II. w. BROWN

Fl. w. Brown, international Pres
ident of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists, has served this
International in many capacities.
Having joined Union in 1905, he
soon became local and district busi-
ness representative. He was elected
as delegate from the Grand Lodge
to three successive American Fed
Grafton of Labor conventions. In
every position he showed unusual
ability as an organizer and leader
in the Labor movement.
In July, 1921, following refer
endum election, Mr.. Brown became
International Vice President, in
which position he served until June,
1925. AS a result of a change in
the laws of the |. A. of M. he be-
came General Vice President and
continued in that Office until May,
1910. However, in November, 1888,
while officially retaining the title
of General Vice President, the
Council appointed Mr.. Brown Act
ing International President, due to
the poor health of the International
President, A. o. Wharton, who re-
tired in November, 1889. In April
of this year the membership, by
referendum election, chose Mr..
Brown as the International Presi-
dent and he Immediately took over
the duties of that Office.
Mr.. Brown is a member of the
Executive Council of the Railway
Employees Department and of the
Metal Trades Department, A. F.
of L.; also member of the Rail-
way Labor Executives Association
and a member of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company. Under Mr..
Browns leadership the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists
continues to be one of the most
effective and efficient Labor Unions
in America.

ton of Machinists, Machinists'

Federationist, official organ of
the American Federation sOf Lab
or.
Exploding the myth that
American labor standards must
be junked as an obstacle to de-
fense preparations, the leading
article in the magazine declares
there is no parallel between leg
islation safeguarding working
standards in this country and
the labor laws which some writ
ers say were partly responsible
for the defeat of France. The
French laws were rigid and ar
bitrary whereas the Wage-Hour
Act in the United States is flex-
lDie and does not prevent longer
hpars than the maXimums, pro.
vIdlng overtime is paid. More
over, longer hours say efficiency,
the article says, quoting gener-
al order of the United States
Army issued during the last
World War showing that the out
put of workers on a ten-hour
day "will be the same, or even
less, than it was during the
shorter (eight-hour) day."
Another article by Robert j.
Watt, International Representa-
tive Of the American Federation
of Labor, points out that de-
mocracy has been safeguarded in
England despite the war emer-
gency because labor has been
given full representation in the
administration Of Government
affairs. Workers have willingly
agreed to the suspension of
former rights and privileges be-
cause of their patriotism and be-
cause they are assured of pro
lection by their participation in
the Government, Mr.. Watt says.
In an editorial, President VIM.
Green replies with an emphatic
mo" to unfounded reports of
labor shortages. He cites the
conclusive fact that there are
still almost ten million unem-
ployed in the country and that a
large percentage of these are
skilled and semi-skilled workers
who can be employed in defense
industries.
A summary of the records of
the Democratic and Republican
canoldates for President, togeth-
er with the labor planks of both
party platforms is presented in
the magazine for the informa-
ton Of the five million members
of the American Federation of
Labor, in conformity with its
non partisan political policy.

WILLIAM L. HUTCHINSON

William L. Hutcheson, President
of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America, is
also a member of the Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor, succeeding Frank Duffy,
who recently resigned.
Mr.. Hutcheson is a strong advo-
cate of the fundamental principles
of Trade Unionism. He believes
in the Union Label and has pro
noted the Union Label of the
Carpenters Brotherhood with great
effectiveness. He believes that the
Union Label stands for fairness
toward employer and employe alike.
1t is a mark of mutual cooperation
and good will.

We Must Work
For Democracy

1t is not only necessary to re-
affirm our faith in democratic
processes, but it is equally neces-
sary that we labor incessantly to
make that democracy work. Dur
ing the past few years we have
been at this. We have attempt
ed to come back to the essential
fact that the state exists for the
people. In order that such a
philosophy may prevail gener-
ally, it is important that we
work together to establish our
country more firmly than ever
on the principles laid down by

Sloan Warns Not
To Look For
Miracles

American industry eventually
will be capable of producing ev-
erything needed in the way of
defense materials, but miracles
should not be expected.
The big job ahead, according
to Alfred z. Sloan, Jr., chairman
of General Motors, is to get
ready the equipment to produce
on a large scale. This will take
time, he said, and failure to ap-
preciate that fact can lead only
to confusion and disappoint-
ment."
When the big industrial ma
chine is ready, Sloan declared,
it will be able to produce what
ever is asked of it.

PEACE EIGHT YEARS IN 100

According to a U. S. Army
man, Lieutenant Colonel Robert
H. Cushing, only 268 years of the
last 1921 of recorded history
have been warless. This means
that an average of only eight
years in every 100 has the world
been at peace. Another state
ment by Cushing, based on his
torical research is that during
these same 1921 years, 5000
treaties were signed and that
the average life of each treaty
has been approximately two
years.

John Citizen Will Paw
2 Percent for Freedom

John A. Citizens defense bill for the
next five years will amount to a 2
percent annual insurance premium on
his $50 billion dollar property. the
U. S. A 1t will equal his combined
annual expenditures for beverages,
both soft and alcoholic, tobacco, mo-
ton picture admissions, jewelry. radios,
cosmetics and furs, according to an
analysis by Northwestern National
Life Insurance Co.
On the basis of present defense COM
mitments and additional projects like
ly to be authorized, building and
maintaining our defense plant will
cost an average of a little over 7
billions per year during the next five
years. This is approximately 10 per-
cent Of our present national income.
Assuming that we do not run into
that at the end OF our five-year eX-
pansion in defense forces we are salts
fled from then on merely to maintain
them at their 1916 extent and eff
cheney, the probable maintenance COST
for the expanded plant will amount
to some four billions year, or little
over a l percent annual insurance
premium on the total assets of the
American people. This amount is the
equivalent of our present annual bill
for tobacco, beverages and motion
picture tickets. 1t is substantially less
than our tourist travel expenditures.
which reached an estimated total OF
So. billions in 1899
Physical Assets Only
The insurance premium calculation,
the analysis points out, considers only
the dollar value of the physical assets
| of the nation; it does not attempt
to put a valuation on freedom and
the right to live the American way of
life. Neither does it attempt to cap
| italize the value Of the lives saved
! by adequate defense equipment and
| training.
The report finds that &C billions OF
Glacier County chief., 1940-10-11

dollars in defense appropriations have
already been made; formal contract
authorizations total about 81 billions
and implied authorizations total about
3ya billions. Complete expenditures
cannot be accurately estimated. the
study points out, inasmuch as new
commitments are constantly being en-.
tered into, new projects proposed and
plans are being changed constantly.
However, taking into account present
appropriations commitments and prob
abe commitments, some 98 billions
OF expenditures are indicated for naval
construction and ornaments in the
next five years; maintenance costs
such as pay for personnel, fuel oil.
repairs, maintenance of yards and
bases, ETC., will amount to another 8
billion dollars in the five-year period,
indicating approximately 10 billion dol
lars for the navy. This includes naval
aviation.
Indicated expenditures for the army
in the same period, including aviation,
total approximately IA billions, plus a
maintenance item of probably 4 billion
a grand total of approximately SO
billions of dollars to be expended I'M
der the present indicated five-year
program for both army and navy. This
does not include new housing for de-
tense industry workers.
Though the rate of expenditure will
vary from year to year, probably reach
ing peak in 1912 and 1913, the av-
erage for the five years on this basis
would be about IL billion dollars an
nually, or approximately 10 percent OF
our current annual national income.
Estimated inventories of values for
the various physical assets Of the
people OF the United States reached
high Of approximately $40 billions
of dollars in 1929, shrank sharply in
i the depression years, but have recov-
/ dollars as of 1910.

Commoners i'm England Have
No Fear of Victory by Hitler

Englishmen higher up in the social
scale, who have hobnobbed with Hitler
and MuSSolini, the organ grinder, for
years and who would do it now if they
dared" are those to be feared not the
common people, according to a letter
received by Mrs. Thomas Heal Sr.,
17O1 Second avenue north, Great Falls,
from a nephew living in Liverpool
The writer. whose letter was dated
Aug, Is, reported that he, and his
family were comfortable and well fed
and asked that little credence be
given reports from Germany.
II am sorry that you are worrying
so much about the war" the English
man wrote. But though Hitler has
! a lot that he said he would get
there is one little bit that he will
have to fight for and it will cost
him more than all the rest put to-
gether. The heart of the common
people is sound and while you can
see a million and half men who will
work all day and then take their turn
| at Shouldering a rifle at night, it does
| not look so bad for them.
The only danger comes from some
of those higher up in the social scale.
! AS I have toll you before, I am in
favor of shooting them. 1t is we'll
known who they are. They have hob
nobbed with Hitler and Mussolini, the
organ grinder, for years and would do
it now if they dared. However, We
shall pull round in the end. We have
not half lost this war as yet.
Don't believe for one minute the
Glacier County chief., 1940-10-11

news that you hear from Germany.
for most Of it is lies. have listened
of good time don't say that all Of
ours is true, but you can take it that
it is right for the most part. Now,
as regards food, there is no shortage
in the way that we need go hungry.
There are certain foods rationed to
insure that each gets his share, but
outside those, we can buy what We
like and the shops look to be stocked
as well as in peacetime."
In closing. the writer said the sum-
mer had been dry and that rain was
needed for the gardens but that the
farmers had been able to get their
harvests in in good condition. He also
spoke of his own garden, saying,
War or no war, my front garden still
makes passersby stop and look at it."
