 Labor has had no opportunity to be heard on amendments" he said. "As far as know, this Is the first
 We think the administrator erred when he came before this commit tee and recommended amendments before he administered the act.
 We believe the act is entitled to demonstrate it's effectiveness. It has not had that opportunity. There has not been any effective administration on enforcement of the act"
 Turning to discussion of the origins of the movement for amend ment of the act, Lewis said:
 He who proposed amendments must have known that he was open ing the act up to lamentation and propaganda and sinister political in- fiuence. Certainly the Amalgamated Association of Cut Purses would like to get together and repeal this act. "
 Lobbyists in Capitol
 Lewis charged that corporation lawyers and lobbyists have infested this Capitol in the last few months asking relief for certain individuals who believe that 25 cents an hour is to much"
 T don't believe 1t is too much and I don't believe congress thinks that 1t is too much," he said.
 Lewis pounded the table as he de- manded that labor "be assured of at least 25 lousy cents an hour"
 It was at this point he launched into his personal attack on Garner. Lewis castiRated what he describ- cd as the spectacle" in the house where a Republican minority aided by renegade Democrats performed a war dance around the prostrate form of labor In the well of the house Many of the men Swho partici- pated are men who in the past have not hesitated to accept the help of labor" he said.

SPEAKERS TO MEETING

At a meeting of Butte alumni, it
was decided to send invitations to
Governor Ayers, President George
Finlay Simmons, all members of the
state board of education, and the
five dismissed university professors,
asking them to present their respec-
tive versions of the University con-
troversy at a mass meeting, Friday
night, November II. The letters
follow:
Honorable Roy E. Ayers
Governor of Montana
Helena, Montana.
Dear Governor Ayers:
In an accompanying letter, we are
addressing you as a member of the
State Board of Education, inviting
you to speak at a mass meeting in
Butte, November II, at 8 p. m. Be-
sides yourself, all members of the
Board of Education, President
George Finlay Simmons, and the
dismissed University professors are
being invited as speakers.
We here wish to appeal to you
further as Governor and acknowl-
edged leader in Montana to lend
your great prestige and influence to
the task of discovering the truth in
this confused situation. We feel GER
tain that if your time permits you
will speak at this meeting; and we
urge you to do so because we know
that the authority with which you
speak will help immeasurably in
clarifying the problem that con-
fronts us, and in dissipating the
angry cloud of controversy that
hangs over our State University.
Awaiting your favorable reply, we
lremain,
Faithfully yours,
BUTTE ALUMNI COMMITTEE

v" WANTk MARRY A
MILLIONAIRE"

One of the most curious things
we can recall concerning higher
education in the Treasure state
where higher education has often
taken peculiar twists due to me-
Examinations of the Copper Kings
governors-is found among the
abundant data relative the current
ousting of old, competent and utter
ly respectable instructors at the state
university at Missoula.
We refer to the statements made
by DR.. Frederick c. Scheuch, goose
stepping ex-president for-a-time, of
the Missoula institution. This super
man told the erudite Montana Board
of Education (appointed by Ayers
in a majority that Prof. Atkinson
should be dismissed, because of At
kinson's relations with labor unions.
Atkinson had been president of the
Missoula County Trades and Labor
Assembly. Said this Scheuch of vio-
lent dislike for labor: 81 know moth
ing against Mr.. Atkinson except that
he seems to be high cockalorum in
the union labor business" So friends,
it has become a crime in the eyes
of such individuals as Doktor
Scheuch to have labor union con-
nections. If this were the viewpoint
of university faculty in general it
would be extremely interesting to
union labor when the five mill tax
levy rolls around againl
But is this the viewpoint of most
high placed men in the university?
We seriously doubt it. This leads us
to inquire into Doktor Scheuch's
status.
We find the learned ex-prof to be
retired faculty member. On the
Montana campus he was known as
good fellow who would die for
dear old Sigma Chi if the other
fraternities threatened that orders
chances of gathering in the best
prospects among the freshmen crop.
We find that Doktor Scheuch is no
longer a resident of Montana. We
find he retired from teaching some
years ago whereupon he married
widow reputedly weighted with mil
lions. Perhaps this million dollar
business has resulted in the learned
Doktor becoming somewhat biased
against union labor. Perhaps it is
more pleasant for millionaires to
clip coupons than evidence an in
terest in the affairs of labor.
We don't know Atkinson very
well. We sympathize with his en-
deavors. We doubt whether much
value can be attached to any oppo-
sition that is engendered by Scheuch
on such grounds. We are in favor
of letting Atkinson continue to
teach, along with the rest of those
prescribed, and at least hoping that
Doktor Scheuch will be interned in
his old millionaires home where he
can secure rest and quiet for the
remainder of his days, safe from the
dangers of union labor. It is not only
to laugh but to guffaw.-Western

R0LpH AGAIN HEADS Dies Committee Again
STATE FARMERS union Slapped by President

WASHINGTON (FP) - For the
second time in its brief but turbu-
lent existence the House committee
allegedly investigating un-American
activities called down upon itself
the condemnation of the President
of the United States.
"Sordid procedure" were the
words the resident used, going out
of his way to allow direct quota
ton of them, to describe the action
of the committee in publishing the
names of government employees
supposed to be members of the local
branch of the American League for
Peace and Democracy.
The President did not elaborate
on his description of the commit
tees recent activities but the i'm
preston was created that he has
not changed his mind since the time
he issued a written denunciation of
the group, headed by Rep. Martin
Dies d., Tex. At that time he said
he did not trust his powers Of self
control to describe the committees
activities extemporaneously.
Following the Presidents remarks,
Rep. Noah Mason (R., ILL, a mem
ber of the committee, took the floor
of the House to defend the actions
of the committee The responsible
ity was his, he told the handful Of
members who listened, as he was
the one who demanded the publica-
ton of the list.
The publication, Mason GRATED, was
the elimination of a moral suasion
campaign" that the Dies committee,
allegedly investigating un-Ameri-
can activities, has been conducting
since its creation.
Government employees, Mason
went on, had "the effrontery" to re-
fuse to resign from the league in
response to the committees moral
suasion campaign" and the league
itself had gall to launch an organ
izing campaign as "an affront to the
committee"

DR.. George Finlay Simmons,
President, Montana State University
Missoula, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Simmons:
Regrettably and unfortunately,
the situation caused at Montana
State University by the State Board
of Education's recent action in re-
questing the resignation of five pro-
fessors has caused great confusion
and agitation throughout the state.
Angry charges and counter charges
are being tossed about without
sound supporting evidence, and the
sad part of the whole affair seems
to be that the University as whole
is suffering regardless of which side
in the controversy is right.
After much argument in an at
tempt to assess the known facts, a
large group of Butte alumni have
decided that they are not wise
enough with their present knowl-
edge to do this. They have decided
that the most intelligent thing to
do is to try to shed light on the
whole controversy.
AS a means toward that end, we
are sponsoring a mass meeting in
Butte on November II at p m.
We are inviting the Governor of
Montana, yourself, all members of
the State Board of Education, and
the University professors concerned
in the matter. We feel that only in
this manner can a full and impartial
presentation of the facts be obtained;
and we feel that the alumni and
Montana people in general have a
right to hear those facts.
We are looking especially to you,
DR.. Simmons, to assume leadership
in this effort to present the truth
and so clear away the angry con-
troversy that hangs over our State
University. We believe that people
generally are looking to you and
have faith in your ability to do this
important job.
Awaiting your favorable reply, we
remain,
Faithfully yours,
BUTTE ALUMNI COMMITTEE
