dSHllBlOnS ~ -
October 20, 1884.
TO ALL ORGANIZED LABOR
IN MONTANA
Greetings:
Mr.. James E. Murray is a candidate
in Montana for United States Senator
for the short term. After a careful
investigation Of his attitude toward La
Dor | can unhesitatingly say that it is
favorable.
Every evidence points to determined
efforts in the next session of Congress
to attempt the passage of bills that
will be inimical to Labor. For that
reason we are urging our membership
to vote for those candidates who will
be in favor of remedial legislation.
As you have been informed the
American Federation Of Labor has in
dorsed the candidacy Of Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler for reelection for the
long term. If organized labor and its
friends do their utmost to elect these
two candidates, there is no doubt Of
their election. In that event Montana
will have t@o Senators who can be re-
lied upon to protect its interests and
those OF the people generally.
l suggest that committees be ap-
pointed to aid in his campaign and that
individual members inform their sym
pathetic friends to vote for the election
OF Mr.. Murray,
With best wishes and kindest re-
CARDS, l am,
Fraternally yours,
WILLIAM GREEN,
President,
American Federation Of Labor.
Note This is President Green's
1884 Endorsement for U. S. Senator,

LEST WE FORGET
los. MONAGHAN

The workers, in going to the polls next Tuesday, should
not forget the fine work done in Washington by Congress
man Monaghan, in behalf of the strikers. 1t was Joe that
stuck in Washington until a few weeks before the Primaries
and bounded the relief offices and others in behalf of the
strikers in Butte. It was Joe that kept in constant telegrap-
hc communication with the strikers in order that he might
have up to the minute information regarding conditions in
Butte and thereby render all possible assistance. DON'T
FORGET MONAGHAN EXT TUESDAY

MONEYS fight for freedom was car
ried to the U. S. Supreme Court when
a motion to be allowed to file a pc
tition for a writ of habeas corpus was
presented by his attorneys. They ar

was framed with perjured testimony,
having been convicted without due pro-

NOTICE !

In order that the Labor Rela-
tons Board provided for in the
agreement with the Anaconda
Company may be organized, the
thirteen crafts with employees on
''the hill" are asked to nominate one
member of their Union as a candi-
date for this committee. Nominal
tions are to be sent to the Central
Council by next Tuesday evening.
The Council will supervise the cleo
ton. Five of those nominated are
to be elected.

HARRY FREEBOURN

Remember the Gale trial? Let us hope that Labor's
memory is not SO short lived. If you remember well it wasn't
a Gale trial 1t was Weir and FREEBOURN on trial and
their only crime was b~efrending the worker. F~reebourn's
Labor Record as County Attorney needs no comment. 1t has
always been 100 per cent for Labor and the common worker,
whether during time of strike or peace. KEEP FREE

"Well, it sounds crazy to me, but
Scurlach claimed he thought the

Listen Carlotta.' They say it's
one of the songs Tracy King used
to sing. Kinda funny, isn't it?"
Bannister agreed that it was. He
arose and strolled to the press room,
but there was no one about. For
half an hour longer he waited. Nc
Neal did not appear and at the end
of that time Bannister grew restless
and left the building.
He walked toward Sixth street

other reason. A clock in the win

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

nAVID BANNlSIEH was late
II coming to breakfast next
morning and, when he did, he
nawdled over his food.
To his aunt's questions about the
King murder case he gave sketchy
answers. Kate Hewlett, not to be
ignored. persisted in her questioning
and finally Bannister retreated up
stairs TO his room.
There he sat, smoking one cigaret
after another. He decided to hunt
for an old tobacco pouch he had
somewhere and rummaged through
his luggage. The tobacco pouch was
not found. Bannister came across
a photograph in the search-a
photograph in a leather frame,
showing a pretty girl. smiling. He
placed the picture on the desk be-
fore him and studied it.
Adele was not beautiful. Even in
the days when he had been most in
love with her, Bannister had never
considered her that. Hers were not
the perfect classic features. Her
eyes, for instance, slanted ever so
slightly. Her cheekbones were too
high. Nevertheless, she was an ex-
tremely attractive young women.
Bannister picked up the photo
graph. Devilishly attractivel And
heartleSs and unprincipled, a slave
to her own ambitions. Adele was
all of those things. She took a
mans heart, played with it like
toy. using it for her purposes
Bannister sprang to his feet. He
crossed the room and STROBE back
again. Why should he condemn

alike. He was the one to be con-
demned, because he was fool. He

he couldn't do that. 1t was the
one thing he couldn't do. He re-
membered the promise he had
given. They'll never hear about

to make such a promise but, haV-
ing made it, he would keep 1t.
Bannister stared at the picture
on the desk before him and his
eyes hardened. He'd been a fool
but that was ended. Adele had de-
ceived him. So had the girl who
called herself Juliet France. Well,
from now on it would be different
story.
Bannister ate lunch and rode
downtown on a street car. He did

But he wasn't. His feelings, since
he had seen Juliet France that
morning. had undergone a complete
metamOrphosis. He knew now that
she had lied to him, deliberately
deceived him, trying TO play on his
sympathy. She had told him one
story and the police another.
He thought of the girl in the
green suit again and a single word
formed itself in his mind-"Mur-
deress."

III Bank Relief Blocked Unless Petition Is Filled

How long will the members of the House permit them
selves to be denied their right to vote matters in
which they and their constituents are interested?
That question is made pertinent and important by the
refusal of the socaed eaders of the House to permit
vote on any kind of legislation designed to free the
deposits now frozen in closed banks.
Clearly there is large, if not overwhelming senti
nen in the House for the enactment of such legislation
BUT IT SEEMS EQUALLY CLEAR THAT A
SMALL. COTERIE OF "LEADERs' IS DETER
MINED, FOR REASONS NOT GIVEN, TO BLOCK
"A VOTE ON ANY OF THE MANY BILLS WHICH
HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED WITH THIS PUR-
POSE IN MIND.
The members of the House, in order to prevent
small group from controlling all legislation, have
adopted rule under which it is presumably possible to
force vote on any bill which has been introduced
THAT RULE, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN SHOWN
The Washington times., 1934-05-12

IN THE FIGHT ON THE MCLEOD BANK PAY-OFF
BILL TO BE MERE PLAYTHING THE PUR-
POSE OF THE RULE HAS BEEN DEFEATED BY
SHREWD PARLIAMENTARY TACTICS AND, IN
STEAD OF ASSURING THE RIGHT OF THE MEM
BERSHIP TO VOTE, THE RULE HAS BEEN USED
FOR JUST THE CONTRARY PURPOSE.
The proponents of bank relief legislation led by Rep
resentative Mcleod, again attempting to obtain
their rights by exercising the same rule.
Many members of the House do not seem to realize
that only by making that rule effective can the mem
bershp be allowed to register it's opinion on the bank
relief legislation.
By signing the petition the Mcleod bill members
of the House be assured of vote on this great re-
covery proposal at this session.
Those who sign the petition do not, of course bind
themselves to accept the Mcleod bill as written They
do not in fact bind themselves to vote for any
kind of bank legislation.

and for the maintenance Of law
and order there for another
decade.
Still Our Responsibility
It will be much more difficult
to discharge this responsibility
under a Philippine government
than it has been under the pres
ent form of government. Under
the present government at
Manila, this country has author
ity commensurate with it's re-
sponsibility throughout the archi'
pelago. The governor general,
a majority of the insular su'
preme court and the auditor are
Americans nominated by the
President and confirmed by the
Senate of the United States.
This Government also COM
mands the Philippine constabu-
larry.
After the Philippine people
take over the executive and ju-
dicial branches Of government
and the sovereignty Of the
United States is represented at
Manila chiefly by a high COM
missioner, we shall lose none of
our responsibility for keeping
order within the islands and
protecting them from outside at
tack until they are finally set
adrift twelve, fifteen or twenty
years hence. But in the mean
time we shall be left in the dan
gerous position of retaining be-
fore the world a responsibility
that may at any time severely
test our authority to discharge it.
Need For Strong Navy
A cruise of the American fleet
to the Philippines in the sum.
mer Of 1885 would be the SYM
Dol Of American determination
not to run away from its re.
Sponsibility in the Philippines
while the American flag flies at
Manila over the office Of the
American high commissioner.
This demonstration Of American
purpose would serve to allay -
prehension within the islands.
It would also strengthen the in
fluences in Japan which are
striving to keep alive some spark
of parliamentary government, in
spite of the ascendancy of the
military wing.
Meantime. the Presidents
cruise into the Pacific this sum-
mer. his inspection of our de.
fenses throughout the Hawaiian
Islands, his program for giving
the people of that territory a
truly American government and
his report to Congress and the
country upon his return will
serve to focus the attention Of
the American people upon the
fact that the peace of the Pa.
cific depends in no small part
on swiftly building up the
American Navy to equality with
the strongest.

SPY SCARES

pretty sure that the government
Of that country has been
naughty and is trying to give
the people something else to
think about for a minute or
two.
"O-o-oh! Look over, there!"
the government is saying. "See
dat dreat bid spy!" And, while
the public is looking, it tries
to cram a bunch of incriminat-
ing letters and contracts down
the drain. pipe. It's an old gag,
but a good one.
OF course. every government
has spies in every other coun-
The Washington times., 1934-05-12

ing "spy-ring! spy-ring!" why
can't individuals work the same
strategy. There must be some
spies in your own neighborhood
that you could use in a pinch.
Let us say that you are due
home for dinner at seven.
What with one thing and that
other thing. you are delayed
until possibly one-thirty in the
morning, just too late for the
roast lamb. You don't want
any dessert.
What did you think we were

Woman. barely opening her
mouth to say it.
Don't you say a word. Just
look serious.

try, and every other country
knows about them. It is merely
a form of international courtesy,
like exchange professors, So
long as the spies don't actually
block traffic or blow up the
newer buildings. they can snap
their cameras and rattle their
blueprints to their hearts con-
tent. In fact, they give a rather
nice cosmopolitan air to the
streets.
