GERMAN PRESS HITS
"TALkATIVENESS"

The German provincial press has
begun to complain again about the
irresponsible talkativeness" of Ger
man war workers.
1.-THE personnel of armament fac
tories and even people occupying re-
sponsible positions frequently do not
feel any inhibitions when discussing
matters concerning war productions, y
one paper said 1.-THE fact that such
talk not only occurs within the family,
but with complete strangers in wait
ing rooms, on trains, and so forth,
sufficiently proves that this almost
epidemic talkativeness originates from
a desire to show off"

his love for the workers, farmers ano
common people of the state. The
vested interests have not yet decided
whether he should run in 1914 again
The people should know now on what
side of the fence he really is.
Montana Power "Packs" Audience
The utility company has succeeded
in packing the courtroom with its Of
ficers, higher paid employees, and or
binary stooges, so that there is little
room for the people and consumers,
who actually pay the bill. There is
also a generous participation in the
hearing by a lot of luxuriously and
finely dressed women, who laugh and
applaud at Kelley's attempts to be
humorous, and the clownish antics of
the "Galloping Ghosts, and then
smoker and sneer at the federal power
attorneys. 1t is hoped that the people
will present an appearance at the
hearing, if there is any available
space.
The Montana Public Service Com
mission thus far has not taken any
important part in the hearing. The
three commissioners have merely been
listening, although their counsel, Enor
K Matson, who is reported to have
supreme court justice ambitions in the
coming election, has ruled in favor of
the Montana Power Company, on the
admission of lot of eXtraneous mat
ter not involving the issue in the hear
ing at all Observers have pointed
out that on ethical grounds, Chairman
Middleton of the Montana board, and
an announced candidate for governor,
should have disqualified himself, in
view of the presence of his son-in-law,
kendrick Smith, as one of the Mon
tana Power Company counsel.
ACM Press Confuses
The Anaconda company press has
printed nearly million words on the
proceedings, but have yet to tell any
of the actual news and facts of the
hearing. They have engaged in idol
atrous praise of their own chairman
of the board OF directors; have steam
ed effusively on the great value of
electricity to Montana, and the great
vision and foresight of John d. Ryan;
and have harped on the honor and
respect" in which the state and COM
munity hold Ryan and Kelley, but
have not yet said one word about the
financial manipulations and the in
flated writeups placed in the cost of
plant of the Montana Power Company,
by which it mulcted millions of dol
lars from the people of Montana,
while its officers live in the lap of
luxury in palatial mansions in New
York, and bask in the sunshine of
Montana summers at Swan lake. In
fact, the ACM press and the Asso-
ciated Press, too, have practically
glorified this plumber of the consum-
ers and stockholders of the corpora
ton.

Commission made an examination Of
this study and the company's books
and found $53,00O,000 of inflated plant
accounts and fictitious writeups, and
another $6,000,000 of very question
able standing. The power commits
sion then ordered the company to in
stall a proper accounting procedure
and method, and the company refused
so the matter was set down for hear
ing; that is the hearing that is going
on here in Butte today.
Purpose of Hearing
1.-THE purpose of the hearing is tt
squeeze this watered common stoch
out of the Montana Power Company
because it is detrimental to the util
ity and it's financial stability. If this
inflated and fictitious writeup is re-
moved from the company's account
ing, it will make the utility much
sounder; it will attract capital more
readily, put the company in better
position to render service to the peo-
pie, give better protection to the SEN
ior securities, such as bonds and pre-
ferred stock, and it will put the COM
pany in better position to make rate
revisions.
"The preferred stockholders who are
spending their own money to hire law
yers already paid by the company are
just cutting their own threats. If the
Federal Power Commission succeeds,
the preferred stock will be improved,
and the preferred stockholders can
get more and bigger dividends. The
reason for this is that now the wa
tered common stock which is held by
the Ryan interests, by Kelley, and
the Electric Bond and Share crowd is
eating up the money which should go
in dividends to the preferred stock
holders. If this watered common
stock is eliminated, the preferred
stock can only be improved, and bring
bigger dividends.
1.-THE consumers will benefit by re-
duced rates on their electric bills.
The cost of plant, which this hearing
is determining, is a major factor in
the rates which you are
charged for electricity. If this is re-
duced as required by the accounting
procedure of the Federal Power Com
the Montana commission
should reduce our light bills about
$50, almost half of what they are
now. Because the common stock is
now so inflated the people have had
to pay extortionately high rates so
that Con and John could get their
dividends paid.
ct should be pointed out that the

UNDERGROUND WARNS DANES

The underground press is instruct
ing Danes not to be lured into prema-
ture activity by German invasion
alarms, says the Danish Information
Service. When the invasion really
begins, Danes are urged to remain at
home and seek shelter, so that roads
may be free for Allied attack on Ger
man communications. Because the
Germans are expected to take host
ages, the underground warns promi-
nent persons to prepare hiding places.

In an editorial ON September 81
The News declared: 1.-THE large use
of money in politics is unhealthy il
itself When the money comes from
sources outside Detroit and from
sources with specialinterest motives
for gaining influence in the city gov
eminent, it is unhealthy indeed"
With this, The News proceeded tc
spend more money on the campaign
| person or group involved in the cleo
ton, inestimable and invaluable ex-
penditures in terms of abundant space
and play given to the support of its
candidate on both the front page and
the editorial page.
The information disclosed in this
report was gathered with great care.
Rumors and reports were thoroughly
sifted and substantiated before they
were included. The Guild therefore
believes it represents the true story
about Detroit's three daily newspa-
pers.
CASE is SUMMED UP
The Guild believes these foregoing
facts justify these charges:
1. That The News, Times and Free
Press were guilty of violating news
paper ethics in refusing to accept the
Murray ad for publication.
g That The News and Times were
similarly guilty in refusing to accept
for publication the FITZGERALD ad in
volving the News garage tax assess
ment which The Free Press saw no
objection to running.
8. That there is reason to suspect
similar misconduct by The Detroit
Times for refusing to take the Fitz-
Gerald ad involving the ku kIux Khan.
f. That the following incidents show
further that The Detroit News, in par
ticular, grossly violated public trust,
newspaper ethics and tainted the high
ideals of freedom of the press in an
unwholesome display of unfairness
and misrepresentation by:
a. Failure to inform the public
that Jeffries too, had the financial
backing of union, informatian
which in all fairness the public
should have been given in the light
of The, News attack upon the con-
tribution made by another union for
political campaign purposes.
b. Deliberate unfairness in the
handling of campaign news stories,
especially in location of such stories
in the paper.
C. Refusal to accept the ad an
nouncing Murray's radio speech, an
ad which in itself would hardly
prompt legitimate objection and
which was run by both The Free
Press and The Times.
d. Underhanded and unwhoIesome
dealings, from a newspaper stand
point, with member of the Jeffries
campaign committee in handling ads
and with the Transfers union in
campaign activities.

ACM press is engaging in falsehood
when it says that this hearing is deal.
ing in value or valuation. The Fed
eral Power Commission is interested
only in the actual cost of plant, the
actual dollars and cents paid for the
company, not the inflated watered
common stock that was issued by the
company to Ryan and his co-conspira-
tors. In homely example, this is
what Ryan and Kelley actually did:
Two men each own an automobile
that is worth 5000 each. They decide
to form a Montana Power Taxi Com
pany a corporation. Then each sells
his automobile to the corporation for
$1,500000, and are paid in common
stock of the taxi company. Now the
corporation sets up it's cost of plant
in its accounting and we find that we
have a S3,000000 company, but the
actual cost or worth is only $1,000,
that is the two $500 automobiles they
started out with. This is approx
mately what John and Con did with
the Montana Power Company, and
this is what the hearing now being
held in Butte is all about, in ordinary
every day language" O'Connell con-
cluded.

NEWS FOLLOWS THROUGH

The News also refused because they
said the speech ran as story the
previous day and they felt that the
public was no longer interested in the
/ isue, even as paid ad. 1t was then
submitted to The Free Press, which
did run it.
The FITZGERALD advertising agency
also encountered other difficulties.
For one Sunday paper, it had been
agreed that The News would give each
candidate 40 inches of ads. The
agency discovered later that Jeffries
had an extra full page ad in the roto-
gravure section.
The agency made a complaint, was
informed that the agreement referred
only to "black and white" sections.
The News finally made an equitable
adjustment of space in the following
Sundays editions.
In reference to the handling of edi-
torial copy, it has been found that
both The Free Press and The Times
generally strove to give each political
candidate fair break on space and
placement for campaign stories, using
the usual parallel play" for the two
candidates.
But it was different story with
The News. The day after the pri-
mary election, the editor issued a
memo ordering the city desk to slug
daily stories on Jeffries' speeches for
page-one "Must," FitzGeraId's stories
for the "inside" of the paper.
This was carried out, and through
out the campaign after the primary
few if any FITZGERALD stories hit the
News front page. By contrast, The
News published front-page Jeffries
stories every day. and numerous times
carried pro-Jeffries editorial on the
front page plus another on the edi-
Lorial page.
On October 29, The News printed |
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1944-04-07

a front-page, two column story head
ed: Municipal Employees Back Mayor
Jeffries." Union leaders promptly
charged that the head was misleading
because the endorsement was from a
mere handful of employees belonging
to the Municipal Employees Associa
ton and almost insignificant to the
overwhelming number of city workers
who had endorsed FITZGERALD through
the AFL and the CLIO. The News
later carried story which criticized
the handling of the head.
After the primary, which Jeffries
lost, The News assigned one of its
most faithful reporters to help write
Jeffries' campaign speeches. This re-
porter was also assigned to cover Fitz-
Gerald political meetings
Obviously, this circumstance could
have been used to find FITZGERALD S
weak spots and then level Jeffries'
fire against them. The reporter was
later relieved of his double assign
ment and devoted his time solely to
helping write Jeffries' speeches.
1t was learned that the corporation
counsel, a Jeffries appointee and
treasurer of the Jeffries campaign
committee, had in his possession a
number of pro-FitzGerald political ads,
including Murray's before acceptance
or rejection was made by The News.
This gave him opportunity to review
the ads and recommend what action
The News should take
Throughout the primary and gen.
eraI elections The News continuously
attacked the CLOS appropriation of
$4,000 to be used for the local poit-
caI campaign, charging that minority
interests and pressure groups were
attempting to seize control of the
city.
In an editorial on September 81,
The News declared that Union Funds
in Politics are Unhealthy for Democ-
racy"
REPORT WITHHELD
But not until after the general cleo
ton did The News, or for that matter
The Free Press and Times, inform
the public that the leading contribu-
ton to the Jeffries campaign fund was
the $2,100 given by the AFL Team
sters' Union, which, acting independ-
emily, endorsed Jeffries in opposition
to the Wayne County Federation of
Labor's support of FITZGERALD
An official disclosure of the con-
tribution may have never been made.
Officials of the AFL Transfers Union
have refused to divulge the date such
funds were voted.
But The News at least must have
certainly been fully aware that the
Transfers were spending money,
mainly on radio speeches and adver-
because it has been learned
that the guiding light of that unions
program was none other than the re-
porter who helped write Jeffries' cam
paign speeches.
In fact, it was learned that he wrote
some of the speeches which were re-
corded and later presented over WWJ
as views of Teamster spokesman.
While attacking union support of
in editorials, The News |
praised and hailed on its front pages !
