Butte Miners Union viii
Sponsor Baseball Team
OrganizatiOnal Meeting April 2Srd.

The Butte Miners Union at its
meeting April 18th decided to spon-
sor a baseball team which will be
entered in the City League. All
members of the union, who are base
ball players, should attend the or
%ganization meeting, which will be
held next Sunday, April 29rd, at the
Miners hall.
It is expected that this move on
the part of the union will create a
new interest for many of the men,
bers, who sometimes get weary of
the more serious business which re-
quires the attention of the union
most of the time.
Later on the active sports com
mittee will undoubtedly make
further suggestions to the union on
entering teams in other sports be-
sides baseball.
The committee members are Dan
Orlich, VIM. Pickthall, Richard Hill,
and Paddy Doran. They report that
the membership of the union are
much enthused about this sports
program and much will probably be
heard in the coming months about
the prowess of the Miners Union
baseball team. We wish them all the
luck in the world and expect that
they will lead the league.

omic problems covering the "inevi-
table" Cycles Of Depression as ex-
planned by College professors and
writer's on social topics, and the per-

ECONOMIC SALIVA
BASED ON Adolf
OF The TOWNSEF

Townsend Club No. 2 hsored
a social last Monday at tio Lowell
avenue church to a capacity crowd
and well pleased.
The guest of honor, Rev. Bert
Powell, gave a testimony of his
views on the Townsend Plan. Rev.
Powell was president of the Town
send Club in Livingston during his
residence there.
He urged that the general public
try and see the benefit of the Town
send Plan for the sake of their
children and not to remain ignorant
of the chance they have to help
young ones and not let them wander
the streets, and eventually this idle
ness may lead to petty crime and if
not the best they can get is WPA
work. It is time we put a stop to
machine power eliminating man
power of production. Rev. Powell
also stated that he liked the Town
send Plan because it proposes a pay
as-you-go system or the only fair
taxation or the transaction tax.
The following array of talent,
under the direction of Mr.. Leo
Dougherty, participated in the pro-
gram: Accordion solos by Doreen
Gustafson, a vocal solo by Kathryn
Berry accompanying herself on the
piano, Irish recitation by Billie
Dougherty, piano rendition by Rose
Mary Keaveny, one number played
by Miss Keaveny was performed by
her left hand an excellent feat for a
juvenile; a vocal solo by Mabel Cor
in, accompanied by Evelyn Kelly;
violin selections by Gladys Sykes,
accompanied on the piano by That's
jenkins; a duet by Gladys Sykes,
Evelyn Kelly, accompanied by That's
Jenkins on the piano.
Refreshments were served by Mrs.
Marie Swift. A handmade quilt
made by the ladies auxiliary of the
club was ratified and the proceeds
are to be used to finance a delegation
to the Townsend national convention
in Indianapolis, Ind, in June.
Mr.. George Swift presided, David
Hooking secretary. Next meeting
Monday at the church parlors. The
public is urged to attend all our
meetings.

Philip O. keeneY Calls
Attention 10 Bizarre Re-
quest OF Pres. Simmons

Philip o. Keeney, former librarian
at the State University at Missoula
who was discharged by the State
Board of Equalization in April, 1887
and whose case is now before the
Mont. State Supreme Court, brings
to the attention of the people of the
state of Montana a very peculiar ac-
tion on the part of President Sim
mons of the State University. The
unions allege that Professor Keeney
was discharged because of his I'M
ion activities, the professors having
organized a union there just before
Keeney's dismissal.
The Montana Federation of Labor
is taking an active part in this fight,
A report of the Teachers interna-
tional union was made in the Mon
tana Labor News last week to which
your attention is called.
The letter from Mr. Keeney fol-
lows:
1t has come to my notice that the
Mont. Board of Education on April
10, 1899, approved President Sim
mons proposal to assess the salaries
of faculty members of Montana State
University in order to pay the
amount due me if the Montana Su-
preme Court upholds Judge Pad
bury's decision, ordering my rein
statement. In this singular pro-
posal, there are three discrepancies:
1. The amount due, up to June
l, 1889, is in the neighborhood of
$4,000, not $4,000. To what pur-
pose is the additional $4,000 TO be
devoted?
2. It is established practice in
every reputable business office to
carry a reserve for sums that may
be due as a result Of court action.
Why was such a reserve not carried
in the accounts Of the University?
3. No librarian was appointed to
replace me, a fact which indicates
that the University administration
has realized that the matter of my
dismissal is not a closed issue. My
salary has not been paid to a sue
cessor. To what purpose has this
money been devoted?
It should be pointed out also that
if the Montana Supreme Court up
holds Judge Padbury's decision, it
will not only be ordering my rein
statement to the faculty. Of far
greater importance is the fact that
the Supreme Court will be affirming
the principle of tenure for faculty
members. The principle of tenure
has been established in all reputable
institutions Of higher learning as an
essential safeguard Of freedom of
teaching and inquiry. Upon free
dom of teaching and inquiry in edu-
cational institutions rests the future
of our democracy.
Very truly yours,
PHILIP o. KEENEY.
