MONTANA'S ONLY NATIVE SON WHO
HAS SAT In The GOVERNORS CHAIR

Swiren, came the statement: eve
are going to clean out the plants
ourselves If the sheriff or the 90
vernon do not act right away"
Martin Durkin, Illinois director
of labor, quoted Gov. Henry Hor-
ner as being quite "incensed at
the attitude of the company Off
Gals" Conferences were called at
the governors office at Spring
field, but company officials insist
ed they would not participate if
outsiders" were there, or even if
strikers appeared as union mem
bers. By outsiders, they had REFER
ence to Meyer Adelman, C. I. o.
organizer, and others elected as
representatives.
Meanwhile, as the strike to gain
recognition for Lodge Sc of the
Amalgamated Assn. of Iron, Steel
q Tin Workers seemed slated to-
be a showdown of the legality of
the sitdown technique in this i'm
portant midwest industrial state.
the strikers themselves held to
their fortress, protected from the
cold winds which sweep off Lake
Michigan only by blankets sent to
them by friends on the outside.
Victors in two-hour attack
during which county officials ex-
hausted their supply of teargas,
the strikers shivered in upper
floors of buildings 8 and 5. The
company had offered light, heat
and water cut off. At night the
strikers appeared in the windows
as Pickering shadows moving in
dim candlelight. After Leo Krzy-
cki, G. I. o. representative on the
scene, appealed to Gov. Horner for
heat in the plant as a health

ORGANIZED SPY
BODY UNCOVERED

WASHINGTON.-The existence
of a highly centralized organiza-
ton of corporation labor experts"
whose influence extended into
every major industry of the Uni
ted States, and whose shadowy ex-'
istence during the past 20 years
had been but vaguely suspeced by
unionists, was revealed in detail
last week by the La Toilette Com
mittee investigating violations of
civil liberties.
From this body, known as the
Special Conference Committee,
emanated the poisonous company
union theories which have emascu-
lated industries, intricate spying
and black-listing systems, and
carefully designed campaigns
against bona fide unions that
threatened company profits.

and voted with the majority to
pass it in order to falsify and
clear their records. One of these
two was the republican candi-
date for United States senator
opposing Senator Murray. The
other is the senator from Still
water County, Arnold by name.
When the bill came to third
reading, where their votes were
conveniently absent and the
other voted to pass the bill in
order to fool the voters into be-
lieving that he was in favor of
the bill. This bill related to a
two year moratorium giving de-
linquents the right to redeem
their property from tax sale by
paying only the taxes without
interest or penalty. This man
Arnold had told me only a few
days previously that he had
bought in some choice lands al
a song: Lands which had sold
during the boom days at $50 per
acre. So you see he is trying to
steal his neighbOrs land by re-
fusing him a chance to redeem
them in the event of good crop
for a year or two. These are
samples of the kind of Opposi-
ton we are encOuntering and
will explain in part the state

pie need not expect much relief

w. P. PHGERAM OF
CASCADE COUNTY

1t seems that the only native son
of Montana who has ever sat in
the Governors Chair of Montana,
Gov. Ayers claims for campaign
purposes Notwithstanding, is w.
P. Pilgerman Of Arlington, Cas-
cade county, Montana, who as
Speaker of the oath Legislative
Assembly, occupied that chair in
the absence of Acting Governor
Cooney and President Pro Tenn
ad Interim of the Senate from the
state on several occasions during
1886 and sc, the Speaker of the
House being the third heir in line
for the Governorship, and serves
in the absence from the state of
the two ahead of him.
w. P. Pilgeram was born in
Great Falls, Montana, on First
Ave-, South, in what was then the
Commercial Hotel which his faith
er managed at that time, on March
18th, 1890.
"Bill" Pilgeram served in the
Marines during the World War
and has a very good war record.
He resigned a very good job in the
spring of 1917 to enter the SER
vices of his country.
In 1922 Pilgeram was elected to
the Legislature for the first time
and served in the sessions of 1923,
and was thereafter elected to and
served in four other sessions or
five in all. In the session of 1925,
or the oath session, he was elected
Speaker of the House of Repres-
entatives, and as such, on the re-
signation Governor Erickson, and
Leut.-Governor Cooney who sue
ceeded him, and President Pro
Tenn ad Interim, Sen. Elmer Holt,
the next in line, were both out of
the state from June 7th to June
18th, 1853, Pilgeram was the first
native son to be governor of Mon
tana. Again in July, and again in
August 1886, Gov. Holt was out of
the state when Pilgeram was
again governor.
So Pilgeram is the first and only
native son to be governor of Mon
tana.

A SENATOR'S
LETTER TO A
CONSTITUENT

The situation at Helena this
winter as regards the 25th Leg
islative Assembly, is frankly and
clearly described in the following
letter of one of the Senators from
the south and eastern part of the
state to prominent constituent
in that part of the state. The let
ter was written on the tenth of
February, and disclosed what the
facts were at that time.
Senate Chambers,
Helena, Montana
February 10, 1927.
My dear friend:
We are now definitely lined
up in the Senate. We have only
twenty-One prOgressives who will
''stay put" on progressive meas
ures. That leaves us just five
short of a tie or six short of a
majOrity-there being two alb
sent. Eaton, the arch traitor
who dOuble-crOssed Sparkling, is
IN California Ostensibly recuper-
atlng from a surgical operation,
but as some of us believe, is
ashamed to face his colleagues.
The other absentee is from San
ders county where, due to the
resignation of Senator Shannon.
the County Commissioners re-
fused to elect a man in his
stead. Their ground for so doing
was that no senator was worth
the cost of a special election.
This reason is of course a valid
one. We therefore are operating
with 81 senators instead of Sc.
Now, since the zerOs are in
the lead, you may look in vain
for any progressive legislation
from this legislature. They have
beaten us on all bills where any
corporation is taxed or regulated
in any way. We had an amusing
incident today which explains
the methods employed by the
zerOs. When Senate Bill 80.
which is a bill vital to the
drought stricken farmers of
eastern Montana, was reported
out from Committee, there was
a concerted action amongst the
zerOs to defeat it on adoption of
the committee report, but they
did not muster strength enough
to do this on a minority report,
so all but two of them turned !,

PROGRESSIVES PUT UP
VALIANT BATTLE

If anybody is in doubt as to the
power that runs the political cir
Gus which shows in Helena every
two years, he needs only trip to
the seat of political corruption and
watch the ringmasters of, the Ana
conda Copper Company and other
corporate powers put the ele-
plants, donkeys, and other assert
ed animals through their courses.
1t seems there is nothing that can
be said or done sufficiently force
full to convince the average voter
that he is hiring cut-throat at
the rate of ten dollars per day to
work as hard as possible against
his immediate interests. He must
learn by physical and mental suf-
fering.
Of the many bills that were in
PRODUCED in the house and senate
during the present session of the
legislature, it is doubtful if there
was a single one of them which
would have been of greater bene-
fit to the farmers and workers of
the state as the Moratorium meas
ure introduced on Lincoln's birth
day and known as House Bill 387.
The people are in such a state Of
distress throughout the nation
that the legislators of many states
nave not only placed a moratorium
law on the statute books but ex-
tended the existing law to remain
in effect two years longer.
BUT NOT SO WITH MONTANA
And who is to blame for such
shameful disregard of the peoples
welfare? The answer is not a diff
ficult one. The people themselves
are entirely to blame. Rather than
exert the one remaining power
that is still theirs-mass pressure
they allowed their particular
elephant or donkey or Mexican
flee, if you will have it, to barter
away the privilege that would
nave given them breathing spell
from the attacks of the unholv
PACK of money sharks who have
picked their bones during the life
time of toll.
Inc Moratorium Bill was spon-
'ored by the Holiday Association
II Montana and the one refreshing
-eature was that there were Soma
Upright men in the House and
senate who would not "irnn
through the hoop" at the crack If
he whip by the Anaconda Conner
Jompany's ringmaster. So that
ne people may know who it was
nat tried to serve best the in
ereSts Of the distressed farmers
nd workers it is only fitting that
ne roll call of both houses be
made known.
