N~on-panisan League

The Silver Bow unit of Labor's
Non-Partisan League held its BIZ
monthly meeting in Judge Downey's
courtroom Friday, April 9th, with
about so delegates present.
The legislative committee submit
ted a list of names for consideration
to the meeting, for the offices of
Legislature, Senator and Supreme
Court judges.
1t was decided 1t this meeting that
the next meeting of Labor's Nom
Partisan League will be held at
Judge Downey's courtroom at the
courthouse Friday evening, April
22nd, when permanent selections for
these various offices would be made.
All labor organizations, individual
members, and other interested par
ties, especially members of the
League, are urged to attend. Letters
have already been sent put asking
delegates to be present. Labor's
Non-Partisan League wants to make
selections of these candidates, so that
the best possible timber may be
made for all offices.
Owing to the fact that Walter Car
rington, the secretary, could not be
present at the meeting, Sam Spiegel
acted as secretary. Mr.. Spiegel was
ordered by the meeting to draft COM
m%unications to all organizations
urging them to send delegates to the
next meeting.

OUT LOUD
columbia Falls Review

Hardly anyone in the country
farmer, urban resident or small bust
ness man-that doesn't realize by
this time that practically all of the
daily newspapers are either owned or
controlled by the big interests. These
interests will go to any length to
keep control of all legislative bodies,
all public officials and the thoughts
of business men in general in order
that they can continue to reap huge
profits.
These newspapers are continually
telling in a sarcastic manner about
laboring men and farmers organizing
SO that they can fight for their rights
in an organized way. They try to
leave the impression that those who
r doing the organizing are nothing
more or less than trouble makers.
They very seldom tell you of their
own methods Of trouble making. You
seldom read about the fellows who
are out trying to organize the bust
ness men in anti-labor clubs with
the sole purpose Of hammering the
farmer down on the returns for his
products and the laborer down in his
efforts to get a living wage so that
he can support his family.
In a good many cases these anti
labor club ASSOCIATED Industry or
ganizers r men who have been
kicked out of the union movement
as traitors to the cause, and we are
always sceptical of a nan who has
been a traitor. We believe that a
mar who will be a traitor to his
fellowmen in one movement is liable
to be the same sort of a skunk in
another movement. He cannot be
trusted.
1t would be a good idea for every
businessman who is approached by
n of these anti-labor organizers to
ask the man where he got his knowl-
edge of unions. If he admits that he
was once a union man, he is a good
fellow to tell that the front door

JOBS MATTER OF RIGHT FOR UNI Dyed
UNIONS ORGANIZING
APA(E IN KALISpELL

KALISPELL.-Organization work
is still progressing in Kalispell in
spite of stubborn opposition on the
part of the organized merchants, who
have engaged the services of Paul
Rooney to assist in their campaign
to instill fear of unions into the
minds of misinformed and "unedu-
Gated" employees and the general
public. Meetings of different
branches of business are being held
almost nightly to harangue the lead
ers of union activity in Kalispell and
to attempt in every possible way to
spread a false impression of the true
economic power of the employers.
A definite attempt is being made
to raise a fund to combat the adj
vance of organized labor, and con-
tributions or pledges of two dollars
monthly, payable six months in adj
vance, are being earnestly solicited
among the smaller business houses
to bolster the main war chest, which
shows every evidence of being
backed by two or three of the larger
firms.
Spokesman for this group of Kali
ispell business men have voiced di-
rect threats against union men and
employers of union men, according
to witnesses attending some of their
meetings, and if this state of affairs
continues, there is reason to believe
that some educating in the laws of
the land may be necessary.
A striking comparison of tech
nique in organization activity is
noticeable in that all union enter
prise is in the open in every way
and merits notice in the public press,
while that of the business men is
behind closed doors and never a line
in the news SC far! The leaders of
union activity in K~alispell have new
er been approached in any manner
by those who preach the gospel of
fear of violence, and, to reciprocate,
it is the policy of the labor move
ment to have no dealings with the
merchants hired set of brains"
True home folks, sincere in their be-
liefs, should be able to settle their
differences among themselves!

Bill Dunn Gives Views
OF Labor Movement

William Dunn of Butte and Bruce
Steinmetz of Great Falls were visi-
tors at the Trades and Labor Council
last Tuesday. Dunn was asked by
Chairman Davis to make a talk. MI.
Dunn deplored the friction existing
between the Butchers and Teamsters
organizations but expressed the opin-
ion that inasmuch as the Trades and
Labor Council generally represented
the organized labor movement of
Silver Bow County, the attitude of
the Transfers organization in OPP
posing them was unjustifiable. He
then rebuked certain individuals for
attempting to set their personal am
billions above the unity of the labor
movement. He then described how
his W brothers in attempting to
expand the teamsters organization,
had forgotten the prime purpose of
unionism to seek the welfare of all
the people and not to enhance the
prestige of one organization or of
one individual MOI to foster the am
billions of that person. Mr.. Dunn
gave an illustration how unionism
could be made into a racket and
gave as an illustration the attempts
of the Transfers to secure the brew
cry drivers. He described how de-
livery of beer, ETC., to saloons and
other places could easily be made
into a means of shaking down the
underworld. He said that the time
has come in Butte and elsewhere to
talk sharply and firmly to men seek
ing their own personal aggrandize-
ment at the expense of the labor
movement, and that we should try
to stop one person or another at
tempting to terrorize the labor
movement of Silver Bow County.
In concluding his remarks, Mr..
Dunn praised the meeting held in
Great Falls on April 3rd at which
80 delegates were present, repre-
senting nearly that number of farm
and local trade unions. He said that
this conference arrived at decisions,
and a program representing the best
interests of the state. Elsewhere in
this paper is quite a thorough re-
port of this meeting. Mr.. Dunn
recommended to the Trades and La
Dor Council and to the union dele
gates present that the labor move
ment of Silver Bow County elect as
many delegates to the meeting of

circles here yesterday that a
brother, a sister and friend of
ten-year-old Charles MattsoH had
seen Peter Anders, confessed Rid
nap-slayer of Charles Ross and
had said Anders was not the man
who kidnapped and later killed the
boy i year ago.
The report was entirely with

The report was that the two
MatteSon children, William and
Muriel, and Virginia Chatfield,
were brought here Monday by
plane from Tacoma and were TAX
en- before Andcrs, who repeatedly
had been flown here from Los
Angeles, where he was arrested.
The three children were in the
Mattson home Dec. 27, 1886,

away. The boys body was found
DAYS later after failure of efforts
to pay the ransom demanded.
