courage in voting against war in
1917, will address Butte people at
Columbia Gardens at the annual
Labor Day celebration sponsored by
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council Monday, September A. The
engagement Of Miss Rankin is par
ticularly opportune at this time
when the world is in filters over
the imminence Of war in Europe
and which may If begun, engulf
the United States. Miss Rankin in
face Of a war hysteris in which men
and women lost all reason, kept her
head and her courage and voted
mo" when the crucial time arrived.
She put human life and human
values above property rights. She
should captivate an audience of
Butte people. The other speaker,
Mike Mansfield, is an official of the
professors union at the University
of Montana. He is also a professor
in the institution and a cultured,
liberal, and fluent speaker.

sports, picnickers, and a dance in
the evening. The Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council extends an in
vitation to all unions in Silver Bow
County and also all unions in the
state of Montana to come to Butte
and enjoy the festivities. The public
also, whether affiliated with organ
lied labor or not, are asked to come
and share the occasion.
The Central Labor Council ex-
presses its sincere appreciation to
the merchants for their generous and
active cooperation and also to the

unstintingly gave their time and
effort.

HAPPENINGS OF THE
CENTRAL COUNCIL

A letter was received from the
Upholsterers Union of Spokane
complaining about the manufacture
of unfair caskets. The letter is as
follows:
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
I am having considerable diff
Guilty lining up the Inland Casket
Company, also the Spokane Casket
Company, as far as agreements are
concerned.
l am ure you are well aware Of
the fact that / am bucking tremen-
dous odds here in Spokane inasmuch
as it is a wide open non-union town.
I am therefore requesting you to
kindly contact McNalley Brothers of
the Montana Casket Company ask
ing their support in our attempt to
negotiate agreements here in Spo-
kane. / would also appreciate it if
you would contact the local morti-
clans in your city and ask that they
temporarily refrain from purchasing
any Inland Casket Company or Spo-
kane Casket Company Baskets. |
feel that if you will grant me this
fair request I will be able to con-
sumate our agreements much more
speedily in this territory, as l have
asked for like support in Montana
and Idaho.
Trusting that I may be favored
with an immediate reply and with
very best wishes, I am
Yours f~raternally,
Damon Cheney.
Morticians in Butte are urged to
take notice of the complaint men,
toned in this letter and If they are
using unfair merchandise to cease
such purchases.
Chairman Driscoll Of the Labor
Day celebration announced that
Jeanette Rankin and Mike Mans
field have been engaged to make
the principal addresses at Columbia
Gardens on Labor Day.
Combining business with pleasure,
the State Welfare Organization will
hold a sort of lawn luncheon and
party September 8 at Helena when
a statewide gathering to remon-
strate with state officials concern
ing inadequacy of relief allowances.
Trades unions, fraternal and civic
bodies, farm organizations are urged
to send delegates to the meeting.
The necessity of calling upon the
State Welfare Commission and other
officials to devise plans to assist
destitute people was never more
urgent than at the present time and
the purpose of the meeting is to
put the situation squarely up to the
welfare authorities and also the Gov
ernor and others responsible for the
critical situation of the poor. The
Trades and Labor Council at its
meeting adopted a resolution ex-
pressing its approval of the action

Woodwork Company
Unfair In MissouIa

MISSOULA. - The representative
of the F. w. Woolworth Company
has refused to confer with the
Commercial Trades Committee of
the Missoula County Trades and La
Dor Assembly. The Council con-
Cured in the action of the Missoula
Clerks Union, Local No. 991, R. C. /.
P. A., in declaring the F. W. Wool
worth Company unfair.
Facts of the Case
The company recently leased an
adjoining building occupied by two
establishments and removed the
partitions between the buildings,
converting them into one large store.
The remodeling of the building
was done by members of organized
labor. The work started May l,
1889, and was almost completed
August "a, 1889, which gave the
building trades workmen approx
mately four months work.
Because of the fact that this was
a union job, the representatives of
the Woolworth Company expect to
coast along at the expense of the
girls who will be employed by the
company for years to come.
The business agent of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Union,
Local No. 427, Missoula, notified the
representatives of the Woolworth
Company that members would not
work behind the clerks picket line.
The representatives of the company
laid off the members of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Union,
and opened the lunch counter Au-
gust Is with non-union help.
At the time of opening the store
there were several more days work
for the members Of the building
trades. Due to the fact that the
Missoula County Trades and Labor
Council had concurred in the action
of the Clerks Union, declaring the
F. W, Woolworth Company unfair,
the members of the building trades
refused to work.
The Transfers have refused to
make deliveries through the picket
line.
All organized labor in Missoula
county is supporting the Clerks in
their fight against the F, W. Wool
worth Company.

Bureau Analyses
Reduction in The
Tariff on Zinc

The 20 per cent reduction in the
import duty on zinc resulting from
the Canadian Trade Agreement
signed November IT, 1888, aggra-
waited the already unfavorable com
petitive position of the domestic
zinc industry, according to the Blu
eat of Mines, United States De-
partment of the Interior. AS stated
in Minerals Yearbook 1888 domestic
producers are at a disadvantage in
comparison with foreign producers
because of the lower grade of ore
found in domestic deposits. Costs
of production in the United States
are also influenced by higher wage
rates in this country. Formerly these
basic disadvantages were offset in
part by superior technology and
mechanization but in recent years
American mining practice has been
adopted abroad, particularly at sew
eral properties that have come into
production in the last decade and
foreign costs of production have
been reduced accordingly. The in
creased output coming from these
mines has been augmented by sub
sidized production from submarginal
deposits in various countries striving
for self-sufficiency and by increased
capacity and improved recovery at
older mines all of which has re-
suited in considerable over-produc-
ton. Stocks of both ore and metal
have accumulated at mines and
shelters with depressing effects on
world prices.

international Assn. of Machinists
Each month officers and repre-
~sentatives acting for local lodges of
the International Association of Ma
chinists negotiate the renewal of 300
or more working-rules agreements.
In addition many new agreements
are adopted. Within the last twelve
months a total of about $500 new and
renewed agreements were negoti-
ated. These agreements covered
workers in every state of the union
and many of the provinces of Can
ada. They embraced practically
every one of the major industrial
groupings classified by the U. S.
Bureau of the Census and Bureau
of Labor Statistics. In t~ransporta-
ton they included railroads, bus
companies, truckers, air transport,
shipping; in manufacturing, auto
and auto parts plants, aircraft
plants, steel products, machinery,
etc, etc. They covered food indus
tries from baking to brewing, and
service industries like automotive
maintenance and machine shops.
Construction was represented in in
~stallation and repairs of machinery
and equipment for buildings, power
plants, highway construction and the
great dam projects.
Some of the agreements cover a
small number of workers such as a
single or a few maintenance ma
chinists in a comparatively small
food producing plant. Others cover
many thousands, such as the agree
ment with the Boeing Aircraft plant
at Seattle. Among the agreements
were many negotiated with %associa-
tons of employers and made to apply
to the employees of each member
employer, such as Automobile Deal
ers' Association agreements covering
ell auto dealers in a given city or
county.
Joint agreements through which
several labor unions have negotiated
a single agreement with an employ
er covering all the workers or all
the craftsmen engaged in his plant
are well represented among the Ma
chinists' agreements. Chief of these
are the railroad agreements cover-
ing the railroad shop crafts which
are negotiated through the Railway
Employees Department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and cover
approximately a quarter of a million
of railroad shop workers.
Then there is the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company agreement
covering all the craftsmen employed
at the metal mines of this corpora
ton, negotiated through the Metal
Trades Department and Building
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor. Agreements
of the same character to which the
international Association of Ma
chinists is a party in the petroleum
industry and in the ship-building
industry as we'll as in manufactur-
ing plants are also negotiated
through the Metal Trades Depart
ment, or Metal Trades Councils
affiliated with the department. Joint
agreements with unions outside of
the Metal Trades include the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Union,
the Transfers, the Paper Makers,
Pulp and Sulphite Workers, and
others.
| wonder whether as workers we
appreciate the implications of this
story of agreements
The most conclusive answer that
the international Association of
Machinists can give to the question:

"Light as a feather" whispers Jim as Sally smoothly follows him in the lovely languorous waltz.
 Is this girl who used to stiffen up like a poker, make all kinds Of blunders on the dance floor? The same girl! But practicing with sim- pie diagrams has given her poise, added polish to her dancing.
 Compliments for you, too when you've perfected steps like this graceful Waltz Walk. Try it.!
 1-Take long step forward on left foot, bending your right knee slightly to get that faintly dipping motion that makes the waltz so love- ly. 2-Take a slightly shorter step with right foot.
 3-Take a step of the same length with left foot-and end the meas ure with both knees straight.
 To lead into the Waltz Walk, the man relaxes his right arm, steps forward firmly on count 1. And then on into the Basic Waltz Step. such graceful variations as the Balance Waltz, Waltz Turn.
 Easy for you to learn these other waltz steps too from diagrams and instructions in our 32-page booklet. Also gives basic steps, smart varia- tions for the fox-trot, rumba, tango, ballroom shag. How to keep time, lead and follow.

J. w. Eichmeyer of Schenectady, N. Y, who frequently plays in New York state Master Point tourna- ments with his friend, Judge Char les G. Fryer, sent me today's hand. He has reason to feel proud of the result, as he was the only player in a recent tournament to make six spades with 1t,
 The four no trump bid followed the Blackwood convention. The i've heart response showed two aces, and Eichmeyer could reply on some other strength as part of North's two no trump bid. He therefore went to six spades at once.
 The ace of clubs won the first trick, then two rounds of trumps were taken. At this point the de- clarer properly abandoned the trump suit.
