STATE PRODUCERS

Prices paid to Montana produc-
ers were slightly higher in mid
May than they were in mid-April,

vision of crop and livestock esti-
mates of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Although corn, winter wheat.
barley and rye remained un-
changed, Durum wheat, other
spring wheat and oats advanced
one to three cents a bushel. All
wheat advanced one cent a bushel
and flaxseed advanced nine cents
a bushel. Potatoes declined SC to

The prices of all classes of hay
advanced zoe to SOC a ton, with
the exception of prairie and mixed
clover and timothy hay, which re-
manned unchanged. Although the
carryover of the 1888 hay crop is
large in certain sections of the
state, the severe drouth, with the
expectation of a possible feed
shortage, has undoubtedly been a
great factor in advancing hay
prices. Alfalfa seed declined 4Oc

JUST WHAT

In an address to the graduating class of Oberlin college
the other day Prof. Rex Tugwell, assistant secretary of
agriculture, is quoted as stating that the old order OF bust
ness, economics and politics, "became calamitous to the
entire nation and the people decided something had to
be done. Continuing DR.. Tugwell is quoted as saying:
at is very strange to me, though perhaps familiar to
students of abnormal psychology, that there are today in
this country still a considerable number of irrational peo-
pie who do not realize that something more than an ordin-
airy presidential election took place in 1892, and who are
now clamoring for a return to a kind of civilization which
Is as archaic as the oX-cart and the windmill"
Here are words worth thinking about. If something
more than an ordinary presidential election occurred in
1892, just what was it? Certainly there were no issues
discussed In the campaign which presaged anything more.
than a simple change of administrations. Both political
platforms talked about economy, less government in bust
ness, simpler government and a return to normalcy. If
something more than an ordinary presidential election
has taken place, when did it occur, and who authorized
it? Certainly it did not occur in the ballot boxes of the
nation. Then just when did it happen? Did it come about
when the college professors and the experts whom a dis
tinguished Democratic statesman called 'crackpots' be-
gan to appear in the picture? And if it was something
more than an ordinary election what was it-a revolu-
ton? Here are some questions which the good professor
might answer IN order to clarity his presentation Of the
situation.
And again it would be interesting to know inst where
is the abnormal psychology? Is it abnormal psychology
to hold a reverence for the constitution of the United
States, and for the Institutions which gave us the great
est country the world has ever known? Is it abnormal
psychology to prefer individual liberty to recommendations,
to hold with the views of Washington, and Jefferson, and
Lincoln, rather than with those of Rex Tugwell, Mordecai
Ezekiel, and Felix Frankfurter? We would suggest that
Professor Tugwell read the Republican and the Demo
cratic platforms of 1882 and then tell us whether or not
they are a development of an abnormal psychology. And
If they are, then just when did we as a nation get to the
normal way of thinking?
Either the New Deal is revolutionary or it is not. Some
Of the professors who brought it into being DENY that it
comprises a revolution. But Professor Tugwell strongly
intimates that in 1892 something more than an ordinary
presidential election took place. We think the American
people have the right to know just what it was, and how.

Never before has such a climax
of music and spectacle been pre-

it offers the surprising sound,

Resentment of Local
Unions Should Now
Be Organized
BY FRANK BoRICH

PARAMOUNT, w. Va. -
The new West Virginia Dis
trict Agreement, signed by
the United Mine Workers of
America officials and kept
secret for weeks, was finally
made public. The reading of
the agreement at the local union
meetings IS causing mass revolt
among the miners.
The new agreement contains all
the basic provisions of the expired
agreement, only in concreter and
sharper form, for the protection of
the interests of the coal operators.
Robbed of Right to Strike
The outstanding features carried
from the old agreement into the
new one are:
Forcible arbitration; no right to
strike, and So a day fine for each
miner for violation of this anti
strike clause; the right of the oper-
ator to hire and fire and to impose
any new rule upon the miners ne
cessa1y to increase his profits.
No payment for dead work is al
lowed, but specified forms of dead
work must be done without any pay,
such as pushing the cars, laying
tracks, setting crossbars, etc. The
agreement gives no right to the

perspectives. Because Of this situa-
ton the well organized Bittner ma
chine is able, in most cases, to force
the endorsement of the agreement.
Where this is impossible it is able
to prevent any organized action
against the agreement. Thus the
whole fight Of the miners against
the agreement is without definite
perspective.
Must Organize Opposition
The main responsibility for the
existence of this situation, as we
pointed out on one previous occa-
sion, lies with those militant ele-
mentS who remain outside of the
U.M.W.A. and upon those withdraw
ing from the U.M.W.A. at present.
A correct policy in the present
situation would be to refuse to pay
dues to the U.M.W.A. officials and
defeat the check-off, to reject the
agreement and its various provi-
sions, to formulate demands in each
mine to supplement the agreement
and to develop a fight for these
demands, to broaden the movement
from the local to a district wide
scale for one unified fight Of all the
miners, not only against the agree
ment, but also against the whole
policy of corrupt officials of the UNI.

Bronx Tenants to
Spread Fight on
JimCrOwLandIOrd

NEW YORK. - Plans were
adopted last Wednesday night at
the meeting of the House Commit
tee of 1885 and 1910 University
Avenue, Bronx, for mass
fight against the jim-crow attempt
of Bronx property owners to force
IA Negro families to vacate their
homes in the two buildings.
The tenants decided to canvass
the houses on Prospect Avenue,
owned by the same landlord,
which are occupied by Negro fami-
lies, to organize these families to
support the struggle against their
jim-crow landlord. Representa-
tives of the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights and the Inter
national Labor Defense were pres
emit at the House Committee meet
ing.
The two organizations have de-
cided to organize campaign to
collect signatures in the neighbor-
hood in protest against the anti
working class segregation policies
of the property owners. They also
decided to jointly call a protest
mass meeting at Paradise Manor,
Jerome and Mount Eden Avenue,
for next Friday evening, May %.
The meeting will be addressed by
a representative of the House
Committee, and Charles Kunz, at
torney, who is in charge of legal
action to supplement the mass
fight against the attempt to eviet
the Negro tenants, and Charles
Alexander, of the L. S. N. R.
Last Wednesday several of the
tenants appealed to the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People for aid in the
fight against segregation, and
were rebuffed by the N. A. A. C.
P. Attorney, Andrews, who told
them that nothing could be DONE
because they had no leases. The
House Committee rejected this
legalistic attitude of the N. A. A.
c. P. and voted unanimously to
continue the fight.
