Montana labor news., 1939-11-09

The following resolution was
passed at the Oath annual conven-
ton of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union held at Glasgow
October 10 to 81:
Resolution No. rs
1t is known to all of us al this
convention that a very serious con-
dition is prevailing at our state uni
versity and something must be done
or we will lose our academic stand
ing as one of the outstanding uni
versities of the United States, there
fore
We request the immediate dis
missal of President George Finlay
Simmons as president of the Mon
tana State University at Missoula
for the following reasons:
/. For the dictatorial powers as
sumed by him over the teachers and
students.
2. His infringement on the AGA
demic freedom of our University.
3. Because of the fact that he goes
so far with his dictatorship that he
refuses to abide by the decisions of
the supreme court of the state of
Montana.
The above resolution indicates
that the trade and industrial labor
unions, railway men and the farm
unions of the state of Montana have
Joined hands in a determined effort
to protect the teachers union on the
campus at the University of Mon
tana at Missoula.
There is not a dissenting element
in this combined group of workers.
Not only must the teachers union
be protected but the people must
be assured that subversive influ-
ences which have guided the des-
tinations Of the University of Mon
tana for the past several years must
cease and that the spirit of liberal
ism and truth which is trying to
assert itself must be given that
privilege without interference from
business or from politics or the cor
porate interests of the state.
Nothing in recent years has so
consolidated the thousands of work
ers of Montana as has the University
situation. It means that in the next
election the people r going to ask
those candidates who are running
for Governor where they stand on
this issue. 1t is the generality of the
people Of the state who have always
supported the greater University of
Montana in its demands for means
to properly carry on. It has always
been the common people who have
fought for a greater expansion of
University facilities. The small
group who has caused such trouble
at the University has been the one
who has been the least disposed to
assist the higher institutions of
learning when they were brought
face to face with the problem of
greater appropriations.

Indians Make Tom-Toms
Now of Old Auto Tubes

NIAGARA F'ALLS.-A new indus
try is booming here, thanks to the
ingenuity of Indian tribesmen and
gullibility of tourists.
Tom-toms made by the Tuscarora
Indians on their reservation here
are reported among the best sellers
by souvenir shops catering to tour
lists.
The drums, however, have only
noise in common with the instru-
ments once used to beat time for
war dances. They are constructed
from old inner tubes and decorated
with discarded oil cans.
According to Ray Fadden, teach
er at the Tuscarora reservation
school, the tom-tom industry origi-
mated when an inventive Indian pu-
pill created one of the drums to at
tract visitors to a display of bead
work offered for sale. There were
more demands for the drums than
for the beads.

!, 1000 on a Side Chess
Match to Run Until 1941

CHICAGO.-The worlds greatest
chess match, that between 1000
British players and 1000 in the Unit
ed States, is still on and is not ex-
pected to be finished until 194l.
Since it began in January, 1886,
more than 20 players have died. Ac-
cording to the normal death rate
another 20 may die before play ends.
Every move is sent by postcard,
and about $4,000 Of these will have
crossed the Atlantic by the time the
last move is made. The total cost
Of the correspondence will be near
$500. London's latest report
showed that England led by TIA
games to Isl, while 81 games had
been drawn. W. Ritson Morry, an
attorney Of Warwickshire, England,
who organized the match, said: by
the time the match ends some warm
friendships will have been made"

Doctor Finds Race in Brazil
With No Worries, Nerves
Or Divorces
STONE AGE PEOPLE

NEW YORK. 49, A place where
there is no worry, perhaps the last
Of its kind on earth, today gave civil
lization a startling medical message.
The place: The jungle home Of the
Wal Wal Indians in northern Brazil.
The message: These Indians have
no heart disease. no high blood pres
sure. no cerebral hemorrhage.
The messenger: DR.. William Hall
Holden, chief surgeon Of the Amer
ican Museum Of Natural History,
who early this year made the first
medical study Of this possibly last
Of completely primitive peoples.
Their immunity is not due to a
different physical makeup. In test
which violated a sacred taboo, DR..
Holden discovered that they possess
the same capacity for high blood
pressure as other humans.
Stone Age People.
The Wal Wal, he says, have a
few steel knives, obtained from In
dians nearer civilization. Otherwise
they are still entirely a Stone age
people. Their home is the Sierra
Akari mountains. He described four
months travel to reach them in
Natural History, the museums pub
iication.
They ive," he said, ''in one Of
the densest jungles on earth, undis-
turbed by man. 1t is a country of
peace and quiet, literal lost world,
tropical fairyland."
When Dr. Holden and a single
white companion, William G. Hass-
Ter, photographer. reached the Wal
Wal, both medical tests and pho
tography were welcomed. The vii
lagos were about a days travel
apart. This distance the Indians call
short walk" Time has no mean
ing to them.
Strong on the Dogs.
They live in large, communal
houses. with conical roofs. Each
holds 25 to 80 persons and 40 to so
dogs. These 'fairyland" dogs are
reasonably quiet.
DIR. Holden took the blood pres
sures Of the older people. Their
ages he said, were uncertain, be-
cause they reckon years from one
rainy season to the next, but they
live to a ripe old age.
Analyzing the reasons, DR.. Holden
declared:
The Wal Wais never have to wor-
ry how they will pay their grocer's S
bill. There are no telephones to
drive them to distraction. A hus-
band never worries about how he
can buy his wife new hat or dress.
Their personal adornments are pro-
cured from the brilliantly plumaged
birds that fly overhead; and as for
clothes-they wear none.
There is no stock market to send
ones blood pressure skyrocketing.
These fortunate people are not for
ever lodging automobiles or watch
ing red lights in their hurry to keep
this appointment or that. There are
no such things as being late for
work or punching the time clock.

BATH, N. Y.-Ernest Biegaj-
ski plans to make a trip from
New York to London in barrel.
Biegajski made a voyage be-
tween Cleveland and Buffalo two
years ago in a barrel of the
same design he plans to use for
his transoceanic voya ge. He es-
Inmates the ocean trip will take
40 to 60 days.
The barrel, he said, will be six

WET WEATHER
| VS.. RAINCOATS
Industry To Get Break After
An Unusually Long
Dry Spell
TO BOOST BUYING

AKRON, OHIO.-Acting on The
high school grammar principle thai
two negatives make a positive,
Americas raincoat industry this
winter hopes to use rain deficit
to wipe out sales deficit and there
by return to normal production for
the first time since 1929.
According to rainwear experts
who have made study of U. S.
weather bureau statistics, the Unit
ed States is passing out of cycle of
unusually dry weather during which
rain deficits" accumulated through
out the nation, most notably in the
great plains areas. In the East
and along the Atlantic seaboard,
scanty rainfall resulted in a rain
deficit which for the past five years
averages SO per cent below normal.
Drop in RaincOats.
This dry cycle, coupled with a ma
tional trend to make the old rain
coat do showed raincoat production
down. experts declare, from
$4,000, 900 in 1929 to an annual aver
age of only $4,000, 900 in the nine in
tervening years.
However, recent Smithsonian in
stitution surveys declare the dry
cycle is ended, and this prediction
is borne out by weather bureau fig
ures for the month of September in
which precipitation Of $50 inches,
$50 above normal, was recorded.
With October rain deficit averag-
ing 33 per cent below normal for
the past five years, raincoat manu-
facturers are anticipating a boom
time demand as the nation restocks
its badly depleted rainy day ward
robe.
Scientific preparedness for the
downpours ahead, manufacturers
reports show, has taken the form
of new fabrics designed to replace
the old-fashioned heavy, sticky and
uncomfortable raincoats of the past.
New this year is silk fabric 'dura-
nized' by the application of what
scientists call koroseal a rubber
like material made from coke,
limestone and plasticizer.
To Stimulate Buying.
This advanced treatment is said
to make the hghtest fabrics water
proof, sun-proof, acid-proof, odor-
less and washable These new light
weight offerings of science, in COM
bination with the wet weather ex-
pected throughout the winter, may
be expected to stimulate buying and
result in increased sales and en-
ployment in the manufacturing and
retail raincoat industries.
Production at rainwear factories
is already running at stepped-up
tempo, it is reported, to fill new or
ders from outlets who moved their
entire stocks during the moist
month of September. In some cities,
it was said, sales were so brisk that
raincoa4s were placed on sale at
notion counters when customers
swamped regular rainwater depart
ments.
