SPIRIT OF LABOR
HELD STRENGTH
OF ANY NATION

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Sept. S,
1939.-(A. P.)-The strength of a
nation depends on the spirit of its
wage earners, Charles V. McLaugh-
lin, assistant secretary of labor, said
Monday night in an address under
the auspices of the Cascade County
Trades and Labor Assembly. A
celebration sponsored by the AS
sembly included a parade, rodeo,
motorcycle racing and a night show.
Mclaughlin emphasized the i'm
portance of the worker in the eco
nomic structure of the community
and said where the wage Garner
does not receive adequate pay, pro
duction outruns demand, unstable
goods piles up in warehouses and
the machinery of industry stops"
He recited that organized labor is
making steady gains and that many
contracts now being signed with
employers contain increased bene-
fits and advantages for the worker.
The assistant secretary told of his
attendance in June this year of the
international labor office conference
at Geneva, where maximum hours
and minimum pay problems were
considered. He discussed activities
of the federal government in deal
ing with employer-employee dis
agreements. The government, Nc
said, is increasingly effec-
tive in its mediatory efforts in labor
disputes.
The celebration drew delegations
several Montana communities
In addition to union groups, several
.fraternal organizations marched in

the CLIO locals. It may, or may not,
be significant that the officials spent
more time with a handful of crafts
men than with the 5000 men repre-
scented by the four large CLIO locals.
At all meetings with the company
officials, the Butte Miners Union
committee presented and argued for
the miners demands honestly and
f~earlessly and with all the ability
at their command. The discussions
on the demands consumed several
days.
The officials of the company then
proceeded to hear the craft unions.
After they had heard the electric
workers they, at a conference on
September IL, announced their I'M
welcome offer.
In their offer the officials of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
completely ignored the Butte Miners
Union request for an eight-hour
collar to collar work day, mine
grievance committees and several
minor adjustments in the contract
system.
It turned out to be that while the
officials Of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company listened to the
workers requests they did not hear
them.
In view of the foregoing it will be
seen that there is no use wasting
any more time and effort with con-
ferences, pleading or otherwise. A
decision such as that taken by the
special meeting at the Fox theater
to be carried out on Wednesday is
the only means.-Miners Voice.

ing for these five men.
Mr.. Merriam is also a member oil
the University Teachers Union. He
is chairman of the English depart
ment which has been known through
the years as a liberal-minded de-
partment in the University. Mr..
Merriam has also been nationally
known as the editor Of The Frontier
and Midland magazine.
Dean Mollett and DR.. Lennes have
been teaching at the University for
26 years. The treatment of Dean
Mollett by the state board seems to
many persons to be as inhumane as
the treatment Of DR.. Rowe in 1887.
DR.. Rowe, who had been teaching
at the University for So years, was
put on a month-to-month salary
basis. He had been temporary chair
man of the new Teachers Union just
before he was Inundated.
DR.. Lennes was one of the very
few faculty members who favored
the selection of DR.. Simmons for the
University presidency in 1885. In
the years since he has had to dis
agree with 50 many of President
Simmons decisions and policies that
he is no longer considered an asset
to the University, by the president.
He is nationally known as a writer
of mathematics textbooks.
The board provided that if the
accused professors do not turn in
their designations promptly they will
hold a special meeting for a hearing.
They have knocked down their vic
TINS. Now they offer them the
chance to come and say that they
did not deserve the beating,
Labor must fight again as it fought
before for fair treatment for these
men, three of whom have suffered
because they have dared to take an
active part in the labor movement.

State University has an administra-
ton that will not take its directions
from the corporate interests of the

Proposals Rejected by
Overwhelming Vote
Continued from Page d

in the ensuing discussion from the
floor general dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed.
Upon the conclusion of the fore
going, the floor was open to general
discussion on the contract as changed,
and as proposed by the company.
The conduct of the debate was most
democratic and the exact reverse of
that as reported by the Montana
Standard of Monday. The function
of the conference committee mem
bers was to explain the proposition
and make a recommendation and
after doing this agreed to abide by
the decision of the meeting. Nothing
was stacked nor was any preference
shown to those in the meeting de-
string to express their opinion one
way or the other.
After a healthy discussion of the
changed contract during which all
views were freely expressed a mo-
ton was made to reject the COM
pany's proposition. Upon a stand
ing vote, the recommendation of the
committee was then concurred in,
with LOO miners for and only five
against.
What to do after this was then
considered and it was held that a
strike vote was the only other alter
native because previous experience
had demonstrated that a rejection
at a meeting and a return of the con-
ference committee had no effect on
the company. A motion to hold a
strike vote on Wednesday, Sept. 20,
1889, as to whether or not to strike
for the original edmands of the I'M
ion, was made, seconded and carried
unanimously
Following is the agreed form of
ballot to be used:

A letter from Tony Pinski, Jr., Of

President Steinmetz inquiring as tc
his standing with the Trades and
Labor Assembly. This inquiry be-
ing due to the fact that Mr.. Pinski
acted as a strike breaker during the
recent controversy with the local
picture houses. Due to the fact that
the Theatrical Employees division
of the miscellaneous help had placed
a bill of 500 against Mr.. Pinski, the
secretary was instructed to notify
him of their action.
It was also reported that the Great

NEWS OF THE SILVER.
BOW TRADES COUNCIL.

At the meeting last Tuesday OF
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, Senator Wheeler in a COM
m%unication stated that he would
never vote to send an American boy
to any foreign soil and from Con
gress came a notice that Congress
man Thorkelson would give the
question Of American neutrality his
attention.
The blacksmiths' organization of
Butte notified the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council that it felt that
there was not enough union labeled
goods stocked in the stores of Silver
Bow county and that if the unions
would look into the matter they
could induce the merchants to have
more unionized merchandise placed
on the shelves Of the stores in Butte.
The subject was sent to the union
label committee who will probably
make a survey of the stores of Silver
Bow county and check on what mer-
chants r handling union-made
goods and who are not.
An interesting letter was received
from the Shelby Sheet Metal Works
stating that the Public Works Ad-
m%inistration was chiseling on wages
in that community. The letter stated
that instead of the mechanics e
ceiving SIPS to $3.50 an hour they
were only receiving so to go cents
an hour. The letter asked assistance
from the Trades and Labor Council
in Strengthening up the matter. It
was brought out that the party who
wrote the letter should get in touch
with Miles Romney or the Public
Works Administration in Washing
ton.
Clarence Blewett was appointed to
represent the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council at a meeting to be
held by the Workers Alliance in
Silver Bow county, October 1, at
which time David LASER, national
president of the organization, will
be in Butte. The Workers Alliance
plan to have a mass meeting October
l, 8 p. m, at the Miners Union hall,
and on Monday morning there will
be a meeting with a number of lead
ers of the labor organizations in
the WPA officials and officers
Of the Workers Alliance. Blewett
was also authorized to attend this
Monday morning meeting.
Another communication came in
the National Maritime Union
aid to boycott certain oils
and gases.
The Council went on record de-
handing that James Combo be APP
pointed to a position in the Works
Progress Administration organiza-
ton. Mr.. Combo was formerly re-
director for the WPA. AT a
meeting of a group of labor people
W. B. Murray, son of Senator
Murray, and with Mr.. Mcmillan and
Mr.. Parker Of the WPA, it was
brought out that Senator Murray
intends to ask officers in Washing
ton that Mr.. Combo be re-employed.
The conference with Wheeler also
adduced a statement from him that
he would help MI. Combo. He men
toned that he felt Mr.. Combo had
been a victim Of misplaced conf
1ence.
Another new organization was
added to the Silver Bow Trades and
Council last Tuesday when
Miss Grace Neil and Mr.. Paul Fall
were received as delegates of the
Stenographers and Professional
Workers Union, an affiliate of the
Go.
