This is the kind of member of the
bench that the program of the LNPL
and the MCPPA has no room for
this is the kind of corporation tool
that the progressive movement is
trying to eliminate from public office
There car be no security, no justice,
no real liberty for wage earners,
farmers and small business men, for
progressive professional people, SC
long as the monopolies can pass off
this type of their employees as "ser-
wants of the people"
The program of LNPL is published
in full below. It is on this program
and that Of the Montana Council foI
Progressive Political Action fol
statewide distribution that organized
progressives will campaign in the
final elections. The program meets
the needs of all the people of Mon
tana who earn their living by work
of hand and brain and who live by
labor instead of by plundering the
people of this state.
There is much work to be done tC

We urge the speediest publication

it imperative that the first issu,

PREAMBLE AND PROGRAM
LABOR'S N-ON-PARTISAN
LEAGUE OF SILVER
BOW COUNTY

0OW OO4N4
Corporate domination of Montana,
which for years has controlled eco
n0mic, political and education in
situations and the press, with only
sporadic challenges from progressive
groups, is responsible for the de-
plOrable economic and social cOndi-
tions of the great majority of the
people of county and state.
Realizing this, Labor's NOn-Parti-
san League in Silver Bow County, in
conformity with the program of the
national organization with head
quarters in Washington, d. c., makes
its objective the uniting of all wage
earners and farmers into one progress
sive political movement for the adj
vancement Of their interests as
against monopoly reaction.
We believe that the economic and
social program of the New Deal
furnishes a basis for the unity of all
prOgressives.
We believe that the interests of
professional people and small bust
ness men are best served by united
with wage-earners and farmers
against the entrenched and predatory
corporations now in control of the
economic life of our state.
On the basis of this preamble and
the following program the candidates
endorsed by LabOr's NOn-PartiSan
League pledge their efforts to the
enactment of laws which will give
the people of the state a closer con-
troll and just regulation of their
natural resources; legislation in gem
eral which will benefit the people;
and laws which will put a check ON
dictatorial powers now being exer-
cised by the corporate interests and
their political puppets.
|. Public ownership and control of
public utilities nationally and in our
state.
a. Pending accomplishment of this
aim, strict regulation of all public
utilities, especially electric light and
power, gas, and water; a substantial
and rapid lowering of rates for light
and power for home owners, indie
pendent business enterprises, such as
small merchants, hotels, and lodging
houses and small manufacturers.
b. The most rapid extension of
rural identification at rates suffi-
eient to pay cost of installation,
operation, maintenance and depre-
citation without private profit.
III. The unrestricted right of wage
earners to organize in unions of their
free choice; strike, picket and bar
gain collectively without arbitrary
interference by state and local police
and military forces and /or by pri-
vate armed forces of employers. Out
Iawing of the industrial spy system.
a. Opposition to any attempts
(such as those now being made by
employing i~nterests) to weaken the
Wagner Labor Relations Act.
b. The enactment of a state law
following the provisions of the Wag-
ner Labor Relations Act to apply to
employing concerns not engaged in
interstate commerce.
C. Legislation guaranteeing full
academic freedom and the unrestrict-
ed right of professors, associate pro-
fessors and instructors in all state
educational institutions to organize
freely in a union of their choice.

The Group Health Decision

JUSTICE JENNINGS BA1LEY'S decision that Group
J Health Association is legitimate and proper
rangement between Government employees and certain
doctors is a notable victory in the prolonged be-
tween organized medicine and the wage-earner who
wants proper treatment for himself and family when sick
but who cannot afford present prices.
The District Medical Society has fought Group Health
Association tooth and nail and, it is presumed, will
tnue fighting Its viewpoint of course, is the same as
that of the American Medical

rood E;1of cist, DR.. Morris Fishben, ad-

Organized medicine appeared merely "a friend of

friend the Supreme Court of the United States and
gets the matter settled for good and ALL the better it will
be for the health of the nation.

people that had no other re-
