need FOR
INSURANCE
TRESSED

There are certain times of the year
when a person has some seasonal
feelings, especially spring. You hear
any number of people say, II suppose
that I have the spring fever" One
day you will have feeling that you
would like to just lay around and
sleep. In other words, just take
things easy then all at once you feel
that you want to do something diff
ferent, like going fishing. Later on
in the summer when the days are
longer with nearly twice as much sun
shine, making nice warm days, some
of you get the urge to go on a picnic
or to go camping Still farther along
in the year, we approach fall with
some of the tree leaves turning all
colors except green when some of us
start to think of hunting.
A good many people do go out for
at least a few days of some of the
different kinds of sport that Montana
has to offer. Nearly all cases, wheth-
er you go fishing, camping, or hunt

be going in car. Now, may | ask
you a fair question. When you go
on trip whether it be business or
pleasure, do you have the proper in
surance coverage?
You could very easily have an acct
dent that would take an amount of
money equal to good many of these
types of trips. For an example, we
could say that one fishing or camping
trip would cost you $780, Now, say
that you would have an accident that
would cost you $1,000. You would
have to pay all this yourself. 1t would
mean that the cost of the one trip
would be SLIGO instead of $500 which |
would deprive you and your family of
To- such trips because you did not
have the proper insurance coverage.
With the gas and tire rationing al
most demanding that you stay home,
we realize that camping, fishing and
hunting are very nearly out of the
question. We feel sure that most of |
the people will use their ga" tickets
for some enjoyment, and we would

YELLOWSTONE
LIBERAL GROUPS
TO ORGANIZE

BILLINGS-On Friday evening May
5th at $3.50 p. m. the progressive
forces in Yellowstone county will
unite for concerted political action in
the crucial 1914 elections at a mass
meeting to be held in the ALL labor
temple here. The liberals in this sec
ton of the state are alarmed at the
conservative trend of the political sit
uation, and are disguised with the
type of representation it has received,
particularly in the state legislature at
Helena. They feel too that labor
should unite with the farmer and
other progressive people for their own
political welfare.
The meeting is expected to form a
Yellowstone County Council for Pro-
gressive Political Action. All indica-
lions are that the various farm and
labor groups with their ladies' auxil-
iaries will be we'll represented. The
AFL unions will be represented, with
Bob Morehouse of the Carpenters,
Mike Fennel of the Electricians, Har-
vey Lynde of the Transfers, and sew
eral others in attendance. The Oil
Workers Union of Laurel and Billings
will send members and delegates, and
the Farmers Union will have many of
its leading people at the gathering.
The Railroad brotherhoods, with To-
Gals at Billings and Laurel, will par
ticipate too. In addition, it is ex-
pected that the pension groups are
interested in the meeting, and they
have been requested to join the move
ment,

than that they could.
In his talk, Judge Erickson referred
to the many out-of-state men called
in by the present administration to
fill state jobs He expressed it as
his opinion that there were men and
women in Montana competent to fill
every state appointive position. He
said that past democratic administra-
lions hadn't found it necessary to go
outside of the state to find men to
staff the various offices in the state
government. Jack Healy, county as
SCISSOR who spoke after Judge Erick-
son, also stressed this point, particu-
larly in connection with the state
highway department. In conclusion
Judge Erickson urged upon those
present the imperative necessity for
unity in the democratic party. He
pointed out in this connection that no
republican governor had ever been re-
elected in Montana, He said that
with the great majority of the demo-
cratic voters there should be no diff
ficulty in electing this time all demo-
cratic nominees and urged that all
work to that end.
In addition to Judge Erickson, Mr.
McGrath and Mr.. Healy, the president
of the club, M. d. O'Connell, called
upon Mayor Barry O'Leary, Repre-
sentative Walter Ballard, former pres
ident of the Miners Union auxiliary,
Mrs. Jean Patterson, Attorney w. B.
Frame, Enor K. Matson, attorney for
the Montana railroad commission, and
others.

People Support Hearings
The former congressman with his
characteristic vigor and fire, tore into
the so-called expert witnesses the
utility company has placed on the
stand, and the "hatchetmen" of the
power trust, the vociferous but unen-
lightened attorneys for the preferred
stockholders. O'Connell charged they
were actually retained by the COM
pany and not the stockholders. He
declared that the removal of this fake
write-up from the common stock, most
of which is owned by a subsidiary of
Electric Bond and Share, would bene
fit the preferred stock. He asserted
too, that if the people could win, their
electric bills should be cut in half on
the basis of the evidence adduced by
the Federal Power Commission. He
laid bare the attempt now being made
to settle the case by compromise. He
stated that Arthur Lamey, attorney
for the Montana Power Company and
Paul T. Smith, Montana public service
commissioner had left by plane for
Washington probably in an attempt
to bring pressure on the Federal Pow
er Commission through the senators
and congressman from Montana, and
other officials to stop the hearings
going on in Butte, and compromise
the case. The audience showed its
displeasure at this procedure, and I'M
animously voted to send a wire to the
Federal Board and to the Montana
congressional delegation, demanding
that the hearings continue, and no
compromise be made, for a company
that had so obviously lost its case.
Political Action
Taking advantage of the meeting,
O'Connell called attention to the nee
essity of concerted progressive polit-
ical action in the crucial 1914 election.
He urged that all progressives attend
mass meeting to be held this COM
ing Sunday, April 30th, at 2 pm. in
the Butte Miners Union hall, when
the Silver Bow County Council for
Progressive Political Action would be
organized, and permanent officers Sc

80 SEDITIONISTS
ON TRIAL AT LAST

After years of pussyfooting around
and spending his time sowing distrust
and disunity by his persecution of
anti-fascists, Attorney General Francis
Biddle has at last permitted the trial
of. 80 fascist traitors indicted years
ago. to open.
Conducted without flinching, by a
courageous prosecutor, this trial will
undoubtedly uncover roots and rami-
fications of treason in places that will
shock the American people. High
placed enemies of our country will be
uncovered within our midst. 1t is
notorious that many of these defend
ants have all along had, and still have,
relations with members of congress

erations. Where did big money come
from?

opener the country has ever had.

DIVISIONS HURT FEPc

Enemies of the Presidents commit
tee on fair employment practice are
chuckling gleefully over the antics of
some people who claim to be friendly
to the FEPC, but are more busy split
ting support for it than anything else.
Real unity of action and purposes has
to be forged.
First of all, i certain AFL unions
which discriminate against negroes
are bringing tremendous pressure to
bear on the house labor committee,
in opposition to hearings and favor
able report ON the Scanlon-Dawson
bills for a permanent FEPC. They
are joined, of course, by the white
supremacists, and all the foes of ma
tional unity and war victory.
Second there is a whole group which
is campaigning actively for such hear
ings and report, but at the same time
conducting whispering campaign to
prevent the issue coming to the floor
through obtaining 21S congressional
signatures to Discharge Petition is,
sponsored by Congressionman Marcan-
tonic. Since Congressman Marcan-
tonio's measure is by far in the most
advantageous Legislative situation, any
attack upon it is an attack on the best
chance for a permanent FEPC. Con-
gresham Dawson and Scanlon oppose
these maneuvers but are powerless to
stop their self-appointed supporters"
With the $5S5,000 appropriation for
FEPC coming up during May, every
expression of opposition to any por-
ton of the joint campaign worked out
and agreed upon by the congressman
involved, is just so much aid and COM
fort to the white supremacists.
A united, consistent, and insistent
is necessary along three
lines of attack: pressure on the APP
committee and each in
dividual member of congess, on be-
half of the FEPC appropriation; pres
sure on each individual member of
the house to sign Discharge Petition
Is; pressure on the house labor COM
nittee to report the Scanlon-Dawson
bills favorably.

sufficiently, the silent filibuster first
stage of the poll takers battle) may
be closed on Tuesday next.
If it is brought up on April rs, then
the fight against the actual, verbal
filibuster starts, and the speed with
which it is broken will be in direct
relation to the expression which is
given to the anger of the people, to
the open-eyed, realistic awareness
shown by the people of all the pos
sibilities of treachery-as described in
last weeks letter.
Already advance alibis are being
planted through chosen newspaper
columnists and correspondents, by
weakened senators anxious to avoid
the issue. Fear of not being able to
get sufficient votes for cloture" is one
of the favorite excuses for hedging
and delay. But the realistic support
ers of the bill have never expected
that cloture would be voted immedi-
ately There are definite number
of wavering senatorial votes which
can be swung by the reaction of the
peoples anger to the filibuster itself
when it gets under way.
If the senators who have pledged
support to the bill will stand UNI
fIinching, if there Is no treachery,
H.R. will become law before con-
gress recesses again.
Partisan republicans and poll takers
are raising the cry of Estates rights"
against HR. Z. States rights for
whom? States rights for go of the
population that is allowed to vote in
the eight poll tax states! What about
the states rights of the $40 who are
ruled without representation? What
about the rights of the people of the
country who see the poll tax system
and other means of excluding $40 of
the voters in eight states result in a
national ruling bloc representative of
only 3@o of the people of eight states?

NOTES CONCERNING LIFE OF
A PIONEER

Mrs. Catherine Ellsworth, long
time resident of the Ural district,
passed away at the hospital in Eu-
reka on November "A. At that time
it was impossible for this newspa-
per to obtain data for an obituary
of any extent, but during the past
week we have been able to do SO.
Mrs. Ellsworth's maiden name
was Catherine Kennedy. She was
born in Orange county, New York,
on March 4, 1867. Her parents later
moved to Fremont, Ohio, where she
received her education She came
to Montana in 1887, where she took
a position as one of the teachers
in the Indian school at Browning.
She held that position for many
years. An interesting note in this
pioneers life is that she cooked
during the summer at "Pehaska
Tepee," Buffalo Bills hotel at the
entrance to Yellowstone Park, at
Cody, Wyo.
She filed on a homestead near
Ural in 1905 and afterwards made
her home there. She was married to
