operating under court order perma-
nently restraining violation of the
Wage and Hour Law, it was an
nounced today by L. A. Hill, regional
director, Wage and Hour Division, u.
S. Department of Labor.
Waving defense to complaint
filed by w. D. Murray, assistant u. s..
attorney, Rubin Sinclair consented to

ors, Sinclair had paid his employees
less than 30 cents an hour since Octo-
Der, 1910. Failure to pay time and
one-half for hours worked by his en-
ployees over A, AZ and 40 a week

Of the Bill of Rights. The pursuit OF
happiness, they put in union con
tract"
In an attempt to stop the upsurge
of unionism, the employers resort to
espionage. The film shows how two
spies are planted in a local. One OF
them (played by Howard DaSylva)
is caught writing his report at the
meeting. The picture of this spy,
sinking out of the hall under the
contemptuous stares of the unionists,
will be long remembered.
The most forceful sequence in Ma
tive Land is that of the spy who is
dent of the local. Art Smith as the
spy reveals his mental torture while
carrying out an assignment to get the
locals membership list. The camera
turns next to the factory, where the
discharge slips are being handed out.
"Inefficiency, INSTRUMENTATION, econ
omy, nothing" the commentator says.
1T was Just membership list, but
this was the result"
Returning to the vigilante theme,
the film shows storekeeper SYM
pathetic to unionism driven out of
town, the Ku Klux Khan murder of
Joseph Shoemaker in Tampa, the
Memorial Day massacre at Chicago.
Protests grow The clamor reaches
Washington, where the LaFollette
committee launches an investigation.
The scene shifts to the labor spy
agencies, busily destroying their re-
cords. The scraps are seized by the
committee agents and pieced together.
The film ends with the people vic
torious in their fight for civil rights
on the domestic scene, but faced with
the new threat of Hitlerism.
The photography, done by Paul
Strand, is magnificent. The modern
musical score by Marc Blitzstein and
the commentary, written by David |
Wolff and delivered by Robson, are
effective.
The film would have cost close to
100000 to produce in Hollywood, Di-
rector Hurwitz said, but Frontier
Films held the budget to 100000. A
number of individuals interested in
civil rights contributed to the financ-
ng.
Produced over 3-year period with
IN a 300-mile radius of New York, the
picture was completed late in 1871.
Union shots were taken in an actual
Inion hall in Connecticut town.

zone of the most remarkable pol
icies adopted by all four programs is
the amalgamation of preventive and
curative services" says Goldman.
There is no artificial dividing line
between examination and treatment,
between advice and restoration to
health.
Easy accessibility of all needed
service to the people covered greatly
facilitates early diagnosis and prompt
treatment of incipient Illnesses as
well as of supposedly minor injuries.
All four plans offer a number of spe-
cial services for apparently well per-
sons: prenatal care, including home
visits by visiting nurses; well-baby
conferences conducted by pediatri-
clans; vaccinations and immuniza-
lions; periodic health examinations of
adults; dental hygiene service; and,
to limited extent, public health
nursing"
Comprehensive medical care at
such low cost is made possible, Gold
man observed, through the group
method Of employing general practi-
TONERS and specialists on full-time
basis. The physicians themselves
earn more than the average doctor.
General practitioners begin with net
incomes Of $4,000, with increases
based on years of service; specialists
usually receive $1,000 and upward.
The expense of these plans is usual
ly divided between workers and man
agement. The arrangements believe
that the plans are worth much more
than they cost because they reduce
absenteeism from sickness and in
crease productive efficiency.

ffy for the subsidy
The average worker can tend about
10 acres of beets. The Department
of Agriculture rate at present is $21. so
an acre, or an average of about 1915
for the season. The union asks for
$50 an acre.
Growers are opposed to the higher
scale. They are equally unreceptive
to union demands for improved hous-
ing, to replace the filthy shacks now
provided; for garden plots with water,
so that beet workers can participate
in the food-for-victory program; and
an increased allotment of acreage per
worker, so that total earnings will be
higher.
All in all, the beet sugar Industry
presents a picture that would make
visitor from Mars hurry back to his
planet. Consumers throughout the
nation are taxed to provide money to
enrich the big growers, and then they
are taxed again to provide money for
the relief agencies that must support
the workers between seasons.
IF the workers are on WPA," Sharp
says, "it has been customary to dis
charge them some weeks before the
beet field work begins, thus prevent
ing them from resigning to accept en-
ployment in private industry.
This assures a surplus of hungry
workers for the industry, and saves
WPA from having to take them back
on the expiration of their work, If
they are still in need. This, under
its own regulations, WPA would be
obliged to do, il the workers had re-
signed for private employment"

The board in cooperation with the
grain growers of the state has con
sistently and vigorously opposed thii
privilege, because it would give Min

from Minneapolis to Chicago for that
portion of the through transportation
as compared with a rate of 13 cents
that Montana millers would have tc
pay for the same transportation on

manipulation of transit balances"
Minneapolis millers would be enabled

the products of Montana wheat and
ship in competition with them at the
lower rates, a distinct disadvantage
to Montana interests of " cents per
100 pounds.
This privilege was condemned in
six decisions of the Interstate Com

made to enact law that would as

introduction Of Senate Bill No. 2444

on both these measures were held by
committees of both houses, beginning

on behalf Of the board and the mill

state. This also failed and petition
was filed with Western Rail Lines in
July, 1889 in hope that the privilege
sought for might be obtained by vol

This petition was likewise opposed by

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER T. ANDERSON

In the whole category of disloca
lions caused by the war there is M
single economic restriction that will
be so universally felt as the rationine
of sugar This will affect everyone
from the infant in arms to the octo
genarian with no teeth except his
sweet one. A pound a week per in
dividual with an extra allowance in
canning time should work no great
hardship upon the populace but II
will make sugar a luxury in many
homes instead of the common item
lavishly and without stint A pound
week Is fifty-two pounds a year
which looks like enough for most peo-
pie but 1t is far below the annual
consumption in normal years. We
once had a bachelor homesteader on
the Big Flat who got away with four
times this amount while the sun went
through its seasons. He reconverted
the sugar into syrup and used 1t on
his sour dough pancakes. He never

to discover If so much sweet was
good for him.
Governments, state and federal have
gone to great pains and expense to
preserve wild life. Among the birds
of passage that annually intrigue the
sportsmen is the Mallard duck In
these latter days when decoys are
forbidden by law it isn't every hunter
who can outwit these wary fowl and
return to camp with his daily bag.
Raised In the wild the mallard is
swift upon the wing and a challenge
to the practiced marksman. Domes-
ticated they are complacent and as
as other barnyard fowls.
Reared in captivity they are relieved
of the necessity of hunting their food
In distant feeding grounds and grow
up without the ability to fly. Dearth
Of wing practice as ducklings forbids
their joining their untamed brethren
in the annual migrations. Were all
ducks nurtured in the easy life and
then turned loose to fend for them
selves they would soon join the dodo
in the never-never land. The mallard
is a gourmand for No. 1, dark north
ern of high protein and lays on fat
like an alderman or a Dusseldorf
butcher. This makes them what they
are, toothsome table fowl.
But we are led to wonder if the |
epicures of the nation and those of |
The city of Butte in particular have |
really discovered what a fancy dish |
roasted duck is. A Big Flat rancher |
who has been raising mallards for |
years found himself overstocked last |
Christmas and made a shipment to
Butte dealer. These were prime
birds with emerald heads or plumage
If Quaker brown. When the check
zane back the producer discovered |
lucks and ducats are not synonymous
erms. The ducks weighed three |
pounds each, live weight at Butte
ind fetched 81 cents per head, net.
The rancher has decided in the future
lie will keep 'em flying!
