Silicosis Suits Blocked by
Court Edict

A reactionary decision handed down in St.
Louis, Mo-, by Federal District Judge George H.
Moore, based on the decayed assumption of risk
theory, is Interpreted by attorneys for the Ma
tional Lead Company as sufficient ground for
invalidating 800 claims aggregating 100000
in silicosis suits brought against the concern.
Wise Pryor of Bismarck, Mo-, had sued the
company for $4,000 damages, alleging that he
had contracted silicosis, a lung disease, during
80 years of employment. Failure of the COM
pany to install and apply adequate devices and
methods to prevent s~ilicosis was alleged.
Testimony was introduced showing that the
company had provided water for a wet drill in
the mine. Judge Moore ruled that this consti-
tuted an adequate safety device as we'll as suf-
ficient warning of the danger of the occupation
and held that no negligence by the company had
been shown.
He decided that when Pryor continued to
work for the company his action constituted an
assumption of risk for which the company was
not legally responsible.

Labor Spy Inquiry

The Senate Committee on Education and La
Dor, whose chairman is Senator David I. Walsh
OF Massachusetts, has reported favorably to the
Senate the resolution sponsored by Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin for a thorough investiga-
ton into labor spying, violation of free speech
and assembly, interference with the right of la
Dor to organize and bargain collectively and the
stores of machine guns and bombs held by cor
p~orations for use in strikes.
The resolution asked for an appropriation of
$4,000 to make the Investigation. It was re-
ferred to the Audit Committee of the Senate,
which passes on the disbursements of Senate
funds for such inquiries.
The report submitted by Senator La Toilette
said that testimony before the committee fur
nished "presumptive proof in abundance of VIC
lations Of civil liberties secured by the Constitu-
ton and Of undue interference with the rights Of
labor as defined in the Wagner Labor Disputes
Act" adding:
"A state of affairs is disclosed which is
markedly at variance with our lawfully estab-
lished national labor policy"
The committee charged that industrialists
since 1888 had been stocking up with gas bombs
and machine guns to be used in strikes and said
that according to estimates 10000 professional
spies" were employed by industry at a cost of
100000.

keep YOUR HEAD
WHEN DRIVING

Last year tourists entering Montana
were given data cards to fill out and re-
turn to the Highway Department.
Most Of these returned cards have
favorable comment on our roads and
especially on the excellent markings on
curves, winding roads and slow zones.
However, Mr.. Motorist, that doesn't
mean that you are to consider any
straight strech Of road to be an Indian
apolis Speedway or a Daytona Beach.
Sir Malcolm Campbell and others risk
only their own necks in their pusuit
OF speed records. YOU are risking the
lives of others as well as your own
when you drive at a dangerous rate.
Mechanical genius has made tremen-
dous strides in developing safety fac
tors on automobiles during recent
years. But nothing can ever be inven-
ted to take the place of GOOD COM
MON SENSE.
Montana laws are very generous in
regard to speed limits, but if you will
exercise a little Of the above mention
ed common sense it will help drive
death off the highways.

Senate Probe of Civil Liberty
Violations

Highly beneficial results in guaranteeing to
the masses certain rights fundamentally con-
nected with the preservation of democratic in
situations should follow the nationwide investi-
CATION of organized attacks on civil liberties au-
thorized by the United States Senate in the pass
age of the resolution sponsored by Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin.
The inquiry will be conducted by the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor. 1t will in
clude violations of the right of free speech and
assembly, interference with the right of work
ing men and women to organize in labor unions
and bargain collectively in accordance with the
provisions of the National Labor Relations Act,
the system OF labor spies used by many large
corporations to undermine trade unions and vic
timize trade unionists, employer-instigated vio-
lence and armed guards and detectives in labor
disputes, and the extent to which employers have
purchased supplies of ammunition of various
sorts for use in strikes.
Testimony regarding the extent of the infrac-
tons of civil liberties secured by the Constitu-
ton was recently given to the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor in the hearings held on
the resolution proposing the inquiry. The COM
mittee report favoring the investigation, writ
ten by Senator La Toilette, declared that "a state
of affairs is disclosed which is markedly at var
lance with our lawfully established national la
Dor policy"
The report charged that during the last three
years industrialists had purchased large quanti-
ties of machine guns, ammunition and gas bombs
for use in strikes. 1t also stated that estimates
warranted the assumption that around 10000
professional spies were in the employ of industry
at a cost of $80,000,OOO.
The comprehensive inquiry authorized by the
Senate will undoubtedly develop so outrageously
violated by INSCRIPTIONS employers.

Who Supports Landon

Alfred Mosson L,andon is a worthy Presi-
Dental candidate for the Republican Party.
The Republican convention did not nominate
Landon. 1t only went through the motions Of
r~atifying a choice made months ago.
1t was William Randolph Hearst, Americas
No. l Fascist, who picked Landon off the OBJ
scure shelf Of his Kansas governorship, wrapped
him in Du Pont cellophane, and delivered him
fresh and still smelling of alfalfa to the Re
publican convention.
And it was Rockefeller's Standard Oil, which
has invested many thousands Of dollars in the
Republican Party, that furnished the fuel for
the Hearst manufactured Landon boom.
The Liberty League gave him the once-over
and accepted him c. o. D.-with the Du Points
signing the checks.
Would-be President Landon has an unim-
peachable record for a Hearst-Liberty League

Silicosis bill for the Transfers union,

Fought the bill which would have

S6O0,0O0.00 in extra taxes.
Was commended by the Miners
Voice Of the Miners union, as well as
the Montana Labor News in the ar
ticles with reference to the support Of
labor in the session. The first session
in 1881 and the second session of Sen
ator Meyer show that in no instance
and at no time did Senator Meyer fail
to give his full and complete support,
This was true, not only from his rep
sentative standpoint, but from a legal
standpoint.
These bills, in addition to every la
Dor bill introduced in the Senate were
supported by Senator Meyer with all
the labor representatives from Silver
Bow County, with members Of the
Legislature, representatives OF the diff
ferent unions Or committees coming
from unions in Silver Bow County, in
every measure in which they were in
terested, and Senator Meyer led the
fight for them on the floor OF the
Senate.

He supported the New Deal when he saw
which way the wind was blowing-from Wall
Street, and opposed it when he discovered it was
blowing differently-from the same place.
He made a great record as a budget-balancer
by not contributing zone thin dime" out of the
state treasury for relief. In the first half OF
1885, 79H per cent of relief funds in Kansas
came from the Federal government, and the
burden of the rest was saddled on the cities and
counties.
He has shown his love for liberty and democ-
racy by sending troops, supplied with thor
oughly democratic tear-gas, bullets and bay
onets, against striking miners and unemployed
demonstrators.
He has expressed his solicitude for Americas
youth by closing down schools and slashing
teachers salaries.
In short, this simple, plain-folks millionaire
oil man has all the qualifications required to
carry out the program of the Fascist Hearsts,
the Du Points, MELONS, Rockefellers and other
such gentlemen who are trying to Black
Legionize America-Daily Worker.

Congress approaches adjournment
but the great problems that we set out
to solve, employment for the unemploy-
ed, security for the aged, better prices
and conditions for the farmers - all
these and many others are far from a
real solution. Nor will they be solved
by this Congress.
When the people learn to distinguish
the frauds from the real champions of
the people, then and then alone will
real fundamental reform be introduced
into Government.
The ballyhoo of election day must
be discounted n~inety-eight per cent
The prediction promises must be
weighed carefully and then taken with
a grain of salt. All eyes should be
fixed on Washington from, January
until adjournment and the measure Of
the men who will be returned for SER
vice taken by actions. Real men in
public service frequently dispair. Their
efforts seem so futile, so hopeless, so
insignificant. And yet a voice within
cries out to them, you must not give
up for in your actions lies hope OF

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:

IT ONG ISLAND US famous unde-
~ feated basketball team is plan
ming to capitalize on its collegiate
training. The HillhOuses, MersOns
and Benders hope to find some town
to represent on the pro circuit after
they graduate in June. The Cubs
will get no place in their bid for
Hank Leiber unless they wish to
exchange Frank Demaree for him
BY the same token the Pirates
are not interested in BostOn's at
tempt to peddle Wally Berger. They
claim that he is over his peak and
that his hand, broken in September,
is healing too slowly to make him
a good investment. Gus Lesne-
vich, Hackensack middleweight, is
Los Angeles's newest boxing excite
ment. Army and Brown will not
be on the Colgate 1887 schedule
which is just as well, since the Ma
rooms must take on Nebraska at
Lincoln.
During the Pitt game Fordham's
players counted four whenever they
used their much-discussed shift and
so slowed it down to suit official
requirements. Now Jimmy Crow
ley can be tipped off that he had
better do something about his quick

equaled for rough stuff. And, he
adds, it's just as well. Note for

n
~ the goal posts without fear OF
tangling with the law. A California
Judge has ruled in a test case that,
legally and morally, the posts be-
long to the winning team. Gil
Debit, highly acclaimed for his ex-
cellent Boston College coaching,
says that Temple is the second best
team he has viewed in five years.
First place goes to the 1885 Prince
tons. Incidentally, Princeton,
once famed for punt blocking pro-
clivities, is one of the few Eastern
elevens to fail to block one this
year. Dallas fans are implOring
home town sports writers to forget
the famous FOrdham boomerang
pass and start boosting Southern
Methodist for the Rose Bowl. They
claim that the Mustangs are even
better now than they were twelve
months ago.
If you hear Harvard's players
blasting Old Roscoe an6 Young
Sam, don't jump too quickly to con-
illusions. They merely will be pop
ping off about the blocking and
tackling dummies upon which they
must daily exercise. Archie Sou
eek Navy end, has plenty of prec-
edent to aid him when he leaps
to snare a pass. Three other Sou
ceks, all from the same family,

air service.
Add gents to keep an eye ON. 1.
Porter Tull, who was brought up
from the scrubs at the start Of the

bear watching-Ed Aldrico of T. C.

so good that they already have for
gotten Darrell Lester, who brought
All-America fame to the Horned
Frogs for the past two years. 4.
Also note the 183-pOund Tony Cal
velli of Stanford, who played guard
at prep school and started October
as a center. Since then he has be-
come a back in the Bobby Gray
son tradition. Which means that
he is a great plunger, even better
defensively, and set some sort of
record by completing six straight
passes In the U. S. C. contest.
