by all classes of people throughout the country" the Council said.
"Momentous decisions will be made at this convention. Policies and
plans which will vitality affect the future welfare of the American Fedora
ton of Labor will be formulated and adopted.
There is need for N expression of the collective judgment and opinion
of the membership of the American Federation of Labor at this convention.
Such action as may be taken ought to fairly and adequately represent
the welleonsidered opinion of the millions of workers who are identified

HOWARD SCOTT Will
SPEAK HERE sept. y

Howard Scott, founder, director
in chief of Technoeracy, Inc, and
nationally famous as a speaker, will
lecture in Butte in the High School
auditorium the evening of Septem-
Der 10th. The public is cordially
invited to attend this meeting and
to listen to an exponent of a plan
which predicates the abolition of
poverty upon the proper control,
ownership, and development of
chronological processes.
Howard Scott, founder and direc-
tor-in-chief of Technocracy, Inc, is
making a four-month tour of Can
ada and the United States. To date
the schedule calls for over one hun
dred and fifty lectures, over two
hundred formal dinners and twenty
radio broadcasts.
The tour began August 22nd at
Cleveland, Ohio, and will cover
about two thousand miles, ending
the last of December. In travelling
through Montana this month, How
ard Scott will stop at Great Falls
on Sept. n to lecture at the Junior
High School auditorium. This lee
ture will be broadcast over the radio
at 8 p. m. In Helena on the follow
ing day, Mr.. Scott will give a force
full talk to all present. Butte will
have the privilege of hearing this
great man and leader lecture in the
High School auditorium at 7:30 p. m.
Once again the leader of this or
%ganization, the technologist respon-
sible for the initial Investigations
which led to the formation of Tech
nocracy, Inc, the mar who actually
formed the organization, the man
who produced the theory of energy
determinants, and who has been
largely responsible for welding the
body of thought which is Technoc-
racy, will make his third continental
tour in his gigantic task of construct
ing the chronological army" of the
new America.
Surrounded originally by many
eminent men of science and engi-
neering, as Thomas Edison, DR..
Steinmetz, many of whom were re-
moved by death, or who succumbed
to other interests, Howard Scott car
ried on his investigations, practically
alone, through the long decade of
the twenties. Through the coopera-
ton of the Columbia University,
T~echnocraey has been able to COM
pile the results of a series of re-
search in industry, environment,
politics, unemployment, etc.
Where has the invincible glass
blowers union gomez" asks Scott in
one of his lectures. "And how about
the open-hearth workers? The time
is not far when metals will be forged
in one process from electric fur

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
LIQUOR: AS 1T WAS, AS 1T is

Following the lead of the New jersey tavern
keepers, who recently resolved to clean up their
business, the Pennsylvania Federation of Liquor
Dealers have adopted resolutions to the same end
after Attorney General Chas J. Margiotd warned
them 10 clean house if they would avert return
70 prohibition. The attorney general backed up
his argument by pointing to the results in 1928
PENNSYLVANIA local option elections since repeal in
$50 of which either beer or liquor or both were
Outlawed.
What the liquor business is doing today is mere
" q repetition Of what it has always done The
Pittsburgh Press which does not believe in prohi-
btion but sees Pennsylvania rushing pell-mel back
into ii. is publishing series of highly descriptive
stories showing the prevalence of all types of evil
in connection with that city's saloons. These
dtions existed year ago, the Press says, and still
exist:
The honky-tonks. barbccueS, one-men clubs and
other dives in which liquor is sold in this county
are worse than the od-tmc saloons ever dreamed
of being. They pander to every form Of vice. They
sell to minors. to drunks, and after hours. Gam
bling and prostitution are an accompaniment to
the sale of liquor in many of these establishments"
We're not these exactly the same offenses which
the liquor business committed prior to prohibition?
Was it not just such a series of OutrageS against
individuals families. and communities that caused
towns, counties, states, and finally the nation to
rise up against the liquor evil? Does anyone really
believe that the liquor trade, fattening on the mis-
cry and degradation of thousands is capable Of
reforming itself, even though it fears the cOnse-
Cuenccs of its misdccds Christian Science Mon
itor.

MORALITY AND SCHOOLS

OF young Americans this question is asked by
John Ersknc:
"Wir their education make them more industi-
Gus? More dependable? More sensitive to ideals
which are unselfsh, the pursuit of which will bring
neither publicity nor profit? In word, will the
school or college train their character?"
Mr. ErSlne, writing in Liberty magazine, goes
on to express doubt that the school or col
ege will.
And he concludes that where morality is not
taught from the home up the educational system
becomes an expensive folly"
Mr. Erskinc, We hope, overdraws the picture,
especially in respect to southern schools and col
leges. which always have placed uncommon en-
phaSs upon character building.
But his words should give pause to everyone in
the education profession, to every parent, and to
every citzen-Grccnville Piedmont.

RISKY BORROWING"

Current sackening of federal government bor-
rowing, Frank r. Kent explains in his syndicated
column, is deceiving phenomenon.
Instead of borrowing directly from the banks
the people through the issuance of bonds, the gov
eminent has adopted policy of spending the
funds supposedly placed in trust with the govern
ment, by the people under the Social Security Act.
The money which comes out of weekly pay
checks, and which should be set aside to care Tor
the workers in their old age, is going into the
public treasury for general expense.
There are arguments pro and con about it but
the plan has obvious weaknesses and risks.
Social security" would become hollow term
if the plan were continued too long.-Greenville
