How It Works.
(New York world-Telegram)


 Bv vote of two to one-two Republicans to one Democrat-the United States Circuit Court or Appeals at Boston has held the AAAs processing and floor taxes unconstitutional.
 Constitutional lawyers may applaud this decision as legally letter perfect but the 32.O00OOo Amer lcans who make up the nations farm population will feel more like MT Rumble, who said; II the law supposes that sir the law is a ass For oi all the attempts made by the Government since the war to help farmers back to prosperity, Triple alone has succeeded in putting jingling dollars into their jeans.
 1.-the farmer is the backbone of the nation, and promised him aid. The result was the Capper- Volstead act strengthening farm co-operatives us effect on farmers buying power was negligible In 1924 the Republicans pledged legislation ito place agricultural interests basis of economic equality with other industry to assure it's prosperity and success" Their Congress talked export bounty and debenture nostrums and passed the McNary- Haugen bill President Coolidge, Secretaries Hoover and Mellon willing, vetoed that bill twice
 In 1928 they promised measures which will place horticultural interests basis of economic equal lity' Followed the Hoover Agricultural act Under this the Federal Farm Board bought up surplus wheat and cotton. It earned paper loss Of S3OO,- 900 0OO which taxpayers will have to liquidate. We still have 100000 bales of Farm Board cotton on hand
 The Roosevelt Administration set out in 1883 to give farmers pre-war parity in buying power by means of the AAA, a sort of domestic tarlff plan Taxes were levied processors of eight basic com modtes, and these were paid back to the farmers in benefits provided they reduced surplus acreages It worked.
 I In it's two years of operation Triple has paid nearly $500 100000 in benefits to some 3,00O,00O farmers In 1882 farm income less than $4,- 5000 900; in 1883 it $5000 0000; in 1854 $6 900 000000 this year it is running 10 per cent above last years. Pre-war farm price parity has not been reached, but it is up to ST per cent com pared with 55 per cent in March. 1883. This new farmer wealth has been achieved without tapping the United States Treasury materially raising prices to the consumers. Processing taxes have added 2 or cents to the price of work shirts, cent or less to the cost of loaf of bread, about 2A cents to pound of bacon.
 1 The Boston decision if upheld, would be much more drastic blow to the hopes of millions than the Supreme Courts Schechter decision. MIRA was failing. Triple is a going concern After de- cade and half of promises the farmers now have something real and tangible. Take that away and the hinterlands will be heard from. l We do not subscribe to the AAA formula an which it derives its theory Nor do we essay to defend it's "consttutionality." We do know it ceeds where all other efforts have failed.
 We should like to know what it's partisan critics propose to set up in its place should the Supreme Court uphold the Boston Judges.

Relief CASES IN PN|FUL NEE OF HELP
FIVE MILE HOTEL
UNFAIR TO UNIONS

The Five Mile Hotel on Harrison
Avenue has been declared unfair by the
unions. The place is accused of using
and employing scab musicians. The
other unions having jurisdiction over
this type OF business are also concerned
in this house. Patrons Of these re-
sorts on Harrison Avenue should look
for the Musicians Union shop card.
This card is usually put up near the
stand occupied by the musicians. If
the card is not there, you can rest as
sured that you are listening to some
scab music. Now it may be necessary
to have somebody posted to see how
many union men and women and bust
ness men and others are patronizing
the places that have gained a crummy
reputation through violation Of the
union rules. As was said in these col
umns before, it doesn't seem possible
that a union man or woman could pos
sibly get any pleasure in dancing to
the strains eminating from the instru-
ments operated by scab players nor
assist the owner in his attempts 10

Farmers Union Coop.
Complete New Plant
In St. Paul
ITO Replace Competitive System"
Says Farm Publication.

ST. PAUL Minn.-The Farmers I'm
ion Central Exchange has announced
the completion OF its ult%ra-modern
headquarters and oil compromising
plant in South St. Paul, designed to
serve I'll retail cooperative associa-
tions in Eastern Montana, North Da-
kota, Minnesota and Wisconsin, The
three-story structure, completed at a
cost of $4,000 is equipped with three
blending tanks and eighteen storage
tanks with a capacity of 285,000 gal
Ions and will provide petroleum pro-
ducts compounded to specification for
100000 farmer-owners of the new CO.
operative plant. The Farmers Union
cooperative shipped ten tank cars Of
gas, oil and kerosene a day to local
cooperatives during 1884 and expects
to exceed last years 100000 volume
of n~on-profit business with the facili-
ties now available.
THE FARMERS UNION HERALD
with offices in the third floor OF the
new headquarters, said in commenting
on the giant cooperative, "The most
effective way to destroy the profit sys-
tenn is to quit patronizing it." The Elk
change was incorporated in 1881 and
has added new products to the goods it
provides to its members as the sue
cess of each new venture was assured.
In addition to petroleum products the
cooperative now handles tires, binder
irvine, batteries, flour and paint. The
new building will be officially dedicat-
ed at the Annual Meeting OF the Farm
ers' Union Central Exchange in Dec
ember but it is already in operation.

Canadian Consumers
Build Own Refinery

REGINA, Sask,-Not satisfied to re-
main in the position OF mere distri-
butors, Canadian cooperators have
taken a bold stride into production,
building and operating their own oil
refinery here. It is believed to be the
first Coop oil refinery in North Amer
lea,
Ten cooperative associations, which
had been successfully distributing pet
roleum for four years, in April, 1884,
formed the CONSUMERS Refineries Co.
operative Association, Ltd, with an au-
thorized capital Of 5000 shares at SIS
each. The ummer and fall OF 1884
were spent in organizing. Last winter,
building commenced on 20 acres OF land
bought zeal Regina. The refinery
started operating on May u, 1885.
Since operations began, ten other as
sociations have either been organized
or have joined the group.
The stock in the refinery association
is held both by the retail associations,
which are required to purchase stock

done, and by individuals, some OF whom
operate several sections Of land and
use thousands Of gallons OF engine fuel
yearly. Six percent interest on share
capital is a first charge on profits.
The refinery is a Swimming plant"
of the most modern type and will cost,
when completed, between 50 and 90
thousand dollars. Its capacity is 500
barrels of crude petroleum per day.
Prior to building the refinery, pet
roleum fuels had been imported from
Oklahoma, the freight rate on gasoline
from Oklahoma to Regina was 9.82
cents per gallon and the duty two and
a half cents. Crude is admitted into
Canada duty-free and the freight rate
on crude from the same area is 4.S1
cents per gallon. Therefore, by going
into refining, the organized consumers
Immediately save seven and a half cents
per gallon.

Bartenders Prohibit
Sale Of Canned Beer

Canned beer, as far as Silver Bow
County is concerned, is out OF the pic
ture. The Bartenders' Union has def
initely taken action to prevent any
further distribution of this type Of
beer, The International President Of
the organization, in the recent confer
ence Of the units of his organization,
has just passed out the word that
canned beer shall not be handled by
the union organizations. The objec-
ton seems to be that the AM are
made by scab labor and in unorganized
institutions. According te the repre-
%sentatives in the Trades and Labor
Council the ban on this product ex-
tends all the way west from Chicago.
Montana labor news., 1935-11-14

the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council are striving to get something
done before too much suffering takes
place. A committee has been working
on the matter and have been in touch
with the Relief Administration in the
court house and have received very
fine cooperation from this agency. It
was unofficially reported to the Mon
tana Labor News office that the Mon
tana Relief Commission, through Mr..
Ruffcorn, had sent a telegram to the
National Emergency Council at Wash
ington which is as follows:
Newspapers state, Montana was al
located two hundred thousand for the
first half Of November. One Hundred
Thousand additional for earthquake
emergency. Forty-five Thousand for
clothing. Montana Relief Commission
states no funds received to date. Pres
ent funds exhausted. They have CO.
operated in earthquake emergency with
persons claiming federal authority, but
activities must cease today if funds are
not available and definite authorization
given. Works Progress Administra-
ton will not accept workers on some
jobs unless clothing is supplied. This
cannot be done until funds are avail
able. Montana Relief Offices must
close soon unless funds are received.
Montana Relief Commission willing to
follow rules and regulations of Ma
tional Emergency Administration as far
as possible and not violate the Montana
law as interpreted by State Attorney
General. Mr.. Marvin demands full ad-
ministrative control of all relief activ-
tiles. This the Commission will not
grant but will accept advice and CO.
operation. The Commission contends
some of Marvins demands would vio-
late Federal rules and state law.
From this communication it seems
that the office Of Mr.. Marvin and the
Relief commission at Helena are hav-
ing some difficulty with one another.
We are not assuming that this is the
cause of the delay in having the money
allocated, but at any rate, it doesn't
help any. Mr.. Marvin came in here
from Kansas and it may be remem-
bered that MI. Marvin is a recent new
conner to Montana, at least in connec-
ton with this work.

N Blacker and more terrifying
than the cloud of dust which Is
gradually subsiding, there hangs
today over the whole plains region
of America the specter Of still
more dust storms to come.
Unless merciful rain comes soon,
literally millions of acres Of wheat

The farmers know that despite any
long-range remedies. nothing will
help this spring and summer but
rain.
The drought which brought
billion dollar calamity on the
plains states last summer has not
ended. It has been. up to now, a
dry winter, and hot, dry spring
would open the way to still worse
dust storms than those of last
year or this.
The longtime future may be in
the hands of shelter belts. sOr-

less rain comes this spring it will
be impossible to get root crops
