WASHINGTON, D. C. (SpeciaD-
President Roosevelt last week pre-
sented to Congressman Jerry ].
O'Connell the pen with which he
had signed the bill to provide public
power at the Fort Peck dam.
In transmitting the pen to Con-
gresham O'Connell the President
forwarded a letter addressed Dear
jerry in which he said the pen was
sent to O'Connell because of the
deep interest which he had shown
in fostering and securing passage OF
legislation for power at Fort Peck.
The letter addressed Dear jerry
was taken in Washington as an in
dication that the President favored
Congressman O'Connell in his cam
paign for reelection to Congress in
the First Montana district.
Letters similarly addressed to in
cumbents, notable the dear Alben'
letter to Senator Alben Barley of
Kentucky was commented on in the
eastern press as indicative of Bark
ley being the Presidents choice in
the Kentucky senatorial election and
the letter to O'Connell was con-
strued in the same manner by Wash
ington political dopesters.
Congressman O'Connell introduced
the first bill for Fort Peck power.
Subsequently a similar bill was in
troduced in the Senate, but the Pres
ident recognizing the fact that
O'Connell had been the first and
outstanding supporter of the mea-
sure took this means to make GER
tain that he received the proper
credit for his efforts. 1t was O'Con-
nell who forced the vote on the bill,
and made the speech which brought
about its passage.

Lea Z Affidavits to Form Basis
o y gal Action Against Death
7 ats.

c AGO. - Affidavits swearing
thu reats against the life of Presi-
der oosevelt were made at a meet
in f the Silver Shirts, Fascist
6 organizing anti-democratie
groups here, are in the hands of the
American League for Peace and
Democracy of this city.
The affidavits will be turned over
to the proper authorities, announces
Mrs. Jane Swanhuyser, organiza-
tional secretary of the Chicago
American League, to form the basis
of legal action against Roy Zachary,
leader of the Silver Shirts, and his
followers. The affidavits attest the
following significant facts:
A large percentage of the audience
at the meeting, where the threats
were made, was composed of men,
bers of the German American Bund.
At the first meeting of the group,
held a few weeks ago at Viking Hall
here, describing the Roosevelt adj
ministration as plotting to establish
a dictatorship, Zachary said '"The
time is here, the time is past to rid
the country of this menace" And
There will be plenty of action after
we come to power. Stay out of the
Silver Shirts unless you are pre-
pared to take orders from Policy
civilian Dudley Pelley, leader of
the group on a quasi-military
basis.
At both meetings held here so far
Zachary has impersonated Roosevelt
as speaking with a Jewish accent.
The affidavits were obtained by
members of American Leagues Chi
cago branches who attended the
meetings of the Silver Shirts.

sational speeches in Montana in
which he predicted that Hitler and
Mussolini, the war mad lords of
Europe, were planning on effecting a
fascist coup in Austria, following
which they hoped to do the same in
Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Some who were not in accord with
the Congressman's views at that
time, or his policy of making a trip
to Spain to investigate fascist inter
vention, now feel that Montana
should be proud of her young Con-
gresham, who obtained first hand
information months before this
crisis appeared.
In Washington, Jerry's colleagues
are backing his fight for passage of
the O'Connell Peace Act, which be-
cause it would affect only aggressor
nations and not work a hardship on
the victims, is acclaimed as a most
necessary piece of legislation at this
time.

WAR CONGRESS
WASHINGTON MAY 2S

A national Anti-W Congress has
been called to convene at the Rialto
Theatre in Washington, D. c., on
May 20, 20 and 80, 1893, by the
Keep America Out of War Com
mittee." This organization, COM
posed of liberal men and women and

tons and persons who desire to at
tend the convention. Persons de-
string to attend should address Gre
dentials to the Credentials Commit
tee, 1907 III" Street N. W., Wash
ington, D. c.
The convention will be addressed
by prominent men and women of
the nation. The organization is re-
questing an end to the supremacy,
wartime mobilization preparations
and conscript bills; an end to use of
naval vessels to protect oil tankers
in Chinese waters; the immediate re-
moval of American military forces
from the Far East, and no entangling
alliances for war under any name
or pretext, with any nation or bloc
of nations. They are also request
ing the democratic right to vote on
war; a sound prosperity through a
program of construction, conserva-
ton, and expanded education rather
than a false prosperity built on a
war boom; an end to unemployment
through jobs at home and not
through death on the battlefield; in
creased solidarity with the people
of all nations in the world wide
struggle to abolish economic injus-
tice and colonial repression, and for
removal of the causes of dictatorial
militarism.

MAYOR Mt(ARvEL
pRE5IDES Ar CITY
COUNCIL MEETING

ANACONDA.-The City Council
of Anaconda held its regular meet
ing in the council chambers Monday,
May Is, 1888. Mayor Thomas J..
McCarvel presided with all alder
men being present. City Clerk
Glenn read the correspondence
which was of interest, among which
was the approval of the street grad
ing project received from Washing
ton, D. c. This work will officially
start on the next period, May 23rd.
About 1870 men will be put to work,
more to be put on as the work pro-
crosses. Rudy Urick will be the
general foreman and he will have
two gang bosses, all of whom will
work directly under Charles Nicely.
City Engineer, Alderman Dan S.
Lyons, chairman of the Street and
Alley committee, reported the new
lotion grader had arrived and was
in operation grading streets.
Alderman Turtle, chairman of the
Health committee, reported a meet
ing had been held regarding the
stamped meat which was brought to
the attention of the city council by
Alderman Lyons. Mr.. Turtle in
formed the council a meat ordinance
would be brought into the council
in the near future.
Alderman Pat Collins reported a
meeting had been held with the
school board in regard to the new
safety tunnel for students under the
Fourth Street arterial highway from
the school to the city commons.
Mayor McCarvel did not accept this
report as he was informed the entire
committee was not in attendance
and at the present time the school
board is uniformed as to what is
proposed. The mayor asked that the
entire committee of five aldermen
whom he had appointed to call an
other meeting with the school board,
and also have City Engineer Nicely
in attendance. 1t is hoped that this
fine safety project for the students,
which is also to include rest rooms
for ladies and gentlemen, will re-
ceive favorable action. A report will
be made at the next meeting of the
council.
Street Commissioner Walter Reilly
is making fine progress on the street
grading work. Engineer Nicely is
working on a proposed new project,
that of grading and oiling all the
alleys in the city.
Favorable weather has given
Foreman Walter Healy of the curb
and sidewalk project a break and he
has installed many new jobs. This
is one of the best projects for the
taxpayers.

INSURANCE COMPANIES DEPRIVE MANY
INJURED EMPLOYEES OF COMPENSATION
Plan 2 Should Be Repealed.

Numerous complaints are heard
throughout the state against Plan
Two of the Workmen's Compensa-
ton Act, especially from those who
have worked at Fort Peck and who
came under Plan Two.
Many workers are not aware of
their rights under the Workmen's
Compensation Act and therefore are
easily defrauded by insurance COM
panies out of the compensation due
them for injuries received while at
work. The extent that injured
workers at Fort Peck were cheated
out of compensation will never be
known as there is no way of con-
tacting those who were injured and
the time limit to claim compensation
has expired.
It now appears that many workers
employed in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park and injured have been
defrauded out of their compensation
by insurance companies.
Company doctors appear to be a
party to the cheating. Injured work
ers claim to have been turned out
of the hospitals as well and their
compensation stopped when they
were unable to work for months
afterwards. These men came under
the Temporary Total Disability
clause of the Compensation Act and
are entitled to compensation not to
exceed three hundred weeks, if their
injuries prevented them from work
ing that long, most Of them received
from eight to ten weeks compensa-
ton, thereby using up the little
money they had saved, go in debt,
or be kept by relatives while the
profits of the insurance companies
pile up,
Out of every hundred workers in
jured under Plan Two not to exceed
eighteen receive compensation,
eight-two out of every hundred of
them do not receive a penny of COM
pensation. The insurance companies
claim the reason for that is that the
great majority of those injured only
receive minor injuries, and there
fore are not entitled to compensa-
tion-a fine excuse for cheating in
jured workers out of compensation.
There is at present a case in Great
Falls where a worker, under Plan
Two, was injured last summer and
operated on last October, is still
waiting for the first payment due
him on compensation. The insur-
ance company claims that this man
did not give notice Of his injury
within thirty days after receiving
the same; the workman claims he
did, and the case is now before the
Industrial Accident Board for an in
vestigation and decision, Unless the
insurance company changes its tao
tics this case will in all likelihood
have to go to the Supreme Court
for a decision, and the injured work
er will have to wait another eighteen
months for his compensation.
The best way to settle the hum
bug methods of the insurance com
panies is to repeal Plan Two of the
Workmen's Compensation Act.
Therefore, let all workers unite in
demanding that Plan Two be re-
pealed.
