NOTICE
The following letter was re-
ceived by Bert w. Kronmiller,
County Attorney of Big Horn
County, Montana:
Helena, Montana,
March 16, 1889
TO ALL COUNTY
ATTORNEYS:
Complaints have been made
that some retail stores and
wholesale warehouses delivering
goods to such stores are violat-
ing the Eight Hour Law, Section
3073.1 r.. G. M. 1885. We think
it advisable that you notify
such stores and warehouses by
notice in your local papers, or
in such other manner as ap-
pears to you proper, that this
law should be obeyed and that
unless such practice ceases that
it will be necessary to prosecute
such violations.
Some time ago we asked all
county attorneys to give notice
that this law had been upheld
by our Supreme Court. Perhaps
there may be some who are
not advised of the law and the
penalty provided for violations.
There may be others who are
wilfully disregarding it and,
of course, they should be prose-
cuted.
We shall appreciate very much
your cooperation.
Very sincerely yours,
H. J. FREEBO URN
Attorney General.

 At any rate when the names appeared there was furry of in- dignation among government em- ployees.
 "Sordid procedure said Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 Laughs and Shrugs
 Dies went right ahead insist ing the government departments ought to quit stalling" and give him help for work he thinks is i'm portant. Still, the help is not forth coming.
 Ask Dies about the politics ir his investigation, and he laughs and shrugs his shoulders.
 I'm running for nothing more than my own seat in Congress- he says And who says fellow hasn't got a right to do that?"
 Whisper has it he's candidate for Senator, Governor of Texas even President or Vice-President Hes better than lots of presiden- tial nominees I've seen in the last 20 years said the late Rep. J. Will Taylor of Tennessee, "and I don't mean Hoover"
 Martin Dies is pretty thick skinned about 1t all.
 Hell, yes," he says. I've made mistakes. Who could get hold of bearcat like this without making mistakes? And expect controver- sy But everything's on the record I've proved all these ism fellows are violating law. I've conducted non-partisan investigation. I've never consulted MT. Garner about this investigation, and 90 percent of the American people outside the i cities want me to go ahead. It's all up to Congress.
 And 1t is.

WASHINGTON-Its as plain on the record as the nose on your face that Martin Dies and the Roosevelt administration don't trust each other
 The head of the committee on un-American activity has been dubbed an outstanding zany by the Administrations Secretary of h. terior, Harold L. Ickes Dies has accused Administration favorites of harboring Communists and try ing to laugh him into the dunce's corner.
 There are whispers around Washington that Dies is out to get the New Deal, or at least the so- called left-wingers in it, which, if true, would undoubtedly do no harm to his friend MT. Garner's $ campaign for the presidential nom- ination
 Trouble Over Money
 The trouble started with the first Congressional resolution au- thorizing Dies to give the country $25,000 worth of subversive ma terial.
 Not enough money" said Dies, which was quite true. Witnesses alone cost $5 day and transporta- tion, not to mention the lawyers investigators, statisticians, stenog- raphers and secretaries required for complete survey of any given subject.
 Aware it was handing Dies chicken feed, Congress requested the Roosevelt Administration to supply experts from the govern ment departments. But none was forthcoming.
 The Justice and Labor depart ments and the WPA had nothing but polite excuses to offer this friend of Cactus Jack" Gamers In fact, Dies said the only offer of help he got came from the LaFol- lette Civil Liberties Committee and he branded that an effort to sabotage his committees work.
 Then came the Shirley Temple

episode, wherein Witness J. B Matthews, former national chair man of the American League for Peace and Democracy, testified Communistic organs were using fa- nous people as decoys. Among these, he said was Shirley Temple
 They've found dangerous Com munists in Hollywood, led by little Shirley Temple" guffawed Sec retary Ickes.
 Perhaps it was fortunate that Shirley Temple was born an American" tee-heed Madame Sec retary Perkins.
 They're trying to ham-string and discredit the investigation, VI yelled Dies. But there does seem to be generaly agreement now that the committees early work was pretty shoddy. Dies himself con- cedes that 10 percent of the witt nesses were crackpots.
 Just before the November cleo tions of 1888, Dies swung the spot light of his investigation west ward, and the testimony began to singe New Dealers fighting hard for re election
 Puts Heat on Murphy
 When Dies let a witness or two turn the heat on Governor Mur- phy for not stopping the Flint sit down strikes, the President him. self stepped into the fray. He said the committee was un-Americar for letting witnesses say things to besmirch candidate just before election time. That, he said, was influencing elections.
 'The President hasn't read the record" retorted Dies. Hes mis- informed" But anyway, a sizeable section of the Democratic party accused Dies of helping his owr party lose 70 seats in Congress ir 1888, as well as the governorshir of Michigan.
 More recently, Dies witnesses testified that Communist front or ganizations' were using the names of the President and Mrs. Roose- welt to affect an aura of respecta- bility to influence wavering pros poets. Both the President and Mrs Roosevelt considered the accusa. tions unfit for comment, although Mrs. Roosevelt indicated her will ingness to appear before the Die! committee "in the interest O. 1 truth"
 Not long ago, the committed read into the record 565 name. of government employees on tht mailing list of the American League for Peace and Democracy There was no intimation that hese people had anything to dt with Communism, although Die! charges the League is a front fol Communism.
