John Fitzpatrick Dies;
Chicago Labor Leader
BY the Assoeioisd Press

CHICAGO. Sept. 28.-John Fitz-
patrick, rs, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor for As years and
widely known in the organized labor
movement as a foe of racketeers,
died last night after a long illness.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick came to Chicago
from his native Ireland in 1882 and
shortly after became a member of
the horse shoers' local. He first
was elected president of the Chicago
federation, the city central body of
the American Federation Of Labor.
in 1901. For the last several years
no one opposed him for the Office.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was one of the
leaders in the early organization of
many Chicago locals, which now
total 300 with membership Of some
3OO. 600.

flower, and after rehearsal set out
for the University Club, where his
son was singing with the George
town group. His friends followed,
and tipped off the entertainment
chairman that George. sr., was in
the rear of the audience.
Shouted for Duet.
This fact was announced by the
chairman and the audience ap-
plauded and shouted for father and
son. The two responded with a
father-and-son duet, Come All Ye
Faithful"
In the language OF the Friendly
Sons, 1T was great day tonight
for the Irish and the O'Connors.
1t was on this same theme that
some 800 friends of George O'Connor
for all walks in life gave him testi-
monial banquet at the Mayflower
Hotel in June of 1910, again to sing
the old numbers he had been pre-
senting before them for half a
century.
On this occasion, President Roose-
welt sent another of several con-
gratulatory messages from the
White House for the man who had
entertained Presidents since the
days Of Grover Cleveland.
Defended Washington's Reputation.
Mr.. O'Connor was a staunch de-
fender of Washington's reputation
as musical center Of the old-fash-
ioned school, In July of 1941 he led
a distinguished group of friends to
Philadelphia to take part in bat
tie of barber shop ballads"
It was a clear-cut victory for the
hometown boys, Commissioned
John Russell Young announced, and
the Philadelphians repeatedly were
practicing for a return bout for
months thereafter.
Friends of Mr.. O'Connor esti-
mated that during his lifetime here
he attended no less than 5000 ban.
quets, dinners, luncheons and the
like, dedicated to charity, com.
munity and church affairs, or mere
/ ly to good fellowship.
Elected to Lawyers Club.
Mr.. O'Connor began his business
career at the turn of the century as
little more than a messenger boy
with the title firm. The company
was handling a business of more
than $5000O,000 annually when he
was elected president in 1941.
I In 1914, the attorney and title
executive was elected president OF
the Lawyers Club of Washington
an honorary professional and social
group whose membership is limited
to 100. Early this year he was
named vice president of the Oldest
Inhabitants Association, whose
meetings he had helped to enliven
for several generations.
Arrangements for funeral services
have not been completed.

GIVES REQUIREMENTS
FOR STATE, FEDERAL
PAY TO UNEMPLOYED

Helena, July 10-Many unemploy
ed workers and veterans of Mon
tana are under the impression that
benefits under the Montana unem-
ployment compensation law and fed
eral readjustment allowances are
available to them on the basis of
''come and get it," Barclay Craig
head, chairman of the unemploy-
ment compensation commission of
Montana, said today.
"The commission emphasizes that
in both civilian and veteran unem-
ployment programs, the laws are
very pointed in demanding that
claimants must be available for
work, must be able to work, and
must be registered for work with
the U. S. employment service be-
fore claimants may be determined
eligible for benefits" Craighead ex-
planned. "In addition, civilian un-
employment must have adequate
wage credits based on past employ
ment.
The great philosophy of both
laws is to provide for workers who
are unemployed through no fault of
their own, a small weekly cash
payment to tide them over the diff
ficult period between losing a job
and finding another, or in the case
of discharged veterans, in finding
a job, Craighead continued. The
payment is, in both cases generally,
a subsistence payment at best, and
is not intended to compete with
wages. The chairman further en-
phasized the point by stating that
the commission feels that a job is
always better than unemployment
benefits, and that such benefits are
at best only a temporary thing,
while a job has a good chance of
being permanent.
The reason for the two-week wait
ng period at the beginning of any
benefit year for state benefits is
% encourage unemployed workers to
'eek work, Craighead declared. There
S no waiting period for veterans
allowances.

CountyVa|uation Goes
To$86,000, 900;
ShowsGain OfS67,941
Greatest Increase In County Is Merchandise,
Followed By New Buildings Motor Vehicles
Livestock Also Shows Gain In Year

The total assessed valuation of
property in Yellowstone county has
climbed to more than $S6,0O0,000, the
highest in history, Assessor T. A.
Cothron stated this week. The fig
ure represents a gain of $5,298,47
over last year and "is new wealth
brought into the county; there has
been no increase in real property
other than new buildings" the as
SCISSOR said.
He added: "Our assessed value of
real property represents about so
per cent of present selling prices,
but we have made no increase be-
cause we feel that boom prices of
today will level off when building
conditions are improved. All new
construction has been figured on
the 194O-41 schedule and assessed
accordingly. We believe the new
assessments are very well equalized.
