Labor Leaders AS Preachers

One of the interesting features in connec-

occupying pulpits in number of churches
on the first Sunday during the sessions of

Tribute to A. F. of L. Accounting
System

Unqualified commendation of the account
ing system applied by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor under the direction of Sec
retary- Treasurer Frank Morrison, featured
the report Of the Auditing Committee to the
annual convention of the Federation in Gin
cinnat Ohio.
In this connection it should be recalled
that the fiscal year which the Auditing Com
mittee's report covered began on August 81,
1888, when the Federation had balance on
hand Of $443 631.19. During the fiscal year
the receipts totaled $1,000, ,24970, making a
grand total of $2,243, ,88O89 The expenses
totaled $1,697 ,37653, with the balance on
hand August 81 1889, totaling $546,5O4.36.
The Auditing Committee consisted of
James w. Close, chairman; c. B. Noxon, Sec
retary and Frank Hasten.
In their report to the convention, the Audit
ing Committee said:
''We have examined and audited all the
books and records of the American Fedora
ton of Labor covering all of the financial
transactions for the period beginning Sep
tember l, 1888, and ending August 81, 1889
1--WE are pleased to report that all books
and records were found correct in every re-
spect We have personally counted the Sc
curities recorded on the books of Secretary
Treasurer Morrison as being owned by the
American Federation of Labor, and found
them correct as recorded. We are listing
below these securities. We have verified the
cash balances on hand through the medium
of letters written by the banks where funds
are on deposit These letters certify as to
the amount on deposit to the credit of the
American Federation of Labor at the close
of business August 81, 1889"
After including the total receipts and the
total expenses Of the A. F. of L. under each
classification for the year the committee de-
clared
eve wish to advise that we made a careful
study of the bookkeeping system employed
by the American Federation of Labor, and
are favorably impressed with the manner in
which transactions are recorded. The sys-
tenn is well adapted to the purpose for which
it is intended.
Finally, we wish to express our apprecia-
ton to Secretary Morrison and his assistants
for the cooperation extended to us in the per-
formance of our work"

Suppression of Liberal Thought

The lot of university professor in that
preserve of the Anaconda Copper Company
otherwise known as Montana is no bed of
roses. Two years ago Professor Philip
Keeney, who had been librarian for six years
at the university in Missoula, was dismissed
without notice or hearing. Since then the
American Association of Professors and the
American Federation of Teachers have in
vestigated and upheld Professor Keeneys
position, and he has won his legal case for
reinstatement in both the District Court and
the Supreme Court of Montana. Now, how
ever. the state Board of Education has asked
for the designations of Mr.. Keeney-who was
allowed to return but was relegated to small
Jobs and otherwise humiliated-and four
other professors on the ground that they have
failed to cooperate" All but one have been
at their posts for many years. The immedi
ate agent in this attempted purge seems to
be President Simmons, who was appointed
in 1885 over the practically unanimous oppo-
sition of the faculty. The deeper reasons lie
with the interest" s"-old-fashioned but real
in the state headed by the A. c. M. One
of the professors concerned has been active
in the state labor movement. Another, H. c.
Merriam, has been for years one of the most
intelligent and liberal patrons of talent and
independent thought in the Northwest. The
high moguls of Montana have never liked the
type-the record Of the university is full of
dismissals and investigations of such men,
We hope this latest attack will have the
vigorous attention of the academic organiza-
tons and of laymen who have a stake in
academic freedom-The Nation.

officials ignore the materialiStic work con-
nected with managing the everyday affairs
of their unions and ascend into the spiritual
aspects of the organized labor movement.
This practice was continued this year at
Cincinnati, Ohio the program being arranged
by James Myers, Industrial Secretary of the
Federal Council of the Churches of Christ
in America.
The general theme of the Sunday services
was the Church and Labor, with number
of outstanding labor union leaders discussing
the subject.
William Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, spoke at the Ninth
Street Baptist Church, Herbert H. Elvin,
Ffaternal Delegate from the British Trade
Union Congress- spoke at the Madisonville
Methodist Church; Spencer Miller, Jr., Di-
rector of the Workers Educational Bureau
of America, delivered a radio address under
the auspices of the Council of Churches and
also preached at Calvary Episcopal Church;
Professor George Counts, president of the
American Federation of Teachers, spoke at
the Lincoln Park Baptist Church; John B.
Robinson, vice president of the Journeymen
BARRIERS International Union, spoke at the
St Peters Evange Congregational
Church; Roy NJ Brewer, president of the
Nebraska Federation of Labor, spoke at the
Columbia Baptist Church; M. P Webster,
vice president of the Sleeping Car Porters,
spoke at the A. M E. Zion Church, and Ken
meth l. Taylor, president of the Massachu-
setts State Federation of Labor, spoke at the
College Hill Presbyterian Church.
1t goes without saying that the members
of these Cincinnati churches received we'll
defined and constructive information regard
ing the mutual relationship that should exist
between organized labor and organized re-
igion, for surely higher living standards and
better economic conditions for the masses in
America, which are among the objectives of
organized labor, are certainly not opposed by
the Church

ALL unions INITIATE
PROGRAM TO PROTECT
DISCHARGED pR0FS AT
MONTANA UNIVERSITY

The following announcement is
being sent to all farm and labor
unions in Montana to acquaint them
with conditions at the University:
In December, 1885, the State Board
of Education appointed DR.. George
F. Simmons president of the State
University even though he was op-
posed, in a recorded vote, by all the
members of the faculty, except one.
1t is to be noted, however, that he
was actively supported by Missoula
Mercantile Co. executives.
Ever since DIR. Simmons assumed
office there has been trouble, scan
dal dissention, Investigations, law
suits, contempt of court proceedings,
and constant disruption of the nor
NAL work of the University. Stu
dent enrolment has decreased since
1886 while enrolment at the State
College has increased by leaps and
bounds.
Mrs LeClaire was dismissed with
out explanation.
Prof p o. Keeney, librarian, was
illegally dismissed. And when Prof.
Keeney had won his District Court
and State Supreme Court cases and
the University was ordered to re-
instate him, Simmons locked him
out" of the library and is now being
sued for contempt of court.

years service, was placed on a
month-to-month tenure.
DR., Paul C. Phillips, vice presi-
dent of the University, was slandered
and induced to resign under false
promises.
Last April, DR.. Simmons recon-
mended to the State Board of Edu-
cation that Mr.. j. B. Speer, bust
ness manager of 80 years service, be
replaced by George Shepard's broth
er-in-law. Shepard is attorney and
lobbyist for the Missoula Mercantile
Co. The board did not approve Sim
mons recommendation.
Now the State Board of Educs-
ton has asked for the designations
of Prof. E. A. Atkinson, of the psy-
chology department; DR.. N. J..
Lennes, head of the department of
mathematics; DR.. H. C. Merriam,
head of the English department and
Dean E. F. Mollet, dean of the School
of Pharmacy. These men have been
serving the University for periods
ranging from 18 to 35 years.
Prof. Atkinson was president of
the Missoula County Trades and La
Dor Council for year and half,
from January, 1888, to July, 1899.
By that time he had received so
many threats of reprisals that he
refused to be nominated for the posi-
ton again But he has had to pay
the price for being a good union
man.
1t is common knowledge around
Missoula that the Missoula Mercan-
tile Co. and DR.. Simmons are bitter
labor-haters, and that DR.. Simmons
intends to continue firing faculty
members until the University Teach
ers Union, Local No. 497, of the
American Federation of Teachers is
disbanded. This union is the only

Here's One For
Soup Makers
Says Dorothy Greig

In making vegetable soup
at home,
Remoue all trace of
doubt,
Put in a can of soup (coR-
denSed)
To sort of round it out.
The little stunt of adding a
can of condensed vegetable soup
to your own soup does wonders
to enrich its flavor and give 1t
heartier substance.
Along the same line is the
thrifty suggestion of simmering
the bones Of Sundays roast and
then adding condensed soup to
the resulting stock. The proper
tions are 1 can OF condensed
vegetable soup to every Ia cans
Of beef stock, using the soup can
as a measure. Or, as variation,
use condensed tomato soup In
place of the vegetable soup.
That's good. too.
