NAzI-MINDED
PRIEST HAS
BIG INCOME
Disclosures Made at Unem-
ployment Hearing Shows
Coughlin's Revenue in 1888
Was Over Half Million
Dollars.

DETROIT.-(FP) - Father Charles
E. Coughlin's Radio Shrine of the
Little Flower collected $1,45S,65S in
the period 1934-1940, it was admitted
at a Michigan Unemployment Com
pensation Commission hearing by
Miss Alberta Ward, bookkeeper and
vice president of Social Justice Pub
fishing Co.
The hearing resulted from the com
missions demand that Coughlin pay
accumulated taxes to protect former
employees from the privations of I'M
employment.
Ignored by the big Detroit dailies,
the proceedings were first publicized
by Editor Harry Read in the Michigan
CLIO News The labor weekly's action
forced the dailies to take note of the
story, and on March II the Associated
Press carried four short paragraphs.
The bookkeeper's testimony showed
huge drop in Coughlin's revenue
from a peak of s574,416 in 1888. In
1889 the income was S102,254 and
in 1910 only S82,2S3.
Coughlins lawyer, James e. Nc
Evoy, made objection after objection,
with Referee Henry Glicman consist
emily overriding him. McEvoy con-
tended that the Radio Shrine was a
religious and charitable organization,
and hence exempt from the unemploy-
ment compensation tax. He admitted,
however, that the U. s. Bureau of
Internal Revenue had denied a plea
for exemption from the income tax.
Although Miss Ward said she had
received no salary for her services
during the past seven years, Coughlin
himself drew sums each year from
1886 to 1889. The total for the four
years was $500. The bookkeeper
was vague about other items in her
financial statements, showing addi-
tional payments to Coughlin of $2,545
in 1886 and s5,052 in 1887.
"They might have been loans" she
suggested.

was what most impressed Norman
Slade, American seaman aboard the
S. S. Reighcount, Panamanian-flae
ship in the first convoy to reach Muir
mansk.
Slade, a member of the Natl Mari
time Union (CIO), was interviewed in
the office of Russian War Relief
March II after completing a 81
month voyage in which his ship
cleared British minefields and escaped
nazi bombing.
"Those longshoremen in Murmansk
sure worked with enthusiasm" he
said. "They put in 12-hour shifts and
some of them even gave up their
lunch hours to speed up the unload
ing of the ship.
"They even continued working dur
ing the air raids which occurred again
and again during the first four days
in port Two days after we sailed a
bomb hit the dock. There were not
enough trucks and tractors and the
cargo was often unloaded onto sleds,
which squad of men got behind
and pushed. The winch drivers were
all women"

from Great Britain and the U. S.

JAP LABOR
PRO and CON
DISCUSSED
Organizations Anxious To
Secure Cheap Labor Favor
1t While Others Think the
Japs Might Endanger Prop
erty and Crops by Sabotage.

The problem of securing sufficient
farm labor became a widely discussed
issue in meetings at Helena this last
week. The state subcommittee on
farm labor met with Commissioner
of Agriculture Albert Kruse to formu-
late program of securing agricul-
tural workers.
Petitions and letters favoring the
importation of Japanese and other
aliens poured into Helena from vari-
GUS county and farm organizations.
Governor Ford announced that the
matter was in the hands of the War
department and that the views Of the
various organizations would be
brought to their attention. Gen. ]. L.
Dewitt, commander of the Western
Defense Command and Fourth Army,
announced during the week in San
Francisco that steps were being taken
to remove all enemy aliens from stra-
tegic areas along the west coast, but
so far no announcement of their in
ternment camps has been released.
Some organizations indicated that
the importation of enemy aliens
would prove dangerous inasmuch as
it would provide danger of sabotage
and subversive activity. They pointed
out that the aliens could set wheat
fields, forests, and prairie lands on
fire and cause immense damage.
Those in charge of agricultural pro-
duction said that unless some method
of securing labor was discovered Mon
tana's production of sugar beets and
other commodities would be seriously
curtailed Thus the matter stood at
the end Of the week and no deter
mination had been made.

extra stream into the milk pail
to feed fighters and civilians.
The No. / conundrum confronting
dairymen is the decision of Pres. John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers
(CIO) to combine forces with the
Dairy Farmers Union (unaffiliated).
The present DFU officers rode to
power a year ago on an anti-Lewis,
anti-CIO, Communist platform, re-
jecting the friendly relations with or
ganized labor which the DFU's de-
posed founder, Archie Wright, had en-
couraged.
Lewis says the job of unions is to
organize He has reached an under
standing with the five members of the
DFU general organization committee,
who announced in February that they
had voted unanimously to affiliate
with UNIV District so. They paid
tribute to the brilliant and fruitful
labor craftsmanship of Mr. Lewis"
and recalled the help given by CLIO
unions to striking farmers.
If District SO was enthusiastic for
the tieup with the dairy farmers, 9TH
er CLIO unions were not. The Greater
New York Industrial Union Council,
through Sec. Saul Mills, announced it
is mot interested in the type of or
ganization represented by the Dairy
Farmers Union"
"The recent history of the Dairy
Farmers Union, now headed by re-
tired lawyer and having retired in
dustrialist (Owen D. Young) as its
spiritual leader, makes it's value to
labor as we'll as the farming popula-
ton open to question" he said There
are, however, many thousands of
farmers in the New York milkshed
who deserve labor's support and they
will get all possible assistance"
Other critics question the aims OF
Lewis, specializing whether he has dis
covered in the farmers a politically
useful bloc.
Barnyard opposition to the District
so tieup finds expression either in a |
general remuneration of all organized |
effort or, more often, in swing to
the Farmers Union of the New York |
Milkshed (unaffiliated), an organiza-
ton established last year by Archie
Wright upon progressive nucleus
