INDEPENDENTS ASSURED OF SCHOOL ELECTION


Once more the people are called upon to exercise their con-
sttutional right in the election of school trustees on Satur-
day, April 4th.
Public schools as an institution in the United States was
first started in Massachusetts and this was during the colon
ia1 times when danger and privation faced the coonists and
their children. There is something noble about the action
Of these early pioneers voluntarily taxing themselves SO that
their children could be elevated by the acquisition of know
ledge. 1t shows a spirit Of sacrifice and Of determination
to guard, defend and enlighten their children from the pit
falls Of ignorance and superstition. From this small begin
ming the public school system of the United States has adj
vanced to possibly the greatest factor in the lives of the
American people.
Those early f%orefathers couldn't possibly have visioned the
extent Of the changes which the corporations and the con-
centrations of wealth have made upon this institution for
which they were willing to sacrifice so much. Today we
hear Of Teachers Oaths and other subversive practices being
forced upon instructors and upon the children and in their
teaching.
Much water has passed under the bridge since those re-
volutionary fathers built the first rude log school house.
They left the old world for freedom to think and freedom to
act. There is a striking and wonderful analogy between
these first builders, in relation to school houses, and the pre-
sent day liberal and militant minded people who seek to keep
the schools as places where truth shall be known, and in
telectual freedom be given and allowed the children.
It is this principle that the Independent School Ticket Of
School District No. l stands for; the principle Of the vel
fare of the children and that in the culture which they re
ceive shall be embodied all that is progressive, all that is
modern, and that the child shall know something of the
social and economic upheavals Of the world in which he lives
and the truth Of the causes that are causing these upheavals.
This school election typifies one side, lead by the indie
%pendents. the progress i've and liberal minded forces and on
the other side the conservative, corporation controlled poll
ces which the people Of the whole world are seeking now to
break.
Let the people rule, let there be more truth. Let the child
rem be taught more light, more intellectual freedom, not more
darkness, more tyrannical bigotry. There is nothing so
sitting as the tactics and methods used by those in power
and riches to keep themselves in that position.
Working men and women and business men who depend
on these workers = support your candidates in the school
election for a freer, fuller, more progressive education for
your children.

City Council
CO-Operates With the
Protective Union

"he City Council and Mayor Of
. aconda have once more proved that
{ ey are sympathetic with the desire
I relief workers to see that the work
rs receive fair play and an opportu-
lily to express their opinions freely
and openly. The new Mayor OF Ana
conda, II, J.. McCarvel, with the APP
proval of the entire City Council, ap-
pointed a special committee OF the
Council, composed OF Alderman Frank
J. Finnegan, Chairman; Mike Nee and
Frank Herbolich, to act as a grievance
board to hear the WPA workers and
others who may have any grievance
in connection with projects sponsored
by the city.
The members of the committee APP
pointed by the Mayor are all union
men, and the chairman has had ex-
perience in such matters before and
that experience will prove Of value to
the workers in this instance.
The cooperation OF the Workers
Protective Union and other unions Of
Anaconda have received from the
Mayor and City Council members dur
ing the last two years should be les
son enough for those who toll to vote
members OF union labor into office at
all times and safeguard their interests
in the future, We hope other City
Councils will adopt the fine example

Reports From Headquarters of Progressive Party
Indicate That Voters VIII Elect Mccarthy of
Miners Union, Attorney Henry Tyvand and
Anil Sunberg.
Trades Council Is
Confident Of Victory

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, Tuesday night, endorsed the
three candidates of the Independent
School Ticket upon the recommended
ton Of its legislative committee. This
action occasioned a general discussion
of the ticket and brought forth a his
tory o fthe participation OF the unions
in school affairs. The meeting was more
ike a rally at the Independent head
quarters, than a meeting of the Trades
and Labor Council. Pat Kelly, gen
eral chairman of the Independents,
started the fireworks in an appeal to
the trade unions OF Silver Bow County
to consolidate their forces and support
Mccarthy, Tyvand and Sundberg,
morally. financially and on election
day.
The speaker assured the assembled
delegates that the response at head
quarters indicates that the Independent
candidates are certain to be elected.
Charles Whitley, former Independent
member Of the Board, reminded his
audience that whether the opposing
trustees sailed under the banner Of
Peoples, Women's, or any other title,
it is still the same old party dominated
by the Chamber of Commerce and its
trustees as representatives Of the cor
porate and business elements Of the
community, must in decisions, comply
with the dictates Of their economic
masters.
Krabler and Duncan brought out in
strong relief the prominent part that
had been played by Frank Reardon and
Nh. Lewhalder, the present Independ-
ent members Of the Board, in their as
sistance to the organization Of the
Teachers Union; the part that had
been played by the Independents prior
TO the last election, when they were in
control OF the district in adopting the
single salary schedule pay for teachers,
which is receiving so many compli-

HELENA, April Wv. P. Pilgeram,
Democrat, speaker of the Montana
House OF Representatives, today an
nounced his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the office of
Railroad Commissioner and for the
the place now held by Leonard Young,
Republican.
Speaker Pilgeram is the first candi-
date OF consequence to announce for
the nomination for this office. He is
listed as a progressive and it is ex-
pected he will have the backing OF the
progressive group that organized the
last House of Representatives.
Asserting that, while he stands for a
reduction of light and gas rates where
justified, he is not opposed to business
or the development Of business enter
prises, Mr.. Pilgeram further outlines
his proposed policies in a prepared
statement.
The candidate points to his record
made in five sessions OF the Montana
House of Representatives and states
that his campaign slogan is, "a record
made is better than the best Of prom
ises."
Mr.. Pilgeram's announcement in full
is as follows
In announcing to the Democratic
voters Of the state OF Montana that !

DENNIS MCCARTHY

Dennis Mccarthy, who is the young
est one of the three candidates, is just
80 years old having been born in this
city. Mr., Mccarthy is unmarried and
lives with his mother at al East La
Platte street. For the past year he
has been the financial secretary Of the
Butte Miners Union and represents his
organization in the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council. He was educated
in the Butte schools. Possibly the
outstanding trait Of Mr.. Mccarthy is
his wide range Of experience in many
types Of work and business. He is a
deep student OF economics and thor
oughlY conversant with educational and
sociological problems. From "A years
experience in the mines, he learned
much OF the mental attitude OF the
miners and their aspirations. He
should be a very valuable man on the
Board OF school District No. /.
Montana labor news., 1936-04-02

The final member composing the
splendid ticket is Anil Sundberg of 1910
Lowell Avenue where he lives with his
wife and two children, both OF whom
are attending Butte High school. Mr..
5undberg hardly needs an introduction
to Butte people. For years he was
prominent in athletics especially base
bail and is also known throughout
Montana for his trade union actiyi-
ties. He was a former secretary OF
the Electrical Workers Union No. 623
and was formerly secretary OF the
Butte Building Trades Council. He
has taken a very active part in the
life Of this community and is well
thought OF. In fact three better can
didates than those mentioned could
hardly have been chosen by the PEG
pie to represent them and their child
rem.
Independent headquarters have been
established at 63 West Broadway where
meetings are held every evening at
7 80 to which the public is cordially
invited. The issues OF the campaign
are fully discussed. The record Of the
Independent Party stands as an illumi-
mating light over the schools Of this
district. Not many years ago, the In
dependents, through a policy Of econ
omy wiped out the debt Of the District
and have always took a leading role
in forward looking and constructive
policies. The headquarters of the party
is full of activity and committees are
busy a%cquainting the public with the
issues of tic campaign and urging them
to exercise their franchise on election
day. 1t was the Independents who
introduced and adopted the single sal
airy schedule in paying teachers. This
plan is considered by educators as one
Of the most progressive measures yet
devised in awarding teachers. Instruc-
tors are paid on both experience and
education.

Tribute to Anaconda

SIG Cherry Street, Anaconda, Mont.
March %, 1886
Montana Labor News,
Gentlemen;
The following letter from Hayre is
ef-explanatory and, l believe, will be
very edifying if published in the La
Dor News. 1t will show the spirit of
sportsmanship carried from the fields
and floors into real life. That train
ing in real craftsmanship will be a
lasting and an %ennobling force in the
lives Of the youngsters, a benefit to
society and the labor movement,
Anaconda can afford to lose all its
games if the boys and girls are taught
the real principles OF fair play and
taught to patronage and support only
those who play the game Of life on the
square. Three cheers for the boys and
girls and their fine instructor.
Fraternally,
FRANK FINNEGAN.

Mr.. Brown illustrated his talk
with series of colored slides show
ing the contrast between new and
old methods of lighting. He stressed
particularly the need for making
lighting units a functional part of
building design and pointed out
examples by means of slides.
I. w. Clark, of the Westinghouse
Electric Co., followed Mr.. Brown
with talk on kitchen planning.
THE kitchen is purely me-
chanical room" he said, and has
only three main divisions, the re-
frigeration unit, the cleaning up
unit or sink, and the stove unit.
The housewife is kitchen conscious,
and a well-planned kitchen sells
or rents a house."
Slides were used by Mr.. Clark to
illustrate the properly planned
kitchen. He discussed four plans,
the L. the u. the broken L and the
