News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

A meeting Of importance to the peo-
pie of Montana will be held at Helena,
Sunday afternoon, December II, for the
nlrpose of discussing the merits or de-
merits of the NTVA as embodied in a
measure introduced by Senator James E.
Murray. It is evident that the Anaconda
Mining Company and the Montana
Power Company and other vested inter
ests are very much opposed to this
measure but the unions are all in favor
of it because it appears to be something
that is for the benefit of the people. 1t
is hoped that the farmers will not be de-
ceived by the propaganda being spread
in the company's daily sheets. Mr.. E. G.
Vawter, secretary Of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council has been
elected to attend the meeting and It
was also announced that Richard Dono-
van and Henry Grabenstein, secretary
and president, respectively, of the Butte
Building Trades Council, were chosen to
attend the meeting. James Quill will
represent the Electricians union.
For many years past it has been the
custom of the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council to hold party some time
in January, following the election OF
officers. At times these parties have
been quite elaborate, but the last year
or so the event has been considerably
more modest on account Of the war.
However, the Silver Bow Council decided
to hold social ON January % and ap-
pointed the following committee to make
arrangements and recommendations as
to how large the party should be. The
committee follows: William Palmer
Clearance E. Blewett, Leonard Ripper
Lena Mattausch, Stewart Waters, Mar
garet Driscoll, Dan Holland, John Coli
gan, Charles Hockaday and oscar Hills.
Ralph Carson of the Machinists union
was appointed by Chairman Crawford

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 18.-This city
plays host to the largest football
crowd in the Nation today because
a mixup in tickets necessitated
erection of temporary seats, boosting
capacity of Lakefront Stadium to

stead of $3.50.
The printer, after correcting the
error, sent the tickets to a local box
office instead of returning them to
Ohio State. The university had ac-

lem.

By LEWIS F. ATCHIsON

~ LEWIS r. ATCHISON.
/ Picking the winner Of tomorrow
Redskin-E Eagle duel at Grinhth Sta.
dunn Is one OF the most puzzlini
problems the football professors hav,
been called on to solve in some time
| It's one OF those games In which
figures evidently mean nothing ant
lunches mean less, and almost an,
result will be surprising.
For instance, the Redskins ar,

and yet there is an uneasy feeling
around the wigwam that they hac
their chance to beat the Eagles last
month and missed. That was wher
they overcame a two-touchdowr
lead, went ahead by one and ended
with a 3l-3l tie.
Then, too, after succession oi
good breaks, the Tribe may be due
for few of the left-handed variety
which wouldn't be good against q
club of Philadelphia caliber. But
it also is about time Washington's
line and backfield got together and
played good, all-around game
simultaneously. 1t seems to be
series of balanced counterbalance.
Shugart Makes 1914 Defeat.
Redskin fans will have their first
peek at Clyde Shugart this season
and his presence In the line-up, on
defense only, may make big dif-
ference in the final count. "Shug
isn't at peak physical condition after
being parked behind desk most OF
the season, but he can be relied on
to give a good account Of himself
as long as he lasts.
And we may see Sammy Baugh
and Frank Filchock in the same
backfield together for the first time,
something Tribe supporters have
relished. This isn't definite, but is
being weighed as possible secret
weapon to overcome the Eagles
vaunted running and passing game
Baugh worked out with the club this
week, spending most of his time on
passing, which wasn't good at
Brooklyn last Sunday, and should
show some semblance Of his old
form.
Worry Mostly Over Defense.
But it is not the Tribes offense
as much as defense that has the
board of strategy worried. If the
line repeats last weeks perform
ance, which included a stand on the
pinch line, the Eagles may not
fly SO high, and If 1t suffers q let
down the Philly backs will be
running all over the lot.
Washington is geared to stop
speedy Steven Van Buren,, acclaimed
one of the leagues best all-around
backs this season. as well as Zim-
merman's passing. These are the
key men in the visitors attack
and If they click it'll be curtains
for the District delegation.
The game, while 1t will decide
the current leader in the Eastern
division, definitely will not settle
the issue. Washington, however,
would have more chance Of COM
ing back than Philadelphia in case
of a defeat, as the Eagles have
been tied twice and have three
tough opponents still to meet.
