The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1919-01-10
Especial by the Butte Bulletin)

Helena, Jan. 8.-The capital CITY j.
now buzzing and the Anaconda Con,
per Mining Company, the company
| that is worth millions upon millions
OF dollars and is daily refusing re-
turned soldiers work at it's mines in
Butte, is very much in evidence.
In addition to members of the legis-
lature who are said to be pledged to
do any and everything the company
asks them to do, there are any num-
Der of the company's favorite gunmen
and radicals and anarchists who are
on the company payroll occupying
some of the vantage points at the
leading hotels.
The Butte Miners crew of cores
pondents is here, ready and willing to
send the lies and Misrepresentation
to the company press of Butte that
the A. C. M. desires that the people
shall read.
Two legislators stand out promin-
emily, w. F. Dunn, editor of the Butte
Daily Bulletin, the man whom Silver
Bow county elected by probably the
largest vote ever given any candi-
date in that county. Dunn is friend
of organized labor and organized
farmers-that fact is admitted by all
except the lying A. C M. press. He
is also man of strong personalit!
and forceful speech, and it is the
opinion of practically all that Dunn
is here to help along legislation that
is of the most benefit to the vast ma
jority-the people who made Mon
tana-the working people. The orga-
nized labor and organized farmers
are looking to Dunn to lead their
many contemplated battles on the
floor of the Sixteenth assembly in the
fight of the producers, the workers,
against the parasite, the A. c. M, is
evidenced here today.
Another man, a legislator whose
seat viii probably be contested fer
the reason that it is alleged that
there was illegal voting in Silver
Bow county, is Dan nj. Kelly, attor-
ney and lobbyist for the A. G. NJ.
Dan is the man who recently paid j
fine imposed on him by United
States federal court at San Francisco
of over 5000 for tampering with a
jury. He is supposed to be here TO
see that legislation desired by the a.
C. M. is "put over" and that desired
by the working people is put in the
waste basket.
Dan is only one of many who are
here for the sole purpose of trying TO
make the Sixteenth assembly as big
a farce as past assemblies have been.
The republicans are in control of the
house for the first time in years.
There is considerable feeling here
over the fact that the A. G. MI. paper,
he Butte Miner, is referring to the
attoreny general of the state of Mon
ana as an agitator because he has
,een given what is thought to be con-
.lusive proof that the election in Sill
yer Bow county of all the democratic
representatives with the exception Of
Dunn was a fraud.
A contest may be started today Or
omorrow which will send the nine
democrats alleged to be not entitled
O their seats back to private life in
he shadow of the sixth floor of the
Iennessy building at Butte.
The first news of the proposed con-
est reached Helena 10 days ago in a
Irst page story in the Butte Daily ]
but was suppressed by the
/. C. M. papers, they probably think
no that some way would be found to
top the contest. +
There is also considerable feeling ]
ere over w. F. Dunn being referred {
