West passed at first, hoping that his vulnerable opponents would get into trouble. Later on, he had to make very strong bids to show that he really had a good hand. AS a matter of fact, both he and his part ner bid with more optimism than discretion, and their small slam con- tract needed skillful play.

GREAT FALLS ALLIANCE
ASKS FOOD STAMPS
Method to Relieve Hunger,
Surplus Explained.

The Workers Alliance organization
of Cascade county is putting on
campaign to call attention of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace to the
need for the national food stamp
plan being put into effect at Great
Falls.
The Alliance has distributed a cir
cular explaining the plan to workers
and merchants in Great Falls which
reads as follows:
Food for stamps By this simple
means the federal government has
undertaken to solve the paradox of
starvation in the land of plenty. BY
this means, the agriculture depart
ment, through its federal surplus
commodities corporation, has sought
to bring to the mouths of the hungry
the excess" agricultural products of
our hard-pressed farmers. By this
means, the equally hard-pressed 10
cal merchants are being enabled to
stimulate their sales and enjoy once
more the merry clang of a busy cash
register
The surplus commodities corpora
tons food stamp plan has been put
into operation in six cities in the
United States-Rochester, N. Y;
Dayton, Ohio; Seattle, Wash; Birm-
ingham, Ala; Potowatomie county,
Okla. Soon it is planned to extend
the program to from 35 to so cities.
It is even rumored that the Stamp
Plan my eventually be used to move
other surplus" commodities such as
clothes and merchandise other than
food.
The plan is voluntary-neither un-
employed, WPA workers or mer-
chants are forced to participate.
There will be two sets of stamps
orange ones and blue ones. These
stamps will be available to any per
son who is now eligible to receive
surplus commodities through the
surplus commodities corporation,
and, in addition, to all WPA work
ers and people receiving any form
Of public assistance, such as unem-
ployment benefits, old age assistance
and so on.
The orange stamps will be sold to
those eligible who wish to partici-
pate in the Food Stamp Plan at the

States.
@. About how many persons,
previously exempt, have been
brought under the federal old-age
insurance program by the amend
ments?
A. Approximately 100000.
@ What are the principal types
of employees brought under the pro-
gram by the amendments?
A. The principal new inclusions
are employees of national banks
employees of building-and-loan as
sociations, employees of state banks
which are members of the Federal
Reserve System, employees in mari
time service on American vessels,
and workers over the age of IS.
Q. What are the estimated addi-
tional costs of the amended insur-
ance program for 1910?
A. It has been estimated that the
additional costs will amount to ap-
proximately $68,OOO,OOO. This is in
addition to the $46,OOO,OOO which, it
is estimated, would have been spent
under the lump-sum provisions of
the original act. Thus, under the
amended act, the total amount esti-
mated to be paid in benefits in 1910
comes to some $114,0OO,O00.
Q. Are the nearly 28,O00,0OO work.
ers now covered by state unemploy-
ment insurance laws also covered
by this federal old-age insurance
program?
A. Almost all of them, although
some are in employments excluded
by the federal old-age insurance pro-
visions of the act.
@. Why is there a discrepancy in
the numbers covered by the job
insurance plan and those covered by
the old-age and survivors insurance
plan?
A. The principal reason is that the
latter is applicable to the employees
of every employer of even one per-
son, while the federal unemploy-
ment insurance provisions apply
only to those employees of persons
or business establishments employ
ing eight or more (under some state
laws this number is lower). Further
more, in old-age insurance, coverage
is continuing; once an account is
established for a worker, it stands
on the record until he retires or dies,
whereas under unemployment in
surance the worker goes in and out
of the system depending on his
current employment.

NLRB Policies Are Con-
demned in Resolution

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-The
CIO is on record unanimously con-
demniug the National Labor Rela-
tions Board for policies which "un-
dermine the basic purposes of the
Act" and urging all affiliates to
make "a most sparing and consid-
cred use of the Wagner Labor Act
in the future"
Convention speakers all advised
the unions to reply on organizing
the unorganized to achieve their
goal of collective bargaining for all
industrial workers.
The delegates rose and cheered a
resolution that sharply attacked the
board for its recent policy of ap-
.peasement of AFL and employer in
terests in the expense of the CIO
and in violation of the basic pur-
poses of the Wagner Act.

Near Southampton, England, dy-

hunters gun and the hunter was
killed. From Philadelphia, the Bull
dog Club cabled the British Bulldog
Club an invitation to take care of
thoroughbred dogs for duration of
the war.
Our prediction is that if the Brit
ish dog population isn't evacuated
in hurry the British rabbits will
kick every dog to death.

Change in the CIO constitution to

TREICHLER.
The Sunday Missoulian of Septem-
Der "a said in its editorial columns:
"But the American people can not
be deceived as long as the news
papers are free to print the news,
as long as free discussion is permit
ted, as long as every man has the
right to his opinion and to think
things out in the light of all the in
formation he can get. AS long as this
situation obtains, we need not worry
about dictators."
On September 13 the Missoulian
printed a statement by the state
board of education to the effect
"That there is serious dissent and
disloyalty among a small group of
faculty members which if not
checked promptly will permanently
impair the educational value of the
State University"
A week or ten days after this an
nouncement a citizens committee of
two leading ministers and profess
sional man in Missoula made a poll
of the faculty members who cared
to express themselves on the boards
action. A majority of the faculty
returned secret ballots to the COM
mittee. The committee received four
times as many votes for having the
state board rescind their action as
they found in any sympathy with
the boards action. This information
was given to the editor of the Mis-
soulian for public information, but
it was refused on the ground that
the Missoulian was being neutral in
the whole affair.
A former Montana man, who now
lives in Minnesota and who knows
the University and Missoula well,
says that Missoula is exactly the
wrong size to have a state university
The town is too small to be able to
keep its hands off the business ad-
vantages that can be wangled
through the university management
but too large for the university to
be able to tell it to keep hands off
of state institution. Perhaps here
is still a good argument for consoli-
dating the six parts of the Larger
University of Montana.
Missoula people have known for
some time that Missoula business
men put DR.. Simmons into the uni
versity presidency against the better
judgment of the university faculty
who knew his record and his one
years performance on the universi-
ty staff. The same people are now
learning that these business men are
still having their way with the Uni
versity. This time they are remov-
ing Professor Atkinson, who has
dared to lend hand to organized

OPEN FORUM
An Analysis Of The
Board OF Education

An item that should show the
people of the state that Ayers is not
shooting straight is the fact that he
has appointed Bill Boone as mem
Der of the state board of education.
Boone might be good man for the
job, but the fact that Howard Toole,
who is the attorney for President
Simmons, took him under his wing
and into his offices after Boone had
completed a term in the House of
Representatives, does not look good
at this time.
1t looks to us as if it would have
been much better to have appointed
someone who was not so likely to
have been prejudiced in the matter
of the people of Montana VS.. Presi-
dent Simmons in trying to get the
mess at the University Strengthened
out. That appointment would ap-
pear to be a slap in the face to
everyone in the state who believes
in having the University operated
as democratic institution rather
than under dictator.
We hope that we are mistaken in
Boone and that he will be big
enough to keep out of this Universe
ty mess as a member by not voting
or trying to influence votes of board
members.
