Since October, 1929, for four and
one-half years now, Montana, the
state of all others, rich in natural
~sourc in proportion to number of
people, has endured a misery of mind
and body not equalled by that of the
pioneers who braved hostile Indians
and the dire shelterless winters a
thousand miles from railroads. We sit
enchanted in the midst of plenty. In
Ireland, when millions died or fled
during the potato famine, So years
ago, there was ample meat and wheat
in the possession Of the absentee land
lords and their stewards to spread
peace and plenty Ger a smiling land"

les, power companies and the like.
The complex of weakness of juries is
beginning to appear all over the state.
Recent trials in Townsend, Billings,
Baker and elsewhere indicate that
jurors are simply afraid to bring in
verdicts against insurance companies
or railroads, or power companies.
These have always raised quite a cry
that juries are prejudiced against
them. This was never true in the past.
Now juries are simply afraid of them
and act accordingly.
Since January 1, 1888, the insurance
companies have had their own man in
office as Insurance Commissioner or
State Auditor, John j. Holmes. Since
he went into office there has not been
printed for general use any tabula-

OiSdfiLtQ bdDcts
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
1t is clearly evident that no bill has
been introduced in the Congress of the
United States since the Norris-La-
Guardia Injunction Relief Measure
which has aroused the opposition of
manufacturers associations, chambers
of commerce, large corporations and
their paid representatives to the same
extent as has the introduction of the
Wagner-C onnery Disputes Act.
This bill provides that employees
shall have the right to organize and
join labor organizations and engage
in concerted activities for the purpose
of collective bargaining, 1t also stip-
ulates that it will be regarded as an
unfair labor practice for an employer
TO interfere in the exercise of the right
to organize, to refuse to deal with the
chosen representatives of his en-
ployees, or to finance, support or in
terfere in any way in the establish
ment of company unions. ANY EN-
IPLOYER FOUND GUILTY OF AN
UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE SHALL
BE SUBJECT TO A FINE FOR
EACH 0FFENSE.
1t also provides for the establish
ment on a permanent basis of the Ma
tional Labor Board for the settle
ment of industrial disputes.
Company unions are maintained be-
cause companies organize, foster and
finance them. AS Labor well knows,
company unions are established so
that employers may use them to carry
out their plans to exercise economic
and industrial control over their en-
ployees. They are established for the
purpose of defeating the legitimate
aspirations of the workers to organize
and all during the administration of
the National Recovery Act they have
been set up by corporations in order
to prevent workers from enjoying the
right to organize into independent
unions and to bargain collectively
through representatives of their own
choosing, as provided for in Section
Ia of the National Recovery Law.
Because the opponents of this bill,
consisting principally Of manufac-
turers' associations, employers organ
izations Of all kinds, their paid repre-
sentatives, and corporations establish
ed in many industries, are opposing
the Wagner-C onnery Disputes Act as
they never opposed Legislation design
ed to protect and help Labor before, l
am calling upon the Officers and
Members of Organized Labor and
their friends everywhere to become
active Immediately in support of this
measure and to render all service pos
sible in order to bring about the pass
age of the Wagner-C onnery Bill at
this session of Congress.
This is no ordinary contest; it is a
fight of the masses of the people and
their friends for the enactment of a
law which experience has shown is i'm
peratively necessary if Section Ia of
the National Recovery Act is to be
made vital and real to Labor. Cor
porations will fight to the limit in Or
der to protect their company unions;
they resent any interference with
their purpose and policy to spend
large sums of money, if necessary, in
order to establish, administer and
maintain company unions.
Let the Members of Congress
know that the officers and members
of Organized Labor as well as their
friends everywhere want the Wagner
Connery Disputes Act, WITHOUT
OBJECTIONABLE AMENDMENTS,
passed at this session of Congress. The

FOES SUPPORT
SEENF0R NICE

BALTIMORE, Nov. 10.-Mary-
land political observers today con-
coded that, despite the fact that
the next Governor is Republican,
Harry w. Nice, and his legislature
will be strongly Democratic, the
executive has a good chance to
have many of his recommended
tions for modifying the laws
enacted during the coming session.
It is believed that he may be
able to muster sufficient legisla-
tive support to have his proposal
for reducing the cost of automobile
tags to $2-one of his principal
campaign pledges.
While sizeable majorities of
both the house of delegates and
the senate will be Democratic, it
is the view of students of the
situation that many of the legis-
lators will feel that their con-
stituents voted for Mr.. Nice be-
cause of his So auto tax pledge
and other proposals, and for that
reason they will have to approve
the Republican governors recon-
mendationS so as to remain in
the good graces of the people
who elected them.

ON POWER
COSTS READY
BY International News Service

President Roosevelt today was
notified by Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the New York Power Au-
thority, that the trustees of that
body had completed their nation
wide survey of the cost of electric
ity production and would submit a
copy to the White House over the
weekend.
Mr.. Walsh and members of the
committee which has drawn up
the report called on the President.
Mr.. Walsh said he believed it
was the most exhaustive report on
electricity production costs ever
made in this country.
He said it related principally to
New York, but field surveys had
been made on the Pacific Coast,
in the South, and elsewhere
throughout the United States to
draw comparisons. He added
that the committee felt sure that
using the report, any city or dis
trict engineer would be able to
tell the cost of electric power
production.

EXHIBIT OPENS
HERE NOV.2
Thomas LittIepage Announces
Show for Bus Center; Will
Be Biggest of Its Kind

What is claimed to be the big
gest building exhibit ever held in
Washington will be staged here
beginning two weeks from now, it
was announced today by Thomas
P, Littlepage, general chairman Of
the Washington Better Housing
Campaign, which will sponsor the
show.
Mr.. Littlepage said the exhibit,
to be known as the Better Hous-
ing Exposition, will be held for
two weeks, beginning November
26, in 10000 square feet of floor
space, at the bus center of Wash
ington, on Pennsylvania Avenue
and Seventh Street Northwest.
Donated BY Owners
The space has been donated by
the owners, through arrangements
with John w. Townley, Secretary
treasurer of the Bus Center Cor"
poration.
Dozen of local firms in the
home construction and equipment
field are expected to display their
wares. The purpose is to give a
graphic exhibition of the benefits
to property owners that can be
gained from repairing and improv-
ing homes under the "moderniza-
ton" loans being granted by local
financial institutions under the
rules of the Federal Housing Ad-
miniStration.
Mr.. Lit. lepage said:
"AIthOugh the modernizatiOn
drive has already proved more
than successful here, / believe
the exposition will be a further
incentive to property renova-
ton.
SPEND S1,5OO,OOO
cover S1,5OO,OOO has been
spent for the purpose here in
the past two months. As the
amount increases, business be-
comes better and employment
rises. But the principal ad-
vantage is to the property
owner, who has greater COM
fort, safety and beauty in his
home"
Banks report a steady increase
in the number of "moderniza-
ton" loans granted here. The
loans, ranging from 500 to
$4,000, can be repaid in monthly
installmentS over period of
from one to five years.
Rates on the loans are much
lower here than in most other
cities of the United States, due
to a recent ruling made by the
District Bankers Association.

"Stick 'em up!"
Instead, Bill dived down the

Bill fired one barrel into the

BLOOD IS USED

G.N.SO Using cured patients to

John Claxton Cuttings today was
on record with the assertion that
tests indicated the blood from

be used to lessen the severity of
attacks of the disease and may
possibly prevent them.
DR.. Cuttings, who is professor
of pediatrics in the University of

cine, recited his findings at the
closing session of the five-day
convention of the International
Medical Assembly here. He eX-
planned:

which at present gives promise

once paralysis has set in.
"Of much importance to the
communities at large is the use
of parents whole blood serum,
or convalescent serum at times
of epidemic as a preventive.
"There is definite reason to
