PRIZE RING IS
 SETTING FOR
 CURRENT FILM
''Knotkout" Now Playing al 2Oth Century Is
 Thrill Packed

The story of a prizefighter who was a champ in the ring and a chump out of it until his wife brought him to his senses, is bril- liantly depcted in Warner Bros. new film, Knockout which is playing at the 20th Century The atre.
 The picture stars Arthur Ken nedy. who became famous for his portrayal of Cagney's brother in City For Conquest and lovely Olympe Bradna, in her first pie ture for Warmers.
 Kennedy tops his City For Con- quest" performances with his por- trayal of hard-hitting fighter with the qualities of champion who wants to quit the ring before he starts walking around on his heels. Miss Bradna gives a charm ing performance of his wife who sympathizes with his desire to quit the ring but becomes reconciled when he finds it necessary to stay in the fighting game.
 Virginia Field Is excellent as gold digging blonde who makes. a play for Kennedy.

BOB MONTGOMERY HEADS CAST IN

 by James Hilton
OB MONTGOMERY movies

Evidence that new Hollywood faces are always welcome is the pleasing appearance of Ingrid Berg man, co-starred with Robert Mont gomery in Rage in Heaven which is playing for the last times to- night at the Capitol Theatre.
 You are sure to see much of Miss Bergman in the immediate future, because she is not only fine actress but an exciting and definitely different" personality.
 Miss Bergmans presence is not the only asset of this excellent and absorbing film. It has Montgom- cry in another daring psychological role. the character study of weak ling who drives himself insane with the belief that his wife loves his best friend.
 But combined with this charac- terization is one of the most thrill ing perfect crime stories ever written. It is from the pen of James Hilton, the author of Good bye. MT. Chips" and Lost Horizon

| Those amazing people who arrogate
all there Is in the world OF absolute
virtue are guilty of something worse
than effrontery. No humane person
begrudges their kittenish vanity this
opportunity to arch it's back and de-
mand to be stroked After all, they
were historically right-some of them
for as much as eighteen months be-
fore the event-in supporting meas
ures for an inevitable war against the
Axis. But in dwelling so much upon
it they are threatening to make their
rightness greater wrong than honest
error. Many of the loudest of them
were isolationists themselves barely
six months ago. If they persist in re.
garding this war as a war against
Americans who happened to disagree
with them or whom they happen to
dislike, it seems likely that they will
have to be confronted with their own

Governor Ford has denied the re-

that organized labor delayed too long

Armstrong, Baldwin and Winkler have
advised me that Mr.. Hansen's ap-
pointment was discussed with a mum.
Der of labor men in the county who
had no objection to his appointment"
According to Perry S. Melton, sec
rotary of the Kalispell Central Trades
and Labor Council, he was casually
contacted by o. ]. Armstrong (repre-
sentative from Flathead county and
repeatedly much in the governors
favor on the street the day before
Christmas concerning the liquor store
matter. AS is customary in labor cir
cles, the contact was reported by Mel
ton to the regular meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Council December 26, 1871.
A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the case and the committee made
a request Of the governor, by wire,
on December 20, asking him to with
hold the proposed appointment of
Hansen until the authorized repre-
sentatives of labor could present their
views in person. Governor Ford
promptly replied to the wire, granting
an interview for Saturday, January
3, 1912 at the state capitol in Helena.
According to Melton, labor had no
knowledge of the fact that the State
Liquor Control Board had already met
December 26 and decided to remove
Johnston as vendor in Kalispell in
favor of Hansen.
The Central Labor Council commit
tee has been unable to locate any OF
the number of labor men" who pur-
portedly had no objection" to Han

this was reflected in larger receipts

grades of hard winter wheat. Later
the market lost part of the advance
and loan repayments decreased. Lib
eral purchases of G. c. c. wheat were
made at Kansas City on a reduction
in prices announced early in the week
which made government owned wheat
attractively priced in comparison with
open market offerings. The price re-
duction was later rescinded, the C. c.

LITTLE LUTHER

Father" said Little Luther, :"
guess the soldiers are really mao
now"
How is that?"
Remember how the employers and
the newspapers said 1t was an out
rage for workers to demand 1919 in
creases when the boys in the army
were getting only $50 a month";"
Absolutely true, Luther, but that
is not all. Unjustified wage increases
set the vicious wage-price spiral in
motion Prices go up, and then the
worker is no better off than before.
1t Is tragic that our so-called leaders
of labor are too blind or too selfish
to understand these simple economic
truths"
well, father, there's nothing petty
about the companies producing raw
materials for the war effort. Look
what they have just got: a 1870 in
crease in the price of zinc, a 41%o in
crease for copper, and 62% increase
for lead! Who's starting the infla-
ton spiral now?"
Come, Luther, you are misinter-
preting the situation. These new
prices do not apply to the total out
put-merely to the excess over 1941
production and to metals produced
from properties that were not worked
last year.
Father, l think you are underesti-
mating the shrewdness of American
businessmen. OF course, If these
companies had really been engaged in
about production last year like they
said they were, there wouldn't be any
excess this year to be bought at the
high prices. But the union has shown
that they were holding back, leaving
mines unworked and miners idle until
they got the price they wanted.
II have seen nothing to this effect
in the papers,"
81 don't think you will, either I'M
less you start reading the labor press.

clever men, father, but can you ina

TIMES Of Governor Ford and his three
Flathead county advisors, Armstrong
Baldwin and Winkler.
Much criticism is being directed to-
ward the governor based on the fol-
lowing quotations from his message
to the 1941 session of the legislature:
Experience during the last four
years has demonstrated many weak
nesses in our liquor control laws. The
recent campaign provides ample proof
for the conclusion that the liquor bust
ness has no place in politics, and
that the administration of our liquor
laws must be divorced from politics
and political corruption. l concur in
a statement made by an administra-
tive officer who said:
Liquor and politics, fermented in
the same vat, have always produced
corruption and always will
There has been widespread and
very sincere and vigorous criticism of
the so-called "spoils system" as ap-
piled to the employees of this state.
Il believe that we ought to guaran-
tee to all citizens of this state a fair
and equal opportunity for public serv-
ice, irrespective of religious or polit-
ical considerations"
