Northern District Will
Make Corn Show Success
Cooperation Begins Greatest Exhibit of Montana Corn
Yet Seen Under One Roof - Local Boosters, Counties
Achievement Shall Be Neglected-Dates Not Yet Fixed
Committee Organizes

Third Annual Northern Montana
Corn Show-greatest event of the
kind ever seen. Nothing short of re-
alization of this aspiration will sat
isfy the forces back of this enter
prise. No finer inspiration could
have been received by Wolf Point
business men, right at the beginning
of the campaign, than was furnish
ed by the talk given by Senator
James Griffin last Friday evening.
A large number of local people of
both town and country gathered at
the Sherman hotel to listen to Mr..
Griffin. A special request had been
made that he talk on the history of
the first and second Montana Corn
Shows held at Malta and Chinook
and also on other subjects. Mr..
Griffin is sincere believer in the
value of corn to the success of Mon
tana agriculture. He told of the in
ception of the idea of corn exhib-
it in the northern counties and how,
through genuine cooperation, the
plan worked out to a large success.
The 1928 show at Chinook was the
greatest exhibit of corn ever got
ten together any place in the north
west, but Mr.. Griffin said that Wolf
Point should aim at nothing less
than an exhibit that would equal
Chinook's. There were over 10000
ears last year, and this year, he said,
we should aim at $4,000.
All Counties Contribute
Each county in the district is ex-
pected to appropriate sum toward
the financial support of the north
ern show and Mr.. Griffin says that
already his home county of Blaine
had made provisions through action
of the county board, for its quota.
Committee Meets
Tuesday afternoon the general
corn show committee, named by the
directors of the Commercial club,
held it's first meeting to effect a
partial organization. The members
of the committee are Messrs. Peg
low, Listug, Rathert, Huxsol and
Marshall. The work to be done by
this committee was surveyed and 1t
was decided that before permanent
was effected it would
be necessary to confer with Dan
Noble, Roosevelt county agent, who
IS secretary of the 1924 show. Mr..
Noble is absent on a vacation and is |
not expected home before July 1st.
Temporary organization was eff
'ected by the election of c. L.

mighty dollar or the pursuit of the
policy Of human consideration of
the obligations which righteously
attach to the government in the dis
charge of its duty toward the veter-
ans" The veto on the pension bill
stated that the main objection els
the unwarranted expenditure of the
taxpayers money. 1t proposes to
add more than 25 per cent to the
cost of the pension rolls. The desire
to do justice to the pensioners, how
ever great their merit, must be at
attended by some solicitude to do
justice to the taxpayers.
The presidential disapproval of
the adjusted compensation measure
was attacked by Representative Ran
kin, Democrat, of Mississippi who
stated that the veto measure "goes
out of its way to offer gratuitous in
suit to the ex-service men," The
President declared that his veto was
inspired by the belief that, 1--WE must
either abandon our theory of patroit-
ism or abandon this bill. Patriotism
which is bought and paid for is not
patriotism. Our country cannot af-
ford 1T. The veterans as a whole do
not want it. All our American prin-
,iples are opposed to it. There is no
moral Justification for it."

BUDD BRINGS EAST
TO WEST FOR TRUTH
20 NEWSPAPER MEN AS GUESTS
OF GREAT NORTHERN TO
TOUR NORTHWEST

st. Paul, May 20.-With the idea
of correcting some false impress
ions that have been given the east
concerning the agricultural, indus
trial and economic conditions of the
Northwest, President Ralph Budd, Of
the Great Northern Railway, has ar
ranged to conduct a party of about
twenty representative eastern news
paper men on a nine day trip from
Chicago to Sattle. They will OBJ
tain first-hand information from the
civic bodies and other sources of off
icial information over the entire
system of thhe Hill railway.
The party will leave Chicago June
/ aboard the first of the newly built
trains that will be put into service
all-steel de luxe Oriental Limited
between Chicago and the Pacific
Northwest on that date. Represent
atives of the civic organizations OF
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,
Washington and Oregon will be ex-
pected to meet the newspaper men
in the cities through which the new
transcontinental train passes on It's
journey to the coast.
In view of the fact that errone-
Gus reports recently have been circu-
lated as to Northwestern conditions,
President Budd says he is eager that
the viewpoint of the Northwestern
states may be communicated person
ally to the newspaper representa-
ives and that consequently he hopes
arrangements will be made in the
cities en- route from Chicago to Sc
attic to have prominent citizens meet
the party.

was done with the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars that has been spent
since Perlstein came to Chicago. Sam
is not accusing anybody of spending
the money wrongly, but like many
other members of the union, he wants
to know how the unions money was
spent
This, of course, cannot be tolerated
by Perlstein. He is running the union.
He knows the money was spent. And
such men as Sam must be taught to
keep their place. All the members
have got to do in the /. L. G. w. U. is
to pay their dues and assessments and
obey orders. The members have the
privilege of paying, Perlstein the priv
ilege of spending. When Perlstein
came to Chicago, the Joint Board had
in its treasury well over 100000. The
international union sent money in for
organizing and strike purposes, out
side unions donated tens OF thousands
of dollars, dues and assessments have
been collected, but no accounting has
been made. No one knows except
Perlstein and his intimate associates
the real income and expenditure.

1t is now crime in the l. L. G. W.
U. to ask for a financial statement
In fact it is now crime in the l. L. G
w. u. If you advocate unionism, ex.
cept it is the Perlstein brand of sur
render. The left-wing leaders have
been expelled or disfranchised, but
the T. U. e. l.. has by no means given
up the fight. The rank and file are 60
ing to be treated to another reign OF
terror. The election for business
agents is drawing near, and Perlstein
has proven by his past actions that
nothing is too low, mean, or rotten for
him to do in order to keep himself in
power.
The It. U. e. L. urges the members
Of the /. L. G. W. U. not only to de-
mand an accounting of the hundreds
of thousands Of dollars that have
passed thru Perlstein and his associ-
ates' hands, but they must not allow
Perlstein to get away with the fake
strike that he called merely to cover
up his own inefficiency and delin-
quency. Perlstein must go. The longer
he is at the head of the union, the
weaker 1t becomes. He prefers to have
ex-scabs as his subordinates rather
than those who have fought to build
the union. He can only remain an Of
fetal as long as the membership al.
lows him to. The membership must
revolt against scab officialdom, turn
them out of Office, and put in their
place revolutionary leaders.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE increas-

shown to be statewide by the latest
report of the State Employment Ser
vice, Deparement of Labor, which
states that "part-time employment in
manufacturing plants is quite gener-
al" In New York City there has
been gradual laying off of workers
in the Woodworking trades, foun-
dries and machine shops, woodwork
ing plants, furniture and piano fac
tories, and to lesser degree in the
ship-building and repairs, paper and
printing, machinery and shoe indus
tries"
In Buffalo Operations in the steel
industry are at low ebb, and employ
ment has reached the lowest mark of
the year. Other industries adverse
ly affected are branches Of tie metal
trades, foundries, machine shops and
fabricRting plants" In Rochester, "a
labor surplus is evident in practical
ly all lines. -. Plants manufac-
turing optical goods and shoe. and
clothing industries are running part
time with reduced forces" In SYRIA
cuse, there is surplus OF labor and
several manufacturing plants, are
operating on five-day per week
basis. Forty-eight of the largest con-
Germs usually employing $4,000 work

YOUNG WORKERS
LAUNCH FIGHT
ON BISCUIT CO.
Will Expose Conditions
in National Company
BY BARNEY MASS

Members OF the Young Workers
League were on the Job last night dis
tributing leaflets announcing the
coming exposure in the Young Worker,
of the National Biscuit Company, to-
the youthful wage-earners employed
there. More than 1900 dodgers were
given out and every worker received
one.
This campaign against the National
Biscuit Company which is being
started by the Chicago organization,
will develope into national campaign
with the next number Of the Young
Worker. A few cops were at hand who
endeavored to drive away the league
members engaged in this work They
found however, it was of no avail, as
the young militants refused to be in
undated. The local organization is
preparing to make this the biggest job
yet undertaken, and promises great
results.
Biscuits Make Educators
Some Of the directors of the
National Biscuit Company are
not only confined to financial
enterprises in industry, but we
see them sitting as trustees of the Co
lumbia University and the Union Theo-
logical Seminary. The head of the
Columbia University is none other
than that blacklist Of black reaction
aries, Nicholas Murray Butler. Jack
son e. Reynolds, director of the Ma
tional Biscuits and one of the trustees
of the Butler institution contributes
his share in turning out Goose-step-
pers. Mr.. Reynolds is able to become
interested in the educational facilities
Of this country, thru the profits wrung
out of the labors Of the sweated, stunt
ed, frail bodies in his employ.
Then we find Francis l.. Hine, direct
ing the religious destinies of the Amer
lean people thru his trusteeship Of the
Union Theological Seminary. His re-
ligion smacks of human suffering
mingled with the Indebtedness of the,
girls and boys making biscuits. This
mercenary believes religion should be
confined to the rich, because in all the
plants of the National Biscuits Com
pany, God is damned and production
increased. Such hypocritical gestures;
worshipping and killing. In the name
Of religion, the capitalist class is des-
troying the youth.
On To The Fight
The Young Workers League with its
demands on industry for the youth is
preaching the only religion worth any
thing and in which 1naAy young people
are becoming interested. The member
ship is growing, the message is being
gotten over to all the factories employ
ing children and victory is inevitable.
Down with overtime; Down with piece
work and the speedup system, to hell
with the capitalist class and the suf-
fering which it brings onward in the
struggle with YWL in its effort to
raise the standard of a new society
where the youth will get it all.

DUBLIN, July 16.--The freedom Of
Eamonn DeValera, Austin Stack and
other Irish political prisoners was as
sured today when President Cosgrave
Of the Irish Free State signed a war
rant for the release Of all such polit-
ical prisoners.
The date OF the effect Of the general
amnesty probably will be this week

Republican supporters of Devalera,
however have already complicated
the situation by demanding that their
leader be freed in time to open the
Tailtean games-an honor which they
demand should go to him instead of to
Cosgrave.
DeValera has been in prison since
last August. Stack was imprisoned in

Broadly speaking, Of course, one has
the right to work for whom he will;
to cease work when he wishes, and
to be answerable to no one unless he
has been guilty of breach Of con-
tract. But the cessation of work may
be an affirmative step in an unlaw.
