San Francisco-There are about
100000 lawyers in the United
States to help you get divorce,
but how many agencies can give
you expert help in staying mar
ried?
The latest official count is 80.
That is the number of the
family relations centers" that
have sprung up to get Mr.. and
Mrs. to talk to a consultant in
stead of a judge.
The San Francisco center,
founded in 1923 and claiming to
be the first out-and-out marriage
counsel institution, handled ISL
cases last year.

brought in her problems in well
over half the cases. said Henry

with sociological research find

admit both to herself and others
that marriage is not a success.
Objective Talks
People have been observed to
walk up and down before the
building for two hours before get

emotional troubles to stranger.
The interview is held across

part of their behavior wrong, and
encourage them to give me the
facts"
The ideal procedure, he be-
ieves, is to have two interviews
with the wife, two with the hus-
band, and then talk with them to-
gether.
Sex Important Factor
And what about? Grant finds
that sex problems are the chief
cause of marital unhappiness,
with finances and the question of
who's boss also important. For a
statistical report on the subject,
he refers you to opinions of 100
men and 100 women gathered by

Mr.. Fa1k attributes the low de-

Most of the unpaid taxes will
be collected by Sheriff Kise in the

Great rails Leader
F. M. Tenney, Managing Editor,
Dear Sir:
There was forwarded to this office
some time ago a copy of the Lead
en-" Sept. 18th edition, with the pic
lures of President Roosevelt and
Italian dictator Mussolini on the
front page under the caption peace
Advocate and New Recruit"
This crude attempt to establish a
parallel between the sincere peace
proposals of our president and the
hypocritical rantings of the war-mad
Mussolini is an insult to American
intelligence, exemplifying the vulgar
and vicious methods by which re-
dictionary fascist sympathizers seek
to create confusion on the peace
question and misconstrue the pro-
gressive detectives of the New Deal
administration.
If / am wrong in assuming a de-
liberate desire on your part 10 dis
tort the news, then your ignorance
must be appalling. Surely you are
aware-from reading the news
papers-of the bloody aggressions of
Mussolini and Hitler in Spain, their
ruthless invasion of a peaceful demo-
cratic country and wanton slaughter
of its unprotected people? Certainly
you must be familiar with the fact
of Mussolini's armed invasion of
Ethiopia and Hitler's conquest by
force in Austria? The will of Ger
man and Italian fascism has lately
been imposed on the democratic
nation of Czechoslovakia through
threat of similar armed invasion.
Perhaps you can enlighten me, as
well as your readers, as to when
President Roosevelt has ever sub
scribed to such policies?
Yours in behalf of an honest stand
for the preservation of peace and
democracy,
ARVO FREDRICKSON.

job in sympathy with the miners
and craftsmen in their strike of 1884.
Mr.. Malta appeared personally be-
fore the union and thanked the mem
bers for the endorsement, and also

have occasion to regret it.

GREAT FALLS MAN
CONDEMNS FAS(ISTS

It's the duty of all liberals to help
counteract the adverse propaganda
launched to block CALIFORNIA; new
life to the large masses of the in
solvent and exploited class. There
is no necessity or sense that thou
sands in this generation should die
off before they have hade a chance
to enjoy some fair share of abund-
ance and life in the richest land in
the world. We want liberal thought
and social justice to become immedi-
ate realities. Roosevelt is with the
people in their crusade, but can 60
only so far to the left without too
much reactionary splits, within the
party still dominated to a large ex-
tent by financial fascists. California
sees this gap must be filled and
forces the issue. All states must
follow while the old party politi-
clans are completing their battle to
prepare for the funeral of the finan-
cial fascist system. There is no ex-
cuse or argument that the masses
should wait in misery for a more
abundant life and more real demo-
cracy in a rich land like America
while party politicians stall and fill
buster over fundamentals.

HALL SECURED FOR
COMMUNIST MEETING
WeinstOne Is First Member of
Party's National Committee to
Speak in Butte Since BrOwder

Following a period of uncertainty
in the efforts Of the Communist
party to obtain use Of the old Butte
high school auditorium for its mass
meeting, the active support of the
Silver Bow Trades Council and local
unions was instrumental in settling
the matter and having the hall
granted.
William Weinstone, a leading
member of its national committee,
will be the party's main speaker at
the meeting in the auditorium on
Tuesday evening, October 25th, at
g p. m. This will be the first time
that a member Of the national COM
mittee has spoken in Butte since
Earl Browder addressed a meeting
here during the presidential election
campaign two years ago. Weinstone,
who is on a national tour, will speak
on the question: Can Democracy
Win Over Fascism?"
The main source of danger lies in
the fact that large groups of people
who hate fascism are insufficiently
familiar with its nature to recognize
it in it's various DISCUSSES and to
combat it intelligently. Reactionary
corporation controlled newspapers
diligently seek to implant the idea
that America is immune to the
danger of fascism. Confronted with
an increasing number of fascist
manifestations in the United States,
the kept press distorts the news and
tries to cloak their vicious character.
The fascist movements themselves
operate under a camOuflage of
"Americanism' and patriotism" en-
deavoring to sell fascism to the
American people under false labels.
Weinstone, a speaker and organic
er of national reputation, will eX-
plain the class nature of fascism, its
demagogic methods of appeal, and
the specific forms of fascist develop
ment in the United States. Special
preparations are being made to as
sure a large and interesting meeting.

LEWIS and cREEN SHOULD BOTH RESIGN
AL Admits PRIMERS
ENJOYS on Probation

HOUSTON, Tex.-(FP)-Six dele
gates of the Init. Typographical
Union, who have been kept outside
of the Coliseum sessions of the AFL
convention because of the printers
refusal to pay the special l per cent
assessment for the AFL organizing
fund, were permitted to take their
seats on the fourth day under a com
promise plan engineered by Pres.
William Green.
Probationary status was given the
ITU men when Pres. Claude M.
Baker promised that the ITU would
hold another referendum that would
state the question in clear-cut
fashion. He said that the last refer
endum, which resulted in rejection
of the assessment, was adroitly pre-
pared in a way to insure defeat.
"The( ITU has been the object of
highly organized propaganda against
the assessment" Baker said, refer
ring to charges that the assessment
was designed to fill an AFL war
chest for a campaign against the
CLIO. The printers president added
that he hoped the new referendum
would pass, although he could not
promise a favorable vote.
1--WE cannot bring about unity if
there is a severance" he said. Il
hold that representation for the ITU
is worth more than any paltry sum-"
Baker was given the convention
floor by Green, who argued that
seating of the ITU delegates will
strengthen the hands of the newly
elected ITU officers who are our
friends, and will confound our
enemies"
I'VE are not so foolish in these
days, when a dual rival organization
is seeking to drive organizations out
of the AFL, as to play into their
hands," Green said. His reference
to the newly-elected ITU officers
recalled the defeat of the late
Charles P. Howard by Baker. How
ard was national secretary of the
CLIO until his death shortly after the
printers election.
Green excused the printers vote
against the assessment on the ground
that they were confused. This view
was sharply challenged by Pres.
Daniel Tobin of the Init, Brother
hood Of Transfers, who declared:
'The ITU members are not Sc
dumb that they did not know what
they were voting on Tobin finally
assented to seating the delegates on
a probationary basis, although he
warned that the door was being left
open for lodging the assessment by
other unions that have paid it re-
luctantly. you are placing 8

in The Labor Movement
Requires The Elimination Of
These Two Warning Leaders
John L. Lewis Offer to Resign
If Green Will Do Likewise Is
the Greatest Contribution
Made Since the Beginning of
the Rupture.

The generous offer Of John L.
Lewis to the Houston, Texas, cor
vention that he would resign as head
of the Committee for Industrial Or
~ganization if William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, would also resign was one of
the greatest contributions to labor
peace and harmony, in the United
States, that has been made since the
clio was first established in the fall
of 1885. The offer was made in
Washington before newspaper men
and officials of the Committee for
Industrial Organization. According
to United Press reports, Mr.. Green
had no comment to make upon the
suggestion.
It can hardly be c%ontroverted that
Mr.. Lewis meant a great deal to
William Green, especially during the
time when Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Green
were both officials of the United
Mine Workers of America and when
they were both members of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor. It could almost
be said that Mr.. Green owes his
elevation to the presidency of the
American Federation of Labor to the
efforts and generosity of John l..
Lewis. Mr.. Lewis was not a COM
munist at the time he was associated
with Mr.. Green in the United Mine
Workers and in the councils of the
American Federation of Labor. It
has only been since he challenged
the supremacy of his former friend
that he has been charged with all
sorts of vicious crimes and ideas.
The American people and especially
the American workers have been
treated to a display of v~iciousness,
abuse and ~undeserved condemnation
upon the head of John Lewis by
President Green and the executive
council of the American Federation
Of Labor, that, to say the least, is
disgraceful and unbecoming.
Nothing, however, that any Of the
officials of the A. F. of L. can say
of the CLIO al alter the firm con-
viction in the minds of the working
people that the Committee for In
dustrial Organization has performed
a marvellous service to the workers
an almost miraculous service-in
organizing three million men and
women in the mass production in
dustries; in industries that were so
powerful and so entrenched that all
the efforts of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, since its establish
ment, was not able to pierce. That
John l.. Lewis rendered this remark
able service to the people of this
country, that he organized where the
American Federation of Labor made
a dismal failure, should entitle him
to praise, not abuse. The officials
of the American Federation of Labor
should be magnanimous and gener-
Gus and forget their personal jeal-
ousies and ambitions, and realize
that the battle now going on between
the two organizations has had a
terribly detrimental effect on the
rank and file of the working people.
1t is in this regard that Mr.. Green,
Mr.. Vol, and Mr.. Frey should be
condemned.
In the craft industries, in legisla-
ton and in many other ways, the
