PAPER TO
GERMAN FASCIST

ROYAL OAK, Mich.-(FP)-So-
cial Justice, the Father Coughlin
periodical, is now in the hands of a
German-American Hitler leader
named Walter Baertschi Of Toledo.
Printed originally in Chicago it
claimed an initial circulation of 200,-
900, though the press run was only
10000.
It never clicked with the public,
perhaps partly because of its con-
fused policy. This was expressed in
the right ear at the top of the front
page in the words, Production for
Use at a Fair Profit. Since produc-
ton for use means the opposite of
production for profit, whether fair
or unfair, the public evidently found
it hard to swallow such a diet with
out the sauce of the radio orator.
A deeper reason for the decline of
the Coughlin influence and his re-
cent muzzling by Archbishop Moo
ney of Detroit is found in the rise of
the United Auto Workers. This I'M
ion has brought to the workers in
real dollars and cents and in actual
shorter hours the fulfillment of the
vague promises unsteady Numbered
over the ether by the radio priest.

Amendments 10 Byrnes
Law 10 Be Sought After
AtquitiaI OF ]. H. Rand

WASHINGTON.-(FP - Amend
ments to the Byrnes law, prohibiting
the interstate shipment of strike
breakers, will be sought by the U. S.
Department of Justice following the
acquittal of James H. Rand, Jr., and
Pearl Bergoff, strikebreaker king, in
New Haven, Conn.
The acquittal of Rand, pyscho-
pathic, labor-hating head of the
Remington-Ran Corp, and Bergoff
caused considerable surprise here.
Members of the Senate civil liberties
committee were at a loss to explain
the verdict Of the jury that Rand
and Bergoff had not transported
strikebreakers across state lines
when they remembered testimony
before the Senate committee from
Chowderhead Cohen describing the
trip to Middleton, Conn.
The nature of the amendments to
be sought by the Justice department
we're not made known but it was
thought likely that some definition
of peaceful picketing'' would be in
cluded.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
LEAGUE FORMED IN
SILVER BOW COUNTY

At the Public Ownership meeting
at the auditorium of the Butte High
School last Tuesday evening, No
vember 2Srd, a local Public Owner
ship League was formed following
the address of DR.. Carl D. Thomp-
son. The meeting was sponsored by
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council.
At the conclusion of the address
of Mr.. Thompson, people were urged
to join a local league. Representa-
tives of the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell present stated they would report
the meeting back to the various I'M
ions for appropriate action. Dr..
Thompson gave a very brilliant adj
dress and showed how the use Of
electricity could be the means of
balancing the budgets Of cities, states
and the nation, and that if properly
and fully utilized, would be the
means of raising the spiritual, eco
nomic and material welfare OF the
nation. Mr.. Thompson showed how
municipalities could own their own
power system. He gave a compari-
son of some rates of public and pri-
vately owned systems. He men
TONED that for IS kilowatt hours Of
electrical energy, Butte people pay
So. In Tacoma they pay $1.13 for
the same amount, while throughout
the area controlled by the Tennessee
Valley Authority people only pay rs
cents for 200 kilowatt hours, and in
Ontario, Canada, under the public
owned hydro-electric system they
only pay rs cents. Reduction in
rates is further accentuated as con-
sumption increases, for instance in
Butte, people pay $3.50 for 100 kilo-
watt hours. In Tacoma they only
pay $2.12.
The speaker later on described the
tremendous volume Of fictitious CAPT
t~alization values in the public utility
companies of the United States.
James Comba, president of the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, was chairman of the meeting.
Mayor Charles Hauswirth, in some
Introductory remarks, showed the
unjustifiable charges placed upon
Montana residents and business men
by the Montana Power Company.

The closing of the mines, which
threw 1000 people out of work, most
of them in Silver Bow County, has
attracted national attention, especial
ly from Montana Congressman and
Senators.
Senators Wheeler and Murray
have asked the national administra-
ton to grant additional quotas to be
employed under the Works Progress
Administration. Through their eff
forts and Mr.. Joe Parker, admins
traitor of WPA, an increase of 1000
has been obtained. One thousand
more people may be employed on
Works Progress Administration prof.
ects than were previously employed
before the closing of the Tramway,
Badger and other mines. Butte is
most seriously affected of all COM
munities in the state, although the
closing of the mines has already been
felt in Anaconda, Great Falls, Kalis-
pell, and other communities. The
thousand additional people to be pro-
vided with work on the WPA are not
confined to Silver Bow County alone
but the whole state of Montana. To
be sure, the national administration
granted the increase, because of suf-
fering and restitution owing to the
shutdown in Silver Bow County. In
dustrial centers Immediately feel the
pinch of the curtailment of industrial
operations.
All Of Montana's senators and con-
gressmen have done their utmost
to secure help. kilograms from
Wheeler, Murray and O'Connell are
published here in order to show the
extent of their efforts.
Senator Murray's telegram was
dated November Is in Washington
and said, Result of my conference
with Hopkins, have secured increased
quota of 1000 to take care of I'M
employment situation due to curtail-
ment of mine operations and result
ing closing of mines. Wire me if
this will aid in relieving the situa-
ton and if necessary for me to make
further efforts here. Signed, James

We PRESENT A NEW
THANKSGIVING STORY
A Yarn That Can Be Understood
By ALI, and One That Contains
Much Truth If Little Refine
ment.

We come again to the time of the
year when it is the custom of all to
recall their blessings of the past
Twelve-month. Much has been writ
ten upon this theme in the years
gone by. So much has been told, in
fact that it would be quite difficult to
select a new story for Thanksgiving,
However that may be, there are
many things to be thankful for, and
if our story cannot be new it is at
least original.
Each and every one of us can be
thankful that we have a million dol
lars; if we haven't a million dollars
we can be glad that we are not en-
tirely broke. If we are entirely
broke, then give thanks for our good
health. If our health is not what il
should be, be thankful you are not
sick in bed. If sick in bed, be glad
that you are not dead, and if you are
dead it will not make any difference
anyhow.
Be thankful that you are a wise
and sagacious man. If you are not
wise nor sagacious, thank your
Maker that you are just an average
man. If not an average man, be
thankful that you are not a half-wit.
If it SO happens that you are a half
wit, be pleased that you r not a
full Pledged lunatic. If you are a
lunatic you are happy anyhow. So
why worry?
Yes, our blessings are many. Those
who are free can be thankful they
are not in jail. Those in Jail can be
cheered at the thought they r not
going to be hung, and even those
that are going to be hung can be
glad they are going to have a good
meal before they die. If they have
indigestion, that's just too bad.
And even here our blessings do not
end. Remember the summer of 1886?
Remember how terrible the drouth
was? Then we were thankful if we
had a halfway good crop. If there
was no crop, the ranchers were glad
they were not hungry. If they hap
pened to be hungry, they were
thankful they were not going to stay
that way. If they stayed that way
too long they were glad when they
starved, for they were not hungry
any longer.
There it is! Nothing is so bad that
it could not be worse. Maybe we
might think it is, but it isn't. If
things look blue you may just be
color blind. If the future seems to
hold nothing for you, perhaps it's
because you are unable to see into
the future.
When Thanksgiving day arrives be
grateful. If you sit down to a poor
dinner, be thankful that it is even a
poor dinner. Some have not even a
poor dinner. If your clothes r a
bit ragged, just remember they are
clothes-and some people have not
enough of them to keep warm-worn
or otherwise.
Be thankful!

CAPITAL IS A5SAlLED
FOR DELIBERATE
WORK (URTAILMENT

On Nov. 10Th a radio address was
delivered over Station KGIR by
Arvo Fredrickson on the question of
1.-THE Unemployment Situation in
Montana" Since too much attention
cannot be given to the issues of I'm
employment, the following parts of
the broadcast are reproduced:
There were 10 million unem-
ployed workers in the United States
this year during the peak of the re-
covery period. This figure was
agreed upon as a minimum by all
reliable national statistical agencies.
During the week of Oct. 24tn to 29th,
this figure was increased IN Butte
by the mass layoff of mere than
1900 miners. This is in addition to
the closing down of the Great North
ern railroad shops in Great Falls
which resulted in 300 workers losing
their jobs, as well as sizeable lay
offs of lumber workers, beet work
ers and many others.
"Just one month ago cur State
Labor Commissioner, Edward o.
Byrne, stated his belief that within
the following 80 days, 10 per cent
of the entire population of Montana
would be unemployed. The present
trend fully bears out Mr.. O'Byrne's
prediction.
''This creates for the people of
Montana today a situation which
they will do well to study and to
understand. They are in the grip
of circumstances which affect most
vitality their welfare and happiness
which cannot be ignored. The men,
acing shadow of unemployment
blights their present existence and
causes grave apprehension for the
future. Unemployment, again, has
become a major problem of depress-
ing aspect.
words have been recklessly
thrown about, on the air and on the
pages of reactionary newspapers, to
becloud, misrepresent and minimize
the issue of unemployment - its
causes and its consequences. Words
can also be used, when freedom of
speech and press is not suppressed
or censored, to clarity human prob
lens and to offer practical measures
for their solution. In the case of the
present unemployment crisis in Mon
tana-which by all signs threatens
to become increasingly acute through
the winter ~months-we can name
those responsible for forcing need
less suffering upon many thousands
of workers and their families. We
can ncove the mad profit motives
of the big corporations and show
how, only by curbing their selfish
policies, unemployment can be con-
trolled and eliminated. We can say
that in Montana, as elsewhere, UNI
employment is a man-made institu-
ton.

Word was received from the
Building Trades Council of Ana
conda that Charlie Johnson, owner
of the Park Street Garage, is unfair.
The action against Johnson was tax
en- at the request Of the Carpenters
Union and the Painters Union. The
reason assigned is as follows:
Mr.. Johnson has in his employ a
handy man around his garage. He
had this man work for him on his
own home doing shingling and paint
ing. When questioned about the
handy man doing this work, johnson
said that he would stop him. How
ever, when his own home was fin
ished he then worked at the home of
his mother-in-law, so the unions as
sert. The man did the same kind
of work there. The carpenters fined
him $3.50 and the painters 500.
Neither fines we're paid. The Ana
conda unions reported this matter
to the Silver Bow Trades Council.

Word was received from the

in which it was stated that $3.50
was high wages. Secretary Henry
Smith of the union officially in
formed the Montana Labor News
that the high wages were $42.50 and
not $3.50. Increases in wages I'M
der the agreement ran from $3.50 a
week to $40 a week for various types
of workers.
