Copy Of Montana Labor
News PLACED in Corner
Stone Of Cake Kitchen

A copy of the Montana Labor
News was placed in the cornerstone
of the new addition to Eddy's Old
Plantation Cake Kitchen which was
laid Tuesday, August 8.
All employees of the Eddy Bakery
and Old Plantation Cake Kitchen
gathered for the ceremony.
When completed the Eddy Cake
Kitchen will result in a 21215 foot
frontage, with an average depth Of
IS feet and the new cake kitchen
will give to Montana the Northwest's
newest and most modern cake baking
institution. It will also be the largest
wholesale cake kitchen between Chi
cago and Seattle.
In addition to the Montana Labor
News a list of the present employees
of Eddy's Bakeries with a record of
the length of time each has been
employed was included in the corner
stone box. A list Of all the men who
worked on the building including
carpenters, cement finishers, iron
workers, laborers, roofers, painters,
electricians, plasterers, plumbers,
fathers, steam filters, sheet metal
workers, and stone cutters was also
included.
An edition OF the newspapers Of
the day, a silver dollar, a piece of
wooden money, pictures taken dur
ing the jubilee, sales tickets, labels
used on the various baked goods,
pictures of the bakeries and en-
ployees went into the copper box.
Just before the copper box was
sealed ]. E. O'Connell, president of
the Eddy Bakeries, was presented
with a scroll, signed by each en-
ployee which read, "We, the present
employees of Eddy's Bakery, hope
that by this testimonial of our loyal
ty, some future generation may
know our appreciation of Mr.. O'Con-
nell as an employer. We hope that
when in one hundred or two hundred
years this box in the cornerstone of
the Old Plantation Cake Kitchen is
opened that those who labor may
still be having such a fine man as
their chief"
The development of Eddy's Cake
Kitchen has been beneficial to Mon
tana pay rolls as all the business
now done at this plant was formerly
handled by bakeries in the east and
on the west coast. Eddys are to be
congratulated in their effort to sup
ply work for Montana people and in
keeping roll dollars at home.

this course is used to designate the
person who ~supervises the program
and correlates the related technical
information, which he teaches, with
the practical experiences of part-time
students. His duties consist of pro-
noting the program, the placement
of students in employment, the
preparation Of Institutional ma
t%erials, directing students study of
technical information related to their
occupations, and assisting employers
in Analysing occupations and ar
ranging work schedules to insure
well rounded training of students.
The advantage of the program lies
in the fact that training is not con
fined to a few trades or occupations,
but may include any skilled occupa-
ton which is practiced in the COM
munity, and for which young work.
ers are needed. All occupations
which require 1000 hours or more
of organized training may be in
cluded. Examples of occupations
which lend themselves to this type
of training are: automobile repair
ing, the electrical trade, plumbing,
office practice, salesmanship, under
taking, laboratory technician's work
and radio repair, etc.
Although the program was orig
inally planned for small communi-
ties it may be adapted with equal
facility to large centers. In large
cities it will be found that sufficient
students may be placed in single
occupations to permit the organiza-
ton of segregated related subjects
classes, whereas in small commune
ties students working in different
occupations must be grouped to-
gether, and the study of related
technical information be directed by
one co%ordinator.
Part-time cooperative training is
not an innovation in vocational edu-
cation. It's beginning in this country
antedates the Smith Hughes act by
about twenty years. It was en-
visioned by the trainers of the act
and has been carried on with several
variations since 1917. Not until 1888,
however, was it adapted to diversi-
fled occupations and made an in
part Of the regular high school
program.

Commissioners
Taxing Powers
Kitchen Cabinet
Member Reported
As Dissenting

A clash of opinion has developed
in the Commissioners kitchen cab
met" over another of Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seals proposals for
reorganization of the municipal gov
eminent.
This new opposition is directed
at Mr.. Seals proposal to extend tax
levying powers to the Commission
ers, according to reports heard yes
terday as the committee held an
other session to give further con-
sideration to reorganization pro-
posals.
Cites AppOintive Officials.
1t was understood that at least
one member of the Kitchen cabi-
net" would oppose this suggested
move on the ground that it would
be dangerous to grant tax-making
powers to appointive officials.
One of the members commended
that such an extension of authority
could be effected only under an ad-
ministrative plan based on elective
officers. Such powers, it was held,
cannot be reconciled with the ap-
pointive character of the Commits
sioners.
At its meeting yesterday, the
committee of officials revised the
proposed civil service plan to give
preference in filling civil service jobs
to bona fide residents of Washing
ton when available and equipped to
do the work Under the original
plan proposed by the corporation
counsel, the District could take ap-
pointees from the Washington met
ropolitan area that extended into
| Maryland and Virginia.
Fear Boundary Troubles.
| The committee approved the re-
vised plan after it was pointed out
that it would be difficult to define
the boundaries of the metropolitan
area.
The cabinet also gave its final ap-
prevail to the new budgetary pro-
cedure provided in Mr. Seals pro-
posals, but did not settle the con-
troversy over the proposed transfer
of authority over the municipal au-
thorities from the Health Depart
ment to the Board of Public Wei.

successful getaway. Four of the
eight who escaped the Virginia lock-
up were recaptured.
Working on the slender chance
that the men might be the Virginia
fugitives, description of the pair
who forced Mr.. Taylor to drive them
to Pennsylvania was broadcast over
an eight-State wire network.
Mr.. Taylor drove away from his
home, at 7415 Georgetown road, yes
terday Ito see about a job" near
Washington. Twelve hours later he
landed, instead, in Harrisburg, Pa.
The contractor told Pennsylvania
State police, the Associated Press
reported, that two hitch mixers he
picked up on Wisconsin avenue near
the District of Columbia line forced
him to drive to point miles east
of Harrisburg, where they put him
out and made off in his car.
Covered by Pistol.
One of the men leveled a pistol
at him soon after being given a lift,
Mr.. Taylor said, and compelled him
to drive back through Bethesda,
Rockville and on through Harris
burgh by way of Martinsburg, w.
Va, and Chambersburg, Pa.
At Martinsburg, the contractor re-
ported, the men made him buy gaso-
line. A filling station attendant
failed to see that the driver of the
car was covered with a pistol.
After being put out on the road
side, Mr. Taylor walked back into
Harrisburg and reported the hold
up to State police. Soon afterward
police found the car abandoned on
lonely road 6 miles from the Penn
sylvania capital.
Was Second Abduction.
Mrs. Taylor, at her home in Be-
thesda this morning, said she re-
ceived long distance telephone call
from her husband last night.
Mrs. Taylor said that IL years
ago her husband was held up and
driven beyond Baltimore, where he
was robbed of between $50 and SIS.
She said Mr.. Taylor did not in
form her of the full details of his
latest experience, but told her he
would be home today after police
examined his car for fingerprints of
the two men.
Then Mr.. Taylor hopes to see
