Labor Conventions Oppose War

War and the curtailment of civil liberties
were made the objects of labor's bitter opposi-
ton in convention proceedings of the gather
ing of State labor officials in the Oregon and
Massachusetts Federation of Labor.
Ben T. Osborne, secretary-treasurer of the
Oregon Federation of Labor in his report to the
convention declared that 1--WE are so occupied
with the economic situation that we fail to ap-
oreciate the gravity as the international scene
iarkens and tensions increase throughout the
world" He placed upon the shoulders of or
ganized labor throughout the nation the re-
sponsibility for leading the movement against
war, and declared that trade u~nionists Should
arge representatives in Congress to vote
against huge military appropriations and
should in every possible way encourage peace
sentiment"
The convention outlined a program to pre-
serve the neutrality of this nation, adopting a
four-square stand for peace. All Congress
sional representatives are requested to pledge
themselves to vote against any declaration of
war except in the case of actual invasion by a
foreign foe; further, the convention urged la
Dor cooperation with the peace movement.
The recent ~conclave of the Massachusetts
Federation of Labor adopted a resolution
against war and called upon the Federal Gov

Time to Halt the "Scare" Campaign
American Voters Are Not Fools, and LandOn
Leaders Should Cease Insulting
Their Intelligence.

Colonel Frank Knox, Republican candidate
Tor the Vice Presidency, and John Hamilton,
chairman of the Republican National Conven-
ton, are continuing their efforts to scare
American voters into supporting Governor
Landon. 1t is not a very creditable perfor-
nance and if the country were not well adj
yanced on the road to recovery it might prove
an extremely dangerous performance.
Colonel Knox has repeatedly stated that be-
cause of the policies of the Roosevelt admins
tration, mo life insurance policy and no saw
ngs account is SAFE" and Chairman Hamilton
supports that declaration by insisting that
banks were safer in 1882 than they are today.
Both statements are unqualifiedly false, and
no one knows that better than Colonel Knox
and Mr.. Hamilton.
Montana labor news., 1936-09-24

They are evidently proceeding on the theory
hat the American people are fools who are in
capable of recalling their experiences of four
years ago, or of recognizing conditions as they
Exist today.
In 1882 literally thousands of banks were
bankrupt and 80 per cent of those still open
we're in shaky condition. Every man who had
a dollar in a bank was nervous, because he had
40 assurance that he would ever see it again.
Today bank failures are practically unknown
and bank deposits of $4,000 or less are insured
by the government. That means that 80 per
cent of the depositors know their savings are
safe.
In 1882 insurance companies were in distress.
Even those that had invested their funds in
what were regarded as the very best securities
tound that prices had dropped to the point
were even 'gilt-edged" bonds were far below
par. The same thing was true of building and
loan associations and other financial institu-
lions.
Thanks to the policies of the Roosevelt adj
ninistration, practically all are now in fine
condition. So far as insurance policies are con-
cerned they were never safer than they are
today.
Insurance officials who gathered at the
White House this week announced that the as
sets of insurance companies have increased
$4,000, 100000 since Roosevelt took the oath of
office.
In the circumstances it is difficult to find
words to adequately describe the despicable
.actics of Colonel Knox and Mr.. Landon.. 1t is
evident they are attempting to scare the voters
because they do not want to frankly discuss
he issues of this campaign.
Governor Landon cannot escape responsible
ity for his associates tactics. He, too, has been
oersistently ducking the issues. Fox example,
ne likes to talk about "the American way of
iving"-whatever that may mean-but he
hasn't a word to say about insurance of bank
deposits, which is of such vital concern to the
small depositor, or about the power issue, or
he housing problem, or any number of other
i've issues.
On the question of relief he has never am
swered the charge that in the presence of a
delegation of Kansas citizens he declared that
s1.O8 per week was sufficient to support a
family of five.
LABOR submits that the time has come
when Messrs. Landon, Knox and Hamilton
should cease insulting the intelligence of
American voters and indulge in a frank, tenn
oerate discussion of the real issues of this cam

The money earned on the

KRtH1RR @A@f &9hAAAG4AN . wv
The above is what the town Of
ficials call revenue, the spending Of
$4,000 to earn $1,000.
Now we will go into detail to see
what the fire department produces.
The town taken for an example
has a population of about $4,000 and
its appropriation is $25 5000 for the
year for its fire protection, and now
we will see what this fire depart
ment produces for its community.
Now we will go through the files
Of the chief executive of the fire de-
partment, and this is what we find;
That he has an assessed valuation
of property of about $4,000, 900. This
is the amount of the responsibility
that is placed on the fire depart
ment for its protection to its COM
munity against the total loss by fire.
After searching further in the files
we find that the above fire depart
ment had responded to 1875 alarms
of fire, and the following represents
the value of the buildings and the
contents involved in the above
alarms, as follows:
Value of buildings. .......$ 791,77
Value of contents ........ 242,650
Total value involved 81, 034.4 25
Property loss to buildings. .$7,111
Contents loss ................ 2,026
Total loss involved in fires SO, 1877
Now we take the figures of the
total loss by fire, we deduct it from
the total value of the property in
volved in the fires, and we find the
following:
Total value of property
involved ...............$ 1,034,425
Total loss in fires. ....... 91,137
Value of property saved
from fire $1,O25, 288
Deducting appropriation
of fire department $4,000
Net profit of the fire
department ........ .$1,000,288
The above figures prove to us that
the $4,000 that was invested for
the fire department has actually
earned for its community the net
sum of $1,000, 288 that year, and if
we had no fire protection the above
figure of $1,034,425 would have been
a total loss to the community.
The net profit of the fire depart
ment of $1,000, 288 did not go to the
town treasurer in the form of rev.
enue, but is a direct saving to its
citizens and the property owners of
the community on their investment
OF $4,000 for fire protection.
The above statement is the answer
for the town official who makes the
statement that the fire department
is an expense to the town and that
1t does not produce revenue for its
town.
This is where the chief executive
of the fire department comes into
the picture. He must sell himself
and his department to his town Of
1lcials with the above thought in
mind, as the town officials do not
have the knowledge of fire fighting
and many of them are not much in
terested, as they are elected to Of
lice every two or four years.

THE FORGOTTEN
PUBLIC SERVANT

The fire fighters throughout the
United States and Canada in many
cases are finding themselves the for
gotten public servants of their COM
munity. In this ease the firemen
are partially to blame themselves,
and in many cases the chief execu-
tive of the fire department is also to
blame for these conditions.
My reason for this remark is that
the firemen are not as active as they
should be, and in many cases they
do not try to sell themselves to the
public or other civic organizations.
This can only be done by the proper
publicity.
The chief executive of the fire de-
partment must sell his department
and himself to his town officials,
newspapers and other civic organi-
cations for the activity of the de-
partment and for the good work
done by his department.
Several weeks ago I happene4 to
be visiting one of our n%eighboring
departments, and l got into a con-
~versation with the chief of the de-
partment. I said to him, How are
conditions in the Department." and
his reply to me was, "Oh, things
could be a lot better" I said,
What is wrong?" and he said that
he had requested a raise in the APP
preparation for his department for
necessary equipment and more men,
and the town officials had told him
that they could not do anything for
him this year.
The chief then said to the town
officials that Department P had re-
ceived a raise in their appropriation
for more men and equipment for
their town. The town officials then
replied to the chief that depart
ment P brings in a revenue for the
town, and that the fire department
was an expense to the town"
The following is an example of
the revenue produced by Depart
ment P:
The amount appropriated $4,000

the year received. ....... 5000

 There were periods of strength when the automobile shares per- formed on the upside and wide gains were made by the farm equipments and some of the chemicals. Late in the week however, the market easily slipped back as traders took to the sidelines awaiting more definite in- dicatlon of the trend.

High School Teacher Sorry She Remarked On Petting

Philadelphia, March 2e--CUP)- Motherly Lillian K. Wyman, a high school teacher, my goodness-ed ex- tensively today because she was dis- covering every minute how greatly her remarks about "a little betting" being good for school girls had been misunderstood. She didn't mean 1t that way at oil. What she really meant was that certain type of girl, the girl with an inferiority complex, "the forgotten girl of the high schools" should get more, so- cially, out of life. Mrs. Wyman, Q small, gray-haired pedagogue, was distressed that she had startled a meeting of the Pennsylvania asso- ciation of deans of women, when she remarked during An address on student problems thatsa little pet- ting would overcome some girls in- feriority complexes. She was even more distressed that she would have to face the student government of her own high school to which she ts faculty advisor.
