DRESSED UP

The Educational Cooperative Pub
fishing Company's building has been
dressed up with two more coats of
stucco and now presents an attractive
appearance. 1t is finished in a dull
white, and painting of the caves, win
dows and roof is planned as soon as
finances are available.
II. D. Rolph, state president of the
Farmers Union has undertaken the
task of raising funds for the neces-
sary work to be done to complete the
building and beautify the surrounding
grounds. Up to the present, not quite
enough has been raised to pay for
all of the materials and labor for the
stucco work done, but remittances are
still being received by him according
to a report received yesterday. The
complete list of contributors with the
names of new contributors each week
will be carried in The Voice until
sufficient funds have been raised A
total Of $11.50 was received for the
work this past week.

MOTHERS CAN
STOP WAR
SAYS RANKIN

| WASHINGTON, d. C.-(Special to
The Voice. -"There is nothing in the
world the mothers of this country
would like on this Mothers Day so
much as assurance that their sons
are not going to be taken to war"
Standing before an applauding
House of Representatives, Miss Jean
nette Rankin, who represents the first
Montana district in the House, made
this solemn declaration on the eve of
Mothers Day.
The House had under consideration
the taking of the ships of one bellig
erent nation and giving them to an
other belligerent, and also was dis
cussing the conveying of merchant
ships by American battle cruisers.
1.-THE mothers of America are not
going to have their sons sent to war
if they can prevent it-and they can,"
she continued. "You may think this
Congress can declare war and send
the men to Europe, but if the mothers
of this country say No, no matter
what Congress wishes those men will
not be sent to war"
She outlined a concurrent resolution
she was offering, which would forbid
the sending of American armed forces
outside this hemisphere or the insular
possessions of the United States.
Miss Rankin, who was. the first
woman ever to be elected to the
House of Representatives, voted
against our entry into the first World
War. Now, by a curious decree of
Fate, she finds herself a member of
Congress in these perilous days when
America seems to be again tottering
on the brink of involvment in another
gigantic struggle.
She insisted that this government
make clear statement of "our mill
tary policy and have it conform to
national policy representing the con-
victions of the American people.
"The American mothers want to |
protect our shores from INVASION" she |
"but they do not believe the |
war method can be used to settle dis
putes. The women must refuse to |
have the mothers work sacrificed for |
he profits of few"

Benjamin, executive secretary of that

"Mr. O'Connell will be able to con-
tinue his efforts on behalf of the la

scale in his new post" Mr. Benjamin
declared, "since the TWO is labor's
foremost and largest fraternal benefit

Board which would bar the
farmers of the Broadwater sec
ton from the use of any of the
waters of the Missouri river
for irrigation purposes.
The case involves the rights claimed
by the power company to exclusive
use of the waters of the Missouri for
the development of power, but the
water users contend that their use of
flood waters impounded by the Toston
dam, does not affect any rights of the
Montana Power Company adversely.
A survey is under way by the
United States Bureau of Reclamation,

Company and the Montana Water Con-

rights of all parties to the use of
the Missouri waters on a basis of fair

PRIEST OFFERS
PRAYER
IN Enemy CAMP

MONROE, La.-Taking a tip from
the monkey-on-a-stick governor of the
adjoining state of Texas, the Louisi-
ana State Police Jury association this
week struck out viciously at labor by
adopting an anti-strike resolution.
They then called upon Father Fran
els p Donohoe of the local parish for
an invocation the next morning The
delegates were stunned to hear a pro-
labor prayer. Father Donohoe, man
of God, and unafraid said:
"Most especially today, o God, we
sorely need Thy guidance and the
| light Of Thy holy wisdom Under the
stress of these tumultuous times,
many in their short-sightedness and
misguided by a partial and prostituted
press, have forgotten the ways of
brotherhood and have struck out saw
agely against the honest workers of
our land, falsely accusing labor of
sinister motives and want of patri-
otism.
For the peace and welfare of our
mother country, enlighten the eyes
and illumine the minds of these zeal
Gus and misguided souls, that they
may see rather the greed and selfish
ness of capital that has thwarted our
plans to defend our country, by trait
orously sitting down until defense
bids were given on their own terms.
Thou knowest that for months cap
ital refused to expand our defense
,aIa Mt RI Lot 10
train skilled workers or even to ac-
cept our government orders. They
abolished the law of profit limitations
to enrich themselves at the price of
the workers blood
Thou, o Lord, Who has sanctified
labor by the work of Thy own divine
hands, bless the worker, grant that
these men here may have the wisdom
and courage to help right the wrong
suffered by Thy fellow workers, and
hasten the day when the charity of
Christ may dwell in the hearts of
men"
A guilty silence gripped the con-
vention as Father Donohoe stepped |
down from the rostrum and walked |
from the hall. Later there were NUT |
terings. WED have booed him If he
hadn't been preacher" one delegate
remarked
The resolution adopted on the prev
ious day condemned all strikes in de-
Tense industries, irrespective of merit,
and called upon the federal govern
ment to open struck plants-and deal |
severely with persons responsible for
strikes or shutdowns. Electrical |

sive in scope, requires considerable
time and the final report, it is stated,
cannot be expected for another year.
Pending this report, the Water Users
Association claims the right to the
use of the waters for irrigation pur-
poses, so long as it does not affect
the immediate needs of the Montana
Power Company. The power COM
pany however, has adopted a dog

the courts to stop any use of the wa
tiers by the farmers.
Affidavit of Prejudice
According to the affidavit of preju-
dice, filed by G. ]. Douseman, attor-
ney for the water users, as result
OF Judge Baldwin's statements in
court when he refused the continu-
ance Of the case, the judge broke into
Mr. Dousemen's presentation of ex
PLANTATION why the continuance was
being asked, and entered into an ex-
tensive discussion of his views in con-
nection with the case and the issues
involved. Douseman contends in the
affidavit that he was prevented from
making any further explanation of the
interests of his clients and that the
judge had not read at all, three of
the affidavits presented on behalf of
the defendants in support of the mo-
ton for continuance. He charged
that the judge spent considerable time

Taking cognizance Of the charges
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the National
Youth Administration program in the
state which has been brought to the
fore by accounts published in The
Voice. a committee appointed by the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, has been engaged in an investi-

made by several girls who had been
members of the personnel of the NYA

These charges involved unlawfully
long hours of daily work imposed on

Impractical" New Dealers VS..
practical" Businessmen

Since oil and water do not mix, II
was only a matter of time before eth
er the impractical New Dealers or
the practical dollar-a-year business
men would make a bid for the tops
position in the national defense set
up Although the race is not yet over
the New Dealers are winning it-and
they are winning it because, Of all
things, they have proved that they are
more practical than the hard boiled
men of business.
The race began with Knudsen, Stet-
tinius, Biggers ct al pretty much in a
position of control, with only Sidney
Hillman of the New Dealers in weak
challenging position Knudsen was
second only to FDR himself.
But look at the picture now! Harry
Hopkins, surrounded by a group of
liberals, is in virtual charge of the en-
tire lease-lend program. He is eat
ing at the same table and sleeping
under the same roof as the President,
whether it be the White House, the
Roosevelt summer home at Hyde
Park, or cruiser at sea. From the
standpoint of determining the course
of the present and future economy of
America, the position of Leon Hender-
son is even more important. He is
the price czar of the country; the
chief economic advisor to the Presi-
dent, and will have as much to say
about production as Knudsen or any
body else. Hillman has been elevated
on the OPM to position of equality
with that OF Knudsen. DR.. Dykstra,
chairman Of the National Defense Me-
diation board, is beginning to loom in
the general defense picture. Those
who predicted that the dollar-a-year
boys would run the show are eating
crow.

IS0LATI0NISTS OUT
OF LUCK in MIAMI

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Charges
that the city Of Miami, Fla, has in
stituted virtually complete censorship
were made in the senate May 6 by
Sen. Bennett G.. Clark 3D., MOI.
Clark, an isolationist, said that the
city council of Miami had refused per-
mission for a speech there by former
Gov. Philip LaFollette of Wisconsin
unless he agreed to submit copy
of his speech first and proved to the
satisfaction of the council that the
America First Committee is not
"subversive organization"
He also charged that judge in
Florida who previously granted a
charter to local America First COM
mittee later revoked the charter on
technical grounds.
