DENIES REBEL
CHARGES
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

American Federation Of Labor
charges that it's IL "rebel unions
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization are guilty of insur-
rection and dual unionism today
were denounced as groundless by
a high official of the CLIO.
The official would not permit
use of his name, but he gave Spe-
cific reasons for his denial of the
A. F. Of L. charges. The charges
were made because the CLIO unions
have launched a drive to unioni7e
the heavy industries along mass
or industrial lines in defiance Of
the craftunionized A. F. Of L.
Conference Here
Denial Of the charges came as
the IL rebel" unions gathered
here for conference to determine
their policy in meeting the A. F.
of L. ultimatum that they must
on August appear to be tried"
for dual unionism and inSurrec-
ton.
The C. I. o. cannot be guilty of
dual unionism, said the official
discussing it, because the organize
ton has no constitution and no
articles Of federation. Although
it has name, the c. I. o. is simply
q group Of loyal A. F. Of l.. units
favoring industrial or mass union
ization, he added.
Further, the C. I. o. is not guilty
Of Instruction, commended its Of
ficial, because the unions therein
seek complete cooperation from
the A. F. Of L. itself, and wish to
aid in the job of unioniZing the
unorganiZed industries.
Trial Doubtful
Whether the c. I. 0. forces will
appear for trial and submit this
reasoning to the A. F. of L. was
another matter entirely. When
the declarations executive council
recently called the industrial union
forces here and invited" them to

may be repeated when the SEIZED

GETTING READY
TO PUT PENSION
LAW In EFFECT

Former Governor John E. Erickson,
who was appointed Commissioner in
charge Of the operation Of Montana's
Old Age Pension law, is whipping the
situation into shape in Montana to
make the law effective the minute
Congress passes the necessary appro-
priation.
The feeling is widespread that the
effect OF the special election in the
Michigan district, where Werner w.
Main, running on a platform advocat-
ing the Townsend plan was elected by
a two to one plurality, will be to spur
Congress to act without delay.
If the appropriation is made, which
Huey Longs filibuster blocked at the
last session, all that remains to make
the measure effective in this state is
for the county commissioners in each
county to act.
The law is plain. There is a pro-
vision that there shall be taken from
the state relief funds, which receive
money from the liquor and beer in
comes, an mount which with the adj
dition authorized by the federal gov
eminent will make rs per cent Of the
allowance made by the county com
m%issioners for all over 65 years of age.
Under this arrangement, a county
that fixes the old age pension at $40
per menth, will receive $50 back from
the state and federal fund administered
by the State Old Age commission. OF
this $50 the federal government would
supply SIS and the State SIS.
If the county commissioners fixed
The pension at $50, it would receive
|$22.50 from the State and Federal gov
eminent. OF this the State would give
1880 and the federal government SIS.
The latter would match the joint
amount Of State and County in that
event. In Butte and Great Falls nearly
,000 are already listed in each com
munity.

PURPOSE OF THE
BIRTHDAY Ball

The purpose Of the Birthday Ball
for the President is to create, through
the direct help OF the citizens of our
country, funds with which to help vic
tins Of infantile paralysis and support
research efforts to wipe out the dis
ease itself.
Infantile paralysis again stalked thro-
ugh the land this year, adding thous-
ands OF new victims to the several hun
bred thousand already crippled. The
need Of continued effort in their behalf
is greater than ever, and once more
the call is made to our fellow-country-
men to participate in this humanitar-
ian work, which for the past two years
they have aided SO generously and with
such outstanding credit to our nation.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt has
again consented to lend his birthday,
January 80, 1886, for another nation
wide series Of Birthday Balls for the
benefit Of these infantile paralysis suf-
@ferers.
The President has approved the sug-
gestion that 20 per cent Of the pro-
ceeds raised by each local Birthday
Ball be retained in the community to
be disbursed to local or adjacent orth-
opedic hospitals, or for the treatment
of local infantile paralysis cripples, as
each local committee decides. This al
lotment was first made last year; the
plan worked well and has been approx
ed throughout the country. Thirty per
cent Of the proceeds will be turned
over to the National Committee for
delivery to the President to be pre-
scented by him to the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation for the continua-
.ion and extension Of its part in the
national fight against ~infantile par
.lysis.
The Presidents Ball is the rallying
point for all those who wish to HELP
STAMP OUT INFANTILE PARAL-
IYSTS.

Study AAA Production
Control

SPOKANE, Washington. ~ Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration rep
~resentatiyes from five northwestern
state met in Spokane last week to study
production plans for the l936-a corn
hog program.
The corn control program is Of inn
portance to the northwest although
comparatively little corn is raised here.
However, the corr production control
will safeguard against such a surplus of
corn in the midwest that farmers there
will be able to send corn-fed hogs into
this market to undersell locally grown
hogs.
The new contract provides the farmer
must raise not less than 50 per cent
and not more than 100 per cent of the
number of hogs assigned to him as a
base figure or normal production for
market quota Of the farming unit to
be operated by him in 1867. II the
farmer fulfills this contract, he will re-
ceive $1.25 per hog for the whole num-
Der Of hogs in his quota. If he fails to
raise 50 per cent OF his quota, $3.50 per
head will be deducted from his AAA
subsidy for the number OF hogs by
which he fails to reach so per cent OF
the base number. On the other hand.
for every hog he raises over his quota,
$500 is deducted from the subsidy.
The new contracts are effective as oil
December |, 1885, and provide for a sc
per cent increase in number OF hogs, as
compared with 1885 production.

Il may be quite wrong, and if so |

Laws prohibiting high prices, or fixing
prices at a certain level, have been
common. They have been frequent in
cidents of our occasional waves OF OPP
position to monopoly. This Algona
statute, however, says only that prices
shall not 60 below these fixed, and ex-
plicitly puts no limitation on how high
they may go.

Court Asked to Enforce

Petition Says Concerns Ignored
Order to End Their Unfair
Labor Practices.

Philadelphia. Pa.-The National La
Dor Relations Board filed a petition
with the Federal Circuit Court Of APP
peals here to enforce its decision re-
quiring the Pennsylvania Greyhound
Lines. Inc, and the Greyhound Mana
cement Company to cease its discrim-
nation against union members, to re-
.instate union members discharged for
union membership, and to bargain col
lectively with its employees through
their duly chosen representatives.
The complaint charging unfair la
Dor practices in violation OF the Wag-
ner-Connery Labor Disputes Act was
placed before the Board a number OF
weeks ago by the Pittsburg Division
OF the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway and Mo
TOT Coach Employees OF America.
The Labor Board, after exhaustive
hearings, found the companies guilty
OF the unfair labor practices, and is
sued a cease and desist order requir-
ing the concerns TO obey the law. The
companies refused to comply with the
Boards rulings. Thereupon the Board
in accordance with the National Labor
Relations Act, petitioned the Circuit
Court OF Appeals to enforce the Boa
rd's order with a court decree.
The Labor Act requires the Circuit
Court to sustain the Boards finding.

Government Ownership
OF Railroads Demanded
Railway Labor Chiefs Charge
Control by Financiers Is Re-
sponsibIe for Rail Difficulties.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Railway
Labor Executives Association opened
its campaign for government owner
ship OF the railroads with a statement
to members Of Congress emphasizing
various basic abuses inherent in pres
ent control OF banking interests
which, are more intent on milking
the roads than in rendering service
which railroads themselves are capable
.cf rendering.
After detailing a number OF instances
where banker racketeering in railroad
finance has brought distress both to in
vestors and railway employees, the
statement says the Government really
built the railroads by cash subsidies
and grants, allowed a service so neces-
sary to be used as money-making ma
chimes for a few %financiers and their
hangers-on, lent them money when
they were in difficulties caused by that
coterie cf financial buccaneers-and is
again lending them money"
Asking if 1T is not high time that
this vicious circle is ended the state
ment continued.
Are the same practices that have
caused misery for employees and losses
for investors, and deprived the roads OF
funds necessary to their upkeep and
development, to continue, or shall a
step be put, once and for all, to such
practices and the railroads be placed
in a position to render the service tC
which the nation is entitled?
We are Of the opinion that the
only way out of the morass in which
the roads have been placed by banker;
is over the road that leads to govern
ment ownership and democratic con
troll of the main arteries of commerce
the railroads.
I'VE therefore ask you again to con.
slider what we have said, and to note
that it is cur intention to place from
time to time, further information or
the subject OF and the necessity fol
government ownership Of railroads a
Your disposal"
