Inv named has endeavOred to force
Jsrrading condition Of labor on its
mon employees. With diabOlical
iroe8uity it has continued with Ia
~ leaders. the subversive work it
.,.rted with Commission of Agricul-
,r-s Bowman. to break down the
.lsBdard Of living established by la
III for women workers in Montana.
The sDecious plea has been made
that this is a Montana industry and
bererore should be allowed to pay
lsss than the union wages. If an
industry cannot pay the daughters
IF this state sufficient wages to en-
able them to live decently then it
should not exist here. If the KluX-
gs. who live close to the Cannery,
believed in their prOfessed intention
Of preserving pure wOmanhOOd" in
Bozeman. they would do more than
lighting a few crosses outside the
Seab factory. The Progressive
Farmers should aid labor in the boy
colt Of this unfair concern as well
as help in bringing pressure on state
officials, charged with the enforce
ment Of laws for the protection of
women workers, to do their duty.
Mr.. MANSON was relieved of his
position as secretary Of the Fedora
ton By a record vote. Mr.. Manson
is the editor of the "Searchlight"
which published so many articles
which have been reproduced with
such evident relish by Joe DOlin. Joe
has endeav0red to give the impress
sion that the voice Of Manson was
the voice Of labor but evidently the
delegates to the convention did not
seem to agree with the man from
Medicine Lake. Mr.. Manson is now
separated from his salary and ex-
pense account, which gave him an
opportunity to travel around the
stale ext0lling the virtues of our
junior seaat0r. In doing so he neg
ecied the duties he owed to the
workers. The Union men want Of
lcaIs who devote their time to the
building up Of Labor in the state.

mat IS the secret Of the removal of

are sorry for the predicament he
now finds himself in and predict
,.aI the man for whom he wore
himself out in the labor movement
siH give him the cold shoulder as

climbed INTO power, in the past.
