the feeling that he did not want to

he spoke, of the horror they spelled
for millions of men, women and

My mind turned to England, to

So here we are, in a world where
pain strikes into us. AS each day

feeling of hate may stir in many
breasts. Let us have nothing to do
with it. Let us know that plain,
everyday people everywhere may
have been weak, but that there has

West opened the jack OF hearts,
which held the trick, and continued
with the ten Of hearts. Mr.. Won
Zedtwitz trumped the second heart
and fully aware that East held all
five trumps. Immediately knocked
out the diamond ace. A third heart
lead brought Mr.. Won ZedtWitz down
to four trumpS. and he then played
a second diamond After trumping,
East made a fatal eror. While the
lead of a small club would have

trumps zone fewer than his own

CHEAPER Prices FOR
WINES WILL HELP

Wine prices to the consumer will
be lowered within the next few
weeks according to Administrator
L. M. A. Wass, of the State Liquor
Control Board The action of the
26th Legislative Assembly in re-
vising the tax schedule on wines is
responsible for this "break" for the
Montana wine drinker. The reduc-
tions are said to approximate 8 per
cent and cover both sweet and dry
wines, That the Montana reduction
in consumer prices will meet with
the approval of both the consumer
and the wineries supplying the state
Of Montana, is indicated by Carl r.
WilcoXson, Montana representative
for the Roma Wine Company of
California. 'The lowered wine prices
will be boon for those who drink
wine, for it has been our company's
experience that where wine is
readily available-as it is in Mon
tana-at fair prices, an increase in
consumer consumption is immediate
ly apparent" stated Mr.. Wilcoxson.

quoted the Dies committees in their own de-
fense. The alien-baiting bills introduced by
Representative Dies himself were being
circulated by these groups.
Soon after J. B. Matthews, whom records
of the Labor Board prove to have been
strike breaker, testified before it, the Dies
committee put him on its payroll. Earlier
it had Sullivan, a known anti-Semite, on its
payroll It's chief investigator today has
worked closely with the labor-hating Ma
tional Metal Trades Association.
AS if this were not enough, Dies wound
up his perfunctory questioning of George
Deatherage, self-proclaimed Fascist who ad-
mits tieup with German and Italian propa-
gandists by eagerly asking his help in going
after the reds"
How long, Washington wonders, will it be
before Dies hires Deatherage?
Montana labor news., 1939-06-15

The notorious Dies committee has at last
done something useful-it has exposed the
Dies committee.
Even its bumbling and half-hearted in
quiry into native Nazi-Fascist groups has led
right back to the committees own doorstep
Nearly a year ago Labors Non-Partisan
League submitted to the Dies committee spe-
cific evidence Of subversive activity Of the
type it is only now getting around to eXamin-
ing The committee was too busy then
smearing labor and the New Deal to pay
any attention.
The League offered documentary evidence
with names, dates and places. 1t showed
that one of the key figures in this sinister
activity was the committees own chief in
vestigator, one Edward Francis Sullivan.
Subsequently, the committee quietly
dropped Sullivan but it never repudiated the
slanders he had placed in the record nor did
it give those falsely accused chance to
appear. The committee never followed up
the Leagues tips.
The recent parade Of subversive characters
before the committee include some of the
same men identified by the League as Suli-
vans associates. Dies pretended he was
learning now for the first time about James
True and his "lkike killer" but it was all in
the reports the League sent him last August
While the committee ignored the Leagues
evidence, it proceeded throughout the Sum
mer and Fall to countenance vicious and false
attacks on the New Deal and labor. It per-
mitted irresponsible attacks on such men as
Frank Murphy, Elmer Benson and Culbert
Olson.
No committee that INDUCED in this type
of mud singing can ever be trusted to do
an honest job Of any sort The addition of
a liberal as window dressing and a brief
foray into Nazi-Fascist propaganda does not
remake this committee.
That the committee has not changed its
spots was evident in its lax examination Of
the star-spangled Fascists that appeared be-
for it. Indeed several of these witnesses

SAVE THE WAGNER ACT!

Who wants to "amend" the Wagner Labor
Act? Not Labor. Not progressive Ameri-
cans. Not the masses Of people who know
that Labor has the legal right to bargain
collectively.
Reactionaries want to amend the Act. They
want to cripple it, and to destroy the prin-
ciple Of collective bargaining
Is it a one-sided law? Consider that our
whole economic structure is one-sided-
against Labor. Put Labor and its legal rights
on the scales and it will still hit bottom a
lot quicker than big business and its super
structure of bought-and-p d-paid-for legislators
and courts.
And who says that the Wagner Act legal
ICES abuses. Have you ever heard Of the
injunction? OF employees suing unions and
officials for alleged damages? Employers
have managed to write plenty of laws to pro-
tect their interests But Labor has interests,
too
1t is said that the Act disrupts "amicable
relations" between workers and employers.
Put this in bold type: 95 per cent of the cases
that have come to the Board have been
settled, withdrawn or dismissed before the
Board has even got around to filing charges!
The Supreme Court upheld the Act in 1887;
since then there have been fewer strikes
than before Why? There's another way
to settle differences
Newspapers have been making lot of
noise about the Act Their big bass drum
is a real noise producer, but it's empty.
It's true that there are some people within
the labor movement who want to emasculate
the Act The law isn't perfect But it is
solid piece of legal protection for working
people, who have earned the right to collec-
tive bargaining by centuries of struggle,
sacrifice and suffering. Can we say without
shame that the Act is one-sided? We know
that society itself is so lopsided with exploit
ers of human labor that it can't even stand
up without props.
