Present Crisis Demands
Friend of Labor Occupy
County Attorneys Office.

Two years ago Butte labor faced
a situation such as it is facing to-
day, the threat of an open shop
town in Butte with slave wages for
all workers. Butte labor won that
fight. Much of the success of that
fight was due to the efforts of the
county attorney, Harry Freebourn.
In refusing to sign blanket war
rants and in refusing to cooperate
with the Companies and the En-
~ployers' Association, he incurred their
everlasting enmity. The A. G. M.
Co. did all in its power to defeat
Freebourn two years ago, and today
Freebourn is the only Democratic
candidate that is condemned by the
company-owned Democratic" paper,
the Standard. The excuse offered by
the Standard is that Freebourn con-

the A. c. M. Co. we have never
seen it. If there has been any other
corporation that has stopped lower
in bribery and corruption of political
officeholders, we have never seer
that organization. If there has ever
been a group that has maligned,
threatened and starved more men
who differed from them in policy
than the Anaconda Company, we
would like to see that organization.
And yet such al organization,
through its kept press, has the au-
dacity to accuse a person of corrup-

of virtue. Oppose the corporation

AYONETS
AND BALLOTS
VOTE FOR LABOR JUDGES

Sam V. Stewart, the 1914 military
kaiser of Montana, is now seeking
our votes for associate justice of the
supreme court. During these days
of Hoover prosperity and barter,
Sam should be repaid in kind by
the citizens of Butte for his military
acts-bayonets for bayonets-not bal
lots. Remember that the copper
power that was, wanted the militia
sent into Butte in 1914, when there
was no more occasion for it than
there is for sending the militia into
any community of this state today.
Sam V. accommodated che copper
bunch and his military actions re-
suited in the breaking up of the
Miners Union; the introduction into
the Butte camp of the Company gun
men; blacklisting, rustling card and
contract systems; the defeat of q
real workmen's compensation law,
which was to be up on the initiative
to be voted upon; and the ousting
by h~igh-handed methods, Of ex-Mayor
Duncan and ex-Sheriff Driscoll from
office, two of the cleanest and best
public officials this community has
ever had; and started the city Of
Butte, located on the richest hill or
earth, down the road to bankruptcy

r WEIR V
OVATION BY B


Sheriff Larry Weir, labor's en-
dorsed candidate, received the biggest
hand ever recorded in the Central
Council hall last Tuesday night. He
delivered a smothering smack against
the slight opposition that he has in
the person of a republican candidate,
who has refused to play ball in a fair
way.
Charlie Hauswirth, who didn't re-
duce the price of coal, must have
heard about Sheriff Weir's straight
forward talk Tuesday, for that eve
ming he went Immediately to the
Trades Council hall and tried to be-
little one of the best friends organized
labor ever has had in public office.
He was listened to respectfully. No
~resounding applause a Forthcoming
as in the case of Sheriff Weir. Then
some of the delegates asked this aspir-
ing sheriff a few questions.
Did he answer them promptly and
satisfactorily? He didn't.
Sheriff Weir was endorsed by union
labor when he entered the political
field two years ago. When he was
given the coveted endorsement of the
Silver Bow county unions he declared
that he would always be fair to those
organizations, in good, bad or worse
times; and he has.
Coupled with his all-around, cred
liable achievements, in the matter of
holding down crime, conducting his
business far below the allotted budget,
and conscientiously caring for every
desire of the taxpayer, he has made
about the best record that a sheriff of
Silver Bow has ever compiled.
Against such results there came
some complaints from MI. Hauswirth
Tuesday evening. How far he got is
recorded in the utter lack of applause
and the numerous criticisms he re-
ceived when he was finished.
A short time ago Mr.. Hauswirth
sought the Republican nomination fol-
sheriff. He got it, largely through a
campaign to lower telephone rates
although we can't find where that is
in the province of a sheriff-elect
Once he had it, he started sailing after
the office itself. He must have need
ed a telephone, for several weeks age
persons who removed their telephones
learned with surprise and disappoint-
ment that their champion, Charlie
H~auswirth, had his phones reinstalled
Hauswirth also stated that Weir
has incarcerated many unemployed
men. Anyone knows that ne prisoner
has ever been placed in the county
jail to serve a sentence without an
order from the court. The sheriff
doesn't send them to Jail.
Labor advises a vote for Weir next
Tuesday.

May D|SFRANCH|SE non. TAXPAY|NG VOTERS
That Is the Object of the Proposed Amendment to Section
Two of Article TX of the Constitution of
the State of Montana.

disfranchise non-taxpaying voters,
they are going to ~disfranchise tens
of thousands of wives who are also
non-taxpayersl
In all candor, I ask you if you
ever heard of a proposed bond issue
that said commercial clubs and bus
mess mems associations didn't urge
with all their power and resources?
And likewise | ask you, did you ever
hear of a non-taXpaying voter go
ing before the county commissioners.
the commercial clubs and other bus
mess mems associations and arguing
for more bonds to increase trade
areas and relieve bankers from the
hazards of ordinary banking?
The SAINT way for taxpayers to
follow if they want to prevent fur
Their bonding and mortgaging the
future generations is TO DISFRAN-
CHISE EVERY PERSON WHO is
FINANCIALLY BENEFITED IN
ANY WAY BY REASON OF BUS
MESS TRANSACTIONS ARISING
OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH
SAID BOND ISSUESl
Said ABSENTEE LANDLORDS
well know that within the next few
years the non-taxpaying voter will
be multiplied many, many fold. That
fact was fully apparent to them
when said proposed amendment was
passed by the state legislature in
March, 1881, and approved by the
Governor on March 9, 1881. 1t is a
forehanded defense that said ABB
SENTEE LANDLORDS are building
against the day when non-taxpaying
voters will be in the majority in this
state. And you poor boneheads,
hicks and suckers are asked to help
them build that defense!
Before you cast your ballot to dis
franchise non-taxpaying voters, pause
and investigate the cause of the
strenuous efforts Of the power trust
and all other profiteering corpora
tons to disfranchise non-taxpaying
voters. Are you so stupid as to be-
lieve they are working to put money
in your pockets?
The efficacy of political revolt is
doubtful even when the franchise of
voters is unrestricted. Then how
can any political revolt against cor
porate greed be successful when the
great army of unemployed and bank
rupt farmers is disfranchised?
Before you vote for said disfran-
chisement, Mr.. Workman, Mr.. Farm
er, Mr.. Veteran, stop and consider
that you are now a taxpayer by suf-
ferance only. Before another cleo
ton you may be a non-taxpaying
voter. Then, you can look back and
see how you, by your own act, wrote
on the wall: POLITICAL REVOLTS
HAVE BEEN WEIGHED IN THE
BALANCE AND FOUND WANT
INGl From that time on, you will
be weighed in the balances of profit
teers, and, when so weighed against
usury and unconscionable taxes, you
will weigh nothingl

at the head of the State Council of
Defense which dragged William F.
Dunn and R. B. Smith before it at
Helena during the miners strike of
1917, brought as a result of low
wages and 166 miners being killed
in the Granite Mountain mine shaft
fire. 1t was this inquisition by the
infamous State Council of Defense
that laid the foundation for the mid
night arrest and transportation Of
Dunn to Helena, to be prosecuted
under Sans pet syndicalism law by
the then County Attorney of Lewis
and Clark county, not at Butte where
the Butte Bulletin was printed and
published.
We also remember that when Sam
V. called special sessions of the
Legislature to pass syndicalism laws
to Cypress people with independent
minds anywhere in the state of Mon
tana, he did not recommend any law
for taxing excessive war profits by
war profiteers. AS an example, one
local company in 1916 cleaned up a
net profit of about s58,000,00O while
it's normal annual profits for three
years prior to the World war had
been about $11,000,000. In this way
it was receiving about $47,000,O 0O
in war profits, or in other words,
blood money. Providence, the Great
Equalizer, or whatever you may call
Him, it seems, is today applying
the idea of retribution to this COM
pany and Sam V.
Well, Sam V. is not and never
was much of a lawyer, but is con-
sidered by many to be of the weak
kneed corporation political-tool type
with whom string pulling and spe-
cial favors and bayonets have more
weight than statutory law or sound
legal reasoning poor recommen-
dation for a place on the supreme
court. He has been a backslider
for the last IL years; politically he
is in the same class as a 1914 model
automobile. If he needs any finan-
cial assistance in his old age, he
should receive a military Or political
henchman's pension directly from the
interests he has served, and should
not be accepted by the citizens OF
this state as an extra tax burden
Sans buddy, Albert J. Galen, might
tell Sam how to obtain a gratuity
of $21S per month, which ought tc
be enough for any p%ensioner these
days. This amount would look very
sweet to thousands in Montana today
Also remember that in 1928 San
v. aspired to become U. S. senator
and B. X. Wheeler beat him by 9
vote of about four to one. He'll
