A General Strike

San Franciscos general strike has come to a
close, but several weeks ago about $1,000 longshore-
men and marine workers on the Pacific Coast went on
a strike in an effort to secure better working condi-
lions. Shipping in the port of San Francisco, particul-
arly, was tied up and boats could not unload their
cargoes.
Complications arose recently when an effort was
made to move freight and the State OF California be-
came involved because it owns a belt railway line
over which cars are supplied terminals. The Govern
or called out troops to prevent strikers from stopping
the operation OF freight cars over the StateoWned
line.
Then the labor forces OF San Francisco retaliated
with their most powerful weapon, calling a general
strike, under which los, 900 union workers quit work In
sympathy with the other strikers and In an effort to
bring pressure to bear in behalf OF the marine work
es. This may involve a serious shortage OF food and
other necessities for the 100000 people living In that
section.
We do not know the merits OF the original strike.
As a rule, we are sympathetic to the cause Of labor
and fully believe In labor's right to strike. However,
on the other hand, striking laborers have no right to
use violence to prevent other men from working Ii
they want to accept jobs
A general strike Is a weapon directed not only
against the employers in, olved in the labor dispute but
mainly against the gen aral population. men, women
and children, and seek by creating general discom-
fort and distress to viii a victory. Under a general
strike, workers who have no complaint Of their own
join with those engated In the PRIMARY strike to en-
force the latter's demands by jeopardizing the safety
OF the general community.
The State of California cannot afford to allow any
group, even one consisting OF 100000 workers, to
create and maintain conditions which imperl the
lives or safety Of more than a million people. a large
number of which are women and children.

You Must Be Eligible

The Western Progressive of Helena, edited by
Louis Penwell. now defendant in a libel suit for $780,,
900 for malicious SANDER. and state house official
mouthpiece. has taken a lesson from Governor LANCER
and has a corner on state advertising.
When publishers of weekly newspapers received
the communication of the state house machine paper,
the Western Progressive, last February they were In
spired with new hope. Surely, they thought, the new
day for the moulders of public opinion had arrived.
This letter boldly announced in the first para
graph. Efforts to secure the ALLEGATION of blocks of
foreign advertising to deserving weekly Montana pub
locations are bringing results and indications are now
apparent that within a few weeks we will be able to
assist you In making desirable contacts.
plans being worked out with manufacturers and
distributors" the letter continued. "caI for the a1loca-
ton of a certain amount for advertising purposes for
Montana, the division then to be made among desig-
mated Montana newspapers.
Then followed a list of questions, the last Of
which were:
"Politics-?
Are you supporting President Roosevelt?
Are you supporting the state administration-7
And there were the fish hooks.
- Whiskey statesmen afege that Immediately upon
their arrival in Helena they are called upon by the
representative of the state house machine paper, who,
by innuendo creates the impression that II a certain
advertising budget is not set up for Montana there is
little hope of the salesman doing any business with
the state liquor board. Some of the statesmen take the
bait and are lead to believe that the advertising is to
be distributed to papers throughout the state where
advertising benefits will naturally accrue to their pro-
ducts. The statesmen allege there is no mistaking the
differences of the state house machine papers repres-
entative.
Curiosity compelled an investigation to find how
many deserving weekly Montana publications" might
be benefitting as a consequence of this Tammany
method shakedown. The results were rather startling.
A check of the last available issue OF II of the
principle weekly newspapers revealed the fact that
but one, the Journal of Havre, was rated as a "deserv-
ing" publication; they carried IL inches of whiskey
advertising. Rather a low percentage OF deserving
publications. Oh yes, the deserving Western Progress
sive. the state house machine publication, carried 81
inches in the same week. Just another good racket.
