that swept over all opposition last
season. Eastern piled up an 8-point
lead at the beginning and held part
of it throughout to defeat Tech,

Haycock and Francis Battista, both
guards, took two shots apiece at the
basket and registered each time for

Tech made its big bid and its one
threat to overcome Eastern during
the third quarter. Holding the
Capitol Hill boys scoreless, Eli Blank
Charlie Kendall and Moe Schulman
picked up points to take Tech
within 2 points of tying the score
After that splurge Tech was helpless
however, and in the last quarter the

Young Swedes Plan to
Probe Baltic's Depths

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. = Two
young Swedes are preparing to
make a descent to the bottom of
one of the deepest parts of the Baltic
sea some time this month.
They are an engineer named Sven
Otto Placer and an architect named
Walter Nathanson. They have a
steel globe practically ready for
their venture.
The place they have selected for
their descent is off Landsort-con-
sidered to be the deepest spot in
the Baltic with a depth of about
230 fathoms.
The globe is provided with win
doWs from which observations can
be made and photographs taken.
The exact details of the interior
have not been made public, but it
is stated that the two men will be
comfortably accommodated. The in
tention is that the globe shall not
be attached to any line, but will
be free to roll on the bottom.

Ostrich Slaughter Rises
With Demand for Pelts

CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Because only busters wear ostrich
feathers now half million ostriches
have been slaughtered in the Karroo
district of South Africa in the past
four years.
Ostrich feathers at one time
brought an income of $40, 100000 to
the union. White feathers, which
brought $500 and more pound in
the boom days before the World
war, can hardly be sold now at so
cents pound.
But as feathers have gone down
skins have gone up, and now ostrich
skins are selling at $125 each.
So the farmers are killing os-
triches for their skins, which are
sent to Britain, France and the
United States to be made into fancy
leather goods. The ostrich farms
of the Karroo are giving place to
fields of lucerne and vineyards.

Let Them Make the
World Safe This
ime

We hear and read some things
about Americas connection with
the war in Europe that seem bad
reasoning to us. They say that
America can't keep out-that she
must take her stand with the
democracies. We once took our
stand with the nations of Japan,
Russia, and Italy, nations that are
now such exemplars Of democracy.
We went to war; and won the
war, "to make the world safe for
democracy" After that war came
Mussolini, Hitler, and Stain.
worse thugs than Tamurlane or
Ghengis Khan.
They say that if the autocracies
win, the whole world will be next.
But the stars in their courses fight
against dictators. A successful
dictator must be both immortal
and infallible, and no man has yet
appeared to fill that bill. Grant
that the forces Of Hitler, Stain,
and Mussolini win. Then what?
They will be at each others
threats before the guns cool. Die
tators, like all other folk, will die,
and their empires will crumble
away. That is history, and his
tory doesn't lie.

Moss, Lowe. Byrne Charged
As Being 'Red-Eyed Radicals

While the logic used by some of
the business men of Missoula and
especially the mouthpiece for them
and Governor Roy E. Ayers, the
Missoula County Times, has been
the cause of many good laughs in
the past, the prize boner they have
pulled through this ACM-Montana
Power company subsidized sheet
was printed recently when they
charged G. M. Moss, Ray L. Lowe
and Ed Byrne with being red eyed
radicals"
Moss, a Republican representative
from Flathead county, was the brains
behind the conservative coalition of
Republicans and Democrats in the
House of Representatives during the
last session. Lowe, a business man
from Glendive, never failed to vote
with this conservative coalition. Ed
Byrne, a life insurance man from
Shelby, was the floor leader for the
conservative Democrats and was the
man responsible to Moss for the on
sentative Democratic vote.
If either of these men ever made
a liberal or progressive remark, it
must have been in their sleep. They
really believe in conservatism, which
they have a perfect right to in a
democracy. So TO have the ACM-
Montana Power Co. subsidized paper
call them radical certainly should
show the general public hal you
can believe nothing you read in the
Missoula County Times.
Here is the editorial printed in
the ACMPC sheet:
"SOme Of the red-eyed radicals
throughout the state object to the
university being conducted as an
educational institution instead of
a cell for communism. One of
their favOrite expressions is Down
Town Interference when a shake
up in the faculty is necessary for
faculty harmony"
Keep that in mind and read
the full text of the majority report
of the special investigating commit
tee as read and officially adopted in
the House of Representatives on
February % last. The subcommittee
to investigate the university was
composed of Moss, Lowe and H. o.

er at Thompson Falls who submit

Montana labor news., 1939-12-21
February %. 1899.

FEBRUARY 20, 1889.
We, your subcommittee of the
special investigating committee ap-
pointed to inquire into certain mat
ters at the state university that had
been brought to our attention, re-
spectfully report as follows:
The members of this committee
spent several days at Missoula, and
secured testimony from administra-
tive officers, faculty members,
t%ownspeople and students, such
testimony giving us what we be-
lieve to be a fair cross section of
opinion relative to the matters I'M
der inquiry, We believe that the
conclusions reached by this COM
mittee have good and sufficient
testimony to support them. These
conclusions are as follows:
l. We wish to commend what we
believe to be a splendid spirit among
the students of the institution, and
we also believe that at times mis-
takes may have been made in not
giving more consideration to student
opinion.
2. We wish to heartily commend
the dormitory system, and express
regret that more facilities of this
character are not available.
8. We believe that current student
fees are justifiable under the circum-
stances, and that it would be difficult
for the university to operate without
such fees.
4. We believe that in some cases
supervision has reached the near
censorship stage. However, we feel
that there have been no unreason-
able efforts to restrict freedom of
teaching or freedom of speaking.
5. We feel definitely that there
has been too much downtown inter
ference in university affairs, and
also suggest that some university
connections down town may work
seriously to the disadvantage of the
institution.
6. Our investigation convinced us
that there is serious dissension with
in the faculty and administrative
groups. This we most severely on
denim, and we emphatically feel that
a spirit of cooperation must be estab-
lished and maintained or great harm
to the institution will be the newt
able result.
7. Serious consideration of all
facts and circumstances has led your
committee to emphatically believe
that centralized authority should be
established over all units of the
greater university, through the re-
establishment of the chancellor plan
of supervision.
8. We earnestly believe, without
any criticism of any individual
member of the state board of educa-
ton, that that plan of supervision
over our higher institutions is in
efficient and ineffective. We believe
that this supervisory board should
be remodeled so that it would in
fact become a real state board of
education, and we seriously suggest
that members of this board should
not be appointed from cities having
units of the university of Montana.
