The recent troubles IN Ireland have
! served to remind old-time friends OF
Marcus DAILY Of the days in the 1905
4. when DAILY money went to Ireland ia
help finance Irish rebel activities
DAILY himself was entirely innocent in
the matter, for he did not know that
any part Of his copper millions went
to buy ammunition and guns for Irish
terroristS. The leak was through funds
furnished by DAILY to provide living
expenses for his spinster sister Miss
Honor DAILY. Miss DAILY was an enthus-
iastic and generous supporter of Irish
rebellion against England, and the
English finally revenged themselves
when they burned her home in 1921
after she had been found guilty of
harboring rebels.
Honor DAILY was the only one of
Marcus Days brothers and sisters
who did not follow him to the new
world. Marcus DAILY came to America
in 1856, and after he began to acquire
riches in the seventies, his family came
to America, one by one, until only
Marcus DAILY did everything IN his
power to pursuade the maiden sister
to come to the United States, but she
was adamant. Therefore, DAILY pro-
Vided for her handsomely, so that the
woman who had once been among the
poorest residents Of the town of Derry
lea, Ireland, found herself q woman of
Importance in the community, with
fine home in the style of the landed
gentry.
Miss Days financial situation might
have made her one of the group of
Irish who were sympathetic to Eng
land, but her heart was still with
those Irishmen who had fought and
are still fighting the bitter battle for
Irish independence. Her brother, Mar
Gus, was so generous in providing for
her that she had surplus funds to
help the Irish cause, and she did not
hesitate. The Irish rebels had placed
their hopes in the uprising planned
for 1921, and it was during this revolt |
that the British Tommies expelled Miss |
DAILY from her fine residence and |
burned 1t to the ground. Until the day !
Of her death In 1925 she aided the |
rebels in every way she could. One |
Of her nieces, a daughter OF Marcus |
Daily, was a Hungarian countess, but /
Honor DAILY had cast her lot with Irish I
,enant farmers when she was girl,
and she stayed with the cause to the
md.
It was Honor Days fine home, pic
,ures of which were circulated in the
United States, that gave rise to the
tory that Marcus DAILY had come OF
family of comfortable farmers who
lad quite a reputation as horse breed
RS and trainers" This home was an
acquisition of Miss Days latter years.
When Marcus DAILY was a boy the
Rmily was very poor, with not always
nough food to feed the IL children.
The saga of Marcus DAILY is one which
will never again be repeated, for it
vas a story of rags to riches that
ould only be associated with from
Ter region such as the west was in
)aly's time. Such frontiers no longer

exist. Immigrant boys who arrive now
from the other side find very differ
ent America from the one Marcus DAILY
knew
The amazing thing about Marcus
Days story is the fact that in Mon
tana today there is nothing to show
for all the millions he took from the
richest hill on earth" Some point to
the mines and smelters as monuments
to Days empire building genius but
they are things that would have de-
veloped whether he had come TO Mon
tana or not. Most rich men leave be-
hind them museums, libraries or other
contributions to the cultural life of
the community. Today the only real
reminders of Marcus DAILY to be found
in Montana are statue n Butte, and
a mosaic in the floor Of the hotel
Marcus DAILY built in Anaconda. The
statue Is Of Marcus DAILY and is so
commonplace and banal that art eX-
perts who see 1t find it difficult to
believe the statue is really the work
of the great st. Gaudens. The mosaic
in Anaconda Is portrait of Days
most famous race horse, the record
breaking Tammany. The mosaic is
really a craftSman's masterpiece. It
contains hundreds Of pieces Of colored
wood.

Resolution

WHEREAS, IL is the sense of this
convention, with an attendance rep
resenting over 80 percent of the
operators in the State of Montana,
that the SO-caIled sWeat-shOp con-
ditiOnS which brought about the
Fair Labor Standard Act should be
condemned,
WHEREAS, wages in the mining
industry of the West have always
been fair and equitable and the
relationship between employee and
employer generally good, and
WHEREAS, the hours provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act
imposes a hardship upon the Oper-
atiOnS of outlying mines in the
western states,
NOW, THEREFORE, be 1t RE
SOLVED, that IL Is the sense of
the Mining Association of Montana
In convention assembled this 10th
day of August, 1910, that the Fair
Labor Standards Act should be
amended so that the outlying mines
be exempt from the hours pro-
visions of the Act up to 48 hours
per week in states where by the
state law an eight hour work day
is in effect and where the minimum
wages exceed the present minimum
fixed by the FLS Act by at least
twenty cents per hour; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that a copy of this resolution be
submitted to each Of the members
of Congress from the Western min
ing states and to the administrator
of the Wage and Hour Division of
the department Of labor.

ADOPTION OF tlllS resolution followed
some of the most heated debate in both
q subcommittee on resolutions and the
main resolutions committee of which
o. l. DeSchon, publisher of the Jour
nal, was chairman. The resolutions
committee adopted a substitute reSolu-
ton which carried the main text of
that of the special committee but va
ried the wording to provide at least
20 cents per hour" instead of wages at
least 20 percent above the present min
imum."
Much of the time of the opening day
of the convention was devoted to dis
clISsion of the Labor Standards act,
which has proven most annoying TO
mining men. Designed to fit Sweat-Shop
conditions of eastern manufacturing
centers, the trainers OF the law had no
conception of western mining cond1-
tons, several miners declared. The Law
is obnoxious especially because neither
the minimum hours nor the minimum
wage provided by the law apply to min
ing All mines pay higher wages anc
work shorter hours, Of their own choice
than provided in the law but the other
restrictive provisions of the act serve
to hamper the methods of operation
which are uniformly followed because
of the nature of the operation. This
is particularly true of placer operations

by Ralph Lewis, noted Pittsburgh /
engineer, that was most active in /
the effort to have isolated mines
exempted from provisions Of the act. I
The many speakers all agreed that EN- !
ployes are no less discontinued with
the application of the law to Isolated /
mines than are the employers.
The most heated discussion followed
an address by Arthur L. Faber, senior
industrial specialist, wage and hour di-
vision, u S. Department of Labor, him
self a capable engineer who expressed
an understanding of the miners plant.
Robert S. Palmer, secretary of the Colo
RADIO Mining association, led the discus
sion with a formal address in which
he declared that the act is a mon
strosity when applied to western labor
conditions unfamiliar to the trainers of
the bill

ing industries. This is one of a
series of stories telling of the de-
pelopment of some of these in
dustries.
Washington, d. c. The begin
ming of one of Americas most
important industries probably
can be traced to a college profess
sor's oft repeated challenge to
his class: "Fame and fortune "a
wait the man who discovers an
inexpensive method of making
aluminium"
A school boob also may be said
to have played part in the deve-
lopment of this industry, which
today gives jobs to $4,000 persons
and has made easier and simpler
the housewives duties and has
played major role in the deve-
lopment of modern aircraft, trains
and other forms of transportation.
The professor was Frank Fen
ming Jewett, chemistry teacher at
Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.
The book was chemistry man
ual published in l84l.
Many times Professor Jewett
repeated his challenge to his che
mistry class. One day it inspired
one of his pupils to remark to a
fellow student: "Im going after
that metal"
The remark was made by young
Charles Martin Hall, who, in his
boyhood, had been fascinated by
the mysteries of chemistry.
Young Halls father, the Rev.
H. Bessett Hall, had given the
boy the chemistry manual that
plays a part in this story. In the
manual, Hall found the subject OF
aluminium dismissed with only
these few words. ~~' -, '''"-.' 800
"The metal may be obtained by
heating chloride of aluminium
with potassium in a covered pla-
tinum or porcelain crucible and
dissolving out the salt with water
AS thus prepared, it is a gray
powder similar to platinum, but
when rubbed i'm morter, exhi-
bits distinctly metallic luster."
With this meager allowance and
funds borrowed from Professor
Jewett. young Hall began his
experiments. Success finally came
onFebruary 23, 1886. i'm a wood
shed in the backyard of the Hall
home. The young inventor on
that day, developed the process
that today makes it possible to
produce aluminium cheap enough
for commercial use.
The discovery was first made
public when young Hall, then
only p years old, dashed from the
woodshed clutching a few but
tons of bright metal. He ran up
the street to the Oberlin campus
and into the office of Professor
Jewett, shouting professor, I've
got itr
1t was two years before young
Hall could organize a company to
finance the construction, of the
first aluminium plant. With the
aid of friends, however, this was
finally accomplished and on
Thanksgiving Day, 1888, the first
metal was produced in Pitts
burgh, Pa.
Great European scientists had
tackled the problem of aluminium
many years before--and had fail
ed. Even Napoleon III had COM
missioned French chemist, Hen
ri Deville, to devote his time to
the subject. In those days alumni
mum ranked with gold and plati-
mum in value-costing $500 a
pound. Deville, too, failed. Thus
it remained for a youth not year
out of college to make the dis
covery in a backyard woodshed
