was announced this week that a
meeting of laboring men would be
at the opera house on Thursday
ag. but it was not expected by many
there would be such a general gath
. There were hundreds in thelbuild
the wage-earners occupying seats in
parquette and dress circle. which
filled, and the other parts of the
ing were also occupied by citizens
the city.
atte stage were the delegates frlm
Great Falls Trades and Labor t'oun
ontle twenty-five in number, with

is the assembly to order the preis
taid the workingmen were desirous
furthering their interests socially and
lv. as well as to work in every way
the interests of the people at large.
said the Trades and Labor Council
adopted resolutions at a recent meet
which were to be submitted to the
bers of the different organizations
their approval. He then called for
resolutions, which were read by sec

Cuumaittee of T1'ules autn Ijauler l ,-:.
of (treat Falls, Monit.
Adopted Oct. 27. INS.
During the reading Mr. .lamns w"s
frequently initerruptedi by apgslaui.
When he htad tiunisd a mnotion tor thei
adoption was made and seconded and
President Harmon asked those in favor
)t the motion to rise to their feet. The
response was unanimous and they were
adopted atnid applause.
Th. president then introduced Mr. P.
[) Joslyn. president of the (reat halls
Carpenter's Union. who said though un
expectedly called upon for an address he
wanted to endorse the resolutions by
Wsying he warn heartily in favor of (treatt
pal1for thns capital. 't'his city tis the
home of unlotism and ulonisonl is the
reSult if organiastlso. It was to matter
of much pride that the business men of
Great Falls were in hearty accord
with the laboring men. Two
years ago there were no local
unions in this city. The carpenters or
ganized with twelve charter members.
In this organization they had the hearty
co-operation of the citizens of the city,
and the last quarterly report showed
there were 174 members of their union
in good standing. In addition to the
Carpenters' union Great Falls has today
the following labor organizations: Stotc.
masone union, A. F.of L. No. ri2o. I.uild
ers' L. I. P. No. '! Plasterers National
union No. 110, Lathers' union, Brother.
hoo:i of Decorator. and Painters, Stoice
cutters' union, Bricklayers' union, Clerks'
Protective association, Cigarmakers'
union, Tallors'union and theTypograph
ical union. All the labor of Great Falls,
skilled and unskilled, is organized, and
there is not a nonunion man at work in
the city today. This, Mr. Joslyn said,
was a good thing to tell the workingmen
of Montana. Two years ago a business
man had said that a $1 rate to carpen
ters would kill Great Falls that eastern
capitalists' would not invest their
money in a place where such a rate of
wages obtained. That same man was to
day one of the best friends organized
labor had. lie had seen the falsity of
his prophecy in the great business blocks
and palatial homes which today orna
mnent this city aid are a triumph of the
work of organized laboring men. high
wages paid to laboring men are beneticial
to a city. The workingmnn is e-cbled
to build a liotie of his own and to live in
comfort and plenty. The city of (great
Palls mict continue to prosper. it is a
city where labor acid capital are in hearty
accord. The business man and the
wage earner co-operate to work for their
mutual interests, and tihe result is a city
where peace acill plenty reign. It is to a
place of this kind the working ien of
the state should turn to select a site for
the seat of government of Montana.
I). W. Beecher was next introducecl lv
the president. Mr. Heecher is still quite
lame and weak from the injuries he re
ceived, but he laid aside his crutch and,
aided by a cane, walked to the front of
the stage and said he weas there is the
representative of the laborers of Great
Falls. Ile was proud to stand there and
represent laborers who were several de
grees higher and who walk in a ichiher
plane of morality than the Chinese. lie
was ic hearty accord with the resolu
tions read, and said they should he sent
to every workingiian in Montana and re
ceive his careful consideration. Therei
are, he said, various reasons why- ircut
falls should be selected as the most
suitable place for the capital of the
state. Primarily the workingmen had
declared in favor of a city
not cursed by the Chinese. (ireat
Falls presentec her claim. It was the
desire of the wage earner that the lace
makers of the state should assemble in a
city free frcu the vice, the ciegredaticn
and the awful consequences consequent
upcni ('hinese settlements. No other
pilace in the state can set forth as just
a claim for the capital as tle city of
c-:ret Falls. It. cwas to the interest of
c-cry workiigccan to cast ciis vote for
tiis city. Icc doing this lie would be
carrying out the principles enjoined upon
Ir:i tiy the organization to which he ice
iigcc'. Mr. Ilkecicer said he would like
to speak at leI~gth, but wics prevented
doing tin iy the weakness resclticig frcm
his injury. blt he would -iccply say in
conclusion that tie wcas hopef ul the re
suiit oc the meetinc c n-ih t li c u-ci
kicoi to every wcrkiniinccc sil that
at their iands he cidii cin ear the lI-,
,silt.
.1r. T. \V. Brosnan was the nevxt
speaker. il said the action of the
workingitun in the adoption of the reso
lutions was not that of hatred to any
nation. It was to counteract the degre
(tation brought about by Chinese in the
I cutting down of wages. As a case in
point he cited the fact that in California
in 1470 the Chinese comunienced to pay
ttention to the manufacture of ladies'
shoes. At that time workmen were
paid ;18 per dozen for a department
in that trade. In 1872 the price fell
to el-': in l-S to ell: in 1s71 to
Kl10; in 1$75 to a^ : in 1eto to 07;
tblay it is Wi. In 1471i tailors received
!:e per week in less than Live years the
wages fell to et1t. and the tendnecy is
still downward. In 172, senipstresses
ionld make from t1 to 'SO a week. To.
lay the entire trade of underwearis ab
wtlutely under the control of t hinese and
women have been forced out of that
tree tie of inployment. The moral ef
fect of a Chinese' settlement in a coin
tiunity is known to all. The Cetna
town of a ity is simply ait iterialized
hell.
1ilr. livrunat said he was not a repre
sentative of any particular branch of or
ganized labor. but that he was in hearty
sympathy with every tenovernit looking
to the bettering of the condition of the t
laboring man. The Chinese luestion is
the most important one which confronts
the workinunian today. The wori:ing
menr should be made acquainted with
the situation in this city in relation to
the Chinese, and the object of this meet
ing was to let them know it in an official
manner. lie believed that when the
wage earners of the state were made
acquainted with the condition of affairs
here they would give this city their
uantimous support.
lie had heard it stated that a vote for
1:-eat Falls in the capital contest was a
vote thrown away. This was untrue.
.1 vote for principle is not a vote thrown
away. and a vote for Great Falls is a vote
for a principle. lie had been a member
of national K. of L. oonventions. and to
them came the prayers of the people of
the l'acitic coast asking for relief froi
the pj'stilenceof the presenceof Chinese.
plis:'r W'orkiian liowderly had his at
tention directed to the seriousnessof the
titutoutn and lie said:
*'T1he1 itent of the west must not be al
twet ti tight the battle single handed
toft alone. The evil they cotiiiilain iof is
no lnger contined to one si.ctiin of this
riintry. It is spreading and its evil in
luintt'" are being felt in all our indus
taial cent.'rs. and if a desire to assist our
It 'thre'n in a righteous cailse is not suf
tic:it to auinate us and stir us to act
tion, then self-interest will sisiii prompt
us ti b-stir ourselves. 1 ih order tust
its a itit in this matter.'
If 11 t liiese are not eutcluded the

degrheadeod.
Te wrkinmen will not be alone in
the contest they wage against the Chi
nese, but will receive the united support
of the business men. But It was time
for the workingmen to act. Even now
the business men of Butte, where the
Chinese have a strong hold, are greatly
alarmed at a threatened invasion, and
have appealed to the laboring men for
support. as is witnessed by the follow ing
circular:
WILL YOU HEIlLP US.

in conclusion al r. Broanan said he was
vere glad that ohlicial action had been
taken here and that he was tirmily con
vinced that when the workingmen of
Butte, Anaconda. Granite and Helena
were acquainted with the situation in
Great Falls they would rally to the sup
port of their brethren here. This is die
tun'tly a workingman'a town and skilled
and unskilled lauor is as well paid here
as in any city in Montana or in the
United States. Chinamen were excluded
from the town when it was first settled,
and will le forever barred. lie hoped
the resolutions adopted would lie placed
in the hands of every workingman in the
state. and when this is done Ureat Falls
will receive their cordial and united sup
port.
The meeting t(ien adjourned with three
rousing cheers and a tiger for Greut -alls
for the capital.

An Initeres'thing ('immaaaunicattion~ A.linut
tihe Ciy ands li the Cntry Tiib
In the Minneapolis Journal of a late
date the following appeared from the
pen of Mr. James A. MacKnight, who
has arranged to furnish prominent east
ern publications with letters descriptive
of Montana and her matchless resources.
Mr. MacKnight is thoroughly conversant
with the various industries of the state.
Mining. now recognized as the most im
portant of these, will formi the subject of
several letters, and to this task the
writer brings the invaluable knowledge
acquired by residence in the stale and
personal inspection of the ditferent min
eral producing sections while engaged in
the preparation of an exhaustive work
entitled "The Mlines of Montana," which
he prepared for the National Mining
congress in session at Helena last sum
imer. Every industry in the state will
be given deserved mention. The follow
ing letter relative to (treat Falls will
prove of especial intere-t to readers here:
Julian IRalph is writing a series of ar
ticles in Hlarper s Magazine which have
been most gratifying to the people of the
entire west, including those of Montana,
about whom Mr. Italph has had many
pleasant things to say, calling this state
-Montana the (;ulden." His accurate
i descriptions have enabled his readers to
forii some pretty correct ideas about
this wonderful country, its resources and
its possibilities, but in the nature of the
case it was not possible for Mr. Ralph to
give much attention to details.
That the readers of the Journal iay
judge for themselves as to what kind of
a country Montana is, I will take for the
subject of this letter the city of (treat
Falls. which sprang up at the junction of
the Sun river with the Missouri river
seven or right years ago. The city is on
tiii line cf the treat Northern railroad.
and is also tic tirllinut lef the l (treat
halls . Alberta railroaci. a iarrocw gauge
running to the Lcthbridae coal tieldi in
Canaea. Surveys have been made by
the turlington which inclicati that thi
we-tern elten-ion of this rcad will pass

city railway fa-ilities to Neihart and

Coulee. Frioc there circumistances it
will lie seen that the city is already a
I center of considerable activity. It has a
I population by actual count of 10,1 ii., acii
is substantially built with elegant and
expensive iusiness blocks. and private
residences. and all the adjuncts of cccc

and it is really on agricultural develop

this it is not intended to deprecate the
mining industry, but it is a well known
fact to those who are informed on the
subject that every dollar of gold or sil
ver taken from the ground costs from 84
to ji5. This calculation does not refer to
a paying mine, which Is taking out $100,
1x00 ounces of silver at a cost of SiA),O(O.
It refers to the mining industry as a
whole. The time and labor and money
spent for prospecting, in exploring and
developing prospects which turn out to
be useless, and the machinery that is
purchased for the working of the mines
which are exhausted before they reach a
paying basis. (treat Falls, being situat
ed in one of the richest agricultural re
gions of the west, a country of boundless
possibilities, will never be entirely de
pendent upon the ups and downs of
mines, and its growth will therefore be
entirely independent of the rise or fall
of the metals. As a smelting and man
ufacturing center it will receive all the
bemelits when the mining industry is
prosperous without feeling to any mark
