PEOPLE CELEBRATE
VICTORY OVER JAPS

The people Of Butte observed the end
Of the war by loud and boisterous and
joyful celebration which included horn
bleating and the mines whistles blow
ing, confetti throwing and a hastily ar
ranged parade which took place about
1880 p. m. Many compliments were
paid those in charge of the parade for
getting out such a splendid aggregation
in so short a time. There were a num-
Der of drum corps, several unions, the
Mines band, the Montana State band,
the Butte High School band, American
Legion, Veterans Of Foreign Wars and
the Engineers from the School of Mines
represented. The festivities continued
way into Wednesday morning.
The past several days have been n
of tension and while most people felt
that Japan could not continue the war
much longer, the announcement by
resident truman that Japan has ac-
cepted the demands of the Allies and
that the war was at an END really
caused a letdown in physical, nervous
and mental tension which had accumu-
lated over the last, several weeks. The
whole nation celebrated and many hopes
were expressed that never again would
the world be faced with another war.

AFL OPENS FIGHT
ON BALL
BURTON-HATCH BILL

CHICAGO. - FP) - D%enOuncing the
Ball-Burton-Hatch bill as thoroughly
obnoxious, from its first section down to
the last paragraph, the ALL executive
council in session here declared uncon-
ditional war or the measure.
After hearing a careful analysis of the
bill by Counsel Joseph A. Psdway, the
council said it had decided its policy
will be to defeat the bill as a whole"
mo amendments will be offered, " the
council said in a statement released by
President william Green. The objec-
tionable features of this proposed legis-
lation are so numerous and so closely
interrelated that it would be impossible
to remove them by amendments. In
effect. the ll-Burton-Hatch bill would
destroy the fundamental freedoms Of the
nations workers in the postwar period
and prevent the progress Of labor towards
its goals of the future.
Regardless of what its sponsors claim
or profess, this bill constitutes II of
the most dangerous anti-labor measures
ever introduced in Congress.
1T vests in employers a large Measure
Of domination over workers and their
unions. It seeks to establish compul-
sorry arbitration. which labor has sue
oessfully resisted in the past. 1t would
virtually eliminate the union shop and
al the benefits to workers, industry and
the public which can be derived from
the establishment of union shop condi-
tons.
1T suspends the Norris-LaG uardia act
and would revive government by iniunc-
ton. It sets up a socalled code of n
fair labor practices which would severely
shackle the workers in their efforts to
organize. These are only a few of the
worst features Of the Ball-Burton-Hatch
bill which impel the executive council
to condemn the measure in its entirety
vigorous campaign against the bill AFL
local representatives in every city and
state will visit congressman and sena
tors during the recess to "let them know
now strongly labor resents this measure
ne sdlui ana AFL spohesAlSH VIII VSsVNy
against the bill when congressional hear
ings begin in the fall.
Green also announced he had received
a wire from Under Secretary of Wal
Robert p. Patterson thanking the Off
GERS and members of ALL building and
metal trades unions for their help in the
development Of atomic bombs.
You recruited skilled mechanics from
thousands of miles away to work on
these projects even though we could not
tell you what they were making Pat
terson said. Now you have the reward
Of knowing that their efforts are max
ing an important contribution to final
victory"
