DEATH OF O'BYRNE
LOSS TO PEOPLE

The death of Ed OByrne former
Montana State Labor Commissioner, who
died at Renton, Wash, came as a shock
to the unions, particularly of Silver Bow
county When the legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 to revive the
office of labor commissioner Mr. O'Byrne
was appointed to the position and dur
ing his term in that office his con-
scentiousness and willingness eradicted
many of the inequities that had crept
into the relationships between employers
and employees throughout the state. Mr..
O'Byrne was polite but firm in his
dealings with the employers and his de
termination to enforce the labor laws of
the state and in this he gained the re-
spect Of both the employers and the
employees. He really made a name out
of the labor division of the Department
of Agriculture, Labor and Industry Also
his sincerity of purpose and liberal
ideas together with an understanding of
conditions facing the people won him
the respect Of all types Of people. His
passing is a real loss

I SHALL NEVER
FORGET

From somewhere in Italy, Major Ellis
H. Gray, in a letter to his wife tn
Jamaica, L. L, describes the condition of
Yugoslav refugees he happened to see
as they rested on their way to special
camps With the permission of Mrs.
Gray, excerpts from the majors letter
are here published:
II shall never forget sight saw
this morning -Yugoslav refugees It
seems that they had walked about fifteen
days. The crowd was made up mostly
OF women and children. They were
dressed in clothes that no one at home
would even handle. The women had
burlap bags on for dresses or skirts and
an old rage around the shoulders. The
children, any age from few months to
several years old, were pitiful; hardly
any clothes at all. They looked starved.
Il had just come from the Post Ex-
change with my weeks rations Of candy
and gum and felt so sorry for the kids
that passed the whole thing out. One
Of the major with me passed out his
cigarettes to some of the men. You
should have seen the children go for
the candyl A small piece of sugar coated
gum drop was taken by boy about
three years old-and he started to eat
the sugar off-one small piece at time
I watched him and it took him about As
minutes to eat that small piece Of candy
that we would put in our mouths in one
bite. 1t was a sight that one will never
forget.
After they were taken off the boats
and loaded on to trucks, the children
broke out singing After all they went
through, and what little they had-no
food-no clothing-and then to hear
them sing It was a very weak song,
but all fthem chimed in. I only wish
could understand their language so
that could have talked to some of
them, but I had to be satisfied with just
looking Some of them had cloth
wrapped around their feet. one coat on
one of the boys had at least fifty patches
on it--you could not tell what color it
was when it started out"
The refugees whom Major Gray de
Iscribes were probably among those later
sent to refugee camps in Egypt, where
the United Yugolav Relief Fund and
other agencies are attempting to meet
their needs.

WANDERING JEW,'
TRAMP PRINTER.
AGAIN in BUTTE

Nathan Bergman, go, known as the
famous Jewish tramp printer, known to
the typographical trade as "the Wander
ing Jew of the Printers" and one OF the
last of the boomers, has been in Butte
for the last seven weeks working at the
trade" Nate didn't say whether he
came here first-class although he gen
orally rides freight trains and hitch
hiking.
He is still manipulation of the
silent messenger of thought" and carries
his union printers card with a continuous
membership of S5 years. He entered the
printing business at the age Of 18 years
as a printer and has remained in it
since, having visited practically every
state in the Union. During the past
two years he has bought a defense BOND
in every state he has visited.
There is lots of work and big demand
for printers these days, but Nate says if
YOU are not looking for work to keep
your nose out of a printshop. He has
visited more towns than the famous old
"A No. l" who had his name on thou
sands of water tanks, or even Jeff Davis,
the so-called king of the hoDoes' OF

Q War Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes told newsmen at the White
House he had received a report from the
Army on the critical materials that
Ideut. Gen. Brethon Somerven listed
August 1 as badly behind needs Of the
military forces.
The report said that in one month the
workers of America gave enough extra
'umph" to the nations assembly and
production lines to show increases in
August over July ranging from 6 to 1870
in materials ranging from artillery am
munition to tanks and radar.
Byrne declared, however, that despite
the good record of production, the need
has not been met and the supplies re-
main short and behind the estimate of
the Army Service Forces.
IN the artillery ammunition field the
increase of August over July was SO,
with July and August production about
equal to half the output of the first
six months of 1874
Aircraft bomb output was 10 higher,
heavy artillery was 11&o more, but the
forecast was for 15%.
Airborne radar equipment touched a
high Of nearly 1870 more than July, with
July-August output nearly 6Oqo Of the
first half of 1914. But this is only 23q6
of the required production for the last
half Of the year.
In heavy trucks, 26.O47 vehicles in
August represented a boost of 1870 over
July Tank production was 171hqo more
in August than July, construction equip
ment gained 1870, crawler type tractors
almost ITO.
Monthly data on cotton dues are not
available, but the AsF estimated its
supply will fall about 27 million linear
yards short of ALLEGATION in the third
quarter of 1914.
Montana labor news., 1944-09-14

It is not the purpose Of this piece to
deny that there are many Chinese who
honestly want real labor movement in
the traditional sense. But these people
are handicapped by racketeers and
higher-ups who appear to be lining their
pockets and letting the poor devil of the
rank and file shift for himself.
That is bad enough but reports have
reached important labor circles here that
far too much of the relief sent China
by American unionists has found its way
promptly into the supply depots Of the
japanese army at an exceedingly
handsome profit for the treasonous
leaders.
To get at the bottom of this situation,
the CIO has taken the first step and
directed a thorough investigation on the
spot. At this writing President Milton
Murray of the American Newspaper
Guild (OIO) has been designated to
journey to Chungking to do the job
Murray, an eager anti-communist, has
taken leave of his job on a Detroit news
paper to make the trip. He will report
his findings back to the CIO executive
board.
AS an insight into the Chinese unions,
Agnes Smedley's Battle Hymn of China
relates her conversation with a Kuomin-
tang representative named Ming Yao
whom she asked about peoples organi-
cations. He listed, amazingly enough,
the Chamber of Commerce, the rice,
wheat and cotton merchants guilds, the
BARRIERS union with 12O members and a
carpenters and Masons' union with 400
He also spoke Of primary school and
some peasant associations.
When Miss smedley asked to speak to
representatives of the unions, Ming Yao
replied that he was their representa-
tives and L could speak to him. When
asked in what villages the peasant asso-
Citations were located, he grew vague and
said they were not fully organized"
Afurrays report if he is allowed to
really dig for the facts, may reveal some
very bad apples

BILLINGS DEMANDS
FAIR PLAY
is BILLINGS A FREE CITY2

is BILLINGS A FREE CITY,
This is pertinent question. Others
might be asked: Is every one to be
granted equal rights and the same fair
treatment? Is there any sanctity in a
contract or in gentleman's word in
Billings? Or is it to be the rule in
Billings that a certain clique can over
ride these sacred American rights?
These questions are prompted by the
fact. as we. are informed, the Erickson
for overnor Club engaged the Northern
hotel corner room for its headquarters,
but some PUSSY Footing Politicians" as
one Republican has characterized them,
put on the pressure and caused the Gus
todian of this room to violate his plighted
word and turn this room over to them
for use as Republican headquarters.
Honesty in dealing and sanctity OF
contract should know no political
bounds, and any violation Of these prin-
ciples should be resented by every fair
minded citizen regardless of political be-
liefs. Acts of this kind reflect no credit
upon the perpetrators nor upon our Guy
and will and should do Judge Erickson
more good than harm.
our mining metropolis used to be a
happy and prosperous city when there
was competition in the mining industry,
but it became a one company town and
has gone with eclipse. The same fate
will come to Billings if one clique is
permitted to run our city. With every
one given the same fair treatment, Bill
lings will become the metropolis of the
state. This is the goal to which every
good citizen should strive.-The Yellow
stone, Billings.

RE00'2EMENTS FOR Army IMMENSE
THE WASHINGTON SCENE

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Suspicious
wisps of smoke arising in the Far East
are due for an investigation by American
labor to find out ust what is happening
to aid sent to the Chinese labor move
ment.
Although not too much can be revealed
here September 5, a little background is
in order before launching the main
point.
The CIO war Relief Committee and
its opposite number in the AFL, Labors
League for Human Rights, have been
donating funds raised from American
workers to the Chinese trade unions
through the central body in Chungking.
This central body is the Chinese Asso-
citation of Labor which is an arm Of
the Kuomintang, the official and only
legal political party in China
Kuomintang officials are given to talk
expertly about Chinese trade unions but
no American has ever visited these unions
much less ever talked freely to their
members More than a little suspicion
exists that these unions are paper or
ganizations and Chinese liberals in this
country have alleged as much to their
friends
The Kuomintang itself is a reaction
ary and highly bureaucratic organiza-
ton. It's total membership in a China
teeming with 45O million souls, is esti-
mated at only $4,000. 1t is composed
chiefly of government officials and sub
ordnates whose work is concentrated on
keeping themselves in office and fighting
the Chinese communists.
While the Chinese communist armies
are spearheading the active fighting
against the Japs and leading the partisan
movement behind the lines, the Kuo-
mintang has Officially prevented Ameri-
can lend lease from going to the RED
Army Of China"
Coincident with this. more than one
story has appeared here about U. S. diff
ficulues with lend lease materials for
China winding up in the hands of specu-
lators and finally into the clutches of
the Japs.

HILLMAN ATTACKS
DEWEY WITH
HIS own RECORD

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.-FP)--
A blistering attack on Thomas E. Dewey's
position on national and international
affairs and his record as governor of
New York was the answer of Chairman
Sidney Hillman of the CIO Political
Action Committee Sept. 9 to the COP
presidential candidates campaign cry
that the U. S. is heading for doles and
depression if it keeps Roosevelt in the
White House.
Speaking before the New York State
CIO Council convention here which the
day before had jeered, booed and laughed
at a message from Dewey warning labor
to stay out of politics, Hillman charged
that Dewey was the mouthpiece of the
big business interests in his own state
and won his presidential nomination
from convention dominated by Herbert
Hoover and the Republican Old Guard.
There is no record that Thomas
Dewey ever expressed himself concern
ing the depression through which this
country went from 1929 to 1888, the
exciting days of the first New Deal, nor
the ominous rise Of fascism in Europe.
His interest in the affairs of the nation
and of the world seem to have awakened
simultaneously with his ambition to be-
come President Hillman said.
Dewey never makes it clear just what
he offers to prevent a depression, Hill
man pointed out. An analysis of his
public utterances shows that he has not
offered single original suggestion or
solution for any of the major domestic
problems
On foreign affairs, Hillman declared,
Dewey has tried to make it appear as
if there We're no difference between his
foreign policy and that Of the admins
tration, while at the same time retain
ing the enthusiastic support Of such eX-
treme isolationists as William Randolph
Hearst, Randolph Mccormick, and the
nreconcilable Old Guard Could he re-
tain the isolationist support if he were
really in sympathy with q policy of in
ternational cooperation?"
AS governor of New York, Hillman
asserted, Dewey used dictatorial measures
with the legislature, "milked7 the cities
of their revenue, forcing them to main
tain sales taxes, refued to pay adequate
wages to state employees and teachers,
fronted for the big farm bloc against
small farmers and farm workers, and
buried any adequate social legislation,
labor legislation and anti discrimination
bills.
He tried to get bill passed banning
union members from politics and he sue
ceeded in preventing most Of the states
servicemen from voting, Hillman said.
In Dewey's message to the state CIO
convention, he warned labor that it
should confine its interests to collective
bargaining and avoid political action and
refuse to follow labor leaders who advo-
cate a labor front" for political action.
Dewey fears the peoples vote because
he knows that only if the people fail
to vote can he realize his ambition to
occupy the White House" Hillman de-
clared. Dewey has clearly shown us
what we have to do. We have to get
out the vote"
