DIVISIONS OF WA URGED TO SPEED APPLICATIONS Davis Makes Appeal to County Boards, City Officials in Western Montana to Rush Plans. I37GIRLSCOUTS 'ATTENDEDCAMP Report on Outing at Camp Lowlands Presented by Director.

A registration of 137 was recorded at the recent three-week, summer camp of Butte Girl Scouts at Camp Lowlands. This information was contained in a report submitted to Miss Burney Rice, local commissioner, by Miss Luctle Skewes, director, today. Girls from eight communities besides Butte attended. Lima sent 12; Twin Bridges, Bozeman, Anaconda Wisdom, Whitehall, 15; Virginia City, 12, and stevensville 3. The remainder were from Eighteen stayed in camp two Weeks or more.

Miss Skewes said the local coun- 'cil was already mapping out a fall and asked that all in- in Girl Scout activities administration program, terested reach her at the building office. Tom J. Davis, Western Montana director of the WPA, today urged all subdivisions under his Jurisdiction to speed up their applications for projects to assure government assistance to employables now on relief. Unless speed is shown, some lagging units may find themselves called upon to provide maintenance or employment, without federal aid, for employables now on relief, he warned. Funds afc present are available for placing from 10.000 to 15,000 men and women In the 16 western counties, employable and now upon relief, upon security earnings.

This money should be accepted at once by the subdivisions or residents may be demanding to know why there is no'project for' them to work upon before the winter is over, warned Mr. Davis. Cannot Create Projects. "We are willing to help in every respect any legal subdivision which may create and apply for a project, but we are unable to.create those projects ourselves," he added. is the duty of the legal subdivision.

"It will be no easy matter to provide projects sufficient to maintain the employable people now upon relief in the 16 western counties. This is even more difficult in our climate, where winter projects are hard to create and much thought and attention must be given to that phase of the WPA program. "These men and women must be provided for in the new set-up, and it is the opportunity of the legal subdivisions to see that projects are provided. WPA not only provides support and maintenance for men and women placed upon security earnings but it also will bring millions of dollars into the home life and channels of business of these communities. Most Co-Operate.

"Most of the cities and counties are co-operating splendidly. Some few, however, in their delay may bring about a most serious situation for their respective communities and particularly for the men and wom- en who should be placed upon security earnings. "Useful and needed projects will be with very little cost to the communities and counties which, under the law, are called upon to support their own citizens who need help. Projects which may be undertaken at small cost under the WPA would cost thousands of dollars If undertaken alone by ths governmental subdivisions. "County commissioners all over the state have been very busy with their budgets and county engineers and public works departments have been overworked with their street oiling programs.

This will account for some of the delay. SEVENTREATED Four Butte Residents and Helena Woman Injured in Auto Collision. "But Some Are Slow. some legal divisions, apparently not realizing the importance to them of creating projects, have been slower than they need be. Their people later will be compelled to look to them unless the security earnings plan is carried out.

"The WPA comes bearing gifts to each community in the 16 western counties. Surely these communities are interested enough to wish aid In caring for iheir own folk and in placing them upon security desire to bring to their communities much needed improvements and projects. "We sincerely urge all county commissioners and city officials especially, immediately to prepare and to submit their projects. It means much to their welfare and should not be neglected nor delayed. 1 Local Carpenter Union Insists NRS Plan Unsatisfactory.

PHONE 2-U41 472 EAST MEKCUKI Objection to the methods used In filling jobs, in connection with the operation of the local national reemployment office, was made by the Butte carpenters' union hi the following "Carpenters' local union No. 112, wants a square deal from employers who are hiring their help through the local national re-employment yesterday, office.

"A few days ago an article appeared to the daily papers from the above office stating that they might have to send out of the state for carpenters, if the men from Butte and other district did not register for out-of-town work. The general public who are not familiar with conditions that prevail on out-of- town Jobs would think that Jobs for various crafts are going begging and that men would rather stay on relief than go to work on out-of-town work. But such is not the case. "We have sent men from Carpenters local No. 112, by request of the N.

R. office to various jobs and when the men got there, the jobs were filled and the men In some cases went to the expense of from 10 to 20 dollars, and the office states they are helpless in the cases and have no authority to reimburse men for loss of time or expenses. "It is common knowledge that If some contractors want men they will send to Butte, Helena, Anaconda, and perhaps other places and ask for the required of men from each place and as they come they will put them to work lor anywhere from, 2 hours to a few days and let them go. And at that time there will be more than enough idle carpenters in that same locality looking for work to fill the job. "A man who has been on relief or anyone else can't afford to take from 10 to 20 dollars out of his pocket and go on futile trips at the request of the government agency here in Butte, which does not assure him of his transportation or even a job when he gets there.

"We don't mean to Insinuate that there is any kick back going on In the state of Montana, but there certainly Is in other parts of the country, and the contractors are demanding that the worker pay back part of his wages to him or he loses his job. So everything is not as rosy as it appears In the article published in the papers, a few days ago. A. GRABENSTEIN, Pres. Carpenters' Local 112.

In one of a series of editorials the chamber advises that a committee of responsible citizens be set up for the purpose of studying the methods of reducing accidents in Butte.

The back page of the booklet depicts six scenes from highways in mountains near Butte.

Isele Mine Here Being Reopened By Utah Capital A Salt Lake City firm, headed by a nephew of Reed Smoot, former senator from Utah, is engaged in reopening the Iseto mine here.

The shaft Is being cleaned out, the work- ngs are being retimbered and hoisting machinery is being installed. The mine is located Just west of he Blue Bird gas plant, on the side of the Butte-Anaconda ilghway. The Isele, one of the most prom- sing silver mines in this district in he 80's, has been leased by tho Smoot interests from its owner, John i. Teniplemau. It is thought that with the aid the federal government is giving silver the mine may justify the sub- tantlal expenditure necessary to reopen mine.
