Because some folks who did not

ALUMNI PLAN
MASS MEETING

Expressing their desire to clear
away the atmosphere Of mystery and
secrecy that hangs over the dismissal
of five Montana State University
professors, a group of university
alumni and interested townspeople
crowded Judge Downey's courtroom
at the courthouse Monday night Oc-
tober Is, and enthusiastically voted
to hold a mass meeting in an effort
to get at the bottom of the contro-
versial situation.
Nearly a hundred persons met to
discuss the problem. They voted to
set the date of the mass meeting
tentatively for November II. Mr. w,
E. Coyle was named chairman of the
temporary organization, and Mr..
Charles Zimmerman, secretary.
A spirit of Tets find out what it's
all about" prevailed at the meeting.
The group voted to send invitations
to Governor Roy E. Ayers to speak
at the mass meeting, also to each
member of the State Board of Edu-
cation; to DR.. George Finlay Sim
mons, president of the university;
and to four of the ousted professors
DIR. N. j. Lennes, DR.. c. E. F Mol
lett, Professor E. A. Atkinson, and
Professor Philip o. Keeney. DR.. H.
G. Merriam has resigned and accept
ed position at the University of
Oregon.
"There are many ways in which
we could take action" Mr.. Coyle
said. But the alumni, like most citi-
zens, want to find out what the score
is first. Most of us don't know what
the facts are in this university situa-
ton, and we've decided upon the
mass meeting, with all important
parties concerned given an equal
chance to speak, as the best means
of shedding light on the whole af-
fair"
The group expressed itself unani-
mously as feeling that the university
problem is now one of statewide
concern to every Montana citizen
and that it is The right and duty OF
every person to know the whole
truth and to help settle the matter
in the best interests of all the people
1t was suggested that the mass
meeting be held in the auditorium
of the old Butte high school.

CORRECTION

Word has been received from the
Brewery Workers Union at Missoula
that an article appearing in the
Montana Labor News of October IL
dealing with the Woolworth store
was in error in one respect.
In the article in question, which
was a reprint from the Montana Re
view at Columbia Falls, it stated
that the Missoula Brewing Company
had indirectly warned their en-
ployees to keep off the picket line.
The Brewery Union states that no
such action was ever taken by the
Missoula Brewing Company and no
notice has been served on the en-
ployees one way or another.
The Montana Labor News is happy
to make this announcement.

Discharge Of Professors al u.

MONTANA ASSOCIATION FOR
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
California Committee

Whereas: Intellectual independ-
ence and integrity are elemental
components of scholarship; and,
Whereas: Under the presidency of
George Finlay Simmons consistent
efforts have been made to reduce
the faculty of the University Of
Montana to depraved automata with
the result that the academic pres
tige of the University has been
steadily lowered and higher educa-
ton in the state of Montana is en-
dangered; and,
Whereas: The most recent evil
dences of President Simmons i'm
moral leadership are his disregard
of the order of the Montana State
Supreme Court to reinstate Profes-
sor Philip Keeney to the full use
and enjoyment of his duties and
privileges as librarian and professor
of library economy and the action
of the Montana Board of Education
in demanding the designations of five
members of the faculty whose crime
is loyalty to the principles on which
the University was founded; now,
Therefore: We alumni and former
students of the University of Mon
tana and Montana State College,
members of the California Commit
tee, Montana Association for Aca-
demic Freedom, do petition Cover

The Women's Protective Union,
the Cooks and Walters Union and
the Bartenders Organization were
honored last week by a visit from
Gertrude Sweet, one of the vice
presidents and organizers of the In
ternational Union of Hotel and Res
taurant Employees and Bartenders
Union
Miss Sweet was a visitor here dur
ing Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
October IA, is and l6, and during
that time she called on local officials
of all of the unions under her juris-
diction.
She is on a tour of the ninth dis
trict of the International Union and
during this trip she has visited Hell
ena Butte and Missoula, in fact, her
prime purpose at the present time
is to talk over the problem involved
in the unfairness against the Wool
worth store in Missoula.
The local officials of the Women's
Protective, Cooks and Walters and
Bartenders Union all speak very
highly of Miss Sweet and compli-
ment her on her ability and engaging
personality.
1t may be interesting to announce
that Mr.. Hugo Ernst was elected
general secretary-treasurer of the
International Union at the national
executive board meeting held in

Labor Federation DistIoses Letters
Showing Intrigue Against Profs
Membership in and Friendship
for Labor Organizations and
Liberal Thought Appears to
Be Motive Behind the Action
of the Board and President
Simmons.

Mr.. James Graham, president of
the Montana State Federation of
Labor has sent out the following
letter to all affiliated unions in Or
der to acquaint them with the du-
plicity connected with the discharge
of the professors at the University:
According to the statement made
by a member of the State Board of
Education at the boards meeting
September II, one of the things that
influenced the board to ask Prof.
E. A. Atkinson to resign from the
University faculty was telegram
sent to the board by DR.. Frederick
C. Scheuch suggesting that Prof E.
A. Atkinson be dismissed from the
faculty.
Dr. Scheuch, who was present at
the board meeting September II,
and who was questioned by Attor-
ney General Harrison Freebourn and
others, admitted that he had nothing
against Atkinson, except Atkinson's
prominent association with the labor
unions, an act which he, DR.. Scheuch,
considered unworthy of member
of the staff of the University" DR..
Scheuch also stated: Il know nothing
against Mr.. Atkinson except that he
seems to be high cockalorum in the
union labor business"
DR.. Scheuch was at one time
member Of the faculty and vice
president of the University. Upon
his retirement some years ago he
migrated to Michigan, where it is
said that he married a widow of
some millionaire. Perhaps it is the
millionaire bias against organized
labor that prompted him to wire the
State Board of Education to get rid
of the members of the faculty who
had the CUTS to join the Teachers
Union, a labor union.
Apparently the committee ap-
pointed by Governor Roy Ayers to
investigate the situation were greatly
influenced with the rawlings of a
labor batter to make the drastic
recommendation that the union pro-
fessors be dismissed.
The following letter was received
from an individual in New York.
For obvious reasons the name of the
writer is not given:
New York, NJ Y
October 2, 1889.
Mr.. James D. Graham, President

In the chair for the occasion was
Philip Murray, vice president of the
CIO and head of the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee.
Sidney Hillman, second vice presi-
dent and president of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, made the
nominating speech that released the
demonstration.
Shortly afterward, with similar
enthusiasm, the delegates reelected
young James B. Carey, as secretary
treasurer. Then in quick succession
the members of the executive board
with one representative of each ma
tional affiliate of the CIO, were
elected

Generally it was reelection of the
former members. Special demonstra-
tions were accorded to the re-elec-
ton of Harry Bridges, head of the
International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union; Michael j.
Quill, New York Councilman and
president of the Transport Workers
Union and Joseph Curran, president
of the National Maritime Union.
All three have been the target in
the most vicious attacks of reaction
aries especially at Dies Committee
hearings.
The morning session was conclud-
ed with election of six vice presi-
dents, an increase of four over the
former number.
They are Murray, Hillman, R. j.
Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers; Sherman
Dalrymple, president United Rubber
Workers; Reid Robinson, president
of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
ers, and Emil Rieve, president of the
Textile Workers Union of America.
1T is the greatest fortune of our
movement, that in this great crisis
facing not only labor, not merely
the nation, but humanity, that the
CIO is able to give leadership to
the people of America in the per-
son of John l.. Lewis" Hillman
said in his nominating speech.

Suspension OF Brewery
Workers Seen in
January
By MARC STONE

CINCINNATI. - (FP) In tu-
multuous session, the seth AFL con-
vention acted to end the 40-year
controversy over beer truck drivers
between the Init. Union of the
United Brewery, Flour, Cereal and
Soft Drink Workers and the Init.
Bro. of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers.
An executive council report is ex-
pected to result in suspension of the
brewery workers in January was
adopted by show of hands. The
plan calls for appointment of a spe-
cial committee by Pres. William
Green to open hearings on the dis
pute within 80 days and to report
to the AFL executive council in
January.
The council would then take what
ever steps it believes necessary. If
the dispute is not settled, the brew
cry workers would be suspended.
Only the delegates from the
IUBFCSDW voted against the re-
port, although a number Of other
delegates refrained from voting. The
request of Pres. Daniel J. Tobin of
the IBTCSH for a record vote was
denied. Sec.- Treas. Joseph Obergfell
of the brewery workers explained
that he opposed the report only be-
cause of the time limit on the COM
mittee's work.
The report sharply condemned the
brewery workers for going to court
in a successful attempt to get an
injunction restraining AFL officials
from transferring the drivers to the
IBTCSH.
To this Obergfell retorted that the
councils report was "a masterpiece
of evasion and Misrepresentation
prepared in a manner best calculated
to instill in the minds of the dele
gates the thought that the brewery
workers are at the bottom of a plot
to restrain the AFL from its legal
and moral right to settle jurisdic-
tional controversies"

EDUCATION BOARD TREACHERY EXPOSED
AFL Delegates Clash
On Labor Peace Isl :

BY MARC STONE

CINCINNATI.-(FP)-Shs de-
bate on the issue of lab eace
broke out as the AFL c ntion
began its second week. 7 iscus-
sion was precipitated by port of
the resolutions committee, indorsing
AFL Pres. William Green's letter in
answer to Pres. Roosevelt's new plea
for resumption of peace talks.
Green had referred the President
to the AFL executive councils re-
port, which said that negotiations
had been broken off by the CIO
and that the AFL would be ready
at any time to renew them.
The resolutions committee report
suggested that any peace proposals
would be more suitably directed to
the CIO. (Pres. Roosevelt had said
that he was sending similar mes
sage to the CIO convention in San
Francisco, which opened a week
later)
Daniel Tobin, president of the
Init Bro. of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers and known
as an advocate of labor peace, told
the delegates that he agreed with
the committee report. He predicted
that the CIO would accept Roose-
velt's suggestion but that endless dis
cussion would follow
II am not so sure that anything
will happen" Tobin said.
An attack on the CIO and the
Roosevelt administration by Chaun-
cey Weaver, Republican lawyer from
Chicago and delegate of the Amer
ican Federation of Musicians,
brought a quick retort from Pres.
Joseph N. Webber of the musicians.
Webber, who is member of the
AFL executive council, pointed out
that his union at its last convention
had adopted a resolution urging a
third term for Roosevelt. An out
burst of applause greeted this state
ment although there is no likeli-
hood that the AFL convention will
recommend a third term.

B. JULIAN DESCRIBES
FIGHT AT W00LW0RTH|
STORE. UNIVERSITY

Stating that the Cooks and Wait
ers, Clerks and the Bartenders Or
CARNATIONS were winning their battle
with the Woolworth store in Mis-
soula, Ben Julian, secretary of the
mechanics organization, prophesied
that victory would ensue in a short
time.
Mr.. Julian, in his talk before the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, described some of the difficulties
under which the Woolworth store
was operating and said that all de-
liveries to the firm had been stopped
and the only services now being
rendered to the store were by their
own trucks. He said that an article
appearing in the local Missoula
papers accusing the pickets of the
unions of assaulting one of the
drivers was not true but that the
driver himself brought on battle
with another man employed by the
city at the dumping grounds by in
sulting remarks made by this same
driver.
The speaker mentioned that spot
ters were continually being en-
ployed on the picket lines, but that
union officials could identify such
individuals.
Mr.. Julian explained that depart
ment heads of the Woolworth stores
came to Missoula and after visiting
with the officials in the store, i'm
mediately proceeded to confer with
officials of the Missoula Mercantile
Company. There seems to be a tie
up between the two stores. Mr..
Julian mentioned that business had
dropped off about so per cent at
Woolworth's.
The visitor gave scathing rebuke
to the Great Falls football team and
accused them of patronizing the
Woolworth store while visiting in
Missoula to play the Missoula foot
ball team He said that members of
the team made fun of the unions
and of the pichets.
The police were complimented for
their fair and impartial attitude to-
ward the unions when the manager
of the Woolworth store, according
to Mr.. Julian, asked that the pickets
be removed, he was informed by the
police that there was a state law in
Montana allowing peaceful picket
ing.
Professor E. A. Atkinson, who is
one of the discharged professors at
the University, in the recent purge
and who was formerly president of
the Missoula Trades and Labor
Council, came in for very high praise
from Mr.. Julian, while Mr.. Mcleod
of the Missoula Mercantile Company
was bitterly denounced.
The suggestion has been made that
the Legislature or other authorities
at Helena investigate charges that
the Missoula Mercantile Company is
overcharging the University for sup
plies. Allegations have been made
that the charge for beds at the
