Vital Need of Labor Press

The freedom of the press, guaranteed to us by
the Constitution, must depend, after all, upon the
support which the readers of the press give to it.
We need scarcely more than mention the fact
that the usual daily newspaper, to say nothing of
the magazines, do not feel called upon to es-
pouse the cause Of organized labor. Such fair
play as is given this cause by these publications
is based upon the unansWerable strength of the
position Of the labor movement.
But we wish to emphasize the fact that if
there were no great section Of the national pub
locations known as the Labor Press, which gives
its first and last loyalty to the workers of the
nation, and especially to those who are members
of the organizations of labor, the other sections
Of the nations publicity organs would probably
paw much more scant attention to the rights of
labor.
Circulation is the life of any publication.
Given readers, any publication is in a position Of
power, in proportion to its friends who show
their loyalty to their own cause by their sub
scriptions to their own press, and by their &C
tivity in helping to enlarge its circulation.
The rights of labor will always depend, to a
great extent, upon the freedom Of the labor
press. A labor paper which circulates freely in
its community is not only an index of the
power of labor in that locality it is a very def
mite part of the organization itself, and its func-
tons are so vital that neglect of the labor press
is sure to reflect upon the qualities of the labor
movement itself.

ton in the United States. 1t is opposed to all
labor unions and opposed to unionism in general.
Among its members are practically all of those
captains of industry and big employers who
have tried for years to kill the organized labor
movement.
Not only did the National Manufacturers As
ISOLATION declare war on President Roosevelt, the
Guffey coal law, the Wagner labor relations
law, the agriculture relief law and all other pro-
gressive. reform and social legislation recently
enacted, but the American Liberty League and
that old mutual-admiratioh society known as
the United States Chamber of Commerce have
done the same. They are out in the open to de-
feat President Roosevelt for reelection.
All right, gentlemen. You have declared war
on the President and all OF those who approve
his policies. You have declared war against la
Dor and the entire mass of common people OF
this nation. Labor and the common people ac-
cept the challenge. There are more than H.
100000 people out Of work in this country, and
you have declared war against them, too, be-
cause in your declaration of war you make no
provision for them to work and live. Under the
leadership Of President Roosevelt these ll,0O0,-
600 unemployed people are being cared for and
kept from starving. You propose TO take away
that relief and let these people go hungry. Now,
you just wait till election day and see what those
100000 people do to you at the polls.
Gentlemen of the National Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, you have made a colossal blunder in
declaring war against the President, against la
Dor and against the common people. You are
brazenly fomenting a class war in this country
which every good citizen outside of your as
ISOLATION fervently hoped might be avoided for
all time. You are deliberately stirring it up.
Labor and the common people can outvote you
ten to one at the polls. Years ago you could
and did drive and compel your employees to vote
your way, but that time is past. You can't do
that any more. Labor is free to vote as it pleas
es, in spite of threat, coercion or intimidation.
That's the reason why you have declared war.

Waiting For An Answer

A serious proposal has been made by eight in
ternational unions affiliated to the American
Federation of Labor for an immediate large
scale campaign to organize the steel industry.
They are ready to back up their proposal with
half a million dollars and the services of trained
organizers. Their offer has been described as
having Strings attached to it" But the only
conditions which they have outlined as neces-
sary for a successful campaign are that its lead
ership must be responsible and aggressive and
that steel organizations must be along industrial
lines.
1t is difficult to see how any reasonable person
can object to either of these conditions. Ger
tainly the steel workers themselves will not OBJ
iect, since the whole proposal is in line with
every organized expression Of opinion they have
made. And the A. F. of L. itself recognized the
necessity for industrial organization in steel
when it granted the A%malgamated Assn. of Iron
Steel and Tin Workers a jurisdiction which COW
ers the entire industry,
Pres. VIM. Green of the A. F.. of L. has re-
Piled to the Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton, which made the proposal on behalf of the
eight unions, that he has submitted the matter
to the members of his executive council for their
consideration and decision. He did not grant the
Committee the immediate conference on the sub
ject which it requested.
The proposal is one which calls for immedi-
ate action. 1t cannot wait on the next meeting
of the executive council in May. The steel
workers and all of labor look with increasing
impotence for the organizing campaign which
has been called for by convention after conven-
ton.
A definite plan of action, backed with hard
cash, has now been put forward by unions re
presenting more than a third of the A. F. of L.
membership. If the council members don't like
anything about this plan, let them put forward
a better one. But there must be no more delay.

They Declare War

Big business has openly declared war against
President Roosevelt. It is not a yelled threat on
the part of big business. Instead, it is an open
declaration that anyone can understand. At the
recent convention of the National Manufactur-
es Association, held in New York, speaker after
speaker denounced President Roosevelt and all
the new laws and policies that he has sponsored
including the Guffey coal law. When the con-
v%ention was over, leaders of the National Manu-
facturers Association declared that the associa-
ton was now on record openly at war against
the President and that it would be war to the
hit. The National Manufacturer Association
is the most notorious anti-union labor aggrega-

Broken Center Line
On Highway Means
Pass Or Not Pass

The minimum width of Montana
highways is twenty-four feet. On new
construction and reconstruction we are
making them thirty-feet, as an added
safety factor. However, anyone should
be able to control a car on a twelve
foot traffic lane if travelling at a rea-
sonable rate OF speed. Moreover there
is a stripe painted on the paved roads
to show you, Mr.. Motorist, which part
OF the road belongs to you. When you
straddle that line or cross it to pass a
car ahead you are encroaching on the
territory Of cars travelling in the OPP
posite direction. 1t is your fault alone
if you place them in jeopardy.
Every driver should know by this

SENATE WEIGHS
 ALASKA MINING CLAIM MI:
Dmond Asks Action on Bill to Reduce Time
 for Objections

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today that he intends to ask the Senate Public Lands Committee to speed action on his bill reducing the period for filing objections to mining claims in Alaska.
 The House passed the measure several days ago and sent it to the Senate. Dimond predicted that the Senate will pass it virtually with out opposition if the committee re- ports favorably on the measure, which reduces the period for ob- jecting to applications from ten months to four months.
 This bill will. if enacsed, reduce the time for filing adverse claims against application for mineral pat ents in Alaska from any time with in eight months after date of final publication, as now provided, to any time within the 50 day period of publication of the notice "or within sixty days thereafter"
 It is believed that the proposed legislation will greatly expedite the work of the General Land Office in handling applications for nm eral patents, and because of im- provements in transportation and communication facilities in the Ter ritory it is felt that. all valid ad- verse claims may ready be filed in the appropriate local land office within the sixty day period Of pao- lication or within sixty days there after. which will result in consid- erabIe benefit to those desiring pat ents.
