TELEGRAM5 WERE ORDERED SENT TO
WASHINGTON CONCERNING INHUMAN
TREATMENT BY The ADMINISTRATION

Bitter condemnation of the ma
tional Democratic administration
was expressed at the Trades and La
Dor Council over the inhuman
slashes in WPA workers in Montana.
A report submitted to the Trades
Council by the relief committee stat
ed that 1000 people had been laid
off WPA in the district supervised
by James Combo with headquarters
in Butte and that 800 of these were
of Silver Bow County
An incident was cited where a
Butte destitute man and his wife
appealed to the Workers Alliance
union asking them to help them. He
had just been laid off WPA. He had
no home or money. Through Off
GERS of the Workers Alliance he and
his wife were furnished a place to
reside without cost. 1t is such heart
rending incidents as this that are
causing the smoldering resentment
of the working people to burst forth
in opposition to the inhuman treat
ment Of the WPA administration.
A story was recited by one of the
state officials recently in connection
with WPA work that a family in a
certain part of the state was living
in a basement of an abandoned work
shop. In this basement was piled
old machinery covered with grease.
Child welfare and aid to dependent
children and all that sort of thing
that is proposed under the National
Social Security act seems just a
mockery when one considers that
children in this enlightened age are
not given any better home than that
accorded discarded and worn out
automobile cast offs.
The Trades and Labor Council
sent vigorous protests to both con-
gressmen, both senators and to Hen
ny Hopkins of the heartless manner
in which deserving people were cut
off from work relief. The telegram
follows:
"Slashes in WPA inhuman. Unions
deplore federal action and register
our bitterest condemnation. We urge
you to have National Administration
modify its former order curtailing
employment"
The government isn't short of
money, the government isn't short
of credit nor of revenue; it is better
off financially now than it was a
year ago, or two years ago. At least
we can say this for the corporations,
that when they are making money
and when their revenues are increas-
ing they show some semblance of
consideration for their employees.
The government shows just the OPP
posite attitude. Perhaps, however, it
all comes from the corporations
bringing pressure upon the govern
ment to get out of work relief activi-
ties, however if the big business in
erests are bringing pressure to bear
upon the Government to make these
slashes, it is no justification for the
government to do it.
The action of the WPA has caused
an upheaval all over the United
States. Perhaps it is true that some
people are working on WPA that
r not deserving, but that doesn't
alter the situation n bit, it would
be better that ten people received a
little more than their share under

BILLINGS UNIONS
SUPPORT NELSON
Recommend That Prosecution
Be Halted.

Whereas, the welfare of Montana
and the nation depends upon an en-
lightened citizenship, and
Whereas, the most effective means
of spreading information is through
the newspapers, and
Whereas, organized labor has
fought against suppression of the
rights of free speech, a free press
and assemblage and the history of
this state is blackened by the perse-
cution of labor editors and the sup
preston of labor newspapers, and
Whereas, the fullest development
of the rights of labor and of the
producers and Independent groups
of useful citizens can be promoted
by retaining and protecting the con-
stitutional rights Of newspapers and
newspaper editors to print the facts
as they see them, and express their
views and opinions,
And whereas, the labor movement
of Montana is looking forward to
owning its own newspapers and in
sists that the rights of the press be
protected and guaranteed against
that when labor will have its own
| press, and
Whereas, there is pending in the
criminal courts of Montana at this
time a prosecution of the editor of
an independent newspaper, namely
the Montana Review, for publishing
the banking record of one of the cam
didates for office in the recent cleo
| tons, and
Whereas, if a conviction should be
obtained against that editor, the
rights of all editors and of organized
labor would be threatened with a
precedent that would tend to influ-
ence, harass and annoy us in the
publication of our own papers,
Now Therefore Be 1t Resolved,
| that the Yellowstone Trades and La
Dor assembly hereby express its
strong opposition to the prosecution
of all cases and of all newspapers on
grounds of Political Criminal Libel,
and strongly urge those in high posi-
tons of influence to use their power
to suppress and remove from the
courts the pending case against John
w. Nelson, editor of The Montana
Review, as being an unwarranted
and dangerous precedent that men
aces the rights of free speech and

MAKES
POTENT BREW FOR
AMERICAN WORKER
BY HENRY ION
Federated Press

is
mixing for itself a mighty potent
brew. The ferment is already work.
ing and the bosses are taking note.
The next few months, unless all
signs fail, will witness the greatest
organizing drive in the history of
the country and already the corpor-
ate bosses are starting to droop their
tails between their legs.
First in size and Importance is the
drive in the steel industry. Accord
ing to union estimates, over $4,000
of the half million workers have al
ready enrolled though the campaign
is still in its early stages. Employ
ers have countered by raising wages
throughout the industry.
Then there is the drive in the au-
tomobile industry. Walter P. Chrys-
Ter, auto magnate, was not slow in
taking his cue from the U. S. Steel
Corporation and he has announced
the sharing of a 81, 000, 900 bonus
with his $1,000 employees. In addi-
ton, his Dodge plant has put its
name to an agreement with the
United Automobile Workers. Gen
eral Motors was not far behind. It
announces a wage increase of five
cents an hour and a Christmas bonus
of $10,000,000 for its employees.
In the wooden worsted and arti-
fetal silk industry, the United Tex
tile Workers have already won a
striking victory at one of the largest
plants in the country, that of the
Celanese Corp. in Cumberland, Md,
and President T. F. Mcmahon has is
sued a call to all textile workers to
prepare their lines and organize their
forces for future struggles.
AS for the cotton garment indus
try, the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers has appropriated
$500, 900 as a starter in un~ionizing
the as yet unorganized portions of
the industry. In rubber, the United
Rubber Workers are continuing their
fight against stubborn and u%nscrupu-
lous bosses.
AS these forces gather momentum
and power, like a championship foot
ball team sweeping towards its oppo-
nent's goal line, the bosses have
come forward with a new discovery,
the cost-of-living formula. For the
first time within memory, the lords
of work and wages have become
conscious that workers need to buy
food and clothing which may cost
more than their wages will allow.
From the goodness of their hearts
they announce pay boosts to keep
pace with the cost of living, disre-
garding for the first time declara-
tons by the Department of Labor
and the Department of Agriculture
that living costs have gone up "only
a little bit"
The new formula, according to in
dications, is to gear wages to the
cost of living and to establish a
mathematical relationship between
the two that will keep them in the
same relative position. This formula
is being adopted not only by the
steel industry but by many other
industries as we'll.
1t is doubtful that the trick will
succeed.
Workers now are becoming union
conscious. Their unions are becom-
ing economics-conscious In union
headquarters nowadays, there are
economists just as learned, just as
glib, and just as subtle as the econ
omists for the boss.
These economists point out that

OWNERS Threaten TO KEEP Ships TIED

Thos. G. Plant Hurls Defy at Public As 1t Sides With
(By Maritime News Service)


The seventh week of the nation
wide maritime tie-up which held
226 ships on the Pacific Coast and
more than 100 on the Gulf and East
Coasts found the unions striving
harder for settlement, shipowners
more obstinate and the public great
ly aroused.
AS the Pacific Coast unions with
their $4,000 men maintained their
unity of aim, they agreed to accept
the proposed Port Committee to
handle all disputes that might arise
under the agreements. The COM
mittee would consist of union, ship
owner and Department of Labor
representatives.
Plant Under Fire
At the same time shipowners
through their spokesman, Thomas G.
Plant of the American Hawaiian,
voiced their sentiments when he de-
clared they were prepared to keep
their ships tied up for six months
to two years"
His declaration proved the tieup
was really a lockout"
This brought widespread disap-
| proval down upon Plant and an inn
mediate denial from him that he had
ever made the statement. This was
done despite the fact experienced
newspaper men who have been fol-
lowing every angle Of the story since
it's inception heard him make the
declaration.
Meanwhile, the public through as
sociations, the radio and the press,
expressed alarm at the situation.
Many organizations appealed tc
President Roosevelt to intervene
Newspapers %recounted daily the cost
running into millions engendered by
the tie-up.
Although the reports did moi
blame the shipowners directly fol-
the situation, clear analysis of the
conditions made it evident they alone
were responsible.
Many Lose Jobs
Unable to secure raw materials
or ship out their manufactured
products, lumber manufacturing
| mining, commercial and other in
dustrial plants were being tied ur
along the entire Pacific Coast with
resultant loss of employment tC
