Labor Secretary Declares Policy tt
Begin Sept. l. VIII Cause Strike
| Washington, July 2S.-Charges thai
directors of the principal railroad
systems of the country were only walt
ing for expiration of the present
agreement between the government
and railways on September to in,
augurate union-wreckIng policy BY
terrorist methods, were made yester-
dav by John Scott, secretary of the
National Association of Railway EN-
ployes.
Mr.. Scott declared that the con-
spiracy against railroad labor includ-
ed an attempt to deprive the men of
wage scales and working conditions
that had beer granted under govern
ment control, especially the eight hour
working day.
.'Of course such an attempt is en-
tirely illegal said Mr.. Scott, "but
what do the railroads care for that,
The result may be temporary break
down in all forms cf railway trans
portation."
When asked to explain this. state
ment. Mr., Scott replied: Il mean a
railway strike of national proper
tons"
'Of the 10000 men recently turned
adrift by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
5000 were shopmen and mechanics.
These mechanics were workers who
could least be spared. The result is
that every mechanic retained is now
obliged to work overtime in order to
keep rolling stock in even passable
condition. The railway men will never
give up the advantages they have
gained after hard struggle"

Ex- German Generalissimo FOrsees Eu-
ropes Crumble by Bolshevism's
Deadly Penetration

Washington, July 2S.-Victory fol
Soviet Russia over Poland would re-
suit in Bolshevism sweeping all of Eu-
rope and eventually the entire world
in the opinion of General Eric Luden-
dorff, famous German war leader. His
views are set forth in a specially pre-
pared and hitherto unpublished memo
randum on the Dangers of Bolshe-
vism,' written last month and received
here yesterday in official circles.
"Poland's fall will entail the fall Of
Germany ana Czecho-Slovakia." Gen
eral Ludendorff says. "Their neigh
bors to the north and south viii fol-
low. Fate steps along without ele-
mentary force. Let no one believe it
will ccme to a stand without envelop-
ing Italy, France and England in its
hideous coils. Not even the seven seas
can step it."
Addressing himself TO the "civilized
nations as a man who knows war"
General Ludendorff pleads that his
message not fall on deaf ears.
"Then i will be too late he de-
clares. ''and the present civilization
will crumble as did that of Greece and
Rome.

| Last week, due to the absence from
the state of Governor Sam V. Stew
art and Lieutenant Governor w. w.
| Mcdowell, Montana had republican
governor at the helm. 1t was State
Senator Charles H. Williams of Deer
Lodge, who was president of the sem
ate during the sessions of the last
legislative assembly.
Acting Governor Williams perform
ed only one executive act of import
ance during his few days tenure Of
| the executive chair. He par6oned
three Billings youths, one OF whom
had been sentenced to serve from one
to three years in the state peniten-
tiary; and two others who had been
committed to the state reform school
at Miles City. The boy who escapes
a penitentiary sentence Is Chris Ye-
gen, Jr., convicted of burglary. The
other two youths are Lyman Ross and
Albert Klemmer, also of Billings.
Governor Stewart had granted Yegen
two reprieves, but finally declined to
interfere with the judgment of the
district court.
Acting Governor Williams reason
for granting the pardons, he said,
was that the boys are very young and
that, in his opinion, they have, by
reason of their confinement for four
months, been sufficiently punished
for the offense committed. In the
case of Yegen, Governor Williams
was assured by the boys parents that
they would do all in their power to
make a useful citizen of him.

The matter of buying coal In tn
summer when the railroads have tn
cars available is proposition NOR
serious than the public realizes, &C
cording to group of Great Northern
officials who were in Helena Tuesda.
In conference with the state railroad
commission relative to further plan
for conserving rail traffic facilities
In the party we're w. R. Smith, gen
eral superintendent, Great Falls
Fred Wear, superintendent of the
Butte division, Great Falls; James
Robinson, assistant general freight
agent, st. Paul, and A. L. Bergfeld
general superintendent of transpor.
tation, st. Paul.
The railroads operating in Mon
. tana have plenty of cars at present
say the officials, and can deliver coal
as soon as tits mined. Attention is
being given by shippers to the ad-
monitor of, the roads torelease cars
as son as possible, for the Great
Northern has been maintaining an
average of 80 miles day for freight
cars.
1t is pointed out that those who do
not buy coal early are liable to run
into a series of severe circumstances.
First, there is danger of another coal
shortage in the winter. This year
there is no coal at the Great Lake
docks, where in the past millions of
tons have been stored, and plans are
on foot that indicate that instead CT
Pennsylvania sending coal to the
Great Lake docks this year the west
ern fields will be doing it.
No Coal at Lakes
In this connection Daniel Boyle,
chairman of the railroad commission,
reports that tariffs have been applied
for on Montana coal for Dakota and
Minnesota points.
Consequently in a pinch, the situa-
ton will be the reverse of what it
was Montana will have to help the
east instead of the east helping Mon
tana, as was the case during the coal
miners strike last winter.
Two other factors that should in
duce householders is freight rates
and the probability that the miners
will receive higher wages before long
the Great Northern officials declare. |
eff the miners are kept at work |
during the summer by good demand |
for coal there is less danger of labor
said Mr.. Smith, "for it has
been seen that the coal miners con-
tend that high wages are particularly
necessary in their case because they
are employed only part time"
Give Drylands Jobs
The Great Northern is placing
large orders with commercial coal |
mines this summer to keep up the de-
mand and is leaving its own mines
untouched now, it is re-
ported. At Belt Mr.. Wear has given
on general maintenance I
work on the railroad to 40 miners,
Who work three days a week in the
mines and three days for the Great
Northern. "
On the high line in northern Mon t
ana the road is employing hundreds
# dry land farmers, who having put |
n their wheat and other crops are '
rec to take other work till harvest s
ime. The railroad is glad to get
heir services on maintenance work. |

Prohibition Ticket
Hinges ON Attitude
OF Major Parties
Unless Republicans and
Democrats Declare for En-
forcement of Liquor Law
'Drys'May Campaign

CHICAGO, March 25.--Whether the
Prohibition party will nominate a can
didate for the Presidency and take an
active part in the coming Presidential
campaign depends upon the attitude
Of the major parties toward the strict
enforcement Of prohibition, says Virgil
G. Hinshaw, of this city, chairman Of
the party.
There has been considerable specula-
tion among political observers as to
whether the Prohibition party would
or would not continue it's political ac-
tivity, now that prohibition has be-
come constitutional enactment
Questions have been asked whether
the Prohibition party leaders would
feel that the partys object had been
attained and the time at hand when
prclibitionists might return to or be-
come affiliated with one or the other
of the major parties.
Chairman Hinshaw believes the bat
tie is not over; that the fight for en-
forcement of prohibition is still to be
won.
"Our organization" he declares
will continue as long as the alcoholic
serpent continues to wiggle its tail"
Concerning the party's attitude in the
Presidential campaign, Mr.. Hinshaw
said its policies to be enunciated in
its, national convention at Lincoln
Neb., July 12, would depend entirely
upon the action taken at the convcn-
tions OF the major parties.
"1f the major parties fail to come
out unequivocally for strict enforce
ment of existing dry laws we will cer-
tainly run prohibition candidate for
President" said Mr.. Hinshaw.
"Of course, it is up to the conven-
tion whether we will or will not run
one anyway. But if the major parties
fail to enforce not only the Eighteenth
Amendment, but existing prohibition
laws as WE'LL I believe there will be
Ereakups that will bring many Of their
voters and their big men to our side"
AS to the party's probable action
concerning lesser candidates, it is
said that it twill seek the election of
representatives in Congress, Governors,
members of legislatures and others
who are charged with the enforcement
OF the dry law"
Ernest H. Cherrington, Of Wester-
Vile, Ohio, declared that the Anti
Saloon League, of which he is secre-
tary, will work to defeat candidates
who are avowedly opposed to prohibi-
tion enforcement.
