Debtor Writes
Bill Collector To
Do Darndest

Dunn-Lester Draughon, debtor
and philosopher, has addressed the
following letter to a collecting
agency of Omaha, Nebraska:
Gentlemen:
II have received your letter tell
ing me you would cause me a lot
of trouble if l did not Immediate
ly and at once pay up the bills ]
owed, and in this connection
wish to say that it afforded the
boys around town and at the P. O.
a lot of amusement to find that
you didn't have any better sense
than to dun a gentleman in an op-
en- letter with a one-cent stamp
on it.
"You say you are gonna cause
me lots of trouble if l don't pay
up. Well, all I gotta say is,if you
can cause me any more trouble
than I have had for the past year
OF SO, why go ahead and wade in
up to your eyebrows.
"Just to give you a bird's-eye
view of my candid but sincere
method of doing business along
with some of my misfortunes, last
summer I let some lightning rod
agents persuade me into putting
lightning rods on my house. They
did and the next day when a thun-
der storm came up it missed my
house but lightning demolished my
barn and killed four shoats.
Right after that I rented my
Ford to a preacher who was hold

was $1.7O and the preacher coming
back home turned the Ford over in
a ditch wrecking it out and out.

me neither-the Ford is still in the
Shortly after this, I went fish
ing in the Cape Fear river and
lost a $50 gold watch in 20 feet of
water. This was a heavy loss be-
cause I had already made a down
payment of $2.25 on the watch
and now, although it's lost, I'll
have to, in time to come, pay the

"Early last fall I took down

as a result lost all my teeth. I
bought a full set of false ones for

some IS or 20 times by mail and in

tment papers and took the teeth
back. Now Pm so weak I can't
eat anything but soup and drink
coffee.

how I stand, and, in conclusion, I
want to repeat, if you can cause
me any more trouble than I have
had and am still having, just dab

"Of course, those gentlemen who
have exercised their lungs regard
ing the trade agreements will say
that the-maximum quota of 1,5OO,-
900 ballons of cream on which the
duty Of 56.6 cents per gallon was
reduced to 50 cents will have a
detrimental effect on the butter
market.
"This amount is equivalent to
about 125 billion pounds of milk
or about one-tenth of one per cent
Of the total annual milk production
in the United States; it is only
eight-tenths of one per cent of the
production in the North Atlantic
States which receive most of the
inconsequential imports coming in
to the United States.
"Actual imports from Canada in
1929 was almost twice as great
as this quota permitted from all
countries. This rate of s. cents
per gallon is still IS cents greater
than the rate on cream in the
Fordney-Mc Cumber act. This, l
submit is far from free trade.
Notwithstanding all the wall
ings which we have heard regarding
agricultural imports, the prices
steadily increased since 1882, when
the voters retired the Republican
party from power. 1t is futile for
Republicans to attempt to show
that the present administration has
not been, and will not continue to
be, a friend of the farmer. The in
crease in the cash income of farmers

Montana labor news., 1936-10-29

surdities is his ridiculous statement
that NRA put labor in chains The
operation of the MIRA codes directly
resulted in the unemployment of
5000, 900 men and women who had
been standing in the bread lines of
Mr.. Hoover's regime. Everybody re-
members that this was the very
crux of NRA achievement, the high
spot Of the whole program. 1t placed
these 100000 distressed people into
gainful occupation within a year
after the act was signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on June 16, 1888.
Col. Knocks statement therefore,
that MIRA put labor in chains is not
merely untrue-it is the stupidest
of all his stupidities. 1t is stupid
even as a piece of political propa-
ganda, because it is so m~anifestly
untrue that it VII be Immediately
spotted by any intelligent worker
as a downright lie. Even the strate-
gists at G. o. P. headquarters must
have WINGED when they read this
latest Knox blurb. Such campaign
ing defeats itself and I predict that
this single statement will throw adj
ditional thousands Of votes to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
THE nations Knoxes are crying
out in pain because labor at last
gained basic rights long denied to
it by the sheer might of unbridled
economic power modified in enor-
nous corporate units, like steel and
oil and munitions.
1T wasn't any special favor that
labor gained. It was merely and
solely a legal recognition and guar
antee of fundamental rights, long,
long overdue. Labor in America
stands for democratic control of
government. 1t opposes every kind
of dictatorship. 1t opposes control
of the destinies Of our people by
great specially privileged corporate
groups. And because of that, Labor
is for Roosevelt.
Col, Knox has the facts wrong
and he is even farther from actual
ity in his Interpretation. His under
taking to advise labor to avoid po-
litical commitments is sheer af-
frontery. Labor is united politically
as it never has been before, with its
full strength behind President
Roosevelt, regarding the reelection
of the president as absolutely essen
tial to the maintenance of freedom
and a decent recognition of human
rights"

MOSS AGATES and
THEIR ORIGIN

(Special) - Montana's moss agates
are found principally in the Billings
| Sidney region of the Yellowstone
river, DR.. j. W. Howard, Montana
State university geologist-chemist,
says in the most recent of his articles
on Montana's precious stones. DIR.
Towards article appears in the lat
est number of the magazine Nat
ure."
Previously DR.. Howard has descr-
ibed the sapphire deposits of Mon
tana.
The university professor admits
that "the method used by nature to
produce the moss agate is a matter
for conjecture" He points out that
chemical analysis has made il clear
that the "fanciful figures, moss,
trees, bits of vegetation are not en-
trapped pieces of animal or vege-
table life.
DR.. Howard says that the agates
might have been formed when vol
canic rock, filled with silica jelly,
began to dry. and odd cracks re-
suited which were then filled by
compounds of iron (to produce the
red), copper (green) and nickel
(blue) and oxide of Manganese
(black.)
another theory has gained CON
siderable credence because an effect
similar to that found in the moss
agate can be produced by the chem
ist in his laboratory" DR.. Howard
says. IF a crystal of a colored salt
is dropped into a dilute solution of
water glass, it dissolves in the water
and then reacts with the water
glass forming a little sack. In a
short time this sack swells and bur-
SITS, expanding upward into a tree
like growth. Several such figures
give the whole the appearance of a
submarine garden. Perhaps a sim
liar process took place in the first
stages of moss agate formation"
Chief states that have been fav-
ored with deposits of the stone are
Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
Texas and Oregon.
DR.. Howard writes that the 'ag-
ate cutters of the Billings-Sidney re-
gion often combine business with
pleasure by making a boat trip down
this river, searching the banks and
gravel bars for specimens. The out
going ice and following spring floods
aid periodically in bringing a new
crop to the surface"

E~IIenbogen Makes plea
For Roosevelt AT u. 7.
W A. Convention
By Federated Press

NEW YORK.-(FP)As the con-
vention of the United Textile Work
ers of America assembled, prepared
to consider its suspension from the
American Federation of Labor for
utilization to the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, it got under
way by hearing an appeal by Cong,
Henry Ellenbogen of Pennsylvania
to support the reelection of Pres.
Roosevelt.
Ellenbogen was author of a bill
in the last Congress to regulate con-
ditions in the textile industry.
"The usual sham battle between
the Republican and Democratic
parties, both dominated by special
interest, has disappeared from the
scene," the representative told the
textile labor delegates. To-day we
have an entirely different picture.
The battle is no longer sham, be-
cause the opposing elements, the
two major parties, represent differ
ent viewpoints and different pro-
grams.
"In our day, and under the lead
ership of Franklin d. Roosevelt, the
Democratic party represents the
hope and aspirations of the masses
of the people. While some reaction
aries may yet be found within its
ranks, the philosophy of the Demo-
cratic party, its leadership and pro-
gram, are surely identified with
progress and liberalism. The Re-
publican party, on the other hand,
is more definitely and distinctly the
party of the big business and spe-
cial privilege, controlled by the fl
nancial overlords-the MELONS, the
Grundys, the Mills of economic
America"
A Republican victory, Ellenbogen
warned, would meal that the pendu-
lum would Swing violently in the
opposite direction and labor may
lose not only its present gains but
every progressive gain it has made
for so years. You cannot have
security, decent wages and decent
working conditions unless Franklin
D. Roosevelt stays in the White
/ House"
Ellenbogen referred to the bill he
sponsored in the last Congress and
said it would be reintroduced and
pushed at the next session. Only by
elevating the standard of living OF
southern textile workers can the
jobs and working conditions OF
northern textile workers be safe
guarded, he said. Only the Demo
cratic party will support uniform
national legislation to this end, he
insisted.
Late in the first days session,
Pres. Thomas M. Mcmahon spoke
strongly in favor of the c. I. O..
declaring that whether or not we
are at the Tampa convention of the
A. F. of L. will depend to a great
degree on whether the executive
council lifts the present suspension
when it meets in October" The
council has assumed a position
(which l believe will be untenable
when the convention is brought face
to face with the facts of the issue
he adde.
The convention also heard State
Industrial Commissioner Elmer F
Andrews of New York speak on the
states labor legislation and declare
Never were prospects brighter fol
wide and permanent improvement
of the conditions of labor through
out the United States"

TRY TO
FOOL LABOR

By his suggestion that government
play the role Of counsellor, ad-
wiser and mediator" Col. Frank
Knox proposes to throw government
labor policy back to the days of
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover" said
a statement issued today by Labor's
Nom Partisan League, through the
office of its President, Maj. George
L. Berry.
Col. Knox is no more enlightened
about the needs Of labor than Gov.
Landon," said the statement. Col.
Knox asks what happened to Italian
labor when it helped to establish a
governmental dictatorship appar-
emily seeking to imply that by sup
porting President Roosevelt, labor
in the United States is helping to
establish a dictatorship. That is
downright deception and nothing
else. By supporting President
Roosevelt, labor is fighting every
influence in Amerca that leans to-
ward dictatorship. If labor favored
dictatorship it would certainly be
supporting Gov. Landon and Col.
Knox, because all Of the would-be
dictators and pro-dictator forces in
America are in their camp. Specifi-
cally these include the Liberty
League and its duPonts, MELONS
and steel kings. Specifically, too, it
includes those who have been the
customers of the munitions makers
and merchandisers whose records
are about to be laid bare by the
LaFollette committee investigating
infringement Of civil liberties.
Col. Knox says that until our
time labor has fought its own
battles, fearing government en-
croachment and has stayed clear of
partisan political activities Well,
labor is fighting its own battles to-
day and that is why labor is sup
porting Roosevelt and opposing Ian
don. There is no greater threat to
labor's liberties on the horizon to-
day than Landon.
1--WE do not look to Col. Knox to
tell us what to do or whom to sup
port. Labor knows the record and
knows it precisely. Labor knows
that Gov. Landon's labor record is
one of hostility and complete lack
of understanding, as we have shown
in detail in our analysis of that
record, no part of which has been
successfully contradicted. And it is
Landon who heads the ticket, not
Knox. We have called Gov. Landon
a strike breaker and there is no de-
NAL of that fact. His soldiers went
into the lead and zinc mine strike
and under their protection a COM
pany union was formed by the
company. AS an oil operator Gov.
Landon has paid the lowest rate of
wages and he has not employed
union men.
Nor do we forget the operations
of the school book trust in Kansas
and the shameful condition of the
schools, where salaries average a
few cents over 500 a month and run
as low as $25.
"Col. Knox condemns MIRA and
he seems to think that had it con-
tinued it would have menaced labor.
Col. Knox perhaps recalls and doesn't
like the fact that MIRA took child
labor out of the American indus
rial picture. MIRA raised the mini
mum wage level. 1t compelled OBJ
servance of the right to organize into
unions, free from employer coercion
, or influence and that is the bitterest
pill of all to the Knox type of mind
and to the Liberty League support
ers of Landon and Knox.
"E'ut perhaps the most amazing
part of Col. Knox's most recent alb
