The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1934-05-04
A Back tabbing Attempt

Apparently new organization 'The Save The Produc-
News Club has been formed in Sheridan county, very
much to the delight of the Manstreete the bankers and
big landlords, who would like to nothing better but
organization in that ready to stab The Pro-
ducerS News IN the back.
On twelve pages of paper closely mimeographed, this
cub is spreading The Story of the Sell Out of The Pro
ducers News This STORY is characterized very well by
the personal attacks people who have long left the
munty by the calling of Names and by its presentation of
the "facts"
And of course the writers of the paper do not sign
sponsbe for does except that James Ostby men
toned president of the club However, since Mr. Ostby
seems have objections that his those
Sheets he not be surprised he measured with the
yardsck trat must be applied to the orgators Of
these vOllminOuS writings.
Jim Ostby seems to forget that the attack the Pro-
ducers News is also attack the working class move
ment general and the Communist Party in particular
But possible that he has not even been asked whether
he would like to have his appear on those sheets We
that such tactics have been used when the United
Front OTooe Defense Committee" formed. Names of
people put the bills who had been asked and
knew nothing about it.
The present attack is launched by individuals who have
several months ago been expelled from the Communist Party
f - rnsso1s These raneoades inst like reneoades at
other Places apparently trying their best to wreck
fhe influence of the onv working class party in this part of
Montana Or what else be the attempted effect of spread
ing stories that The Producers News has Od out For
long the Communist Party has any influence at all in
this part of the country there chance for seout of
the paper either to HaSS any other big landowner
banker but for exactly long time there will be
chance for certain renegades to The Producers News
against the interests of the farmers and workers for their
own individual purposes.
Inc name OF CnarleS H. laylOr appears prominently
and repeatedly in the IL page STORY We positive that
Charlie Taylor has knowledge of this and that he will
the first opportunity to issue statement to that effect
which will be published in The Producers News.
Charles E: Taylor is Communist and he is going
to remain member of the Communist Party of the u S.
This is perhaps not much to the ngs of those individuals
who forced leave the P but is certainly great
advantage the farmers and workers of this country when
of the qualities and cabre of Charles Taylor remains
outstanding member of their vanguard the Communist
Party.
The bacsabbing attempt of the Save The Producers
NnNVC nj of
News needs all its to push ahead 1t is made at
time when the farmers in this territory have every
in the world to stick together and the fight More
than and stronger than before must organize
Here in other communities Fascism is developing
slowly but with certainty The unistaabIe signs be-
evident to several hundred farmers two days ago Only
through closely united 'front.' through perfect organization
and through the most intensive solidarity of all
and exploited farmers and workers stife this de-
veopment of Fascism in Sheridan county
Disunity among ourselves fight in camp will
only accelerate the growth of Fascsm and will give the
bankers and machine companies and landlords excellent
chance to establish the to keep the farm
further suppressed and ensaved.
We have doubt that Mainstreet greatly appreciates
the work of the ''club"
