LABOR'S LEGISLATIVE ENEMIES

While no anti labor measures were enact
ed in the last session of the Montana legisla-
ture, a vicious anti labor sentiment existed
and exhibited in both house and senate. The
opponents Of labor had the votes in both
houses to enact any kind of avs aimed at
the destruction of organized labor in this
state but a fear complex existed and this
alone saved labor.
Sen. George S. Gosman Of Beaverhead
county, chairman of the Republican state cen
trail committee, voted against all labor meas
ures, including teachers tenure and the teach
ers minimum wage bills. He let his animosity
against labor be shown at every opportunity
that presented itself. When the Republican
party in convention. assembled chose for their
state chairman such a pronounced opponent
of organized labor, what can the workers eX-
pect from such a party?
Some gains were made by the workers
when bills were enacted increasing the bene-
fits to injured workers two dollars and fifty
cents a week-three dollars a week increase
in unemployment compensation and ten dol
lars a month increase in benefits to incapaci-
tated victims Of ~silicosis.
However, all other labor bills were de-
feated by decisive majorities and all of which
had much merit to them.
1t is high time organized labor in Montana
was taking cognizance of its political enemies
and defeat them, at the polls. Labor in Mon
tana has political strength.

My Dear Friends:
The cry New Lamps for Old"
leaves me unstirred. The only light
l know and for which the darkness
of this old world waits is 'The Light
of the World"
The old heart with all its diseases
can never be cured by any New
Thoughts" or modern nostrums.
Mans hunger can only be satisfied
by Gods bread. Human sorrow can
only be soothed by the Pierced
Hand" Those who would remove
grit from the conscience, break the
chains of passion and life long habit,
kiss tears away from sorrows face
and teach grief how 10 sing, must
keep in close touch with, and be
absolutely loyal to the redeeming
blood and grace of the dear Son of
God.
Christ who died, Christ who rose
again, and is alive forevermore, able
to save to the uttermost- that is the
message for which this poor old sim
cursed and sorrow struck world is
waiting
This is the work of the pulpit,
and he who wastes his time with less
than this only aggravates the deep
need of the heart and robs the re-
deeming Christ of His crown rights.
Happy if with my latest breath l
may but gasp His name, preach Him
to all and cry in death, Behold, be-
hold the Lamb"
