POLITICAL ACTION
GROUP TO HELP
REFLECT ROOSEVELT

Formation Of
a new national political action commit
tee composed of labor leaders and a
number of progressive Americans outside
the labor movement to raise campaign
funds through voluntary contributions
was Endorsed June II by the special con-
ference of the CLIO Political Action Com
mittee.
With a goal Of 8 million dollars OBJ
tanned mostly from voluntary contribu-
tons of 81, the new group is expected
to swing into action within 10 days or so
to mobilize the American voters for full
and enlightened participation in the 1914
elections, national, state and local,
Principal goals of the new organiza-
ton will be to unite farmers, workers
and all progressives for political action
and to assure the denomination and cleo
ton Of President Roosevelt.
It is to be equally committed to elect
a Congress that will give full support to
the President and the policies he es-
pouses, and to obtain the election of pro-
gressive candidates to other offices.
The new committee is designed espe-
cially to keep well within the Smith
Connally act and the Hatch act as well
as other statutes governing campaign
contributions.
An intensive, nationwide drive to So
lcit voluntary donations of 81 or more
from every workers, farmer, liberal and
progressive person, will be started in the
very neal future, and the organization
will move into both primary and general
election campaigns wherever it is thought
necessary in order to elect liberal, pro-
Roosevelt candidates to office.
Chairman Sidney Hillman Of PAC,
speaking to the more than $50 delegates
and regional directors, said that Despite
the statements Of a few leaders, we have
the greatest cooperation with the AFL
in the field" Hillman said amid loud
applause. "They (the AFL workers. know
what is at stake.
every labor leader who doesn't do
everything in his power to make a salts
factory outcome on November 7th is be-
traying his labor organization. To plead
they didn't know won't alter the situa-
ton.
IN 1914" Hillman said, I'VE are not
Interested Just in personalities. We
want to know-wiI there be jobs for all
Or breadltnes? We are not going back
to the Hoover era. Not if we tell the
people what is at stake.
I'VE don't propose to be neutral about
the peace to come. We don't want an
other war" there was loud applause at
this point and Hillman continued: again
bring that message to the people. Edu-
cate them. When they get educated they
will vote against certain gentlemen
There was general laughter from that.
Hillman assured the audience that we
will make sufficient changes in the per-
sonnet of Congress so we will have a
Congress sthat will respond to the needs
of the people," In a final word, he told
the PAC group to Go back home, make
sure that on November 2 the victory will
be widesweeping."

LET CONGRESS KNOW

Organized labor is letting Congress
know it is watching its vote on the fol-
lowing:

troll after June 30, remain in House-Sen-
ate conference where Gripping amend
ments are being threshed out. Worst is
the Bankhead move to lift textile prices,
which House has rejected. Labor is get
ting ready to support a Roosevelt veto if
the bad amendments remain in the final
bill.

the Kilgore bill, widely supported by all
labor, aiding workers and veterans in
the shift from war to peace production.

Women Workers Who
Marry Should Inform
Social Security Board

Women workers should notify the So
cial Security Board when they marry, SO
their names can be changed on the
Boards records at Baltimore.
If they do this they will make it easier
for themselves and the Board when the
time comes to file claims for benefits.
For the woman who marries and wants
to change her name, the Board has pro-
vided a special form, which may be OBJ
tanned at the local field office OF the
Board. She should fill it out, attach
the social security card bearing her
maiden name and send the form to the
Board.
The Board does not assign her a new
number, but issues a new card bearing
her present name and the number that
was originally assigned to her. She thus
will have only one social security number
during her entire lifetime. If she had
more than n number, she might stand
to lose ner benefits.
The Board keeps all information 1t
receives from the worker strictly conf
dental.
Forms and information should be OBJ
tanned from the Social Security Board,

At a Well-attended meeting held in
the county courthouse at PhilipSburg last
week, the farmers and workers of Gran
ite county joined together for progress
sive political action in the crucial cam
paign now going on, and formed the 46th
county unit Of the Montana Council for
Progressive Political Action. Some Of
the farmers came as much as 30 miles to
attend the meeting.
Allen Conn, a former county commits
sioner and member of the Granite County
Farmers Union was chosen chairman of
the new group. Henry Dissett, actingi
president of the Philipsburg local of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, was
named vice chairman, and Mrs. B. T.
Jensen was chosen eoretary-treasurer to
give the women representation in the
organizational officers.
The following committees were elected
from the floor: Executive, william King
and James German representing the
miners, and Mrs. Phyllis White and Har-
old Olson for the farmers; legislative,
Mrs. Mildred Ormeschier and Omer
Edgar, former county commissioner, for
the farmers, and Bernard Leroy. secre-
tary of the miners local, and finance,
Ernie White and Beth Hughes of the
Farmers Union, and Otto Davis Of the
miners.
Charles Mclean of Anaconda, Political
Action representative of the Information
al Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter

ed out the vital Importance of the 1914
elections, and the absolute need for Or
g~anization of the farmers and workers.

and carried through the program of Or
ganization Of the county council. Dis
sett was the chairman Of the meeting.
The next meeting will be held at the
Farmers Union hall in Hall tonite
CThursday) at 8 o'clock.
The Importance Of Granite county
cannot be overestimated because it is this
county that sends Rep. Horrigan, chair
man of the appropriations committee Of
the state House of Representatives, to
that body. Horrigan is the man most
responsible for the cruel and inhumane
treatment that was given to the inmates
at Warm Springs by the last legislative
assembly, when Horrigan led the fight
to cut the appropriations for that insti-
tuition to the bone, thus compelling the
inmates to live on 6 cents (6c) a day
each at that place. This meeting was
laying the groundwork for his defeat by
the progressive forces of the county.
