How Weirion Hatthei
Gang SIugged Girls.
Boasted OF Spies

NEW CUMBERLAND, w. Va
(FP)-The ugly details of how a
Ratchet gang carries on in the in
terests of a big anti-labor corpora
ton were further spread on the
record of the labor board, as addi-
tional witnesses in the hearing of
charges against the Weirton Steel
Co. told:
How two sisters of a union organ
izer were beaten by steel company
thugs, one of them into unconscious
ness.
How steel workers were offered
per diems ranging up to $40 to be-
tray their fellow-workers by keep
ing union organizers out of town."
getting out the vote against Roose-
welt and stooling on union members.
How a Ratchet gang chief boosted
of a blacklist of men who would
never be hired again by the Weirton
Steel Co.
How union organizers were black
lacked and their lives threatened.
Helen and Camilla Barron, sisters
of Steven Barron, a union organizer,
told of driving to a Democratic club
card party in Weirton Heights last
Oct. 16 with Kenneth Koch, also an
organizer. While enroute two car
blocked their way and a brick sailed
through the windshield. Ratchet
men, clubs swinging, came dashing at
them. Helen screamed cloud enough
to be heard two blocks away, but no
one heard me at the police station
less than a block away" She told
how she was dragged from the car,
bruised and knocked unconscious.
Her sister was also beaten, but did
not lose consciousness. At the hear
ing she identified a pocketbook, con-
tanning the Identification card of Jo-
seph Mazurowski, which was
dropped by n of the assailants.
Koch was blackjacked into uncon-
seriousness. Previously his life had
been threatened. A telephoned threat
was traced to a phone in the Weirton
plant.
Theodore Schroyer, like his broth
er Charles earlier in the proceedings,
testified that he was offered $40 a
day and expenses by Claude Con-
way, Ratchet gang chief, to keep
organizers out of town." Another
witness told how Conway Dragged
of his blacklist and the astuteness
of his stoolpigeons. Luigi William
son said he was paid S. a day in 1882
by 0. E. Burgham, tin mill super
intendent, to take workers to the
polls with orders to vote for Hoover.
He told them to vote for Roosevelt
instead. The next year Williamson
was paid SIS to $40 a week to join
the union as a spy, but he decided
he didn't like that kind of work and
turned around and started working
for the union"

Show Your Libera|ity-
patronize Your Store

Members of organized labor and
people generally who are interested
in ameliorating some of the harsh
ness of the capitalist system, should
give their support to the cooperative
store at 423 East Park Street. This
is the first cooperative movement
outside of the Farmers Cooperative
Wholesale at Front Street that Butte
has witnessed in a generation. In
many places in the middle west and
back east the cooperative movement
has had astounding success. Last
year President Roosevelt appointed
a commission to study the coopera-
tive movement in some foreign
countries, including Ireland, Eng
land, Scotland, and the Scandinavian
countries. Sweden has had remark
able success and it was largely
through the development of her huge
e~ooperatives that she was able to
stand the shock of the depression so
easily. The cooperative movement
is not a panacea for all capitalist
ills but it does present a gradual if
seemingly interminable solution to
the profit system. Under the CO.
operative movement the patrons ac-
tually receive the profit from the
enterprise. The profits do not go
to an individual. There are thou
sands of people in Butte who are
literally inclined, some of them are
socialists, some of them are COM
munists, all of them are rather bitter
toward the cruelty of the capitalist
system. The least these folks can
do in a material way is to patronize
the Miners Union Cooperative Store
at 423 East Park st.

WARSHIp5 FOR WHAT!

At a press conference the other
day Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of Naval Operations, announced that
the Navy will ask the next session of
Congress for $3.50, 100000 or more to
add to our war fleet two new $4,000
ton b~attleships and two light cruis-
ers.
The Navy has just begun to build
two b~attleships which will cost
around $60,000,000 apiece. Now it
wants two more, with a couple of
d~estroyers thrown in for good mea-
sure.
To the taxpayers, and that means
all of us, that should be the last
straw. The national budget is al
ready dangerously out of balance.
Now comes the Nays demand for
more. You don't balance budgets
that way.
Nor do you aid the u of world
peace that way. 1t has been said a
thousand times, and we say it again:
battleships T aggressive weapons.
They are useless for defense. Ask
any navy expert and he will tell you
so. Then what are those warships
for? They are for fighting a war
overseas, an offensive war.
The citizens hereabouts don't want
that kind of war preparations. And
they don't want our Navy running
away with the national pocketbook
either. The least we can do is to
watch that construction bill at the
next session of Congress, and see
that our congressman oppose it.

Beauty Operator Is An
Employee M Must
Pay An Income Tax

Observation-Disclosures BARRIERS and
beauty operators, most of whom
operate in shops established and
conducted by the oyner thereof, r
employees of that owner even though
they pretend to be dealing directly
with the public and receive a per-
centage of their earnings or pay to
the owner a percentage of their cash
receipts in lieu of rent, holds the
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission of Montana in a legal inter-
probation induced by a situation
existing in many shops throughout
the state.
The commission takes the view
that the owner leases or owns the
quarters, owns and maintains the
fixtures, pays the incidental ex-
penses, controls the arrangement of
equipment, establishes the hours,
fixes the prices, engages the indi-
vidual operator and reserves the
right to terminate his or her services,
and thus creates for himself the
standing of employer.
With the existence of such a
standing, the commission holds the
owner to be liable for the payroll
tax upon the commissions or per-
centages earned by all such en-
ployees to the same degree as though
he had paid such amounts as fixed
wages.
Not only does this ruling apply to
BARRIERS and beauty operators but it
applies with similar force to the
earnings of a porter operating a shoe
shine stand in a barber shop, holds
the commission in a ruling likewise
adopted by the Federal Social Sc
curity Board.

THE SPANISH EARTH

Produced and directed by: Joris Ivens
Commentary by: Ernest Hemingway
This is a remarkable film. When
one tries to analyze and dissect it,
ones impressions are so vivid, one
finds oneself so stirred, both intel
~lectually and emotionally that sober,
critical judgment becomes exceed
ingly difficult.
The Spanish Earth was made on
the Spanish front, and in a typical
Spanish village by one of the great
est cinematographers of our times.
1t is newsreel stuff at its best with
the deep appreciation of human val
ues and social implications in the
best tradition of the documentary
film. Fundamentally a complete
truthfulness of its presentation is its

Spain Featured in
Anniversary Num-
Der Of The Fiqht

The close of a year of the Spanish
war is commemorated in the August
number of The Fight, monthly maya
zine of the American League Against
War and Fascism. A feature of the
number is IN art supplement of l6
pages on Spain, including two pages
with reproduction of Spanish posters.
The entire magazine, 48 pages in
all, is given over to Spain, with
articles on the culture Of that coun-
try, its trade union movement, Amer
| lean aid and American and British
policy as it relates to that war-torn
land. An outstanding article is that
| of Carlton Brown, who presents a
week-by-week resume of the struggle
of the Spanish people to GUST the
| German and Italian invaders, and to
| crush the military-Fascis rebellion
| of the handful of generals.
Mauritz A. Hallgren, an editor of
The Baltimore Sun, contributes the
leading article on American neutral
ity, 'The U. S. Plays Ostrich" in
which he shows that our neutrality
not only means in effect that we are
taking sides with the rebels against
the legitimate government of Spain,
but that it is completely unrealistic
in that it overlooks entirely the part
played in Spain by Germany and
Italy. The Neutrality Act of 1887
clearly calls for the imposition of an
embargo against aggressor nations
like Germany and Italy, Hallgren
points out.
The ramifications of British for
eign policy are taken up, point by
point, by Harold ]. Laski of the Lon
don School of Economics, one of the
greatest political economists on the
Continent. He comes to the conclu-
sion that Great Britain's diplomatic
game has worked to the advantage
of Fascism and the Fascist adventure
in Spain; and that Great Britain is
maneuvering the European situation
in such a way as to remove the
danger of Nazi aggression in the West
in order to turn the Nazi torrent in
the direction of the Soviet Union.
Several articles throw light on i'm
portant subjects not hitherto death
with by the American press. Roberto
Rendueles, in "Out of Darkness"
gives a concise account of the CEN
tury-long struggle for political de-
mocracy, which eliminated in the
establishment of the republic in 1881.
E. P. Greene writes on Forging La
Dor Unity" the history of SPANS
labor movement. His detailed article
explains clearly the origin and de-
velopment of the various workers
organizations. Paul Patrick Rogers
tells the story of 'The Culture of
SPAIN" in which the people have
been at the same time artist, hero
and critic" Other articles are Amer
lean Aid to Spain," by Berenice E.
Near; and eat a Hospital" Herbert
Kline's narrative of his visit to an
American base hospital in Loyalist
territory.
A high point in this number of The
Fight is a full page editorial on "a
Good Neighbor Policy?" by DR.. Har-
ny F. Ward, national chairman of the
American League.
Among the fine artists who are
represented are: George Biddle, Jo-
. seph Stella, Paul Cadmus, Wanda
!. IGag, John Groth, A. Birnbaum,
George Hickey, George Picken, Moses
Soyer, H. J. Glintenkamp and Will
liam Wesley.
