State Cabinet
Meeting
Arrangements Made to Enlarge the
News and Enter on More Active
Year Finances Good

job work, and the more Of this we can
do the more profit we can make. A
card fling case for the office is also
an indispensable necessity.
The matter of speakers was taken
up and n reference made to the crit
icism, because no speakers had been
routed in Montana this summer. Com
rade Graham said there were no speak
ers to be obtained from the National
office; that there was no national fund
for speakers, that all the money was
going into the Appeal. $4,000 went
into the teachers fund, to educate
teachers to be socialists, when, under
capitalist political domination it is
impossible for them TO teach the So
ialist principles in the schools. The
first point should be the building up
of national o; ,anization that would
enable the work. 2 class to get control
of the schools, and then they will put
socialist teachers in the schools.
There was a long discussion on ways
and means and the advisability of pur-
chasing more machinery.
1t was decided to make another
great attempt to raise large and suf.
hcient sum to equip the office with.
1t was discovered that about $3.50 in
reliable pledges is already available
and the Cabinet decided TO write the
parties already pledged for their dona-
tions. Comrade Mabie offered his ser
vices to go personally over the state
and raise a fund of several thousand
dollars to get what the News plant
needs, and was thereupon appointed
TO do that work.
The motion was passed and the sec.
cretary instructed to order a l2xIs
Gordon job press and linotype. also a
card fling ease.
A motion was carried to place Mabis
under $1,000 bond while raising the
money.
The ease of Mrs. Hazlett's perseeu.
tion by the Spokane police was fully
discussed and a motion passed to re-
quest the Washington State Committee
to assist Comrade Hazlctt in her fight
against the local authorities of Spo-
kane, as Local Spokane had refused
TO further prosecute the case.
A letter was read from Comrade
Horne suggesting that an attempt be
made by the secretary to facilitate the
exchange of local speakers between
locals as means of developing the
state membership of the party, so they
can do their own work and not be en-
tirely dependent on outside persons,
aud it was decided to work on lines
suggested.
IL was also voted that the state sec.
retary assist Comrade Buzzell to make
dates whenever he felt he could do so,
The motion was carried that J. B.
Osborne be not endorsed as a national
worker for the western district.
Since Mrs. Hazlett is liable TO be
absent most of the winter reporting
The Federation trials for the socialist
press, and also attending to her own
trial and raising money for the same,
Comrnde Mabie was appointed assoc.
late editor on the News.
The spirit manifested in the Cabinet
meeting seemed good. There seemed
to be a general recognition of the
hard work done by the officials Of the
Montana Socialist Party and a desire
to assist and forward that work as
much as possible.

Sunday, Oct. 6, in the office of the
Montana News. Comrades Wesleder,
Mabie and Ambrose being present, and
Horne and Rooney being absent. Com
rades Wieglenda Of Fergus county and
Selby of Great Falls were also present
during the meeting.
Comrade Ambrose was chosen chair
man.
The first order of business was the
report of James ID. Graham as State
Secretary of the Socialist Party and
business manager of the Montana
News.
He reviewed the general standing
and work of the Montana News for
the past year, and that of the Montana
party. He spoke of the general com
plant becuase of the lack of reports
being put out; said he was promised
a typewriter a year ago with which
the work could be done, but it had
never been forthcoming, and the pres
sure of work was such that he could
not get them out by hand. But now
that Local Butte had furnished the
typewriter a girl would be put on
and regular reports furnished. He
stated that it is poor policy to publish
the financial reports in the News. As
a political party of course we are al.
ways hanging on the ragged edge of
despair, and a statement of our scanty
resources Injuries us with the commere-
ial firms with which we are obliged
TO do business.
Business accounts for the party are
run in two banks, a Helena bank and
Livingston bank. The total amount
of business done in the past fiscal
year amounted TO $1,000, with business
steadily on the increase during the
last months. September receipts were
800 and October receipts at the rate
already received will be over $500
Donations the past year were $3.50

Temples
of Injustice
Union Man Found '.'. a:;sa.ss St f.c.o9 Contempt
by Capitalist Judge Soaked
For Aiding Strike

An incident of the Helena telephone
strike which shows the absolute slav-
ish subscfvience Of capitalist courts,
judges and governments instituted by
the dominant economic powers, is the
unwarranted and outrageous persecu-
tion that the Bell Telephone company
aided by the district court, has heap
ed upon the head of a union man
here.
This union man is not a red-eyed
socialist or a red shirt anarchist, but
he has come in contact with the white
shirt anarchist, and he has got the
worst of it. He is respectable re-
publican, and an alderman in Helena
for the first ward. He has thought
heretofore that he lived amid the
blessings of free institutions, and that
governments were established to deal
out the dope of justice. To-day he is
wondering what struck him.
The young man in question is Fred
Schwartz, secretary of the Bartenders'
union. He has been exceedingly ag-
gressive in carrying on the boycott
against the telephone companies A
few days ago while in the Mint sa-
loon, he and the bartender were dis
cussing the suspension of the phones
by the business houses, when the
latter, John Wick, Jr., the proprietor s
son and in charge of the saloon, got
him a pair of pliers and he unloosened
the screw connecting the phone wires.
The matter came to the attention of
lawyer Mcintyre, the attorney for the
Telepohne company, who had Schwartz
arrested on the charge Of contempt
of court, in that he had violated the
mandamus issued by Judge Bach, com
pelling the telephone company to give
service to its customers.
Schwartz was summoned to appear
before this same Judge Bach. The
corporation attorney claimed that he
had interfered with its property,
Schwartz denied the charge and said
he had a right to disconneet the phone
at the request of the proprietor OF
his representative; he did not remove
it or touch the wires. only unfastened
the screw at the request of the bar
tender.
But all this evidence fell on deaf
ears when it came before Judge Bach.
He had issued that mandamus and hs
was going to see it operate, so he
found Schwartz guilty of contempt
of court, and imposed a Jail sentence
of five days and a $500 fine, which was
suspended during good behavior.
The rank injustice of the sentence
rests in the fact that no jury trial is
allowed, that Schwartz can be arrested
on any pretense at the will OF the
Judge, that he is practically debarred
from fulfilling his functions as see
retary of his union and forwarding
the interests of the strike, and that
the sentence hangs over him for 20
years, or as long as this judge is on
the bench.
Another rank feature of the case
Is that there is a political feature be
hind it-nice, clean, capitalist poll
tics. Judge Bach is democrat while
Schwartz is a republican. At the last
city election the democratic nominet
In the first ward contested Schwartz

for the Montana Record refused to
set up the news handled by seab oper-

course the unions have Senator Tom

Nearly fifty thousand boilermakers
and iron ship builders were locked out
in the British Isles last week The
men affected are employed in the
shipyards at Barrow and on the Clyde.
The reason for the lockout is owing
TO the boilermakers being very aggres.
sive in carrying on a number of strikes
and in order that funds can be drawn
out of the union treasury rapidly and
the boilermakers furnished for sup.
porting strikes, the employing class
thought a general lockout would do
the deed.
With the prospective strike of the
members Of the Amalgamated Society
of Railway ,servantA which unless
something arises to prevent, will be
the most serious ever known in Great
Britain, the labor situation in this
country is rapidly becoming critical
Organized labor is gaining by leaps
and bounds and is rapidly becoming
permeatej with socialism. The recent
bye elections have shown great gains
in the strength of the socialists, and
the fond hope that English workmer
would never be susceptible to the so
eialistic arguments that appeal to theii
continental fellows is likely to bt
blasted.

many different kinds Of patterns could

remarkable facility when the instru-

: CUTlCURA REV EDIES A
HOUSEHOL D STANDBY f'''

m FIs
Last year, after having my little
\ girl treated by very prominent physi-E
clan for an obstinate case of eczema.
resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was SO well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that, We
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills,
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were.
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence Of.
the trouble.
In July Of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four-
hours his hands and arms were mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Omit
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up. So we have
! lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

scott.s Worst Hour.

It is not the foolish and ignorant who
are prey to the most unreasoning fears.
Scott, who had grand moral courage
and seems ordinarily not to have lack
ed physical courage, has left it on rec
ord that the moment of greatest terror
in his life was that he spent while
walking back through the fields after
passing day with Joanna Baillie at
Hampstead. He met a rough looking
man, a disreputable figure Of the real
jail bird. Scott hurried past him Iii
alarm and was further Disconnected
when he saw, by turning his head, that
the man had crept through d gar,
to the other side Of the hedge Scott
climbed through another gap, so that
he was able to see the fellow cropping
at the bottom Of the hedge. 1t was a
stone or cudgel that the ruffian was
seeking, so that he might do murder,
the novelist thought. And in that mo-
ment he experienced an agony Of fear
such as never before or afterward pos
sessed him. The purpose Of the man
was quite innocent; he was merely
picking up bundle. Scott yaulted d
stiie with such tltankfulnes to escape
that he was unconscious at the time
that III grasping the wood he drove
home a splinter three-quarters OF an
inch long between the flesh and the
nail Of one of his fingers. ST. James
