has continued his fight on behalf of
President Roosevelt since his return
to the state.
In speeches throughout Montana,
O'Connell has lauded President
Roosevelt and his program and spok-
en- brilliantly in behalf of the Presi-
dents Supreme Court proposal,
which during the past ten days has
come to life as a vital factor in
Americas political and economic his
tory.
O'Connell also has decried the re-
cent attacks on Justice Hugo l..
Black and in a sharply worded state
ment a few days ago said, ut is APP
parent that the present attack on
Justice Black comes from the same
Liberty League sources from which
also came the fight on President
Roosevelt's Court proposal, with the
same reactionary tories and stooges
fighting the President of the United
States and the people of the United
States"

they will all meet the same fate at
the hands of the electorate as did

tice Black is a great progressive who
will give a liberal and enlightened
view of the Constitution for the
majority of the people and that is
why these Liberty League pseudo

LABOR FEDERATION
OF WEST VIRGINIA

WASHINGTON (UNS)-A c. l. 0.
charter has been issued to the West
Virginia Federation of Labor at the
request of President John B. Easton,
acting under the authority granted
him by unanimous decision of the
F~ederation's executive council, John
Brophy, c. 1. o. director, has
nounced.
The state body, representing 170,-
900 organized workers, will be char
tered under the name of the West
Virginia Industrial Union Council.
The c. 1. o. has already chartered
industrial union councils in Wis
consin and Montana, and has char
tered a joint industrial union coun-
Gil for Arkansas and Oklahoma. In
addition, industrial union councils
have been set up in more than so
cities and counties, where action has
been taken by the A. F. Of L. to
expel c. /. 0. affiliates.
In a statement issued on the mat
ter of affiliation, President Easton
said; What we in West Virginia
want to know is how Mr.. Green can
reconcile his oft-repeated talk about
democratic rule and against forcing
the will of a minority on a majority
with his action in this instance.
1.-THE West Virginia Federation of
Labor, not merely by a majority, but
by the action of the entire group of
661 delegates unanimously rejected
Green's order to expel c. l, 0. I'M
ions. AS we in West Virginia see
the picture, the A. F. of L, executive
council is seeking to make fedra-
tons of labor and central bodies its
catspaw to enforce minority rule"

Labor Day Address Of
Sen. James {. Murray
Continued From Last Week


On the eve of the Inauguration
of President Roosevelt the country
was threatened with a collapse of
its banking system. Banks in sew
eral states of the nation had closed
their doors and the country found
itself in the midst of a financial
crisis. Immediately upon the in
auguration of President Roosevelt he
called the leading representative
bankers of the nation into confer
ence, directed the closing Of all
banks and proceeded to enact mea-
sures to forestall the bankruptcy
threatening the financial institutions
of the country. By his firmness and
decision he restored the confidence
of the banking, business and indus
trial interests, some of whom had
already begun to flee the country
with their gold. Monetary legisla-
ton was Immediately passed reliev-
ing the country from the crooked
gold standard which was rapidly
bringing it to ruin. By his none
tary legislation he blocked the cold
blooded and ruthless deflation
which was bankrupting millions of
our citizens.
The Roosevelt Administration then
proceeded with its program for re-
covery and reform. A system of
Federal relief was established to e
lieve the starving millions Of the
country and a public works program
was instituted to put men to work
and assist in bringing back the pur-
chasing power of the people. Al
most overnight the people began to
feel relief from the collapse and
ruin which threatened the nation,
but the Roosevelt Administration did
not stop there.
Reforms had been promised the
people. The Nation had been looted
of billions of dollars by the crooked
f%inanciers of Wall Street, so the Sc
curity Exchange Committee was
created for the purpose of prevent
ing further exploitation of the peo-
pie. This was followed by many
other reforms in the interest and
welfare of the farmers and workers
of the Nation. The Wagner Labor
Relations Act gave Labor the right
to organize and bargain collectively
without interference. The rights of
Labor was also sought to be pro-
tected in many other directions, for
example a Federal law was passed
in the Senate prohibiting transporta-
ton of strike breakers and munitions
intended to fight strikers.
In the midst of all this wise legis-
lation of the Roosevelt Administra-
ton, prosperity was rapidly being
restored. Big business was again on
its feet and soon began to object to
the reforms being inaugurated. They
demanded the discontinuance of the
New Deal Reform Program. They
organized the Liberty League for
the purpose of ousting Roosevelt and
recovering control of the Govern
ment.
The New Deal issue was again
fought out in 1886 elections, and it
won by an overwhelming majority.
Notwithstanding all this, a desper-
ate effort is on foot today to dis
credit Roosevelt and bring the New
Deal to an end. Never before in
the history of the Nation have the
people been faced with such a des-
perate effort to overcome their will.
Millions of dollars are being spent
for the purpose of distorting and
disappearing the President and
his record in Washington.
In this great struggle l am sure

REMARKS OF WILLIAM F. dunno TO SILVER
BOW TRADES ASSEMBLY ON KEENEY CASE

Brother Chairman, Professor Kee-
ney and delegates to the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Assembly:
The discharge of Professor Kee-
ney, clearly for his activity in or
ganizing a local union of the Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers on the
campus of the University of Mon
tana, and for his frank views on
academic freedom and progressive
education, is one of those issues that
clarity greatly a long existing and
increasingly ~intolerable situation in
the states chief educational institu-
ton.
As far as the legality of Professor
Keeney's standing is concerned, in
the opinion of Attorney General
Freebourn's office and in the opinion
of other competent legal talent in
the state, Governor Ayers, Presi-
dent Simmons of the U. of M. and
the State Board of Education have
not a leg to stand on. Although
Attorney General Freebourn is nom
inally a defendant in the mandamus
proceeding in Professor Keeney's be-
half, to be heard tomorrow in Hell
ena, the brief he is submitting to
Judge Padbury is a defense of Pro-
fessor Keeney.
One section of that brief, dealing
with the question of tenure of office
by professors and instructors under
the jurisdiction of the State Board
of Education, quotes the regulations
of that board which are a part of the
state statutes adopted in 1922, and
says:
%. Professors and associate pro-
f~essors IRE on permanent appoint
ment; provided, however, that the
initial appointment to a full profess
sorship or to an associate professor
ship may be for a limited term. Such
limited term appointment may be
renewed; provided, however, that
the reappointment after three years
of service shall be deemed a perma-
nent appointment"
Professor Keeney was arbitrarily
discharged, without a hearing, not
after three years of service-in the
course of which he received a raise
in salary-but after four years of
service.
Governor Ayers and the State
Board of Education, their protege
President Simmons, have violated
their regulations which have the
force of law in this state.
Over a long period of years there
has been a series of arbitrary dis
charges, removals and prosecutions
at the University. Everyone in this
state knows or should know that the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
dominates the University just as it
does other state educational institu-
tons. Professor Craighead was the
first to go; then there was the dis
charge of Professor Levine, Fisher
and others. All these highly quail
fled university people of the teaching
profession were removed mainly be-
cause they differed openly with the
A. c. NJ. on the question of mining
taxation.
It may be useful to remark in
passing that this year the dormitory
and board fees for students have
been raised about $3.50 per month.
This seems like a small sum but it
is large to those students who are
working their way and others come
from poor families and those Of
