The plan originally outlined provided for State Meat

and this committee funconing in cooperation with the county
boards to be in control of the issuing of permits to

0PA FILES SUIT AGAINST
LEWIST0WN HIDE FUR co.
Triple Damages Asked On Charge That
Company Sold Iron and Steel Scrap to
Utah Copper Co. and Collected Commits
sions In Addition to Profits.

Suit for triple damages in the
amount of s5,741.37 against the Lewis
town Hide and Fur Company was in
stituted this morning in the Great
Falls division of the United States
district court according to the state
Office of Price Administration.
The complaint alleges that Joseph
H. Livin and Harry E. Lewon doing
business as the Lewistown Hide and
Fur Company sold 100 carloads of
iron and steel scrap between January
Bird and March 9th, 1913, to the Utah
Copper Company and collected a COM
mission in addition to their profit.
OPA alleges excessive commissions in
the amount of S1,913.79 were collected
and is suing for treble damages or
$5,74137.
OPA price regulations provide that
where a dealer charges a commission
for obtaining scrap he shall not at the
same time charge more than the pur-
chase price paid for the scrap. He
has the alternative of increasing his
selling price to the OPA ceiling but in
such cases he cannot charge a COM
OPA charges that the defendants
in this acton made a profit in han

the purchaser a commission

PRESIDENTS
Attitude Is
QUESTIONED

With the appearance on August
18th in the N. Y. Herald Tribune Of
report ION high authority" that the
President intends to press for the pas
sage of the Austin Wadsworth bill
| the oft repeated warning of the Work
ers Defense League that the draft la
Dor movement will be pushed imme
diately on the reconvening of congress
seems to be approaching fulfillment.
Immediately upon publication of the
report, the Workers Defense League,
recently characterized by the Herald
Tribune as the "spearhead of labor's
opposition to the BILL" sent a tele-
gram to President Roosevelt urging
that he express his confidence in the
American people by instructing Byrnes
and McNutt to drop this anti-demo-
cratic draft labor proposal The WDL
was joined in its protest with state
ments from James Myers, Industrial
Secretary of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ, who personally
felt that "the proposed Austin-Wads-
worth bill would constitute big step
towards the nazi and fascist concept
of compulsory labor" and B. F. Nc
Laurin, speaking for the March on
Washington Movement, who urged
full use of negro workers as an alter

defendant had already pleaded guilty.
The complaint charges thar 100000

contract for which the government
had paid $650,0O0 The bad powder
was delivered under lend-lease to

made the first complaint and later the
same complaint came from Russia.
The Department and Agriculture and

COP TRUMPETER
'P0STP0NES' MEET

Frank Gannett, reactionary pub
Usher who recently has been flooding
editorial desks with releases bemoan-
ing the food situation which has de-
veloped under the New DEAF and
who has called for a food confer
ence" to be held in Chicago next
month, if he can get anyone to attend,
has represented in his releases that
the conference called has been urged
by large numbers deeply interested
in agriculture.
1t is known that one or two gecre-
taries or commissioners of agricul-
ture. fanatic enemies of the admins
tration, have given half-hearted sup
port to the proposal Their enthus-
iasm for the proposed meeting which
will undoubtedly develop into a COP
attack on the administration, is prob
ably tempered by some realization
that the leading proponent cannot be
said to have displayed any deep con-
Germ for agriculture in the past.
In letter received this week by
Montana's commissioner of agricul-
ture, Albert H. Kruse from the presi-
dent of the National Association of
Commissioners, Secretaries and Di-
rectors of agriculture, r. A. Trovat-
ten of Minnesota, it is made clear
that the organization is not directly
or indirectly sponsoring a food con-
ference in Chicago ON September the
Sth and 9TH and adds that the "as-
ISOLATION is not and never has been
