BOP. CHAIRMAN. IN
 UpSON ALARMED.
His Statement on Demo. cratic Attempt to Break
 c. 0. P. Ranks Amusing

The obvious alarm of Town chair- man J. Warren Upson over serious defections from the Republican ranks is reflected in his "boogeyo man" statement in . morning paper today. Charging Democrats with attempting to break up the Repub- iican party, he tacitly admits that the party, as now organised under his leadership, does face such Q break-up.
 Democratic Town Chairman John 1T. Crary said he had enjoyed MT. Upson's statement very much. "The Democrats" said MT. Crary, couldn't possibly do aS good . job of breaking up the Republican party in Waterbury as MT. Upson himself has done already" MT. Crary said he was too busy to make any lengthier comment, being very much occupied with seeing that new Democratic voters are sworn in.
 His Naive Gesture
 Mir. Upson in his statement made Q naive appeal to Mayor Hayes to make no attempt at reaching across Republican lines to drag Republi- cans over to his voting lever" Hc did not comment, however. on the fact that many leading Republicans, disgusted with the fusion set.up and the way 1t was engineered, have re fused to aid the local c. O. P. In the city election campaign. The fusion ticket, headed by Senator George T. Culhane, c Democrat, for mayer, was the result of some "nlas- ter.minding" by MT. Upson and The dependent Democratic leaders.
 No oualms Other Day
 Mir. Crary did take time to point out that Mir. Upson felt no qualrns

 Of gold, or by any other The rising costs
 of gold production will tend limit the worlds
 output of gold, and as equilibrium is established
 in world economy the demand for gold will be greatly increased by the necessity of many tons expand their monetary reserves Gold
 now sterilized will be released for sale to those
 nations desiring to improve their monetary posi-

 ton whether there is sufficient gold to

MINISTERIAL DELEGATE
SOUNDS WARNING TO
ORGANIZED LABOR
Should Train Themselves in
Processes of Democracy.

Emmerson Harris, ministerial dele
gate to the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, told of his home life in the state
of Nebraska in an interesting talk
to the delegates last Tuesday. He
said Nebraska is very backward in
respect to unions and that when
Mother Bloor was there they threw
her in Jail. He referred to the time
that Section IA was Incorporated in
the National Recovery Act and how
a debate arose in a Rotary club in
one of the Nebraska cities. A min
lister defended Section IA and the
rest of the club was opposed to it.
Delegate Harris was of the opinion
that if the proponent of the clause
was anything but a minister, he
would have been thrown out or per
haps thrown in the bastile. In the
opinion of the ministerial delegate,
the extinguishment of the middle
class from the fabric of American
society left a vacancy that should
and could be filled by organized la
Dor if they were alert to their OPP
p%ortunity. He referred to the power
Of the middle class during the time
of the great Teddy Roosevelt, Will
son and Brian and how these people
helped to put those famous men into
the White House. This same class
accumulated immense fortunes dur
ing the wal and after the war they
thought that this era of cornucopia
was going to continue forever. They
forgot about OF neglected to train
themselves in conceptions of eco
Monies and social problems; they
were intoxicated by the state of
Elysiun in which they found them
selves. Nov we see another force
in American society, we see propa-
ganda throughout the length and
breadth of the land, prejudices of
one section against another, one
philosophy pitted against another,
and the people who subscribe to
these hatreds cannot be weaned
away from them" Labor should be
the vehicle to carry on the process
of democracy. The government has
always been controlled by a special
interest group, and that control has
always been the main threat to de-
mocracy, therefore labor should take
such practical steps as training them
selves to be able to control the gov
eminent if necessary in democracy.
Labor, according to the speaker, has
a wonderful opportunity and the
need for education along those lines
was never more urgent. He praised
the idea of the institution of a labor
college.

Employers Violate Provisions of

From Billings Labor Broadcast

from Billings LABOR Broadcast
enthusiastically there has
appeared in the windows of a limited
number of business establishments
in the city of Billings, a placard or
poster headed with the words 1.-THE
American Plan" on the top lefthand
corner, and on the top right hand
corner there is inscribed a picture
of the American Flag. This poster
sets forth in substance the wonder
full things that The American Plan
has done for the city of Billings.
What are the facts? Under this
so-called American plan (Which
would be more appropriately called
"The Dollar Plan")( girl employees
have been working for as little as
So, $40 and $12 a week-not even
enough to supply them with the
common necessities of life. En-
ployees have been working from 10,
IL, or even as high as Is hours a
day, in violation of Section 4 of
Article Is of the Constitution of the
State of Montana, which reads as
follows:
"a period of eight hours shall
constitute a days work in all in
dustries, occupations, undertakings
and empIOyments, except farming
and stock raising; provided, how
ever, that the legislative assembly
may by law reduce the number of
hours constituting a days work
whenever in its opinion a reduc-
ton will better promote the gem
eral welfare, but it shall have no
authority to increase the number
of hours constituting a days work
beyond that herein provided"
Under this so-called American
Plan, people from other states have
been invading this community every
year, taking jobs which rightfully
belong to the members Of organized
labor, who have their homes and
residences in this community.
It is impossible for workers to re-
ceive decent wages and working CON
ditions under the so-called American
Plan. The existing condition here
has proved that. Every boarding
house keeper, every apartment or
tenement house owner, every life
insurance company, every grocery
store, every real estate man, and
every other business man should get
behind organized labor for collective
bargaining. Their prosperity de-
ponds upon the amount of wages col
lected by the working people in this
community. These working people
are the large consumers and the
wages they receive, OF a large part
thereof, will be spent in these bust
ness establishments. We want you
to give these fundamental facts your
serious consideration.
