Alfred M. Bingham, who will adj
dress a meeting of Farmers and Work
ers, May 5, was born in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, in 1905. His father,
who later became United States SEN
ator from Connecticut, was at that
time teaching history at Harvard.
Bingham studied at Groton school and
subsequently at Yale. He secured his
r. A. It Yale in 1927 and his LIB.
in 1880, when he was admitted to the
Connecticut bar. Without entering the
practice of the law he spent the next
two years abroad, travelling in the
Far East, in Soviet Russia, in Italy,
Germany and other European coun-
tries, while writing as correspondent
for a number of New England papers.
Returning to this country in the sum
mer of 1882 he Immediately began
preparations for a magazine of adj
vanced political views, and the first
number of Common Sense appeared in
December, with Selden Rodman as
co-editor.
During the short period of time
Common Sense has been in the field it
has won wide acclaim as an outstand-
ing critical monthly. 1t has not only
advocated a new social order with the
elimination of the system of "compe-
tition for private profit" but has
taken an active part in promotion of
a new political movement. Bingham
became a member of the executive
committee Of the League for hide
pendent Political Action, of which DR..
John Dewey is the leader, early in
1888, and was active in the promotion
of the Farmer-Labor Political Fedora
ton, which was launched in Septem-
Der, 1888. The Federation, formed
Ito unite the forces opposed to cap
italism," is stimulating the formation
of radical third parties along Ameri-
can lines in the various states and ma
tionally. Former Congressman Thos.
r. Amlie of Wisconsin is chairman of
the Federation and Bingham is its ex-
ecutlVe secretary.
Bingham is becoming widely known
as a speaker in various parts Of the
country. He has a forceful and
straightforward delivery and a thor
ough knowledge of his field.
Bingham will address a Butte mass
meeting, Saturday, May 5, at 8 p. m.
at Carpenters Hall, This meeting is
being held under the auspices of the
Farmer-Labor Progressive League.
On Friday night at 8 p. M, Bingham
will meet the Farmer-Labor Progress
sive League. All members are urged
to be present.

AMERICAN, BRIT
ISH RIVALS IN
RACE

BERLIN Ct. l.. SHERMAN re-
armament has become a matter Of in
ternational competition. American
and British arms manufacturers are
already busily securing their share in
the incessant rearming of Hitler Ger
many. They are bending every ounce
of influence and energy towards these
ends.
1t seems that the American Wright
Motor Company was the first claimant
to the German pie. The company has
opened offices in Berlin which are in
constant touch with the German mill
tary and naval authorities. According
to IT'S informations the Wright Com
pany was first approached by the Ger
man air ace Udet during his recent
visit to the United States. These
contacts were apparently so fruitful
that considerable orders for airplane
motors have been placed with the
Wright Company.
Then, the British arms firm, Wick
ers-Armstrong, took the American
cue. Negotiations between the Wick
ers-Armstrong representatives and
high officials of the German military
staff are already under way. 1t is
expected that they will be brought to
a successful conclusion at the end of
April. Their fate will be largely de-
termined by the outcome of the pres
ent momentous negotiations between
the international debtors and the Ger
man government.
German military and political cir
cles view the race between these COM
petitors with a great deal of amuse-
ment. Little as the Germans may
know about international psychology
they fully realize that they have only
to gain and nothing to lose. They
understand, furthermore, that as long
as international arms industries are SC
keenly competing for the German mar
ket, that they will not permit too many
or too severe restrictions on the mill
tary ambitions of Germany.

A.C.M HAS IGNORED REQUESTS or EN- -OYEES FOR WAGE INCREASE
INT is TO CONTINUE STARVATION POLICY
DESPITE THEIR HUGE EARNINGS
PREFER PAUpERIzATION OF BUTTE CITIzENRY

As we go to press there is little to
indicate hat the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company is going to offer to
meet with their employees in order
to settle wage and hour differences.
All information received seems to
point to the fact that the Anaconda
Company intends to shut down its
mines, lockout the miners and at
tempt TO starve them into accepting
the Anaconda terms. Information re-
ceived by the Labor News indicates
that the mines will be shut down on
Saturday night and some authorize
tive reports state that the shut down
is to be for three months at least.
Reports have also come to this Of
flee to the effect that the company
has approached samplers and shift
bosses, asking them to act as pump
men, hoistmen and gunner during the
shutdown. So far these workers
have refused to ''scab' upon the job
and they are to be commended on the
action they have taken. Miners at
work state that their shift bosses are
behind them in the coming struggle
and for the first time are showing an
active sympathy toward the miners.
This should indicate to the company
that the spirit of the people of Butte
has moved with the spirit of the
times. The company has held domin-
ion Over the State Of Montana and
the City of Butte for years and all
the citizens of the state and city have
recei ed 70. their labor has been slav-
cry and poverty. The once richest
hill on earth has now become the most
impoverished city in the United States
in proportion to its population. The
once independent miner has had tC
stand in relief lines humbly begging
for the few crumbs he receives from
the vast wealth he has helped produce
If Butte and Montana are to restore
their far-famed independence anC
prosperity they must break the stran'
gle hold the corporation now has upOr
them. The time has come to decide

WASHINGTON. - Gen. Hugh S.
johnson, Recovery Administrator, or
dered the Blue Eagle taken from the
Hartman Hosiery Company, Harri-
man, Tenn, for alleged violation Of
Section IA of the National Indus
trial Recovery Act.
In a telegram to the company an
nouncing his decision, General John
son said:
"The National Labor Board has
made a recommendation that your
Blue Eagle be withdrawn based upon
the boards findings and its conclusion
that the Hartman Hosiery Mills has
infringed the rights of its employees to
bargain collectively through represen-
tatives Of their own choosing, as rec
ognized by Section IA of the Nation
al Industrial Recovery Act, by enter
ing negotiations in bad faith with the
definite intention not to make any
agreement with the representatives of
its employees
"The Compliance Board has con-
CURED in this recommendation.
"In accordance with these recon-
mendations, / hereby direct you to sur
render ali your Blue Eagles to the
postmaster at Hartman and to re-
frain hereafter from using the Blue
Eagle at your plant or in advertising

Destitution Increases Despite
Industrial Recovery"

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Despite
the ballyhoo of recovery in the bust
ness press, the number of relief cases
increased 10 per cent and expenditures
went up 20 per cent between Febru-
airy and March, reported Harry L.
Hopkins, federal relief administration,
April 10. The number of families on
relief now totals 4,70O,000, and will
be the same for April, according to
Hopkins.
He explained the mounting destitu-
ton and reports of increased employ
ment by saying that the percentage Of
those unemployed whose situation is
desperate is increasing, as their re-
sources give out. About 100000
persons are on relief, Hopkins added.

Thereafter, following new confer
ences and new efforts to obtain a set

tested to the Administrator against
the removal of its Eagle as recon-
mended by the National Labor Board
and the petition was referred to Ma

BUILDING WORKERS
MAKING PROGRESS

The Carpenters union reports that
a number of employers r paying the
increased wage scale asked by the
Carpenters union and that all mem
bers of the union who are working
are receiving the increased scale.
The Carpenters and Electricians
are asking for a 30-hour week and an
increased hourly rate, in compliance
with the spirit of NRA and also to
increase employment among workers
in the building industry.

Are Making Progress

The Transfers and Clerks unions
report that they are making progress
in their negotiations for increased pay
and shortened hours. The road con-
tractors are willing to sign for a 40
hour week with no decrease in weekly
pay. The adoption of the union terms
is being held up by local employers
of members of the Transfers union.
The Clerks are asking for a 5-day,
4O-hour week, in compliance with the
terms of the retail code. They re-
port progress and hope to reach a sat
isfactory settlement soon.

D ANGSTMAN
DECISION UPHELD

One of the greatest tributes paid
an independent Associate Justice of
the Montana Supreme Court was paid
Judge Angstman when the U. S. Su-
preme Court sustained his decision in
the case of Mieyr against the Federal
Surety Co. In this case Judge Angst
man had the courage to stand alone
in his decision and placed his minority
opinion before the U. S. Supreme
Court. The U. S. Court was unani-
nous in believing Judge Angstman
right.

1000 POSTAL Of
FICIALS ARE
DISMISSED

AMSTERDAM - IT. l. S.)-The
myth of a considerable increase of
work in Germany is once more X
ploded by figures referring to the
Federal postal service and just made
public by the postal authorities. 1000
postal officials have been dismissed
since Hitler's accession to power. Only
230 of those dismissed were higher Of

dismissals were occasioned mostly for

LOCAL FERA BOARD
STALLING

A number of weeks ego, an an
nouncement was made of the organ
ization of a wage committee of the
local FERA Board. This committee
is to aid in establishing local FERA
wages. The labor groups elected a
member to serve on that committee
to represent labor. SO far no one
has called a meeting of that commit
tee. Probably they, like the NRA
Compliance Board, hope to stall off
activity until the FERA joins the CWA
in retirement. This committee could
solve much of the wage disputes in
the building trades by acting imme-
diately.

NO EXCUSE FOR PRESENT LOW
WAGES.
There is no excuse, at the present
time for maintaining the present low
wage level in Butte mines, other than
the greed of the wners who have
grown wealthy on the blood and suf-
fering of the people Of Butte. The
cemeteries of Butte, with a larger
population than the city itself, bear
mute evidence to the cost of the Ana
cOnda wealth, in human life and suf-
fering. The hospital at Galen shows
the cost to Butte workers of the great
surplus being piled up by the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company. The
widows and orphans Of Butte, now on
relief or pensions are a living testi-
mony to the price paid by Butte FAM
lilies for the quarter million dollar
a-year salary received by President
Cornelius F. Kelly.
The men, women and children Of
Butte have paid a high price for the
wealth of the Ryans and Kellys and
now that their greed is still unsatis-
fled, this corporation is telling the
people of Butte they may starve to
death unless they are willing to risk
their lives and health in order that
dividends might be increased. The
Anaconda Company is well named
and nov IN a time when they could
afford TO pay a living wage, they are
showing their true cOlors by seeking
to operate under Tsarist methods in
a day when Tsarism is NJ more.
We are faced with a crisis in Butte
The welfare of the men who work un.
foreground is the welfare of Butte, mo-
the price of A. c. M. stocks. Lei
the citizens of Butte and Montana
stand behind the workers in Anaconda
and Butte and Montana will once
more rightfully deserve the name o.
Treasure State.
