Bulie Author Exposes
The Money Racket

A book entitled "The Biggest Steal
in the Worlds History" is now on
sale at the p. o. News Stand. It
was compiled by Warren G. Daven-
port of Los Angeles, California, for
merly a resident of Butte who
worked in the mines here. The book
deals with the federal reserve banks
and the American monetary system.
Mr.. Davenport produces evidence to
show that the American people are
being robbed of over a billion dol
lars a year through the practice of
the American government permit
ting private banks to issue money
and then selling them U. S. bonds.
The government then pays the bank
ers interest on these bonds. The
government itself should issue its
own greenbacks. It is a crime for
the government to issue bonds and
then pay interest on them. The
book written by Mr.. Davenport is a
clear exposition of the methods by
which the bankers got control of the
money system Of the United States
and how they are %sabotaging and
scuttling both the government and
the people. It should be read by
every trade unionist.

FIRST HEARING

An interesting feature Of the vari-
GUS hearings is the fact that eight of
the witnesses called to testify repre-
sented that they had retained as
counsel one Dan M. Kelley, chief
counsel for the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company and counsel for the
Montana Power Company, as per-
sonal attorney to represent them at
the hearing. Attorney Kelley con-
stantly objected to the questions
asked the witnesses and the wit
nesses, upon his advice, refused to
answer.
The contempt in which the legisla-
ture is held by Counsel Kelley in
the guise Of counsel for the eight
witnesses before the committee is
illustrated by his own testimony, a
portion of which runs as follows:
@. Does your activities at the
legislature consist Of approaching the
various members of the Senate and
House on measures that you wish
to put through or oppose?
A. That is the way l do. " = y 1
act as anybody else does in the inter
est of legislation they are interested
in, whether they represent the
Union, or the Miners Union,
or any other organization. l have
been doing it for years and l am
going to continue to do it and l make
no apologies for it to anybody.
@. You would oppose legislation
that would render it impossible or
stop you from doing that?
A. l wouldn't necessarily oppose
it. l would say that this legislature
hasn't any power to enact any legis-
lation denying me or any other citi-
zen TIE right to oppose legislation.
@. If the legislature did pass such
a law, you would feel it was I'M
constitutional?
A.. I would disregard it, l think.

Interest Is Growing in
Townsend Plan in Butte

In the last few weeks, all over
the nation, new officers have been
elected or old ones reelected to look
after the affairs of this ever-growing
organization. A majority Of the last
years officers of Club No. l, Butte,
were voted back in office to continue
their good work.
President, Park Lea; secretary,
Elizabeth Gill, and treasurer. Mrs.
Penney, were reelected, with Mrs.
Harry Drew, one of our most faithful
workers, being elected vice presi-
dent. The members then elected the
advisory committee consisting of
Henry Pissot, Mr.. Goggin, Harry
Drew, Miss Mayme O'Connell, and
Mrs. Jones, who gave their promises
of cooperation and assistance in all
affairs for the promotion of the
principles Of this great recovery
plan. The head or chairmen of the
several standing committees, on the
recommendation of the advisory
committee, were elected in a very
democratic and harmonious spirit.
At our last meeting our president
was in a very emphatically educa-
tional mood and gave a lecture that
was very instructive. He was re-
warded by a crowd of very attentive
listeners.
He also gave his blessing to the
new club that is now in the making
in Butte and paid a very high COM
pliment to Mr.. Wayne Pratt, who is
taking the lead and who is one of
the oldest members of Club No. 1.
He also said if he could be of any
help in speeding its progress his
services were at their command.
With the H. j.. M. almost unani-
mously passed by Montana's two
Legislative bodies, memorializing
the Congress of the U. S. to pass
House Record Bill No. 2 at this ses-
sion Of Congress at Washington, and
never forgetting the support given
by our representatives and senator
from Silver Bow county, together
with their colleagues from other
counties, the members of the Town
send Clubs and their friends in Mon
tana and especially in Butte, are
very much encouraged and expect
a large growth in membership and
interest between now and the 1910
election.

Marlin Resigns From
(l0 Board, 00 Replies
He Was Already Fired

NEW YORK.-(FP)-Homer Mar
tin, former president of the United
Automobile Workers, announced his
resignation from the CLIO executive
council during a visit here Jan. 25
to obtain legal counsel for his fight
with the JAW executive board. He
also revealed for the first time that
he has called a convention in Detroit
for Mar. 4.
Martins resignation drew an i'm
mediate retort from CLIO vice presi-
dents Sidney Hillman and Philip
Murray that the resignation was
meaningless as he had already been
fired by the JAW executive board
which suspended him and elected
R. j. Thomas in his place.
The former JAW chief in an open
letter of resignation to John L. Lewis
attacked the CLIO president as a
dictator who with his "Stalinist
allies" was seeking to rob the JAW
of its autonomy.
He accused the JAW board and
the CLIO of wrecking his negotiations
with the Ford Motor Co. and claimed
the support of an Overwhelming
majority of rank and file union
members. ''The principles and poll
cies of a democratic labor move
ment" had been betrayed, he
charged.
The joint Murray-Hillman reply
cited Martins blast as further in
dication of the haphazard irrespon-
sible methods he has employed in
his relations with the JAW, with
officials of the CLIO and with the
automobile manufacturers. Martins
letter is a collection of desperate
distortions penned by a defeated
man."
The CLIO leaders observed that the
JAW had not severed its connec-
tons with the CIO, adding that the
loyalty of the auto workers to the
CLIO SIS not questioned" They
charged Martin with breaking last
September's peace agreement with
the UAW executive board and also
violating the agreement between the
CLIO and the board made in Pitts
burgh during the CLIO convention.
Martins convention will be packed
with his henchmen and not with
elected spokesman of the auto work
ers, Hillman and Murray said.
The exchange of statements fol-
lowed ounter-suspensions by Mar
tin and anti-Martin groups in the
JAW. The anti-Martin group on
the board, which includes Is of the
boards "a members, suspended Mar
tin after they had been ousted by
Martin and his four allies on the
board.
Martin said he had retained Frank
P. Walsh and Frank Munholland,
counsel fur the Railway Labor
Executives Assn, as counsel. He
was accompanied here by William
Munger, former managing editor of
The Auto Worker, and member of
the Lovestone group accused of
directing Martins activities.

Railroad Unions Ask
Regular Procedure in
Adjusting Complaints

On January 26, 1889, an article
appeared in the Montana Labor
News describing the appearance of
a committee of railroad men before
the Cascade Trades and Labor AS
sembly asking the central labor body
of Great Falls to pass a resolution
changing the limit Of hours Of work
which railroad men may engage in.
1t was reported that the Cascade
assembly concurred in the request
and adopted the resolution.
Official representatives of the rail
road organizations upon being in
formed of this action commended that
the group which appeared before the
Cascade assembly had misrepresent-
ed the case and did not officially
represent the Grand Lodge, further
more that the railroad men r not
working excessive hours. Officials
of the Railroad Brotherhood state
that all contracts entered into by the
organization have been made
through collective bargaining adopt
ed by the railroad organizations.
The request of the committee before
the Cascade assembly, it is alleged,
if continued, and if recognized by
other officially constituted labor
bodiae ran On1v result in the diseOI11-
ton of their own bodies and their
own contracts.
It is urged that unions henceforth
recognize only bona fide committees
and officials delegated by unions to
represent them before other union
organizations. The merits or de-
merits Of the controversy, if there
are any, should be taken up through
the grand lodges of the railroad
brotherhoods.

Excerpts From Report
OF Committee Named
To Investigate Lobby
Activities OF The Utilities

While browsing around in the law
library at the Capitol we happened
on a copy of the House Journal of
the Twenty-fourth Session O935)
Idly glancing through its pages our
eyes CHANGED to light on the report
of a special committee appointed on
the 36th legislative day of that ses-
sion to investigate the political and
lobbying activities of public utilities
and other corporations and persons.
1t would appear from the record of
the House and Senate so far this
session that the conditions disclosed
by the committee in 1885 are still
existent and probably in a greater
degree than at that time.
Here are a few choice excerpts
from that report:
REPORTS OF SELECT
COMMITTEES"
Your committee recognizes that
the brief time at its disposal and the
absence Of two key witnesses from
the state, Mr.. J.. H. Dickey, manager
of the Butte Post, and Mr.. Leon
Shaw, business manager of the Bill
lings Gazette, make it impossible for
the committee to have covered ade-
quately its assignment.
The probing of the witnesses ex-
amined and the disclosures their
testimony reveals serves to prove
not only the magnitude Of the task
which was assigned our committee,
but the Importance of the work and
the necessity of the continuance of
the effort of legislatures to come,
and the very great need of legisla-
ton to remedy what is, beyond any
question of doubt, a primary evil in
the state Of Montana and a major
reason why legislatures fail to carry
out the will of the people who select
their personnel.
The testimony of the witnesses re-
veals an efficiently organized plan,
participated in by some of the great
corporations of the state and certain
important public utilities, not only
to elect to public offices candidates
favorable to their interest, but to
warp the purpose of legislators
selected and to destroy, in a large
measure, the usefulness of Montana's
legislative assembly to the people of
the state Of Montana.
The testimony of the witnesses re-
veals the fact that headquarters are
maintained in Helena in the offices
of one David Pier in the National
Bank building across the street from
the Placer Hotel, where complete
records of all legislation proposed
and, apparently the records of the
legislators themselves and their atti-
tudes on various public matters, are
maintained and where the lobbyists
for these corporations gather daily,
while the legislature is in session.,
and confer frequently during the
interim.
Witnesses testified that the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company and
the Montana Power Company, for
instance, cooperate in the matter of
defeating legislation which they
would consider adverse to the inter
ests of either of these corporations
and in the promotion of legislation
which might be of interest to them.

Dizzy Dean won 30 games for

victories are the kind that count
against the top teams.
MODEST GUY
It's amazing how little you
hear OF this shy ex-third base
man of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Remember when Dean was win
ming all his games? Radio sta
tons had to change their wave
lengths to get away from
Deans static. He was good, he
knew IL, and he wanted every
body else To know 1t.
Walters doesn't even like 10
talk about his pitching. He
likes TO spin yarns about the
good oil days, wiRn he was
playing n poor third base for the
poor Phiflies. His ambition il
10 stop pitching and get back ON

workmanlike cuss. he seems 10

well licked, and would like to

With Jimmy Wilson's expert
ment with walters having
proved so successful. I am
rstheI worried for the future of
baseball as we know it today.
/ can see ambitious managers at
training camps next year greet
ing each incoming third base
man with something like this:
Get any idea of playing third
base out OF your head, buddy.
Get out there and pitch. II
Bucky Walters could do it you
can"
This will eventually necessi-
tate the elimination of third base
from the game because there
won't be anybody to play it. AS
/ lie here in my opium den.
visualizing the game of tomor-
row, 1 see that the players are
going TO have to run directly
from second base to home plate.
This will necessitate their
running through the pitchers
box, where the pitcher will be
allowed to tag them if he can.
because he will always be an ex-
third baseman and still have the
powers of that position.
