A PROCESSION OF $1,000 BILLS

1.-The available power OF the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota now 60
ing to waste" said W. f. Lyman Of
Lawrence county, speaking at the XII
wants club luncheon this noon, "eq-
uals the annual consumption Of two
million tons Of coal"
IF there were a continuous pro-
cession of one thousand dollar bills
floating down the river, one every
forty-five minutes, there would be
great excitement in the state and
something would be done to stop at
least a few Of them. Yet that is the
value Of the power now going to
waste. There is no valid reason why
the people of South Dakota should
not put the Missouri river to work"
Mr.. Lyman is touring the state
speaking in behalf of Initiated law
No. /, to be voted on at the Novemb-
er election. which build a hydro-elec-
trio plant on the Missouri river near
Mobridge and provide practically the
entire state with electric current at
cost.
DR.. b. b. Bracket, head of the de-
partment of engineering at State col
lege, addressed the Club on the fasci-
mating subject, Radio" He ex-
planned some of the more recent de-
velopments in the science of wireless
telephony which proved very interest

Harry A. Wheeler, former presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States and another memb-
er of the Employers Group in the
First Industrial Conference, said:
I'VE freely accord the place Of the
trade and labor unions in those or
CARNATIONS which the men have the
right to join"
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, in it's referendum No.
q, on a report on principles Of in
dustrial relations, declared: THE
right of workers to organize is as
clearly recognized as hat of any
other element or part of the commu-
nifty"
The labor provisions. of the Peace
Treaty affirm 1.-The right of associa-
ton for all lawful. purposes by the
employed as well as by the employer"
Twenty-siX states have enacted
laws specially legalizing trade unions
and prohibiting discharge on ground
Of membership therein. They are
Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Caro-
lima, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wash
ingtSn, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In the principles and policies of the
War Labor Board, the right to organ
ize was enunciated in detail. This
declaration, worked out in conference
between representatives of employers
and employees, and given the force Of
law for the war emergency by Presi-
Dental proclamation, was as follows:
The right of workers to organize in
trade unions and to bargain collec-
is recognized and affirmed. This right
shall not be denied, abridged or in
terfered with by the employers in any
ann whatsoever"
> And yet we find coal operators in
West Virginia, Alabama and other
states brutally denying to their EN-
ployes the right to organize or to join
the United Mine Workers of America.
Not only do they oppose the exercise
of this right, but they maintain huge
armies or armed gunner and thugs
whom they urn loose to roam the
hills and mountain sides with a row
ing commission to assault and MUIR
der, if necessary, those employees who
dare to encourage organization. Hun
dreds of coal miners have been beaten
or killed by these lawless gunner in
the employ of union-busting coal
companies. Scores of union organic
ers have been assaulted, beaten up,
driven out Or killed in order to pre-
vent the union from obtaining a foot
hold in these non-union fields. These
coal companies place themselves
above the law, above Government,
courts, pulpit, press and the whole
some force Of public opinion. They
would destroy the, union and reduce
their employees to a still lower stand
dard of living. What is the great
American public going to do about it?
