COMMISSION
SAYS GREAT FALLS
PEOPLE ENTITLED TO A
IN RATES

Paul T. Smith, Horace F. Casey,
and Austin B. Middleton, members
of the Public Service Commission of
Montana, announced today that rates
submitted on April "a, 1889, by the
Great Falls Gas Company were dis
approved by the commission.
The members of the commission
stated that the rates submitted on
April "a, 1889, by the Great Falls
Gas Company did not represent an
appreciate or substantial reduction
and the rates particularly did not
represent a reduction as far as the
small consumer is concerned.
Members of the commission furth-
by the Great Falls Gas Company
by the Great Falls Gass Company
on April "a, 1889, have been the only
rates formally submitted for its con-
sideration by the Great Falls Gas
Company since the present rates
were approved by a former commits
sion on February 6, 1881.
Members of the commission stated
that the commission has been making
an investigation of the rates charged
by the Great Falls Gas Company for
the past several months and its en-
gineer and auditor have but recently
completed and submitted to the
commission their respective reports.
From the reports submitted by the
auditor and engineer for the COM
mission, members of the commission
stated that the rates submitted by
the Great Falls Gas Company on
April "a, 1889, appeared to be too
high and that the consumers of gas
and Great Falls were entitled to a
more substantial reduction in rates
than those proposed by the Great
Falls Utility Company.
Members of the commission furth-
er stated that while the commission
had not formally received any rates
for approval submitted by the Great
Falls Gas Company prior to April
"a, 1889, that it assumed that the
rates submitted by the Great Falls
Gas Company on April "a, 1889, were
the rates much referred to by per-
sons in Great Falls during the past
several months.
After disappearing the proposed
rates submitted on April "a, 1889,
the commission issued an order to
the Great Falls Gas Company order
ing it to show cause in Great Falls
on May "a, 1889, why the present
rates charged by the Great Falls
Gas Company and the rates sub
mitted to the commission by the
Great Falls Gas Company on April
"a, 1899, should not be substantially
reduced.

HAPPENINGS OF The
CENTRAL LABOR BODY

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council received a letter from War
rem D. Mullin, secretary of the Ma
tional Council for Prevention of
War, expressing the appreciation of
that organization for the cooperation
of the Trades and Labor Council and
the unions here in supporting the
war referendum. This measure is
designed to have the people vote on
the question of whether we shall be
engaged in any foreign war and this
power taken out of the hands of
Congress. Congress would still re-
tain its province of declaring war
should any nation invade this coun-
try or should any nation invade the
western hemisphere.
Both Senator Wheeler and Senator
Murray replied to communications
sent them in regard to the pecan in
dustry in Texas. The Trades and
Labor Council were informed by the
agricultural workers some time ago
that a resolution should be passed
exempting the pecan industry from
the operations of the wages and
hours act or modify its provision so
as to make it possible for the indus
try to operate. However, since the
letter was sent to Senators Wheeler
and Murray, the matter has been
adjusted by the pecan industry itself.
A letter was received from Con-
gresham J. T%horkelson stating that
he would give careful consideration
to the proposed Ludlow Referendum.
The referendum relates again to
people voting on the United States
going to war overseas.

All trouble between the American
Packing Company and the Butchers
Union has been settled, according to
report made to the Trades and Labor
Council. All products of this firm

tana. However, complaint came in

boycott of the unions there was still
on against the Swift products.
All members of organized labor
are urged to hear DR.. Charles C.
Weber at the Methodist church,
corner of Second and Arizona, on
May 18th. He will speak on eco
nomic questions in the United States.
The Workers Alliance of Great
Falls at their own request was given
copies of a resolution condemning
Barclay Craighead for alleged politi-
cal participation in the last election.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council donated a sum of money to
the Fourth of July celebration. A
