seem to be no nearer to the END
today than we were seven years
ago. Although there is much talk
of economy, there is more talk OF
bigger and better subsidies. Re-
lief costs continue to mount yet
the number of employed do not
show any encouragement. There
is a cure for our ills If we would
only stop this spending, and look

MR.. AND MRS. BEWLEY
MARRIED FORTY-THREE
YEARS

Postmaster J. H. Bewley was
the most surprised man in town
Monday night. While busy with
the duties of the Office a message
of urgency was delivered to him
needing his quick presence at
home. He was alarmed lest some
thing serious had happened to Mrs.
Bewley, and he hurried thither
with his heart in his throat to find
on opening the door the house fill
ed with people, and with counten-
ances that didn't look at all as if
anything serious was the matter,
but on the contrary were bright
and joyous. He saw he had been
taken in, and that in his own
home. Mrs Bewley was as much
surprised but had no occasion for
alarm when about eight o'clock
they came from a neighbor's where
they had gathered, in swelling
numbers. From this time for the
next hour friends were dropping in
until the company reached 125 or
80 in number, young people as
well as middle aged and elderly
persons. The social aspect Of the
occasion was to commemorate
their 43rd wedding anniversary
This. Of course, included a feast
which the guests had provided II
profusion-S Stevenson's ice cream
delicious cakes and fruits. But as
big a surprise still awaited Mr.. ano
Mrs. Bewley. On being conducted
to the refreshment room they were
brought in full view of a very
handsome sideboard of antique OAK
which contained the individual
presents of the near relatives, anc
looking as if it felt quite as mucf
at home as they did. This was
most too much for both Of them
as was manifested in Mr.. BeW'
ley's choked voice in attempting K
reply to Rev. william S. Robin
sons presentation speech, but Mrs
Bewley who had recovered herseh
and who has helped him out q
many a scrape before, happily
came to his relief with one Of those
bright utterances at which she il
SO ready, that sent a merry laugf
running around the room. Int
evening was one of real socla
pleasure throughout. The young
engaged in quiet sport and games
the older in conversation or in 81
lently enjoying that which divert'
and interests others. 1t was mid
night when the younger portion
who say they had rather come las
than not, had finished at the re
freshment table. The Smyrna or
chestra was present most OF tn
evening, to harmonic the bable o
voices with the strain of music
Mrs. Bewley has been a residen
of Smyrna all her life. 1t has beel
So years since he came here from
Queen Anne's county, Md, to en-
ter the store of the late Ex-Gov
Temple. There are but three mar
ried couples now living in the tow
that were here when they wer
married AZ years ago-Mr. an
Mrs. z. j. Colt, Mr.. and Mrs. "
b. Collins, and Mr.. and Mrs. Thom
as f. Jefferson, ,Sr. There are but 3
persons all told including schoC
boys and girls, that were living ]
Smyrna when Mr.. Bewley cam
here 81 years ago.

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY

of Doings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

The greater number of subway
sleepers are men, of course. But
occasionally there are women and
even girls. At 168th street I saw
woman and two girls sleeping on
bench in the station. Evidently
mother and her daughters with no
home. For quite some time after
that, New York didn't have the
same glitter.
While shack dwellers have dis
appeared from Central park-the
old reservoir that was once their
home has been filled in and turned
into a playground-th city's great
midtown breathing space still has
a number Of permanent dwellers.
For them, clumps of bushes are
bedroom. Or they sleep among the
rocks as did cave-dwelling ances-
tors Drinking fountains furnish wa
ter for washing and shaving. An
odd job now and then. or panhan-
ding, brings money for food. Po-
lice on duty in the park are sup
posed to chase or arrest such va
grants. But the cops are few and
hiding places many.
The water front is a refuge for
many derelicts. To them rotting
piers are homes. Some are fortu-
nate enough to find straw-flled pack
ing cases. Others stretch out on
stringpieces. Broken by the buffet
ings of misfortune or sodden through
liquor, they slumber wherever they
lie. On occasions, caught perhaps
by nightmare, a derelict rolls in his
sleep. And days later. the tide gives

OPEN FORUM
Of Appreciation
From Mr.. keeney
Missoula, Montana,
July 20. 1899.

The Keeney case in which you
took an interest has finally been
won. By a Al decision of the Mon
tana Supreme Court, handed down
on June II, 1889, the district court
decision was upheld, reinstating me
in my position as librarian and pro-
fessor of library economy at Mon
tana State University, and awarding
me payment of back salary from
September 1, 1887, when I was "un-
lawfully precluded" from perform
ing my duties.
To all of those who have support
ed me in this long and arduous fight,
Mrs. Keeney and I feel a debt of
gratitude that we can repay only by
continuing to stand steadfastly for
those issues all progressive forces
believe in-civil liberties, freedom of
teaching and inquiry, job security,
and a decent standard of living for
all.
Victory after these twenty-seven
months of struggle is very sweet.
We hope that its fruits will be shared
by all those who have helped to win
it: personal friends, academic and
professional colleagues, national as
sociations, and particularly by our
brothers and sisters in the ranks of
organized labor who made it pos
sible to carry the case to successful
conclusion in the courts. To all we
express our warm appreciation.
But the victory would not be worth
what it has cost us if we did not
learn from it certain lessons that
need not be learned again. The most
important lesson is that no profess
sional worker can enjoy full eco
nomic security until he is protected
by law in the performance of his
duty. Resolutions of protest and
moral suasion will not move admin
istrative agencies which are already
committed to unfair procedures. I'm
til professional workers come within
the purview of the National Labor
Relations Act or little Wagner" acts
of the several states, they will con-
tinue to be subject to discrimination,
dismissal without hearing and con-
sequent loss of reputation through
SANDER. Organized labor in indus
try has won its Magma Charta in the
Wagner act and has so far prevent
ed the acts emasculation by amend
ment in this session of Congress. We

Lumber Workers Vote Down
Wage Cut

At a joint meeting of the Lumber
and Sawmill Workers Locals 1881
of Libby and 1862 of Troy held at
Libby Saturday night, July %, a
vote was taken on the Scent per
hour wage cut proposed by the ].
Neils Lumber Co. The cut was over
whelmingly rejected by the union
members attending the meeting, the
vote being 1913 against the cut to
only 9 for it.
Nineteen new members were ini-
tiated at the meeting and it is re-
ported that the membership is
steadily growing as negotiations with
the company for a signed agreement
continue.
c. A. Paddock, Lumber and Saw
mill Workers organizer, accompanied
by a delegation from Flathead county
unions, attended the meeting in the
interest Of unity among the Lumber
and Sawmill Workers and the In
land Empire District Council con-
vention being held in Kalispell July
% and 30. Nelson Weaver, president
of Somers Local 1904; Otto Schultz,
president of Kalispell Local 2773;
R. R. Ricketts, of Local 2773, and
Perry Melton, secretary of the Kalis-
pell Central Trades and Labor Coun-
ell made up the party of visitors tc
Libby and they report that the meet
ing was a very efficiently conducted
one, indicating that unionism in Lin.
coin county is not lacking for com.
petent leadership.
Preliminary plans for a joint picnic
of Troy, Libby, Kalispell, Somers
and Columbia Falls Lumber anc
Sawmill Workers members to b.
held at Logan Memorial Park Angus.
q, were made at the meeting il
Libby, the fact being stressed by
several speakers that unity can bes
be cultivated through as many socia
contacts as it is possible to arrange
When the Kalispell-Libby highway
now underconstruction, is completed
it is expected that joint meetings o.
the union members of Flathead anC
Lincoln will be held quite often.

work in whereas the reverse is true.
Certainly there are some places
where men can work hard with a
fair degree of comfort and it is even
that one or two places near
the air shafts are uncomfortably cool
but these are very, very few in num-
Der. Most of the places are hot, ter
ribly hot in spite of all that has
been done to cool them off. The
drifts in many cases are low, tortor-
Gus passages with just enough room
for a small electric locomotive to
pass. The slopes are often narrow
little cubby holes with sloping floors
where a man has a hell of a time
to keep his balance. Try to do the
amount of work demanded by the
boss in such places as these and then
consider whether the miners are en-
titled to eight hours from collar to
collar. Working under these condi-
tons is extremely unhealthy, the
high percentage of deaths from tu-
berculosis in Butte, and the likewise
high percentage of ~silicosis (27 per
cent of Butte miners dying from this
diseased will bear eloquent testi-
mony to that fact. If the general
public were acquainted with the &C.
,tual conditions prevalent in most of
the Butte mines they would I'M
doubtedly be Of the opinion that the
miners, so far from being unreason-
able in their demand for eight hours
from collar to collar, should be ask
ing for six hours.

American Federation of Labor, and
I. M. Ornburn, secretary-treasurer
Of the Union Label Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation OF
Labor.
Following the White House con-
ference, Mr.. Green said:
we had a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and we discussed the
elimination of the prevailing rate of
wages section from the relief bill.
We discussed the matter quite fully
and represented to him the great
dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the country and stressed
the need for correcting the situation
Zone thing stood out in the dis
cussion and that was that above and
beyond all else the union wage
scales must be maintained. The
President is going to explore two
or three recommendations that we
made to him and see what can be
done"
Mr.. Green said that the dismissal
of WPA workers after five days Of
absence had also been taken up with
the President and that the Chief
Executive had been asked to inter
vene and protect the strikers from
discrimination.
The distress among artists, theatre
cal performers and musicians wa;
also taken up with the President
according to Mr.. Green. He sale
that the committee had earnestly re.
quested that something be done fol
these groups.

those workers who have been
struggling along trying to make both
ends meet and to keep the wolf
from the door on a measly $500 or
so per month, any comment on the
necessity of this increase is superflu-
Gus. The harassed business men,
particularly the hometown mer-
chants, with the constant threat of
bankruptcy hanging like the sword
of Damocles forever over their heads
due to the pitiful purchasing power
of the workers on whom they depend
for a living, will likewise see the
imperative necessity of this proposed
increase in wages and will heartily
welcome its granting by the A C. M.
Co. The prosperity of any commu-
nifty depends on the purchasing pow
er of the workers in its basic indus
try and there is no question that
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls
have fallen to a lamentably low level
due to the inadequate wages paid to
the workers in the mines and
shelters.

Great Interest Shown in
Negotiations

Negotiations
Great interest is being shown by
all the workers in the negotiations
just commenced and considerable
speculation is rife as to the outcome
of same. 1t is the general opinion
that with the substantial increase
both in the domestic demand for
copper and its increased price,
coupled with the considerable re-
duction in cost per pound and the
enormous increase in profits accruing
through the increase in the price of
silver this demand for an increase in
wages will meet with slight if any
objection on the part of the com
pany. However, should any objec-
ton develop it would appear that
the united sentiment behind the de-
sire for an increase in wages would
be able to overcome such objection.
8 Hours, Collar to Collar,
Also Asked by Miners
In addition to the basic demand
for the 20 per cent increase in wages
the miners are asking for 8 hours
from collar to collar and a clause in
the agreement providing for the
recognition Of mine committees. The
other unions are requesting some
changes in differentials, vacations
with pay, depending on length of
service with the company and all
are asking for a guarantee of a SIS
minimum wage. All in all the de-
mands are brief and eminently fair
and it is confidently hoped that the
negotiations will be successful.-Re-

but also those who have been APP

course of the talk, condemnation
was expressed over the efforts of
the various Chambers of Commerce
and especially the United States
Chamber of Commerce to mutilate
and emasculate laws that had been
passed in the interests of organized
labor. It was suggested during the
talk that Labor begin an investiga-

which operated detrimentally to
