Those az" the plans brought back
from the 81 PAM organization meet

! pointed by The travelling men Of Mis-
soula to represent them in the ma
tional conference. Mr.. Risley returned
| to Missoula yesterday
| The ST Paul conference could not
accomplish much in the way Of def

| take decisive action. only tn" north

| lnasmuch as there ar" about 100000

the St. Paul meeting hardly had tn"
'authority to speak for all of them.
Organization Planned
"rhp conference was able however,
to name the proposed national organ
iZation and make plans for its rcaliZa :
ton. TO this end it delegated tenn
porary authority to the Grand Forks,
! North Dakota, men who initiated the
movement, and instructed them to car
ry out organization work.
The organization will be by states.
And | want to see Montana the first
state to announce its organization.
That is why | am asking the MisSoula
travelling men to meet again next sun
day. At that meeting We viii prepare
to make the Montana organization
work center here. Nothing strenuous
will be required, probably. BY send
ing letters to the various wholesale
houses we can enlist almost all the
travellers in the state. As soon as al
sections ar" represented we viii send
word to headquarters that Montana is
ready.
The importance of this movement Is
obvious as soon as one reflects thai
100. 900 mon are to be enlisted in it. ltt
function Will be to cooperate with the
secret service in whatever way th'
federal authorities WISH
