life? What does the medical profession owe
the Anaconda Company that it allows the Cham
Der of Commerce to act as its mouth-piece. We
venture to say that it isn't the physician whose
Hippocratic oath hasn't become a hypocritc
oath; who cares for the families of the poorly
paid miner, who brings the babes of the unem-
ployed into the world without thought of COM
pensation, knowing there can be none.
Who are the attorneys who allow the Cham
Der of Commerce to speak for them. Are they
the attorneys who have fought through the
Courts of Montana trying to secure a just COM
pensation for the miners who have been injured
in their occupation after a Corporation has tried
to evade paying them the compensation for which
they contribute each month? Are they the at
torneys who have fought, without fee to secure
Justice for the workers of Butte, even during
times of prosperity? Who are the attorneys for
whom the Chamber speaks or what are their
retaining fees?
Does the Chamber of Commerce speak for the
Clergy of Butte? God Forbid Does the clergy
speak for a Corporation who would force star
walton upon their Pensioners through armed
gunner, gangsters they would be called in other
sections of the land? Does the clergy speak for
a corporation that made some IS millions Of dol
lars off the blood and lives Of American youth
during the world war? Does the clergy apolog-
ize for a Corporation who pays its president a
quarter of a million dollars a year or more at
the expense OF the health and suffering of men
who make So cents an hour? We doubt it. If
the Chamber Of Commerce is the voice of God
for the Butte Clergy, Catholic, Jew or Protes-
tant we can only pray for a wave of atheism to
strike America.
Who is the Chamber of Commerce? Who are
the business men and professional men repres-
ented in the Chambers Opinion of the strike and
Anaconda Company? Who is the Chamber OF
Commerce? Whitley had a name for it.

An Unwarranted Attack

The determination of certain big business bal
lyhooers opposed to President Roosevelt's Re-
covery Program to falsify the facts regarding
the enforcement of the labor section of the Nat
ional Industrial Recovery Act is well illustrated
in an editorial by B. c.. Forbes in Forbes's Mag
azine, of which he is the publisher, attacking the
National Labor Board for its recent decision or
dering the Fifth Avenue Coach Company Of New
York City to obey the Act and cease intimidat-
ing their employees with the object of preventing
them from exercising their rights under it.
AS the basis for his attack Mr.. Forbes alleges
that the coach company recently discharged GER
tain employees on the ground that their work
was unsatisfactory" and that they we're inef-
%ficient." He adds that outside labor agita-
tors" claimed these inefficient men had been
dropped because of their desire to bring an out
side union" into the company's affairs and i'm
plies that the Labor Board used the weight of
its authority to put the alleged inefficient" men
back on the job.
Mr.. Forbes displays a profound ignorance Of
the facts of this case which even a casual exam
nation of the record reveals.
In its decision the National Labor Board de-
clared:
Montana labor news., 1934-05-17

serve the statute law which prescribes that en-
ployes shall have the right, without interference,
coercion, or intimidation by employers, to or
game in bona fide labor unions and freely choose
their representatives for collective bargaining
As an opponent of the labor section of the
National Recovery Act Mr.. Forbes is, of course,
free to attack the National Labor Board, which
enforces it by authority of the President of the
United States. But it is automatic that he should
base his attacks on the easily ascertained facts,
which he evidently did not do in his screed
against the board for its decision in the coach
company case.

I~ndividualism Dying,
CoIIectiveism Coming,
Professors Say

NEW YORK-(FP)-The age Of
i~ndividualism in government and econ
omy is ending and a new age of col
lectiveism is emerging.
This is the conclusion, after five
years of study, of a commission Of out
standing professors and school super
intendents making up a national cross
section Of educational opinion. The
Commission on Social Studies in the
Schools was set up by the American
Historical Association in January, 1929,
following plans which had been under
discussion three years.
A group Of four, led by Edmund Z.
Day, director of the social science di-
vision of the Rockefeller Foundation,
oppose the report which is signed by
10, including Charles A. Beard, retiring
president Of the American Historical
Assn. and DR.. George S. Counts Of
Columbia University. A score of other
educators helped in formulating the
report.
The new collectiveism may involve
the limiting or s%upplanting of private
property by public property or it may
entail the preservation of private
property distributed among the mass
es," the report says. "The emerging
age is primarily an age of transition,
marked by numerous and severe ten
sions arising out OF the trend toward
integrated economy and the tradition
al practices inherited from the passing
age OF individualism. Illustrative are
p~rivation in the midst Of plenty, vio-
lations of trust, gross inequalities in
income and wealth, widespread ban
ditry, the maladjustment of produc-
ton to distribution" among many
others.

A Sound Decision

The decision of Justice Jennings Bailey of
the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
awarding the receiver of the Park Savings Bank
a judgment for $4,000 against the American
Surrey Company of New York is a victory for
the depositors and a judicial affirmation of the
legal responsibility of corporations which insure
banks against loss from defalcations by officers
and other employees and then attempt to evade
fulfillment of their obligations.
The American Surety Company entered into
a contract with the bank guaranteeing faithful
performance of their duties by the banks Of
ficers. In March, 1888, the executive officer
committed suicide. After his death a shortage
of approximately 81 100000 was discovered. The
bank was declared i~nsolvent and the receiver in
stituted suit to recover on the bond.
Officers of the surety company refused to pay
the $4,000, basing their action on the claim that
at the time the insurance contract was made the
banks charter had expired, and, therefore, the
banks officers acted beyond the scope of their
authority.
Justice Bailey reduced this contention to zero,
He said:
an my opinion it is immateriaI whether
the charter of the plaintiff had expired or
not, or whether or not, under the laws of
the State of It's incorporation, its officers
had the power to continue to conduct a
banking business; they did so, and the con-
tract in question was entered into between
the parties in the light of the knowledge by
the defendant of the nature of the business
conducted by the plaintiff.
"The defendant cannot now say that the
plaintiff had no power to enter into the con-
tract by which the defendant insured the
employees of the plaintiff engaged in a bank
ing business, where the circumstances show
the character of the business and the liabil-
iy covered by the policy"
1t is a frequent practice for groups of busin-
ess men to incorporate as surety companies. in
sure banks against loss from the dishonesty of
officials and other employees and then use every
technicality which legal experts can trump up
as justification for their refusal to pay the in
surance when defalcations occur.
Justice Bailey's decision blocks at least one
surety company from achieving this object.
Barring the possibility of appeal to the higher
courts, the $4,000 judgment will be distributed
by the receiver among the depositors of the in
solvent bank.

Milk Investigation.

The large milk interests of the east
were successful in their lobby to pre-
vent the Milk Investigation Resolu-
ton from coming before the house un-
der unanimous consent. Although the
speaker promised to recognize me to
move suspension of the rules for pas
sage of this measure, he did not get
an opportunity to do so. However, we
are making a great endeavor to get
this bill under a special rule where it
may be passed by a majority vote Of
the house, whereas a two-thirds vote
is necessary under suspension. The
rules committee will give us a hearing
on our request for this rule, and we
hope to report progress at a later
date.

THE MONTANA LABOR NEWS

"The facts presented at the hearings show
that in August the company began an active
campaign to prevent union organization by
the Amalg amated Association of Street &
Railway Workers and Motor Coach Employ
es, Local 994, the complainant union in this
case.
Between August ii and the beginning of
November nineteen active union members,
including all the officers of the union, were
discharged.
The Regional Labor Boards finding that
these nineteen employees were discharged
because of their union activity is amply sup
ported by the evidence
Later, in their determination to prevent or
ganization of their employees in a bona fide union
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
officials of the company were placed at the door
Of the hall where union meetings were held and
union men were Swallowed by company detec-
tives.
In March when the New York Regional Labor
Board held an election for collective bargaining
representatives a foreman warned employees that
they had better keey away from the polling
places and on the day Of the election, according
to the board, higher company officials station
ed themselves in parked cars near such polling
places in such a manner that employees coming to
vote would see them on watch"
OF course this terrorism resulted in the cleo
ton being a farce, only twelve employees out of
one thousand eligible to vote actually casting
ballots. Acting upon this evidence covering facts
extending over a number Of months, the National
Labor Board said
"The company by its conduct has restrain
ed the employees from exercising their rights
to organize and choose representatives for
the purpose of collective bargaining. 1t has
by its actions nuIlified the rights granted to
its employees by the National Industrial Re-
covery Act"
The Board, therefore, issued a ruling that the
company ~reinstate the employees which the evid-
ence showed had been discharged for their union
activity and cease annoying, watching, and in
timidating" them with the object of hindering
the exercise of their rights under the Recovery
Act, ordered an election of collective bargaining
representatives held under the supervision Of the
New York Regional Labor Board, and declared
that the company should bargain collectively
with the representatives SO chosen.
In condemning this essentially Just and equ1t-
able ruling of the National Labor Board to com
pei the Fifth Avenue Coach Company to recog-
nize the workers rights under the labor section
of the National Recovery Act, Mr.. Forbes waves
both of his editorial hands high over his head
and shouts
as America threatened with the spawn
ing Of a colossal political bureaucracy bent
upon destroying the methods, the system,
the practices which have enabled American
industry and business to reach world leader
ship? * : Do the majority of American
citizens favor surrendering their inherited
and heretofore cherished rights, freedom,
liberty, to dicatorial bureaucratic? ?"
All of which vociferous exhibition of mental
inebriety is caused by the determination of the
National Labor Board that the officials of a
coach company in the city of New York shall OBJ

chine to the employe by means Of
shortened hours and increased wages
is a fundamental cause of our lack Of
prosperity. The American public would
like to see a properly constituted COM
mission direct the spreading of benefits
to the great mass of girls who were
thrown out of work when the dial
system was installed, and handle other
matters of vital import. A greater ele-
ment OF justice would no doubt result.

Why You Should
 Never Cut a Corn

If you are troubled with corns or callouses, do not run the risk of blood poison by pairing them. Stnfis~ ties show that many infections have occurred from this seemingly innos cent practice of pairing c0rns.
 simply go f0 your druggist and get a few cents worth of Ice- -Mint. rub little on any painful corn or eailouH. Immediately the pain will disappear and in a short time the corn or callons will looHen and lit on easily with tho flngers--ro0t and aii---leaving the Nurr0undlnE AiEln in healthy normal condition.
 This, together with the fact that lee Mint Oyercomes such nfferti0na as sore, tired. aching, pulled or burning feet aud makes them eoofs easy and comfortable. is probably responsible for the hearty endorses ment given lf by druggists.
 To rid One's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, sorn between fhe toes or painful eailonNes in Nurh H pleasant and safe way. makes it seem the height of folly for anyone f0 pare a eorn and people are warned f0 stop it.
