PENNSYLVANIA
 MAY PRODUCE GREAT CREW
BY STUART CAMERON


 New York, (UP)--Pennsylvania failed to win a varsity boat race in 1888 and that's why the Quak- CTS, under the guidance of Coach Rusty Callow, are making a des- perate effort to produce a great crew this season. '
 It's a daring and tremendous task for four of last years regu- lars and, something scarcely less important, six of the 1883 jayvee oarsmen have been lost by gradu- ation.
 Cailow hasn't yet fully recovered from his amazement at years runner-up jinx.
 T still think that that crew was the best we had in my seven years here" Callow says. But there was always just something that kept the boys from winning. They lost to Navy less than two feet. and to Princeton by a scant half length"
 Already the Penn mentor is run- ming into trouble. Bob Sewell, war; sity No man twoIyears ago, was ineligible last year. Now he's in the sick bay. He has a set of strained stomach muscles and it's scarcely likely he will be able to pull an oar in the opening race, with Columbia and Yale, on May s.
 Strong 'Bfan
 The strength of the Penn shell lies in the Nos 5, 6 and positions. Joe Burke at No S, is human powerhouse weighing 190 pounds. Willard Martin at No 6 is a three year man. Charley Swift at No z Is in the varsity shell for Q second time.
 The remainder of the Penn po- sitions are in doubt. Callow has u lot of hope for Edward Gamse, probable No 4 man. Gamse might be a star of the rowing world If he was not so ambitious. He's now completing a four-year pre-medi- cal course in three years, and did not even come out for the crew last year although he did row as a freshman.
 Penn has highly ambitious rowing schedule. After rowing in the BMckwell's cup regatta on May s, the Quakefs will take. part in the Childs cup on Lake Carne- gie at Princeton. meeting Colum- bia and Princeton. The following Saturday contains prob b a b e breather. a triangular with Man. haitian and Rutgers. Then comes the Adams cup race with Harvard and Navy at Philadelphia, May 26, with the Poughkeepsie regatta, JlIfe IS. as the finale.

Decline In Business,
Rise in Living Costs

NEW YORK. - FP) "A decided
drop in business activity for Septem-
Der and the sharpest monthly gain in
living costs since August, 1888, were
noted by the National Industrial Con
ference Board.
Advances made since last November
were wiped out in a succession of
downward movements in recent
months, according to this ~organiza-
ton whose reports favor the employ
ers' viewpoint. General level of pro-
duction has fallen to the lowest point
since the second quarter of 1888. Dis
tribution and retail trade made less
than seasonal advances.
An increase Of 1.8 per cent in living
costs from August to September was
due chiefly to the large rise in food
prices, according to the N. L. c. B.
The cost Of living was 4 per cent higher
than last year.

Labor Representation
Asked on Food Codes
Secretary Perkins Supports Move
To Put Labor Members On
Boards Administering 100 Food
Codes

WASHINGTON.-It is now believed
by responsible officials that the de-
mand OF labor to be represented on
the Code Authorities OF 100 food
products industries will be favorably
considered.
Secretary Perkins was reported to
be supporting a proposal that labor
representatives be placed on the
boards which police the 100 codes.
These labor spokesman would be
voteless, as are all Code Authority
members named by the government.
But with other administration mem
bers they would join in recommending
policies.
The division administrator of the
food codes, Armin w. Riley, has sub
mitted to NRA's governor a panel of
names for appointment to these Code
Authorities. This list was described
by labor spokesman as Strong"
In the past the appointment Of labor
members to Code Authorities has been
sparing. The practice was not en-
couraged by Hugh S. johnson and
many industrialists opposed it. The
American Federation Of Labor advo-
Gates the practice strongly.
Information at NRA indicated the
new move did not foreshadow a gen
eral policy.

COAL
RELIEF PROGRAM
ASKED BY CORMAN

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. = (FP) -
Uncle Sam, mattress and clothing
manufacturer, meat slaughterer, can
ming merchant, may go into the coal
business in a big way if the plan sug-
gested by Umpire James A. German Of
the Anthracite Cancellation Board goes
through.
Based on a years survey of the an
thracite mining situation, the plan
calls for employment OF 10000 jobless
miners to produce 100000 tons Of
hard coal for distribution to the needy
during the coming winter. Distribu-
ton Of the coal would be limited wholly
to the needy SO that there would be no
competition on the open market.
Three days a week employment for
five months is proposed, with miners
getting a minimum wage Of $4.62 a day.

director OF the U. S. Women's Bureau,
told a meeting Of the Joint Committee
on National Recovery. Discrimination
against Negroes has crept into many OF

Owe way N which this descrimina-
ton is expressed is through lower
minimum wages in regions where Ne
gro workers are employed, as in the
laundry code.

Candidates Appear
Before Council

The following political candidates ap-
peared before the Central Council to
thank Labor for the endorsement
given them: Tom Merkle, candidate
for County Commissioner John Malta,
candidate for County Assessor, and
Larry Weir, candidate for Sheriff.
Weir not only spoke in his own inter
ests but also spoke in behalf of Harry
Freebourn. Freebourn was unable to
attend the meeting due to critical ill
ness in his family. Labor extends to
F~reebourn its deepest sympathy and
assures him that it will campaign for
him, as individuals and units.
Associate Justice Angstman appeared
and reviewed his record for the Coun-
Gil, Al Shone spoke not only in be-
half of Judge Angstman, but urged
Labor to support all its endorsements
with votes. He stated that Labor has
this year picked the best slate in its
entire political history.
John Holland thanked the Council
for its endorsement of him and stated
that there would be no fault to find
with his office when votes were
counted, as he intends to see that all
get a fair and square deal.
Pat King, Communist Candidate for
the State Legislature spoke in behalf
OF the following Communist Candi-
dates: Raymond Gray, candidate for
II. S. Senate; Geo. Salisbury, candi-
date for Congress; Herb Wurst, for
Clerk Of Supreme Court; Bill Pyatt
for r. r. Commissioner, and Arvo
Frederickson, also a candidate for the
State Legislature.

Weir Receives
National Recognition
Strike Action of Sheriff Given as
Example to Others; Compli-
mented on Fair Attitude

Sheriff Larry Weir has received Ma
tional recognition on the attitude that
he took during the past strike. His
action was complimented by a leading
weekly magazine, a Sunday Edition of
the Milwaukee Leader and other pa
pers. 1t was commented upon, edi-
torially, by the New York Post. All
of these papers held Weir up to the
Peace Officers of their States as an
example for them to follow during
strikes.
Such National Comment shows how
rare it is TO find a County Sheriff that
is not controlled by the corporate in
terests of a County. Silver Bow
County and its workers were fortunate
indeed to have a man like Weir in the
Sheriff's office this past summer Had
another been in, of the calibre Of our
Sheriffs OF the past decade, the Depu-
ties would have been A. c. MI Gunner
and the county would have had to pay
the entire bill through taxation the
workers would have lost the strike and
Unionism would have been a thing OF
the past in Siler Bow County. Not
only the workers, but the taxpayers OF
Silver Bow County, in general owe
Weir a debt of gratitude for his fair
and sane action. Had he followed the
example Of peace officers in New Jer-
sey, California, Minnesota and other
States, the strike would have cost the
taxpayers of Silver Bow County
thousands of dollars for salaries OF
deputies appointed by the Anaconda
Company. We have a Sheriff whose
equal is rare in the United States, in
so far as Labor is concerned and Labor
should exert every effort to keep him
in office.
Montana labor news., 1934-11-01
LARRY WEIR

Remember it was Weir that refused to deputize Gunner
during the last strike in Butte. Remember that it was Weir
that refused to let the Sheriffs office be used as gun-recruit-
ing agency for the Anaconda Company. 1t was due to the
vigilance of Weir's office that the Company found it impos-
sible to frame the pickets Of Butte and force the Governor
to call out troops. Weir has not boosted about what he has
done for Labor. He has quietly gone about his work, show
ing by action rather than words that he, in his office, would
see that workers got a Square Deal. WHEN YOU GO TO
THE POLLS NEXT TUESDAY, REMEMBER A VOTE
o WEIR IS A VOTE FOR LABOR.

his Party. This, OF course, we cannot
expect him to do. He would have to
be dishonest and disloyal to his Party.
In this campaign he is merely trying to
straddle the issue and coax the people
of Montana to vote for him. He says,
81 will be with the President when [
think he is right" But the trouble
with these stand-pat Republicans is
that they all think that the President
is dead wrong, and that they are seek
ing the support of the conservative
Republicans Of Montana VI tie very
basis Of their opposition TO President
R~oosevelt's administration.
No, my friends, my opponent is too
consistent a stand-pat Republican to
give any support to President Roose-
welt. His record in Congress disquali-
flies him. If his theory that experience
is the important test, then why not
send back Moses from New Hampshire
to the Senate and other stand-pat Re
publicans, whom we must concede are
among the cleverest, most experienced
and adroit politicians this country has
ever produced.
My opponent objects to my state
ment that I will support the Presi-
dents New Deal policies one hundred
per cent. mean exactly what I say.
| do not believe that my opponent has
a real understanding of the New Deal
policies. The New Deal policies Of
President Roosevelt are simply these {:
He proposes to take our Government
out Of the hands Of Big Business and
turn it back into the hands of the
people. He intends to make it i'm
possible for the big industrial and fl
nancial interests of Big Business to
exploit the people any more. He pro-
poses to bring reform to our business
and industrial life and bring about a
more just and equitable distribution Of
profits. He proposes to prevent the
further exploitation of the farmers of
America. He proposes to bring re-
form to our monetary system and to
our banking system.
These and other like policies CON
%stitute the New Deal policies of
President Roosevelt. l subscribe to
them all, and will support the Presi-
dent one hundred per cent in his eff
forts to bring about these needed re-
forms, absolutely necessary and even
more important than recovery. I'm
derstand me, | do not pledge myself to
any particular act of Congress de-
signed to bring about the realization
Of these New Deal policies. That will
be a matter for consideration and de-
bate in Congress. The President does
not exact blind support Of any meas
sure that may be introduced in Con
gress to save this country from ex-
ploitation and destruction. He has
called upon the country repeatedly for
constructive criticism, and in Con-
gress he will expect intelligent and
constructive aid on the part Of the
members OF both houses in the enact
ment of just and proper laws to bring
about a New Deal in American life.

SOCIAL CHOLOFORM AND
RELIEF.

Some few years back we were
c~hloroformed into being contented
with having our lives stolen by a few
Wall Street parasites and Interna-
tional Bankers with a special brand OF
mental soothing syrup which seemed
to fit the circumstances at that time.
We were taught to be contented with
our cheap limitations of life and our
place in the bottom of the social ocean
with the doctrine you are the highest
paid, the best-fed workman in the
world, with more gold in your teeth
than the average European worker has
in his pockets"-and that wasn't half
of tive were all incipient Capital
sits We might graduate into the
Bourgoise class any minute. or become
a millionaire or something. Who

full in that it kept our minds occupied

misery, a new brand Of social
anaesthetic is being administered. In
ludicrous contrast to the old doctrine
of Fierce Individualism, we are now
supposed to be c%ontented in a bovine
manner with our place in the cellar of
society, and adopt an attitude Of harm
less Collective Fraternalism. That is,
there is no immediate program to be
advanced by II masters for our bet
termen; profits are still rolling in, and
the rich are getting no poorer, so we
must be satisfied with our lot and make
the best OF it. The 1884 Mobilization
for Human Needs makes this attitude
very clear. In an ad in Golfers of
October q, we read that "The Mobli-
cation for 1884" is a cooperative ma
tional program to reinforce local fund
raising for human needs-No national
fund is being raised" This is plainly
a reversion to Carnagie's Iron law of
wages" That is, that any given COM
