the New York
Federation of Women's Clubs re-
Gently found a department store
selling a rayon coat as Silk" she
didn't let the matter drop; instead,
she told the Federal Trade Commits
sion about the mislabeling and the
law enforcement agency went into
action. Now rayon must be disclosed
on the label.
All of which, declares the Con-
sumers' Counsel of the AAA, points
to a good consumer moral.
TRADE union auxiliaries, women's
clubs, and similar organizations can
help enforce consumer laws by set
ting up carefully chosen committees
to study consumer legislation. Jobs
for such a committee might be to
educate the membership in the ways
in which the legislation protects
them, to receive and carefully
analyze reports on suspected VIOLA
tons of consumer protection laws,
and to pass along to proper enforce
ment agencies verified records of
any instances where the committee
believes the laws have not been
observed.
GAS a starter the committee could
do these things:
Write the Consumers Counsel,
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration, Washington, D. c., and ask
for descriptions of the new Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and of the
work of the Federal Trade Commits
sion in regulating false advertising
and other unfair trade practices.
Also, ask the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration and the Federal Trade
Commission for reports of actions
taken by them on law violations.

"The issue is really whether our

tain the ideal of peace, individuality

affairs which permits us no choice
but to turn our countries into bar
racks, unless we r to be vassals of

Our will to peace" the President
concluded, can be as powerful as
our will to mutual defense. 1t can
command greater loyalty, devotion
and discipline than that enlisted else

DECIDES AN
ISSUE INVOLVING
FIRE FIGHTERS FUND

"An interesting cas- involving re-
lief association funds of a fire de-
partment formerly composed of both
paid and volunteer men has just
been decided by the Supreme Court
of Montana.
"Prior to August 20, 1887, the fire
department of the city of Kalispell,
Mont, was made up of both paid
and volunteer members. On August
20, 1887, the City Council of Kalis-
pell passed an ordinance abolishing
the volunteer features of the de-
partment, and leaving the depart
ment a strictly paid one.
after this action by the city, the
paid members of the department
were advised by the attorney gen.
eral to elect members of the depart
ment as officers of the relief asso-
citation, the former treasurer and
most of the other officers having
been volunteer men. Members Of
the paid department were also in
structed by the attorney general to
take over and administer the relief
funds. Mr.. Paul Casey was elected
treasurer of the relief association,
and qualified according to law to
assume the responsibilities of the
office.
MIR. Casey made formal demand
upon the former treasurer of the
relief association for possession of
the associations properties and
funds. This was refused, however.
Court action was then brought
against the former treasurer of the
relief association, ~whereupon the
former treasurer turned the proper
ties of the association over to the
court. A motion to quash the pro-
ceedings was filed by the volun-
teers, acting as defendants in the
case, and the court ruled in their
favor. Paul Casey, for the paid de-
partment, Immediately filed an
appeal in the State Supreme Court.
1.-THE secretary of Local No. SAT in
September, 1888, advised the Inter-
national that the funds of the local
had been exhausted in carrying the
action as far as the appeal to the
Supreme Court, and that it would
be impossible for the local to pro-
coed further unless it could secure
needed financial assistance.
TN view of this fact, and also of
the fact that the decision of the
State Supreme Court would influ-
ence similar conditions which might
rise in other cities not only in Mon
tana but in every state where mixed
paid and volunteer departments
might in the future be converted
into wholly paid departments, the
International decided to assist the
Kalispell Local financially, in carry
ing this Isl to the Supreme Court,
and the appeal was made to the Su-
preme Court for decision in the case,
"On February 4, 1889, the Mon
tana Supreme Court rendered a de-
cision, reversing the judgment of the
lower court, and declaring that the
former volunteer members of the
mixed department were not eligible
members of the relief association,
that any election of such members to
office in the relief association was
invalid, and that the treasurer elect
ed by eligible members of the relief
association is entitled to the office,
and to the possession of the funds
of the association.
Members of Local No. SAT have
expressed themselves as being highly
gratified at the result of this case

as the answer to inspired articles in
Rome and Berlin c%ontending that this
country has no business interfering"
in European affairs. 1t was likewise

~tionists at home.

was done at the Library, of his years
of service all over the world as a
member of string quartet and of
his great contribution to the musical
life OF this city in the establishment
of the National Symphony Or
chestra.
OF Mr.. Qpnou, Mrs. Coolidge said
that he had collaborated with her
In the creation of chamber music in
every country and had already been
honcred for that service by other
awards of note.
DR.. Kinder embraced Mrs. Coolidge
with emotion as he received the
medal and bowed his acknowledge
ment to the prolonged applause that
greeted the announcement.
This ceremony took place during
the j'otermissi",n after the calimi'
Quartet had played Leos Janaceks S
Second String quartet" and Miss
Bruyere had sung group of
seldom-heard Debussy songs, ac-
companied by Mr.. Steuermann. The
visiting quartet is a group of splen-
did musicians and in the difficult
Janacek number made a decided
impression. The work itself is dis
tinctly interesting with it's basic folk
themes and the vivid manner in
which they are employed in the
quartet form.

Janacek has achieved a new tona

full Of colorful variety that pictures
national note in many changes
written with loving and sympathetic
understanding. 1t makes cruel de-
mands on the violinists and gives
precedence to the viola over the
cello, but the Galimir artists showed
their fine musicianship by the purity
of intonation which they maintained
and the warmth and fire of their
performance.
One of the most artistic perform
ances heard at the Library was Miss
Bruyere's singing of the Depussy
songs, "Proses lyriques divided into
de reve," de greve," "de fleurs,"
de soir." Her voice is a pure and
clear soprano and her intuitive feel
ing for the poetic sentiment of these
lovely songs were finely restrained
and richly expressive. An ovation
rewarded her with several recalls.
The program concluded with the
