of the United States supreme court
in the case of William Schneiderman
has been issued by the American
Committee for Protection of Foreign
Born, it was announced today In the
Schneiderman case, the United States
supreme court held that the Justice

"The decision of the United States
supreme court in the case of William
Schneiderman is a landmark in the
development of American constitu-
tional history. The issues at stake
in this case transcend the status of
any one political party or the rights
of any one individual. The issues in
volve the political liberty of all par
ties and of all Americans-our free
dom to think as we see fit. The
court ruled in favor of the people. .

UNHAMPERED
PRODUCTION
RECOMMENDED

The immediate removal of all gov
| ernmental policies, rules and regula
lions tending to restrict, control OF
products, was recommended by the
North Central States Association OF
Commissioners, Secretaries and Direc-
tors of Agriculture at their annual
meeting held at Detroit Lakes, Mimi,
August 5, 6, and Z, Commissioner of
Agriculture Albert H. Kruse said upon
his return.
Also recommended by the associa-
ton was the passage by congress of
Legislation that would provide for a
permanent parity price structure, and
legislation requiring federal agencies
to comply with state laws, in regard
to the distribution of feed, seed, fer
tilizer and nursery stock. The sup
plying of the right kind of materials,
in ample time, for the manufacture
of farm machinery, in sufficient
amount to insure for 1914, of at least
1000 of the amount used in 1910 and
1941, was also urged
The association recommended that
the War Food Administration and
other government agencies promptly
develop and announce sugar beet
production program that would Sc
cure the greatest possible production
of sugar and by-products for 1914,
consistent with the demonstrated pro-
duction ability of the industry, that
the Selective Service give every con-
sideration for exemption of all trained
and experienced farm workers, that
the procedure be modified for the fur
Laughing of soldiers from Army camps
for more than three days at a time
during peak work seasons, and that
protein supplements for the feeding
season of 1913 and 1914 be made avail
able and fairly apportioned between
the states on the basis of relative
need and without price discrimination
respecting methods of transportation
in its distribution, Kruse said
Sixteen states were represented at
the meeting.

held in Helena.

Justice Laws justified the light pen
alties with the statement that the
crooks had been advised by their law

That would seem to suggest that
lawyers who give such advice should
be given chance to repent inside
prison walls.
The judge also contended there was
no evidence the war effort had been
hurt by the skullduggery.
In another Washington court the
owners of a half dozen restaurants
located in the heart of the nations
capital were enabled to escape trial
on charges of selling and keeping de-
cayed food with maintaining filthy
premises and with violation of law
requiring the sterilization of utensils
by the simple expedient of FORGETTING
collateral of $25.
His Second Offense
One restaurant owner who sold de-
composed meat and was found with
IT'S pounds of the stuff in his refrig-
orator forfeited 500 which he had
been forced to post because two
weeks earlier he had been arrested
on a similar charge and defaulted on
a $25 deposit-a small enough fee for
a license to kill his customers.

MISSOURI RIVER
development
IS ADVANCED

| Passage of an act to construct q
multiple purpose dams for the storage
and use of the waters of the Missouri
will be urged on congress by a com
mittee consisting of two members
from each of the eight states-Iowa
Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska
North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyo
ming-which participated in the meet
ing held at Miles City on Wednes
day of last week. The meeting was
called by Governor Ford to consider
matters having to do with fuller de-
velopment of the Missouri river and
its tributaries.
Gov M. Q. Sharpe of South Dakota
is chairman of the committee which
will urge action by congress on the
development of the project of multi
pie dams. Montana members of the
committee are d. p. Fabrick of Cho-
teau, and o. S. Warden of Great Falls.
Definite plans on the form of con-
troll of the project are still under
consideration according to reports,
with nothing definitely agreed upon
as to whether the people of the yari-
Gus state wish to have it set up as a
TVA-or some modified from of it, a
cooperative, a corporation or still
some other form. II is imperative
that the general public makes plain
it's desires to the committee which
it is said will act in conformity with
any proposal which will be accepta-
BILE to the people of the interested
states.
The possibilities of development of
the Missouri river basin has been in
yestigated by both the U. S. Reclaim
alton Service and the Army Engi-
neers, both agencies submitting fav-
orable reports which propose the con-
of % multiple purpose dams,
the stored waters to act for flood con-
troll and to be used for navigation,
and power development.
It is said that the proposed dams
will bring an additional 100000 acres
under irrigation in the states now spe-
cially interested in the project At
ention has also been called to the
possibilities of great extension of
Rural Identification with the power
produced by the dams and its easy

met to hear the gospel" of co-opera-
tive medicine. After his address this
organization was effected and a con-
tinuous educational program has re-
suited in a beautiful structure with
every modern facility and modern
equipment.
The hospital, though dedicated on
the 18th of July, had opened for bust
ness about two weeks prior to that
time, and on the day of the dedica
ton there were 20 patients in bed in
the hospital and while the governor

fine ASSESSED
FOR CHILD LABOR
Law VIOLATION

The Helena Building and Realty
| Company, operators of the Power
Block in Helena, pleaded guilty Wed
nesday to a violation of Montana's
child labor laws in Justice A. ]
Whites court. Justice White i'm
posed fine of $500 against the cor
poration for employing Helen June
Tarrant age IS years, on or about
July II, 1943 as a passenger and
freight elevator operator. Miss Tar
rant was killed while operating the
elevator on July 18th.
The complaint was signed by Henry
A. Yeager, inspector in charge for
Montana's division of labor and Coun-
ty Attorney J. Miller Smith repre-
sented the state of Montana in the
action.
Justice White pointed out that child
labor violations will not be tolerated
in his court as well as did County
Attorney Smith insofar as Lewis and
Clark county is concerned. Mr. Yea
ger said that this case should point
out the seriousness of employing chill
dren under age in the Irohibited oc-
equations over the entire state He
said that the penalty upon conviction
for employing children under the age
of 16 years in, on or about any mine,
mill, smelter, workshop, factory, rail
road, passenger or freight elevator,
telegraph, telephone or messenger
company and comparable hazardous
occupations was fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $4,000 or
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not less than 80 days nor more than
six months or both such fine and inn
The same penalty APP
plies against a parent for permitting
such employment in the prohibited
occupations and also the same pen
atty applies against an employer for
failure to have an age certificate as
issued from the Division of Labor at
the State Capitol building, Helena,
showing each minor en-
ployed in the prohibited occupations
to be at least 16 years of age. This
age certificate program is
primarily for the employers protec-
ton so that he will not unwittingly
employ a minor under age for the
particular job to be done and they
also act as work permits.

SERVICE men
TAKE EXTENSION
COURSES In u

Service men at home and abroad
from all walks of life, are enrolled
at the university But their routine
differs from that of the normal stu
dents in that these service men at.
| tend no classes and hear no lectures.
Their study is conducted solely by
mail-through the university's extern
sion division.
The extension division works in CO.
operation with the United States
Armed Forces Institute. The insti-
tute, with headquarters at Madison,
Wis, has selected specific extension
courses from college and university
correspondence bulletins throughout
the country and has made them avail
able to service men.
Fourteen enlisted men, at present,
are enrolled in extension work at the
university. Under the educational
plan, the Armed Forces Institute pays
one-half of the correspondence fee
and the soldier student pays the other
half. This service is available only
to the enlisted personnel and does
not include officers. At the univer-
sity the fee covers the correspond
ence fee, textbook fee, and library
fee. Mary Margaret Courtney, head
of the extension office, makes quar-
terly reports on the progress of the
students to the commandant of the
Institute at Madison.
First to register at the university
under the program was soldier with
a New Orleans APO address who en-
rolled last October. From San Fran
cisco and New York APO addresses
