DRIFTS AND RAISES
(Th;s column contributed by Butte
Miners Union No. u



1t was predicted in this column that
the Senate arms investigation would
uncover some fou-sme1ling deals and
would be quietly side-tracked when
the trails began to lead into high places.
We were right on the first count but
wrong on the second and glad of it,.
The trails have already lead into the
offices of the u. S. Army and Navy
and the investigation has not been drop
ped. However a committee has now
been set up by the President to study
ways of taking the profit out of war.
.Of course it is impossible to take the
profit out of wal that is being waged
by a capitalist country. The munitions
makers, the paid %propagandists and all
the other merchants of death" are
bound to have their pound OF flesh.
But even if it were possible to take
the profit out of war, why stop there
Why not strive to abolish war entirely?
But here again, we run into the con-
tradictions, the basic evils of capital
ism. A capitalist economy must ex-
.pand, must find outlets for surplus pro-
ducts and fields for profitable invest
ment. These fields are limited and If
one nation gets more than its share Of
the worlds trade, some other nations
toes are trampled and the seeds Of
war are sown. Right now our Secre-
tary Of Commerce is looking for ex-
port markets for products which could
all be consumed within our own Dor
ders.
1t is an old and well-known capitalist
strategy to foster a spirit Of nation
alism and to create hatred and suspi-
cion OF other nations. The champion
at this sort Of thing is one William
Randolph Hearst whose gutter sheets
can always find material for a war
scare. Remember the and-Germau
campaign in the capitalist press in 1902
That cost the New York and Boston
bankers plenty.
The school-boy of tender years learns
from his textbook the lesson of "My
Country, Right or Wrong" Later on.
he joins the Boy Scouts and learns
that he should uphold and protect our.
American institutions - OF which the
most sacred and hardest to kill is pri-
vate profit and the right TO exploit
your fellow-man. Still later he goes
to college and takes compulsory mill
tary training. He has now become
first-class cannon fofodder, ready to
lay down his life in an imperialist war,
while the Duponts, the Schwabs and
the Morgans reap their millions OF
blood-stained profits.
The working men and women OF the
world have always made the bitterest
sacrifice in war and they can still be
mislead but they are learning, they are
learning.
They see that those countries where
natianalism has become a fetish, such
as Germany and Japan, are the local
Of war danger today. With the
example Of Soviet Russian be-
fore them, they increasingly realize
that universal peace will come only in
a world republic of Socialist states.

A LIMITING
FOREIGN LABOR

PARIS, France.-Seeking to help
French unemployed, which now mum
Der considerably more than at this time
last year, the French Government has
started a policy Of drastic limitation Of
foreign labor. According to the Man
lister Of Labor, about 100000 foreign
workers have left France during the
past two years and about 100000 still
remain. Many OF these are hard to
eliminate, since they are political
refugees, including Russians, Italians
and Germans, with nowhere else to 60.

MANY STATES
New Law Cheers 1920 ohioans.

Ohio added 6,4OO aged persons to its
pension list during October, making a
total of 1920 in receipt of assistance,
NJ. l.. Brown, chief of the State Divis-
ion of Aid for the Aged, announced on
Nov. T.. This number will probably be
increased to 25,000 by the end of No
vember, Mr.. Brown said. The Octo-
Der outlay for pensions amounted to
.$255,0OO.
Tn a review OF the work Of the local
and state bureaus, Mr.. Brown revealed
that l01 ,826 applications had been filed
throughout the state. OF this number,
H,468 have already been investigated,
5,244 were denied, 3,068 Withdrawn, D.
rs are in process of investigation by
the local offices, and 1927 are await
ing action. Almost a thousand appE-
cants died before investigation Of their
appeals for aid.
A bill asking for an extra %appropria-
ton Of $125,O00 for administering the
system was introduced at the current
special session by Representative Hor-
ace S. Keller.
California Groups Help Drive.
With the intense interest in old age
pensions and unemployment insurance
shown during the recent campaign,
Legislation on social insurance is ex-
pected at the coming session of the
legislature, which is to receive the
recommendation of official committees
on unemployment insurance and health
insurance. Liberalization of the pen
sion law, especially the reduction Of the
age limit, will also be sought.
Unemployment insurance measures
will be vigorously supported by the
State League Of Women Voters and
the state branch of the American
Legion, the two organizations have de-
cided. The universal satisfaction with
old age pensions received added proof
when the California Crusaders, an
otherwise r%eactionary group, an
nounced that they will fight for better
pension legislation.
Active cases on the state pension
rolls numbered 1890 on Oct. /. The
aged received an average of 1904 dur
ing the preceding month.
Iowa Pensions Paid Promptly.
First checks to 739 aged Iowans were
sent out by the State Old Age Assist
ance Commission on Nov. 1, when pay
ments under the law were authorized.
The Commission had received 5000 ap-
plications approved by the county
boards at the end of October. Byron
G. Allen, superintendent of the Com
mission, announced that all applica-
tions received before Nov. / will be
retroactive to that date and checks
sent to those approved by the State
for the month Of November.
The law limits allowances to SIS per
month. The average of the checks
sent out was $3.50. Approximately
$500 persons had filed requests for
aid with the county bureaus. General
satisfaction with the law and its op-
Grafton is expressed by both officials
and the general public.

The first step in the conspiracy oc-
cured last Thursday when a contest
action was filed in the district court
Of Helena accusing w. B. Sands Of
violation of the corrupt practices act.
This conspiracy is financed by the or
gained plunderbud Of this state; money
in ample quantities TO influence the
necessary officials has been allotted.
War Chest Is Full
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany spent upwards of 100000 to de-
feat Sands and O'Connell at the polls.
Fooled by the sterling worth Of these
two candidates and an awakened pub
lie opinion, the same war chest has
been filled again to unseat them now
that they have been elected, and to
put corporation tools in the two vital
posts Of corporate control
l.. l.. Galloway, defeated chief justice,
will be again installed in the position
he now holds, if the conspiracy is sue
cessful C.. A. Rasmussen, defeated for
railroad commissioner, will be seated
in O'ConnelIs place. The corrupt prac-
tice act provides that the next highest
candidates viii be awarded the office
when contests of this nature are sue
cessfuL.
The success Of the conspiracy
hinges entirely upon the orpora-
tons ability to put over the Sands
frameup.
The Western Progressive has o n
elusive evidence that the present o n
spiracy has been in process of hatch
ing for weeks. Names of persons in
volved, dates, meeting places, and all
of the details involved are in the pos
session of this paper. Every step in
the conspiracy has been charted and
mapped out and adequately financed.
The FIimsy Charges
A careful investigation of the charges
filed against w. B. Sands reveals them
to be entirely without merit, in fact, in
law or in decency The petition filed
here by w. ID Upton, sets forth that
Sands:
with the intent and purpose to in
duce said voters and electors to vote
for him, the said Sands at various
times and places prior to the election
promised that, if elected, he would
serve as chief justice at a salary of
10000 per year and would not receive
OF accept the salary prescribed by law"
The petition refers to the Inverness
speech when for the first and only
time Sands got Galloway on the same
platform with him. This speech, re-
ported fully in The Western Progress
sive, was Callaway's Waterloo OF the
election. Howled down by the audi
ence, Galloway skunk from the hall, a
defeated candidate. News Of Sands

10 GUIDES URGED
General Assembly Seeks to
Rebuild Old Economic
Structure.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 2l.-A complete
rebuilding of the old American eco
nomic structure, with organized Chris
tianity lighting the way, will be rec
commended before the General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church this
week in one Of the most stirring reso-
lutions 1t ever has received.
The resolution. prepared by Mod
orator John Mcdowell, as secretary Of
the Committee on Social and Indus
trial Relations, names 10 guides" for
the rebuilding process:
!. That new motives besides those
Of money-making and self-interest be
developed in order that we may de-
velop an economic system more con-
siStent with Christian ideals.
Asks Rational Planning.
2. That competition as the major
controlling principle Of our economic
life be re-examined and an attempt
made to secure rational planning in
our economic life.
3. That our natural resources and
economic institutions be considered as
existing for the public good, and such
plans for ownership and control be
developed as will lead to the best use
in the interests of all.
4. That cooperative economic life
be developed on an international scale
both because of the need for peaceful
international relations and for the
fullest development of the worlds re-
sources.
5. That it be clearly recognized that
both employers and employees have the
right to unite in organizations of their
own choosing and bargain collectively
for their own interests.
6. That men should be valued, not
by their material success, but by the
services they render to the commun-
ity, and that the rights of property
are conditioned by the functions
which its holder Is able and willing
to perform in behalf of the COM
munity.
T. That an economic system which
assumes that man is simply an ac-
quisitive animal is untrue to the facts
and that as Christians we are con-
cerned not primarily with the ma
terial riches of the community, but
with its human worth. Nevertheless
we have to remember that men must
exist before they can live, and that
any system which would lower the
economic status of the whole COM
munity would be disastrous in the
end to our higher moral aims.
Active Part Sought.
g. That men and women must be
counted as persons, not as mere
hands: that they must have some
active part in the control of the in
dustry to which their lives are given
g. That as Christians We should
endeaor to give fair opportunity and
equal consideration to all men in
our industrial life, regardless of race
or nationality
10. We record our conviction that
there ought to be universal system
Of unemployment insurance for all
workers.
Church officials made the resolu-
ton public tonight in advance Of the
assembly's national sessions, which
begin here Thursday.
Urging the church to take lead
ing part in shaping the future eco
nomic policies of the Nation, the
resolution adds:
1T is In the arena of economics
that the next battles for Christ must
be fought"
