Workers Alliance Head
preditis Future Gain

David LASER, national president
of the Workers Alliance, on his
nationwide tour, is practically
taking in every part of the country
and his stay while in Butte is pretty
much of a pattern of his working
program in his entire itinerary.
AS a rule, he has a press confer
encc before a scheduled meeting,
and either before or at later date,
he has a conference with the local
WPA setup in conjunction with rep
resentatives of Workers Alliance
locals.
The day after his Sunday mass
meeting in Butte, he held a two-hour
conference with Parker and his
staff of WPA personnel and Work
ers Alliance delegates, bringing out
many things of considerable i'm
portance and had some adjustments
made in local affairs. On account
of his intimate acquaintance with
the national office and its workings,
he had some timely suggestions to
make, some of which were favorably
acted upon.
By the different locals adhering
to his six-point program, he pre-
diets substantial and concrete gains
in the near future.

Mines Increase Pay
Many Men Benefit
wallace, Ida.l

The lead-silver mining companies
of the district have increased the
prevailing wage scale so cents per
working day following the increased
price of metals. Higher metal prices
are expected and the wage scale
will correspondingly benefit as long
as metal prices are favorable. A
few years ago the companies had a
sliding wage scale which went up
and down from time to time as the
markets fluctuated, but this plan
has been abandoned because of revo-
lutionary changes in the whole
metal situation. That the wage in
crease is voluntarily announced by
the companies without demand from
the miners speaks well for the spirit
of fairness prevalent in local mining
affairs. The Coeur d'Alenes has the
reputation of being one of the high
wage camps of the world.
Notices of the present wage in
crease have been posted at the
Morning, Page, Jack Waite, Hecla
and Bunker Hill & Sullivan proper
ties. About 5000 men will benefit
by the new scale of pay.
The notice posted by the Federal
Mining & Smelling company, signed
by H. G. Washburn, general man.
ager, at the Morning reads as fol-
lows:
"Owing to the recent advances in
the market prices of lead and zinc
and in conformity with the com
pany's policy, all employees of this
company at its Morning and Page
mines will receive wage increases of
so cents per shift effective Septem-
Der 16, 1889.
"This wage increase is subject to
readjustment in the event present
metal prices are not maintained"
The timbermen will receive $6.75;
miners $625 and muckers $5.75.
The Sunshine silver mine has not
announced a wage increase since it
is not benefited by the lead and
zinc advances.
Leasers of the Gold Hunter mine
announce a wage increase of 81 a
shift to be effective September 16,
1889. About 40 men are employed.
This wage increase will bring the
pay of the men up to a par with the
wages paid by other mines here.

Miners and Engineers
Sign Agreements With
Anaconda Company.

The struggle between organized
labor and the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company in relation to sign
ing agreements have been COM
pleted. The only union at the pres
ent time which has not signed an
agreement with the company is the
Electricians. On the 18th day of
September the craft organizations
of Silver Bow county concluded
settlement with the company and
on September 80 the Miners Union
held a referendum vote which
adopted the new terms of a propo-
sition negotiated by the committee
of the union and officers of the
company. The local daily press car
ried the following story:
A new contract was signed this
morning by Butte Miners Union, No.
], and the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company. The contract is for two
years and is effective from Oct l,
1899, to Oct. l, 194l.
The contract was signed for the
company by D. M. Kelly, vice presi-
dent in charge of Montana opera
tions, and for the union by Edward
Mason president. The signatures
were affixed in the offices of the
Anaconda company at exactly ll:ll
a. m.
In addition to President Mason,
other representatives of the union
present when the contract was signed
were Paul Faul, Jr., recording secre-
tary; Harry Baird, Winfield Plum
mer, John McFadden and Martin
Hanson.
Company officials in attendance
in addition to Vice President Kelly
were w. H. Hoover, Western gen.
eral counsel; J. ]. Carrigan, general
superintendent of mines, and W. j..

Central Conference Of
American Rabbis En-
dorses Coop Move
Follow Similar Action by Pro-
testant and Catholic
Organizations

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Cen
tral Conference of American Rabbis,
at its convention here June 13 to
l8 gave its sympathetic support to
the aims and aspirations of the CO.
operative movement and urged its
people to help in the development
of "this peaceful effort to save our
democratic system" Endorsement
by the Conference of Rabbis fol-
lowed similar action by the Federal
Council of Churches (Protestant)
which has created a Committee on
the Church and Cooperatives in its
Industrial Division. Two years ago
the National Catholic Rural Life
Conference set up a Cooperative
Committee to encourage in the
United States the adult education
and cooperative program carried on
so successfully by St. Francis Xavier
University in Nova Scotia.
The resolution on cooperatives
passed by the Central Conference
of American Rabbis is as follows:
1.-THE Conference of American
Rabbis takes official cognizance of
the manner in which cooperative
economic movements are endeavor-
ing, by peaceful and democratic
methods, to bring about greater
measure of equity to the lives of
man; we heartily endorse the Co.
operative Movements motives and
aspirations and we pledge our in
terests and assistance in furthering
its social aims.
Moreover, we urge upon all our
people a serious favorable consid-
Grafton regarding the significance of
the movement, so that they may be
able to help in the development of
its salutary social values and adjust
their own lives to whatever might
prove to be the demands of this
peaceful effort to save our demo-
cratic system"
On May "a, one hundred promi-
nent clergymen of Protestant, Cath
olic and Jewish faiths issued a state
ment on Democracy and Economic
Planning which declared that "in
the democratic organization of our
production and distribution, con-
sumers' cooperatives can and should
exercise an increasing place" En-
dorsement by the Conference of
Rabbis followed a report on Co.
operatives by Rabbi Edward l..
Israel of Baltimore.

Huge Mass Meetings.
Members of Board of Education
Asked to Resign; President
Simmons Condemned for Mill
taristic Administration.

The following notice has been
sent to all unions in Montana by
the Montana Federation of Labor:
Your attention is called to the
situation at the Montana University.
The State Board of Education by
a majority vote adopted a motion
to request five of the professors at
the University to resign, the same
to be effective at the end of the
present school year Should the
professors refuse to resign a special
meeting of the Board of Education
is to be called when charges will
be preferred against the professors
and if found guilty they will be
promptly dismissed from the service.
AS a majority of the Board of Edu-
cation is biased against the profess
sors, dismissal can be expected. This
action was threatened at the meet
ing of the board in April, 1887, when
the board discharged Prof. Keeney
and the Keeney case being before
the courts delayed the dismissal of
the professors. The men are to be
dismissed for their union activity.
Prof. Atkinson, one of those asked
to resign, was president of the Mis-
soula Trades and Labor Council for
one year and refused last June to
stand for reelection. He is a high
class man, an able instructor and
well thought of by students that
have been in his classes.
Prof. Merriam, another of those
requested to resign, has been active
in the Teachers Union of Missoula.
When the Oregon University off
cials learned that he had been re-
quested to resign they promptly

WOMEN COMPLAIN
OF SEWING ROOM
PAY SCHEDULE

Many of the women working in
the sewing rooms are asking for a
reclassification of pay schedules.
The reason assigned for this request
is that they claim they are using
tailoring machines which should
come under the intermediate grad
ing of $62 month approximately.
The machines referred to, it is stated,
are considered as commercial manu-
featuring machines (tailoring ma
chines) and operators should be paid
at higher rate.
Women operating these machines
should be reclassified on the 18th
of October which is the beginning
of the new work period. It is true
that in some of the smaller work
rooms a different type of machine
is used, commonly referred to as
commercial dressmaking machines.
But in the instance relating to the
tailoring machines it would seem
that the women are entitled to a
higher classification.

MERRIAM IGNORED
BY INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE OF U.

September 80, before leaving the
Montana campus, Mr.. H. G. Mer-
riam made the following statements
for publication:
"When Judge c. D. Borton and
Mr.. George Gosman were on the
campus in April, was not called
before them although l asked diff
ferent people to tell them I wished
to be consulted. When they were
on the campus in July, l was in
Portland and completely out OF
touch with what was going on on
the campus, but they sent me no
written inquiry whatsoever; conse-
quently the committee has leveled
its accusations against me without
having any written or oral commu-
nication with me.
''The Frontier and Midland was
in better financial condition when
we suspended than for several years,
and every penny of Indebtedness
has been met at this date. (Sept. 30

COURT HANDS DOWN
BARGAINING DECISION

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.-(AP)
The third United States circuit
court of appeals holds that under
the national labor relations act en-
ployers must bargain collectively
not only with an employee majority,
but with a union of the majoritys
choice.
1T is obvious" the court declared
Thursday in a significant decision,
that an employer who enters into
negotiations with labor union rep
resenting his employees, with his
mind Theoretically sealed against
even the thought of entering into
an agreement with the union, is
guilty of refusing to bargain collec-
lively in good faith, as required by
the (Wagner) act"

Roosevelt for Third
Term Movie Released

Francisco and at the Young Demo-
Gratis convention in Pittsburgh, the
new musical short, "a Musical Mes

Townsend Club No. |
Starts Fall SoCiaIs

About one hundred and fifty
members and friends of Butte Town
send Club No. l enjoyed the first
of a series of social meetings Fri
day evening, Sept. 29, at the Y. M.

cal numbers by the Misses Madison,

GREEN FOR F. D. R.
ON NEUTRALITY
KeynOtes AFL Meet; 100000
Face Custer by Execu-
tive Council.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct 2.-The
59th convention of the American
Federation of Labor opening here
today heard its President William
Green declare for sale of arms to
Europe, "but no further"-no entry
into the new world war.
I'VE are willing to accept his
word and give him support in his
legislative program" said Green of
President Roosevelt in a keynote
speech to the first session of the
convention, with the understand
ing that it is for the purpose of
keeping US out of the European
war"
The AFL also heard, in the re-
port of its Executive Council, that
it might again slice off a section of
its membership, the largest slice
since it suspended the CIO unions
in 1887.
Two bOtOnS race Axe
The new sacrifice would be that
of the United Brewery, Flour,
Cereal and Soft Drink Workers. and
the International Typographical
Union. These two organizations
helped to found the AFL, and were
pioneers in the revival of the Ameri-
can labor movement after its almost
complete destruction in the Civil
War, last century.
The executive council, calling for
the ousting of the Brewery Work
ers, described such action as fitting
punishment for the unions appeal
to the courts against a decision Of
the AFL that it must turn over all
beer truck drivers to the Brother
hood Of Teamsters.
The time limit has also expired
for the International Typographical
Union, it was intimated. Unless all
signs fail, when six delegates now
here from the ITU claim their seats,
they will be refused on the ground
that they have not paid the special
assessment levied on all AFL unions
to create a war chest with which to
destroy the CIO.
