CLUB HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING .Adopt Resolutions of Indorse- ment for Opening of the Crow Reservation Nt a special meeting of the Hardin Commercial Club last saturday evening the matter of . the Crow reservation was thoroughly gone over and the following resolutions were a- dopted: Whereas, a bill for the opening of the Crow Indian reservation n Montana, has been introduced into congress, And whereas, the opening of said reservation Would provide homesteads for many deserving settlers, and contribute largely to the development and prosperi- ty of eastern Montana and the t wn of Hardin, And whereas,the Crow Indians have all received attotments of land, and thus been placed in a p )sition to maintain themselves with out government aid, which the/ have already succeeded in do- ing to the extent that for some y3ars past the distribution of rations has been discontinued. And whereas, the opening .of the reservation would iteitly change!the value of the Indians' holdings and increase the prices receive & by them from inherited lands, And whereas, by the opening of the reservation a large num- ber of energetic and industrious settlers would be settled in the midst of the Indians, whose ex_ ample could not fail to be of in- fluence in educating the Indian in the ways of independence and self reliance, which has always been the object of the United States government, Be it resolved, that the Hardin commercial club of Hardin, Mon- tana, respectfully petition both houses of congress that they give this matter their earnest consid- eration, that the passage of such bill be secured and its purposes carried out as speedily as practic- able. Be it further resolved, that a copy:of this resolution be for- warded to Senators Carter and Dixon and Representative Pray, with a request that they use their utmost efforts to bring about the passage of such bill, and that a copy be also sent to the Governor of the state of Montana, and speakers of both houses of the Montana legisla- ture, with a request that they take such steps as may best bring about the objects expressed therein. Another Wreck Anotherwreck occurred on the Burlington on Wednesday of last week at Wyola, demolishing the engine and eight cars loaded with merchandise. A freight had pulled onto the &ding to let the passenger pass and while waiting the crew cut the engine off going to the coal sheds to coal up, leaving eight box cars with breaks set on sid- ing near main line. In some un- known manner the breaks lost their grip and the cars sneaked out on the main line. No 41, a fast passenger, running at a high rate of , speed crashed into the cars 'scattering contents and wreckage several feet oneach side of the track. A part from the disabling of the engine; the pas- senger train was not damaged and all members of the crew escaped uninjured. Train ser- vice was delayed ten hours. -.Ow • 4.11. - Orchard Increase Income Roundup Record: What can Song,. Program Christmas Eve, 1909 Christmas Acrostic. Recitation Recitation Recitation Play.

Corwin ...The Star in the Eas as to the scope and effect of the national arbitration law common- ly called the \Erdman Act,\ a brief statement of the provisions of the act seems called for. The act does not,indeed it could not, provide compulsory arbitra- tion; but it does not purport, and was intended to provide machin- ery for fair settlement by arbi- tration of all disputes • between a railway company and its employes where both consent to arbitrate. • The law was passed by con- gress June 1, 1898, and its ma- terial provisions are below stated. Whenever a controversy arises concerning wages, hours of con- ditions of employment, seriously Interrupting or threatening to interrupt the business of the carrier, the chairman of the in- terstate commerce commission and the commissioner of labor are required, upon request of either the carrier or the employes to use their best efforts, by med- iation and conciliation, amicably to settle the same. The next section of the law says that if the mediation fails the controversy may be settled by arbitration (note that this re- quires consent of both parties;) that the carrier shall select one arbitrator, the labor organization one, and the two thus chosen shall select a third; if the first two arbitrators fail to select a third within five days he is to be chosen by the commissioners above mentioned. A majerit_ of the board thus chosen is Efli- powered to settle the dispute. The board is required by the next section of the law to commence its hearings within ten days and and to make and award within thirty days. The act provides pending the arbitration the I status before existing shall not be changed, but provided that no employe shall be compelled to render personal service without his consent. The award and evidence taken is required to be filed in the circuit court of the United States. The law says this award shall be final and conclusive upon both parties, unless set aside for error of law apparent on the record. The law next says that the award shall be faithfully carried out by the parties and that it may be en- forced by the court, in so far as the powers of the court permit. But here again the law carefully pro- vides that no injunction or other process shall issue to compel an employe to work aninst his will. So that the award while perfect- ly binding on the employer is only morally so on the employe. The act next says that employes dissatisfied with the award shall not \by reason of such dissatis- faction\ quit the service within three months without thirty days notice. The employer dissatisfied with the award is forbidden to discharge employes within three months because of such dissatis- faction without thirty days no- tice. The law continues the effect of the award during one year. The act distinctly and in terms (4th section) limits the right of either party to take the contro- versy into court \except for mat- ter of law apparent on the re- cord.\ Upon such questions alone is any appeal to court given. No appeal therefore lies on ques- tions of fact, on questions of the reasonableness of wages or of any of the terms of service. The questions of law which give the right to either party to appeal to the courts are such as; that the arbitrators did not hear the parties, ,, r that they did not take an oath as the statute requires. Clearly this very restricted right to appeal to the courts is not im- portant or material. vv..AA~NAAAAwokovvvvvvv.A•wwww , that . • MocDONAI D & MOtIA1, Proprietors.

J. C. Clark of Fromberg, Carbon coun- ty. Ten years ago, he deter- mined to go into the fruit busi- ness. His resources amounted to 70 cents in cash, plus deter- mination and ambition. Today his income is $10,000 a year from his orchard. Mr. Clark was reared on a farm near Philadelphia, where he learned to distinguish between good soil and poor soil. Ten years ago he went to Fromberg to take charge of the church there. He discovered an unen- tered tract of eighty acres and suggest to his wife that he file upon it and build a home. \The idea of you thinking of such a thing,\ remarked Mrs. Clark, \You are a Methodist preacher and get a salary of $250 a year and have to feed two, , Merry . • 11. i .

No, you had better stick to your preaching.\ \The more I thought of that piece of poor government land the more I wanted to locate on it, because nobody else seemed to want it and the government did not think enough , of it to give it to the Indians,\ continued Mr. Clark, \I went to bed and slept over the subject. Next morning I got up and took stock, 70 cents being our sole financial posses- sion. I bought a half rate ticket to Red Lodge, and stopped off at Joliet to see a member of my church in order to borrow enough to file on the land. He didn't have it. I went on to Red Lodge and asked Banker Vail whether he would trust me with enough to file on an eighty over near Fromberg. since I did not possess any securty to give him. \ 'Sure I will. How much do you want?' \ was the banker's cheerful response. \You couldn't buy that piece of Government land today for $25,000,\ continued Mr. Clark, \and what I have done up in Carbon county, because I was the pioneer fruit grower of that sec- tion. you can do elsewhere in the state.'' *, Rev. Clark realizes an average iss , of $10,000 a year from his orchard and is today one of the most sub- stantial citizens of Carbon ty. He has not given ministry, either. ! • coun- up the Erdman Law Explained Charles W.
