Dr.. Townsend Replaces
Original Measure

Townsend Clubs members were
surprised to learn that the bill
which was voted on last week was
not H. R. for which they had been
working. Representative Hendrick
of Florida presented H. R. 6466,
substitute for the original Town
send National Recovery Bill, intro
duced at the opening of the session
and called H. R. 2. The text of the
new bill and the full debate can be
found in the Congressional Records
of May 81 and June l. These Con-
gressional Records are on file in the
reading room of the Butte Free
Public Library, and should be read
by all Townsendites who desire to
be informed on matters pertaining
to the status of the Townsend Ma
tional Recovery Plan in Congress.
Butte Townsend Club No. l will
meet Friday night at the Y. M. C. A.

to the Social Security Board that
we are able to take care of the share
of the state and the counties for old
age assistance and aid to dependent
children for the month of June on
the same basis as these payments
have been made for April and May.
When submitting our application for
federal funds for these services for
April May and June, we were un-
able to show that we had sufficient
funds to carry on the program for
June on the same basis as for the
months Of April and May. Silver
Bow county has come to our assist
ance and to some extent also Deer
Lodge county, and we are now very
close to the point where we hope to
be able to satisfy the Social Security
Board that we can take care Of the
June payment on the same basis as
for April and May.
You may rest assured that all the
funds made available for general
relief for the interim period ter
minating with June 80 will be fully
expended.
AS you are aware, there is now
a case pending in the Supreme Court
of the state against this department
which involves the question of the
amount of assistance to be paid by
this department. When this decision
has been rendered, we must of
course be governed thereby, what
ever the decision may be.
You may rest assured that this
will do all within its
power to assist the needy throughout
the state of Montana.
Respectfully yours,
l. M. Brandjord,
Administrator.

HAPPENINGS OF THE|
CENTRAL LABOR BODY

The Clerks Union reported they
are having difficulty with several
local dairies alleged to be delivering
to unfair stores. The grievance
committee of the council will in
quire into the complaint and try to
arrive at a satisfactory settlement
Information was received from the
California State Federation of Labor
that there is an over-supply OF
peaches; that if some of it is not
disposed of, the result may be dis
astrous to the peach canning indus
try, and many union workers suf-
fer Every member of organized
labor is urged to buy at least two
cans of peaches each week, to help
dispose of the surplus. Research
shows peaches have a high rate of
vitamins.
The Librarians Union reported
that the present staff employed at
the Butte Free Public Library is
inadequate to take care of the num-
ber of people who use the facilities
of the library. The council appoint
ed a committee to ascertain if it is
not possible to have additional help.
A communication was received
from the Cascade Trades and Labor
Council suggesting that all unions
in the state of Montana affiliated
with the A. F. of L. send delegates
to the next convention of the State
Federation of Labor, which will be
held at Livingston, on June q. The
Cascade Council complained that
many unions have attempted to join
the State Federation and have been
denied on technicalities. These com
plants will undoubtedly receive due
consideration when the State Fed
Grafton convention meets.
Word was received from the Silver
Bow County Relief Conference that
the organization will meet again
Sunday, June II, at 2 p. m. The
meeting will devise ways and means
to secure adequate relief allotments
for those who are in need. The
meeting will be held in the old high
school, and all organizations are
invited to send representatives.
The Miners Union delegates re-
port that arrangements have been
completed for the big celebration
June 10, Miners Union Day. They
stated that regardless of the weather,
the speaking program will be held
at the Columbia Gardens, in the
dance pavilion and that one of the
largest crowds in Buttes history is
expected to turn out to hear Tom
Mooney, Senator Murray, James
Patton and County Attorney w. E.

OWN MANEUVERS MAKE
NO DIFFERENCE

Local Company officials in dis
cussions with the Miners Grievance
committees revealed that their chief
excuse for the low wages will be
poor market conditions" They
will answer the unions statement
on huge Anaconda Copper profits
with the usual story about Butte
mines operating at the cost of their
other properties.
Leaders of the allied unions know
that they are confronted with
stubborn anti-labor and anti-New
Deal attitude in the forthcoming
negotiations for changes in the con-
tract but they are determined to
see that the A. c. M. Co. shares some
of the responsibility for the vel
fare Of Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls communities. This is particu-
larly true of the officers and active
members of the Butte Miners Union
who led the movement for an alli-
ance of CIO and A. F. of L. labor in
the three cities.
Immediately following the confer
ence of the unions, the Butte Miners
Union as well as other of the allied
unions, will officially notify the
company Of their desire to open the
agreement and negotiate for changes.
The miners have already elected
negotiations committee composed
of R. c. Brown, VIM. Mason, Glen
Zorn, Winfield Plummer, Ed Mason,
Harry Baird, Donald Mundy, Denis
Mccarthy and Bill Tonkin.

FULL RECOGNITION OF MINE
GRIEVANCE SETUP ASKED

In order to effect better adjust
ment of the hundreds of grievances
arising out of the almost inhuman
condition in hot, dusty contracting
places in the several operating mines,
the miners are demanding recogni-
ton of union mine committees. This
demand is very popular, particularly
with miners who had personal ex-
periences with the unfair practices
of the mine managements and com
pany officials in settling past griev-
ances
The mine committees are not pro-
vided for in the existing agreement.
Setting up of such committees, with
out some guarantee of fairness on
the part of the company written
into the contract, is considered fu-
tile by the officers and members Of
the Butte Miners Union who have
had years of witnessing the under
handed, smoke screened discrimina-
ton against miners prominently ac-
tive on the job.

Conceding to the 8-hour collar-to-
collar demand would not increase
the operating cost on the Hill. It
would, however, be a victory of or
ganized Butte miners over the re-
dictionary officialdom of the Ana
conda company at 25 Broadway,
New York City, who fear giving in
even when it does not hurt their
pocketbook, will establish self con-
fidence on the part of Butte people,

Merchants Committee
Backs Overton Bill

The Executive Committee of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation yesterday expressed ap-
proval of the Overton bill which
would fix the amount of the annual
Federal appropriation for the Dis
trict Government on a percentage
plan based on the amount of land
owned by the United States in the
District.
Ford E. Young. president of the
association. said his group feels that
such an appropriation would be more
equitable than the present lump
sum plan.
The association also went on
record favoring the Fourth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV. site
for the poposed auditorium for
Washington. At the same ime it
approved location of an armory and
sports stadium at the end of East
Capitol street.

boom in the history of Great

boom in the history Of Great
Britain.
That has been my reply in the
past. Today I can add another
reply. It is: Find out for yourself
what has happened in the neigh
borhood OF every public housing
project in any city. When you in
vestigate, you will discover that the
experience of Great Britain Is being
duplicated in this country. New
stores, new motion picture theaters,
new homes are arising in the neigh
borhood OF every one of the new
housing projects. The private build
ing industry, keenly alive to the
neighborhood benefits of the public
housing project, is beginning to
build.
Saves Taxpayer Money.
The last question usually is, How
about the loss of local taxation?"
The loss in local tax revenue is the
amount of the taxes now actually
collected, directly or indirectly
from the low-income families who
will move into the new projects, but
these families now live in the slums
where tax revenues are very low and
municipal costs excessively high.
That small paper loss in tax revenue
Is offset many times over by the
gain in neighborhood rehabilitation
new taxable property created by
private building as a result of the
housing project, plus the savings to
the city by a reduction in juvenile
delinquency. in crime, in disease
The housing program does not cost
the city taxpayer added money 1t
saves him money in the long run
Today One-half of all the babies
born in this country are born in
families with an annual income of
less than $1,000. 1t is safe to say,
therefore, that nearly one-half OF
the citizens of tomorrow are being
brought up in the slums or blighted
shacks today.
Every year for the last 100 years
the number of slum dwellings in the
United States has grown The can
Ger OF the city slum nas increased
in size. In 1899 the time has come
to reverse this process, and that we
are now ooing. There are fewer
unfit dwellings in this country today
than there were year ago and
there will be still fewer a year hence
Arouses Community Interest.
A public housing program makes
men and women conscious of how
their neighbors live. what their city
is actually like and what it nigh,
be. The city that has slum clear.
ance and rehousing program unde.
way you will find. has better zonn2
ordinances, has cleaner streets. has
renewed interest in health problems
school problems and park problems
AS part OF the rehousing program
the interest Of the community is
aroused in putting its own house in
order.
There are requests before the
United States Housing Authority for
more than 100000, 900 for additional
housing projects. No funds are
available today and no further funds
will be available either for loans or
annual contributions until the Con-
gress authorizes an expansion. I
have every confidence that this Do
gram so finely launched is but the
beginning of what will be achieve; 4
as the Congress gives us added funds
to help more cities to wipe out mere
slumS.
