COST OF LIVING

Although it is no longer in the limelight,
the cost Of living controversy is still very
much alive. A lengthy reply to the
Thomas-Mean report has been issued by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and now
the National Industrial Conference Board
follows with its own report, which leans
heavily upon the BIS answer, the Mills
Committee report, and a study by DIR.
MILFORD l. King, professor of economics
at New York university. In the last
analysis this controversy between statis-
ticians will go a long way toward deter
mining if the Little Steel Formula is to be
scrapped; and moreover, it will determine
the outlines and the liberalness Of any new
formula to take its place. The struggle
for index points is not academic, but is
for bread and butter.

HUMANE SOCIETY
NEEDED IN BUTTE

A meeting of dog lovers and humani-
tarians is scheduled at the Butte Chamber
of Commerce on the evening of June l,
1914, 500 O'Clock, for the purpose of or
ganizing humane society in Butte.
An organization of this kind has long
been an urgent necessity but sadly ne
elected.
The City Council of Butte met in special
session on the evening Of May 24th to con-
slider a couple Of proposed ordinances
which had for their purpose controlling
the dog situation in this city. Objections
we're made by some of the spectators to
the plan advanced by the City Council as
being too harsh. It appears that the city
of Butte is lacking adequate facilities to
dispose Of homeless dogs and consequent
ly, it has been charged, that the system
now in vogue is contrary to the modern
Montana labor news., 1944-06-01

Another child labor law was enacted
during the l94l legislative session, which
establishes a minimum age Of 2l years
for all persons employed to serve beers,
liquors or wines to customers at retail
Severe penalties are provided for the
violation of all our state child labor laws
and apply on the basis Of three different
phases; ID against the employer for
employing a child under age at a pro-
hibited occupation; 90 against the en-
ployer for failure TO have an age GER
tificate on file for each minor employed
at an occupation prohibited to children
under 16 years of age, and 90 against
the parents of an under-aged child, who
has permitted his child to be employed
at an occupation prohibited 10 children
under 16 years of age.
In all cases, except in connection with
farming and stock raising, the maximum
daily hours must not exceed eight, and
employees in retails stores, wholesale
warehouses and commercial establish
ments are also limited to a maximum 48
hours per week. Other jobs the maxi
mum weekly hours may be up to Sc.
Yeager said that because the State
Division of Labor and the Industrial Ae-
cident Board received many reports Of
injuries to children during l943, all en-
ployers intending to employ young work
ers, or who are employing them now,
should carry some form Of industrial
accident insurance. Many of the in
juries were only trivial, yet others were
very severe-two such accident to chill
dren resulted in their deaths. The in
juries were caused by ordinary accidents,
negligence and lack Of supervision, and
lack of know how" TO do the job.
Yeager said most employers of young
workers do provide a reasonable amount
Of training and supervision for the in
experienced young worker, as well as
establishing reasonable working hours
comparable to the child's physical and
mental ability, however some employers
do exploit the children and actually work
them under sweat shop conditions. He

be corrected under existing labor laws
since there is no law providing for cover
age. Two Of our most important, broad
coverage child labor laws were enacted
in 1903 and 1907, the other one concern
ing the serving Of beers, liquors or wines
to customers at retail was enacted in
194l. In addition the Division Of Labor
has the problem Of proper enforcement
Of existing laws because of lack Of suf-
ficient funds and personnel.
In the event an employer might be
covered by both federal and state chile
labor laws, that law establishing the
higher standard will apply. Inquiries or
state child labor laws may be addressed
to the Division of Labor, State Capito
building, Helena, Mont, and on fedora.

ing power Of our armed forces, and, if
the truth were known, of the productive
powers of working people. Serious in
peace, these diseases in wartime are a
number one health problem,
One of the purposes of these articles
is to give information that will help
you protect your health. Later in the
series, suggestions will be made for action
that can be taken by your trade union
to support measures needed to control
venereal disease.
Facts in the case
Here are a few facts showing that
these contagious diseases are the coun-
try's number one health problem.
l. There is aso to believe that if
all conditions due to syphilis We're re-
ported as such it would be found a lead
ing Of death in the United States.
?. -Four million people in the United
States have syphilis in every 30. More
than 5O0,0 OO people contract the disease
yearly.
g.. Syphilis is a catching disease. 1t
spreads from one person TO another by
body contact, mainly during sex relations.
a. Gonorrhea strikes at least 8 times
as many people as syphilis.
S. Syphilis, if untreated, may result
in insanity, blindness and other serious
disorders.

the reason for the deaths of many in
fants in the first weeks Of life.

For the PLAIN truth is that the danger
of venereal infection can be avoided. The
surest way to avoid infection is to avoid
exposure to infection. Veneral disease

weapons at hand for the treatment and

LOIS ELLEN MILLER

Lois Ellen Miller was born on
June Is, 1913, and died on July
81, 1914. A precious baby from
us has gone. A voice we loved,
is still. A place is vacant in our
hearts that never can be filled.
Oh, how we miss you, dear little
Lois. Your pretty blue eyes and
smiling face will live in our
memory always. Weep not, Fa-
Their, mother and little brother,
for the dear one that's gone away.
If we live a good life we will
meet again some day.
Oh, if we could only see her
as she is today. We would see
her in the loving arms of Jesus,
not so far away. On earth we
will never see her, that we know
is true, but again we will meet
her just beyond the blue.
Written by her grandmother,

He lived a prophetic life in that
he stood for the things he believ-
ed to be right at whatever might
be the personal cost. His life
was grounded in the belief that
there is right and wrong in the
earth, and he understood and had
faith in the forces of right to the
point where he counted his life
nothing for the sake of his ideals.
His kindness and consideration
as a husband, and father to his

live on in growing progression,

beacon to Ego and do thou like

He died peacefully after a
