APPOINTMENT OF BROWN
RECALLS FAMOUS CASE

The recommendation Of Montana SEN
atOrs Of r. Lewis Brown for the United
States District Judgeship recalls to mind
the famous Angove case in which the En-
gineers' Union No. 83 of Butte was In
volved with a local hospital on matter
concerning who should be responsible for
payment Of services wherein members OF
the union were under a contract to pay
dollar month for treatment
In this case, Angove sustained an IN
jury and he went to the hospital. The
hospital, so it is said, subsequently gar
nisheed his wages. The Engineers Union
took the matter up i'll the interest OF Mr.
Angove, who was a member. The case
was first brought into one of the justice
courts of Silver Bow Township and ia
vorable decision was obtained. Later on,
however, it was brought into the District
Court, in fact, the late Judge Carols
court. and an unfavorable decision to the
Union or to Angove was given. The Union
then brought the matter into the Montana
Supreme Court and a unanimous decision
was given by that body in favor OF
Angove.
Some interesting "reminiscences remain
from that famous case, particularly in re
lation to some of the lawyers of Silver
Bow County. The Engineers Union had
a somewhat difficult time in obtaining le-
GAL service for this action and some Of the
most prominent liberal attorneys refused
to have anything to do with it, but r.
Lewis Brown accepted the case and won 1t
for the Union and for AngOye
1t is well to remind the members OF or
ganized labor and especially all unions
under contract Of the beneficial effects OF
that decision Of the Supreme Court that
was won by Mr. Brown. Hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have been saved for
the working people through that decision
Prior to that time, hospitals contended
that the patient under contract must pay
so per cent of the cost, but the Supreme
Court decision said that the dollar that
was paid by the worker under contract
covered the entire cost Of disqualification.
So it is not difficult to understand why
the organized labor movement OF Butte
and Of Montana is pleased with the ap-
pointment of r. Lewis Brown as United
States District Judge.

THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Christian nations observe Christmas be-
cause Christ the Savior was supposed to
have been born on the 25th day Of Decem-
Der of the year 1.
It is particularly significant that hui
manity should gauge its time by the birth
of Christ, and the more we ponder over
this phenomenon, the more it causes us to
stop and wonder and contemplate.
Historians say there is no record OF the
birth of Christ and His birthday has been
celebrated in every month of the year. AS
a matter of fact, Christmas is merely
continued celebration Of the pagan Gus
tom of observing and giving thanks for a
bountiful harvest. In all times and in all
ages, people in all nations, civilized and
otherwise, have given thanks to God and
to the gods at the close Of the growing
season.
Christmas. rightfully interpreted, real
" means CHRIST'S MASS, and has cone
down through the ages to us as a religious
ceremony. The day is a holy one, but sad
to say, has been, is, and will be generally
abused by intemperance and lack OF CON
sideration.
The fundamental principle of observing
Christmas, however, will remain strong In
the hearts of humanity because OF it's en-
Dbasis of ''Peace on Earth, Good Will 10
ward Men" This sentence sometimes be-
comes rather trite or even flippant and
there is tendency to repeat it without
giving due consideration to its real mean
ING. E'Peace Oh Earth, Good VIII Toward
Men, means no more wars, no more pow
ertv, no more sickness, no more selfish
ness and no more grief. It really means
that the combined intelligence and accom-
plishments Of science and of the human
mind shall be devoted to the uplifting OF
humanity and not to its detriment nor the
destruction of it's culture and its labor.
No one has any definite record Of the
life Of Jesus Christ. Some say He was
carpenter. That He was socialist, there
can be little question as told in the gospels
of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Historians say that Jesus Christ never

mind that there have been many prophets

prophets, such as Mohamet and Buddha,
the same as we have Jesus Christ. Asiatic
people look upon these names with as

Trees and Decorations Bring Yule Cheer;
Carelessly Placed They Can Bring Death

doorway which might be needed TO
escape from the room.
Be Careful With Candles.
The candle for Christmas is still
taking its yearly toll Of lives and
property. It is found on Christmas
trees more rarely every year, but
none the less, it is used unwisely IN
many places during the Christmas
season. Open flame lighting is en-
tirely out Of place unless you set up
your candles and lamps well away
from Christmas trees, window cur
tains and burnable decorations,
have a fire extinguisher handy and
then keep constant watch over them.
Such precautions are not needed for
the equally attractive electric lights
made esp pecially for decoration.
But it is important that your
Christmas lights be in good condi-
ton. A short circuit in worn wiring
might be sufficient to start the tree
burning.
If your fuses are Of proper rat
ing, too many lights from one set Of
outlets will blow them. If this hap
pens, eliminate some of the lights,
and replace the blown fuse with an
other of the same size and rating.
An overloaded circuit is extremely
dangerous for fire may start in the
walls.
If you decorate your house elabo-
rately you'll have a very serious
hazard unless you use incombustible
material. Elaborate decorations are
an important feature of most par
ties held in clubs, dance halls and
other public places but terrible trag-
edies have occurred when small fires
flashed across halls filled with COM
bustible hangings. Many communi-
ties require that such decorations be
treated to reduce fammability.
Flameproofed materials can be pur-
chased at many stores. Insist on
them.
Flame-proofng treatment is avail
able for home use if combustible
materials are used. However, met
al, glass and asbestos decorations
are available nearly everywhere and
are quite as attractive as those of
the dangerous paper, cotton, and
pyroxylin. "Fireproofng" of pyrox-
ylin is not possible.
Montana labor news., 1944-12-21

Christmas, a time for happiness
and fond memories, is sometimes
transformed into a horrifying trag-
edy by carelessly planned, inAam-
mable decorations A few simple
rules compiled by the National Fire
Protection association point the way
to a decorative yet safe Christmas
without the specter of death-dealing,
destructive fire.
The Christmas tree, symbol of the
season, can become a blazing men
ace if caution is not used regarding
its placement and care. A fresh cut
tree will not take fire any more cas-
lily during the first day or two than
would the evergreen shrubs grow
ing outside, but it becomes a more
serious fire hazard every hour.
1t is best to bring in a fresh tree
as short time before Christmas as
possible, and to remove it as soon
afterwards as you can. Families,
churches, clubs, and business men
who want to keep their trees from
a week or more before Christmas
until after New Years day need
observe special safeguards to keep
it reasonably safe.
Keep Tree in Water.
The tree can be kept fresh if you
set it up in a pan of water. Cut off
the base of the tree at an angle at
least one inch above the original
cut and keep it standing in water
during the entire period that the
tree is in the house, adding water
to the jar or tub in which the tree
stands at intervals to keep the wa
ter level always above the cut. This
method when used with fresh trees
reduces the fammability as effec-
lively as any freproofng chemicals.
Chemicals may cause the tree to
turn brown OF yellow or to lose its
needles.
The place you select for your tree
should be well away from stoves,
radiators, and other sources of heat.
When you smoke, keep away from
the tree.
The tree should be well secured
against falling by inconspicuous
wires holding it against the wall.
The tree should be so placed that,
standing or fallen, it cannot block q

TRUCKS NEEDED
IN CROP CRISIS

Operators Of medium and
heavy duty trucks who are domi-
ciled in the Wilmington ODT dis
trict were called upon yesterday
by George T. Musselman, district
mana ger of the Office of Defense
Transportation, to send their
trucks to the Dover, Del, ODT
district to aid in the movement of
a heavy crop of tomatoes and
peaches.
''The Dover district of ODT can
use 20 to 30 trucks Immediately
in the transportation of this perish
able produce, he said.
Operators who desire to use their
trucks for this purpose should con-
tact one of three men to determine
if their trucks are suitable for such
use, advising the type and condl-
ton of their equipment.
The three men to be contacted
are F. B. Bell, chairman of the
tomato and IRISH potato ADVISORY
committee, Machipongo, Va; W. J..
Vaughn, chairman of the tomato
and Irish potato advisory commit
tee, Olny, Va; and R. w. Wine,
chairman of the peach transpor-
tation advisory committee, Wood
side, Del.
Operators requested by any one
of these three men to take their
vehicles to the Dover, Del, district
should contact the Wilmington dis
trict ODT for authority to move
their trucks into the Delaware dis
trict.
"Requests from any one of the
committee chairman will be acted
upon by the Wilmington distric: of
