LAKE ARROWHEAD, Cal, Oct
26. W.P)-While a studio scout hunt
ed across the land for place tt
shoot an Ohio river picture-tht
Ohio itself wouldn't do!-MGM
discovered an elegant if synthetic
Ohio river today, virtually in its
own back yard.
The only trouble with this pri-
vate river is that it isn't; it's a
narrow finger of Lake Arrowhead
high in the San Bernardino noun
tains, 100 miles west of Hollywood
There is an fashioned river
steamboat built on pilings at the
dock, a speedboat whizzes around,
out of the cameras range. to make
the kind of ripples that the Ohio
has, and the general effect is a
better than exact duplicate OF the
real thing.
The picture, entitled Benefits
Forgot" and starring Walter Hus-
ton. Beulah Bondi, Jimmy Stewart
and Guy Kibbee, is a drama of
Civil War days, based upon the
love of a mother for her son. There
is no other love interest in it and
hence it Is unique. according to
Bradbury Foote, who wrote, it.
Wearing a fuzzy looking blue cap
such as baseball umpires sport, and
no necktie, Foote doesn't look like
an author. He thinks his story is
getting superb production. but he
can't help laughing about that
Ohio river business.
"They sent the scout back east to
find an Ohio river and he couldn't
locate one anywheres," Foote said
"He travelled 1000 miles through
Tennessee and Alabama and Ar
kansas and no telling where else.
but he couldn't spot single place
that would do He finally got cal
led back with a telegram saying
we had discovered a Ohio here at
home, and I surely would liked to
have seen his face"
We couldn't help suggesting that
maybe the Ohio river would have
been pretty good place to depict
the Ohio river, but Foote said it
wasn't as simple as that. The trou-
BILE was that his script called for
midsummer scene at river port
and he didn't finish the story until
autumn.

DRISCOLL
MISSOULA VISIT

Jack Driscoll, vice president of
the State Federation of Labor, made
a lengthy report to the unions about
the controversy with President Sim
mons of the University and the
State Board of Education over the
discharge of Professor Phillip Kee-
ney. MI. Driscoll referred to the
visit he had made to the Missoula
Trades and Labor Council and also
to Wallace Brennan, a member of
the State Board of Education from
Missoula, Mr.. Phillip Keeney and
also President Simmons.
The Board of Education took a
very high handed stand in refusing
to listen to the arguments of the
representatives of labor before that
Board at the time Professor Keeney
was dismissed.
A report was made about the stu
dent body of the University of
Montana sending out of the state of
Montana to an unfair printing shop,
the publication of their annual year
book. During the talk on this sub
ject it was brought out that Attor-
Montana labor news., 1937-04-29

ney General Freebourn had sent a
telegram to the student body eau
tioning them not to have the book
published out of the state of Mon
tana and that in the event they did,
that he would oppose the state buy
ing any of these books. 1t was
further mentioned that ordinarily
the state buys approximately 300 of
the annual year books of the univer-
sity at a cost of soc apiece. 1t was
further mentioned that the state Of
ficers of course could not control
the spending of the money needed
for the publication of the book if
it were not state money but they
certainly could object to the state
buying any of these unfair books.
Attorney General Freebourn, dur
ing the time he was County Attor-
ney of Silver Bow County, was con-
sistently loyal to labor organiza-
tons. In the matter of Professor
Keeney it was he and Ruth Rear
don who championed the cause of
the labor representatives. His atti-
tude in respect to the publication of
this journal is another instance of
his thorough understanding to the
labor unions.

Many Achievements Since the
Hay Market Massacre.

The workers of America and the
world, workers in the factories,
mills, fields and offices stand proud
of their triumphs on this May Day
of 1887. On the basis of bigger
and finer organization and unity
than ever before; workers are TAX
ing into their hands some of the
world of their making.
Any writer stands small in tack
ling the job of stating even part
of what has happened in the past
year.
Organized labor has taken in it's
stride: Geographically; Spain,
France, China, and other lands; also
America and her formerly impreg-
nable steel trust.
Politically: Compelling attention
and action on the problem of unem-
ployment, laws on maximum hours
and minimum wages for men and
women, laws on child labor and the
Supreme Court. At last the great
God Mars is being brought to his
knees. The ones who take the shock
of war n beginning to make de-
cisions on the vital questions Of war,
peace, and fascism.
Economically: Sit downers are
claiming their right to their eternal
property, that is, their job and more
of the goods they make.
Organizationally: A new giant,
the C. l. o. is enrolling thousands,
making the Steel Trust surrender to
the steel workers their demands for
a happier existence for themselves
and families.
It was fifty-one years ago Labor
in America put up one of its hardest
fights when it demanded politically
and in industry the eight-hour day
and the right to organize.
That was on May Day, 1886. To-
day, those who put up that battle
need to be remembered, the Hay
Market martyrs and those workers
and leaders who had the mind and
courage to see the things that we
r now beginning to achieve. Now
old problems yield to new ones.
Attend the meeting at the Butte
High School Auditorium May LIST, at
8 o'clock in the evening.
