The Worker Pays

Some of our best known labor
leaders seem to have taken a les
son from Washington. More and
more their actions are guided by
political considerations; the inter-
est of the working man in having a
good and permanent job is appar-
emily regarded as secondary to the
business OF jockeying about in an
effort to gain personal advantage.
1t is no secret who pays for
this-in opportunity as well as the
coin Of the realm. The worker
pays. He pays for labor racket
eeriDg. He pays for useless and
unjustifable strikes which throw
him out Of job for months on
end. He pays for the intercine
warfare which has disturbed labor S
ranks for years.
There can be no question but
that the cause of legitimate union
ism which will advance the real
interests of the workers has. been
seriously damaged by the eXtrem-
lists. And whether they shall con-
tinue their destruction is up to the
rank and file of labor.

The demolition Of the Overland
hotel building, one Of the old land.
marks Of Fort Benton, recalls come
incidents Of early day life which
have not been recorded in print.
The hotel was built in 1866 by
Jacob W. Schmidt, a well.known
resident OF northern Montana who
now holds the honorable position
Of coroner of Teton county. The
lumber was brought from Helena
by bull train and was quite an
expensive article in those days.
Uncle Jake was the first land
lord Of the new hotel. which did
a rushing business right from the
start. Hired help being scarce,
Landlord Schmidt frequently took
a hand in waiting on the table
himself. and it was on one of these
occasions that his dignity was 30
shocked that he decided to close
his prosperous hostelry.
1t was an exceptionally busy day;
the dining room was crowded with
guests, and among those at one
of the tables was a big six-foot
freighter who was overlooked in
the rush. He became tired OF
waiting. and when Uncle Jake
emerged from the kitchen with an
armful of well filled dishes. and
passed by the neglected freighter.
the latter reached out and gently
jerked the landlords coat to draw
attention to himself. The trick
failed to work, but when Mr..
Schmidt made the next trip from
the kitchen, the jerk was repeated
with vigor that compelled recog-
milton. 1t brought Uncle Jake to
a standstill.
For an instant. Landlord Schmidt
was dumbfounded by the mans
familiarity. but he quickly recov-
cred himself. There was an open
window nearby. through which he
hurled his armful of dishes. and
then turning to the offender he
shouted: My name is Jacob
Schmidt. and I am the boss of this
hotel. and want you to know /
don't allow any tam man to pull
my coat tail!' Boiling over with
indignation, Uncle Jake rushed to
the tables. gathered up all the
dishes and fred them out of the
and then, turning to the
astonished guests. said: Gentle
men, this hotel is closed" And
closed it was. tight as a drum, un.
til Uncle Jake's friends persuaded
him to reopen it for the accomme-
dalton Of a suffering public.
Mr.. Schmidt retired from the
Of the Overland in the
fall Of 1866, and was succeeded by
Robert Mills, now of Lewistewn.
Among other proprietors of that
old. time and popular hostelry were
Capt. Stafford, F. c. Roosevelt,
Rowe Bros. John J. Healy, Jno.

Idea Of Conference
OF Political Liberals
Seems 10 Be Revived
President DiscIoses
PorIey With Trio
Of Young Westerners
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Revival in somewhat broader form
OF the h-discussed idea OF a
conference of political liberals, pre-
dominantly New Dealish in their
sympathies, to coordinate political
strength from all parts of the coun-
try in support of certain platform
principles, appeared well under way
today in the wake of President
Roosevelt's disclosure that he had
been discussing liberal principles
with a trio of active young Western
ers.
The three, all strategically placed
in the Presidents little cabinet
and all possessed of records of ag-
gressive liberalism in their home
States before taking posts here, are
Assistant Attorney General Norman
M. Littell, Assistant Secretary of
Labor Marshall E. Dimock and As
sistant Secretary of Interior Oscar
l.. Chapman.
Apparently the sponsors of the
conference idea, originally outlined
as pretty much of an all-Western
affair, the group received setback
last fall when the whole project be-
came labeled as ''third-term boom"
and was apparently shelved. Criti-
cism was touched off at that time by
John L. Lewis, C. I. o. president, in
an unfavorable comparison of the
conference proponents with such
longtime Western liberals as Sena-
tor Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana,
an avowed foe of a third term for
President Roosevelt.
Western Trip Cancelled.
In the controversy which followed,
it became apparent that many in
fluential Democratic leaders were
antagonistic toward the pdoject, and
President Roosevelt's cancellation of
contemplated Western trip, at
which time he might have stopped
to address the conference, seemed
to have ended the whole plan.
Last Friday, however, the three
named above called on the Presi-
dent and there has been quiet con-
versation since to the effect that
there might still be a meeting in
advance of the Democratic con-
vention-with emphasis to be on
platform principles rather than on
candidates and with cooperation
to be sought of such Eastern liberals
as Mayor La Guardia Of New York
and Sidney Hillman, influential
labor leader from the C. I. o. wing.
Although the President was will
ing to admit yesterday that he has
been talking liberal principles"
with this semi-independent group,
he was still unwilling to tip his hand
on the third-term question.
Laughs Question Of.
Asked at his press conference
what he thought of the president s
Birthday Balls" infantile paralysis
benefit affairs, would be called next
year, the Chief Executive laughed
the question off by remarking the
reporter had been up all the previ-
Gus night.
Occasion for the benefit dances
for the last several years has been
the January 80 birthday of Mr..
Roosevelt. Started during his ad-
ministration, the affairs presumably
are to be continued indefinitely. In
his brief greeting to the celebrators
on Tuesday night, the Chief Execu-
tive said, "As the years go on I hope
that these annual celebrations will
extend to the care Of all Grip
pied children"

Warmer Weather
Promised After
Near-Record Month
Light Roin or Snow With
Lowest Temperature
About rs Degrees Forecast

With prospects for somewhat
warmer" weather today, the month
of January passed into history as
the third coldest January here in
Weather Bureau records.
The average temperature last
month stood at 249, the Weather
Bureau calculated today. which was
85 degrees below the 1874 average
for the month in Washington
There were only two JanuAries in
history here that were colder-in
1918, when the average temperature
sank to 237, and January, 1893
when the average temperature was
246.
The temperature last month did
not reach the lowest on record, as it
fell to only sc aboye zero, compared
to Is below on the coolest day OF all
here, February II, 1899-
Prospects for today were for in
creasing cloudiness, the weather
forecaster said, followed by light
ram or snow late tonight, with the
highest temperature about 40 de-
grees. The lowest temperature dur
ing the past "a hours was 1863 de-
grees at 4 am, but by 8 am. the
mercury had risen to 81.
Snow was heavy during the month
of January, but did not set record.
There were 1873 inches of snow last
month, which was go inches above
the normal of 6.1 inches for January
since 1881, when snowfall records
were first kept.
While Washington had dug itself
out of the January snow so that
traffic moved with more facility, the
alternate melting of snow and ice
on the streets, during the day, and
its freezing up again at night con-
tinued to bring hazard to mortists.
Automobiles, buses and trucks be-
gan slipping and sliding late yester-
day afternoon.
In Chesapeake Bay the Island
Belle, regular supply and mail ship
to Smith Island, was freed from the
ice by the Coast Guard Cutter Nc
Clane yesterday, and took on a load
of supplies at Crisfeld, Md, for the
island. AS the vessel left the har-
Dor she was followed by several
oyster boats which had been ice
bound for more than a week. Oyster
captains said they would attempt to
cross the bay to obtain shell stock
oysters for the packing houses in
Crisfield.
Smith Islanders had been receiv-
ing fresh milk daily by a plane
piloted by Fred Ennis.
In Baltimore, harbor ice smashed
the wood hull of a lighter today,
sinking it in IS feet of water with
cargo of 80 barrels of molasses,
which had been consigned to Oslo,
