&c FAST ROUNDS.
On Legion Fight Card
AT WILLISTON.

Williston, April IT, A fight
ingIrishman from South Dakota
will invade Williston next week
with the intention of stopping Al
ex Knaub, Billings fighter, at the
armory, Friday, April "a. Mike o.
Day and Knaub will headline the
American Legion fight card of SO
rounds.
O'Day is recognized middle
weight champion of South Dakota
with over 100 battles to his cred
it. Rugged of frame, he can slug
with the best of them or step a
round like a dancing matser.
Knaub needs no introduction to
fans in this section ad he will E.
ter the rig a decided favorite OF
the fans. The Montana boy is as
hard to hit as shadow, and fine
sportsman with a love for the
game.
A big portion of the crowd will
be seated around the ring the mite
of the fight for the express pur-
pose of watching Kayo Don Fos-
ter of Minot be worried by Lee
Cavanaugh of Glendive. Cavan-
augh's brother was knocked out by
Foster on the last fight card here.
This Foster is a mean customer
to mix with. Because of the unpop-
ularity of the big boy, the custom
ers are not inclined to give him
credit for being as good as he is.
Cavanaugh will be outweighed by
about 8 pounds but fights with the
pugnaciousness of a bulldog. The
Cavanaugh-Foster fight is going
to be equally as good as the main
go.
Two rangey boys over six feet
tall, Goar and Langsdorf, will I'M
wind for four rounds. Langsdorf
has not appeared on a card here
before. Goar in his last figh!
handed lilies to the eccentric AL
kali Pete who has helped make
Plentywood renown.
Claude Wegley plans on giving
Johnnie Skies a lesson. Claude
found the going tough on his last
appearance but he intends to make
up for it this time. Badly out Of
training before, Wegley has beer
in systematic training since the
fight. Fighting in their own class
Skies and Wegley will put on ;
good show.
The other ten rounds will b.

1877 BANKS WENT
HAYWRE In JAN'Y

Washington, d. Cali the cap
italistic newspapers are SURPRISING
the significant news just issued by
the federal reserve bank, showing
that 1877 banks failed in January,
1881. More than $91, 100000 was
involved. y...
January 1881 broke all January
records in the history of the Unit
ed States for bank failures. From
all indications February will be
worse than January, and it seems
that the failures will probably in
crease as spring advances and the
depression worsens.
While banks were crashing ev-
cry day all over the country, and
especially in the important sec
tions of the country not one line
of this news has gotten into the
capitalist papers. 1t shows that fl
nancial situation is so bad the cap
italist press is deliberately hiding
the facts.
The Producers News is the only
paper in Montana that is reporting
the bank failures.
The bankers cause the newspap-
ers to suppress the news of the
nationwide bank debacle in order
that people may not know the risk
they take when they deposit their
money in a bank with absolutely
no security.
Many workers over the country
are depositing their savings in the
post office savings banks, where
Uncle Sam guarantees them that
they will get it back.
Failed Banks =.
The number of banks crashing
in the leading federal reserve dis
tricts are as follows, including the
amounts involved:
New York, 2, $6,693,O0O; Phila
delphia, 8, SO, 100000; Cleveland
II, $6,391, 900; Richmond, 10, 81,

WHEELER PREDICTS
POLITICAL REVOLT
Senator Foresees Disaster for Old
Parties If ReactiOnary Forces
Dominate.

Chicago, April4.-SenatOr B. K.
Wheeler today predicted political
and economic upheavels as a result
of current distress and said there
would be a third party if the two
major parties are to be dominated
by "reactionary forces"
The Montana democrat, before
the Open Forum, proposed pro-
gresive program for the new con-
gress embracing a five day week,
recognition of Russia and with
drawal from the courts of the in
junction right in labor disputes.
Certain progressive leaders,"
he said, "may issue statements
saying there will be no third party
in 1882, but the people and .>ot
the leaders will determine whether
there will be third party in the
event the two old parties do not
courageously and honestly offer
and apply remedies TO meet the de-
plorable economic situation which
exists in this country today"
Wheeler was one of the five
signers of the call for the recent
progressive conference. The 9th
ers have all disclaimed third party
! plans.
The industrial leaders of the
country. he said, have been seeking
special advantages for themselves
Eat the cost of the breakdown of
the very system which they to a
large extent dominate"
Sneakinp of the depression, Sen
Wheeler said:
"The effect OF the people is to
shake TO their very foundations
our political and economic institu-
tions and to throw off their polit-
/ ical leaders"

lieve in his innocence and are now
again mObilizing their forces for
a renewal of the campaign to Sc
cure his release. The confidence
of the ranks of labor In the Ia
Dor bureauorats of the Paul
Scharranberg type has been as
much weakened by their action IN
the Mooney case as by all their
other acts of treachery to labor
combined. These labor leaders
have lost most Of their influence
over the organized workers. It
wOuld be incorrect to assume that
the voice of a Scharranberg, q
Matthew Vol or a William Green
Is the voice of labor, organized
or mOrganized.
1t is not necessary for me to go
into the Mooney case in detail.
/ am sure that Your Excellency Is
perhaps better acquainted with 1t
than l am. In asking you as
chief executive of the State of
California to grant an uncOndi-
tiOnal pardon TO Mooney, am
not doing so on sentimental
grounds. Mooney is not a Grim
NAL or of the criminal type. He
is a liOn-hearted, clear-headed and
cOnstructively minded militant
champion of labor. His name
will be enshrined in the pages of
Labor History when the names of
those varlOts, alleged labor lead
ers who aided his enemies to keep
him in jail, will be but kissing
and a by-wOrd.
The world is standing today at
juncture in human history
where two eternities meet. The
present is the battle ground of the
struggle between two social ideas.
With its roots in the past, the
system of exploitation that Moon
ey fought against is holding on
like grim death to its privileges
Ii strangels human liberty and
persecutes those who would fix
the eyes of mankind on "a future
where peace, prosperity and hap
piness would be the lot of the hui
man race. Mooney is only one of
the many victims of that system
His case is the most spectacular
because it is the most glaring ex-
ample of what depths the exploit
ers will descend to in crushing
those who stand for a new social
order. The ideal society that
Mooney stands for and to which
he has stood steadfast thru fiji
teen terrible years of confinement
would abolish poverty and in st
doing would lift the fear of wal
and mar. mode disasters from the
hearts of humankind.

Public Utilities
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE & TELE-
GRAPH CORPORATION.

GRAPH CORPORATION
tThis is the enty-seyenth article of a
series on the subject of public utilities,
covering the principal operating and
holding companies. giving their history,
e cS al and an s anass vii
discuss bonds as well as stocks; but VIII
recommend purchase or sale of specific
securities)
The present shares of the Interna-
tional Telephone & Telegraph Corpora
ton during the year 1929 sold at high
of 149l4 and at low of SO. a range OF
more than 90 points. In 1880 the high
was 773s and the low 17i2, a difference
of almost so points. At the close of the
year the stock was quoted not far above
its low.
This sweeping downward readjust-
ment in market price is eXplainable
first, by the natural reaction from the
absurd heights to which all public util-
tiles were bid up when the speculative
mania was at its peak; second, by the
general business depression, from which
this company has suffered in common
with nearly all other enterprises. Lastly
the political disturbances in Latin
America, where International Telephone
has its largest stake, have had an I'M
settling effect on investment sentiment
Under the circumstances the stock
must be rated as a speculation suitable
only for those able to take the risk
involved. A better case can be made
out for the bonds. In 1929 fixed
charges were earned nearly three times
over, and in the first nine months OF
1880 they were covered two and two
tenthS times, which is highly salts
factory margin. The most interesting
of these bonds Is the convertible 4 II
per cent issue maturing in 1889 These
too, have had a hectic market career
selling in 1929 as high as 224, reflect
ing the privilege of conversion into stock
which they carry, but they have sound
investment value aside from this privi-
lege. AT this writing they are selling
on an investment basis to yield nearly
per cent. The conversion price is now
little over S64 a share, obviously oil
no immediate value but with posSibil-
itics if and when business returns tx
normal.
There are two other bonds which are
also direct obligations of the corpora
ton, but lacking the conversion fea-
lures All three issues are debentures
rating equally as to security. The
higher price which the market is will
ing to pay for the 4las of 1889 is 9
premium on the speculative possibility
that the stock will advance enough Il
make conversion profitable. There i
no difference as to investment quality
Of the three bonds.
