Open FORUM
Proposes Statewide
Political Meeting
Musselshell.

MuSSelShell.
Montana Labor News:
The Farmer-Labor party of Mon
tana is sponsoring a conference for
progressive political action, for
which I expect to issue a call within
the next two weeks, as soon as a
definite date has been decided upon.
Indications now point to the date
as between May 1st and 10th and
the place Helena.
Purpose of the conference is to
get all progressive thinkers together
by representative groups to discuss
progressive political action for 1888,
find a common ground upon which
we can agree, unite upon a program
for such action and devise the best
method of carrying this program
through to successful completion.
While the conference is sponsored
by the Farmer-Labor party of Mon
tana it will in no sense be confined
to strictly party membership. We
desire to unite all progressive think
ers of the state behind a program of
| political action upon which we can
all agree and such a program can
only be formulated at such a con-
ference where all progressive groups
can be fairly represented and at
which full and free or open discus
sion may take place. At such a
conference we naturally expect that
there will be some dissention and
we hope that by discussion and COM
promise we may arrive at a decision
upon a definite program which,
while it may not fulfill the entire
wishes of all groups represented
may nevertheless SO nearly meet the
approval of all that all p~rogressives
in the state will align themselves
with it.
I hope that in addition to the rep
resentatives of labor groups (botf
A. F. L. and C. I. o. affiliates) anc
farmer organizations, to have repre-
~sentatives from Labor's N. P. L.
Workers Alliance, unemployed or
CARNATIONS and small business anC
professional classes. Considerable
interest is already being displayet
by this middle class" group and
feel that many of them are read,
{ to play ball.
I would like to address persona
{ invitations to the labor organiza
tons and progressive thinkers ant
lest some may be unintentionall,
overlooked l will send a copy of tn
+ call to the Labor News SO that n
: progressive group Or organizatiot
. need feel that it was INTENTIONAL
S sighted.

METCALF DEFENDS
ALLIANCE MEMBERS

Lee Metcalf, assistant attorney
general, was the principal speaker
at a mass meeting held in Helena,
March 6, at the courthouse, support
ing the five leaders of the Workers
Alliance who are being prosecuted
in Cascade County on charges of
grand larceny, for issuing commodi-
ty clothing.
According to Metcalf, the incident
of December II, where commodities
were issued by the Workers Ali
ance to those in need, is part of the
American way of holding human
rights prior to property rights and
has a place in u tradition which
includes the Boston Tea Party,
Harper's Ferry and other incidents
where Americans fought for free
dom.
Noble Burton, of the Lewis and
Clark Trades and Labor Assembly,
Raymond Gray of the Teamsters,
and Henry Murray, state organizer
of the Workers Alliance, also spoke
in support of the Great Falls relief
defendants. Elmer Fredrickson,
state vice-chairman of the Alliance
from Butte, was chairman. A col
lection for the defense fund was
taken.
Organizations wishing to con-
tribute to the defense fund should
send them to E. J.. Peterson, state
secretary-treasurer of the Montana
Workers Alliance, 405 Tenth Street
