TOBACCO TRUST
CRIMES HIDDEN
BY DAUCHERTY
Harry Allowed Trust
To Rob Farmers
az rhs Federatsd pressl

WASHINGTON, April 23.-With a
brief glimpse Of the tobacco trust
case, involving the robbing of tens Of
thousands of farmers by the manu-
facturers' concertedly staying out
of the market" Chairman Huston
Thompson Of the Federal Trade Com
mission has begun the disclosure of
former Attorney General Daugher-
TVS failure to prosecute criminal
cases turned over to his department
by the commission in the past three
years.
This testimony is the most impor-
tant, from the viewpoint of industrial
economies of any which the Brook
hart Wheeler committee has had to
consider.
Government Had the Evidence.
Thompson said that in the tobacco
and other important cases, where
criminal prosecutions we're asked by
the commission, no replies were
made by Daugherty for long periods
Of time. He instanced the tobacco
trust affair. The commission investi-
gated this at the request Of the
House in 1920, reporting to Daugher-
ty in August, 1921, the need for i'm
mediate criminal action by the De-
partment of Justice. Then the Senate
asked for further investigation, and
the Commission again reported, send
ing letters to Daugherty in February
and in April, 1922. Ten months elaps-
ed, and finally, when Rep. Keller had
offered an impeachment resolution,
including the charge that Daugherty
had failed to take up this tobacco
case, the Commission received an
answer from the attorney general.
Daugherty Passed Buck.
In that letter to the Commission,
Daugherty asked the Commission to
take the whole responsibility of pros
ecuting the tobacco crowd, when he
knew that only the department of
justice had power to effectively deal
with the crooks. In the conference
held by his office with the Federal
Trade Commission to discuss the is
sue, one of his two spokesman was
the same L'Esperance, assistant at
torney general, located in New York.

The company had refused to
heed the warnings of the fatal
break and the safety precau-
tons had been so disregarded
that escape was impossible fer
the men caught in the flood of
slime and water.
Bodies Still In Mine Grave.
Coles body was found under a mass
of fallen timber near the mouth of
the 135-foot level. Soon after, the body
of another miner named Graves was
found and identified by his son. Other
bodies remain to be found. Thirty
nine widows and nearly 100 fatherless
children are the net result Of the steel
trusts saving on safety.
The coroner decided that no inquest
was necessary. The mine is guarded
by the company and no visitors are
allowed to pass the gate. Photo
graphers are also barred. Even the
temporary morgue is not to be photo
graphed. An investigation is supposed
to be under way but this is muffled in
secrecy.
Murderous Death-Trap.
From the collar of the shaft to the
innermost workings the mine was a
murderous death-trap. There was only
one shaft and that shaft was danger
GUS because the laths were bullying out
under the pressure OF the wet sand.
The laths are two-inch planks placed
up and down behind 12x12 timbers
which are arranged about three feet
apart crosswise. These two-inch
planks three feet long bulged out
three inches. The ladder-road up the
main shaft was loose and tapping and
swung out so far when man was on
II that the fellow underneath couldn't
get a hold. The steps of the ladders
we're II inches apart and some OF
them were missing. There was no lad

part of the preliminary arrange

paraders are expected to be in
line when the parade starts
from Amalgamated headquar-
tiers at 1 p. m.
The decisions for the great Interna-
tional Labor Day celebration were
made at a meeting of the Joint Execu-
tive Board in the headquarters of the
Amalgamated at 476 North Clinton
avenue. National Organizer Aldo
Cursi presided.
From the very start it was evident
that all the active members who took
part in the meeting meant business.
Edith Christeson reported the ar
rangements up to the time of the
meeting, which included the securing
of Convention Hall and invitations ex-
tended to several economic and polit-
ical organizations in the city.
To encourage every member Of the
organization to take part in the great
demonstration, double personal cards
will be issued thru the shop chairmen
to every union member in advance.
This card will serve both for the pur-
pose of admitting our members to the
Convention Hall meeting in the aft
ernoon and to the concert and dance
which will take place in the evening
at the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers' headquarters.

SAYS EARLY SPAWNING
MEANS EARLY WINTER

The early spawning of trout this
season is an indication of early win
ter, according to w. e. Binko, who
was recently Missoula visitor from
his outing ranch in the Blackfoot val
ley. Mr.. Binko operates private
hatchery together with his other in
terests in the Blackfoot region.
He said that the Dolly Warden
trout had already started to go up
the smaller streams to spawn, that
they usually spawn earlier than the
native brook trout. The indications
are that the brook trout will start
spawning about the middle of Oc-
tober, he said.
Mr. Binko states that there are
conditions of water that give the
fish warning of climatic conditions,
and that when there is an early win
ter the trout always spawn earlier in
the season.

PEANUTS ENTER LIST OF
STAPLE FOODS; USE OF
PEANUT BUTTER GROWS

A generation ago peanuts were
looked upon as luxury, to be eaten
on circus day or fed to the elephant
and the monkeys, but had no place
in the daily diet of the nation. Today,
statistics show that the use of pea
nuts in the form of peanut butter has
reached a point where it may be con-
sidered as staple.
A large portion of the peanut but
ter consumed in Montana is manu-
featured in Seattle from nuts i'm
ported for this purpose, those being
selected which have just the right
proportion of OIL The nuts are
thoroughly roasted, shelled and the
brown inner skin and the germ re-
moved to prevent any bitter taste
and to keep the product from becom-
ing rancid, and then the nuts are
ground.
The peanut butter as it leaves the
grinding machine is put into con-
tainers and packed ready for ship
ment. The Rogers company which is
the largest manufacturer of this pro-
duct in the Pacific northwest, packs
all of its output in bright colored tin
containers, which are sealed so that
there is no chance for contamination
or deterioration. Their School Boy"
peanut butter is widely known
throughout Montana, and large ship
ments of it come into the state every
month.

During the fiscal year ending
June 80, IL high schools in Mon
tana conducted officially accredit-
ed Smith Hughes agricultural
courses and received federal re-
endorsement, according to the an

visor of agricultural education in
Montana. These IL high schools
complied with state and federal
regulations for conducting such
courses and the whole of the
expenses of carrying on such work
was paid by the federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Abbey reports that a number
of other high schools in the state
have applied for Smith-Hughes de-
partments under his supervision but
that lack OF funds will make it i'm
possible to extend the work for the
coming year.
There were All pupils enrolled in
the various courses in the Smith

schools. In many places unit courses
were held, in which special emphasis
was placed upon some single farm
such as dairying, cattle feed
ing, pure seed production, etc. There
were 81 of such courses held, at

That the female of the hobo
species is becoming more and more
prevalent along the great steel
highways, is the opinion of offic-
ers of the Northern Pacific at Liv-
ingston. Within a space of "a hours

that city gave evidence of having
passengers of the supposedly gem
tier sex occupying choice positions
where usually none but members of
the sterner sex may be found.
Perhaps the most suspicious evil
dence that a woman had been riding
a train was in hand when the night
officer found on the blind baggage
woman's vanity case in which was
concealed a quantity of homemade
fudge and dainty linen handker-
chief Neither the vanity case nor
the handkerchief provided marks that
might lead to the identity of the
owner.
The next call was for an officer to
go to the tunnel and board and search
an incoming freight train on which
it was suspected were two girls who
had escaped from the state vocation

the trip and his first proof that the
girls were or rather had been on the
train was when he saw them headed

Introduction of beans on large
scale on the Waller Project is ex-
pected to follow a recent investiga-
ton into results from that crop in
the Billings irrigated territory by
r.. w. Spier and u. G. Shue of
Waller. Mr.. Spier and MFR. Shue
each will plant 40 acres of beans
next year, basing their expecta-
lions of success on the similarity
of growing conditions in the Waller
and Billings districts.
Observations of the local men il
the Billings bean district were given
in the following interview after theil
return:
eve found that bean growing has
increased largely in the last few
years and, judging from the road OBJ
servation, the bean acreage seems to
be nearly as large as that devoted to
sugar beets. Beans are recognized
generally as clean up crop for foul
land Summer fallow is not prac-
ticed at all on the irrigated land. We
failed to see a single acre in summer
fallow, beans and sugar beets, gem
orally the former, being used as a
substitute. In addition to cleaning
up the land, the bean is legum-
nous plant and places nitrogen in
the soil, which sugar beets do not. 1t
was stated to US several times that
a grain crop after beans, other things
being equal, will yield more heavily
than on beet land.
1--WE called on Martin Curtis,
about eight miles west of Billings,
who had in 140 acres of Great Nor
thern beans and 40 acres of alfalfa.

FENDER SMASHED WHEN AUTO
COLLIDES WITH YOUNG DEER

Deer are becoming so plentiful
in the Warland-Libby district that
motorists are warned to take UNI
usual precaution to avoid running
over them. John Wotring of War
land and his son had a peculiar ex-
perience recently. The boy was
driving and it was quite dark,
when suddenly deer appeared in
the road directly in the path of the
car. A collision was unavoidable
and the deer was struck in such
manner that it was hurled against
one of the rear tenders, which was
badly smashed. The frightened
deer disappeared in the darkness
and it was not known whether or
not it was injured.

Milk River Wants Sugar Factory


The commercial club of Malta mas
been taking farm census with spec
ial reference to sugar beet produc-
ton, in an effort to bring a sugar
factory to the Milk River valley.
Already replies have been received
showing that 1900 acres would be
put into beets in 1925, and that at
least $500 acres could be put into
condition for that crop.
G. Wilson of the Great Western
Sugar company, has been in Malta
with I. D. O'Donnell of the Great
Northern railway, surveying the fieid
to making report TO the
sugar company, with reference to the
factory, which it is hoped
will be located in the valley for the
1925 season.
