OF all governmental controls.
The arrangements for the
meeting have been made by
Ralph Moore, formerly Grange
Master in Texas, where he had
managed to discredit himself
completely with the farmers
by fighting their programs. Lately
he has functioned as a lobbyist in
Washington working with the Farm
Bloc
While arch reactionary publisher
and republican presidential aspirant
Frank Gannett has been the prime
mover for the conference, the sponsor
of the meeting is called the National
Farm Committee. The idea for this
was conceived by Commissioners of
Agriculture j. E. Mcdonald of Texas
and Tom Under of Georgia. This or
ganiZation was conceived by these
two worthless when they discovered
that they would be unable to carry
through their program of opposition
to the New Deal through the National
Association of State Commissioners of
Agriculture. The national association
did not look with much enthusiasm
as an organization on an attempt to
secure it as the sponsor of this Gan
nett conference.
Montanas Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Albert H. Kruse, like all of the
state commissioners of agriculture has
received letter from Senator Elmer
Thomas of Oklahoma recognized as
an inflationist, enclosing laudatory
article about Ralph Moore carried in
a recent issue of the Liberty maya

unity Of all forces within the |. u. M.
M. & S. w. and without. Robinson
closed his address with the warning
that "Unless every delegate, every Of
l'ficer and every member of this great
organization does unite they must be
prepared to assume the responsibility
of answering our $1,000 members in
the armed forces and to the entire
working class who look upon such
conventions as this to hasten the
downfall of fascism."
| Robinson devoted a considerable
portion of his speech to reviewing the
history of the union and it's predeces-
sor, the Western Federation of Min
ers, which was organized in 1893 in
Butte. He utilized the unions 50-year
history to impress upon the delegates
the heritage for which they we're
fighting today in the war against the
Axis.
Other speakers at the opening days
sessions were Gov. Sam Ford of Mon
tana and Mayor Barry OLeary of
Butte. Ford spoke briefly on post
war problems and expressed the
thanks of the people of Montana for
the patriotic record of the l. U. M. M.
G. S. w. locals in this state. Appoint
ment of convention committees and
the reading of greetings to the dele
gates consumed the major portion of
the remaining time of the opening
day.
Greetings were received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Vice President Wal
lace, CLIO President Philip Murray,
War Production Board Chairman DON
aid Nelson, General Dwight Eisen-
hover, Gov. Sidney Osborn of Arizona,
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins,
President Sidney Hillman of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and
others.
Tuesday mornings session was en-
tirely devoted to the eagerly awaited
reports of President Robinson and
Secretary Treasurer James ]. Leary.
Describing the phenomenal growth
of the l. U. NJ M. & S. w. since its
reorganization in 1888, Robinson's re-
port showed that just 10 years ago
the union had but six functioning To-
Gals with a total of 1857 members.
Today, the president revealed, there
are several hundred functioning locals
with more than 100000 members.
More than $1,000 members have en-
tered the armed forces; of these many
already have lost their lives.
Robinsons report included discus
sion of the following subjects, with
for action by the
convention on many of them:
Endorsement of CLOS position in
support of President Roosevelt's win
the-war policies necessity for swift
action by the United Ma
tions to follow up the fall of Italy and
other Allied victories; the growing
need for united labor political action
to turn back the tide of reaction and
make congress a force for winning
the war; reiteration of the no-strike
pledge and rededication to labors
primary war task of about produc-
tion further recommendations for
solution of manpower problems in
Guiding greater use of women and
racial minorities; war production

SYNTHETIC TIRE PRICES
CONSUMER COAL PILES
SMALLER

The amount of coal held in storage
by consumers diminished $4,000 tons
during July, Harold L. Ickes, solid
fuels administrator, reported recently.
1--WE have less coal in storage now
than we had month ago." the adj
ministrator said. "The limitations on
production make it uncertain to what
extent output can be increased. Con-
sequently it would be wise to con-
serve coal by all possible means so
that there will be enough of it to
carry on all essential activities and
to keep the public warm"

at plants under supervision of the

those ideals, principles and convic-
tions which have been our heritage
through the ages since mankind first
received the teachings from the
Master. It is likewise a time for the
determination of Americas position
in a world which has closed the
churches in many lands and which
seems determined. to ignore the need
of planting the roots of government
in the soil of Christianity and a
brotherhood of man."
Leo A. Rover, former district at
torney: II believe that now more
than at any other time during my
lifetime we owe it to our country to
keep v1vidly before our fellow citi-
zens the beneficial lessons to be
learned from a serious study and
contemplation of the life and death
of Christ and certainly the observ-
ance of each Good Friday in the
manner indicated will to some ex-
tent at least accomplish this highly
desirable aim
Right Rev A. w. Leonard, resident
Methodist Bishop of Washington: ::
Il sincerely hope that this day may
mean much to the Christian people
of Washington and that we may all
unite in an appropriate recognition
OF the significance of Good Friday"
William Green, president of Amer
ican Federation of Labor: II esteem
it a privilege and pleasure to CO.
operate fully in the proper observ-
ance of Good Friday"
Philip Murray, president of Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations
Il will be most pleased to cooperate
with you in the matter of Good Fri
day observance. I have always tried
to carry this out before, and fee
that this Is necessary"

3-Hour Observance
OF Good Friday
Religious, Civic, Labor
Officials Stress Need
Of Spiritual Values

Prominent religious, civic and
labor leaders today made a plea for
a three-hour city-wide observance
from noon to pm. on Good Friday,
Statements from the leaders, all
members of the committee for the
Three Hours Observance OF Good
Friday, follow:
Most Rev. Michael ]. Curley, arch
bishop of Baltimore and Washing
ton: 1.-THE world needs our blessed
Lord and Saviour today more than
ever. It always needed Him, but
today it needs Him more precisely
because men have forgotten Him
and are trying to get along without
Him, hence the troubles in our war
torn world. I hope that millions OF
our people throughout this country
will come together between the
hours of IL and 3 on Good Friday,
April %, to think of the sufferfngs
of the Victim of Calvary and the
why of those sufferings. 1t will
bring our people closer to the suf-
fering Christ and bring our world
closer to peace with justice and
charity for which all of us are pray
ing at this moment"
Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, bishop
Of Washington: Certainly we need
to turn from the things of the world
on this holy day and to stand
reverently before the cross with its
uplifted Saviour
Edward M. Curran, United States
District Attorney: Il very heartily
indorse such religious movement
and I sincerely hope to see the mer-
chants and businessmen join in its
observance. 1t would seem especially
fitting in this time of world turmoil
and distress to turn our thoughts to
our Redeemer for guidance in our
human affairs
Daniel C. Roper, former Secre-
Evening star., 1943-04-04

tary of Commerce: Il am deeply
interested in the objectives of the
committee. The successful defense
of this Nation and its objectives de-
pends upon the quickening of the
appreciation of the spiritual forces
among our people"
John A. Reilly, president, Second
National Bank: In these trying
days greater emphasis should be
placed on spiritual values by all
Americans regardless of race or
creed. I indorse the program and
wish you every success in the fur
therance of this wholesome move
ment."
Paul B. Cromelin. president. Dis
trict Bar Association: Believing as
I do that there is an ever-present
and increasing need for manifesto
ton on the part of our people gen.
orally of their devotion to Christian
principles and ideals, and that this
devotion may be best manifested
through the medium of our churches,
l heartily indorse the religious OBJ
servance of Good Friday"
Wilbur La Roe, jr., attorney and
member of the District Parole
Board: Il think that world condi-
tions make it eminently desirable
to set aside part of Good Friday
to give men and women an oppor-
tunity to think about the deeper
things of life. There is no use in
our being physically prepared If we
are not spiritually prepared"
Coleman Jennings, president,
Community Chest: Il am heartily
behind you and the other ministers
who are approaching the stores of
Washington with the idea of asking
them to cooperate from IL to 3
on Good Friday in order to give
their employees an opportunity of
attending the threehour services" "
Justice Bolitha j. Laws, United
States District Court: Il feel tre-
mendously interested in the splen-
did work which is being done to
bring about an appropriate OBJ
servance of the anniversary of Good
Friday"
Stanley Pearson, jeweler: II am
delighted to add my voice to those
who are cooperating with you in
an effort to have Good Friday OBJ
served from IL noon until 3 pm"

Cheese Producers Association an
nounced today that 1t was asking
the States Senators to intercede
with OPA in an attempt to have
foreign-type cheese removed from
point rationing.
The producers maintain ration
ing of foreign-type cheese, particu-
larly Swiss, is impractical because
it leads to waste in cutting wheels
to meet customers wants. They
also said their product was not
necessary to the war effort, mas
much as the Government specifl-
cally refused foreign type cheese
for Government and lease-lend
buying.

Hello Folks:
Ideal weather and the beauty
that summer brings is with US
again, turning our thoughts to-
ward outdoor picnies, games and
outdoor dances. Now that Deeora-
ton Day is quite near, many Twin
Gtians are planning outings and
get-tOgethers as near to the city
as possible because of gas ration
ing. One thing we Twin Citians
can be thankful for, and that is we
are surrounded by beautiful lakes
and parks right in our cities and on
the outskirts Of town. None Of US
will want for a park to go to on
Decoration Day.

Wedding Ring Department:
My bet that one of the loveIest
weddings of this coming summer
season will be that Of REV. ROB-
ERT KELLY, pastor of Border NJ.
E. Church, and MATTIEDNA
JOHNSON of Mariana, Arkansas.
That newly engaged couple,
GERALD PORTER, Boys Worker
at Halle Q. Brown House, and
DOROTHY HALL, Nursery Direc-
tor at Wheatley House, are just as
happy as can be these days dash
ing about the Twin Cities, buying
furniture for their new apartment,
which they will occupy after their
wedding on June 21st- dorothy
has selected her wedding gown, too,
which is said to be quite lovely.)

feels rather down in spirits these
days, since her love presented her
with a diamond engagement ring.
Why, do you say? Well, it seems
that every time she looks at the
ring she gets a terrific headache
trying to see the diamond which
is almost too small for human eye
to discern. (Say, lassie, you should
Mt think Of the size of the dia-
mond, it's the sentiment that
counts.) -. Congrats to CRESSA
