News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

Thu session Of the Trades Il Labor
Council last Tuesday evening was high
lighted by an inspiring talk by Harry
Freebourn. Democratic candidate Tor
mayor. Mr.. Freebourn reviewed the his
tory of the labor movement for the past
fifteen years or more and recalled the
dramatic incident of the Transfers and
Macbinists' strike in the early twenties.
He reminded the delegates of the eX-
ceptional and outstanding herolsm
which his office and the office OF sheriff
displaced in that strike and in the Ia
nous 1884 strike of the miners.
Mr.. Freebourn compliment Kerr Beadle
for his attitude in those strenuous days
and presented a picture of how neces-
sarv it was in time of union crisis to
have officials in office who are sympa-
thetic to the people and can take a
neutral and sensible Interpretation OF
the law. BY the way, in the 1884 strike
of the miners. Mr.. F%reebourn as county
attorney and MI. Weir as sheriff of Sill
yer Bow county introduced a new de-
part1re il. economic and union policy by
circumscribing the scope of operations
of both the Anaconda Copper Mining
companv and the unions. In fact, to
make it simple, the officials told the
ACM to keep their gunner behind the
fences and the striking miners downtown
would be compelled to observe the law
likewise.
MI. FreebOurn in concluding his talk
explained that the attempt OF impeach-
ment of him at the time he was attor-
nev general was a frameup. He SAID
that if he were elcted mayor he would
advocate the building of a new city hall
the establishing Of a new lighting sys-
TEN. and he would attempt to invite new
factories to Silver Bow county.
A letter was received from the Yellow

Gil.

SOlicits Funds

The Sandy Spring Volunteer
Fire Department is again follow
ing the war emergency plan, begun
in 1912, of soliciting a part of its
funds by letter in lieu of the an
nual carnival. In 1914 $2,50O.00 in

community and afford you greater
protection. Donations also helped
to defray the costs Of maintain

apparatus which travelled more
than thousand miles to fight six
one fires since September 1914, ac-
cording to the president, William
