GOOD FIGHT CARD
SCHEDULED MONDAY

Joe Simonich has again been engaged
as the referee at the Legion boxing
event at the Fox Theatre Monday eve
ming, June 22nd. Joe has become very
popular with the fight fans. He
knows his business and is vary fair.
Following the last match here be-
tween Dennis and Conner, some talk
was heard that Conner suffered on ac-
count OF the altitude and his friends
stated that his apparent weakness to-
ward the end OF the fight was induced
by lack OF being acclimated. DeFoe
was tipped off by Conner, so it is said,
to get into Butte a week ahead of the
fight. He must have taken the advice
as he has been here quite a few days
already.
Henry Armstrong, his colored OPP
ponent is a western lad and has had
quite a bit Of trouble in securing en-
gagements. If these two boys run
true to form using some race track
parlance, Butte fans should witness a
very thrilling contest.
The rest Of the card is also very
attractive. 1t includes two six-round
bouts, one between Jimmie McCusker,
who always gives his audience their
moneys worth, and Jimmie TAFT. The
other one is between Jimmie Best, who
appears to have all the earmarks of a
conner and Willy Walker. To round
off the event there are two f%eur-round
preliminaries.

nest Carroll Moore, vice-president OF
the University OF California at Los
Angeles.
In a forward by these sponsors they
reveal that Carver formulated his plat
form in collaboration with a large
group OF California bankers, utility Of
ticials and business executives.
It is reliably understood that the
pamphlet has been widely circulated as
a confidential document among business
men hostile to the Administration.
In his pamphlet Carver holds that
the chief economic porblem facing the
country is unemployment. This is due
he contends, TO an over-supply Of la
Dor. To remedy this he proposed what
he calls THE alternative to unemploy-
ment relief" viz; Birth control, sterli-
cation, restricted marriage, elimination
OF immigration.
Pending the operation OF these mea-
sures, he proposes in the meantime to
give business its head by curbing or
eliminating Government regulation,
balancing the budget and stopping
'tinkering with our monetary system"
He also advocates cutting taxes, but
would continue public works OF a per-
m%anently useful nature. None OF the
Governments projects, however, would
be OF a kind to compete with private
industry. Publicly owned power plants
would be taboo.

CHAMPION
OUT FOR SUPREME
COURT POSITION

Judge Angstman was born in Min
nesota and obtained his legal aduca-
ton at the St. Paul College of Law.
He came to Helena in 1912, where he
engaged in the private practice of law
until 1921, excepting the period in
which this nation participated in the
World War, during which time he
served in the United States Navy. In
1921 he entered the Attorney Generals
office as First Assistant Attorney
General, where he served for a period
Of eight years. From 1920 to 1885 he
served at Associate Justice of the
Montana Supreme Court. He is now
serving as attorney for the Board OF
Railroad commissioners.
While in the office OF Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court, Judge
Angstman was always classed as a
liberal and a progressive and he made
an enviable record as Judge Of that
Court. During the last two years as
attorney for the Board Of Railroad
Commissioner he has conducted many
cases in the Federal and District
Courts wherein orders made by the
Public Service Commission Of Mon
tana reducing utility rates were at
tackled by the utility companies. He
has met with marked success in those
cases, although opposed by some Of
the best legal talent in the state.
Judge Angstman has made Helena
his home since 1912. He has a family
consisting Of a wife and three chill
dren.

Five Former Tampa
Cops Convicted of
Florida kidnapping
Continued from Page y


The penalty is from a minimum OF
a year and a day to a maximum OF
ten years in the p~enitentiary. Judge
Dewell deferred sentence for four days
during which the defense may move
for a new trial.
However, Pat Whitaker chief defen-
Sc counsel indicated that he might
turn over one of the kidnapers to the
sheriff and then ask the Supreme
Court for a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that the verdict was not
warranted by the evidence and the
law.
Whitaker, it is understood, feels
hat This would automatically clear
the other kidnappers. All Of them are
still free on $500 bail each and can
be seen any night staggering around
the bars and slot machine joints in
Tampa.
If this manoeuvre fails, Whitaker will
undoubtedly appeal to the Supreme
Court ii the regular way. Although
the convictions in this case are regard
ed as an irresparable blow to his pres
tige, Whitaker is still supposed to have
uncanny influence with the higher
court.
Twice during the course OF the pre-
sent proceedings Whitaker got what
he wanted from the Supreme Court.
When the kidnapers were first arrest
ed, he obtained an order directing the
immediate setting OF bail. During the
trial, he was granted a writ ordering
the grand jury testimony OF Poulnot
and Rogers turned over to him.
The five convicted kidnapers are:
c. A. "Smitty" Brown, Jr, former
police sergeant in charge OF the traf-
fic squad, champion pistol shot; lead
er of the %warrantless raid on the Mod
ern Democrats and master of eere-
monies" at the kidnapping in front Of
police station.
c. w, Carlisle, former special Of
ficer, political henchman of Whitaker,
referred to by the prosecution as "the
strong-arm man of the tax collectors
Office" led Poulnot to the kidnap car
and helped throw him in.
John P. Bridges, former traffic cop
former pugilist, former body-guard
for Huey Long; grabbed Poulnot as
he was forced into the car, stifled his
cries for help and threw him on the
floor.
F. w. Switzer, former traffic cop
under indictment for having a part in
the mutilation OF a St, Petersburg at
torney; driver of the kidnap car.
Sam E. Crosby, former traffic cop
former pugilist, hanger-on in gambling
houses; sat next to Switzer.
Former Chief Of Police R. G. Tits
worth and Robert Chappel1, former
special officer and employee of the city
water department, had been freed a
week before by directed verdict Of the
court. Ellsworth had been on trial
as accessory after the fact and Chap
pell as a principal.
The immediate unanimity Of the jury
leaves little doubt that they would have
convicted Ellsworth and Chappell too
had they been given the chance. All
the jurors were working men. In adj
dition to Walker, they were:
Earl Turner, Is, drag line operator;
J. R. Duggan, o., retired locomotive
engineer; Sam T. Williams, 50, stove
repairman Victor c. Hail, 81, welder;
and w. M. L,ohr, So, mechanic.

Fears a Revolution

Carver lays great stress on his fear
OF a Communist revolution.
The trouble has always been that
economic planners have wanted to con-
troll the symptoms rather than the
causes of the disease that afflicts the
the body polite" Carver writes. in
all this weller Of discussion of econ
omic planning, scarcely a word has
been uttered on the important subject
OF population planning.
yet the population problem is fun
damental, and the most dangerous form
OF laissez faire is that which leaves the
quantity and quality OF our population
to blind forces which are cruder and
more dangerous than so-called blind
economic forces.
so long as people who lack intel
ligence continue to spawn others who
lack intelligence we shall have more
Of such people than we can possibly
employ at good wages"
Carver voices a low opinion Of the
present reproductive process, which, he
says, are initiated by the emotions, the
passions and the ignorance of men,"
He explains that in the past strong
races have taken care Of their pop
%ulation by imperialistic territorial ex-
pansion.
Strong races have, in the past he
declares, Solved the problem of main
tanning a favorable mainland ratio by
taking more land when they needed
it. They at least had %far-reaching
plans for the solution OF the funda-
mental problem of the mainland ratio.
In this respect they were, on the
intellectual, if not on the moral, side
far ahead OF any Of our present-day
economic planners outside Of Italy.
Germany and Japan"
While insisting that he abhors any
governmental scheme which interiors
with the freedom OF the individual,
Carver intimates that Mussolini and
Hitler may not be as bad as painted.
After all, he says, are they not the
foes OF Communism?
.
That Russians Here Againl
He predicts that hungry hordes
from Russia, gazing generously across
their borders at countries blessed with
c~apitalistic plenty, will some day in
wade Europe"
Europe will once more stand with
her back to the Atlantic, fighting for
its existence against the hordes from
the East" he says. Possibly Mus
solini and Hitler are more far-seeing
than the rest of us and are prepared
to stand together at another field Of
Chalons as the ancestors of their peo-
pie did in A. D. 451, who knows?"
Carver expands on his e%ncomiums
to Hitler by ~contending that the Nazi
Fuehrer did the rational thing of seq
regating and sterlizing ~congenial de-
fectives.
The United States could solve its
unemployment problem, Carver says,
by also engaging in a policy Of i'm
perialistic territorial expansion. He
admits, sadly, however, hat Americans
as a whole seem especially untitled,
both by geographical position and tenn
permanent, for a career of expansion
by conquest and colonization"

U. M. W. A. SAYS mo"
TOA.F.OFL, REQUEST

a N6&
cisions OF the convention of the A. F.
Of l.. are Supreme in their authority"
that the decisions call for the most
strict and loyal adherence" and that
mo organization commanding respect
or worthy Of existence can tolerate a
dual movement within its field of jur-
isdiction." It then charges the c. I. O.
with being a dual organization.
Its activities justify such a conclu-
sion," the letter declared. 1T advo-
Gates the pursuit of organizing poll
cies in opposition to those formulated
and adopted at conventions of the A.
F. Of L. 1t advises organizations and
members affiliated with the A. F. Of
L. to disregard decisions and instruc-
tions OF conventions of the A. F. of
L."
For this and other valid reasons we
call upon the c. I. o. to dissolve i'm
mediately and TO recognize the conven-
ton of the A. F. of L. as the sole au-
thority within the A. F. Of L. to for
mulate and originate organization and
administrative policies and to act on
all fundamental policies OF the A. F.,
Of L. We are confident that such ac-
ton is necessary if the unity Of the
labor movement is to be preserved and
the solidarity and prestige Of the A.
F. of L. maintained"
I'VE ask that you advise us Of your
decision upon the requests and recon-
mendations herein transmitted within
a period Of two weeks"
Answer has already been made by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and the United Mine Workers. AT a
convention in Cleveland 500 delegates
shouted their approval of a resolution
authorizing Continuance of active and
generous support" of the Amalgamat-
ed Clothing Workers to the c. |. 0.
The United Mine Workers answer
was formulated at a regular meeting
of its executive board here. The In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
executive board is expected to make
an answer soon as will a convention Of
the Oil Field, Gas Well, and Refinery
Workers which meets shortly. 1t is
believed that all mine unions affiliated
with the c. l. 0. will refuse to accede
to the dissolution order of the execu-
tive committee.
The U. M. w. A. executive board
also sent a cablegram to President
Miguel Gomez Of Cuba congratulating
him on his promises of civil liberty for
the workers together with the right
t. organize and bargain collectively.
These things are, at present, denied to
Cuban workers. The board also issued
a strong statement in support OF strik-
ing sharecroppers and agricultural la
borers now going on in Arkansas.

Finds Menace in Masses

He warns, however, that property
less masses" may have no moral scru-
pies" against such adventures.
THE landless and propertyless mass
es Of Europe and America may find il
easier to take land from their richer
fellow citizens than to take land from
weak races in distant parts of the
earth" Carver says, adding that this
is a suggestion which property owners
would do well to ponder"
The brain truster does not spare the
goose flesh Of his businessmen spon-
sors in any portion of his pamphlet
Speaking of the possibilities Of violent
revolution he says:
THE law of proletarian revolution
is starting in its arithmetical simplicity.
Where manual workers become over
whelmingly numerous they will have
both the motive for revolution and the
power to carry it through to success
Carver ends his booklet with a call
to action. He pleads with the Sub
stantial people" to organize and defend
their rights.
He suggests that it might be pos
sible to persuade the perplexed mass
es that they have more to hope for I'M
der our system than under any other"

LORD
DUNSANY

vt may seem to some of my readers that
the principal occupation of the Billiards
Club is to listen to tales by Jorkens.
- This is by no means the view taken by
the club In fact the other day we were all
discussing singing, for no other reason than
that we knew Jorkens to be uninterested in
it and thereby unlikely to join in with tale;
for, much as we sometimes appreciate Jork-
ems contrast of Africa to our somewhat dark
street, we have an occasional liking for the
sound of our own voices.
We were talking then about singing Jork-
ems broke in with the words: Il never cared
about singing. 1t never meant anything to
me-
You speak, said Terbut, las though your
lamentable deficiency were something to be
proud Of"
Its meant good deal to me-" said
Jorkens. 1T once saved my life"
Saved your life?" muttered Terbut.
IN tell YOU" said Jorkens, lust what
happened There was young fellow knew
called Bob Hosden, who had never travelled
and was rather liable to get in love. which
of course leads to trouble in the long run; and
into his life in London came woman who
had travelled long way, all the way from
Greece, and was really beautiful; nobody
seemed to know anything about her, and in
stead of that warning him it attracted him
ali the more. If he had ever travelled, he
might have wanted to know what part of the
country she came from; but, as it was, sup
pose he pictured her home as little island
in ceruleum sea, with small ships sailing by.
and somewhere Homer singing. Which made
it all worse. though she was romantic enough
with her dark hair and her fine features, clear
as lines cut in marble, to have caught a
young fellow like him without any other
accessories.
"She was widow and nobody knew how
many husbands she had had; once she men
toned two. Nobody knew her age, or indeed
anything of her whatever. She took nice
fiat in knightsbridge overlooking Hyde Park.
Even her finances were queer she had them
in small bags of sailcloth - unstrung. un-
pierced pearls and few nuggets of gold.
Somebody took the nuggets to bank. and
sold a few of the pearls for her otherwise she
would have paid her bills with the nuggets
and pearls direct.
Bob Hosden introduced me to her at
sherry party, and asked me what | thought
of her. OF course said she was very nice: it
