BIS Index Figures Say U. S.
Food Costs UP 47Gn

WASHINGTON (FP) Although the
U. S. Department Of Labor's cost of liv-
ing index released by the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics is generally d~iscredited
in the eyes of workers and economists
as a measure of the cost of living, it
continues to issue reports, the most re
cent September %.
In the new report covering The month
ending in mid-August, the BIS figures
say that food costs for the avere ge
American family are 1870 higher ran
they were on Aug. Is, 1899.
BIS also insists that prices Of goods
important in the purchases Of moderate
income families have increased $3.50 dur
ing the 5 years of the war in Europe.
This, of course, is not a BIS claim that
it represents the increase in the cost
of living. It claims only to be prices Of
some goods families buy, and it makes
no reference to quality.

The fairness and impartiality. to all

WHOLE CLASS FAILS
in BAR EXAMINATION

Considerable disappointment and some
resentment was expressed recently over
the action Of the Board of Bar Exami-
ners when it failed to pass any Of the
applicants seeking admission to practice
law in the state of Montana during the
recent examination.
Examinations to practice law in the
state of Montana are held at least once
yearly and at any other special time
designated by the Supreme Court. 1t is
seldom that at least one or more Of
those taking the examination fail to
pass, so that this instance stands out
quite prominently. The Supreme Court
of Montana usually holds the examina-
tons, but an examining board, appointed
by the court, may determine the grade
of the papers. In this case the mem
bers Of the board, so it is stated by n
of the applicants, were George Y. Patton,
Ralph j.. Anderson, H. Leonard DeKalb,
R. G. Wiggenhorn and Walter L. Pope.
After the examination and the report
and adoption Of the anne by the court,
some of the applicants made inquiry as
to the whereabouts Of the examination
papers that the applicants had labori-
ously written out. They were nowhere
to be found, although they are public
records of the court.
When the news was revealed about
Helena Of the episode, considerable in
dignation was expressed by the citizens
and taxpayers.

WORKERS NEEDED
BY WAR INDUSTRIES

War; Ferrin, John Lawson and John
Hanley, representing the War Man Power
Commission, appeared before the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council october
3rd. MI. Ferrin spoke on the urgency
Of getting labor on critical war Jobs. He
stated that an average of ten to twenty
thousand workers per month were leav-
ing these critical areas to return to their
local communities with the idea Of get
ting established in postwar jobs. The
necessity Of holding these men on war
Jobs and to re-employ those who are
leaving is the number one job Of the
War Man Power Commission at this time.
Mr.. Lawson complimented the mem
bers Of organized labor fer their splendid
effort in their output of materials neces-
sary to the armed services. He stated
emphatically that labor has done a very
fine job. He also discounted complaints
heard throughout the country of strikes
and Walk-outs. He said that workers
who participated in strikes and walk
outs represented only one tenth of one
per cent OF the workers engaged in war
work throughout the country. He called
upon labor to continue the very fine
job they were doing and he did not en-
courage anybody to ring the bells of vic
tory until the war had actually been
terminated.
Mr.. Hanley requested the members of
organized labor who were present to CO.
operate with his office, the local office
of the United States Employment Serv-
ice, in directing any unemployed worker
or any worker engaged in less essential
industry to the employment service
where they could be sent to war urgency
Jobs. ANY worker now engaged in essen
tial industries would not be considered.
The services of these workers is purely
on a voluntary basis. Butte's quota for
this critical program is 80 men during
the month Of September and October.
The quotas assigned have been for the
following companies: Pasco, Wash
Boeing Aircraft at Seattle, Kaiser ship
yards at Portland, Alaskan defense and
Moore drydocks in oakland, Calf.

COP AIMS TO SPLIT
LABOR AT THE POLLS
AFL PAPERS WARN

OAKLAND, Calif.-FP)-Don't fall
for the plot to divide labor at the polls,
an editorial in the California Labor Re
view and 10 other west coast AFL papers
warned.
The Republican and Hearst press have
deliberately set out on a campaign to
create the impression that the CLIO is
for Roosevelt ana the AFL is against
him, the editorial said. They are do
ing their level best to split labor support
for the President. Hence the avalanche
Of cartoons, display editorials and dis
tortiors to 'reyeaI d &c conspiracy
then to link it with Communism
This is purely a plot to take advan-
tage Of the division in the house of labor
to get more votes for Hoover's Dewey
and to sink Roosevelt.
We in the American Federation Of
Labor resent this dirty business, and any
AFL man who falls for it is a sucker. If
there is anything that the great rank
and file of both the AF Land CLIO are
agreed upon it is that they want Roose-
welt for a fourth term"
Citing the numerous AFL international,
state and local bodies which have in
Roosevelt, the editorial continued:
TO follow the smear campaign in the
subsidized newspapers, the unwary read
er would get the impression that only
the CLIO is getting out the vote, register
ing people, getting ballot applications to
the soldiers, etc.
THE fact is that the AFL unions in
California are doing a bang-up job on
this. Practically every AFL union in
the state is doing splendid work in get
ting its membership registered and in
backing up the campaign for Roosevelt
and progressive congressman.
There is only one way that the re-
%actionaries can beat the President-snd
that is to SOW political dissension in the
ranks Of labor. Union membership in
the AL, the CLIO, the railroad brother
hoods and the legitimate Independent
is now approaching the Is mil
lion mark. If the bulk of these people
stand together at the polls-behind
Roosevelt, behind progressive, pro-labor
candidates for congress-they are an
unbeatable combination"

Muscular of Missoula" and quoted an
editorial written by the editor of the
Helena Independent which contained the
following statement: Hearings are
underway in Washington to irrigate more
Montana land. We have had quite a
bit of experience with irrigation projects
in Montana. We can use some water on
areas of high grade land but
we have already tried to flood too much
Il do not agree with that"
Geferring TO the editoriaD said Erickson,
'and it is because 1 have condemned
the appropriation Of the Water
Conservation Board in half by the pres
ent governor, and it is because will
work to really put some water on the
land that they are so determined to elect

Erickson reiterated his slogan in these
words: "a slogan I have adopted is that

every Montana citizen. BY that slogan

he is, that every group, or business, no
matter what it is, will have equal, fair
consideration by me as governor. The

ems, and 1 will give equal consideration

Erickson pointed to his record as
associate justice Of the Supreme Court

being prepared. Each card lists all state
n national candidates endorsed. The
price for cards is $l.O0 per hundred.

three ways in which such cards are used
very effectively: Just as they are; with
individual candidates advertising on one
side, or with all endorsed county can

Accused Seditionists Pile
UP Court Costs

WASHINGTON FP) -Fiibustering
defense attorneys in the mass seditionist
trial who rabidly accuse the present adj
ministration of spending too much
money, have themselves cost the U. s..
more than $4,000 during the last six
months through their obstructionist tao
tics.
A Department of Justice audit lists
trial expanses at more than SOS 5000 to
date, September q. Originally sched-
uled TO close months ago, attorneys for
the 26 native fascists and German
American bundists have tripled the
trials length. 1T is a fair estimate to
charge off at least $4,000 of the nti-
CATION cost to the interminable itnerrup-
lions Of defendants and their attorneys.

JAPANESE ARE
STILL STRONG

WASHINGTON - Military authorities
look upon one and a half to two years
after the defeat Of Germany as the alb
solute minimum Of time the wal with
Japan will last, the Owl stated in a re-
port on the status of the Pacific war.
overall military plans, including those
concerned with war production, are based
on the assumption that it may take
years, rather than months, to defeat
Japan, the owl said.
Balancing the military, productive and
psychological effect of the end of the
German war might favor the Japanese
rather than the allies. For the United
States, defeat Of Germany will mean a
halfway point has been reached in the
global wal and will bring extensive
changes in the war economy, which
might induce a let-down in effort and
morale, Owl pointed out.
Among other factors favoring Japan,
the Owl cited the tremendous problem
of shipping supplies to the Pacific the
atre over such distances that it takes a
ship 30 to As days to reach
Hawaii, 90 to $50 days to reach Austria
liza. While our supply lines become
more extended, Japan is operating on
increasingly shorter lines of supply. The
Allies must secure bases within striking
distance of Japan's home islands-our
new bases in the Marianas are 1900
statute miles from her shores. Japan's
industries are as yet beyond the range
of frequent air attack.
There is no question in the minds
of American authorities that the Allies
will defeat Japan" the owl said in its
