injury.
Since the gymnasium was estab-
lished rings, ladders and other para

were given over exclusively for use of
ladies. ..

"While the triumphant enemy of
communism is taking snaps of this
evidence, which by the way will be
taken from him when he recrosses the
border, friends of the Soviet, by some
mysterious means known only to them
celves, are singing each other out for
congratulatory handshakes. At times
they even burst into snatches of song
from the International or some ballad
about Stenka Rain, the leader Of a
peasant revolt, but due to a peculiar
inability to follow a melody, these
musical efforts soon degenerate into a
babel Of shouting and expostulating.
The conservative tourist and even the
parior pink is considerably taken
aback at the change which has come
over his fellow travellers, mostly from
the United States, upon crossing the
Soviet border. They have suddenly be-
come very open in their championship
of communism and very bold and de-
faint in their denunciation Of capital
ism. Here Bronx school teacher an
nounces that at last she can speak
freely without fear of capitalistic re-
prisals; there Detroit mechanic tells
his open-mouthed, newly-made Russian
acquaintance about the American
workers families thrown into the
streets with their furniture, babies
and poor old grandmothers because
they couldn't raise the rent demanded
by their whip-cracking landlords
Close by, another party worker boasts
to an admiring group of the under
cover work he carried on while i'm
prisoned at Alcatraz. In the mean
time, several Russian communists
edge in to inquire how much longer
it will be before the American work
ers begin their revolution.
"Ten minutes of this initial demon
Stratlon is SUFFICIENT to SenG the aver
age champion of Americanism charg-
ing red-faced into the largest group
of agitators. But before he can finish
the first sentence of his denunciation
they drown him out with deafening
shouts to the effect that they have
all seen these very things with their
own eyes right in the streets of New
York, and Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Stunned, the champion of capitalism
seeks quiet corner in which to get
his bearings. When he energies, it is
with the realization that he is alone in
an alien world. Upon leaving the
Soviet border for Moscow, the Mecca
of all good communists, the tourists
concern is not, as might be expected
communism VS.. capitalism, but his
own immediate comfort, or as it turns
out to be, discomfort. Food, sleeping
accommodations, the safety of ones
purse and person, and the ill-reputed

Keeney. In this case, Mr., Keeney
was discharged as librarian from the
University by the State Board of
Education and Mr.. Simmons, presi-
dent of the University. The unions
and the State Federation of Labor
claim that he was dismissed on ac-
count of union activity. The Fedora
ton of Labor brought the case to
court at Helena. Nh. Graham, presi-
dent of the Federation of Labor, now
says that the State Board of Educa-
ton and Professor Simmons hired At
torney Edward Booth to defend their
action. It is Mr.. Graham's conten-
ton that the state has its own legal
staff represented in the Attorney
Generals office and that the engage
ment of any private legal adviser
should be paid for by the State Board
of Education individually or by
President Simmons of the University
and should not be charged up to the
people of Montana. The Trades and
Labor Council is protesting to the

Schools Ruth Reardon, and Harry

Clayton and Spendlove Are Re-
matched for Main Event on
Mondays Card.

After staging one of the fiereest
and best wrestling matches in
months, King Kong Clayton and
Billy %Spendlove have been re-
matched for this weeks card.
While the matchmakers do not be-
lieve in rematches unless there is an
actual reason, yet they are forced
to meet Spendlove's demand for a
rematch because the original deci-
sion was given him by the referee,
Al Lee, who later, yielding to the
cries of the crowd, changed his de-
cision, which is contrary to the rules.
Spendlove should have been given
the match; as it was, the contest
really went four falls instead of
three. After each had taken a fall,
Spendlove finally took the second
fall and was awarded same, then the
crowd started booing and Lee made
the boys come back and wrestle
another round, after which Clayton
took the famous Spendlove, making
two falls apiece, then Lee went one
better and gave the colored lad the
match, so you figure it out who won.
The semi-final will bring Speedy
Warren together with Young Hitler,

lowing here. Warren is new but

to the District Judgeship of Silver
Bow County. His official attitude
in the Morrissey murder case, and
the murder of Frank Little are not
forgotten. These crimes went I'M
punished, and in lieu of them, society
never collected its debt. These r
facts that should be investigated in
considering the nomination of Joseph
r. Jackson.
Mr.. Joseph R. Jackson on the
bench in Silver Bow County made a
record that appeared to be one of
malfeasance, misfeasance, and nom
f~easance in that position. His de-
cisions in the cases of st. George VS..
Butte and Ramsdale Mining Co,
Walsh VS.. East Butte Copper Mining
Co., stunk to the heavens above. One
other case that had the color of fraud
was one being waged by a member
of the Street Car Mems Union
against the Great Northern Railroad.
This was dismissed without letting
a jury determine the facts of it. An
other one was Epily VS.. the Milwau-
kee Railroad. This one was lost on
a directed verdict at the hands of
Judge Joseph R. jackson. 1t was
later tried before another court and
the plaintiff won it. The public re-
pudiated his decisions in these cases
at the election polls. So notorious
was he in rendering directed YER
diets in favor of corporations against
the common man that he became
universally known among attorneys
as D. v. Directed Verdict Jackson.
After he had been retired and de-
feated for reelection to the bench,
he attempted to practice law here,
but as an attorney he did not rank
25th in this community.
Rumors of his personal conduct is
well known here, and should be in
vestigated before he is installed in
the position that he is now nominated
for. His unpopularity here was the
cause in part of him departing, ac-
cording to current rumors Why
should the Administration and the
Senate select a man for any govern
mental position that has been SO uni
versally repudiated in a community
where he is best known?
I submit that I will be willing to
testify to the above facts according
to my best knowledge and belief,
and further l believe that I can get
other citizens here to do likewise.
I am not actuated by any personal
motives or prejudices in submitting
this protest.
Yours very truly,
B. C. Kinman.

FRAME
DELIVERS ADDRESS
TO T0WNSENDITES

Townsend Club No. 2 met at Low
ell Ave. Church with G. w. Swift
presiding and Dave E. Hooking as
secretary.
After a short business session, the
evening was spent listening to visit
ing guests and other speakers, end
ing with a fish-pond sale of nick
hacks, plus coffee and doughnuts.
Miss Catherine Berry sang two
vocal solos, accompanying herself on
the piano; Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Lyons
of Anaconda rendered three instru-
mental numbers on the violin and
guitar; Miss Wheeler, not yet in her
teens, gave a charming piano selec-
ton.
OF the outside visitors, Mr.. Jor-
gesen of Butte and Mrs. Keenan, from
California gave short talks in con-
nection with their Townsend activi-
ties, and Miss Berry spoke on: why
l am in favor of the Townsend plan"
She felt that there was no other solu-
ton in sight for to save the Lost
Generation (grade, high school and
college YOUTH from an uncertain and
difficult future but the Townsend
plan.
Mr.. w. B. Frame spoke on the
transaction tax, comparing it with
the gasoline tax which has built up
good roads in most of the states;
while at the same time the price of
gasoline has been lowered. The kerr
mel of his remarks was a self-an-
swered question: If the gasoline tax
on a smaller scale can accomplish
so much, why can't the Townsend
plan on a larger scale do as much?
Mr.. E. E. Cretors gave an illumin-
ating account of the Lewistown g.
day Pension Plans convention held
there recently. While the gist of
his remarks was to the effect that
an effort was made by Mr.. Clemens
to stampede the delegates away from
DR.. Townsend with whom he was a
former associate but the plan was
frustrated by the able stand taken
by Mr.. James Mckenzie and other
loyal Townsendites and a final mo-
ton was carried to stand by the
Townsend plan. He failed to state
who sponsored the convention call
and put up the money for the ex-
penses.
