threatened railway and steel strikes had
or would prolong the wal in Germany is
so far fetched and so ridiculous and as
plain an attempt to throw discredit on
the unions that even people high in the
circles of the big corporations read it with
disdain.
Organized labor and all Of the working
people whether organized or not have a
glorious record in this war, but that can
not be said for the corporations OF the
United States. The corporations have pur-
posely, wilfully and trait0rOusly with
held production, have purpOsely perpe-
trated sitdown strikes, and have demand
ed their profits or refused to produce
goods. The record Of the corporations OF
America will go down as one OF the most
shameful incidents in the history OF this
nation. Incident after incident could be
cited of faulty material; Of delayed work;
of excessive employment OF workers to
pad the profits.
Perhaps the government itself should
be blamed for this condition, but to try
to insinuate that the workers are not do
ing the right thing is unjust and unWar-
ranted. Some times the working people
wonder why the government does not in
vestigate some of the abuses which are so
prevalent in this war.
And to change the subject a little bit,
the report that the Army department had
returned money to the United States
Treasury, which it could not use, stirred
the nation to it's depths. When it is con
sidered that any department of the feder-
al government or Of a state government
always asks for two or three times more
than it expects this return Of money by
the Army to the United States Treasury
takes on an appalling aspect. 1t can we'll
be imagined that before the Army re-
turned this money it had used every de-
vice to spend it, and the action itself IS
almost conclusive proof that the Army
had been given such a huge sum of money
that it couldn't be spent and finally got III
the hair of Army officials and to ease
their own conscience gave it back to the
government.

payment for the premium on a new

sion or the return Of the money. Be
cause of not having licenses to sell she
claims her business suffered substantial
damages. When suit was brought
against her for s212.6O for licenses sold
in 1941 she filed a cross complaint for
5000 and the attorney general for the
commission demurred to the answer on
the ground of the lack Of jurisdiction
Of the court, the right Of an individual
to sue the state being involved in the
issue. Judge Lynch upheld the demurrer

LET CORPORATIONS
CLEAN OWN SHIRTS

An Associated Press article purporting
to be quoting General George C. Marshall
appeared in the local daily newspaper
Saturday morning, Jan. 1, 1913. The title
of the article was: Railway and Steel
Strikes Are Declared to Have Delayed
Allied Hope of Axis Collapse" 1t tried
to give the impression that the threatened
railway and steel strikes would prolong
the war and that it would or had already
deferred revolt in Germany.
Fortunately not many people will pay
any attention to this piece Of propaganda
because that is all that it was. And the
object of the article to discredit the
unions and the working people was so
obvious that it was silly. The press never
oyerlooks an opportunity to condemn
organized labor.
People are generally beginning to feel
that not only the newspapers but the
radios throughout the country are giving
out oceans of propaganda most of which
is either wholly false or highly eXagger-
ated, and news that the people should re
ceive is being withheld. To infer that the

RED CROSS AIDES
KILLED IN new
GUINEA PLANE CRASH

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Paying tribute
to their courage and devotion to duty,
General Douglas Macarthur cabled the
American Red Cross here that two Red
Cross correspondents we're killed in an
airplane accident on November 26 at
Port Moresby, New Guinea. The cable
followed closely after notification of the
deaths by the Wal department.
The men were Robert E. Lewis, %, a
charter member of the Philadelphia
Camden Newspaper Guild, who was di-
rector of Red Cross public information
in the Southwest Pacific, and Harry H.
Poague. 46, of Minneapolis, a photog-
rapher on the Red Cross staff. The
cable from General Macarthur was as
follows:
1T is my painful duty to inform you
of the death in New Guinea of Harry H.
Poague and Robert E. Lewis in an air
plane accident. Both served with cour-
age and devotion and fulfilled the inn
oortant duties of wal correspondents
with value to their country. Please in
form their families and convey to them
my sincere sympathy"
Lewis joined the Red Cross shortly
after Pearl Harbor, coming to Washing
ton from Philadelphia, where he had
been connected with the Philadelphia
Inquirer for five years. Anxious to serve
the Red Cross in a foreign theater, he
was assigned first to the Middle East in
December, 1912. Recently he was trans
ferred to Australia.

Butte Woman Seeks $4,000
Damages From Commission
HELENA, Dec. l5.-CSpeciaD-Righ
of a Butte woman to seek 5000 damages
from the game and fish commission in
court is involved in a notification re-
ceived by the attorney general of a pro-
posed bill of exceptions on which an
appeal can be taken from the ruling Of
District Judge j. J. Lynch in Silver Bow
county to the state supreme court.
The defendant in the suit, Mrs. Lucille
Meinecke, operated a fisherman's equip
ment store in Butte. She sold fish and
game licenses for the state in the sum-
mer of 1941. For licenses sold from
June % to July 25 of that year the COM
mission claims she owe it $212.60. This
sum the defendant does not dispute.
According to the records in the case she
sent the commission a check for $212.6O.
The cashier of the commission, appar-
entity without authority, altered the
check to reduce the amount to s21O.70,
believing Mrs Meinecke had overpaid.
Mrs. Meinecke had payment of the
check refused, according to her, because
it had been altered. Difference of opin-
ion developed then between the defend
ant and the commission. Sh claims that
she offered to send another check for
the correct amount Of $212.60 if the
commission would return the check to
her on which payment was refused. The
commission demanded payment however
and afterwards brought a civil suit in
the district court at Butte to obtain
the $212.60 involved.
In 1912 Mrs. Meinecke contends that
the commission refused or failed to allow
her to sell more licenses because the

The mass assassinations were In
clear violation of the Geneva con-
vention of 1929 and the agreements
on the treatment of prisoners of
war. Germany was signatory to
the convention end never repudiat-
ed it. The pact provides in gen.
eral that:
''Prisoners of war must at all
times be hunanely treated and
protected, particularly against acts
of violence, insult and public Curl
osity. Measures Of reprisal against
them are prohibited.
Excepted from such protection
are prisoners who commit crimes
while in custody. In such cases
the offender is punishable in &C.

The American victims at NAL

the generals were overseas any

Yesterday, the War Department
called up and said he had reached
his destination, Jack went on.
But he never told us what his
destination was. so that didn't do
us much good"
The Taylors learned, late last
night, when reporters called to tell
how General Taylor had reached
his men after wild jeep ride
through enemy territory.
Today Mrs. Taylor went to pick
up her husbands pictures. T o N

General Taylor was graduated

nearly every major Army post
in the country and from 1885 to

1t is almost three days now
since there was an announcement
that the Germans had advanced
in Adolf Hitlers ambitious scheme
to crack the line and roll up the
Allied front from behind.
Supreme headquarters disclosed
that three divisions figured prom
lnently in stemming the German
rush the First Infantry which
landed on D-Day and broke the
Siegfried Line at Aachen; the Sew
enth Armored which saved the
Antwerp offensive by beating off
German counterblows and the 82nd
Alrborne, which landed in Cher
bourg and in the Holland invasion.
On the northern flank, the Ger
mans sent two battalions against
the American lines in the ''hot cor
ner' near Monschau under cover
of heavy artillery barrage but
they were thrown back without
gaining ground, a front dispatch
said.
To the west, 100 Germans slipped
past American lines in the neigh
borhood of the small but important
crossroads hamlet of Frandmenil,
but were surrounded and at last
reports were being wiped out.

For the second day in a row,
