JOE PENNER'S DUCK
BOASTS OF HAVING
BEEN AN EGG ONCE
Radio Comedians Pet Bird Says
It's Nothing to Write
Home About
By GOO-GOO
(Ioe Penner'S Duckl

New York. Nov. 3.-Doubtless you
have been called an egg many times.
ANYTHING from hard-boiled to just
plain egg. But you've never been
one. I have. And It's nothing TO-
write home about.
Little did I dream. when I was
still an egg, that some day would
be famous and broadcasting over
NBC networks, but here am. The
first thing remember is poking
my head through q lot Of shell on
the Rutherford ]. Doakes farm not
far from Ossawammic. I was just
{. little duckling and not, SO ugly AZ
that. In fact. was just ducky.
At first my big ambition in life
was to be the center Of interest at =.
duck dinner. We ducks used to read
the funny papers. and when we saw
Mr.. segar's Wimpy saying, Come up
for q duck dinner. You bring the
ducks" we just used to duck our
heads In shame and envy that we
weren't chosen. But that was all
before I discovered I had histrionic
ability.
Meeting Mr.. Penner
It came about in this wise. Little
Oscar, Mr.. Doakes' son, heard joe
Penner on the radio with Rudy VAL
Lee two years ago. And one day Joe
made q personal appearance in the
town hall at Ossawamr1ie. To show
his appreciation, Oscar decided to
make Joe present OF live duck.
Oscar invaded our duck pen. and We
all ran frantically around but he
caught me. Little did know what
was In store.
He presented me to Mr.. Penner.
in person.
"Good grief" asid Mr.. Penner.
another duck!"
So-oo-ooo Gas Ed Wynn would
say) I was placed In large pen
with numerous other ducks, all. per-
scnal presentations to Mr.. Penner.
Well, Mr.. Penner decided to give US
away. But liked Mr.. Penner, especi-
ally his chortles. guess any duck
would. It's lucky for Mr.. Penner that
I was struck with radio and the
theatre. preened my feathers,
arched my back, and struck poses.
This. Of course, attracted Mr.. Pen
ner's attention. or perhaps it was the
way I spread my webbed feet. Any
way. he decided to keep me. And
believe me, I made him what he is
today. Others may tell you that Joe
Is = natural comedian, but pardon me
while chuckle down my feather
pit. He owes 1t all to me. just let
him try to duck me.
A Duck In Hollywood
I went TO Hollywood with Joe
when he made picture, but this
movie stuff got me down. I'm
really = radio star although q pretty
fowl on the silver screen. You can
bet that I was glad when October
rolled around. Then got Joe start
ed east. As the governor would say.
It WIS long time between broadcasts.
Especially since hadn't seen Har-
riet Hiluard since July. Harriet Il
q darn sight prettier than any Of
these movie babies. Ozzie Nelson
promised to take me over to see q
football game this fall. Ozzie used
t. die for dear Of Rutgers on the
gridiron . few years back and now
he's one Of the SWEETEST band leaders
toting baton.
80 don't you believe 1t when Joe
says maybe he wont use his ducl
on his Bakers Broadcasts. There's
nothing to it. Everybody knows thai

ANACONDA CUNMAN SHOOTS into
POLICE PATROL; TRAP LAID TO
FORCE TROOPS into BUTTE

he claimed belonged to a gunner. This
also happened on Granite street. The
Miner members of the Strike Com
mittee rushed to the scene and brought
the man to the meeting hall. He had
a Miners Union book but had had no
stamps in it for eleven months. He
had not ever saw fit to secure unem-
ployed stamps in the book, were he
unemployed. He told the miners that
the men flashed a gun on him as he
walked down the street and he didn't
intend to stand for such action. He
was given a good lecture and is being
watched by the Union in the future
What his motive was could not be de-
termined as it is hard to produce evil
dence to show that a man is a stool
pigeon. The Unions are watching each
move very carefully since a number
OF Union men were baited into the
trap last Monday.
Shows Attitude of Public
The so-called violence of last Mon
day was evidence of the feeling of the
People of Butte toward the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company. That the
sight of gunner on the streets OF
Butte can arouse such fury on the part
OF people on the street, that no one
comes to their defense is evidence of
how Butte feels toWard imported kill
ers. Butte has no use for men of
that type. Men who are hired to kill
workers, VIII, are asking for bread for
their families, at a measly pittance are
worse than any Dillinger Mob that
ever roved the country. They are men
who are making murder a profession
and if the Anaconda Company stoops
to hiring such men it can expect little
sympathy from the public. If the
Company must use gunner let it keep
them OFF the streets Of Butte. The
only time there has been trouble in
Butte has been when the Company has
allowed or ordered these gunner into
Butte to start trouble. Let the gun
men stay behind their fences. The
Butte public should be aroused over
actions such as those of last Monday.
The police should arrest every gun
ner on the Butte streets on sight. If
this were done there would be no VIC
lence in Butte and there would be no
need Of asking for troops to protect
men who have hired out to kill and be
killed, for a man who expects to kill
should also expect a like fate to hap
pen to him.

Deportation Mill
Grinding Again

I'M
der pressure of the hysterical anti-red
campaign set in motion by the San
Francisco newspaper publishers and
William Randolph Hearst, the Labor
Department is renewing efforts to de-
port some 80 persons, said to be of
Russian citizenship, against whom de-
portation orders have been standing
for several years.
Both the Labor Department and the
Soviet Embassy denied knowledge of
reports that w. w. Husband, former
Assistant Secretary of Labor in charge
OF immigration, is going to Moscow to
negotiate for the return of the so al
legged Russians. The Soviet Embassy
denied that the Soviet Government
had eve refused to accept the return
of its own citizens and asserted it had
heard nothing officially Of the Husband
mission. The Labor Department said
that Husband had been recalled for
work OF an unannounced nature.
Newspaper reports that the Soviet
Government refuses to receive deport-
ees who are Russian citizens were RI
diculed at the Soviet Embassy. Some
cases have arisen, it was explained,
when the Soviet Government was I'M
able to accept deportees because it
had no proof hat they were Soviet
citizens.

Attack on Farm Co-ops
Denounced

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Continued
efforts by code authorities to put farm
cooperatives out of business were
brought to light by farm organizations
at the dairy equipment code hearing
in Washington. The code sponsors in
sisted on defining members of the in
dustry as those who are organized for
profit"
Representatives Of the Farm Bureau
Federation, the Grange and the Farm
Credit Administration assailed the de-
~finition as a sly effort to keep farm
co-ops from buying and selling dairy
equipment for their members. They
appealed to NRA ito put an end to
this continual repetition, in one pro-
posed code after another, of these ri
diculous efforts to deny farmers the
right to cooperative buying and SELL

Tugwen Takes Slap
at Sabotaging
Business System

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Without
AAA, I'VE should face famine and poll
teal revolution in the farm states and
food riots in the Cities, asserted Rex
ford Guy Tugwell, Under-secretary OF
Agriculture, in a radio defense July 81
OF the Administrations farm policy.
Tugwell made an indirect attack on
the country's business organization,
when he stated that a policy Of sacar-
city had been dictated for farmers be-
cause employers dictated it for indus
try. 1T has, for example, been taken
for granted that when an automobile
factory could no longer manufacture
automobiles at profit, it would stop pro-
duction', said Tugwell. Unfortunate
ly and inexplicably it has also been
taken for granted that when a farm
er could no longer grow wheat at a
profit, he ought to increase his pro-
duction. Out OF this business system
grew the industrial unemployment
which is still with US, and the agri-
cultural bankruptcy which still turks
just around the corner for millions OF
our farmers"
Declaring that the Roosevelt Adm
inistration has not been empowered by
the people to change "our traditional
business system" the Un~dersecretary
intimated that nothing less than a re-
volution could change the present
economy of scarcity to an economy
of abundance" so far as industry is
concerned. Accordingly the Admins
~tration is trying to adjust relation
ships among our old institutions, to
overhaul them, to repair them, to make
them work if they could be made to
work"
The job of the Department OF Agri-
culture, he said, is the duty of trying
to make the present business system
work for the advantage of the farm
ers." He attacked as "%infantile, OBJ
scene and wicked" the efforts of ere
dictionary ob%surantists' to take advan-
tage of the drought to discredit the
Administrations farm policy. These
same Tories, he asserted, fought for
years to maintain unlimited immigra-
ton into the United States, in order
that they might have a constant sup
ply Of cheap labor and of what really
amounted to a reservoir of cheap
strikebreakers with which to combat
the efforts of American labor to win
decent wages and working conditions.
They are trying to array labor against
the farmers, with the sole if unconfess-
ed object of perpetuating the specula-
tive conditions which make exploitation
a permanent part Of our business sys-
tenn"

Officials Abandon
Washington Idea
Attempt to be Made to Settle
Dispute in Butte Says Govern
ment Officials.

According to P. W. Chapel and R.
c. jacobson, there is little promise of
a committee going to Washington to
settle the Butte strike. According to
information brought by jacobson from
Washington there is little to show that
anything would be gained by sending a
committee to the National Capital. 1t
is hoped that machinery might be set
up in Butte that will bring a quicker
end t the Butte situation. The set
ting up of such machinery depends on
word expected from Washington with
in the next few days.
