OPEN FORUM
THE KEENEYS TELL
OF SOUTHERN TRIP

Weekly readers of the Montana
Labor News may be interested in
some of the labor activities we have
witnessed since coming to the "Bay
Region of California.
On Nov. 10 we attended the Vic
tor Jewett hearing in the Plaza Ho-
tel in San Francisco. Jewett was
dismissed from the Eureka high
school without warning in 1885. He
was a member of the A. F. of 7.
and in Eureka, Jewett had taken
an active part in the timber work.
ers' strike during the spring of that
year. The case of his dismissal had
been heard in the district court and
appealed to the appellate court. In
both instances the courts upheld his
dismissal, and the state Supreme
Court refused to review the pro-
ceedings. This autumn the Board
of Education was asked to suspend
Jewett's teaching credential. This
action was fought by many Of the
important unions of the state, in
Guiding both the A. F. of L. and
C. l. o. Pressure was so great that
the Board of Education agreed to
give Jewett a public hearing which
was the one we attended.
Jewett was defended by Herbert
Resner, Tom MONEYS attorney. At
the hearing were mor than a hun
bred labor representatives and their
effect on the Board of Education
was apparent from the beginning.
After the presentation of the case
by Resner, several labor delegates
spoke in defense of Jewett. The
whole hearing took two hours and
was a most interesting one. Quite
different from such proceedings in
Montana. The Board of Education
agreed to review the case and bring
in a decision at its January meeting.
DuL Tic llGAb Qdy IL lhlGQ tlldt ~
had no jurisdiction over the suspen-
sion of Jewett's teaching %credential.
This means a victory for Jewett and
the A. F. of T. in California, and
now labor pressure is being exerted
on the California Board of Educa-
ton to compel it to find Jewett a
new position in the California
schools.
Sunday we attended the Mooney
rally held in the San Francisco civic
auditorium. Some ten thousand
friends of labor packed the huge
auditorium. Governor Benson of
Minnesota was the main speaker.
Before his address the great audi
ence listened to short speeches by
members of the Railroad Brother
hoods, A. F. of L., and C. I. o. Each
speaker drew enormous applause
by stressing the necessity of united
action on the part of all forces of
labor in the fight against the rob
ber-barons" who are using every
Montana labor news., 1938-02-03

weapon at their disposal to destroy
the labor movement. The freeing
of Tom Mooney and Warren Bill
lings is of paramount Importance to
labor NOW. This victory would do
much to unite the labor forces
throughout the country. Jack Shell
ley, president of the San Francisco
Labor Assembly, was the chairman
of the meeting, He read many tele-
grams of congratulations from all
parts of the country, but the two
that drew the greatest rounds of
applause were from Gov, Phil La
Toilette and Montana's congress-
man, Jerry j. O'Connell. This great
rally was a most inspiring spectacle
and indicated the gigantic strength
of labor when united on a funda-
mental issue.
Yesterday we attended the or
ganizational meeting of the Labor
Non-P PARTISAN League in San Fran
cisco. Several hundred delegates
from all over California were in
attendance. Permanent platform
and organizational committees were
appointed. The tasks ahead of the
League in California are tremen-
dous due to strength Of the machine
dominated by the Republican party.
Each speaker in the afternoon
stressed failure of the so-called
political friends of labor to act for
labor after they were elected to
office and the great desireability for
labor to take the bit in its own teeth
and send to the state legislature
and Congress its own representa-
tives, that is, members of organized
labor. Each speaker deplored the
present rift in the labor forces and
emphasized the basic need of the
Labor Non-Partisan League, name
ly, labor's unification and labor's
consolidation with the farmer. The
large agricultural interests in Cali
fornia are controlled by the forces
of big business and follow the Gus
tomary policy by impeding the nor
NAL progress of farmer-unions. All
progressive unionists expect the
Labor Non-Partisan League will
drive Governor Merriam and his
reactionary cohorts from office.
This afternoon, Local $40 of the
A. F. of T. sponsored a talk by the
English novelist, Ralph Bates, cap
tain of the Lincoln Battalion in
Spain. There was a large number
of members and friends present to
listen to a most informative talk
on all the activities of the Loyalists
in Spain. According to Mr.. Bates,
fascism will lose in Spain unless
Mussolini and Hitler are permitted
to send vast contingents of fighting
forces and munitions to Franco. If
this is done, Europeans expect an
other world war.
1 found beside me at this meet
ing, Reverend Ben Wilson who
campaigned for Mr.. Duncan in Butte
nearly 80 years ago, when he ran
for mayor, and was elected. Mr..
Wilson and many other pr~ogressives
I have met here are disappointed
in the recent activities of Senator
Wheeler and hope to see his retire
ment from American politics.

The DEVILS LIE
BY DIR. CHARLES STEELE
Executive Director,
IL AI..nLLAn L ann..n


"All that a man hath will he give
for his life" is the age-long sheer
of Satan. 1t is a miserable lie.
There are towards and slackers
among us, true enough, but the
average man is ready to give his
life for those whom he loves, or for
a Cause in which he believes.
1t is amazing how much Of the
heroic there is in men, although
when the time comes when this is
to be demonstrated, there is rarely
the slightest consciousness of being
a "hero." The whole thing is done
naturally and spontaneously. And
this happens among men and women
who are classified as common
quite as often as it is among those
who are supposed to be made of
finer stuff.
This doesn't mean that men count
life a cheap thing, to be recklessly
flung away. Probably nowhere in
all the world is human life valued
as highly as it is in the United
States. We have become extremely
sensitive to the fact that human life
is to be conserved and enriched. We
are free from blood purges'' now
so common in some other countries.
But we have learned that precious
as life may be, it is by no means the
most highly priced thing in the
world. We believe that truth and
righteousness and justice r more
to be desired than peace obtained
through submission to injustices
done to others-our brothers, our
neighbors, for whose lives we are
at least in part responsible.
The year that is just ahead will
be a trying time for most of us. It
will be a severe testing time for
Industry and Labor. Human prob
lens of the largest dimensions will
have to be met. There will be a call
for the application of the finest
ideals of which men are capable.
The question of wages and
hours will be an important factor
but by no means the most important.
The supreme question will be
whether men will be big enough and
fine enough to put into their rela-
tionships with one another-Indus-
try and Labor, Labor and Labor
the sacrificial spirit which will
prompt them to give for the sake
of others that which will give the
lie to the sheer of Satan-"all that
a man hath will he give for his life"

LABOR BARGAINING
HANDICAP CHARGED.
Federal Cafeteria Unit Is
Accused of Attempting
to Defeat Union.

Jack Mink. business agent of the
United Cafeteria Employees, Local In
dustrial Union No. All, c. I. O., today
charged in a letter to the Welfare
and Recreational Association of Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, Inc, that
the association is "crudely attempting
to escape collective bargaining by
placing unreasonable obstacles in the
path of the union"
F. w. Hoover, the associations gen.
eral manager, said the next meeting
OF the trustees Of the organization is
scheduled to be held the week of
April 10. He said it is unlikely any
action would be taken before then.
Cites Federal Tie-Up.
"The union is shocked by the anti
labor attitude of the Government
sponsored corporation, headed by
high ranking Government officials" ;"
Mr.. Mink declared
The associations recent increases
In pay for some of its employees are
so slight that in most cases they
amount to only few cents day.
and as result of new regulations
providing for deductions for launCry
and meals many of the employees net
no increase at all. The union Intends
to press for the wage scale submitted
to the Welfare Board.
The Welfare Association in its
denial nf ciply tn
ployes is not only compelling en-
ployes to work of necessity when they
should be receiving medical care out
Is also violating the right of Co..
eminent employees who patronize
these cafeterias to be served food oy
healthy persons at all times"
Drastic Action Threatened.
Unless the Welfare Association soon
begins negotiations with the union
representatives the union will take
drastic action to back its demands"
Mr.. Mink asserted.
Referring to the boards recent let
ter that no need is seen for the
signing of a collective bargaining
agreement" Mr. Mink says in his let
ter to the board:
although organized labor in the
past has received such answers from
'die-hard' employers, We feel shocked
that such an anti-labor. anti-admin-
istration attitude should be expressed
by the board Of Government-spon-
sored corporation. The union cannot
and will not accept your position in
this matter
