Montana Farmers
Newspaper Guild
JOIN FORCES TO CHALLENGE
HEARST.

GREAT FALLS, Oct. 5-The Mon
tana Farmers Union has joined
hands with the Seattle Newspaper
Guild and organized labor in their
fight to prevent the ruthless de-
struction of the Seattle chapter, as
we'll as the American Newspaper
Guild, by William Randolph Hearst,
owner of the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer and a nationwide chain OF
newspapers and magazines.
One of the highlights of the state
convention, which concluded here
Saturday, was the expose of Hearst
tactics in his desperate effort to
fight the production tax on the
Hearst-controlled Homestake mine.
The Farmers Union of South Da-
kota was successful in securing the
passage of the tax for the first time
last year. 1t vas also recalled that
one of the bulwarks of the Hearst
fortune was wealth produced from
Montana copper properties in the
early days of the state.
The resolution adopted by the
Montana Farmers Union follows:
WHEREAS, William Randolph
Hearst, publisher, whose nation
wide chain of newspapers was born
of wealth dug from the natural re-
sources of Montana and South Da-
kota and who has proven himself
the foremost enemy of democracy
and of the farmers and workers OF
the United States, is nov engaged in
a struggle to smash the American
Newspaper Guild, a young union OF
newspaper men and women, affili-
ated with the American Federation
of Labor, and
WHEREAS, members of the
American Newspaper Guild on the
Hearst-owned Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer have been forced to strike
as a result of the homogeneous dis
elimination against Guild members
and discharge thereof, and
WHEREAS, only a vigorous anc
united front of the American farmer
worker and lover of democracy car
force this publisher to deal fairly
with his organized employees and te
change his Fascist editorial position
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
THAT, The Montana division of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union in convention assembled
hereby calls upon its members, then
families and friends to cease read.

CORRECTION

1t was forcibly brought to the
attention of the Clerks union and
the Montana Labor News last week
that an error had been made in the
Clerks list in relation to Mrs. Mary
Campbell, 1872 w. Copper Street,
whose name, address, and car num-
Der was published in the Montana
Labor News as having walked h
the banner at the Athens Grocery
Store. The car number was incor-
rect and it was also proven that
Mrs. Mary Campbell was entirely
innocent of any violation of the rule.
In fact a deeper investigation
showed that the Campbell family
has a long and consistent record of
union loyalty.

~THE way golf balls are made nova

shorter iron shots to the green on
longer tee shots. But notice that
the men who score do 1t in the same
old way-by avoiding undercluooing
themselves and by taking enough CLUB
to get the ball as far as they want 1t
to CO."
Along this line Bill Hardy, Bob Bar

a warm that illustrates the point George

TO play with my boss here at Chevy
Chase when Macdonald was at Friend

used to take No. 4 iron on the fourth

other boys who couldn't hit the ball
as far as he were taking mashies and
spade mashies. And you know Bob
Macdonald in those days could smack
q ball about as far as any living man.
I asked Bob why he took the longer
clubs one day. His reply was char
scteristic. I don't fiatter myself that
I'm going to hit the ball perfectly

SUR RAHGugT OEE THlE TEE
BY w. r. Me CALLuM

Those words are truer than any
ever spoken about this game.
There are hundred pros who can
play par golf from the tee to green,
but how many great putters are there?
Not many Of 'em can keep on knock
ing the ball into the hole under all
conditions. That Is why I say the
hardest shot In the game is the shot
that puts the ball into the cup, and
it goes for any class Of golfer, duffer
or expert.
Take yourself. Mr.. Black. When
you are putting well you can get
around here in 78 or 80. But If you
are not putting that ball in the cup
you may shoot up to 90. You know
how that is. But that Dickey man
Is quite putter, and yet I've seen
him 60 all to pieces and blow q good
score by missing Q few puts. The
psychological angle Of bad putting is
something maybe you haven't figured
on.
When you are hitting that ball into
the hole you figure you can play q few
bad shots to the green's and still get
a good score. But boy, when you are
putting badly you know you can't miss
anything"
