his supposed labors TO rthe state. The
investigating body discovered however
that he was costing the taxpayers of
the state of Montana, the tidy sum of
approximately $3.50 per month.
It is interesting to note that the
committee reports: 1--WE feel that he
is being paid entirely too much, and
this opinion WAS CONQUERED IN
BY THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE
HIGHWAY COMMISSION" 1talics
ours.)
The Voice has previously stated that
faults disclosed by legislative inves-
tigating committees are seldom if ever
remedied by the responsible officials
This assertion is proven true in the
case of the salary paid to this alleged
labor co-ordinator. The chief engineer
Of the highway department of the
state concurred in the finding of the
committee that this man was overpaid,
and since he was unable to tell what
he did, and why, it is fair to assume
that he was overpaid 100 per cent.
However, assuming that he had and
did perform some mysterious duties
for which he was entitled to some re-
Enumeration from the source which
profited by his accomplishments, the
man responsible for his employment
by the highway department, according
to the committees report, agreed that
he was overpaid,
That being the case, it should follow
that this state official, the State High
way engineer, would take some action
to remove this excess burden upon
the state funds. BUT PUNK SEQ
FIELD is STILL ON THE PAYROLL
AT THE SAME SALARY AS HE
WAS AT THE TIME THE COMMIT
TEES IN.VE SIT CATION WAS
MADE. He draws 5000 per month from

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES men and
women have always been in the fore
front of the professors against war.
They have protested because they
know that it is working men and wom
en- who suffer most from war. 1t is
they who feel the effects of high
prices. 1t is they who do the dying.
1t is others who reap the rewards,
such as they are
This much is generally realized and
accepted. Not SO well realized and ac-
cepted is the fact that nation arm
ing means nation in which the lib
critics of working people become more
and more restricted.
How this process works is described
aptly enough in study recently pro-
duced by the Brookings Institution
dealing with the status of workers in
nazi Germany. 1t was prepared by DR..
L. Hamburger, former professor of la
Geneva.
At present in nazi Germany labor
has less freedom than did the serfs of
old, Hamburger says. The process by
which they were stripped of their
rights was a gradual one.
1t began with the large number Of
unemployed. First the military estab-
lishment was increased, large numbers
of men being forced into the army.
Then came the extension of the public
works system, largely of a military
nature.
In 1884 all non-agricultural employ
ers were ordered to discharge former
farm workers of which there was a
shortage despite the still general un-
employment
AS shortages of workers developed
in various trades due to the increas-
ing emphasis on armament produc-
ton, government regulation became
stricter, eventually leading to the in
stitution of work book" kind of
labor passport showing the workers
vocational record.
Small businesses began to go next
as Independent skilled workers oper-
ating small establishments found their
employees ordered to other jobs. When
these skilled workers could get no
helpers they were compelled to shut
up shop and take the work offered by
the government employment office.
1t is estimated that by July of 1889,
over 100000 skilled workers had been
turned into industrial workers and the

has been operating for more than five
years. And the Indiana co-operatives
have just completed one year of oper-
alton of their own bank which has
saved it's patron-members thousands
of dollars in the cost of consumer

The capital of the new cooperative

to take $4,000 of the shares, and other

NEW YORK.-There was a lot Of
eyebrow-raising in labor circles here
Sept. 16 when the Associated Willkie

the corporation that Is supplying kits

The kits are sold for rs cents each
by the Reuben H. Donnelley corpora
ton, which has made a record during
the past 20 years as the biggest non
union printing plant in the nation
and one of the most bitterly anti
union.
mo union printer can get job with
Donnelley," said President Elmer
Brown of local 6, International Typo
graphical union (AFL suspended).
'The company makes a careful inves-
tigation of each applicants history. A
man has to have practically an anti
union record to be hired"
At the headquarters of the Asso-
ciated Willkie clubs volunteer exec
utive named Henry Fowler said he
was very much surprised to hear that
the Donnelley company was hostile to
labor II don't know how it happened
that they got the job" he said. "Pll
have to make an investigation"
A Willkie publicity man said he was
sure that the printing bore the union
label and that Donnelley merely as
sembled the eight items that are
called tools" for Willkie workers.
These include instructions, 10 copies
of the pamphlet, 'Willkie the Man."

First order to Donnelley was for
100000 kits, which are to be used in
the chain letter system with each
worker enrolling 10 voters and other
workers. The plan should result in

such hindrances will ensue. But this
balancing of national policies and
weighing of Judgments is peculiarly
a matter for determination by execu-
tive officers rather than by judicial
bodies accustomed to reliance upon

The commission added that it was
sure the oil companies would not per
nit resentment" to interfere with the
defense program but noted that such
things as antitrust suits have "a ten
dency to becloud relationships between
government and industry
The suit proposed to force the major
oil companies to divest themselves of
their pipelines and to separate the
functions of production and transpor-
tation and marketing. 1t was further
proposed to force down the difference
between the prices of ordinary gaso-
line and high grade gasoline to the

| ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of an
antitrust suit against the American
Petroleum Institute and % major oil
companies was frowned upon by the
national defense commission in re-
port submitted to the department of
justice and made public here Sept. 1S.
In making public the report, Attor-
Iney-General Robert H. Jackson said
the departments action will be an
nounced as soon as the commissions
report has been studied.
1.-THE commission does not suggest
that the proposed suit be abandoned"
the report states. "The commission
feels it appropriate to point out, new
ertheless, that to greater or less
degree certain prayers for relief may
hinder the defense program.
1.-THE commission cannot undertake
to meet the burden of proving, with
court room evidence and logic, that
