WEIN5T0NE DESCRIBES
PURPOSES AND AIMS
COMMUNIST PARTY.

Speaking before an audience of
300 people at the old Butte high
school auditorium Tuesday, October
25th, William Weinstone, member of
the national committee of the Com
munist party of the U. S. A., stated
that the issue of the election cam
paign is whether progressives who
advocate the New Deal, social and
economic program, who stand for
democracy, peace and security shall
head the affairs of the United States
or whether power will pass into the
hands of ultra-conservatives and re-
dictionaries who will move this coun-
try on to the road of fascism.
The political representatives of the
big monopolies, bankers, and big
business, said Weinstone, are the
Tory Republicans and their allies,
the anti-New Deal Democrats who
must be defeated if the people are
to obtain jobs, security, and main
tain democracy and peace.
Mr.. Weinstone warned against the
new tricks" of the reactionaries who
seek to disguise their true position
and say that they r for the Objec-
tives of the New Deal but favor diff
ferent methods. A close scrutiny of
the methods they propose shows that
they do not want the New Deal pro-
gram in any form or by any method.
The Wednesday issue of the Mon
tana Standard contained an article
giving a distorted view of Mr.. Vein
stones enthusiastically received adj
dress. Mr.. Weinstone submitted the
following letter to the editor of the
Montana Standard in response to
that article:
William Weinstone,
co Box n, Butte, Mont.
October 26, 1888.
Editor Montana Standard,
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Wednesdays (Oct. 26) issue Of
your paper reports on page IL the
rally of the Communist party held
at the old Butte high school audi
forum Tuesday night and states
that, at this meeting at which l
spoke, I endorsed the candidacy of
Jerry j. O'Connell for Congress and
took a stand against the candidacy
of his opponent, DR.. Thorkelson.
l do not know whether there is
any reason to expect the truth from
your paper, but for the sake of the
record let me say that this report
is manufactured from the whole
cloth as I did not endorse directly
nor by implication O'Connell's can
didacy nor define our attitude to-
ward his opponent.
The position of the Communists
with regard to progressive candi-
dates put forward with the support
of Labor is well known, but this
does not entitle you to report things
I did not say in any manner, shape
or form at this meeting.
Very truly yours,
William W. Weinstone.
A summary of the talk made by
Mr.. Weinstone will be published in
the Montana Labor News in the
near future.

new TYPE WRESTLERS
TO INVADE BUTTE

Believing that the conditions of
Butte are on the upgrade and that
the mat fans will now patronize the
matches, the Pioneer Athletic Club
announced through their match
maker, Abe Elias, that hereafter the
bouts will be held on Monday eve
nings again, beginning Monday, Oct.
31st, and every week thereafter.
They intend to use only the top
notchers in the middle and light
heavyweight division.
The opening card will feature
Dandy Dizzy Davis, better known as
the Houston outlaw, and Bob Cum
mings, former Montana middle
weight champion. Cummings is one
of the most clever grapplers to ever
appear in Montana, while Davis is
one Of the villainous type, and it is
said that he excels anything that is
in the ring today. Dandy has a
marvellous and perfect physique and
no one knows it better than the
Dandy himself.
Dizzy has met and defeated such
notables as Lord Lansdowne, the
English champ, frankie Talber,
Bulldog Jackson and many others.
He holds a decisive win over Bob
Gregory, the European middleweight
champion who is now invading this
country. The bout took place six
months ago in Columbus, Ohio, be-
for a capacity crowd.
The other half of the double main
event features Soldier Thomas and
George Hartay. Soldier Thomas is
one Of the best athletes to have come
out of the United States Army. He
has played football for three years
on the West Coast team. Since
leaving the Army, the soldier has
wrestled all over the U. S. and
Mexico. He is a former light heavy
weight champion of the Army. He
has his own peculiar circular style
of entering combat, which will have
to be seen to be appreciated. Soldier
Thomas is %, single and halls from
Wisconsin,
George Hartay, the Austrian Won
der Boy, was born in Austria and
came to this country IL years ago.
George learned his wrestling in the
school of hard knocks. For the past
four years George has posted $500
several times in order to induce the
present middleweight champion, Gus
Kallio, to engage in battle with him,
but each time the champ evades him,
His unusual tactics have earned him
the title of Wonder Boy. He is %
and single.
The opening bout will be of high
calibre but to be selected from the
crop of boys in the vicinity, namely
King Kong Clayton, Earl Malone,
Rough House Reims, Envy Starr,
Joe Balent, Cyclone Ike, etc,

would appear, however, that if there
is a shortage, it could only possibly
be caused by the almost unbearable
working conditions under which the
miners are asked to work.
The Trades and Labor Council
adopted a resolution which provided
that the plan submitted by Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins for
reconciliation of the American labor
movement be endorsed. Labor or
CARNATIONS in Montana are asked to
adopt the same resolution and to
submit it to their international head
quarters. The resolution is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the convention of the
American Federation of Labor has
just closed without any serious
attempt being made to bring about
peace between it and the CLIO,
And whereas, the CLIO is planning
a convention for November 14th to
set up a permanent federation.
And whereas, if such federation
is set up, it will be impossible to
stop this destructive strife within
the labor movement.
Therefore be it resolved, that the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil endorse the offer made by Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins for
the solution of said split in the labor
movement, and
Be it further resolved, that the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
ell set up a committee of five tC
endeavor to align all the union force:
in the state of Montana behind the
peace move of the Secretary of La
Dor, Perkins, and
Be it further resolved, that a copy
of this resolution be communicated
to each city central body in the
state, to the larger unions not affili.
ated with any central body and t.
the State Federation of Labor anc
the Montana State Industrial Unior
Council, with the request that they
ask their affiliates to endorse anC
concur in the resolution.

ST LOUIS WATER.
 THREAT INVERTED.
Mayor Decides to Pay No
 Attention to Fight of Labor Unions

 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 St. Louis, Dec. 13-(UP)-Threa of a water famine was ave-ted here today when two large pumping plants of the city system resumed operations after having been closed for several hours.
 The city'S four plants were idle during the night as the result of a strike involving 42 engineers and approximately SO apprentice engi- neerS of the International Union of Operating Engineers, an American Federation of Labor afiliate which has been engaged in a factional dis pute with the Standard Firemen, Oilers. and Coal Passers' Union.
 Hairy F. Kline, business manager of the union, ordered the men of the job and later called for 8 one- hour "stop work" demonstration by union men at city hospitals. The or der was rescinded, however, and men at the hospitals did not cease work. The two remaining plants resumed operations at noon, according to Water Commissioner John B. Dean, who supervised re-opening of the Bissell Point station, largest in the city, and the Chain of Rocks sta- tion.
 Mayor Assures Public
 Mayor Bernard F. Dickmann joined Commissioner Dean in assuring St. Louisans that there would be no water shortage.
 'The people of St. Louis can rest assured they will have water regard less of any controversy between JlnionS," Mayor Dicklnann said. "The right of the people to have water is above any dispute between rival unions.
 "This is not a question of wages and hours" the mayor added. T am personally willing to negotiate on any question at issue, but in the meantime I feel it my paramount duty as a public official to insure water for domestic consumption and for fire protection"
 Strikers did not picket the plants.
 Small details of police guarded ChCIl pId1lb ttilc u1OIIIul& UuL 1b was mostly as a precautionary measure rather than because violence was feared, Chief of Police John c. Glassco said.
 The Bissell station, with a capac- ity of 120,000,00 gallons a day, was the first to resume operations. It was opened when 25 policemen mar shaled crew of non-strikers, mem bers of the Stationary Bremen, Oil- CTS and Coal PasSers' Union and led them into the plant where they met no resistance. The city of 900,- 900 normally uses about 100000 900 gallons of water a day.
 Opening of the Bissell plant alone, with the reserve of water, broke the threat of a water shortage. Two houTB later pumps of the Chain of Rocks station, second largest in the city, also was operating.
 The only water available in reser- voirx when the Bissel station started pumping again was approximately 100000 gallons which was not de- pletod seriously as water consump- ton during the part of the night that the pumps were idle, was at a low ebb.

FAITH IN LIBERTY

red. Compared tL most other coun- tries, ours is incomparably affluent and fabulously fortunate. The true measure of what's right with Amer ica is what's wrong with Russia, Germany and Italy, to mention only the conspicuous examples of peoples whose lives are shadowed, whose liberties are crushed and whose fundamental human rights have been Shackled or obliterated in the name of one or other of the total- itarian "isns" and the dictators who personify them.
 National re-dedication asks for a statement on "that aspect of our national life which seems particu- larly satisfying and encouraging for the future" Overwhelmingly, in my judgment, that aspect is the mount ing evidence of Americas purpose that the system of government con- ceived at Philadelphia, born at Yorktown and re-dedicated at Gettysburg shall not perish from the face of the earth. Our reSolu- ton on this cardinal score is mani- fested by the uncompromising hos tility and horror with which this democratic people views the tyranny enthroned in most of Continental Europe. The uniyersality of our re- jection of Communism and Fascism, as doctrines repugnant to the Amer ican spirit, not only clothes our na- tional life with a healthy and hon. orable present, but assures it fu- ture in conSonance with our inerad- icable ideals. That, to me, is the glorious, glittering hall mark of this tempestuous era, so portentous in implication, so rich in hope, as to reduce to inconsequentiality all the excrescenceS that temporarily dis figure the American escutcheon, nu- merous and grave as these are.
 Of hardly less promise for the America of tomorrow is our new concept of social consciousness. Whether the United States is pre- ponderantly New Deal or not may be open to question. What is un- questionable is that the nation has become irrevocably Square, Deal. Whether or not MT. Roosevelt Is re- sponsible for it, there is a new moral climate" abroad in the land "a rugged realization that the un- derprivileged are entitled to more of the sweets of American life than they have had, and that the privi- legged class, to that end, must steel itself to enjoy fewer of them than it has hitherto been accustomed or willing to accept.
 Finally, 1t strikes me as a further guarantee of sound national fu- ture that America is adamant in insistence that, while the forgotten man shall henceforth be remem- bered the task of improving his status shall be undertaken in ac- cord with Constitutional processes, and not by starry-eyed ambitionists and reformerS SO impatient to achieve the millennium that they are ready to purge and regiment on lines utterly alien to the civiliza- tion which Washington founded and Lincoln preserved. With an Amer ican determined to safeguard the bill of rights and ruthlessly to re- sist men and innovations that would transgreSs it, all will continue to be right"

CHORAL SOCIETY
 HEARDLAST NIGHT
Present an Artistic Pros gram Directed By Ken-
 yOn COngdOn

The Waterbury Choral society, di- rected by Kenyon Congdon, pre- Sented their second concert last night at the Waterbury Women's club auditorium. This group was organized last year, and aims to do limited number of finer choral works for mixed voices in a Seri- ouS and artistic fashion. The chorus is composed of singers from this city possessed of a musical ap- preciation and understanding that enable them to interpret songs by variety of composers in musi- cianly manner. MT. Congdon has succeeded in the short time that he has been coaching the Waterbury Choral society in getting nice ef- fleets, such as were realized in last nights concert, the second of the group and the first of this season.
 Assisting last night were Wn- liam Boyd, tenor; Constance Lln- skey, soprano, and Stanley Freed man, well known local pianist, the last presenting two solo groups. An appreciable balance was noted in the blending of the voices of the chorus which will, no doubt. become more finely tempered as the aSso- citation groups and more exten- sive repertoire mastered. But the chorus does some very nice work as was noticeable last night in the Si- belius number, Tschaikowsky, and other choral compositions. They opened with Sweet Maiden" con- | tinuing with "Carol of the Russian Children" Dark the Night" and When Alan-a-dale Went, a-Hunt- ing". Later they sang 70 Mighty Sun," Early One Morning, 70 Sing ing Land," "The Blue Bird" Q, If Mother Volga" and Little Jack Horner." The choral work was sung a capella.
 Stanley Freedman played Chopm's Waltz in A flat major, and compost tions by DebusSy, De Falla, Liszt'S Etude in D flat Major, also Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13.
 The personnel of the chorus fol- lows:
 Sopranos: Arlene Boulder, Mary Bradley, Louise Brown, Marion Brown, Mrs. O. F. Burr, Marguerite Cicchetti, Elizabeth de Courcey, An- gela Dwyer, Elsie Flink, Rose Rarie Gentle, Marguerite Harrigan, Marie Jackson, Anne Lawlor, Constance Linskey, Esther McAllister, Marion Machokas, Mrs. E. D. Marvin, Ev- elyn MoriEe, Lillian Pukukinskas, Lois Parkin, Millicent Sanders, Ann Sirtowt, Marion Slocum, Helen So- kokski and Grace Wearing.

 Whats Right With America?
 By JAMES E. WEST (Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America and Editor of
 Boys Life.)
 So many prophets of doom are pointing to What's Wrong With America" that it seems time for those who understand and there fore love America to raise their voices and tell Whats Right With America" Viewed without partisan emotion our democracy has but two major problems-the indifference and the selfishness of her citizens.
 Ours is a spacious land as com- pared with Europe. We have great natural resources. Great protec- tive oceans wash our friendly shores. We have the greatest con- centration of modern convenienceS and luxuries and the highest stan- dard of living in the world-built up and furthered under individual initiative.
 We have free education, com- pulsory up to middle and upper teens. We encourage the develop ment of personality and seek its orderly expression and perpetua- tion.
 We have a free press, responsible to tell the truth. We have freedom of speech. Our American tradition is that those in governmental posi- tions shall never be guilty of the supreme effrontery of pursuing with tax and other prosecutions those who have spoken out in op- position to the policies in power.
 Our homes are not invaded on fimsy pretextS.
 We have religious freedom. Here, as our forefathers sought, we may still worship God according to the dictates of our consciences, while according to other men the same priceless privileges.
 We are a nation of peace. We have no imperialiStic ambitions. We do not rear our sons to send them forth to kill and enslave other peoples.
 We have democracy under an amendable constitution wherein local government freely exercises powers derived directly from the people and wherein representation is accorded every citizen, with checks and balances to protect us against tyranny and to perpetuate our hard-bought human rights.
 We have a social structure which is not fixed into castes but where opportunity invites youth to do their best toward Self-realization. We have a social structure which our founders reared on homes, on

Supple menting these basic institutions we have leisure time agencies like the one have the honor to rep resent-th Boy Scouts of America which seeks to fortify America by training more than a million boys each year to 'help ether peo- pie" and to become honest, inter- ested, participating citizens. We have a social structure which is open minded which seeks for bet. ter ways within the framework of our American liberties always safeguarding individual liberty in the quest for wider justice. Here the mind, the hand, the heart are free-free to grow Godward.
 Whats right with America? Most everything! Our task is to use these priceless opportunities so that we may leave the world happier and better because of our life in it-so that a progressing civilization may be more secure to our children and our children's children.
