INVITED
TO HAVE FUN With
LADIES AUXILIARY

Plans made by the Ladies Aux
iliary of the Miners Union to hold a
picnic at the Nine Mile Inn Sunday,
August Is, promises to overshadow
any event of its kind this season.
An elaborate program of sports has
been prepared, including a boxing
attraction of the first calibre. This
phase of the program added to re-
freshments including beer, sand
witches, ice cream, pop and other
~delicacies will add piquancy and
relish to the festivities. Not salts
fled, however, with these attractions,
the women have made arrange
ments for other games which will
provide excitement and perhaps
some profit or loss.
A special invitation has been sent
to members of all unions in neigh
boring cities to participate with the
Ladies Auxiliary in their annual get
together meeting.
Not overlooking the nor studi-
Gus members of the picnickers, ex-
cellent speakers have been provided,
including Lee Metcalf of the attor-
ney generals office; Ed Mason, presi-
dent of the Miners Union, and for
mer Congressman Jerry j.. O'Col-
nell.
The committee on arrangements
consists of Jean Patterson and Ruth
Garwood, chairladies, and Elsie
Rentz, Stella Zorn, Mona Fitzpatrick,
Myrtle Knopp, Christine Mosher,
Dolly Tonkin, Mabel Dwyer, Pearl
Sessions, Alice Pickthall, Ella Mae
Byrnes, Bina Mehrens, and Mary

the Legislature. This petition is
to be sent to every member of the
Senate and House for his or her
signature requesting the Governor
of the state of Montana to call a
special session for the sole purpose
of appropriating sufficient money
to adequately care for u public
welfare department and to raise
sufficient revenue to offset this
appropriation. This round-rObin
call to the Governor will further
provide that each member of the
Senate and House will agree to
return to the state treasury his
entire pay vouchers for this spe-
ciaI session, the same to be credit
ed to the welfare fund; consequent
Iy, the only cost for said special
session will be the limited amount
of clerical help necessary with the
other incidental costs.
Certainly, then, the Governor can
not meet this request of the mem
bers for a special session with the
alibi that the cost cannot be borne by
the state at the present time.
Since the adjournment of the 26th
Legislature, the Congress of the
United States has modified the social
security act, greatly extending the
governments financial support in the
old age pension payments. There is
no doubt that our original benefit
and pension payments can be re-
stored or even increased from their
previous level without a very great
cost to the state. Can it be that the
Governor of our great state will re-
main obdurate, refusing to heed the
request of the members for a special
call of the assembly, at practically
no cost to the state, when thousands
of our aged, blind, and needy chill
dren are in want and distress ano
only the %reconvening Of our Legisla-
ture for a few days would satisfac'
torily settle the whole problem?

TORY WRE(kING BILL
HITS WORK PROJECTS

The full force of damaging
changes in WPA, ordered by re-
dictionaries in Congress, will be felt
in Butte during the next few weeks.
Already layoffs under the vicious
"18 Month Clause are taking place,
the 1870 hour provision cutting wage
rates in half is in effect and a cut
in monthly wages will take place
early in September. On top of this
the rs per cent sponsorship require
ment of the new relief act is forcing
sponsors to make an entire realign-
ment of project operations.
Local WPA authorities have esti-
mated that 80 per cent of the 2,100
men project workers and so per cent
of the 610 women workers in Silver
Bow county must, under the "18
Month Clause" be arbitrarily
dropped from rolls regardless of size
of family or other factors deter
mining need. OF the estimated 2,700
now working, close to 1000 will be
discharged before September l, vir-
tually paralyzing WPA operations in
the county.
Fired WPA workers have been
warned by WPA that because of
quota reductions they may not be
placed back at work for many
months, hence the community can
expect to suffer a permanent loss in
purchasing power of about $4,000
which the government program
made possible.
Perhaps the worst feature of the
generally obnoxious Woodrum bill
is the provision ordering Col. Har-
rington, national WPA commissioner,
to reduce monthly security earn
ings" in the North and West various
ly from SIS to $25. While Harring-
ton has given no indication of the
amount he intends to cut monthly
wages here, it is expected that an
~all-around reduction of from $40 to
$12 will be made throughout the
state.
Company Press SANDER
During the past week the local
company press, following a formula
used by Tory papers throughout the
country, have sought to charge re-
sponsibility for WPA's present cir
cumstance to building trades unions
here who have declined to accept
work for less than their scale. With
characteristic distortions they ask
the public to believe that 3,400 WPA
jobs are being jeopardized by the
action of organizations defending
their wage rates. Their version of
the local situation is of course en-
tirely false and merely a reflection
of their policy of discrediting labor
and the New Deal at every oppor-
tunity.
The disruption in local WPA oper-
atoms can be traced directly to the
Woodrum "WPA wrecking" bill
which was foisted on American peo-
pie by reactionary congressman and
senators as a means of helping the
Shutdown" strike of Big Business
against the New Deal. The callous
attitude of these congressman to the
needs Of the unemployed was best
expressed by Congressman Wood
rum, author of the bill, who said:
LET them squawk," when confront
ed with evidence Of demonstrations
and strikes over his bill.
Local labor organizations are pre-
pared to say that much "squawking'
of a kind that is not relished by re-
dictionaries will be done between
now and the next session of Con-
gress when changes in the act will
be demanded.

HAPPENINGS OF The
CENTRAL LABOR BODY

Delegate Deloughery of the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council, who
represents the unions on the Silver
Bow County Planning Board, re-
ported that at the present time there
are 2,126 men and 652 women en-
ployed on 26 WPA projects. Mr..
Deloughery also stated that there
had not been a meeting Of the Plan
ming Board since July 10. The
Trades Council was quite critical
over the apparent attempt of the
employing interests of the other
members of the board to prevent
meetings of this organization. The
Planning Board is an advisory or
g%anization, recommending and adj
vising suitable projects for WPA
work. DR.. Potter is the chairman
of the board. The unions want to
know why the meetings Of the board
have been abandoned and unless
some announcement is made by the
chairman in the near future regard
ing the resumption of meetings, an
inquiry will be made.
Unions and individuals are re-
quested to assist financially in Gre
ating a fund so that Mr.. Phil O'Don-
nell, counselor for the Joint We'll
fare Committee, will have sufficient
funds to appeal to the Supreme
Court to issue a writ Of mandate
compelling the State Welfare Board
to provide more adequate relief or
show cause why they shouldn't.
Steve Harvey of the Miners Union
made the report. Mr.. Mernin of
the BARRIERS Union represents the
Trades and Labor Council on the
Welfare Committee. The Trades and
Labor Council appointed a special
committee of three to function with
the Building Trades and other or
CARNATIONS to try and force either a
special session of the Legislature or
compel the Welfare Board to give
more adequate allowances. People
who are not on relief are apparent
ly in ignorance of how bad the stu
alton is. Families of two persons,
that is man and wife, were receiving
$3.50 every two weeks. Anyone
with any humanitarian spirit at all
will realize that a man and woman
cannot possibly exist on that amount
of money. 1t appeared that in the
last allowance given, the amount
was raised a couple of dollars. Now,
however, agents for the Welfare
Commission are telling people who
are on relief that if they are able
to work, that they are in danger
of losing their relief entirely. It
would appear from these assertions,
that whether the man or woman
could find employment or not
wouldn't make any difference, they
would just not be given anything to
eat, if they are able to work. This is
probably the most heartless thing
the Welfare Board has done to the
present time.
.
Quite a discussion arose over the
unions attitude toward vocational
training in the schools, however, the
Trades and Labor Council went on
record as approving vocational
training and adopted a report sub
mitted by Charles Davis, president
of the Council, and who is now voca
tional director for Silver Bow county.
James Duncan, international rep
resentative of the Machinists Union,
was a visitor at the Trades and La
Dor Council last Tuesday.
