LABOR MUST
DEFEND LABOR


While the rank and file of organized
LABOR is contributing time and money
10 the defense of w. z. Foster and
otner members of organized labor
crlmlnally arrested by federal author
tues in a raid at Bridgman, Mich,
IL is to be deplored that part of the
otficialdOm of the labor movement
loses no opportunity to put these
workers in the most unfavOrable light
possible.
1t is the right of every official and
every member of organized labor to
disagree with Foster and those who
believe as he does. 1t is also the
right of Foster and his followers to
disagree with every official and with
members of organized labor.
With logic lacking to answer the
arguments for amalgamation and in
dependent political action, no good
will is to be aroused for those who
differ with Foster and his ideas bv
attempting to make it appear that
Foster and his associates have never
done anything constructive for the
labor movement, and are a menace to
it.
Foster was years ago a member of
the l. w. w. He toured Europe in
working class fashion. He studied
the labor movements of that contin-
ent and returned to this country con-
/ WINGED that dual organizations like
the l. w. w. were a menace to the
welfare of the labor movement.
Acting as he believed he left the
! /. w. w. and became a staunch mem
Der of the American Federation OF
Labor. For while he was the prize
j boy with the A. F. of L. officialdom
He was asked to contribute and die
contribute articles to the Federation
list, official organ of the American
Federation of Labor.
Things went smoothly until it be-
came apparent that while Foster was
an opponent of dual unionism, he be-
lieved that there should be one uniOT
for each industry and that the A. F
of L. should work to bring about thi!
needed change in organization. The1
the ardor of Oficialdom for Foste,
commenced to cool.
That these unions in later year
were unable to meet the onslaught o
the employers was not the fault o
/ Foster but of those who insisted il
the disintegration of a council tina
had been formed to bring more unite
action among the packing house un
ions.
5 In the big organizing campaign i
the steel industry, it was Foster VIII
was intrusted with its leadership b
: the international union officials. Al
though the campaign did not succeed
f. it was the strongest move ever pu
S forth by unOrganized workers in
trustifed industry operating at man
4 points.
Had the money necessary to pU
t on the campaign at all points at ono
Y been forthcoming, as it was under
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1923-10-26

stood it would be from interested in
ternationals, victory would have been
achieved.
But forced, thru shortage OF funds,
to put on an intensive campaign at
one point, while little or nothing was
done at other points it proved hand
leap that could not be. overcome.
Men organized at one point would
become restless and demand action.
FINALLY this eliminated in premature
strike. Premature for the reason that
the money was lacking to send suf-
ficient organizers to all points where
steel was manufactured at the same
time.
AS the membership of the steel I'M
ions grew the amount designated for
the organization work increased.
And TODAY an organization campaign
is being conducted in the steel indus
try by the A. P. of L. with S7O,O00.00
left over from the campaign which
Foster managed.
available at the start OF the steel or
ganizing campaign led by Foster, it
is most probable that it would have
eliminated in complete success.
Foster and those who Delleve him
are often assailed for their friendli-
ness toward Soviet Russia It is
worthy of notice that conservative
United States senators return from
Russia with praise and cOmmenda-
ton for improving conditions IN Rus
STA.
1t also should not be passed without
consideration that one of the greatest
influence against dual unionism in
the United States has come from the
leaders of the soviets. Radicals who
could not be influenced by the con-
sewative A. F. of L. officials have
been influenced to stay in the A. F. OF
L. where they belong by the leaders
of the Russian movement
And in this fight against dual un-
ionism none has been more active
and loyal than Foster.
1t is the influence OF Foster to-
gether with the opposition to dual
: ism by Russian radicals, that as much
) and more than anything else is to bt
: credited with checking the headway
J of dualism in the United States.
!. Foster and those arrested with hin
$ at Michigan face pealties OF from ONT
4 to ten years in prison under the stOn'
r age syndicalist law of Michigan
They face that penalty not for any
s thing they were doing to promote
t their own selfish purpose but for wha
+ they conceived to be for the benefi
n of the workers of the entire nation.
t Hounded and harried by a govern
d ment and employers hostile to organ
: lied labor, it is astounding to see Ia
Dor officials joining the wolf pack tina
n would send Foster and the others t
o the dungeon.
y It is the right of every worker an
/ official to disagree with Foster, but
l, is also the duty of every worker an
It official to defend members of organ
a lied labor when prosecuted by thOs
y employers and that government thu
have attacked and assailed organize
1t labor at every opportunity.
r Try a Want AID, it brings results.

DECISION WEAKENS
SYNDICALISM LAW

Los Angeles. The decision of
Judge Frederick Houser of the appel
late court granting a new trial in the
case of Felix Thornton, is considered
by many legal authorities to be a
body-blow to the criminal snydicalism
law as at present interpreted. Several
times previously defendants have
been acquitted because the superior
court judged that mere membership
in the l. w. w. was not sufficient to
justify conviction; but this is the first
time this ruling has been made by an
appeal judge.
Thornton's case may be appealed by
the prosecution to the state supreme
court to obtain final test ruling.

STATE FARMERS FORM
EXPORT ASSOCIATION
Agricultural and Business Bodies OF
Montana to Promote Plans
For Moving Produce

Helena.-An organization to be
known as the Agricultural Export as
ISOLATION was formed here at a meet
Ing of representatives OF farm organ
izations of Montana with Chester C.
Davis, state commissioner of agricul-
ture. Officers and a board of direc.
tors were elected at the first meeting
at which the purpose of the organiza-
ton was also outlined.
The officers and directors are
Dwight Il. Cresap. of Lewistown,
president; II. S. Buell., of Bozeman,
chairman of the agricultural commit.
tee of the Montana State Bankers as
ISOLATION, vice president, and o. +.
Tate of Carter, president of the Mon
tana Retail Merchants association,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. These officers to-
gether with A. ii. Stafford Of BOze-
man, president of the state farm bur.
eau and J.. Hopper, Of Joliet, president
of the state farm union, constitute the
board of directors.
The purpose of the organization, it
is said, Is to adopt a concrete plan to
secure some action by congress and
the president to give the agricultural
interests what the proponents of the
meeting call the same degree or actual
protection as is now received by labor
and industry. The feasible way for
congress to act would be through an
export convention, is the idea of the
promoters of the plan, to move the
present surplus of farm products, the
cost to be b . he by the protected COM
modities.

$4,000 LOOT IS RECOVERED
Arrest May Solve Mystery Of Bank
Robberies In Montana, Canada,
and North Dakota

Havre, Mont.-Six men and two
Der OF United States, Canadian and
industrial bonds were recovered here
by local authorities, representatives OF
the w. j. Burns Detective agency and
officers from Gallatin n Madison
counties. Among the bonds found are
some alleged to have bee taken from
banks at Salesville and Ennis, Mon
tana, in recent robberies.
The arrests were the results Of ef-
forts of the Montana Bankers associa-
ton to solve the robberies of n num-
Der of Montana, Dakota and Canadian
banks which have been victims of
holdups in recent years.
Among those arrested are 'Billy'
Coffron, said to be a Canadian; Roy
Hanger, n railroad fireman of Havre
Ed. Marshall, former Havre saloon
keeper; Henry Loranger. former sher-
iff of Hill county; Florian Carnal
former member of the Montana legis-
lature, and once Chouteau county at.
tOrney; DOC" Walkup, who recently
returned here following operations in
the southern part of the state.
Between $1,000 and $1,000 was re-
covered by the arrest of alleged bank
robbers. The loot recovered is in the
form of bonds. Part of 1t was dug up
by Hank" Loringer, former sheriff Of
Hill county, and Ed Marshall, former
saloon keeper at Havre, after they had
been informed by the officers that the
evidence was sufficient to connect Lor-
niger and Marshall with the sale and
attempted sale of n large amount of
property taken from the bank which
was robbed at Salesville, near Boze-
man.
The two women under arrest are
known as "Rhea Davis" and Sew
May" Their true names are unknown
to the officers. The women and Billy
Coffron, Roy Hanger md DOC" Walk
up have refused to talk and are still
held In the Hill county Jail.
Ed Marshall and Loringer have told
of their part in the affair as has Flor
ian Carnal, n lawyer and former legis-
lator, who was released on his own
recognizance. Marshall and Loringer
are out on bail.
