PROTEST II
MILITARY DIS
AFFECTION BILL

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council recently laid the ground work
for an organization against war and
fascism. Apparently it IS high time
they did SO, as the following article
by Mr.. Libby would indicate.
The Military Disaffection Bill, des-
cribed in this article, if passed by the
house, may have horrible consequences
for the people of this country. The
suppression Of free speech and the OPP
Grafton Of the iron heel which occurred
under the Espionage Act, couldn't pos
sibly be any worse than the injustices
which may arise from the administra-
ton OF this Military Bill
The unions will do well 20 write their
Congressman c%ontesting it and urging
them to resist its passage. 1t is re-
markable that this measure should have
passed the Senate without considera-
ton or without a record vote.

KILL THIS FASCISTIC
LEGISLATION:

|FlCuCllNh - Llppy
The Military Disaffection Bill
passed the Senate without %considera-
ton or record vote and now on the
calendar Of the House, if enacted in
to law, will deprive the press and the
people OF our country Of their con-
stitutional right to free speech. The
suppression Of liberty is always the
forerunner Of war.
This gill, Tydings-M cCormack Bill,
S. 2253) provides in brief:
whoever advises, counsels, urg-
es, or solicits any member Of the
Army OF Navy of the United States
to disobey the laws or regula-
tons (any order issued by higher
authority governing such forces
r whoever publishes or distributes
any book, pamphlet, paper, print, ar
ticle, letter, or other writing which
advises" etc, Shall be punished by
a fine OF not more than $1,000 or
by Imprisonment for not more than
two years, or both"
A second section Of the bill provides
that any of the writing described in
the first section might be seized from
any place or person under a search
warrant in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the wartime Espionage
Act.
The majority Of the House Military
Affairs Committee, in reporting the
bill, quotes letters from the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, the Secretary Of
War, and others, endorsing the legis-
lation Heartily" as a means of sup
pressing Communist" propaganda in
the Army and Navy. AS a matter of
fact and of legal Interpretation, it
would unquestionably suppress all agi-
tation against the huge Army and
Navy appropriation and criticism of
the Army and Navy leaders and Army
and Navy policies, just as is the case
in Germany and in Italy.
The minority report by Congress-
man Maverick d., Texas and Kvale
(F.-L., Mimi, charging that the bill
is unconstitutional, unnecessary and
Z" a brash piece Of Hitelistic fascism,"
points out that IF a mother wrote her
son, a soldier, and told him that the
Army was no place for him and en-
joined him to get out, she would be
subject to a penitentiary sentence
Any newspaper so much as suggesting
in increase or decrease in the Army
would be subject to its provisions. A
newspaper suggesting that the Navy
did not have the best battleships could
be charged with violation OF the law
in that they were melting sailors to
disaffection Criticism of brutal
ity, m%istreatment, bad food, u~nsanitary
conditions ~ or anything of that char
acter could be met by the most
brutal suppression, searches and seiz-
ures, and penitentiary sentences"
THE second section Of this BILL" the
report states, is a pure case Of I'M
warranted, unconstitutional and bigot-
ed tyranny. 1t provides for every
conceivable violation Of the rights of
search and seizure, for the breaking
into the homes of the American peo-
pie and shows a reckless disregard Of
every American principle of liberty

Espionage Act (Act of June is, 1917,

Recording Secretary

You will note that this resolution pro
vides that products produced in the
state OF California will be boycotted by
union members here until the release Of
Mooney and Billings from prison.
It goes without saying that anytime
the ruling classes are threatened with a
loss Of income they undergo a change
OF mind in certain Of their convictions,
Perhaps if the people OF the United
States refuse to use or eat any more
California goods, they can be made to
see the justice of the release of Billings
and Mooney. The plan has possible
tiles. It presents a tangible way Of
pounding a sense Of fairness in the
minds and hearts OF the calloused rulers
Of California.

After a fast opening further selling

of $4,000 over the previous transfer.

FARM TRUCK
OPERATORS
SURVEYED

A survey among farm truck op-
orators is being conducted by the
agricultural council of California.
Their executive secretary, Ralph
H. Taylor, has requested the local
farm bureau office to give blanks
to local farm truck operators for
the necessary data. Taylor states:
'One of the most important
problems facing the farmer is the
future of truck tax legislation.
Farmers are heavy operators of
motor trucks, and it is certain that
the next legislature viii undertake
some sort of legislation changing
the method of licensing and taking
trucks. It is necessary, therefore,
that we have something tangible
TO work on during the 1887 ses-
sion.
The city agencies are doing
everything in their power TO obtain
specific information to support and
10 protect the interests of their
people. The same must be done
for the farmers.
As the Farm Bureau has no COM
plete list of farm truck operators,
they request that such operators
call at their office, in the court
house, for these blanks. Farmers
will copy onto these blanks in
formation from their applications
for truck re-registration which
they viii file with the Department
of Motor Vehicles prior to January
81.

Blood Insurance
Advocated to Aid
During Childbirth

CHICAGO, Jan. 4. "a process
of blood preservation by which ex-
pectant mothers may store up blood
insurance" against possible ernergen-
cies accompanying childbirth is
nearing perfection in laboratories of
the University of Illinois, it was
learned today.
Under the plan, an expectant
mother would deposit blood in a
blood bank" from two to three
weeks before confinement. Should
the mothers condition require, the
blood might be drawn from the bank
at childbirth.
Experiments were inspired by the
success of Russian physicians in
blood preservation experiments. In
one of these, the blood of a man
dead six hours was injected into the
body of man near death from sui
eide with complete success.
From experiments with dogs, ply
sicians bave learned that blood may
be preserver in special refrigerators
for as long as two or three weeks.
