250Labor Leaders Met
In Fargo Over Last
Weekend

More than $50 representatives of
labor from North and South Dakota,
Montana, and other nearby states met
in Fargo last weekend to discuss cur
rent anti labor legislation, reports
James D. Graham, president of the
Montana State Federation of Labor,
who was in attendance.
Immediate attention of the repre-
sentatives was held by two severe anti
labor laws passed by the recent North
Dakota legislature.
Under terms of the two laws closed
or union shop contracts between labor
and management would be prohibited.
Also a union licensing system would
be set up. Further restrictions on
labor would establish a sO-called 30
day "cooling-off'' period between the
strike vote and actual strike call; pick
citing by anyone other than an employee
of the struck plant would be forbidden,
and secondary boycotts and sympathy
strikes would be outlawed.
The representative at the Fargo
meeting voted to circulate referendum
petitions and carry the fight for labor
to the polls in 1913. Petitions carry
ing the signatures of 1000 voters must
be filed with the North Dakota secre-
tary of state by not later than June 5,
to suspend operation of the laws.

Reader Raises Many Questions Relative

In our desire to protect democracy,

republican and southern democratic
congressional majority, has ordered
loyalty tests for more than two mil

Heretofore only questionable per-

The investigation will be in the

Mr. w. Boyle, president district 27
United Mine Workers,
Billings, Montana
By action of the delegates at our
regular quarterly convention, we are
instructed to prepare a statement of
sympathy with the mine workers and
express our support for their just de-
mands for more adequate safety pro-
visions and decent living wages for
their work Accordingly, this letter
is addressed to you and we hope you
will extend to your members the con-
Germ which we, as organized farmers,
feel for the problems of our fellow
workers in the coal industry.
We are heartily iii accord with the
proposition that, in as much as the
supreme court has seen fit to rule that
the miners are working for the gov
eminent despite the obvious fact that
they are really only working for the
same profiteering industrialists, under
the compulsion of the government
sponsibility for conditions of labor in
Guiding such excessive hazards as
caused the recent disaster in Centralia.
1t is the expressed desire of the
delegates at our county convention to
do all that we can to assist the efforts
of the mine workers to obtain the same
working conditions and living stand
ards which we would desire for our
selves under the same circumstances.
We hope our action may encourage
the members of the Mine Workers I'M
ion in the knowledge that we are con-
scious of their problems and do have
the desire here expressed, to aid them
in their efforts.-Flathead County

Missouri Valley Development Under An
MVA Is No. Problem of Nation

Washington-Mo Llewelyn Cooke
expects some yelps of protest, but he
insists that the Missouri valley is a
backward area and on the economic
skids
He defines the valley as containing
20 per cent of the continental area of
the United States distributed among
large parts of Missouri, Kansas, Colo
RADIO Minnesota, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, all of
Nebraska and considerable part of
western Iowa.
This area is not Gods country, re-
ports Cooke, but one of the undevel-
oped areas of the world. His pre-
scription for the illness he diagnoses
is early enactment of Missouri valley
authority to undertake there what the
IVA is doing for the valley of the
Tennessee river OF the Missouri val

ineer, says in a paper written for the

Construction statistics are particu-

Helena Labor Temple
To Be RemOdeled
This Spring

The labor temple board of the Hell
ena Trades & Labor assembly this
week decided upon a program of ex-
tensive remodelling of it's labor tenn
pie.
Included in the remodelling will be
the installation of a new heating sys-
tenn; complete redecorating of the
main meeting hall including lowering
of the ceiling and installation of acus-
tic tile ceiling. Cloak and rest rooms
will also be constructed.
All labor to accomplish the remodel
ling will be donated by various mem
bers of the Helena building trades.
Unions already pledging labor include:
Carpenters, Sheet Metal Workers,
Electricians, Plumbers and Painters.
The Cooks & Walters and Bartenders
unions have donated $25 each to help
pay the expense of feeding the volun-
teer union craftsmen.
The Helena labor temple was pur-
chased by the trades assembly from
the Moose lodge less than a year ago.
Funds for the most part for making
the purchase were put up by 13 affil-
lated unions.

this apply in aid to Greece, or does it
