I'VE are convinced" Fletcher said,
from the reactions received from our
1888 and 1889 publications that more
elaborate publication attracts more at
tention and produces far better re-
suits"
ne said the department will con-
centrate its efforts on a zone which
Is roughly three days driving time
from Montana. That zone, he said, ex-
tends as far east as Chicago, as far
west as the Pacific northwest and as
far south as southern California.
In 1899 1t contributed 299 percent
of the Montana travel and had Isl
percent of the total automobile regis

Approximately 24,4S6 more Mon
tana workers now are employed in
industries subject to the unem-
plOyment compensation law than
were in February of this year,
when only 64,564 workers were en-
plOyed in covered industries Bar
clay Craighead, chairman of the
unemployment compensation COM
mission, has announced.
The employment and business re-
| vival in Montana has been remarkable
and. while slowing down, continued
4 against expected seasonal trends,
+ Craighead said.
1T is possible that the top figure
of employment in Montana, that OF
! July. 1887. when 81 ,009 workers were
employed, may be surpassed before the
end of the year. Statistics of the COM
mission indicate that now about $4,000
workers are in employment subject
to the state job insurance law.
THE rise started in March, when
1882 more workers were employed
than in February. In April, 1916 more
workers had found jobs than were
working in February. and in June
1888 more workers had secured en-
ployment than were employed in Feb
ruary
This fall the reopening of four
Butte mines. the manganese plant at
Butte. and the consequent additional
employment at Rocker. at the Sawmlll
at Bonner. in the woods Of western
Montana, the smelter at Anaconda and
the reduction plant and wire mill at
Great Falls provided forward impact
for employment and business that
swelled the total of employment to
the $4,000 mark"
-0FJ
Montana employers would need more
clerks and that administrative person.
mel and other incidental labor would
be needed by the first of the year,
but a reduction of contracting and
outdoor activities would hold totals
to approximately present levels.
The file of those registered for jobs
with the employment service division
of the commission declined 1920 from
35,063 at the end of February, to q, l43
at the end of october, despite the
fact that many of the 1000 unem-
ployed workers who filed claims for
benefits registered for work after July
Of this year.
The Butte employment office re-
ported that 1855 men had gone back
to work in the Butte mines in the
past five weeks, bringing the total
to 6.100.
Workers in covered industries earned
81, 685, 579 more in the months Of April,
May and June than in the first three
months of the year The second calen-
dar quarter payroll amounted to $25,-
asa, 421 81. It is likely that the last six
months of 1889 will show a decided
payroll increase over the SAT, 998, 1863
paid workers in the first six months
of the year
All in all. the present picture for
Montana is brighter than 1t has been
for years Many are still unemployed,
but now they may look forward to
getting a job with more confidence
than at any time since early 1897.

Progress in Montana Mining

BY CARL j. TRAUERAEAN Mining Engineer Butte Montana
President, Mining Association Of Montana
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-05
More Changes For Waterbury?

Waterbury is assured of sweeping changes in its city charter, come what may this fall. Not only will the city's voters have a chance to decide on what form of government they want in October, but, if this referendum upholds the pres ent methods, there will be charter changes galore. The General Assembly was good tc Senator George T. Culhane Saturday and under suspension of rules both houses passed the omnibus charter bill which calls for all manner of changes.
 This bill is combination of proposals offered by practically all of Waterbury's legislators as well as some of those urged by COP Town Chairman J. Warren Up- son. Many of them are really worth while and will be appreciated by the great majority of citizens. We feel pretty sure, too, that taken as a whole the proposed charter amendments should affect few economies that all of us will very much appreciate.
 It must be remembered, though, that the charter changes will not go into effect if the city manager form of government is approved in October. We're not saying this as an argument against city man. ager government, but merely to keep the record clear. The charter changes will materialize only if and when the city continues to elect officials as it has been in the past, this same procedure, under the referendum bill, to take place month after the vote on the city manager
