BAKER AND FORSYTH
RECEIVE REDUCTIONS
In ELECTRIC RATES

After months Of legal procedure in
the state, Federal and Supreme
Court Of the United States, wherein
the Montana Railroad and Public
Service Commission has attempted
to reduce rates on domestic and COM
mercial electricity for the residents
of Baker and Forsyth, Montana, the
Public Service Commission of Mon
tana, consisting of Thomas E. Carey,
Horace F. Casey and E. E. Krebs-
bach, has affected a compromise with
the Mountain States Power Company
which will save residents Of Forsyth
and Baker the sum of $9,370.00 an
nually through reduced rates on
domestic and commercial electricity.
Residents of Forsyth, Montana, are
receiving refunds totaling $40, 10000,
the order of the Public Service Com
mission Of Montana being %retroac-
tive to September LIST, 1885. In
Baker, Montana, a smaller commu-
nifty, residents are receiving refunds
amounting to $4,750.00.
After the Public Service Commits
sion of Montana had ordered a re-
duction of the domestic and COM
mercial electricity rates in the cities
mentioned, the Mountain States Pow
er Company took the suits into the
Federal Court and was granted an
order preventing a reduction of rates
pending disposition of the case. The
utility then took the case to the
United States Supreme Court and at
the time the compromise was affect
ed the matter was again being heard
before a Federal Examiner at For
syth, Montana. 1t might be stated
that a three-judge Federal Court
held for the Montana Public Service
Commission on a question Of juris-
diction and when the Mountain
States Power Company appealed t.
the United States Supreme Court
the United States Supreme Cour'
reversed the decision of the three
judge Federal Court and, hence, thu
case was brought again before thu
three-judge Federal Court who re
ferred the taking of testimony be
fore an Exmainer at Forsyth, Mon
tana.
In addition to the reductions anC
refunds the Mountain States Powe.
Company was forced to pay the cite
of Baker and Forsyth the expense
incurred by them because of thu
litigation. While the affected com
promise is substantially the same a
the order of reduction entered b,
the Montana Public Service Commits
sion, in the first instance, the Gus
toners of the Mountain States Powe
Company in the cities mentionel
first agreed to affect the compromis
| before the Montana Public Servic
Commission gave its approval ant
| made its order of reduction accord
/ ingly.

DEFENSE fund FOR
TRI-STATE UNI0NISTS
Eleven Under Indictment for
Murder.

Unfortunately, there is no late
news from Galena, Kansas, regard
ing the II union miners who have
been charged with murder. The in
dictment is the aftermath of the fight
in Galena on April 10, in which
nine members of a company union
mob were shot down as they at
tackled the c. l.. o. hall with clubs
and guns. One of the attackers later
died of pneumonia and murder
charges were filed against the men
who were defending their hall and
in fact, their very lives, against a
liquor-inflamed mob.
According to the last reports from
the district, a defense committee has
been set up and the firm of Bruner
and Wolfe have been retained as
attorneys. These lawyers defended
several members of the 1. U. of M.
M. & S. w. in 1885 for alleged fell
onies, free of charge. The Inter
national has voted $1,000 to start the
defense fund and the Butte Miners
Union has donated $3.50, with more
Forthcoming if needed. All dona-
tons should be mailed to Secretary
Treasurer John M. Sherwood, from
whose office all disbursements will
be made. The committee wishes to
develop the broadcast mass support
for the defense of these courageous
men. They must be freed, no mat
ter what the cost.

Denied Apex Mills
BY SALLY ABBOTT
Federated Press

PHILADELPHIA.-(FP - In the
first decision of its kind given in a
federal court in Philadelphia, Judge
William H. Kirkpatrick denied an in
junction to the Apex Hosiery Co. to
GUST $50 sit-down strikers. Thus the
attorneys for the company lost and
the American Federation of Hosiery
Workers scored a signal victory.
ut has not been effectively argued
from the basis of the Wagner act that
the federal court has jurisdiction, .
said Kirkpatrick. "Nor has it been
proved that any of the defendants
took direct part in acts of violence
referred to in the petition. Apart
from the fact that their continued
trespass is a fragrant violation of the
laws Of Pennsylvania, the sole ques-
ton is the violation of the Sherman
law (a%nti-trust act), which defines
as illegal the restraint Of trade
among several states.
This was the strike in which Will
liam Meyer, president Of the com
pany, accused the city of not giving
the plant adequate protection and
Mayor Wilson retaliated by declar-
ing that the whole trouble at Apex
Hosiery Co. was caused by the atti-
tude of the officers of the company
who have taken an arbitrary posi-
ton. I learned the company had a
number of strong-arm men inside the
plant and that these men started the
disorder by throwing pipe through
the windows. The charges of Apex
officials r unfair"

came the 18th mill in this area to
accept the union program since Will

Newspaper
Guild Comes OF AGE

ST. LOUIS.-(FP)-Without leav-
ing the American Federation of La
Dor the American Newspaper Guild
at its fourth annual convention in
st. Louis June Til by a virtually
unanimous vote decided to affiliate
also with the Committee for Indus
trial Organization. The vote, 1871
to 1872, did not show the full C. |. O..
strength because some of the opposi-
ton votes were cast not against
utilization but against broadening the
guild jurisdiction, which was part of
the same motion.
The broadened jurisdiction now
includes workers in newspaper bust
ness, advertising, promotion and
circulation departments, except
newsboys. The newsboy problem is
to be studied before the next con-
vention and a report made to it.
It now becomes possible to inaug-
urate guilds with the minimum
membership of seven on many week
ly papers and tiny dailies. In case
OF strike a defiant union busting
publisher can be more easily
crippled with the circulation and adj
vertising men in common cause with
the editorial department. It was
even stated that in certain towns
where the mechanical trades have
not been able to Organize the guild
might take in such workers until
their proper unions are ready to en-
roll them.
These and other steps taken by
the guild convention under the lead
ership of Pres. Haywood Broun anc
Executive Secretary Jonathan Eddy
were evidence that working news
papermen in the United States hac
put aside childish things like the SO,
called romance of reporting, the fake
ha%ppy-family idea propagated by
publishers and the notion that pro.
fessional men must not lower them,
selves by joining a trade union.
Eddy reported AZ signed agree,
ments with newspaper publishers
against seven a year ago. He LISTED
SO active local guilds, against SO las
year. Treasurer Victor Pasche report
ed II, 112 members against 5716 a yea
back and a balance in the treasury
of $4,000 against 1921 a year ago
The loan from the A. F. L. wa
ordered repaid as soon as practicable
but the guild wants to keep a sizabl,

fishers ask for the medicine VIM

DEATH or Fish 1T
Lake RIPLEY SUSTAIN
Sp0RTSMEN'S VIEW

In order to help justify the posi-
ton taken by sportsmen of this dis
trict that lack of oxygen killed hun
dreds of thousands of trout in
Georgetown Lake last winter, the
writer is at this time quoting an
article from an issue of Field and
Stream page AZ, dated July, 1887,
and it is in point with the issues
raised by sportsmen on account of
the destruction Of fish in George
town Lake:
"SuffOcated Fish"
when the ice went out of Mime
sota's Lake Ripley this past spring,
a lot of fishermen's hopes went right
with it. For the wind that licked
this beautiful body of water clean of
its winter cover also lined its shores
with Lake Ripley's fish population
victims of what authorities believe
was nothing more than %suffocation.
"The drought of the past few
years lowered this lake to a danger
Gus level. There was not sufficient
drainage into Ripley to maintain its
water supply, and sportsmen became
a little worried. Then came the win
ter of 19%35-1936, covering the lake
with ice and a record blanket of
snow. When that was gone, the fish
lay white in the shoals. Pike, bass
and pan fish had died by the thou
sands. The belief exists that Lake
Ripley has probably been totally de-
pleted.
"Ice-fishing has been taboo in
these waters for some time, or this
tragedy might have been partially
averted. The combination of reced-
ing water levels and the heavy cover
of ice and snow proved disastrous.
Fish can't survive when their oxy-
gen supply fails, and the holes that
might have been kept open by tip-up
fishermen would have helped pre-
vent this staggering loss in Lake
Ripley. The ban on ice-fishing, seri-
ously intended to conserve fish, ac-
tually had the opposite effect, as is
the case with many well-intended
game and fish management laws.
The Lake Ripley incident is further
argument for making such legisla-
ton flexible enough to meet specific
emergencies without the delay of
legal red tape.
Lake Ripley will have to be re-
stocked. While its fish population
is again building itself up, a project
will be well under way to afford il
a diverted supply of water, lest there
be a recurrence of conditions which
ruined the lake this past spring"
The foregoing should clear any
shadow of doubt in the minds of the
most skeptical person as to the real
cause of the disaster at Georgetown
Lake, all of which was against the
recommendations of local sportsmen.
Our former fish and game commits
sion ignored petitions circulated by
the sportsmen to allow ice fishing,
