overproductiOn Of attorneys.
P. C. Peterson of Sheridan coun-
ty introduced a bill in the House
this year, as the old statute ex-
pired Jan. LIST. His bill Glib. S9)
was passed, exempting the Fede-
raj Land Banks, First National
Banks, Production Credit Corpora
ton, and any fundamentally of
the government from the provisions
of the moratorium. So it became
a moratorium in name only and
worthless as the paper on which
it was written.
The Federal Land Bank and the
Home Owners Loan Assn are the
two worst enemies Of the people
who toll. The Frazir-Lemke Ma
tional Bankruptcy Act did not ex-
empt either Of them any more
than any other Of the exploiters.
In fact the only time the Federal
Land Bank will make a loan Ia
when they can whittle a five
thousand dollar loan down to 3d.
500 and let the first loan company
take the loss.
The Federal Land Bank Is al
ways In favor of cancelling the
other fellows loan; then they can
get a first mortgage and foreclose
the farmer out at a profit as they
have so often done especially in
Beaverhead county.
We have eleven thousand sicners
in this state who want a morator-
ium, wire your senators and re-
representatives. at once. How your
senators and representatives vote
on this measure will determine
how they are rated by the HOli-
day members Of Montana.

WHAT WILL MONTANA DOT
CONTINUED from page II

Fearing the passage OF q
similar bill in Montana the Fed
eral Land Bank, the insurance
companies and every corporate
power in and outside Of the
state have mustered all of their
forces to prevent legal relief to
the embattled farmers of the
state.
The Holiday Association in
conjunction with several labor
organizations, is putting up .
valiant fight in behalf Of those
who remain at home" to send
Representatives" to n elena
every two years to betray them
mostly.
AS we 60 to press we have
learned that our so-ealled "pro-
gressiVes" of the Farmers I'm
ion in the house and senate are
cOnniving secretly with the
iackals Of big business In AN eff
fort to further crush the needy
felix's "b&ck home" Word comes
that Herbert Rolph, Speaker Of
the House and President Of the
Farmers Union in Montana, has
done everything in his power to
curry favor from the monled
powers at the expense Of those
whose interests he Is duty bound
to advance. Information will be
gathered as to how he and every
such treacherous seOundrel acte&
and voted against the will Of
their constituents and the Pro-
ducers News will not be found
lazy in its scathing exposure.
It has also been brought to
our atteRtiOn that In many Of the
Farmers Union Oil Stations
throughout the state the small
fry operators have obeyed
ROlph and have done everything
in their power to destroy the
efforts Of those who attempted
to battle for the relief Of the
distressed farmers and workers.
If such information be true
no stone will be left nnturned
to prove that such cooperative
institutions" are nothing more
than pliable tools in the hands
of bankers, railroad corpora
tons, insurance companies, and
grating politicians.

Holiday Assn Of Montana
Pushes Moratorium Bill
CONTINUED from page II

With all Of this in view, the
farmers and small homeoWners IN
Montana are asking for a legal
moratorium for two years. If we
fail in getting this moratorium
thru the legislature of Montana,
we will be compelled to do as the
large insurance companies Of the
nation did. We will call a meet
ing and declare a moratorium for
ourselves, and anyone outside of
corporation lawyers and bankers
will be for It strong. Everyone in
the cooperative movement will be
for It, for how can you cooperate
when you have nothing to cooper
ate with? It will not do the aver
'age farmer a great deal Of good
when he Is forced off his land to
know that the Coop Oil Co. has
been a rousing success. Remember
this is not a cancellation, it is
real moratorium for two years.
When the banks were going
broke by the hundreds a few years
ago, thy did not try to pass a mo-
ratorium law, they simply de-
clared one and That was that. A
friend Of mine made a deposit in
the forenoon, and attempted to
cash a check after dinner on the
same bank. There was a sign in
the window CLOSED for the bene-
fit Of the depositors." He couldn't
get his money out. The banker
had declared a moratorium. This
was a small town, and this same
little small town banker is now
stooging for the Federal Land
Bank. A short time later the bank
cancelled the deposits.
The great Insurance Companies
Of this nation, in 1882 and 1888
refused to loan a single dollar on
their policies, altho these policies
carried a loan value in proportion
to the amount the policy holder
had paid in. They declared a mo-
ratorium themselves. They didn't
bother to getting a law passed.
But they did refuse to pay a
single cent.
For the past two years we have
had so-called moratorium on the
statute books of Montana. In or
der to get any action on it the
farmer had to hire a lawyer; pay
him $4,000 and appear before
some corporation-controlled Judge,
who always takes the case under
advisement. About the next you
hear Of it is a notice Of sheriff's
sale In the local newspaper. But
you have paid your lawyer 500,

Detroit, June 14- (UP) - The Workers Council for Social Justice, a new union incorporating the prin- ciples of Father Charles E. Cough lin's National Union for Social Jus tice, sought today to organize the 90 O,OOO workers in Henry Ford's River Rouge plant.
 Coughlin refused to confirm or deny that he had sponsored the union, financially or otherwise. He professed knowledge of its organiza- ton and during his Sunday after noon radio hour referred to it, but without mentioning its name. He said that full details would appear in next Thursdays issue of his weekly paper, Social Justice.
 Announcement of the new union, which has established headquarters in Dearborn, was made in full page advertisement in Detroit's Sunday newspapers. It urged all workers to join, stressed need oi cooperation between industry and labor and named Arthur E. Nelson, Ford Motor company employe, president; two other Ford workers as vice president and secretary, and Pontiac Motor company employe as treasurer. All officers refused to see reporters or to divulge details not contained in the advertisement,

Ashland, O., June 14-(UP)-Five supply planes took off at few-minute intervals today from the newly es- tablished, barbed-wire enclosed air base of the Republic Steel corpora tion, one mile north of here, laden with food and bedding for 5000 be- sieged workers in plants at Niles and Warren.
 The base, established in a 50-acre private flying field last Saturday after the company was denied use of a landing place in Cleveland. al- ready was humming with activity.
 Huge trucks, conveyed by small cars, rumbled in a constant stream to the airport entrance where guards questioned the drivers and then permitted them to pass on to the field. SightSeers were excluded from the field and were forced to watch the activity from behind the barbed-wire fence.
 Ashland county Sheriff H. F. Wal lett said Republic representatives told him the company planned to fly about 10 tons of food daily to Warren and Niles.
