POWER HEARING
GETS WRITEUP in
HARPERS MONTHLY
Contributed Article

Harper's magazine for September has
made the Montana Twinsa-Montana
Power and A. c. M-very sick. A lot Of
facts have been set on fire under the
corporate shirt-tails. Everything that
the Standard and Post, the Billings Ca
zette. the Muscular Sentinel, and the
Helena twin dailies have carefully sup
pressed from the public. has been ruth
lesssly spilled on a nationwide scale.
The elaborate window-dressing of the
recent Federal Power Commission hear
ing, and %concealment Of the evidence
from the public eye; the moves of the
power company in the courts of recent
months; the bad luck they haG in the
Circuit Court o Appeals in their efforts
to take the whole Missouri river, and
their present fears that they may be
called to account for their obstruction of
~navigable streams-it's all there.
The newspaper situation is not over
looked, The Montana Labor News eff
forts to report the power hearing with
truth did not escape the eye of the
Harper's writer, in marked contrast with
some left-handed compliments to the
Montana Standard for conspicuous
fables.

HIGH PRIESTS OF
THE GOLDEN CALF
in This CAMPAIGN

AS for this Moses, who has brought
us up out of the land of Egypt, We know
not what has become of him. AndAaror
said: Break off all the golden earrings
- And he made them into a molten
calf and said: This be the God, o
Isroel, which brought thee out OF the
land of Egypt And they sang for joy
The Jews were still in theWilderness
far from the Promised Land, still in dire
need Of the strict RECOMMENDATION OF
Moses. Some sorrowed at the loss of
their young men in battle, more were
wearied of military discipline to carry
through successfully the first recorded
boycott. Though Moses seems to have
been absent on Sinai, at most only a
week, getting the Ten Commandments
ca fairly rigid set of rules, yet Aaron
got a large, noisy following. He might
have carried the election, but for some
of the older men with keen memories of
~floggings Of Egyptian taskmasters be
fore Moses started a New Deal"
If Aaron had not joined Moses New
Deal he would have spent his treach-
erous life as an unknown slave in a
b%rickyard. Here in Montana are a Gov
-ernor, a congressman, a senator, and the
others in high place, who gained power
Gf not prestige) by counting the Mon
tana Council for Progressive Political
Action, and who now hope to retain
office through Seeming the steps by
which they did ascend" They Join the
hue and cry of the company press
against the C. I. o. for political action.
This somewhat nonpartisan organized
group is merely an offspring of the
Council" Il is the action part of
the name. AS long as the council"
now in existence about 20 years, did
nothing but talk (and often tediously),
nobody cared. When they chose weak,
colorless candidates that the Company
satraps and lobbyists deemed easily pur-
ehasable with actual money, or social
favors, or fawning press notices, it was
quite a respectable" body of Utopians.
NOW they have gained great ground. It
is a broad, based group. In it may be
found such rounded statesmen as ex-
Senator Norris, whose dying message
was: There can be no greater calam-
ity than the election of Dewey to the
presidency CHe was not picking out
Montana, and had never heard of Gov
ernor Ford.)
In the @. j.. o. for Political Action
seem to be the thoughtful leaders of the
A. F. of L., the Farmers Union, the
growing, great co-operatives, the In
ternational Union of Mine, Mill and
Smeltermen, the American Railroad
Brotherhood. In truth, the one man
best symbolizing the purposes Of this
vast group of ardent patriots has been
three times elected President Of the
States. Lately the bishops of
the Catholic church endorsed similar

DON'T Be FOOLED

Recently there has been quite a hue
and cry about the alarm Of the farmers
and the agricultural interests, in the al
legged attempt of the Montana Council
for Progressive Political Action to Or
ganize farm labor. This is sheer pro-
paganda designed to to defect the vote
from the progressive candidates to the
bosom of the A. c. M. and its political
organization. This is a very clever plan
to influence the unthinking farmer
when he learns he is just be-
ing taken in by the shrewd political
manipulators Of the big corporations and
by the agricultural interests. For in
stance some big shot at a farmers meet
ing lamented that he would not stay in
the sheep business if someone organized
the sheepherders and put on three,
eight hour shifts. This is so silly as TO
be disgusting, but, why speak Of Dem
ocracy and the American way Of life

Numbers Racket Net
$1,000 Day Profit Off
of Worker Suckers

DETROTT-FP)-omall change con-
tributed to solicitors for the numbers
racket in Detroit produced a net income
to the top operators Of over $1,000 a day,
according to data from official state rec
ords admitted in evidence in a gambling
case against them. The records were
those of the state unemployment com
pensation commission and were sup
posed to be confidential, but the prose-
cutor convinced the judge that conf
Dental protection extends only to law
full enterprises. The gambling operators
had themelves reported to the commits
sion that they ran a lottery-illegal in
Michigan.
In the firss year in office of Mayor
Jeffries the racket took in $4,000, 900
and in the second year $8,OOO,OOO gross,
so far as figures indicate. His predeces-
sor Mayor Reading is now in prison for
splitting rakeoffs with gamblers. JEFF
fries is not under attack in the gambling
prosecution.

PEOPLES VOICE ASKS
FOR ASSISTANCE

An Independent newspaper, is OBJ
viously effective to the degree that il
has widespread distribution and sup
port. This letter is addressed to your
organization, calling on you for this
support.
The Peoples Voice is nearing the end
of its fifth year of publication. During
this time, it has consistently and in
yariably. supported the cause of or
6anization of the working people Of
the state. 1t has exposed the efforts of
the special interests of the state to
dominate its political life and exploit
its resources and its plain people.
It has been maintained during this
period, largely through unselfish con-
tributions of a small group of people in
the state. We believe it has accom-
some real and lasting good in
its dissemination Of information not
available in other publications in the
state.
This is a momentous year in the
and the nation. We believe that
the welfare of our state and nation is
more dependent upon an informed vot-
ing public this year than at any time
n the past, within our memory at
east. We believe, that this year par
.icularly, the voting public needs the
Information that will be assembled and
presented by The Peoples Voice.
1t is on the basis of this CONVECTION
hat we ask your organization to CO.
,perate in getting this information to
our membership. We ask you to solicit
bundle subscriptions. We must reach
more readers if the purposes Of The
1oice are to be accomplished.
our subscription price is $500 per
ear for individual subscriptions. In
to reach a greater number Of
eaders, the Board Of Directors have
liked the following prices for club and
.undle subscriptions:
For subscriptions in clubs of Is
1.5O per year each. These would be
Individually mailed.
Bundle subscriptions minimum
undle of 10-$1.2 rs per year, per copy.
We hope that your organization will
i've this your earnest consideration,
nd that we may hear from you soon.

and free enterprise and then deny farm
labor permission to organize. The agri-
cultural interests have the most power
full unions in the United States, such as
the Wool Growers Association, the Stock
mans Association, the Farmers Grange
and Others. This whole, political bonn
bast is nothing more than the usual
subtle chicanery practiced by the A. C..
M. through years Of experience when they
want to elect their stooges to office and
defeat candidates who are really trying
to do something for the common people.
Recently there was quite an article in
one Of the papers proclaiming about the
future of Butte. Nearly every
body in Butte believes that Butte would
be a growing town if the A. c. M. Com
pany would eliminate its determined OPP
position to the coming of new enter
prises in Silver Bow County.

Protest Legions'
immigration Ban

NEW YORK (FP) The American Com
mittee for Protection of Foreign Born
sharply protested the American Legion
conventions demand that all immigra-
ton after the war be stopped until I'M
employment drops to less than 100000
and all veterans have been offered job
opportunities.
"Such demagogy and confusion has all
ways been typical of the American Leg
ion on American immigration policies, b
the committee said. THE economic and
social history Of the U. S. utterly dis
proves the contention that immigration
creates unemployment, which is implied
in this resolution. If immigration will
have any effect on employment in the
future, it will be to decrease unemploy-
ment and help make for a prosperous
nation

other employers the National war Labor

Industry members filed a dissent, say
ing there was mo Justification for the
order" The WLB said Ward rates were
well below the average for Detroit
where 7O% Of the workers involved are
employed. The board explained it only
ordered correction of ~substandard wages.
