AND AVOID PAY CUTS,
SAYS

CHICAG Q. - (FP) - Railroad
workers should not be asked to take
pay cuts to offset the wrongdoing
of bankers, Chairman George M.
Harrison of the Railway Labor Exec
utives Assn. declared here at a meet
ing of the carriers joint conference
committee to discuss wage cuts.
Fighting against the proposed 10 per
cent railway pay slashes for $4,000
workers, Harrison urged railway
management, labor, investors and
shippers to meet and frame a bill
providing for railroad r%eorganiza-
ton.
To rehabilitate the railroads, Har-
rison said, watered stock, which he
explained was overvalued stock
issued against railroad property,
would have to be taken out of the
railroad capitalization. Railroad and
truck operations should be CO.
ordinated to do away with the
present unbridled competition be-
tween them.
Carriers Committee Chairman H.
A. Enochs repeated that it is likely
that a federal mediator will have to
be called to take part in the pro-
ceedings.

LEAGUE HEAD A
DIES COMMITTEE

NEW YORK-The following state
ment was made yesterday by the
Reverend William B. Spofford, act
ing national chairman of the Ameri-
can League for Peace and Demo-
cracy:
The absurd antics of the Dies com
mittee in taking unsupported and
fantastic testimony from witnesses
who would themselves make excel
lent subjects for investigation, and
in offering sweeping characterize
tons of progressive organizations as
red" or "Communist-dominated .
constitute a grave menace to demo-
cracy, the basis of the Americanism
which the committee is supposed to
be protecting.
While Nazi organizations are re-
ceiving only the scantiest attention
from the Dies New Deal-smearing
outfit, while Nazi sympathizers are
on the witness stand to air their
opinions without offering genuine
evidence, progressive organizations
are Jumped and labelled as agencies
of the mysterious Communist front"

FARMERS AND UNIONS
HOLD JOINT PICNIC

HAMILTON, Montana-Approxi-
mately 300 farmers and Townsend
ties enjoyed an outing staged by the
Farmers Unions and Townsend Clubs
at Tucker Grove, near Victor, Sun
day, August 18th, at which luncheon
and other refreshments were served.
Left Erickson, candidate for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
made an impressive address and
stressed the need for more coopera-
ton between the farmers and trade
u~nionists and discussed mutual prob
lens. Erickson is a member of the
Farmers Union and has been brought
up in the movement. He is thor
oughly c%onversant with it. The labor
movement is urging the farmers to
p%atronize union label goods and the
farmers ask members Of organized
labor to buy commodities marked
with the label of the Farmers Union.
Other speakers included an officer
of Deer Lodge unions and a promi-
nent attorney from Hamilton,
The people of the Bitter Root Val
ley deserve a compliment for their
aggressive and forward looking
plans to establish labor and farm
unions.

ment of America.
A lively, f~orceful and capable
speaker, Mr.. Weinstone is able to
discuss authoritatively and popularity
the stirring issues facing the Ameri-
can people today.
Time and place of the meeting are
to be announced later.

|EDW. 0'BYRNE FILES
CHARGES FOR ALLEGED
SIR. LAW VIOLATION

Butte unions were pleased to have
Edward O'Byrne, state labor COM
missioner, as a guest during the
week. Mr.. O'Byrne expressed graft
fication over the work being per-
formed by his department and ap-
peared optimistic, that the mer-
chants and employers including the
corporations who do not now seem
to understand what the intention of
the laws are, will give their hearty
cooperation when they do get an
adequate idea of the efforts being
put forth by the Division of Labor.
1t is significant to note that many
places throughout the state of Mon
tana have never had a charge filed
against them for violation of any of
the state labor laws.
Mr.. O'Byrne informed the unions
that on a recent trip made both to
the northeast and southern coun-
ties of the state, he found a more
general compliance with the 8-hour
laws in the smaller towns than in
some of the larger towns. He finds
in these smaller towns, generally
speaking, the female 8-hour law is
being pretty well observed. How
ever, he has found it necessary to
file cases for violation of several g.
hour laws at Kalispell, Missoula,
Butte, Lewistown, Helena and Havre.
In these towns the Associated In
dustries seem to shed a baleful in
fluence upon the membership of its
organizations. In most of these places
the doctrine is being preached that
business men must not recognize the
unions to the extent of making writ
ten contracts or agreements with
them. In the city of Kalispell this
influence is particularly conspicuous,
The secretary Of the Associated In
dustries at that place is very antago-
nistic to union organizations and is
endeavoring to sell his ideas to the
merchants in that city at the rate of
So per month per merchant.
The cases in Butte involve an
alleged infraction of the 8-hour law
relating to a transportation com
pany. O'Byrne stated that in the
city of Bozeman he Investigated a
contractor working on the city
streets for more than IS hours a day.
The other cases filed were of a more
or less fragrant nature.

Presidents Opposition
To Economic Royalisis

The President, in his speech to
Congress on monopolies, in April,
quoted a study of the National Re-
sources Committee showing that in
1885 to SO:
"Forty-seven per cent of all Amer
lean families and single individuals
living alone had incomes of less than
S 1000 for the year; and at the other
end of the ladder a little less than
~ per cent of the Nations families
received incomes which in dollars
and cents reached the same total as
the incomes of the At per cent at the
bottom"
The Presidents program of taxing
undistributed SURPRISES, particularly
of corporations with large earnings
is admirable, but would tend to in
crease the wealth of most well-to-do
people-UNLESS normal tax rates
and surtax rates on brackets from
81 5000 or $4,000 to about 100000 are
increased heavily-which the Presi-
dent did not ask.
AS the New Republic points out in
an editorial duly 1877:
'The Treasury statement shows
that income taxes, which are dis
tributed according to ability to pay
accounted Tin 1887 for only about
three-sevenths of the total receipts,
while indirect taxes, which raise
costs, tend to depress business and
are inequitably distributed, account
ed for the rest"
DR.. Harold M. Groves of Wisconsin
University in an article in this issue
states:
within the ranges of income re-
ceived by SO per cent of the tax
payers, and including more than 80
per cent of the income, the British
taxes are substantially higher Ethan
ours).
"The British tax on a married man
with no dependents, all income
earned, is roughly thirty times as
high as our federal tax if his income
is $4,000, and eight times, four times,
two times and half as high again, re-
spectively, if the income is $4,000,
$4,000, $4,000 and 100000"
eff the income tax in this country
were to take the same proportion of
the national income as in Great Bri-
tain, it would yield well over twice
as much as it now does"
This-despite the fact Prof. Groves
cites, the effective rate of the British
tax on an income of $4,000, 900 is
about 81 per cent, compared with
our rs per cent"
The President did not oppose the
trust breeding price hi-jacking Rob
inson- Patman and Tydings-Miller
bills to permit price fixing, and his
Sun James actively campaigned for
the latter.

Cooperative Printing
Company Has Very
Romantic Beginning

It would not require a great
stretch of the imagination to have
the Cooperative Publishing Com
pany and its ramifications some day
listed under Riplye's Strange AS It
Seems" This cooperative newspaper
has had quite a struggle from its
inception but the men behind it are
determined to accomplish their pur-
pose. Enough stock has been sold
to buy the ground and start con-
struction on a building in Helena
and also to purchase the necessary
printing equipment.
A romantic story emanates from
the operations Of the corporation,
commencing with the effort to estab-
fish sanitary sewer connections with
the building. Owing to the distance
from the plant to the sewer connec-
tons, it was decided to install a
septic tank. While men were at
work on this endeavor, they struck
a lead of ore containing gold, silver,
and lead. The vein looks promising
and a claim has been recorded in the
office of Clerk at Lewis and Clark
County.
1t is sincerely hoped that this is
one instance where the location OF
mineral wealth will not 60 into the
hands Of the private corporations for
profit but to a cooperative enter
prise designed to protect and pro-
mote the interests of the working
people and farmers.

Travellers Return From
National Convention

Lena Mattausch, Bridget Shea and
Mary Seymour, delegates of the
Women's Protective Union who at
tended the convention of the Inter
national Union of Hotel and Restau-
rant Employees at San Francisco,
returned with glowing accounts of
the accomplishments of the meeting.
One of the noteworthy actions
taken by the convention was the
adoption of a resolution approving
Referendum 40. This referendum
provides for the legalized sale at
retail of liquor in the state of Mon
tana. If the people vote for it, it
will mean a continuation of the prac-
tice as it exists at present, otherwise
the retail saloon will pass out of the
picture and the people will be COM
PEELED to buy liquor at the liquor
stores operated by the state. The
women also stated the convention
went on record authorizing expendi-
ture of an amount of money to notify
all unions of Montana to support the
bartenders, cooks and walters and
the Women's Protective Unions in
their efforts to pass the measure
The passage of this bill actually
means the continued employment of
thousands of people. 1t also means
that money now going into the
treasury to support the teachers pen
sion fund will be kept up; that
money being used for conservation
work will be continued.
The Butte Cooks and Walters
Union was represented at the con-
vention by James Thane.
In order that the people may
know, there are three unions in Sill
yer Bow County affiliated with the
International Union of Hotel and
Restaurant Employees, namely, the
Women's Protective Union, of which
there is not a similar organization
in the United States, then there is
the Cooks and Walters Union of
which Mr.. James Thane is business
agent, and the bartenders' organiza-
ton employing Sam Gwinn to look
after their affairs. These three unions
belong to this international organi-
cation but they have separate auton-
omy. The three organizations EN-
brace about 1000 members in Butte.

Money Available
Now For Farmers
master" Loans Explained By
County FSA Supervisor,
Bryan Oliver.

The Farm Security Admisistra-
ton now has money in hand to
lend to enable small groups of far
mers to buy or secure the use of
heavy arm equipment, purebred
sires and other such services which
will help them to do better farm
ing but which a farmer cannot af-
ford to buy solely for his own use.
A statement to this effect was is
sued by w. Bryan Oliver, County
Supervisor of the FSA from his Of
flee at West Jefferson. Mr.. Oliver
has charge of the Farm Security
work in Ashe, Allegheny and Will
kes counties.
Work of County Supervisors in
cludes help in adjusting farmers
debts, making of supervised reha-
Utilization loans to individual far
mers for purchase of seed, fertiliz-
er, livestock and needed farm
tools, and the making of these
group loans referred to above. In
addition, they handle the tenant
land purchase program in coun-
ties selected to receive tenant
loans and Wilkes is the only
county in this section that has been
selected so far.
Mr.. divers said while loans made
for the use Of a group of farmers,
these group or service loans usual
: ly are made to one individual far
mer in the group. He is known as
the Master Borrower" He agrees
to provide the service when need
ed and the others, his neighbors
who decide to join in, agree to use
the service and pay the charges
specified for the service
When the loan is paid the equip
ment belongs to the Master bor-
rover. The only rules are that he
agrees to provide the service at a
reasonable service charge during
the life of the equipment. This is
only good business and the Master
borrower would naturally want to
do this even though such an agree
ment were not made.
The rate of interest for the group
loan is three per cent and the leng-
tn of the loans depends on the pro-
bable useful life Of the animals or
machines used to provide the SER
vice, he stated.
In working out community
group to secure one of the loans,
more than half Of the group taking
part must be rural rehabilitation
borrowers, low income families, or
both, and the remaining families
may be anyone in the community.
They, like the others, pay for the
services to be had. These service
charges are the basis of paying of
the loan. The loans can be used
