Question: Where "B" school dis
trict has not actually held any school
within its boundaries for seven or
eight years, there being no school
house In the district, and where "B"
district has contracted with &c" school
district whereby &c" school district
furnishes its safe and proper bus,
driven and operated by competent
driver under contract let by &c" dis
trict with the bus driver for the trans
portation of the pupils in "B" district
to sc" district, does such transporta-
ton comply with the terms of Section
go, Revised Codes Of Montana, 1895,
so that "B" school district may not
be abandoned. In other words, is
such transportation equivalent to
holding school in "B" district?
Held: Where a school district has
no school house, has had no school
for seven or eight years, and con-
tracts with another district to trans
port it's pupils in the other districts

Question: You have advised me of
communication from DR.. F. L. Terrill.
superintendent of the Montana Tuber-
culosis Sanitarium, which is as fol-
lows:
Some of the counties have insisted
that patients receiving silicotic bene-
fits reimburse the county for their
care here. AS you probably know,
the institution charges the county
$10O for each patient day. You can
readily see that these individuals
would have to send their entire check
to the counties. Many of the men
here are worried about this condition
and I believe it would be well for
you to define whether or not this can
be done. 1t might be possible that
part of this amount could be paid to
the county, which would allow them
some money for their personal care.
zone county has gone so far as to
state that unless the individual re-
turns the entire amount to them 1t
will be necessary for us to discharge
him from the institution. 1t so hap
pens that this man is in a very far
advanced condition and of course it
would be criminal if it were neces-
sary to discharge him."
Held: 1t was not the intention of
the legislature that inmates of the
Montana State Tuberculosis sanitar-
ium receiving benefits under the act,
should be required to pay for their
care and treatment therein.
l do not hesitate to state that +

of the State Board of Examiners,

LEHMAN ASKS RISE in
BENEFITS TO JOBLESS

Albany, N. Y.-A 20 per cent in
crease in maximum unemployment in
surance payments, with liberalization
of the law to cover partially unem-
ployed workers, was recommended to
the Legislature by Governor Lehman.
In message inspired by the imme-
date emergency of men and women
left temporarily idle while plants are
converted to war production, the gov
ernor also urged extension of the max
imum benefit period to twenty weeks
and reduction of the waiting period
to two.
Reviewing the unavoidable disloca-
tion of industrial labor during the
conversion Of peacetime plants, Mr..
Lehman said, this situation may well
persist for over a year.
fortunately, we have in our un-
employment insurance system means
of meeting this problem in a planned
and orderly fashion"
The governor recommended increas-
ing the maximum weekly payment
from SIS to $18, and lengthening the
maximum benefit period from thirteen
to twenty weeks. The present waiting
period is three weeks.

COUNTY STUDIES BIDS
ON WATER MAIN JOB

Butler County commissioners Tues
day tabulated bids for the installation
of water mains and services in Bel
mont Addition, adjoining Hamilton on
the southeast, but deferred contract
awards.
Whether the project can be con-
structed is subject to approval of Work
Projects Administration officials. Ap-
plication for approval has been filed.
Under the plan considered by COM
missioners, property owners would be
assessed for materials and the WPA
would provide the labor. Material costs
will be approximately $4,000 and the
WPA cost is estimated at $4,000.
All but few of the property owners
signed a petition for the water ex-
tension.
Several hundred homes would be
served by the enlarged service, Thomas
Feltz, clerk of commissioners, said.

to recall to your minds that we were
among the old and stable organiza-

day, with time and one-half for all
time worked in excess of nine hours.
A few years later, we established the
eigft-hour day, with time and one-half
for all time worked over eight hours.
Then we secured the forty-four- hour
week, with time and one-haf for all
time worked in excess of forty-four
hours. And later, the forty-hour week,
with time and one-half thereafter.

Postwar Work Plan
Urged For New York

Albany, N. Y.-The Joint Legisla-
tive Committee on Industrial and La
Dor Conditions, in a report submitted
to the Legislature and Governor Her.
bert H. Lehman, urged the creation Of
temporary state commission to plan
in advance for the problems of New
York's share of a possible 100000
unemployed in the reconstruction Pc
riod which will follow the war.
The duty of such a commission,
which has the approval of the gover-
nor, would be to outline gigantic
public works program which would
provide jobs for those who are not i'm
mediately taken into normal indus
tries when such industries are re-
leased from their present emergency
task of manufacturing war material.

FUNDS OF MOLDERS
TAKEN in HOLD-UP

Two armed bandits obtained $85,
dues of members of Iron Molders'
Union, No. 68, in stick-up of Charles
Stephan, 324 Belle Avenue, Monday
night at Gal o'clock in the Labor
Temple, 239 South Second Street.
Stephan told police he was counting
dues of the union after a meeting in
the second floor of the Labor Temple
when two men entered with revolvers
and said, "this is no kidding, we're
after the money"
After snatching the money from the
table, the two men backed out of the
door, made their exit from the rear OF
the building and ran through the back
yard of the temple.
Stephan said he could identify the
men if he saw them again. Police be.
lieve the men were familiar with the
temple.

lean workers by lettering them with
restrictive legislation"
"Compulsion," he said, "can do
nothing that free workers will not
give in larger and more generous
measure when they are offered the op-
.portunity to cooperate"
Ralph A. Bard, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, told the committee that
the 40-hour week did not interfere
with production in any degree, though
"it makes it cost more"
"This question of cost is an eco
nomic question having to do with
many factors and the answer to this
should come from other agencies
which are equipped to evaluate these
factors" he said.
Hours Ceiling Defended
"There must be ceiling on the
work-week; otherwise you open the
door to sweatship conditions and the
possibility of employers working
clerks, stenographers and unorganized
employees ten, twelve and fourteen
hours day.
"It is my opinion the argument of
the unions against extending the
work-week to 48 hours is not based so
much on the question of the pay in
volved as it is upon the fact that they
have worked for so years to establish
the 40-hour week and that it should
not be discarded, even temporarily,
based on costs, for fear that they may
lose the results of their long efforts
to obtain this basic 40-hour week"
Warns of 'Irreparable Damage"
l. Metcalfe Walling, administrator
of the federal Wage-Hour Act, joined
in defense of present labor standards
by declaring in New York address
that no downward revision of the min
imum wage and overtime provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act coulo
possibly be made without doing ir.
reparable damage to our production
machine and to the health and eff.
cheney of our workers operating that
machine"

40 Hour Week No Bar to Production
AFL Head and Others Join In Vigorous
Defense Of Existing Standards

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Reac-
tionary attempts to break down labor
standards are meeting with the most
determined kind of opposition from
labor spokesnen, government officials
and progressive forces generally.
In testimony before the Senate Ap-
preparations C m m tee, William
Green, president Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and Philip Murray,
president of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, demanded a Con-
gressional investigation of what they
blasted as "organized efforts" to kill
the basic 40-hour week and unionism
with it.
President Green, blaming Oklahoma
newspapers for starting concerted op-
position to the 40-hour week, charged
that "a costly, well-fnanced and de-
liberatly planned campaign" was
back of the demand for elimination of
the 40-hour week.
This Campaign" proceeds, Green
said, though delays due to strikes
have virtually disappeared"
Hours Not Limited
Hitting at Misrepresentation of the
4O-hour week, Green pointed out that
no federal law or union contract
limits working hours in any one day
or week. Existing laws and stand
ards," he said, merely require pay
ment Of time and half overtime for
hours in excess of 40 week"
Discussing overtime provisions
Green said that payment of overtime
is not standing in the way of increased
war production. "Out of $50 employ
ers polled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics" he added, "648 replied
overtime payment did not restrict pro-
duction. They blamed shortages Of
materials and other unrelated causes
for delays"
The A. F. of L. head struck Wig.
orously at advocates of long working
weeks, declaring that experience
proves excessive hours yield less pro
duction. He said the Labor Depart
ment reports that working schedule.
of Sc to 60 hours a week are almos
unanimously condemned by employer
because they are too long for th'
achievement Of maximum output.
Holds Cooperation Best

workers are giving their best to tn
war effort and pleaded with Congress

untary cooperation offered by Amer

these topics Miss Nelson gave DEM
onstration on the care of a patient
with communicable disease in the
home. A delicious lunch of sand
witches and cookies was served by
the Kerrick members.
A very interesting meeting of the
Sunnyside All Club was held at the
district 43 schoolhouse Friday eve
ming. A worthwhile program was
given by the members in the form
of demonstrations, talks, and play.
This early training is invaluable in
helping to form their future. A talk
on safety in the home was given by
the county nurse. In the year 1910
there were more deaths from acct
dents in the home than from auto
mobile accident. Most of the acct
dents are caused from falls from
cluttered or dark stairways, ladders
that need repair, or by standing on
boxes, etc., when reaching a high
place. Burns, injury from farm ma
chinery and injury by animals rank
next. It is highly important that
in these times we do all that we
possibly can in order to prevent this
unnecessary expense and loss OF
time. We cannot afford to have &C
cidents in times when all of our
strength is needed to help preserve
our country.
