struggle and sacrifice are now being
assailed by the advocates of dictator
ship. Dictatorship and democracy
are entirely incompatible, irrespec-
tive of the political color of any par
ticular dictatorship.
1.-THE democratic spirit is ome
thing more than a form of govern
ment; it represents the innermost
urge of the people for self-expres-
sion and the free development of
the human personality. 1t is e
Elected in the multitude of organiza-
tons seeking to elevate the moral,
social and economic conditions of the
people, whether in the regions of
religion, politcis, science, literature,
and the arts. Trade Unionism for
the common people is the embodi-
ment of this spirit and its preserva-
ton is essential to a nation of free
men and women.
Dictatorship is discredited by his
tory. 1t exists on the assumption
that the individual citizen is unfit
for government in any sphere. 1t
seeks to assert the might and author
ity of a few people or groups within
the community to order the lives of
their fellows without their consent.
Sooner or later a clash will come
between the nations who hold to the
democratic conception and the die
tators who have assumed the power
of government in countries like
Italy and Germany. The world is
rapidly drifting to open conflict.
"Italy has defied the League of
Nations and subjugated the Abys-
sinian people in defiance of world
opinion. Hitler has broken treaties
which only a short while before he
had solemnly reaffirmed. The fas-
cist powers are rapidly arming for
war and the democratic nations,
fearful of their own security, are
following suit. Europe is in the
midst Of a competition in rearma-
ment, which is full of danger for
the peace of the world.
"There is no check upon the power
of the dictators to plunge the world
into war, except the determination
of the peoples in the democratic
countries to band themselves togeth-
er for the preservation of their free
dom. The preservation of democracy
is an essential factor in the preser-
walton of peace. Its frontiers are
not bounded by oceans or continents
"All have a common interest al
stake in the grave crisis into which
the world is drifting. Labor in ali
countries has especially the obliga-
ton to unite for the preservation Of
its liberties, and internal divisions
of whatever character ought not tc
be allowed to defect labor from this
supreme task"
Sir Walter urged the A. F. of L
to reaffiliate with the international
Federation of Trade Unions.
Matthew Vol assured him thai
the sentiment in favor of such {
move was growing stronger. He hello
out the prospect of reaffiliation il
the near future.
The New Leader suggests that re.
affiliation may be voted at the Con,
vention of the A. F. of L. in No.
vember.

meeting of the Commission appoint
ed by the Governor to make a study
Of the social welfare conditions and
laws Of Montana. The committee
met at Helena on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 10th. The Governor himself was
not there in the morning as he had
proceeded to Butte to attend the
funeral of the late Charles Nevin.
President Graham of the Montana
Federation of Labor dropped in late
in the afternoon to give his views
especially in relation to unemploy-
ment compensation. Most of the dis
cussion during the day revolved
around the subject of the best means
to consolidate the various agencies
and phases of Montana's social well
fare laws in order to present a com
prehensive program to the Legisla-
ture.
The facilities of the state universe
ty of Missoula are to be placed at
the disposal of the committee. Presi-
dent Simmons of the University of
Montana took a prominent part in
the discussion and also Father John
O'Connor of Carroll College in Hell

dictionary as the present one, TINS
will have to be done by constitu-
tional amendment. OF the various
amendments thus far proposed, the
Farmers and Workers Rights
Amendment Is. J. r. 249) is by far
the best.
1t is also important that labor
learn to draft effective legislation.
There is no excuse for presenting to
congress such loosely-drawn mea-
sures as the Wagner act.
In the past labor has typically
waited for some liberal legislator to
draft a bill, and then it has given
uncritical support. This explains
why so many measures, enthusias-
tically hailed by labor, turn out to
be of little value.
Labor will never make legislative
progress until it learns to draft its
own measures, using its own technl-
cal staff for that purpose.
Slow Political Progress
In this campaign the American Ia
Dor movement has made slow and
painful progress. Labor's Non-Par-
tisan league, formed by a group OF
unions to campaign for Roosevelt,
represents the old non-partisan pol
icy of the A. F. of L. carried out
with vigor. One may disagree en-
tirely with the non-partisan point OF
view, and yet rejoice that at least
labor has actively stirred itself ir
this campaign.
1t would have been far more hope
full, of course, had the league any
where supported labor candidates OF
nominated candidates of its own
Even in New York, where its adj
herents formed the American Labor
party, it failed to do this. This fail
ure makes it unlikely that a genuine
labor party will ever grow out o.
this particular effort.
And yet there has been politica
ferment in the ranks of labor that j!
all to the good. The masses have
been stirred with political enthusi.
ashland perhaps, having had one
last fling at supporting old-party
candidates, they may at the mex
election nominate candidates of theil
own on a genuine labor party ticket

DUTCH IRWIN
FOUND GUILTY,
HELD IN JAIL

Morris e. Dutch" Irwin and six
others are in Jail today while their
attorneys are preparing pleas for
O new trial as q result Of their
conviction on gambling charges by
o District Supreme Court jury last
night.
Six white and six colored per-
sons composed the all-male jury
that reported guilty verdicts on
the seven-count indictment. They
had been locked up since the
trial began Monday and their YER
dict was reached less than five
hours after the case was turned
over to them by District Supreme
Court Justice F. D. Let's.
Justice Let's, on motion OF AS
sistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb, committed the seven
to Jail pending appeal, after the
verdict was read. Defense counsel
vigorously protested that their
CllGI1US were ChIAbACo W AAOSNSAAA
on bond until the appeals are
heard, but, Justice Let's was firm
in his stand that mo substantial
questions of law" are involved in
the appeal and ruled that his COM
mitment order should stand.
Counsel for the convicted men
announced that motions for new
trial will be filed Immediately in
order to expedite the appeal. The
motions will be argued Friday Of
next week.
Convicted with Irwin are Leon

ness presented b. the defense dur
ing the trial, but closing argu-
ments of counsel were bitter. They
charged perjury to government
witnesses, pointing out that one of
the officers in his affidavit sup
porting the search warrant which
formed the basis of the indictment
had placed Irwin in charge Of q
dice table on a certain date, al
though in his testimony in the
trial the officer had said that Ir.
win was not in the club on that
day.

Irish Players Arrive to Make
Plough and the Stars

HOLLYWOOD, July 11.-Cul-
minating six months Of negotia-
tions, during the course of which
it was necessary to obtain the
consent of the Irish Free State
government, four members of the
famous Abbey Theater Players
from Dublin, Ireland, have ar
rived in Hollywood to report at
the RKO Radio Studios for prom
inent roles in the coming screen
version of "The Plough and the
Stars.
None of the four, Barry Fitz-
gerald, Eileen Grove, Arthur
Shields and F. j. Mccormick, has
ever appeared before a motion
picture camera, although they
scored a tremendous success in
the United States last year in
the stage version of the Sean
O'Casey play which they now will
bring to the screen. They will
be followed here on July 6 by
Denis O'Shea, of the same group,
Considerable difficulty was en-
countered by RKO in obtaining
the. services of the quintet of
Irish players, due to rigid reStric.
tions placed on their public ap.
pearances. The Abbey Theater,
generally recognized as the great
est folk stage theater in the world
is subsidized by the Irish Free
State and arrangements had to
be made for the players screen
work to come between their
stage easons. The R-K-O con-
tract also provides that not only
shall the individual players receive
credi@ under their own names
but also that the name of the
group itself shall receive featured
billing.

didn't believe it at first, but the
story seems to be true. Ginger

ton of Swing Time" is doing her
level best to arrange a rush trip
to Europe.
The picture will be finished
about July Is and, if the linden
burg is making a crossing at this
time, she says she is going to fly

threatens to go both ways by boat
