the bitter rivalry of the sandots into their
league careers. Both were catchers, fact
which intensified the competition.
Bills face was sour that afternoon as he
went to the park. wonderful way for
man to spend the day! Working under the
boiling hot sun all afternoon while everybody
else was having a good time! And Rosie was
going to walk with some old lady from the
hotel. To think she would miss a Fourth of
July double header! His bronze face was
troubled. Was it always going to be like this
he going about his affairs and Rosie about
hers? Well, if it going to be like that, he
might as well do his affairs in his own way!
There was a hint of a swagger, a sullen de-
fiant swagger as Bill went out on the field for
the first inning. Curly Cullinan. tall and
as broad shouldered as jerks, was second at
the bat. Big Bills bushy eyebrows bristled
when he saw the enemy approaching.
"How's old Gentleman jerks today!" Curly
greeted his fellow townSman suavely.
Whats that?" growled Bill. "All right,

from a comfort to him.
1t wouldn't last Bill told himself She
couldn't stay away from the games much
longer. Day by day he watched for the re-
turn of the saucy red hat to the box behind
the home plate as he earnestly strove TO be
Chesterfield on the diamond.
1t than week before the Roam
ers noted there was anything wrong with Bill.
But it wasn't until runner was called safe in
one of the games with Howell and Bill didn't
protest that even Bannigan commenced to
worry. Every one had looked to Big Bill jerks.
He had started true to form. He flung off
his cap his mask; then quite suddenly he
stopped and put his armor again. His
lips were moving but no one heard what he
was saying.
"One-two- three -four-about as safe as a
button IN a laundry that guy! I had him
nailed before he started. I'd like to-one-
two-three- four five"
The Roamers returned to Rockton and went
off again the road They few games
and lost many. From the second position IN
the league they went to third and fourth,
finally fifth. Bannigan fuming because of the
poor showing. couldn't put the responsibility
on any one man. on any one cause.
And Big Bill jerks? Still the gentleman.

Bill didn't notice any lessening in his pop

off his mask and ran backward to catch the
ball practically with the tips of his fingers, he
listened pleasurably for the thunderous appre-
citation that should be his and scowled when
he didn't receive it. OF course, there was
applause for few could sit still after witnessing
a catch like that, but it didn't shake the

S. Students Against War,
Warne Says

NEW YORK.-(FP)-"The students
OF this country are beginning to see
the light" according to Colston E.
Warne, professor of economics at Am
herst college.
In 1917, he said, students became
willing soldiers overnight, and the
campuses Of the country resembled
military camps. At the present time,
he stated, there is considerable senti-
ment against wal as a means of set
Ting international disputes on the part
Of college students, and this anti-war
feeling seems to be growing.
Other speakers on the program in
cluded Theodore Dresser, famous nov
elist; Rev. William B. Spofford of the
Church League for Industrial Democ-
racy, and Ann Burlak, organizer for
the National Textile Workers Union.
The meeting was held as a sendoff to
New York delegates leaving for the
Second U. S. Congress Against War
and Fascism at Chicago, Sept. $3.50.

Labor Board Would
Avoid Mediation Work


for adjusting labor disputes is dis
cussed in detail in the report Of the
National Labor Relations Board to
Pres. Roosevelt, made public Sept. rs
and covering the month ended Sept. 9.
The board reports, on the basis Of its
experience, that it cannot divorce itself
absolutely from mediation, but that it
could not generally act as a mediator
without destroying its usefulness as a
quasi-judicial body"
The N. L. r. B., in calling for a spe-
cial board to deal with the textile
strike, had already told the president
that it did not consider it advisable to
engage generally in mediation work
lest its reputation for judicial impair
TALLY become impaired. But in prac-
tice it has repeatedly felt impelled to
mediate.
Thus in 6 out of the 81 cases which
we have formally heard during the
past two months" says the report,
"the real differences between the par
ties were so apparently slight that we
thought it worth while to attempt
mediation, and we were able to do this
without an undue expenditure Of time
and without having to abandon a
strictly judicial attitude" Similarly,
the board brought the two sides to-
gether in the aluminium strike in infor-
NAL discussions. But such instances, il
says, are rare.
Limitation as to mediation work.
however, do not apply to the regional
boards, according to the N. L. R. B.
"The key to the successful enforce
ments of Section 7(a) lies in the prop
er organization Of the 10 Regional
Labor Boards" it says. Zone Of our
principal detectives has been to
strengthen these boards"
For this purpose, the N. L. R. B
has decided ito centralize the respon-
sibility for the functioning of each
regional board upon a full-time paid
director selected by and working under
the close supervision of the national
board"
In regard to establishment Of indus
trial boards under particular NRA
codes, the N. L. R. B. takes the view
that "as a general principle, no indus.
trial boards should be set up except
where the workers are substantially
organized in unions, and where the in
dustry is not SO far-flung geographic
cally as to require the creation Of
elaborate and expensive regional ma
chinery for the handling Of com
plants"

POWER COMPANY
CAMPAIGNS AGAINST
JERRY 0'CONNELL
Reports Claim Montana Power Con
Quoting House to House Campaign.

The Montana Power Company and
the Utilities of Montana are conduct
ing a vigorous campaign against the
election Of Jerry ]. O'Connell as Rail
road Commissioner. The Editor OF the
Labor News was given an hours dis
course in the Montana Power Com
pany Office on the lack Of ability on
the part Of O'Connell and the fair treat
ment the utilities are giving the Con
sumer. He was told that O'Connell
was a young upstart who knew moth
ing Of the problem and was only using
his attack as a means of election. 1t
was an interesting discourse and was
certainly enlightening as it showed the
method the Company is using.
1t was reported to the Central Coun-
Gil that the Power Company was at
tempting to intimidate all of its en-
ployees by threatening them with un-
employment if O'Connell were elected.
1t was also stated that the Company
was threatening its stock holders by
saying that if O'Connell were elected
they would receive no dividends. They
did not tell the stockholders why the
Company had to borrow some two mil
lion dollars to pay the last dividends.
Surely they cannot lay the lack OF those
actual dividends to O'Connell.
1t was also reported, a week ago, that
the Power Company was conducting a
house to house campaign against O'Con-
nell in many Of the smaller communities
in Montana.
If O'Connell is to be elected it will
have to be the workers and the farm
ers of this State who will have to do
it. They are the ones who will bene-
fit most by O'Conneil being on the
Commission. The Anaconda Company
is opposed to him, the Power Compan-
les want him defeated as do the rail
roads and other Utilities. That is rea-
son enough why every worker and
farmer should work for his election.
Jerry doesn't have much money to
make a snowy campaign he does not
have the whole hearted support of his
party machinery; he cannot afford to
pay men and women to conduct a
house to house canvass for him. Mr.,
WORKER AND Mr.. FARMER,
|O'CONNELL is DEPENDING UPON
YOU, HIS WORKING CLASS FRI
ENDS, TO SUPPORT HIM CAM
PAIGN FOR HIM AND ELECT

San Francisco, Calif.-The "fireside'
talk of President Franklin D. Roosevelt
over the radio, in which he stated he

Board has ruled that four employees of

should be reinstated. The regional
board had decided May % that only
one Of the workers was thus discrimi-

Three of the workers were officials
of Department and Furniture Store
Drivers Local Union 6, and all of
them active in its affairs. They had
worked for the company for from 4 to
Is years.
Company officials ~contradicted each
other in ascribing reasons for the fir
ing Of these workers. The board notes
that "cross-examination gravely inn
pugned the credibility of the manager
and the superintendent, principal wit

Murray Leaves On
Campaign Tour

Before leaving on his campaign tour
throughout Montana, James E. Muir
ray, Democratic Nominee for the short
term in the Senate, dropped in at the
Labor News Office to discuss some of
the problems of the day and extend to
Labor his appreciation for all it is do
ing for him in his campaign.
Murray stated that present events
were fast proving that this country
could not exist with half or more of
its population living on the border-line
of poverty and starvation. He con-
demned the pleas Of the opposition
that the budget be balanced, "The
feeding of our people and the reduction
Of the ranks of the unemployed is
more important than the balancing Of
the budget" said Murray. 1--WE must
make this u first task, regardless of
the cost" Murray laid most OF the
blame for present conditions upon the
long hours of Labor and the unequal
distribution of wealth. IF elected"
he stated, 81 will do all in my power to
work for a more equal distribution Of
wealth and will support all legislation
that will increase taxes on high in
comes as we'll as inheritances. | will
also work to the end OF securing a six
hour day for the workers Of this ma
ton and the guarantee to workers OF
a wage sufficient to maintain them
selves and their families on an Ameri-
can Standard of Living"
Mr.. Murray also said that he would
not be in Butte again until a few days
before election and that he was depend
ing upon his friends in Butte to carry
on for him in his home town.
