Judge Felt Files For Congress

Judge Stanley f. Felt Of Baker,
for the last IL years one of the
judges of the Sixteenth Judicial
District, comprising most of East
ern Montana, filed at Helena Sat-
urday for the Republican nominal
tion for representative in congress
from the Second District.
Judge Felt has resided in the
Second congressional district for
practically a quarter of a century.
He was born on a farm in Cass
County, Iowa. in 1881, and after
attending rural schools went to
high school at Des Moines. He at
tended the universities of Mich
gan and Iowa and obtained both
arts and law degrees. In 1910 he
came to Montana and took up prac-
tice at Glendive.
Four years later he was elected
to his first public office, that of
county attorney for Dawson Coun-
ty. In 1917 he was commissioned
a captain of infantry and spent a
year and a half in active service.
When the war ended Mr.. Felt came
back to Eastern Montana and took
up law practice in Terry. The next
year-1920-he was elected to the
district court bench and he was
reelected in 1924, 1923 and 1892.
During that time he spent one per-
lod of six months on the Supreme
Court Commission and he has held
court in 26 of the 80 counties which
comprise the congressional district
he now seeks to represent. The
Baker jurist is a member of Ma
sonic bodies and of the Order of
Elks. He is married and has three
sons and an adopted daughter.

continue to make long term real

production credit for farmers
loans used for producing crops and
livestock and repaid at the end of
the season. This is an entirely
new service for farmers and live
stock owners and it is designed to
be permanent.
The Midland association will
make a loan to a farmer or stock
man and also additional advances

the money according to w. j. Sod

Loans on livestock can usually be
made for one years time, and the
facilities are such that new appli-
cations for loans can be handled
promptly. Already loans have
been approved in the sum of $685.

SYRACUSE, N. "a certain
Adam Erlin, aged so, of 126 Will

fireman there wasn't feeling well
one day and couldn't go to work.
He was laid off right away. After
he heard this, he took it all into
his head, and not wanting to go
back to relief again, he hanged
himself Surviving are his wife,
Katherine, and his 4-year-old son,
Raymond.
He was a member of the Polish
National Church and whenever he
didn't work elsewhere, he spent
time working at the church for no
pay whatsoever. He worked there
quite often.
After he died, his wife went to
the priest of this church and asked
to have him buried by them. She
was told by the priest that her hus-
band wasn't accepted as a member
of that church, and therefore they
would not be able to do as she
asked. This was because while out
of work he hadn't paid his different
fees, although he did do plenty of
work for them.
This shows you what these diff
ferent churches do. When you have
money you are accepted, but the
minute you are out of work you
aren't any good as a member.
Mrs. Erin did not plead with the
priest or anything like that but
just wanted to hear what he would
tell her. Her husband was buried

Well, I didn't know god had a
caste system, but anyhow.
Miss Hirst has neglected to ex-
plain why the literary field is SO
"overpopulated". she has also
neglected to explain what sort of
literary products are marketable
under our remarkable capitalistic
system, so We'll fill in this last omis-
sion.
What the bosses are looking for
these days, is literature" designed
to instill vanity which will prevent
workers from uniting; which will
glorify docility, humility, abject SUBJ
mission IN the destitute; which will
blind the workers to the fact that
machinery and raw materials exist,
which, if used, would supply all Of
us with a decent standard of living
and freedom from worry.
You can decorate your compost
tons with a blue and gold sky, if
you like, and a brisk wind and a
rainbow or two Off you don't charge
extra for such frills); the bosses
don't object to "Style"-provided the
theological content is what they
want: the shaming, threatening, or
flattering of workers into accep-
lance Of rotten standards of living!

ton, Mass, Mary D., San Diego, Cal.
Some of the information that you
requested has already appeared in
this column. Before the war (1913),
there were only 10000 physicians in
the entire Russian Empire with a
population of 150,000,O00 people;
most of them practicing in the
cities and larger towns. In some
areas there was only one physician
to population of over 10000 peo-
Pile. In 1882 there were $4,000 physi-
clans in Soviet Russia; or exactly
four times as many as in 1918; 80
per cent of the physicians working
exclusively for the state.
The death rate in 1913 WIS 27.3
per thousand of populations while
in 1926 the death rate came down
to 203 and has been steadily de-
creasing for the last eight years.
In Moscow the death rate fell from
1872 to 1874 during the same period;
the death rate in New York City
being 1913. The mortality in I'm
perial Russia was twice as large as
that of England and four times that
of Norway. In 1912, there were only
six medical colleges in Russia. In
| 1888 there were 106 and the number
of medical students had increased
to $4,000. In 1880, about IS per cent
of the medical students were women.
All medical students are required
to receive instruction, in (besides

their medical subjects) military
science, economics, sociology, me-
teorology and NEUROLOGY and in

terialism.
Medical students visit factories to
inspect their sanitary arrangements;
also public schools and the homes
of workers and peasants to discover
any conditions of faulty hygiene.
Every three years each medical
practitioner is expected to take a
postgraduate course for three or
four months.
Pain on Tip of Tongue
A Comrade and Reader, PhiIa-
delphia-If you paint the tip of
your tongue with iodine every
night, keeping your tongue out I'M
til the iodine dries, you will find
that the pain will disappear. In
addition, you must not smoke for
at least one week, nor eat any spicy
or acid food.
Acute Bronchitis-Viosterol and
Anemia
A. b. Jersey-The best treatment
for your condition is to take one
teaspoonful of Syrup Cocillana
Compound every two or three hours
until your cough improves. Viosterol
has no direct effect on anemia. It
is much better to take some iron
preparation; but this will not help,
if your anemia is too severe. For
such a condition there is no bet
ter treatment than injections of
iron followed by ultraviolet lamp

the basis of struggle for partial
demands. 1t is also important that
in pointing out how the National
Labor Board and the A. F. of L.
leaders act as strike breakers, spe-
cif1c instances should be given in
order that the exposure shall be
concrete, and A. F. of L. workers
must be invited to participate in
united action of the rank and file.
There is an effort to bring for
ward the Soviet Union in dealing
with some Of the questions raised
in the Live Wire, but in doing SO it
is very important that the COM
rades should deal more specifically
with electrical workers and the cleo
trical industry in the Soviet Union,
to contrast the life of workers in
whom the C. E. workers would be
interested
An article on the youth in the
first issue is very general and shows
lack OF familiarity with the youth
in the shop and the problems and
program of the youth. A good fea-
ture is the advertisement of some
important pamphlets. 1t would be
better, instead of printing the title
and price of the pamphlet, to have
brief review of one in each issue,
telling where and how to obtain it.
The review could connect problems
of the shop and show why every
worker should get a copy. Still an
other point in connection with cor
respondence. The workers must be
assured that correspondence will be
treated confidentially in order to
induce them to write.
Emphasis must be laid on the
question of specific department
problems and demands as we'll as
on the general approach. While i'm
portant questions, such as old age
pensions, insurance, company
unions, the MIRA, etc., have been
raised in the two issues, there is
need for still more pressing imme-
date day-to-day questions affecting
the workers in the various depart
ments, no matter how small these
problems may be, together with
clear demands, explanations of the
demands and directives.
The Live Wire is still new ano
consideration must also be given to
the fact that there are insufficient
forces in the shop. There is evident
absence of developed technical help
to get out the paper.
With proper guidance from the
Section and District leadership, the
shortcomings will be eliminated

Covers Up
Long Hours
Clerks Who Work IIHa
Hours on Saturday
Sign Up for 10
by a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK.-Even though you've
had articles exposing some exploita-
ton of the chain stores, I think this
gives some angles.
Under the N. R. A., the grocery
workers are supposed to work 10
hours Saturdays, Sc hours per week.
We worked II and half hours
as an extra Saturday clerk, with a
10 minute lunch at pm, no eats
from am. Then the manager
forced us to sign company state
ment that we worked 10 hours with
our regular lunch hour, at the rate
Of IS and half cents an hour.
I hear that the clerks come in
earlier and leave later than they
should regularly.
The A. & P. claimed to have hired
5000 with the N. R. A., but I hear
that many were just temporary.
Later the higher paid clerks and
even managers and superintendents
were fired or rehired at a lower
wage. In stores with approximately
the same business volume we notice
less help.
The enclosed delivery form shows
another form of speed up for the
lowest paid help-checking the time
one leaves and returns, and thus
setting one workers speed against
another.
A discrimination against the poor
by the chain stores that seems to
have escaped notice is the fact that
they pay higher prices for their
food, since they pay for the deliv-
cries to the rich (main users of the
delivery service), for the unpaid bills
of the rich mainly, which the
managers make up by overcharging,
for the de luxe stores and extra help
in the richer neighborhoods which
is made up by stores in the poorer
neighborhoods.
Even the managers who speed up
their clerks, are in continual fear
of losing their jobs after each
weekly and monthly check-up, and
many are actually fired. If short
more than few dollars once or
twice, no matter how honest and
how many years of service, they may
get the gate. For with the INSULT
cient spoilage allowance, 6 per cent,
every manager must make up any
greater losses by overcharging the
public.

ton of the letter he shows class
consciousness, while in the other
section ne expresses himself in
backward manner. In arguing IN
favor of the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill and
for support of the Steel and Metal
Workers Union, he raises the ques-
ton, do you think that your
daughter should walk the streets
and the married women hold down
the jobs that single girls should
have? If not, then show your col
ors. Come together and fight for
living wage, so that your wife
and all married women should stay
at home and take care of it and
the children"
We must be careful not to use the
argument of reactionaries in de-
priving women of a livelihood. The
editor should have used this letter
to point out how the enemies of the
working class use such arguments
to create an impression that they
can overcome unemployment by
throwing women out of work. Also
that the issue is not that of married
versus single women, or whether
women ought to work or not. In
stead, the struggle for equal wages
for women and better conditions
and higher wages should have been
connected up with the demand for
social insurance and building the
union.
An article in the Live Wire
deals with the question of the COM
pany insurance fund racket. 1t
starts out with the thought-pro-
voking question, do the workers
need additional insurance." In an
effort to show the workers how not
to become victims of the boss's in
surance racket, the writer unwit-
tingly praises the private insurance
racket as being real protection.
Since when do we denounce the
company insurance racket only tc
praise the private insurance racket

By SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD

We have before us the first two
issues of the Live Wire, organ
of the Party in the General Electric
Co., Bridgeport, Conn. To our
knowledge this is the first time in
the history of Bridgeport that
shop paper has been issued by the
Party in this plant, which employs
over fifteen hundred workers. The
location of the factory in heavy
industry city and its strategic posi-
ton as war industry makes the
paper extremely welcome.
The comrades have made efforts
to politicalize and tie up the con-
tents with general agitation, which
is a good idea; but their good eff
forts are weakened by some bad
approaches to and Foundations of
problems, which we point out below.
The articles are short. This is an
other good point.
In the first issue there is letter
from a General Electric worker
which has appeared in the Daily
Worker. This method helps in
popularizing the central organ of
the Party. Some of the letters,
however, are not carefully consid-
cred by the Editors of the Live
Wire. In one, IAN old timer"
writes about a fellow worker who
was fired from Department "a for
having spoiled some wire. In deal
ing with the firing of his fellow
worker. "Old Timer" states that ''if
there was an organization, maybe
he would have been punished by re-
ceiving a week off, or two, but he
would not have been fired" In other
words, the writer enormously Gre
ates the impression that the role
of a real workers organization in
the shop is to punish for the boss
but in a milder way. The editor
should have explained to the writer
his wrong attitude and have had
him rewrite the letter, or an edi-
torial note should have beer
printed.
There is a letter in the second
issue under the title, Break the
Compulsory Insurance Racket" II
is signed by "a G. E. Worker.
This worker expresses himself in g
contradictory manner. In one sec.

played in the recent strike of the
Greek seamen. In dealing with
MacLevy's use of his police to break
the strike it would be well to ex-
plain briefly the nature of that &C
ton, for not all workers are ia
miliar with this strike.
In the same article the writer ap-
peals to the workers of the shop to
join the movement already under
way in the Schenectady and other
plants of the G.. E. for an industrial
union. This is an excellent way to
connect up various questions. But
he spoils the good article in calling
upon the workers to organize the
union "of the workers, controlled by
the rank and file" when he adds,
and not outside labor officials"
This is a serious mistake. 1t
plays right into the hands of the
bosses, who use the very same cry
against outside labor officials in
calling on the workers to support
the company unions. An example
of this kind of boss appeal to the
workers for company unionism can
be seen in the full-page ads re-
Gently in the capitalist newspapers
by the Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce and the New York Taxi
Corporations, who used the same
language to combat strikes and Or
ganization of their shops.
In another article in the second
issue dealing with the A. F. of L..
as agents of the bosses, the COM
rades rightly tell the workers to
fight the company union, but make
the mistake of telling them in the
same sentence to fight ''its twin
brother, the A. F. of L. crafts
union" This is wrong way of
raising the issue, since it does not
see the distinction between COM
pany unions and the A. F. of L.,
and since it does not differentiate
between the rank and file of the
A. F. of L. in the shop and the
bureaucracy. This creates a danger
of developing the theory that all in
the A. F. of L. are on reactionary
mass. This attitude will make it
difficult to win over the rank and
file.
In dealing with the MIRA, COM
pany unions, etc., it is not enough
to boost the Metal Workers Union
The question of action committees
grievance committees, shop and de.
partments committees and various
forms of action of the rank and file
should be brought into these articles
