WOMEN WORKERS IN
BETTER POSITION TO
IMPROVE, Is SURVEY
Stand is Stated in Pamphlet Pub
lished by Women's Bureau.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-"With
| government and organized labor as
her allies, the woman worker today
| is in a better position than ever be-
fore to win her long struggle for
good wages, decent working condi-
tions, equal opportunities with men,
a secure income, and the full, happy,
and healthy life that is her birthright
in America" says new and revised
edition of "Women at Work; A Cen
tury of Industrial Change" pamph-
let published by the Women's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor.
The pamphlet was published orig
inally for the Century of Progress
Exposition in 1888.
Problems Still Remain
While hours of work have been
greatly shortened in industry and
wages raised since women first went
to work in factories, and while many
new avenues of employment have been
opened up, the problems of unem-
ployment and poor working conditions
remain for many working women,
"Women at Work" points out. More
than 100000 women in America
were unemployed and 100000 had
only part-time work at the time of
the unemployment census of Novem-
ber, 1887. The problem of age is a
serious one for the unemployed
woman, as shown by the fact that one
third of the women seeking work at
public employment offices are 40 years
of age or older, it is asserted.
Nowadays" the pamphlet says,
''ln many industrial occupations a
woman is considered too old to get
job at 80, and even at 25 she is too
old to be taken on in certain occupa-
tions. Though the older woman
worker who belongs to strong union
may have an advantage over the
| younger one because she has the pro-
lection of seniority rights in lay-offs
and rehiring, if she loses her job it is
more difficult for her to get another
in new place of employment"
Progress Being Made
Throughout the history of women
in industry for the past 100 years, the
pamphlet shows, women have had to
face the problems of unemployment
and low wages. Today, while these
problems still persist, progress is be-
/ ing made in meeting them through the
new weapons of strengthened labor
unions and new government services.
Cited particularly are the National
Labor Relations Board, insuring work.
ers' rights to organize; the Federal
Works program, providing the unem-
ployed with work; the Social Security
and state relief programs; the aid to
the unemployed in finding Jobs
through public employment agencies;
and the safeguards against the return
to sweat-shop wages and hours
through the Fair Labor Standards Act
of 1888 and new state minimum-wag
and maximum laws for women.

Do you think they will stand by and

Truths POndered While

Anchor

BY Mr.. M0destus-

"The thoughts of youth
Are long, long thoughts
And if the masters of America to-
day
Imagine that the scars on the lives
of American youth
Can be easily forgotten in the years
to come
Or that there will be no political
consequences of these scars
Their own thoughts are liable to
become whole lot shorter
For American youth is making dis
coveries-
There's land enough
There's ore and timber enough
There's skill enough and to spare
for the jobs
There's education, such as it is, to
at least make start
With the proper utilization of the
natural resources
America knows how to make ma
chimes that make machines
If the making is not too long de-
layed-
There's food enough, and "too much
cotton" and wool
There's honor and goodwill among
the workers. as vet

Cut Bank VS.. Glasgow
In Race OUer States
Fastest GrolUing City

Glasgow joe Shower, secretary of
that citys chamber of commerce, may
have bitten off more cigar than he
can chew, according to Harold D. Dye
secretary of the Cut Bank Lions club.
Shower, who offered to bet a cigar
that Glasgow had made the greatest
percentage increase of population of
any city in Montana, is being chal-
lenged by Cut Banks service club Sec
rotary. Dye says he will bet an addi-
tional cigar for each point of percen-
tage difference shown between the in
crease on population of Cut Bank and
that of Glasgow.
Shower reported his city's popula-
ton in 1880 was 2,216 His estimate
now is $500 AS for Cut Bank. back
in 1880 the little cattle town was
rated under $50, but since the coming
of oil the city has grown rapidly.
Says Secretary Dye, IF Cut Bank
is 10 percent higher than Glasgow,
Sklower owes me II cigars, and I'm
willing to make a side bet that if
he takes me up on this proposition he
will be owing me at least one box of
cigars when the count is finished"

Traffic ViOLatOrs
Awarded "DiplOnas"
Blu HighlUay Patrol

Two hundred thirty of Montana's
traffic violation "repeaters" went to
school the hard way but they got their
diplomas.
Last January Lou c. Boedecker,
highway patrol supervisor. announced
that third offenders on highway patrol
lists would have to prove they had
finally learned their lessons.
Accordingly, district supervisors in
the states four districts, began

Each third offender went through
an eye test, hearing test, then gave
a recitation to show a knowledge Of
Montana's traffic regulations.
But that wasn't all. After tests were
gone through in a manner satisfactory
to the badge-wearing teachers, the "re-
peaters" took to the open road and
gave a practical demonstration.
Recently Supervisor Boedecker an
nounced the results and said that not
one of those tested "flunked," thereby
losing his drivers permit.
Meanwhile, the tests still continue
throughout the state.

Appointment Of William r. Forsyth
OF Creston as assistant in entomology
for the Montana agricultural expert
ment station, is announced by Clyde
Mckee. director of the experiment sta
ton. Forsyth will make his headquar-
tiers at the horticultural branch sta
ton at Corvallis. His appointment is
an addition to the experiment station
staff and was made possible by in
creased funds provided the horticul-
ture branch station by the last legis-
lature.

age and moved to the university as
Wards gift.
Manufactured by the Marder Luce
Co. the press is one of a very few of
its kind left. Dean A. L. Stone of the
journalism school spent more than a
year tracing its history, which Is now
complete. The press will remain in the
journalism building as a part of the
typography laboratory display which
includes several historically interest
ing exhibits.
The Washington handpress operates
on the same principle as the Guten-
berg press of five centuries ago. al
though its particular system of levers
and screws was not developed until
about 1900. The business of printing
a newspaper on the press is a labor
ious process. and about 100 sheets per
hour was the average speed Of the good
preSSman of its day.

Bluff Fails to Work
Dawson told them, in a bluff, that
should they kill him and his men, 1t
would only bring the soldiers quicker
the Crows were not impressed. Then
Dawson tried to appease them by gifts,
which seemed only to increase their
madness The gifts also seemed to con-
vince them that the killing had been
done on purpose.
All day Dawson's party expected al
most any moment to be killed, and
when no help appeared: they prepared
to die as bravely as they could. The
afternoon wore more slowly away than
did the forenoon, and the sun was set
ting low down on the horizon when a
slight cloud in the northern sky at
tracted the attention Of the white men
1t became larger and thicker, and
eventually resolved itself into horse
men. There was a rumble of horses
hoofs that changed to the thunder of
swift gallop. The white men cheered
when they heard war songs-the songs
up with over 600 horsemen.
The charge circled the camp. then
the chief Of the Mountain Crows rode
up and shouted: IF a hair of Long
Knife's head is touched, the Mountain
Crows will eat up the whole camp Of
the River Crows!" Instantly peace
signs were made; the medicine pipe
produced and smoked. There followed
big pow-wow. and presently Daw-
sons party. after giving a few presents
to the River Crows, left under escort
of the Mountain Crows.
The Indians had given Dawson the
name of Long Knife because Of the
long sword he carried. This was an
heirloom from one of his celebrated
ancestors in Scotland.
Upon another occasion Dawson was
travelling alone, as he was often COM
PEELED to do. Evening came on: he
prepared for the night. On looking
around for firewood he noticed many
fresh moccasin tracks and other signs
Of a war party recently here. Not
knowing exactly what to do. he con-
cluded to put on brave face and
pretend he was neither afraid nor
cared how far or near they might be.
So he built his fire and ate his eve
ming meal.
After making a good fire to keep
bears or wolves away, he lay down
and presently went to sleep. We may
presume that this was not easy. but
he was very tired and when he did

the severest ever known in what is
now Montana, Dawson met with an
accident from which he never recoy-
cred. He had a trap door over cellar
in which he kept all important docu-
ments. He neglected to close this door,
and in the dark he fell into the cellar,
where he lay all night, too stunned to
help himself. He was discovered in the
morning. so weak and paralyzed that
off. In the summer of 1864, finding it
impossible to continue his position, he
