administration officials to start a
third term movement with a confer
ance Of progressive leaders" of IL
western states.
Writer Finds c. |. O. Chaotic
Benjamin Stolberg, labor writer
declared in a recent magazine article
that the c.. |. 0. was Gin chaos" and
had dwindled to about 1,250,0O0 mem
oers. His figures have been verified
oy responsible labor authorities in
Washington.
There is onh llasic reason for this
dsintegration of the C. l.. o." Stol-
berg wrote. "All other reasons flow
from it. The communist party, which
penetrated the C. l. O. from the be-
ginning, has increasingly dominated
its policies, subverted its purposes
dissipated its energies, and disrupted
It's unions"
The communist infestation and rev.
olutionary objectives of the c. |. O
were revealed for the first time by a
series of articles in The Chicago Tri.
bune in March, 1887, at time wher
Mr.. Stolberg was writing glowingly
umphs. The Tribune at that time
published the names of prominent G.
! |. O. leaders whom Lewis himself haC
denounced as communists, as well as
the names Of many communist c. |
| 0. organizers.
Three Run Headquarters
Stolberg now asserts and his con
tentions are confirmed by the evi
dence of the Dies committee, that the
national headquarters of the C. |. O
is dominated by three men, who il
turn adhere sedulously to the Stalinis
party line. They are John Brophy
executive director of the G. |. o.; Lee
Pressman, general council, chief OF
! Lewis brain trust, and liaison Officer
with the Roosevelt administration, il
which he used to be a minor brain
truster, and Len de Caux, chief prop
agandist and editor of the c.. |. 0
| News.
In 1926 Brophy ran against Levi!
for the presidency of the United Min'
Workers and in 1923, when Broph,
and his communist associates sough
20 gain control Of the union, Lewis
expelled him as Communist stooge.
Benjamin Gitlow, general secretar.
of the communist party at that time
swore before the Dies committee tha
funds were sent from Moscow t,
finance both Brophy's campaign il
1926 and the organization later Of tn,
National Miners Union.
James c. Carey, national secretar.
of the c. |. O., is not communist
but is closely surrounded by them il

union, according to the evidence O

BOARD ORDERS HALT
ON LEADER SYSTEM

The state railroad and public SER
vice commission has ordered two
Billings drugstores to discontinue
selling ginger ale below cost, and
has advised the firms that it will
take action against them if other
commodities or drugs are sold be-
low cost.
The suit was brought against the
Red Cross drugstore and the Buy
for-Less drugstore by the railroad
board acting as the state fair trade
commission. The specific charge
was that the stores were selling Gil
quot Club ginger ale below cost.
In its order the board definitely
pointed out that further actions
would result from continued selling
below cost of any commodities or
drugs. Violation of the boards or
ders, under terms of the trade act,
is punishable by minimum fine of
$1,000, the board said.

CAR COUNTERS BEING
MISTAKEN FOR SPEED
TRAPS AND DESTROYED

The state highway department
has been troubled lately by motor
lists who apparently believe that car
counters set up in various parts of
Montana are speed traps and who
destroy the machines switches, ac-
cording to D. A. McKinnon, state
highway engineer.
The counters are small wooden
boxes with internal machinery that
is worked when cars pass over thin
rubber tubes stretched across the
highawy. The machines give the de-
partment check on the amount of
traffic On any section of road where
they are used.
Mckinnon said some drivers be-
lieve the machines are set up so a
cars speed can be checked between
each two boxes and that some driv-
ers are putting on their brakes and
skidding their wheels across the
rubber utbes. tearing them out of
the machines. He appealed to all
motorists to help keep the machines
in operation.

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK

Calling all citizens-for Fire Pre-
vention Week, which is to be OBJ
served this year from October to
IA.
Fire Prevention Week marks
definite, intensive effort to save
your life and your property from
the ravages of fire. It is an intense
ly personal thing, which comes
straight home to all of US.
Insurance organizations, fire de-
partments, public officials, news
papers, tn radio, civic clubs ard or
ganizations-all will work coopera-
lively together to make the Week
a success. They are working for
you, and their hope is to enlist your
support and interest They will Of
fer you every opportunity to learn
about fire its cause, the magni-
tude of its destruction, the means
of controlling, fighting, and pre-
venting it. There is nothing dull
about these lessons-to the contra
ry, they are intensely dramatic and
interesting.
And they are much more than
that. When you learn how to in
'spect your home for hazards. and
apply what you learn, it may be
the means of saving that home from
ruin. Vastly more important, it may
be the means of saving the lives of
your family from one of the most
horrible of deaths. Nothing pays
greater dividends than fire preven-
ticn.
50 do your part when Fire Pre-
vention Week comes. Observe it
with an open, inquiring mind. And
when the Week is over, remember
what you have learned, and keep on
using your knowledge. One Of the
things this country needs most is a
nationally observed Fire Proven
ton Year"
