JOHN BRANGER, 49,,
WELL-kN0Wn DUDE
RANCHER, IS DEAD
Hundreds Attend Funeral
For Pioneer At
Ranch

The death of John Branger, ST.,
at his ranch home Tear Roscoe
Friday crossed off another name
from the rapidly diminishing roll
call of men who knew Montana
when it was young. One of the
first in the state to see the posi-
bilities of the dude ranch, Mr..
Branger founded one of the first
such enterprises in this section
and lived to see dude ranching be-
come one of the major industries
of the west.
The early-day rancher's death
followed a several months illness
with diabetes. He had been fail
ing rapidly for the past three
months when he was stricken SER
iously i'll. He was 70.
Coming to the United States in
1883 from Switzerland where he
was born at Spluegen in 1861, Mr..
Branger almost Immediately joined
the westward movement. He set
tied in the Judith Basin in 1885
and for 25 years engaged in the
stock-raising business in that sec
ton. He later moved to Billings
and after a three years residence
there he founded a dude ranch
near East Rosebud lake in 1913,
Known as the T 0 Bar, the
Branger ranch became one of the
best in this section and claimed
many notables as summer guests.
Mr.. Branger was married to
Rosina Trepp at Lewistown in
1890.
Funeral services were held at
the ranch home Sunday with the
Rev. o. T. Haughan, Absarokee
pastor, officiating. Hundreds OF
old-time friends from Yellowstone
Saltwater and Carbon counties at
tended the rites. Pallbearers were
James Burnett, Herman Kuhl and
Bert Umland of Luther, Oakley
Parker of Fishtail, George Wright
of Roscoe and Victor Lehfeldt OF
Broadview. Interment was in the
Roscoe cemetery.
Surviving, besides Mrs. Brang-
err, are three sons, Dave, Chris
and John Branger; a nephew
Florian Camastral; eight grand
children, and two nieces living in
Switzerland. Joseph and Antoine
King of Lewistown are brother
in-laws.

AND ELLIS
WAGE FURIOUS DUEL
T HOURS DELAY

Before a good sized crowd, Nor
ris tx. o. Hendrix of Fromberg
raped out a six-round decision
over Babe Ellis of Billings in the
main event of the Joliet Boxing
clubs show at Joliet Saturday
night, according to John Jarussi,
club secretary.
The bout had the distinction of
taking an hours time to complete
when, after the boys neared the
finish of a fast-moving first
round, a high wind doused the
lights, throwing half of the town
into darkness including the arena
glimmers. A 200-foot extension
cord had to be rugged before the
bout resumed after an hours
wait. Despite the impromptu rest,
the boys started in right where
they left off and staged a red-hot
match for the rest of the session.
Hendrix won decisively and made
the best stand of his career.
In the semi-windup Nick Spag-
ETH of Joliet drew even with Bob
Wyeman of Billings for four
rounds while the semi-final event
saw Don Claus hammer out a
four-round decision over Vic
Marker of Billings. The club an
nounces that it will stage its next
card Saturday, March II, bouts to
be announced later.

Why Not Arbitration?

The average industrial dispute in this country, if it reaches the stage of open warfare, passes through three phases. First, there is the period in which both sides hurl defiance and call on heaven and earth to witness that they are completely and everlastingly in the right.
 Next comes the time of outright hostill- ties The workers lay down their tools and walk out-or they are locked out by the bosses; picket lines form at the gates, strikebreakers come to work with varying mixtures of sheepishness and defiance; heads get laid open tear gas bombs are thrown, windows are broken and the usual bloody and tumultuous procedure, costly to everyone involved, is followed
 Then, last of all, comes the settlement. Unless one side or the other wins clear cut victory, the general staffs of the two sides get together, neutrals are called in, and the whole dispute is put up to arbitra tion. In the end the arbitration commit tee hands down it's decision, the contend ing parties accept it with cheers or with scowls, work is resumed again-and one more industrial muss-up is over.
 It makes rather dreary and discourag ing routine. It is horribly expensive; the owner loses dividends, sometimes loses fat orders, frequently has property damage to pay for; the workers lose wages and ill many cases get clubbed and punched as well; the general public suffers inconveni- ence, has to pay for extra police work and in varying ways plays the unhappy role of the innocent bystander.
 And it all leads one to wonderfully, since the average dispute winds up in ar bitration anyway, can't arbitration be re- sorted to in the first place to save all this trouble? The answer, probably, is that to be stubborn and opinionated is a very ancient human trait which has not, to date, shown many signs of disappearing.
 Arbitration can hardly be forced on the contending parties - not without revising our whole political and economic frame work more than most of us are prepared to do at this time. But the stern logic ot hard facts points directly toward it. Un- less victory for one side or the other is speedily gained, it usually comes in the end. Can't owners and workers see that everybody concerned would be ahead if it came right at the beginning?

eral strikes They have never succeeded. and their chief victims have been the la bor organizations that let themselves be persuaded into war of idleness and star vation against the general public. The public cannot endure anything like this. either from labor or from capital, or from both together in collision or mutual stub hornness. The rights of society as whole must always be superior to the rights and desires of any minority. Society as whole must save itself at whatever cost.
 It is doing so now in regions threat ened with this peril The country has suffered enough from economic paralysis coming impersonally, from obscure causes, in the last five years, to tolerate no deliberate, man-made paralysis, no mat ter who starts it. Instead of some against all, we need the social and patriotic ideal of each for all and all for each.

The End Of Dillinger

The ignominious snufflng out of John Dillinger, Public Enemy, No. 1, by United States department of Justice operators out in Chicago, Sunday night is nothing more than what the grand finale could have been expected to be-. The way of ali gang dom is much the same proving again and again, as has been said, "crime does not payp'
 We feel confident that there are few, but the mentally warped and perverted who can hold any brief for John Dillinger despite the romantic criminal record that has been woven about him by a press, which we are sorry to say to-day gives too much qualification to the criminal and too little attention to the unfortunate left in his wake of banditry, murder and destruc- tion.
 Yet, for the most part the country can take breathing spell from this sordld episode that has occupied the headlines for a period of several months. Little or no sympathy can rightfully go out to the criminal who deliberately embarks on a career, which usually brings it's own re- ward of death or Imprisonment. The criminal who opposes society can hope to expect little quarter from society.
 So we say the country is we'll rid of an other desperate criminal. And we sin cerely trust that the forces of law and order will continue to pursue all criminals as relentlessly as they did John Dillinger The only trouble in this respect is that such an upheaval snot made until the criminal from one petty crime to an- other is allowed to build himself up to the super-criminal, commonly known as Pub lie Enemy, No. so-an-so. Less leaway in the beginning, we think, would require less effort in the end.

Irregular Courts

A committee of the American Bar As sociation complains of federal commits sions, bureaus and other agencies taking on judicial functions, and operating not only as administrative bodies but as courts. It refers to the Interstate Con- merce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Recovery Ad- ministration, the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration and others. It dis approves especially of such judicial pow CTS being wielded by bodies merely ere ated by executive order through powers delegated by Congress.
 It does seem to be stretching legislative and judicial power pretty far, and the jealousy of the bar in this field is easily understood. The Bar Association con- nittee will find considerable support for it's criticism. ,
 At the same time, laymen are less sensi- tive about this than are members of the legal profession. Laymen point to "the laws delay" the awkwardness of the regular courts in settling vital questions, the bedevilment of our judicial system with technicalities, and they are tolerant of irregular tribunals if the latter prom ise prompt, fair, businesslike service. The popular test is efficiency, not technical jurisdiction. The state and federal courts always remain in the background, if ap- peal is needed.

A Book a Day
Plight Of The Aged In Modern Society
By BRUCE CAPTION

Years Are So Long, by Jos- ephine Lawrence, is strong and
 unpleasant novel about the di- slemma of the old folks in modern society.
 It tells about man and his
 wife who have reached the seven ties and who, when the man at last loses his job because of his age, find themselves flat broke. They have five grown children, and they naturally expect to be cared for the remainder of their lives.
 But the children-who are, by the way, about as scurvey a crew as you'll find in recent fiction don't welcome them with open arms, They have their own for, children to raise, bills to speedily discover that they are very unwelcome burdens. So, with much grumbling, the children take up the load. The financial burden is only part of apart from their parents; taking luclll iIlO tuSu AiOiHSS ihS0hS uiS-
 rupting the course of their lives,
 and calls for emotional readjust-
 ments that are hard, to make. The result is that the old peo- pie drag out what is left of their lives in the utmost loneliness and unhappiness, so that they finally
 welcome death as a deliverer. Miss Lawrence writes objective
 ly. If the old people are pathetic
 and tragic, figures, the children
 have their side of 1t, too. Mod
 ern' society leaves little room for
 the aged.
 Making a place for an old per
 son is harder in a city apartment
 or a jerry built suburban 'bunga-
 low than it used to be in a roomy farmhouse.
 But ones chief reaction Is dis
 gust for the younger people who
 bear their burden with such poor
 grace. It's too easy for them to <eel sorry for themselves. Their selishness is perfectly natural
 but none the less ugly. The book Is published by Stokes at s2.b0.

Some Against All

General Hugh Johnson put the case of the general strike simply, strongly and clearly when he said to the University of California students in Berkeley: "One side of warning business can no more use economic strangulation than 1t could go into the street and shoot innocent by standers down in cold blood with machine gllns. You just can't do this in a free country. It just won't work. If the responsible elements of organized labor do not purge themselves of this blight i'm. n,ediately, they will set the clock of labor organizations back ten years"
 This has been the case with former gen.

Washington, July 24-One and one makes two in strikes as well as in mathematics.
 Last Tuesday, at the height of the San Francisco general strike, the White House suddenly an- nounced that Roosevelt had em- powered Postmaster-G General Jim Farley to investigate ocean mail contracts and cancel or modify any he considered unwarranted.
 Two days later big Jim, junketing leisurely about the far west with a pocket full of politi- cal speeches, abruptly galvan- ized into action and revealed he was going to the Golden Gate city as an arbitrator"
 Two apparently unrelated in. cidents.
 But behind the scenes they were parts of a very carefully considered secret strategy by means of which the administra- tion hoped to bring industrial peace to the strife-torn west coast community.
 THE FACTS
 These are the facts on which this program is predicated. , Fact No. i: The postoffice department annually ladies out 26,000,000 in the form of ocean mail subsidies to American shipping lines. If this. mail were transported on a poundage basis .l l around s3,O00,0O0.
 Fact No. 2: Everyone of the six big shipping companies in- volved in the protracted mari- time workers controversy which led to the general strike. is a heavy recipient of this lush gov ernment largess.
 Fact No. 8: Secretary Perkins, General Johnson and Assistant Secretary McGrady, chairman of the deral longshoremen's s board, consider these companies basically responsible for the fail- ure of peace agreement.
 The government has legal power to crack down on these juicy contracts. The conclusion is obvious.
 STRIKE LESSON
 San Francisco's general strike has served to impress one, lesson on New Deal labor authorities; namely that local appointees, no matter how worthy, liberal, and highly esteemed, do not make effective arbiters.
 It all gets down to the old truism that Familiarity breeds contempt"
 Experience has shown that local selections, even when in- vested with the cloak of federal power, rarely do as well as out side officials. Personal relations, friendships, other factors of a similar character, are an intangi- be, but potent, bar to forceful and decisive action.
 Labor Secretary Perkins and Chairman Lloyd Garrison, of the new labor adjustment board, pri- vately are agreed on this fact. PROPOSED CHANGES
 As result two important changes are destined:
 1. In recommending future members to federal arbitration bodies, Miss Perkins can be ex- pected to avoid local selections as much as possible.
 ?. The system of regional labor boards, which the labor adjustment board inherited from the liquidated national labor board, is to be drastically over hauled.
 These regional agencies, made up entirely of local appOintecs have been a complete failure in

really serious labor

disputes.
 Garrison's plans for reorganiz- ing the system are still tentative. But the proposal being given ser- ious consideration is that the present boards be slashed to one permanent member, to handle routine matters, with the rnem- bership to be expended by the appointment of experienced federal officials in the event of serious controversy.
 On the other hand, it is possi- ble, that after further study the entire set-up may be junked. HELL-BOUND
 Little, gray-haired Represen- tative George Terrell, who des- bite the fact that he is a Texas democrat has consistently voted against the presidents huge re- covery expenditures, has decided not to run for reelection.
 But in shaking the dust of Washington, Terrell wants it known that he is not doing so because of fear.
 His One-term on Capitol Hill has quenchcd his thirst for pO- litical glory. And as for voting against the presidents appropri- ations, in Tcrrcll's opinion he was acting in the best Texas tra. dition.
 To prove this The cites the case of O. M. Roberts, one-time gov- ernor of the Lone Star state. Roberts was bitterly assailed for his rigid economizing. Finally a delegation of irate state legisla- tors called on him.
 Governor" they said, you will send the state to hell by your niggardly policy"
 'If the state goes to hell," Roberts shot back, "she will go according to law and pay her way as she gOcs."
