Every Mothers Son Pays

Money down a rat hole" is an
accurate way to describe the vast
expenditures that have been made
on many barge lines in this coun-
try.
Some vivid statistical light on the
problem was recently cast by DR..
Charles L. Raper, Dean of the Col
lege of Business Administration of
Syracuse University, when he said
"In New York State, we have spent
about 100000, 900 on the Barge Can
al. and the taxpayers each year put
into its maintenance and interest
charges more than So for each ton
of freight which goes into the canal
most of It low-grade commodities.
The taxpayers of the nation are in
vesting hundreds of times as much
as the railroad rates for each ton of
freight moving into the improved
Missouri River"
It's too late now to recover the
money that has been thrown away

on barge canals. But it isn't too late
to prevent such utter waste in the
future. And the loss of taxpayers
hard earned dollars isn't all there is
to it. These heavily subsidized barge
lines have taken away tremendous
volume of business from the rail-
roads-shippers naturally patronize
them when the public treasures
stand ready to pay the bills. And
that has been an important eontri-
buting factor to the railroad crisis,
with the decline in that industry's
employment, its greatly reduced ex-
penditures, and heavy losses to rail-
road investors. It is just another
case of tax-exempt political expert
ments competing with private citi-

WEAKEST LINK
STRENGTHENED

One phase of the so-calIed chain
store controversy has been given
less attention than its importance
merits. AS DR.. Raymond Moley re-
Gently observed, the chain store
system strengthens the national eco
nomy at its weakest link-the dis
tributive process.
E. cheney of manufacture and
production grew far more rapidly in
this country than efficiency OF dis
tribution. Twenty years ago great
strides had been made in eIiminaf-
ing waste in the factory-little had
been done to eliminate waste be-
tween the factory and the ultimate
purchaser. Thus, a substantial part
of the savings effected by manufae-
turing efficiency was lost to- the con-
sumer. So far as he was concerned,
they might as well not have exist
ed.
Lack Of distribution caused high
prices in small towns and with the
coming of the automobile, trade
from the country began to drift to
the big stores so and 100 miles
away. Then came the chain stores to
the rural communities with the same
goods sold I'm the cities, at the same
price. Consumers began to save
money by staying at home. Trade
was held in the small towns. Inde-
pendent stores were many times
saved from ruin by trade recaptured
to the local community by the chain
stores.
Improving distribution has been
one of the great services of mass
by chains or indepen-
dent organizations. 1t will be a con-
sumner tragedy If any law prevents
continued progress along this line.

HALLMARK of Safety

In great laboratories, technicians
and engineers are working day in
and day out to help make your home
safe from fire.
The Underwriters Laboratories
which was pioneered and is sup
ported by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, carries on an endless
list of fire prevention activities. The
laboratories are purely non-cOm-
mercial. They earn no profit. No
manufacturers goods are given pre-
feTred treatment. All that counts in
tests conducted in these laborator-
les is the resistance to fire of any
article or material.
Someone comes out with a new
roofing material for which fire
proof" claims are made-the labora-
tories prove or disprove those
claims. Someone devises a new cleo
trio iron or mOtOr-the laboratories
decide once and for all, by scientific
methods and not guess work, just
how safe they are. Nothing is taken
for granted.
Once the tests are completed, ar
ticles and materials that success
fully pass the rigorous examination
given, are labeled approved" And
this seal of approval of the Under
Laboratories has come to be
regarded as a hallmark of safety by
wise buyers. Many buyers refuse to
purchase articles which are unable
10 obtain this vitality important safe
ty endorsement.
The result Of all this is a safer
America. And still the work goes

places of work safer yet.

zens and destroying highly taxed
private enterprise.
Survey after survey has sflowH
that railroad rates are far loves
than real barge line costs, In the
great majority of cases. The ap1
parent cheapness OF barge line
transport is only made possible By
vast tax subsidies. Taxpayers MAY
not realize 1t, but every mothers
son of them is helping to pay the de-
ficits of barge lines they never heaf
of. And it's directly in their inters
est to see that this needless waste Is
stopped.

The Montana Labor News,
Butte, Montana:
Speaker Bankhead of the United
States House of Representatives has
just called me and stated that pur-
suant to my previous conversations
with him that he would on next
Monday recognize a member of the
House for a motion to proceed with
the consideration of my bill author
izing the development of power at
Fort Peck. In the absence of Con-
gresham O'Connor whose most val
liable work on this measure has
greatly facilitated with consideration
in whose district the project is To-
Gated, l have requested the Speaker
to recognize the Honorable Jerry j.
O'Connell. Have consulted both
Democratic and Republican leaders
and have every reason to believe
that this measure will receive the
necessary two-thirds vote under sus-
pension of House rules, and that its
passage will therefore be assured.
If House passes my power bill l will
ask Senate to Immediately adopt
House amendments and will then
urge the President to approve bill.

GUARDS Al PRISON
FORM TRADE UNION

On April 9th a meeting was held
with the prison board, consisting of
Governor Ayers, Attorney General
Freebourn, and Secretary Of State
Sam Mitchell, together with Mr., Ed
Nichols, executive board member Of
the Montana Federation of Labor,
Mr.. James Graham, president of the
Federation, and Mr.. S. J. Houlihan.
The meeting was called primarily
because a union affiliated with the
municipal county and state en-
ployees had been formed at the
prison from among the guards. It
was alleged by this organization that
some discrimination had been made
because of the union activities of
some of the members. The warden,
who was also present at the meeting,
confessed that a certain mar had
been discharged, principally for his
union work. Attorney Freebourn
made a motion that this particular
individual be reinstated, but neither
the Governor nor Sam Mitchell, how
ever, seconded the motion, and then
Mitchell made a motion that the
case be taken under advisement.
This was carried. The union repre-
sentatives at the meeting feel quite
confident that the decision will be
favorable.

MUST AMEND GAME
LAWS TO GET FUND

Montana's fish and game depart
ment can obtain additionally $4,000
a year from the federal government
if the state law requiring the depart
ment to turn over $500 annually
to the livestock commission is
amended, State Warden James E.
Weaver points out. The money
would be turned over to the state
as its share of proceeds of the fed
eral excise tax on guns and ammu-
milton. However, the government
requires it to be spent solely for fish
and game propagation. The state
law requires the department to sur
render $500 annually to the live
stock commission to pay bounties on
predatory animals. Attorney Gen
eral H. j. Freebourn has ruled the
law diverting the money is invalid
and the procedure is merely a trans
fer, but until the law is so amended
on the statute books Uncle Sam
won't "kick-in" with the $4,000,
Weaver has been informed by the
federal biological survey.

THINKIN' IT. LOUD

Columbia Falls Review.-Richard
Whitney, former chairman of the
New York Stock Exchange and titu-
lar head of the country's associated
industries, is now convict number
94835 in Sing Sing prison. Just a
few short weeks ago this man was
giving out advice to business men
all over the country-he was a man
big and little business looked up to,
his word was law. But you all know
what happened to him-he went bad.
The funny part of this to US is
that the big newspapers have not
thrown slurs at big business because
one of their leaders was proved to
be a crook, Why? They are not
consistent. If one of the labor lead
ers of the country gets in the
clutches of the law-whether the
charge is trumped up by such men
as Whitney or not-big headlines tell
about how the unions are crooked.
We don't give a tinker's dam
whether a fellow belongs to your
church, your fraternal order, your
chamber of commerce, or your un-
ion, if he is bad at heart he should
not be protected, but because he is
bad is no reason to throw slams at
the organization he might be a mem
Der or officer of.
Think this over the next time you
read something in the dailies Cor
some of the weakened Weeklies)
blaming unions for the acts of some
of their officers or members.
