BROWN QUITS
OMAHA COUNCIL.
TO Fight burke

OMAHA.-(FP)-Mace Brown, four
years president of the Omaha Cen
tral Labor Union, has announced his
resignation and will enter the polit-
ical field.
Brown was recently reinstated as
president after being forced by AFL
Pres. William Green to resign because
of his testimony before a congression-
al committee. He had urged that the
Wagner labor act remain unchanged
my chief idea is to campaign Wig.
orously against Sen. Edward r.
Burke" Brown said. "The democratic
national leadership is largely tied up
with labor, and | am going to give
them all the support can. We don't
like Burke's attitude. He is misrep-
a party that has done more
for labor than all other parties COM
bined"
Brown said he would campaign for
Gov. Roy l.. Cochran in the Nebraska
senatorial race, and also act as
labor organizer for groups al present
not represented in the AFL.
James Sullivan of the Init. Bro. of
Electrical Workers will succeed Brown
as president until the January cleo
tions.

TNEC Notes
Price Rises

WASHINGTON.-( -(FP)-Apparentl
unjustified price increases in COM
modities used by farmers were report
, ed here by the Temporary National
Economic Committee.
The committees statement was in
line with a request made to it by
President Roosevelt for the establish
ment of a procedure to watch prices
and report unusual developments. The
summary was prepared by the com
mittee's staff for the committees use
the statement said, and implies mo
judgement whatsoever as to the merits
of the particular price increases"
Super-phosphate, a basic fertilizer
material, it was reported, has increas-
ed in price from $3.50 a ton to $3.50
a ton while there has been no recorded
change in price for either phosphate
rock or sulphuric acid which are the
two raw materials used in the pro-
duction of super-phosphate.
'Both of these materials are pro-
duced in the United States and are not
dependent upon imports" the state
ment said. "The price of super-phos-
phate is now as high as at any time
since the summer of 1880 while the
price of phosphate rock is 39% below
its 1881 level"
The price of silk during the three
weeks preceding November 20 jumped
sharply and on November Is stood
at 1898 per pound as compared with
S1.83 on January 6. The bulk of the
rise occurred before the declaration
of war, the statement said, but in
creased 300 since August 26.
In contrast with the 1914 situation,
the TNEC reports, the price of chemi-
Gals and drugs has not changed much
since the beginning of war. This is
attributed 10 the fact that the U. S. is
no longer dependent on foreign sup
plies.
Cited as warning by the committee
is a report by the Babson Institute
declaring that the use of substitutes
will be greatly increased as the result
of war and its attendant higher prices
for certain commodities. "Uneconomic
prices often have killed the goose that
laid the gold egg" Babson's was quot
ed as saying.

PRESIDENT OF TEACHERS UNION AT
STATE UNIVERSITY EXPLAINS PuR-
POSE OF ORGANIZATION TO PUBLIC

Investigating committee of the Ameri-
can Association of University Profes-
sors which investigated the Keeney
case in 1887 sustained none of the
charges which President Simmons
brought against Mr.. Keeney.
Since the A. A. u. P. report was
printed, there has been published by
the University of California Press
berkeley, Calf, 1889 a study by
Vim. H. Carlson titled "The develop
ment and financial support of seven
western and northwestern state uni
versity libraries" Mr. Carlson made
his study for the degree of Master of
Arts at the School of Librarianship,
University of California The libra
ries studied were those of Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming, and the
period covered was roughly that of
Professor Keeney's incumbency. In a
table on page 29 which ranks these
libraries on factors of enrolment and
support, Utah is first with an aver
age of 1.2, and Montana fourth with
an average of Al. But on a table on
page 55 which ranks these same IL
braries on seven service factors lie,
on their relative efficiency Montana
is first with an average of IT and
Utah fourth with an average of "A.
l submit that when a library ranks
fourth in point of support and first
in point of service, it's administrator
must be doing more than ordinarily
good job. And l agree with the find
ing of the A. A. U. P. committee that
commentator, not condemnation,
should have been Professor Keeney's
reward"
Very truly yours,

THE FACULTY POLL

The three man committee appointed
by the 26th Legislature, and also the
Borton, Gosman committee, approved
by the Board of Education, have both
stated that the difficulties on the
campus were owing to but small
group Of discontented faculty.
With the purpose, only, of ascer-
tanning just how far this report rep
resented the actual state of affairs
on the campus, committee of Mis-
soula citizens, composed of Rev. j. G..
Bennett, Rev. T. w. Bennett, and DR..
T. t. Rider, men of outstanding in
tegrity, conducted a poll of the full
time teaching faculty. Secret ballots
were sent out asking the following
question: "Do you approve of the ac-
tion taken by the Board in dismissing
Professors Merriam, Mollett, Atkin-
son, and Lennes?"
The result follows:
YES" 1920.
mo" 47.5%.
Not voting 42.5%o.
The 42.5% who did not vote may
have been neutral" or they may
have felt themselves too little in
formed about the situation, or possi-
bly, they may have feared conse-
quences if they were discovered not
voting right" Leaving that to any
ones conjecture, more than 500 of
the faculty did express themselves,
and of that number only 17.4% ap-
proved the State Boards action, while
S2.6%o opposed. Further, it must be
noted that only 1919 of the faculty
favored the administration sufficient
ly to express their stand, while 1850
had the courage to definitely oppose
it.
These, then, are the facts as OBJ
tanned by the poll of the above named
citizens. Stated once again they
show: 1919 of the faculty support the
administration, nearly 5000 oppose.
The reader is hereby given the priv
ilege to judge for himself the extent
Of the "dissension."

CHICAGO ALUMNI
DISTURBED Over
Univ. SITUATION

Alarmed at the growing threat to
academic freedom attending the re-
cent dismissal of five members of the
Montana University faculty, a large
group of graduates and friends of that
institution residing in the Chicago
area have organized to push for a
thorough and impartial investigation
of the situation. The organization al
ready numbering more than 40 mem
bers, consists of business and profess
sional people and Montana students
western Universities. Among those
attending the rally were S. r. Logan,
former Montana school superintendent
and instructor at the University for
eight summers; Gertrude Z. Loeb
former resident of Lewistown; James
w. Dorsey, Milwaukee attorney and
one-time football player at the Uni
versity; Mrs. Dorsey, former student;
Professors Robert and Carolyn Try
on, University graduates now on leave
from the University of California, and
Virginia Hirst, Rachel Jordon, Edith
Mckay, John L. Page, Marion ]. Rus
sell, former students and teachers in
the state.
At the meeting the group heard
charges, most of them substantiated
by documentary evidence, of malad-
ministration; of mis-treatment of such
respected members of the faculty as
Dean Stone, Dean Mollett, and others;
of suppression of student opinion; of
petty reprisals against both students
and professors; of growing insecurity
among faculty members; of admins
trative action reversed by the courts;
of the imminent danger of the Uni
versity's being removed from the list
of accredited institutions; of growing
unrest among students on the campus;
and of incipient boycott of the Univer-
sity reflected in a falling off in the
attendance.
Shocked at the reports made by in
dividuals in touch with the University
the group resolved to do its
utmost toward bringing those facts,
heretofore not widely publicized, to
the attention of the people OF Mon
tana.

Dies Committee
Hagggles To Be
Or Not To Be-

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Dispute
over the future of the house committee
allegedly investigating un-American
activities flared among members of
the committee here as Rep. J. Parnell
Thomas Or. N. J.), a member of the
committee, expressed the feeling that
the committee should be made per-
manent.
Rep. jerry Voorhis I'D. Calif.), also
4 member, promptly took issue with
Thomas and indicated he was none too
happy over some of the recent state
ments by Rep. Dies I'd. Tex), chair
man of the committee.
There are plenty of devoted Amer
ican citizens who are no more
sympathetic to foreign isms than the
members of the Dies committee who
believe that such an investigation is
Of value to the nation just to the ex-
tent that all the members of the
committee are willing not only to let
properly developed evidence speak for
itself but also to refrain from un-
necessary and alarming statements un-
supported by present evidence" Voor-
his said.
Because" he added, "a person dis
approves some of the methods of the
Dies committee certainly does not
mean he is in favor of foreign isms or
against a decent presentation of facts
concerning them"
Thomas had declared that only those
sympathetic to the aims of foreign
isms will join the united front to
smear the committee" He claimed
that before the committee was ap-
pointed these isms had made deep
inroads in the United States"
The statements and counter-state-
ments came as committee members
twiddled their thumbs waiting for
witness who failed to catch a train.
The witness, William Novel; of De-
Lroit, Mich, was touted as one of the
most important" to come before the
