adopted a comprehensive program of legisla-
ton covering wages and hours, social securi-
ty, unemployment relief and much else.
To secure the enactment of such a program,
organized political action by the labor and
progressive forces becomes another important
goal Of a modern labor movement.
Finally, the CIO as representative of mil
lions of American working people and their
families cannot be Indifferent to any issues
of national concern which vitality concern its
members as citizens.
The CLIO therefore has taken its stand on
issues Of war and peace, defense of demo-
cracy against Fascism, and on all the other
matters on which it is important that the
voice of organized labor be heard in the
councils of the nation.
The program which the CLIO will now set
out to achieve is indeed far-reaching in its
implications. 1t is constructive social pro-
gram that promises the greatest benefits not
only for labor but for the whole country.
But the basic and first essential for this
whole program is union organization and
more of it. This is where the CIO will place
its chief emphasis in the days to come, know
ing that only through organization will labor
have the power to achieve all the other bless
ings which its program contemplates.-The

I would like to read you a remarkable
passage from an editorial in a magazine: eff

that private enterprise must admit into its
affairs a government profoundly concerned
with the successful operation of the economic
system. It should in the future be the object
of Business not to obstruct Government inter
vention at any cost, but to see to it that the
intervening Government is enlightened in
economic matters"
This did not appear in an obscure radical
pamphlet, but in one of the most luxurious

I can say from personal knowledge that
the Government is not, and never has been
opposed to business. It has no desire what
ever to harass or punish business. 1t fully
realizes that business must succeed, and must
be able to work with government if our
economic system is to be preserved. It seeks
an understanding and a meeting of minds,
not only as to present points of conflict but
as to methods which will assure for the flu
ture, on the one hand, justice and fair dealing
to all the people, and IN the other, the con-
fdence, success, and legitimate profits of
legitimate business enterprise. It has no
quarrel with business merely because it is
big; but big or little, 1.-THE Government

PITTSBURGH, Pain the excite
ment of the first convention of the
Congress of Industrial Organizations,
the adoption of a constitution and
the election of its first regularly
constituted officers, here November
l4-l8, the press in general over
looked a resolution on Consumer
Cooperatives approved by the con-
vention which may play an import
ant role in bringing together farm,
labor and consumer groups.
The delegates to the CLIO conven-
ton pointed to the necessity of
keeping prices down in order to pro-
tect the buying power of increased
wages and instructed the executive
board of the CLIO to investigate the
possibilities of consumer organiza-
ton through c%ooperatives and take
appropriate action.
The text of the resolution as
adopted unanimously by the conven-
ton is as follows.
WHEREAS; "a Increased pur-
chasing power in the hands of the
great masses of the workers of the
country is essential to a renewed and
consistent prosperity;
(2) If wage increases obtained by
union action are to result in perma-
nent expansion of consuming power,

vent rising prices from absorbing the
gains which are made; and

quate system of consumers coopera-
tives may be an effective weapon.

Minnesota; also the same concern

times under the prices made domestic

Unfair competition destroys coal
markets. The coal industry can pro-
vide jobs only to the extent coal
markets are available. The above
and similar practices by the gas com
panies have made, and are making,
shambles of the coal industry, the
basic industry upon which the well
fare of Montana citizens and Mon
tana in its entirety is highly depend
ent. While the stock of this company
has been extensively sold to the
public, according to advices, it has
never paid a single dividend to its
stockholders. 1t might be significant
it has seen fit, in times past, to
change its corporate name.
To what end, therefore, the efforts
to disorganize, to destroy? What
advantages have accrued, or will
accrue, to Montana? All claims of
the most enthusiastic gas statesmen
to the contrary, would not Montana's
interests be advanced by efforts of
all Montana's people to further its
own industries? No suggestions are
advanced how this gas company, in
absorbing Montana's coal markets,
will provide for the thousands de-
pendent upon the coal industry for
a livelihood. This gas outfit will not
provide for them-probably does not
care what happens to them. The
government and the public generally
will, of course, provide for the men
and their families whose jobs have
been and will be destroyed by its
exploitation.

There was much cause for congratulatlon
at the Pittsburgh convention Of the Clio.
The achievements recorded in the various
reports were magnificent. In three years
a new labor movement had come into being,
with organizing successes and benefits won
for its members.
All this progress was summarized at the
convention and the structure of the new
movement was given permanent form.
But more important than all the justified
congratulations over past successes were the
plans which the Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS laid for the future.
The CIO has forged a new fundamentally
for American labor, and the Pittsburgh con-
vention devoted itself chiefly to preparations
for making effective use of this instru-
mentality.
Four million workers have been organized
in the CLIO in the country's basic industries,
but many millions more still lack the benefits
of collective bargaining.
The CLIO has set itself the task of organizing
these new millions. A Joint organizing cam
paign in the South will be one of its first
undertakings, and once business turns up

than has ever been heard of.
The convention set labor unity as its goal.
Industrial organization is the method of the
CIO for uniting the ~unorganized, but its job
will not be completed until all American
workers are united and organized in a unified
labor movement.
But organization is a means to an end,
rather than an end in itself.
The CLIO convention democratically adopt
ed a program Of detectives which the move
ment will set out to achieve with the organ
lied strength now at its disposal, and with
the added power which it expects to gain
through the further extension of organization.
Higher wages, shorter hours and better
working conditions are matters of first con-
sideration.
But to achieve these aims industrial demo-
cracy is necessary. The right to organize
and bargain collectively must be preserved.
And in fighting for and exercising this right,
labor seeks freedom from wage-slavery and
the democratic status of free citizens of
industry.
In our complex industrial system, however,
union organization is not enough by itself.
Legislation was needed to establish the right
to organize in the first place, and labor must
look to further legislation to aid the unions
in winning greater security and better con-
ditions.
The CLIO therefore not only seeks to defend
the Wagner labor relations act, but has also

SEEK TO IMPORT GAS

in Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming, has filed an
application to import gas into the
United States. Gas to be exported

why not also import gas? The public,

CITIZENS OF FLATHEAD|
COUNTY GET A BETTER
UNION CONCEPTION


The Associated Industries" seems
to be rapidly changing as it becomes
more obvious to the general public
and the business men that the labor
unions of Kalispell are not a bunch
of 'rabble rousers" and trouble
makers, but ordinary working men
endeavoring to improve themselves
and extend a helping hand to their
less fortunate fellow workers. Larry
Devlin, the Associated Industries
secretary, is reported to be having
difficulties with the law and with
making collections enough to pay
his salary.
A charter for a local union of
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
has been granted to Kalispell and
Whitefish. This group promises to
be a potent element in proving to
the retail clerks and other timid
ones that the 'Devlin" really won't
get you if you join a union. There
is reason to believe that the clerks
are coming to life and will be a
determined group of fighters when
they settle down. Lack of encour-
agement has held them back.
The new Carpenters hall will
soon be completed and dedication
ceremonies are being planned as a
combined Christmas party and first
anniversary celebration of the char
tering of the Kalispell Central Trades
and Labor Council, The definite
date has not been decided, but the
program will probably be arranged
for Friday evening, December %.
Detailed plans will be announced as
soon as possible and it is hoped that
the invitation to members of or
ganized labor throughout the state
to attend will be accepted by many
who have watched with interest the
great progress in organization made
in Kalispell and Flathead county
during the past year.
Going rapidly ahead through adj
verse weather conditions, the new
hall is now accommodating union
meetings while the finishing work
is being completed on the interior.
It will not be possible to apply the
finish coat of stucco until spring
but a fortunate moderation in the
weather made it possible for plaster
ers to work last week and the eX-
terror is in adequate ~serviceable
condition.
The interior of the building is
finished in celotex, the main hall
being 40x60 feet, with three smaller
halls and lobby providing other
meeting places and office space. The
basement, also 40x60, will provide
adequate accommodations for ban
quets and parties, being equipped
with a kitchen and other necessary
fixtures and furniture. The air
conditioning heating plant is now
being installed.
The labor movement in Kalispell
is fortunate in having a progressive
carpenters union and Local oil is
to be commended for their faith in
the many new unions to whom they
will look for support in making their
investment a success. Present Off
GERS of Carpenters Local Union Oil
of Kalispell are George Hedger,
president; o. S. Richardson, secre-
tary, and James L. Wheeler, bust
ness agent. F. M. Parr, a member
of the local for many years and
delegate to the Central Labor Coun-
Gil, will be custodian of the new
building.
