SODBUSTER'S EDITION

Owing to press of work in the
mechanical department of the Pro-

will be delayed to somewhere about
the first week in October, the exact
date will be announced later. Most
OF the writing and compilation has
been completed and are in type and
several hundred dollars worth of rare
cuts have been made from careful Sc
lections from the numerous pictures
submitted, yet there remains consid-
cradle work to be done before this
edition is completed, work that re-
quires time, but which is we'll worth
doing we'll Another reason for the
delay is that as the publication has
been held back as long as it has, a
number of business men and farmers
closely associated with the creation of
the edition believe that it would be
well to get some of the pictures and
data of this years crop and because
of the increased interest shown in the
matter by the general public it is
thought best to make the delay.

it is believed that it will more than
come up to the expectations of those
whose support has made the undertake

Ely's Speech
Two things were handled bv the
convention of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor of great importance
one was the Bozeman Canning 90
controversy and the other combining
the office of Secretary-treasurer with
Ely. -''iO'eii'
Here the president read his report
before the state convention at Helene
held during the latter part of lime
wherein ne exposed the BETRAYAL of
the girls working in the cannerv and
seed houses at Bozeman by Sam Mit-
cehll of the Butte clerks union. aided
ana abetted by Ed. Manson, secretary
oil the State Federation of Labor. in
a secret underground way, contrary
TO the mandates of the Bozeman CON
Ventlon, in which the cannerv how
cott was lifted In behalf of the can
neIles to the injury of the Gamers
union. This is a story of blazen inn
pudence and userpation of authority
That seems increditable.
PRESIDENT Ely in reference to the
matter said:
Manson Works in the Dark
Mr.. Manson, without conenl+ino
me, IN order to whitewash Mr.. Nit
chell, submitted Mitchell's report to
the clerks union to the members of
Cne Executive Board of the federation
asking them whether the boycott is
nfted. This was a violation of the
action of the Bozeman convention
Mr.. Manson is custodian of the rec
ords OF the convention and he knew
OF the position of the convention on
the cannery dispute. When he sub
united the matter to the board with
out my knowledge he was working in
tne dark to cover the betrayal of his
pal Mitchell and help the bosses to
Keep the women and girls in slavery.
Mr.. Manson betrayed the workers in
the interests of the bosses. The del
egates recognized that at the conyen-
tlon. Some are thinking that Nit
cheH and Manson had been paid for
this betrayal. l would say that if
tihey have not, they should have
been.".
Convention Criticized Traitors
The Helena Convention severely
criticized this duplicity of Manson and
Mitchell.
After Ely had disposed of the can
merry matter he paid his compliments
to the Kassinger scandal as follows:
The Kessinger's Scandal
1t was common knowledge that
the editor of the Livingston Enter
prise and one by the name of Kess-
niger conceived an advertising scheme
whereby the labor organizations and
the merchants could be brought to-
gether by chloroforming the workers.

The DUPONT company also
owns 1,906,244 shares of Gener-
al Motors common stock, which
is carried on the books this year
at $50 share, against $46.88 a share
last year, although the stock sold on
the New York Stock exchange today
as high as 229A.
To Succeed Gary
1t has been stated that Pierre du-
Pont, now in Europe, would be elect
ed director of the United States
Steel corporation and eventually
would succeed Ebert H. Gary, as
chairman.
No change in directors was an
nounced, however, at yesterdays
meeting of steel directors. Neither
was there any change made in Gen
eral Motors directors, although there
were rumors that Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
would be elected to the Craftsmanship
of the board and succeed Walter P.
Chrysler, whose company would be
taken into the General Motors corpor-
alton.

president of the Massachusetts, State
Federation of Labor, was last-min-
ute witness before Gov. Fuller in his
investigation of the Sacco-Vanzetti
case, Van Vaerrenwyck has always
believed the two Italian workers mo
cent. He helped secure an affidavit
from Lola Andrews, state star wit
ness, that she lied in identifying Sacco
at the trial.
Van Vaerenwyck was questioned by
the governor on the prosecutions
claims that the defense intimidated
Mrs. Andrews. The federation head
believes he persuaded Fuller that no
unfair methods were used in securing
the perjury affidavit. Fuller had
previously shown strong inclination
to accept Mrs. Andrews testimony.
Van Vaerenwyck and Sam Squibb,
secretary of the granite cutters inter
national union, have drafted resolu-
lions for Sacco and Vanzetti at state
and national labor federation conven-
tions.
Alibi Witnesses Challenge Fuller
Fourteen alibi witnesses for Sacco
and Vanzetti challenge Gov. Fuller to
arrest them for perjury if he upholds
the Massachusetts court decision
against the two workers. Prof. Fe-
lice Guadagni and Antonio Dentamero
former editor of LaNotizia are two of
the IA willing to suffer prosecution
if Fuller believes Sacco was commit
ting brutal crime at South Brain
tree the day he was with them in
Boston arranging to visit Italy. Bel
trando Brini, who helped Vanzetti sell
fish in Plymouth is another chal-
lenger..
Widow of Slain Man Pleads
The unexpected appeal of Mrs. AL
lessandro Berardelli, widow of the
slain guard, for freedom of Sacco and
Vanzetti is made public by the de-
tense committee:
Il thought you would like to know
that | have today sent the following
telegram to Gov. Fuller: 4 am one
of the two who suffered most from
the Braintree murder. lost my hus-
band and the father of my two chill

the daily papers to be used semi
monthly ostensibly for the free ex-
preston of the workers views on any
matter affecting their interests. I
requested Manson, who was contribut-
ing matter to fill that page to have
the unfaimess of the Bozeman Can
ming Company advertised and thus
make the fact known to the general
public. Manson politely, but firmly
refused. He did not advertise The
Bozeman Canning Company unfair in
his paper until l appeared before the
Cascade Trades and Labor Assembly
early last March.
Blackmailing Merchants
by this scheme the paper is paid
forty dollars per page or eighty dol
lars for the use of two pages per
month. Manson and Kessinger were
selling the scheme to the merchants
at the rate of three to four times the
price they pay for this space. This
scheme likewise was promoted with
the collaboration of Manson without
my consent. The scheme was Great
ing confusion in the minds of the
workers. To stop this decentralization
| was forced to spend much time and
money. Manson was traducing the
office of the federation when he was
promoting this infamous scheme tan
tamount to blackmailing the kindly
disposed toward labor merchants.
Who Finances SearchIight
Manson has confessed to be a poor
man. He is publishing the Search
light" which carries no advertising
sufficient to pay for the printing.
Curiosity prompts the question-who
pays for it!
The Ely turned to the matter of
Manson's connection with the BIG
eastern insurance companies while he
was pretending to represent the work
ers in securing the enlargement of
the workmans' compensation act, say
ing:
Insurance Company Connections
Laid Bare
Manson did not stop at this. His
ambition was growing and his appe-
tite enlarged Without any scruples
on August the ninth, 1926 he accented
a commission from the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United
States. The insurance companies are
the bitterest enemies organized labor
has to contend with in trying to lib
eralize the schedules of compensation
for injured or killed workers in the
course Of their employment in the in

Buffers Comment.
Significance was attached here to
the comment of William M. Butler,
personal political manager of Mr..
Coolidge in the preconvention cam
paign of 1924. He declared:
Il am not convinced he will not run
If nominated" Mr.. Butler, as chair
man of the republican national com
mittee, has retained his close person
al contact with the president.
Five Years Seven Months.
Mr.. Coolidge will have served five
years and seven months at the close
of the four year term to which he
was elected in 1924, having entered
the White House in 1923 upon the
death of President Harding. 1t was
just four years ago that Mr.. Coolidge
was the central figure in an event
of worldwide interest when he took
the oath of office by light of an oil
lamp in the Vermont home of his
father.
Complete Surprise to All
There are few things within reason
that Mr.. Coolidge could have done
which would have cause more COM
plete surprise here than his brief en-
nouncement today. 1t is safe to say
that no single person with him had
the slightest inkling of what was go
ing to happen.
Barring condolences, which seem
unlikely, the presidents intentions
were unknown to all up to noon TODAY
except himself and his confidential
stenographer, Erwin Geiser. The Iar-
ter was called into Mr.. Coolidge's
room shortly before II o'clock and in
structed to type the message which
Mr.. Coolidge dictated on the suffi-
cient number of slips.
How long the president had under
consideration the course he pursued
today doubtlessly will not be dis
closed unless he chooses to discuss
the incident with his friends. That
he waited purposely until today seems
logical as he has leaned toward SEN
timent before.
-Four Years in White House
This was the day on which he closed
four years ago in the Whit House and
not long before his statement was
given out the high marks that his adj
ministration had left with the coun-
try had been discussed at the sum
mer White House.
Foreign Affairs Troubled President
1t was generally regarded that Mr..
Coolidge's statement would have some
thing to do with the troubled Geneva
naval armament conference but the
announcement which came forth was
destined to push the happenings at
that meeting completely into the
background.
Rarely has the president been in a
more genial mood than he was today.

Federal Part in SaccO Frame-up
Forced on Fuller

AOANCu Ol Il uAlcT
Boston-(FP)-In the last hours of
his investigation, Gov. Alvan T. Full
yer was forced to notice the part play
ed by the federal government in the
Sacco-Vanzetti case.
State house reporters, barred from
the secret sessions, overheard Thos.
F. OConnor, one of their own ranks,
pressing Fuller to secure former at
torney general Palmer's statement to
the house rules committee in connec-
ton with the 1920 red raids.
Palmer shows that the federal de-
partment of justice was pursuing Sac
co and Vanzetti and others of their
Galleani anarchist gang. Deporta-
ton at best faced the men.
The defense has always insisted
that Sacco and Vanzetti were not
showing consciousness of guilt" of
the robbery and murder but con-
sciousness of their danger as hunted
radicals.
Deputy Warden James J. Hogsett
of Charlestown prison is one witness
who told Fuller that Vanzetti was no
robber nor murderer. Hogsett has
tried Vanzetti out with guns and bull
lets at the prison and believes Van
zetti innocent.
Sanford Bates, state commissioner
of correction and chief of state penal
institutions, has seen Fuller several
times this week. Bates has studied
the case and says an expert GRIMM
ologist that neither Sacco nor Van
zetti can be classified as bandit or
criminal.

silent on today's development, which
created a political sensation of the
first magnitude. Persons in close
contact with the republican leadership
protested the utmost surprise when
they learned of Mr.. Coolidge's action,
which struck out of a clear sky.
"A number of cabinet officers are
out of town and those here had taken
the afternoon off to go to the Amer
lean league baseball park to do honor
to Walter Johnson on the 20 anniver-
Ssary of his entry into major league

SPECULATION on possible candidates
other than Mr.. Coolidge has revolved
about Frank o. Louden, Vice Presi-
dent Dawes, Secretary Hoover, Speak
er Nicholas Longworth, Senator Bor-
ah and a few others. Some political
leaders have expressed the opinion
that the elimination of the president
would throw the field open for a free
Tor. all contest with several issues
such as farm relief, flood control. tax
alton and others and without the
pressure of an administration organi-
cation dominating the situation.
Some politicians who have been
predicting that Mr.. Coolidge would
not run again, however, had been
linking the name of Secretary Hoover
with gossip of possible candidate
sympathetic with the politics of the
Coolidge administration.
