SECTION II

The need for railroads. was rec
ognized early and many efforts
were made to penetrate the
mountains with this method Of
transportation. About 1886, Rob
ert Y. Hayne, the brilliant South
CarOlinian who had routed Daniel
Webster in debate, headed a COM
pany which planned the building
of railroad from Charleston to
Cincinnati by way of Western
North Carolina. Whatever sue
cess might have attended this en-
terprise and any change it would
have made in development Of the
Blue Ridge Highlands was cut
short in 1899 when Mr.. Hayne
was taken ill while in Asheville to
attend meeting of the organiza-
tion. He died there a few days

At that time, corn was almost
the only crop raised in quantities
in the mountain area and the
feeding of these animals, as they
stopped on their way to market,
brought Il welcome demand for
the surplus that otherwise would
have yielded no cash return.
Needless to say, to a section
with no outside communications,
in Il day when newspapers were
almost unknown. the annual trips
of these cattle men provided great
excitement, and were looked for
ward TO with intense interest.
This contact with the world be-
yOnd the mountain limits furnish
ID fresh topics for discussion and
many fast friendships were form
ed between the travellers and the
hosts along the way.

VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE In SCHOOL
ELECTION DEEMED VERY IMPORTANT
Issues Of the Campaign Are
Company Control or Repre-
sentatiOn by the People.

In order that there shall be no
misunderstanding on which side of
the fence the various school candi-
dates stand, it is here made public
that Frank Murray, a member of
the Clerks Union and former Off
Ger of the Cooks and Walters Union,
is endorsed and sponsored by the
organized labor movement of Silver
Bow County. DR.. Granger is also
endorsed and sponsored by the Sill
Bow Trades and Labor Council.
Both of these men were elected at
a mass meeting held by the hide
pendent ticket. The Independent
ticket is the ticket of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council, the par
ent body of the unions of this COM
munity. The issue before the peo-
pie of Silver Bow County is whether
the corporations shall dominate the
operation and administration of the
public school system, or whether the
people shall have some say in this
matter. In spite of all the attempts
to camouflage the issue or to smooth
or soften it over, there remains out
standing and ineradicable differ
ences between the two groups and
these differences stand out like a
menacing iceberg before an ap-
preaching vessel
The Citizens ticket, or Peoples
ticket, as it is sometimes referred
to, represents the business and cor

DEFENSE FOR PROSECUTED MEMBERS
TwO-Day Convention in Butte
Outlines Future Policies and
Plans Extension of Work.

Meeting in Butte, March 1920,
the State Executive Board of the
Montana Workers Alliance planned
a militant and thorough statewide
mass defense for its leaders: Jack
Richardson, Lloyd Taylor, Ray Rich
ardson, William Davey and Henry
Murray, who are charged with
grand larceny for their part in dis
tributing commodities to needy re-
lief workers.
In addition to regular board mem
bers, delegates from Alliance locals
from all parts of Montana attended
the board meeting, participating in
the plans of the defense and other
activity. Thirteen local unions sent
delegates, making a total of 80 per-
sons in attendance.
After local reports, the work of
the two-day conference was divided
among the following committees:
Committee on defense, committee on
organization, committee on political
action, committee on WPA and re-
lief, committee on a legislative pro-
gram, and a convention and miscel-
laneous committee.
Resolutions were adopted cover
ing the many working class prob
lens in Montana, most of which are
felt more keenly by the Workers
Alliance than by other sections of
the farm-labor movement. They
included: A pledge of continued
statewide support for the Great
Falls leaders; condemnation Of Sen
ator Wheeler for his using the WPA
and welfare programs to build a
political machine; support of the
progressive legislative program of
farm and labor unions, including

LABOR ACT CHANGE
OPPOSED

WASHINGTON (FP) - Opposi-
ton to any amendment of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act or any
investigation of the National Labor
Relations Board was expressed in
letters sent the Senate labor and
judiciary committees by the Ameri-
can Association for Economic Free
dom.
The letter was sent from the ma
tional policy board of the organiza-
ton and signed by W. Jet Lauck,
vice chairman of the board. The
national policy board, the letter
stated, is composed of church, uni
versity and public representatives.
It's chairman is William Allen White
of Emporia, Kans.
1.-THE National Labor Relations
Act, in reality, marks a new epoch
in the development of democracy"
the letter stated. More than seven
centuries ago, at Runnymede, the
Magma Carta of our personal and
civil liberties against ~autocratic po-
litical government was born. Dur
ing the intervening years, it was
further amplified in Great Britain,
and in 1889, the accumulated safe
guards to that date were made a
condition to American democracy or
were incorporated in the bill of
rights of our constitution.
Our transition from an agricul-
tural to an industrial and CONNER
cial nation has demonstrated to us,
however, that political democracy
without industrial democracy is a
sham and delusion. In other words,
if our self-governing, democratic in
stitutions r to be preserved, and
if the world is to be freed from the
dictatorship of communism and fas-
cism, American democracy must be
made safe against industrial and
financial a~utocracy."
Logically, the letter said, the labor
act is a legislative supplement to the
constitutional bill of rights. I'VE
WISH" it said, ito protest against
any investigation of the board. We
wish also to urge upon members of
the Senate that they restore the
drastic cut in the boards %appropria-
ton which has been recommended
by the committee on appropriations.
1--WE further urge rejection at this
time of all of the amendments pro-
posed by Sen. Vandenberg (R.,
Mich.) and others which would serve
in any way to weaken the National
Labor Relations Act as the basic
grant of industrial freedom to the
workers of America"

pADBURY GIVES fine DECISION
REIN5TATING FORMER LIBRARIAN
Case Was Brought into Court
in the Name of James Ora
ham, President of the Mon
tana Federation of Labor.
UNIONS ARE ELATED

Unions and other liberal persons
throughout the state of Montana
hailed with delight the liberal de-
cision of Judge Padbury of Helena,
reinstating Philip o. Keeney to his
position as librarian of the Universe
ty of Montana.
When Nh. Keeney was first dis
charged the trade unions took up
the battle and James Graham, presi-
dent Of the Montana Federation of
Labor, the executive board and the
central labor councils of the state
have been untiring in their efforts
to see that justice was done. Much
credit is also due other Organiza-
tons outside of the state Of Mon
tana for their loyal assistance.
Professor Philip o. Keeney was
ordered reinstated by District Judge
George w. Padbury, Jr., as librarian
and professor in the Department of
Library Economy at the State Uni
versity at Missoula in a decision
rendered Tuesday, March 22nd, and
ordered that a writ of mandamus
issued requiring the State Board of
Education to Immediately permit
Keeney to carry on his duties.
Professor Keeney, after six years
of service rendered as librarian and
professor at Missoula, was dismissed
by President George F. Simmons on
April 6, 1887, his dismissal to be
effective September LIST. Thereafter
Professor Keeney appealed to the
State Board of Education which con
sidered the matter at a meeting
April IL, 1887, but refused to take
any action. Attorney General Har-
rison ]. Freebourn and Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction Ruth Rear
