AIDS STARVING
FAIMILY-SHOT

Chicago. Sept. 8. = Another
Starving baby didn't get his milk
today. And his uncle, Edward Sch
ute, II years old, won't be tortur-
ed any more by the pitiful cries
of his 14month-old nephew. The
youth was KIDD this week by a
bullet fired by Joseph Kirner,
whose bottle of milk Edward at
tempted to steal.
For days Edward had trudged
the streets looking for sign ''Boy
Wanted" The sobs of the children
at home urged him on. The baby
couldn't even play any longer, it
had grown so weak. If only he
could bring it some milk-any-
thing to KEEP the fiuttering little
heart alive. But there was no work

"We're firing"
"But there's a baby home-it's
got to have milk"
''Yeah. There's lots of babies
amt getting their food, Sonny"
At last, driven by desperation
the boy decided to steal the pre-
cious nourishment. 1t was right to
steal for a baby.
At the inquest later, Kirner said
he saw a figure in the early morn
ing shadows stealing toward his
back porch toward the bottle Of
milk left there by the delivery mar
He got a pistol and fired one shot
"I just did it to scare him." he
said.
The wounded boy staggered, fell
and then crawled off into the darE

MINES SCHOOL
In new BUILDING

Butte, Sept. Montana School
of Mines at Butte will realize the
fulfillment of a 35-year dream this
month when the new student and
faculty residence hall will open its
doors for the first time. The beau
tiful and imposing building, con-
structed upon the highest spot of
the Mines campus, has been under
construction for the past year.
Unique among college resi-
dence halls, the new building on
the Mines campus is setting a pre-
cedent in that it is built to accom-
modate not only undergraduate
men engineering students, but also
faculty members and their fami-
lies, married students and their
wives, fraternity men, and gradu-
ates of colleges studying at the
Montana school for advanced de-
grees. There are also living quar-
tiers for the employees of the build
ing.
Built in the shape of the letter
H main building thanked by two
wings specially designed for the
two national honorary engineer
ing fraternities, Sigma Rho and
Theta Tau, the structure faces east
toward the towering ridge of the
Continental Divide. The concrete
foundations are rooted into the
solid rock of a rhyolite lava flow
millions of years old.
The entrance to the main build
ing and the fraternity wings look
out and down at the city Of Butte
and the scores of mines that dot
the hillsides. 1t seems a most APP

MUCH BUSINESS UP

Lewistown, Mont, Sept. 1-Di-
rectors of the Holiday Association
and officials of the Wcrkmen's
Protective Union will meet in
joint session at Heath Community
Hall, ten miles south west of here,
on Sunday, Sept. 8. Call for the
meeting has just ben issued by
president Rodney Salisbury and
Secretary A. N. Wankle by direc-
tior OF the executive committee.
The joint meeting will be at
tended by representatives from all
sections of the state. The announ-
ced purpose is discussion and ac-
ton on matters pertaining to the
affiliatiOn of Holiday Association
and other liberal groups, pending
cases in several sections of Mon
tana that may require proper
Holiday demonstrations, the secur-
ing of further publicity and extern
sion of organization work and the
measure of cooperation to be given
in the launching of a Farmer
Labor party in state and nation.
Several vacancies in the Holiday
Association directorate of thirty
will probably be filled by selection
of known leaders in sections where
Holiday work is still unknown, or
where local organization has not
been perfected.
The first session of the conven-
ton is scheduled for 10 a. m.
Members of the public, farmers and
workers who are interested in the
activities of the Holiday Associa-
ton or the Workmen's Protective
Union are invited to attend ali
meetings. 1t is anticipated that a
considerable number of guests in
Guiding President James Graham
of the Montana Federation of La
Dor will be present and participate
in the discussion.
The Holiday Association 1885 Al
manac and program in pamphlet
form is now on the press and
will be available for distribution
next week. The program booklet
will contain sixty-four pages this
season. Last year a forty-eight
page booklet was issued. President
Rodney Salisbury reports that il
the past sixty days he has travel.
ed eleven thousand miles by car IL
organization work. Full reports OF
extents of organization will b,
published shortly.

VINCENT dunno IS
BRUTALLY TREATED
Labor Leader Well Known
In Montana is Target of
Police Clubs. Badly In
jured While on Picket
Duty in Minneapolis

Vincent Dunn or Ray Dunn,
member of the Workers Party, and
one of the principal orators at
Brush Lake on July 81, was club
bed and beaten and seriously in
jured while participating in a
strike at the Strut-Wear Hosiery
plant in Minneapolis about ten
days ago.
Dunn, in common with several
dozen others was on picket duty
when the police attempted to es-
cOrt scab labor in to take over the
plant. The New Militant gives an
account of the brutal treatment as
follows:
"Early this morning a mass
picket line of five hundred work
ers battled with police as the lat
ter escorted scores of strike-break
ers into the Strut Wear plant
where a strike of the American
Federation of Hosiery Workers
has been on since last Friday.
Once a crowd of pickets broke

of the factory and was whipped in.

he was slugged across the head

manner that several ribs were
broken, and then thrown down OF

Ottawa, Can. Aug. %. - Food
for thought in large Quantities was
given politicians last week when
Alberta went in a large way for
the Social Credit party and in the
process all but obliterated Conser-
vatives, Liberals and United Far
mers.
In the provincial election the
United Farmers government, after
a reign of IA years was complete
ly and utterly routed.

liam Aberhart, 57-year old evan
gelist and school teacher, a new
comet in the political sky. Not a
single farmer or Labor candidate
was successful. The popular Fred
]. White. who led the Labor party
in the last legislature, fell by the
wayside in the sensational sweep
of the Alberta Social Credit Lea
que.
Heart of Program
The heart of t he Aberhart
plan to remedy this situatiOa
lies in the promise of a ''basie"
dividend of SIS month to every
adult citizen of Alberta, SO that
purchasing power may be in
creased. Children under age ara
to get monthly payments rang
ing from S. to $40.
This is the policy which Major
Douglas advocates, but his none
tary theories are much more COM
plicated than that. They involve
a whole new conception of credit
and money, which Douglas and
Aberhart contend is made to be
spent and not kept.
How the program is to be put
into effect is not clear. On that
matter even Aberhart appears Il
be in doubt, and he has announced
that nothing will be done for per
haps Is months.

depression would be completely
over by last month.
The theory has worked out a
bout that well generally. The
banks are glutted with funds. New
York banks report an all-time
high in deposits. Relief officials
report an all-time high in suffer
ing. Swollen bank deposits have
not ended depression.
Not Going to Business
Bank funds are not going into
business but into speculation and
government bonds. The full an
alysis of the distribution Of bank
assets shows:
Government financing .-.- S7q6
Loans for Speculation -. 1920
Loans for Business ---.-.. 1870
Reserve .-.----..-...-...--.....---- 1870
The government has sold the
banks federal bonds, thus building
up its deposits in the banks. Then
it has transferred those deposits
to others through federal spend
ing. Moreover, the government has
nine billions in gold reserve in
stead of less than five a few years
ago. All this has made it possible
for the banks to lend vast sums to
business. Yet borrowings from
banks are at the lowest level since
1896 having all but vanished.
