his blood had the exactly right

HIS RIB TO BE NOSE
"What are you going to do with
the rib. Doc?" Dan was curious.
I'm going to build it into a

informed him carelessly. "She lost
part Of hers in an auto SmaSh-up.
And, if it's all the same to you,
I'd like to operate at o'clock this
afternoon. Why don't you stay
here and lunch with us? Then
you'll be right here and I'll have
nothing to worry about"
Dan ate delicately and lightly,
although he could have eaten one
of the dishes, if it had gravy on it.
Two hours later, he climbed into
bed. An hour after that, he was
into an operating room.
1t was already occupied by three
nurses, two doctors and a lady

No policeman stands in front OF
the giant SkyScraper, wherein The
Grafters, Inc, are housed to grab
q handful of bananas from pass

Inc, is not at all what it sounds
like or what you think it is.
BORN IN WORLD WAR
No. No. On the contrary.
Grafters, Inc, is almost an elee-
mosynary institution. Not wholly.
1t spreads charity and sweetness
and light but for consideration,
as much consideration as the
seeker of charity and sweetness
and light is able to pay, as is the
custom OF the medical profession
regardless of the medium in which
it works.
Yes, Grafters, Inc, is part of
the medical profession and a very
important part, too.
Up to the World War, when the
thousands and thousands of mu
tilated wounded brought a crying
need for an art which would
restore features of the face and
bits of the body that had been
blown away by dynamite, TINT
and shrapnel, Grafters, Inc, could
not have existed.
But today, it does exist and it
does a tremendous amount of
good, physically, as you would eX-
pect, but, more important men,
tally and psychologically as well.
In other words, it is a human
repair shop where the faces of the

feature from the countenance may
be remedied by replacing it by
quite a different part of the body
of some volunteer for a considera-
tion. In other words, Grafters,
Inc, is a human service station.
You will now meet Daniel
Martin O'Keefe, an artist who was
practically the sole posSessor Of
the knowledge that in his medium,
swinging a brush against a canvas
to make burgeoning gardens, beau
tiful women and hairy-chested
men grow upon it, he was very
good indeed. He didn't look like
a stage version of ap artist. He
looked like a real one.
OKEEFE'S NEW PICTURE
Daniel Martin OKeefe WASH t
o particularly striking figure. He
was little above middle height.
He had d wide low forehead, gray
eyes, a nose that had been de-
toured little by a sock in early
youth and a good humored mouth.
He woke up one morning, lit
tie unwillingly because ne had be-
come slightly averse to starting
another tough day. He lay there
and looked up at the diScolored
ceiling. He didn't see any inspira-
tion there, only stains and he
turned on his side and looked
other places.
The room cost him SO a week
when he had SO a week, which
was two weeks ago. It had a
slightly bent dresser in it and a
Squeaking chair and a bed table.
A suitcase and several canvasses
completed the filters of it and in
the whole lot there wasn't a dimes
worth of hope.
That picture he had finished last
night of a beautiful girl on the
deck of a Bermuda bound liner
was pretty enough but he would
bet dollar-if he had dollar
that with his luck, he'd never sell
1t to the advertising agency which
nad CoId MIN TO palnC II on Specu-
lation.
All right, it would be a bust.
And he would leave the advertis-
ing agency with exactly II cents
in his pocket. That II cents was
all he had IN the world and he
couldn't see a way of getting any
more to put along side it to buy
O meal. And he did want meal.

He spent a nickel of his precious
eleven cents for subway fare and
then he took an elevator to the
sixteenth floor of a skyscraper in
the middle Forties and there he
was.
There was a nice looking girl
with sharp eyes at the reception
desk and when he told her he was
there to sell any part of him, she
sent him through to confront a
bearded doctor. The doctor looked
him over carefully, as a buyer
studies a steer.

Coop Hospitals Being Established

Death rates among workers who receive
less than $1,000 a year is twice that of the
rest of the population, according to a study
by Miss Josephine Roche of Colorado who
heads the United States Public Health
Service.
In 80 per cent of serious illness among re-
lief families, no physicians care is received,
the report shows, while in % per cent of
such illnesses in families just above the re-
lief level, no physicians care is received.
Further statistics show that the babies of
the poor die at a rate Of five times higher
than the babies of the moderately well-to-do.
On the whole, the report summarizes, medi-
cal care decreases sharply as the need for
it increases.
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins in
another study on health found that the high
mortality rate among babies, t~otaling more
than 100000 each year, can be blamed direct
ly on poverty. One-half of the babies born
into the U. S, each year are born into fami-
lies of the depressed one-third of the nation.
Poverty, he said, also is the sole cause why
a large percentage of the children who sur
vive are permanently crippled by disease
ana unQeTnOuTlSIn1enC Also, Cne mortality
among women in childbirth is higher in this
country than in any of the leading 25 nations
of the world, excepting only Chile and
Lithuania.
Figures cited by Hopkins were gathered
by the children's department Of the U. S.
Department Of Labor,
In Milwaukee, labor unions have taken
the matter of health of their members into

Capitalized at $4,000, the new hospital

undertaken to r~etaliate against the Milwau-
kee chapter of the American Medical Asso-
citation, which expelled five local physicians
for providing group medical service. Acting
on instructions of the A. M. A., local hospi-
tails refused to accept patients from the
busted doctors.

Unfair Magazines Lose Advertising

Evidence that organized boycotting of
non-union products is effective is shown by
a recent study of magazines, which have
Montana labor news., 1938-12-29

~printing-trades unions.
Based on a survey by the Standard Stats
tics Company, the study shows that adver-
Using lineage of the n%on-union publications
was as much as so per cent off for the first
eight months of the year.
The unfair magazines are listed as the
Curtis Group, which includes Saturday Foe
ming Post, Ladies Home Journal, and Coun-
try Gentleman, and Life and Time. The
latter two are printed by the R R. Donnelley
& Sons Company, in Chicago, the largest
%non-union plant in the country.
For the eight months period Time suffered
a loss of 30 per cent in advertising, while
Life, the picture magazine, dropped So per
cent in advertising. For the Curtis publica-
tons gross revenues were down 81 per cent
this year as compared to the 1929 level. Net
earnings last year were $4,120,5G9, as COM
pared to 81, 128, 482 for the first nine months
of this year.
While Standard Statistics blames the
business depression" for the declining reve-
nues, p%rinting-trades labor officials point to
the nationwide protests of organized labor
against publications which consistently re-
fuse to establish %union-shop working condi-
lions in their plants.

Upgrade school system in Texas gained
momentum last week at the annual conven-
ton of the Texas State Teachers Association.
The association asked the State Board of
Education to decide upon a policy relative to
the number of grades which should be taught
in public schools, pointing out the need for
removing the irregularity between schools
operating under ar Upgrade and Upgrade
system. Many Of the teachers favor the

GOVERNOR BREAKS
PROMISE TO FREE
S(0TT5B0R0 BOYS

NEW YORK. - (FP) - Gov. Bib
Graves of Alabama broke his prom
Use to free the four Scottsboro boys
remaining in Jail, the governor was
told in a letter from DR.. Allan
Knight Chalmers, chairman of the
national Scottsboro Defense Com
mittee.
For the first time it was revealed
that Graves had pledged himself to
free the famous prisoners last Oct.
81, after delaying the date a week
from a previously agreed upon time.
The committee had booked train
reservations and arranged for the
Negro youths to find jobs in north
ern cities.
Then, two days before the four
prisoners were to be released on
parole, Graves t~elegraphed that he
must postpone action. All efforts
to get an explanation have been
futile. It is known, however, that
former Sen. Thomas Helm, we'll
known as a reactionary, brought
heavy pressure to bear on the gov
ernor.
Graves made his pledge on Dec.
81, 1887, to DR.. Henry D. Edmonds,
Birmingham minister; Grover Hall,
editor of The Montgomery (Ala.)
Advertiser; and Chalmers, who is
minister of the Broadway Taber-
nacle church in New York. At that
time Graves admitted that the state
of Alabama was in an "untenable"
position because four of the defend
ants had been freed in July 1887 and
all had been convicted on identical
evidence. He said that half fish
and half fowl was not reasonable
and my mind is clear on the action
required to remedy this impossible
position"
Graves asked, however, that the
pardon action be delayed until the
formalities before the pardon board
were completed. To this the com-
mittee agreed.
THAT you should now withdraw
from your decision, under which you
have knowingly allowed us to act
for a period of a year, is such a
betrayal of all honor and decency
that it has shocked men of high
standing who are acquainted with
the facts" Chalmers told the gov
ernor.
Graves goes out of office Jan. l..
Governor-elect Dixon, who was sup
ported in his campaign by The
Montgomery Advertiser, is expected
to give more sympathetic %considera-
ton to the pardon applications.
The four youths who were to
have been freed are Haywood Pat
terson, Charlie Weems, Andy Wright
and Clarence Norris. Ozie Powell,
the last defendant, is serving a
sentence for attacking a sheriff and
the governor felt action in his case
should be deferred.

Workers Want Shorter, Not
Longer Hours

After spending some days talking to the
men on the hill regarding the Companys
reply to the unions request for a %seven-hour
day with no reduction in pay, it is our
opinion that the company's offer OF an
alleged Is per cent increase in wages, is not
finding much favor. On examination, this
rs per cent, considering that the worker will
have to work eight hours more for it, turns
out to be a measly 5 per cent.
The long and short of it is that the workers
are asked to sell the wages and hour bill,
which was enacted through years of per-
sistent effort on the part of organized labor,
for the paltry sum of $1.31 per week. 1t
appears to us that this proposal of the
A. C. M. Co. to return to the 48-hour week,
is a part of the nationwide drive of big bust
ness to discredit the New Deal Administra-
ton and to nullify the gains made by labor
in recent years. 1t should be apparent to
all workers that the only solution under
Capitalism of the present widespread mass
unemployment is immediate substantial. re-
duction in working hours and increase in
wages. In nc other way can the purchasing
power of the masses be raised so that they
can purchase the products of their own toll
and thus restore prosperity to the nation.
The proposal Of the company, to INCREASE
THE WEEKLY HOURS, will have just the
opposite affect. The present arrangement
of 40 hours per week ever with the distaste-
full "stagger" system, is preferable to the
arrangement offered by the company for the
reason that under it we have gained a sub
stantial reduction in hours which has mar
rowed down the first battle for increased
wages, while if we accept this proposal of
the company and hog-tie ourselves for an
other two years by extending the agreement
for that period, we shall find ourselves in
the position of having to fight for both in
creased wages and reduced hours.
There is a story in the Scriptures of a
renowned hunter by the name of Essau sell
ing his birthright to his brother Jacob, a
sheep and cattle raiser, for a mess of pottage.
This proposal of the company is in effect an
offer to buy the workers birthright for $1.31
per week which is considerably less than
Judas I~scariot was willing to sell himself for.
We are acutely aware that this a~lluring
bait of the company, $685. a week, will seem
extremely desirable to the worker struggling
to make both ends meet on the pitiful stipend
of $685. per week. Our awareness is the
result of bitter personal experience but we
would rather struggle along for a while and
maintain what we have gained in the matter
of reduced hours, and when the appropriate
time comes, make a fight for increased wages.
We feel that the acceptance of the Com
pany's offer will be a definite step backward
and we hope our fellow workers will see it
in this light. Let us not act the part of Esau
and sell our ~birthright for a mess of pottage.

Show Interest In
Crop Insurance

Many farmers of Big Horn
county are showing interest in
the crop insurance plan offered
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, according to R.
G. Riley, Big Horn county crop
insurance supervisor.
A number of the farmers have
already signed up and others
are expected to make applica-
ton for insurance before seed
ing winter wheat.
In a recent telegram received
from E. K. Bowman, state crop
insurance supervisor, it was re-
vealed that the final date for
the filing of applications for
crop insurance has been extern
ded until November 80, provid-
ed the applicant will agree to
re-seed to spring wheat where
winter wheat ails in the spring
of 1889.
Farmers are urged to study
the crop insurance program and
to file their applications with
the county committee of the
Agricultural Conservation Asso-
citation within the next few
days.
