Montana labor news., 1936-05-07

The labor record OF Harry J, Free
bourn is one OF which labor can be
proud In the years OF 1909, to 1912,
he was successfully a member OF the
Mill & Smeltermen's Union Of Butte,
and the Butte Miners Union No. /.
Studying law at night while employed
he was admitted to practice in 1913.
In 1925 and 1927 he represented the
Typographical Unions of Butte and
Anaconda in wage arbitrations, locally
in Butte, and in Indianapolis, Indiana,
on appeal. The first wage arbitration
resulted in securing a 50-cent per day
increase which was taken away on APP
peal in indianapolis. The second hear
ing resulted in a 75-cent per day in
crease and a years back pay. Harry
was made an honorary member Of both
Typographical Unions.
During the transfers and machinists'
strike at Butte in 1880, as county at
torney, he stood with the union men, at
a time when the sheriff stood with the
employers. He refsued to. meet with
the employers, and when the sheriff
and employers, asked the Governor for
militia, told the Governor he did not
need them. He refused to prosecute
the union men upon complaint of scabs.
During the w. F. session OF the
Montana Legislature he appeared be-
fore a committee in behalf Of the Butte
Miners Union in support Of legislation
beneficial to them.
Striking against intolerable working
conditions and insufficient wages in
1884, the Butte Miners Union found
that Harry F~reebourn stood firmly with
them on every occasion.
In February, 1885, he acted as attor-
ney for an investigating committee OF
the House of Representatives, at Hell
ena, to investigate the activities OF the
A. c. NJ. and Montana Power Company
during the last election. Chairman
Fowler, in asking Harry to act as at

Autos Injure More Than
War Bullets

During the World War there was
much propaganda-fed hatred OF the
"barbaric Boche" and the "heartless
Hun" with casualty lists inspiring
fresh invective.
How we raved at the enemy who
shot our boys on the battlefield and
bombed our civilians behind the lines.
$500 American soldiers were killed in
action.
We'll, Mr.. Motorist, suppose we har-
monte on a hymn of hate dedicated
to the things responsible for the 10000
American deaths from motor vehicle
accidents in 1884.
We expect fatalities in the trenches.
Mar and death are partners. But
greedy, violent death has no right on
our arteries OF industry and pleasure.
Carelessness permits him there.
Sometimes a quick, merciful death is
preferable to manning. Aside from the
$4,000 killed in action, the American
forces in our last war suffered 224,936
battle casualties. Sherman said "War
is hell In 1884 we had 954,0OO motor
vehicle casualties not counting deaths.
Sherman never drove a car.
What a toll to pay for lack OF care,
courtesy and caution. Think of the
suffering and remorse.
We all know the major causes, ex-
cessive speed, violation Of traffic rules,
drink and sheer carelessness. We can
do something about it. Repeat each
day, Il will be careful, courteous and
cautious that | may do no injury to
myself or others" Then practice what
you preach and we will drive death off
the highways.

The ruling by the Court of Appeals
is expected materially to affect the
conduct of 43 similar suits brought by
holding companies in other Federal
Jurisdictions. A dissenting opinion
from the decision by the Appellate
Court was filed by Associate Justice
Harold NJ Stephens, who said he
| thought the District Supreme Court
acted well within its discretion In
staying proceedings in the seven suits
until the Electric Bond & Share case
could be decided by the United States
Supreme Court.
Associate Justice D. Lawrence Gro
ner filed a separate concurring opin-
ion, which differed from the majority
ruling in that he was Of the opinion
that the lower court might have tenn
porarily stayed proceedings, but should
not have entered stay order for an
indefinite period.
He, said Justice Bailey's stay order
was substantially an injunction
against these plaintiffs, preventing
them for an indefinite period from
litigating a question of legal rights
which they insist the act of Congress
unlawfully impairs. If, instead, the
stay had been temporary. if the court
had announced it would not set the
case for trial except at the reasonable
convenience of the parties, think its
action we'll within its discretion"
Both Justice Groner and Justice
Van Orsdel made the point that the
lower courts order was premature be-
cause it was entered before the issues
had been framed by the defendant s
answer to the injunction petitions.
Suits Are Contrasted.
The majority opinion stated that
the power of the court to delay cases
extends only to the determination Of
which of two or more cases pending
in the same court or in courts of
similar Jurisdiction and regarding the
same issues and parties, shall be first
heard.
Contrasting the Electric Bond &
Share case and the suits here, the
court said "these cases are pending
in courts of different Jurisdictions.
the parties are not the same, the
issues involved are not such that the
determination of one case would con-
stitute a full determination of the
others, nor are there present any Of
the conditions which would justify
depriving plaintiffs of their day in
court and an opportunity to be
heard"
1t was further held that the stay
cannot be justified on the ground
that a decision in the Bond & Share
case might simplify the issues here
by furnishing a valuable precedent,
the court adding:
Indeed, from comparison of the
bill in the Bond and Share case with
the bills in the instant cases, 1t s
dificult to conclude that decision
in the Bond and Share case could

thentic information is becoming avail
able. 1t comes in the form of the
published writings Of two men.
When the Roosevelt administration
came in, two Of its key positions were
occupied by Hugh S. johnson and
George N. Peek They we're put at the
heads of the New Deals two principal
innovations-Gen. johnson as head
Of N. r. A., Peek as head Of A. A. A.
Both later resigned. Both. since in
private life, have written. Both have
described the New Deal, described it
from standpoint Of incompatible
advantage, from the very innermost
sanctum.
What Peek Says.

portions Of a diary, which he is con-

They all claimed to be friends of
somebody or other and mostly of Felix

farmers into device to introduce the
collectivist system of agriculture into

Four Weyerhaeusers Named
Along With Morgan and
Astor.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK.-Arthur D. Howden
Smith played a game of numbers in
his effort to find the men who really
run this country.
Having found 30 who seemed to fit
the specifications, he put their case
histories into a book called Men
Who Run America" He described
his numbers game this way:
The 80 men, families and cor
porations discussed as case histories,
were selected in the first place from a
canvass Of some $4,000 names. Whole
sale eliminations from this preliminary
list left 1900 names. and these were
reduced to a master list Of 286 names
The 30 finally chosen we're singled out
as typical Of various phases of capital
ism. good. bad and in between.
The only other touchstone employed
was that each should represent the
element of power. in national sense,
rather than mere wealth"
Listed in the 80 typical lease his
tories" are, among others, j. P. Nor
gan. Pierre S. Lamont and Irenee du
Pont: four of the Weyerhaeusers OF
lumber fame, Rudolph NJ, Frederick
E.. John Philip. jr.. and Frederick
King; Vincent Astor. John D. Rocke-
feller. jr.; Winthrop w. Aldrich,
George F. Baker and Robert and
Allen S. Lehman of the banking firm
of Lehman Bros.
Smith is by no means sure that his
list of 80. or even the 286 names he
includes in an appendix, are exactly
the men most powerful.
Capitalism as system. Is not
necessarily harmful :" he adds.
Capitalism allowed to ruin wild can
be as dangerous to the fabric of a
democracy as any other system"

making Of that record by Congress
than has any other President of the
United States on the work of the
National Legislature.
The New Deal Convention could
just as well be held on the White
House lawn in less than a half hour
proceeding-for one man dominates
the American Government today just
as one man holds sway in Germany
and Italy-a phenomenal demonstra-
tion of the fact that the Constitu-
tion is sufficiently flexible to permit
the Congress to introduce facism and
then, by concentration of political
power. make whatever amendments
are necessary in the constitution to
ratify the Facist policies that hap
pen to be declared invalid by the
