BY VIRGINIA THOMPSON

In ancient Siam there were sever
classes Of slaves, and even the free
men were required to perform services
for the state and for their patrons
Hence there was no labor problem.
But with the growth of the rice ex-
port trade in the late 18th century
slavery gradually lost its economic
basis. By 1905, when the change was
complete, about fourth Of the nation
was economically and socially dislo-
Gated
For years Siam was known as the
country in which labor costs were
higher than anywhere else in the East.
Thousands of Chinese streamed into
Thailand to do the work that the ma
tive population was unable or unwil1-
ing to perform. But a rise of nation
alism, coupled with higher immigra-
tion fees, has cut down the influx of
Chinese to the point where labor
shortage may ultimately be expected.
Out of 100000 occupied persons
listed In the census, well above 500
are engaged in agriculture and animal
husbandry, and only little more than
20 in industry. Wages OF farm work
ers range from 23c day in the north
to Acc In the south. When paid on a
seasonal basis, worker earns In pros
porous times from S36 to $55, plus
board and lodging for six months
services.
The Chinese prefer the piecework
system. under which an energetic
coolie can make as much as $77
month by dumping paddy into baskets,
compared with earnings of $40 to $21
for a day laborer.
An odd aspect of the Siamese eco
nomic system is that, reversing con-
ditions in the West, the Siamese bour-
geois Is the one who works steadily,
while 1t Is the peasant who has many
unoccupied months-toO often spent in
drinking, gaming and brigandage. The
government has made a small begin
ming toward technical training for
workers and establishing employment
offices. But the goal of the average
Siamese remains post in the civil
service. Although the government
has recognized the danger Of develop
ing an exclusively Siamese white col
lar class, 1t has so far done little to
avert it.
Chinese workers in the rice mills
Of Bangkok organized series of I
strikes in the 1930s, directed against
a cut in pay The government inter-
yened at the workers request, but no
zeal headway was made in the strug
gle for fair wages. A permanent COM +
nittee to deal with labor problems
was established, however, to be fol- /
lowed by a general labor survey.
In 1888 the national assembly over
defeated a bill to bring
hours, wages and social insurance up

Glacier Trail flour on the flour and
sugar platform, which they had on
the floor of their store, the manager

sacks but they would not sell me any
nor did I see any and l looked for it
closely
This price of CSC for 40 lb. bag
was below the wholesale price on
Glacier Trial flour that day, and | had
sold merchants flour for more money
the day before, in fact, it is lower
than this flour has been sold for, for
several years. If this not violation

| have been operating small flour
mills in this section of Montana for
the past 81 years, doing mostly ex-
change milling for farmers and ranch
ers, and l think, have saved them
lots of money on their flour and feed
If the farmers would stop and con-
slider the object of the large mills and
chain stores in this kind of malicious
advertising they would realize that In
the long run they are the ones that
pay the bill. For the small local mill
is the only competition there is in this
beslness as the large mills don't cut
prices on one another if there is no
other competition.
Now word regarding your valua-

tinue to operate for long time, as
there is no question but what a free
press in Montana will be more i'm

in the coming years than it has been
in our generation 1t will also be
tougher for a free press to sustain
life, so keep up the good work and
don't lose heart.

Dear Editor:
Here is little incident that might
be of interest to you and your read
ers, although it is of vital Importance
to me and I think also to the farmers
of this section of the state.
On February 7, 1941 the Safeway
Store of Malta, Mont, had this sign
in their window, apparently for their
Friday and Saturday special, "49 lb.
bag Glacier Trail Flour 98c" Also
in the same window another sign "49
h. bag own brand flour $1.13."
When l saw this sign l was amazed
as l had never called on this store
to sell flour and was not even ac-
quainted with the clerks or manager
went in as a customer and inquired
about Glacier Trail Flour, the clerk
at once tried to sell me their own
brand and started to tell me how
much better it was, adding that they
only had couple of bags Of Glacier
Trail
The fact is / have never approached
the Safeway Stores with the idea OF
selling them my flour as l know by
experience that the chain stores have

cause of lack of job opportunities to
wait until times get better are not
included in the figures. Also. large
percentage of the 100000 listed as
unknown in other categories,' are
in fact unemployed persons. De-
spite criticism to the contrary, the
defense program in most of its essen
tials, is way ahead of schedule. This
is particularly true Of naval construc-
ton. Divide and rule is still Hit
ler's principal war strategy. That's
what he is now doing in the Balkans.

him. With one such explanation con-
slider his education in civics complete.

Dear Editor
In answer to Mr.. Jake's questions
from Feb. IL, l want to express my
opinion on the matter. If Mr. Jake
thinks that everyone is a Colonel or
Communist then he himself is one,
this also refers to the great company
of the daily paper
Mr.. Jake if you think you are so
smart and complimentary, why don't
you start your own paper? Before
you start anything, you had better
study little more about the consti-
tuition of the United States.
I would advise you to study the
meaning of free speech, worship and
press. If you haven't time or knowl-
edge to go over this question Of free
speech, worship and press, l would
like to inform you it's general mean
ing.
| understand that free speech, wor-
ship, and press means every person
has the right to express himself for
one or more parties on any matter in
fact, as long as he doesn't trespass
on some other persons property.
II we are forced to express our
selves just for one or two parties or
just for the benefit of the big cor
do you think that is free
speech, worship, and press?
No, that will not be any better than
the government of dictators in Eu-
rope.
So if you think you could be one OF
the Colonels or Communists Of the

you are already one of them
