OLE'S OBSERVATIONS
By "Yiminy."
Halo everybody.

Veil ay see by the Montana Stand
ard ware fallers who control Panga
ban goin' to create lots more Panga
by initiation scheme. Desc har fall
lers say initiation ban means of rails
ing prices and say it ban plan to raise
prices by regulation Of panga by put
ting value of dollar down to saxty
cents. Desc fallers say all commod-
tiles got tn raise, so Junited States
can be hit by wave of prosperity.
Dey say public don't care because
more panga goin' tn be in circula-
ton. Ay wonder yust who desc fall
lers tink Public ban? Ay wonder if
desc Gentlemen understand dat labor
ban commodity tn, and faller who la
bors ban part of public? Ay see
ware everything laboring faller have
to eat, wear, and use in order to live
ban coming up on a pretty fast yump.
So you see vare faller who ban get
$50 a month; and it cost him $50 a
mont for his rent, clothes, shoes, grub
and odder tings vot man got tn have
to live now, ban goin' to get dirty end
of stick, unless fallers who pay wages
recognize fact dat $50 wort of COM
modities (outside of labor now ban
goin' to yump tn $50 and raise das
har wage from $50 to at least SIS.
If desc fallers who ban running
UNITED States ship of state ban for
get tn put in guide wage blade in
propeller of das ship, das boat go
round and round in maelstrom of in
efficiency yust the same as it has
done for last 8 IL years. Tu pull
upstream out Of das har maelstrom
das ship of state got tn have all blades
in propeller in guide sound condition,
oddervise, dey goin' to be sucked down
or else ship ban pull out a little, den
get beached on bleak coast Of low
vich ban surest way to destruction
Junited States or any adder country
can take.
Ay don't see Wy desc fallers don't
get into conference With all fallers
concerned and ven all commodities
but labor take das har yump include
labor in scheme tn. If dey can't hold
das yump in prices of all commodities
(but labor) ven wages finally ban
considered, make das raise in wages
retroactive to date all odder commod-
tiles take yump.
Ay don't see any sense in prices
of canned goods goin' up, now any
way. If farmer get benefit of price
yump, das skall be guide ting, but
farmer ent goin' tn get benefit Of
raise in price of grain, or beans, peas,
corn, and such tings vat he sold last
year. 1t looks tn me like desc fall
lers say:
"In 1929 We had in Junited States
so many ~millionares, and a few bill
lionaires. Now We got a whole lot
less %millionaires, but yust about so
many billionaires. Veil fallers har
ban chance tn make a few more fall
lers count deir panga by millions.
Farmer he already got his panga for
produce raised in 1882, labor ban pad
off tn. Now desc goods ban cost us
so much. We raise price 2, 8, mebbe
5 cents a can on das stuff, and in
das way We get lots more millionaires
among our select class and tn hal with
fallers who make it possible for US
to make all das panga. And ven la
Dor ban demand its share, We put 'em
off for long time by conference, bull
headed attitude and any way We can
stall desc fallers off from vat they
think dey are entitled tu." Ay tink
by yimny desc har capitalists vot
seem to be running ship of Junited
States don't tink much of precept laid
down by Abraham Lincoln ven he say:
Labor ban prior to and independent
of Capital"
Veil fallers Butte tn, has ship to
run Home Trade ban vun of blades
in propeller. All workers ban in
cluded in propeller blades. Now yum
of desc har blades seems to me to
be worked out of shape. Das har
blade ban labelled "Allied Printing
Crafts" 1t should be yum of strong
est blades in propeller, but is it? Das
har canal ship of Butte ban in Cur
rency Canal" 1t ban supposed to be
fed by trade from Butte. But ay
take guide look at Canal and boat and
see business man who ban supposed
tn have guide sense brush off Panga
