The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1933-05-05

ChnRS Dy Delng strongly organized
themselves and using their orga-
nlzation to keep the great mass of
the working people disorganized.
Doesn't it sound silly to hear
some lantern-jawed yap with his
hands in his empty pockets latter
I the other fellow has picked theml.
boasting that he had always "got
by" so far when he doesn't own
enuf of the nations wealth to buy
himself cemetery lot. At the
same time his heart is beating his
funeral march to his grave.
Got by" yes all who are alive
I can make a similar boast. Such a
moron would be classed as one of
our very best citizens by c. G.
Christianson, senior member of
the firm of Christianson and Ben
nett.
Question: If organization is
good for the ruling class why is
it not good for the working class?
If sauce is good for the goose it
should be equally good for the
gander.
But being organized doesn't spell
any thing unless the organization
Is fighting for more food, shelter,
clothing, etc. There's no use own
ing. gun if you never intend to
shoot. Organization is your gun.
Farmers! workers.! The weapon
In your hands are the boycott, the
blacklist, economic and political
power. A boycott on brentwood
by the farmers for a single week
would force old Jack and his yes
men to crawl and cringe and make
the little Commercial club beg for
mercy. For don't they all live di-
rectly off the producers?
When the U. F. L. got the re-
lief in Sheridan cuonty didn't Mr..
Spaulding say eve can't give
cash. The storekeepers have got
to live too" Well, let them live,
there is plenty here for all but,
let them live as Jesus would say
"from the sweat of their own
! brows."
If we must keep them, then let
US give 'em as good as we have
got ourselves but no better. Give
them the same amount of relief
that the farmers are getting.
But when it comes to C. G.
Christensen in the store and old
Jack in the post office and relief
station working in cahoO:s extract
ing from 25 to IS per cenr profit
from shop worn goods thru relief
orders it is too much. Take the
case of Mrs. David Nelson who
came to town in a wagon and was
forced to take an order for $40 on
: G. G. Christians0n by the es-men
and because she owed that store
So since last summer she was
forced to pay it out of her relief
order. leaving her 81 to keep her
I self and family Of five in gro
ceries for a month.
S 1t is time we wake up to the
true situation. Mrs. Nelson, the
q u. f. l.. committee is working on
e this case and Christianson and old
0 Jack are going to be forced to pull
e in their horns on this high jack
ing. They have stepped just a
a little too far this time.
We will never forget the cold
days when you came into the u.
F. L. meetings last winter fight
ing for relief for your children
Z and hauling your own coal while
your husband was sick in bed.
Joe Redmond, (hOt tire fence
and wholesaler of beer) says "Ben-
nett cleaned up on Salisbury. Now
if someone would clean up on Pete
, Gallagher, the u. F. L. would be
Iiquidated and all would be well
in Plentywood."
e Now Joe, old Jack cannot clear
d up on the U. F. L. organization
S by hitting an organizer in the back
e or even by killing him, which he
r has threatened to do. but you
mainstreeters can get yourself in
a position where it is necessary
: fer the farmers to clean the Com
mercial club, old Jacks yes-men
} saloons and all, by staying hon
and picketing the roads coming I,
Plentywood. A word to the wise
should be sufficient.
- No Rodney Salisbury is MOI
y = cleaned up and Pete Gallagher is
not cleaned up either. Don't k,
Il yourselves, mainstreeters, there is
v nothing tough about any of
If there was, we'd deal with yOU
accordingly. This also includes
v old Jack and his yes-men.
: Workers, farmers, let's rally e
! the U. F. L.
= Note: Say Phil, we understand
: you are talking about peoples
morals at the relief station. Peo-
q pie in glass houses should MOI
throw stones. Enuf said, maybe
