Open fascist terror has been es-

streets against Communists. Every
class conscious worker who attempts
to organize the workers against un-
employment, wage cuts and suppress
sion of the trade unions is arrested
and either deported or murdered.
Monday the headquarters of the
National Federation of Workers was
raided, and the secretary, Miguel
Montera Gareai was arrested. With
him is others were jailed They are
charged with being "agents of Mos

fore he orders the workers to be ex-

after the American fashion, are in
creasing rapidly in Cuba. Maehado

NEW YORK.-'Brieklayers! Fight
against spesd-up and cutting of
wages; fight against discrimination
and favoritism; fight against con-
troll OF the union by the bessesl Fight
for job control through union COM
mittees; fight for unemployment in

Thus begins a ieafiet now being
circulated among bricklayers, By the
Building and CONSTRUCTION Workers
Industrial League of the Trade Union
Unity League.
The leaflet points out that con-
tractors are taking work for as low
as half the price of former years,
and expect to make up by speeding
up the workers and cutting their
wages. Eight dollars day is now
the prevailing wage. If you ask for
the union scale, you don't work.

members get cards of a different
color, making it easy to discriminate

a struggle will have its most audible
echo in the city, for that day such
a struggle will have it's clearest ex-
preston in the determination of all
the workers, native as well as for
eign born, to stop the vicious cam
paign directed against them.

March IA Affair to

NEW YORK.-The attack of the
government through its Post Office
Department against the working class
press has been very greatly felt by
the Spanish organ of the Communist
Party. Vida Obrefa,' as this paper
was only in existence for very
short period at the time of the at
tack and the basis had not been
built for mass paper that could
face such attacks.
Viva Obrera, the fighting organ of
the Latin American workers of this
country is today in danger. The I'M

lean workers makes it impossible for
it to live on the subscriptions or sales.

the proceeds of an sos ball arranged

ORGANIZATION AGAINST THE FARMERS

There has been organized in Chicago a movement with the slogan
"Keep the Government Out of Private Business" The name of this
organization is the Association of American Business Men. It's Off
GERS and principal membership is made UP of Chicago Board of Trade,
brokers and spectators.
The real reason for this organization is not to keep the govern
ment out of private business but to Keep the Farmer Out of the
Grain Business" Let that be thoroughly understood. The personnel
of this organization know that the government is not in the business
of buying and selling grain. But they hope to garner sympathy by
yelping about the government being in business.
They don't want the farmer to be in the grain business and they
are willing to take all steps short Of mayhem to keep him out Of it.

Statesmen are still trying to see if they can save Europe through a
hafbiion loan to Germany. Rugged individualiss haunt us with the
information that Britain is spending $25OOOOO0O a year IN unemplOy

Such figures appear staggering when they represent spending to
advance the wenbeing of mankind. But no such excitement stirs us
when we learn of truly colossal OUTLAWS for purposes of human destruc-
ton.
Comes now the announcement of world armament figures in the
Year Book of the League of Nations for the last fiscal year.
The various nations spent no less than S415S000O00 for arna-
ments last year. This figure is not miigated by news that the ex-
penditures are getting any less. On the contrary, the nations spent
S1O0000O00 more last year than the year before.

LIKE MOTHER USED TO DO

If you're feeling sort O. rocky and Disguised with yourself.
You haven't got the orders, and the goods are on the shelf;
You've tried your best at smiling, but only a grin will come,
And your tempers short and snappy in the Iovenest called home;
You'll get a lot of help from it and keep from getting blue
If you go to church on Sunday, like your mother used to do.
When you sit beside the sick bed of your darling little boy,
And the doctors diagnosis has dispersed your hope and joy;
When your bills are multiplying and your bank account is low;
And WHEY needs a little rest, about a week or so;
You'll get a boost and blessing that will surely pull you through,
If you go to church on Sunday, like your mother used to do.

the schools going.

VIM. Young made a talk offer
ing several ideas on reducing
costs in the county offices.
The next resolution offered for
adoption called for the cancella-
ton of interest on farm indebted
ness for the period of one year
by all banks with whom the peo-
pie of McCone county did bus
mess. This led to the liveliest de-
bate of the meeting. Paul Kresbs-
bach, John Schillinger, John Beck,
J. Lunde and others spoke in OPP
position to the resolution. Chair
mar Horsford. w. S. Good, Clar-
ence Chamberlain and others sup
ported the resolution. Krebsbach
made the longest argument and
n filled with fairminded good
sense. He said, 81 do not expect
that all of you will be able to pay
your interest, but a few Of you
will" He stressed the obligation
that his bank owed to its deposit
tors and said: 81 am a trustee of
their funds. You owe the com
munity in which you operate a
certain obligation. Cooperation
will help to work out the solution,
It's a great battle, let's battle it
out together. This is not our
fight alone. l speak on behalf of
the merchant. Many people have
received a credit from them"
John Schillinger thought that
interest was not hurting as much
as the price of machinery.
Walter Good said the resolution
vas not directed against local
banks so much as it was against
the present banking system, that
pressure on local institutions
might have some effect on the
big ones above them.
At this point in the discussion
Mrs. o. B. Horsford moved to lay
the resolution on the table. Ms.
Russell Harmon seconded Mrs.
Horsford's motion, saying it did
not seem the right time to ask
such things as cancellation of in
terest. The chair put Mrs. Hors-
ford's motion to an Aye and No
vote. Questions were interposed
as to what was being voted on
and it seemed as if there was not
a proper understanding of the
question before the house. The
chairman put the question again,
asking for a vote by the raising of
hands. A comparatively small
part of those present voted, but
a count revealed that the motion
to table the resolution had car
ried decisively and the chair de-
clared it carried.
1t was past six o'clock and the
Herald reporters were obliged to
leave for home, whether or not
other resolutions were offered.
Although very little of a con-
crete nature was accomplished in
the way of organization for relief
a large amount of information
came to the surface and there was
a free and friendly Interchange of
ideas which is always bound to
bear good results. The stress of
extreme conditions that have new
er before been felt to the extent
they r now. Very evidently it
is affecting the temper of the peo-
pie, many of whom labor under
misrepresentation and lack of com
plete and accurate information.
But the great majority who at
tended this meeting must have
gone home feeling that county,
state and federal officials and bus
mess men of many kinds We're
thoroughly aroused to the needs
of drouth and storm sufferers and
that many minds I ready and
willing to cooperate toward the
solution of our grievous problems.

TIME EoR "Reminiscences

Now is the time for all good men to keep their heads, retain a
sane viewpoint. be fair one with another. Most OF the friction III
feeling and misunderstanding all over the world arises from mis-
Inflammation or pure ignorance. It is good to talk together, frankly
and open-mindedy. But to jump at hasty conclusions, based o a lack
of information, is often to produce IN effect the opposite oil that ue7
sired. o to injure the cause we wish to advance.
