THE MONTANA LABOR NEWS

these men for some years If newspaper
reports are correct the death of these die
tators was spectacular to say the least and
rather morbid. Mussolini was dergaded
to the depths and even his dead body re
viled. 1t has been said quite frequently
and truthfully that there is reaction to
every action and the pain, suffering and
sorrow in Europe sees its reaction in un-
restrained passions of the people which
will be looked upon with horror in future
generations. It is presumed by many
that if Hitler is dead he committed sui
eide; a rather ignominous end to a bril-
liant if cruel career. Very few regret the
passing of these two men but there is
nothing to be gained by desecrating the
dead. 1t may take generations for hui
manity to overcome the brutalities of the
past several years but temperance and
loving kindness will eventually prevail.
Montana labor news., 1945-05-03
FRISCO MEETING
SHOWS REACTION

The refusal Of the big powers to accede
to request of Russia for Poland in the
San Francisco Security Conference is not
a surprise, but it points the way the wind
is blowing, especially in regard to the
accentuation of the reactionary policies
and the suppression Of liberal action The
delegates from Argentina were seated and
actually without deserving it. Argentina
has never shown a friendly attitude to-
ward the United Nations and particularly
has never shown a regard for this country
The refusal of the conference to grant the
request of Molotov, the Russian delegate,
for representation Of Poland can only be
interpreted as reputation Of liberal
thought and liberal ideas, nOtwithstand-
ing the specious argument that the United
Nations had to abide by the rules Of the
Crimcan conference
Many working people were sorely dis
appointed at the action Of the conference
excluding Poland. 1t is sincerely hoped
that the San Francisco Conference will
show more advanced social and eco
nomic attitude for the future Of the world
than has been shown so far.
Montana labor news., 1945-05-03
MAY DAY A TIME
OF GLADNESS

Last Tucsday, the first day Of May, was
May day, generally recognized through
out the world as labor's universal holiday.
1t was particularly observed in Russia
with demonstration Of military strength
and vigor. Other countries and other peo-
pies also recognized the day.
The observance of May day is almost
lost in antiquity. 1t was celebrated by
the Romans, English and French. The
actual significance means a time Of joy
and gladness as evidenced by May poles,
dancing and singing. Today May day
comes to mean a time Of liberation Of the
people from the thraldom Of an outworn
economic and social system.
Montana labor news., 1945-05-03
OPA DOING FINE WORK


At times there has been some lmpa-
tience and yexation expressed by people
toward the local OPA office but after all
with the limited staff and SO many whims
and caprices of people to satisfy it IS a
marvel that this local government agency
performs such a meritorious job. 1t IS
admitted that some times people must
wait in line or that their ration books are
not forthcoming Immediately. However,
the local OPA office is efficient, consclen-
tous, obiging and courteous and at all
times show "a willingness to cooperate
with the public. After all the people Of
Silver Bow county haven't been deprived
Of very much when one considers the col
losal magnitude Of the demands Of war
Montana labor news., 1945-05-03

panies o. forced out of business by their
comp ..on until only three theatres re-
NAMED n Butte in 1882, all owned by
one major producer distributor.
These three theatres operated on a
policy of showing first-run feature films
untl an independent theatre was opened
u BUTTE with a second-run policy. The
affiliated theatres then changed their
policy in order, it is charged, to hamper
and restrict the operation of the indie
pendent theatre Two Of these theatres
became second-run, showing 480 fea-
fures in the year following the opening
of the new theatre. During the previous
year, these two houses had shown 26C
motion pictures. 1t is also claimed that
these theatres contracted for more fea-
lures than they could use for the pur-
pose of preventing the independent
theatre owner rom securing sufficient
films to operate his theatre.
In connivance with other major pro
ducer- distributors, the complaint charges
one major producer-d distributor deprived
the independent theatre owner Of free
access to second-run product. When thii
exhibitor opened a large, modern, first
run theatre in Butte in 1910, it is
charged that other major distributor
again combined with this dominent pro
ducer- distributor in refusing to rem
firgt-run films to the new theatre,
1t is claimed that the major producer
distributor used its strong bargaining
! power as the largest theatre owner il
the territory to secure cooperation o.
the other major distributors in eliminat-
ing competition from independent the
aires
The complaint also alleges that th'
major producer-distributo tried to in
fluence the independent exhibitor
creditors to bring pressure on him to sci
his theatres to the affiliated chain,
"Such charges as these certainly war
rant investigation, Senator Murray said
similar coercive measures are describe
in other complaints"
IAN objective investigation will b
made of these and other charges to cor
rect any evils which might be found
exist" Senator Murray announced. wv
must make certain that the field of me

SENATOR MURRAY
TO MAKE INQUIRY
ABOUT THEATRES

WASHINGTON April "a complaint
received from an independent motion
picture theatre owner in my home town
of Butte, Mont, charging that the great
producer exhibitor monopoly is using
unfair, coercive means to destroy his
business, is typical of charges made by
many other theatre operators through
out the country declared Senator james
E. Murray, of Montana, in announcing
today that the Senate Committee on
Small Business, of which he is chair
man, is launching an investigation OF
this apparently widespread problem.
The senator said he has instructed
Dewey Anderson, executive secretary OF
the committee, to make a thorough sur
vey of all complaints, 70 conduct the
necessary staff studies Of the problems
involved, and report bis findings to the
committee for action Ii found neces-
eary, the committee win conduct open
hearings of this vital issue.
Independent film theatre owners
those who are not affiliated with any OF
the major motion picture producing
companies, have represented to the COM
mittee that they are being subjected to
a relentless squeeze. forcing them to
close their theatres, or else suffer alb
sorption by the major producing COM
panies and the large theatre chains.
THE vital Importance of motion pic
lures as a medium for the communica-
ton Of thoughts and ideas gives the
public real stake in them Senator
Murray observed. ANY practices which
result in restraint Of trade, or prevent
the exhibition of films in any area OF
the country would infringe on the public
interest In that territory"
1t is charged in the complaints re-
ceived that five theatre owning produc-
ing companies give unfair preference tC
the theatres affiliated with them in re
spect Ito choice Of films, playing time
price, ana numerous other factors. Il
addition, the large chains Of non-affih
hleu bllSdblto uoC LAASh NfANNAA'@'N -,
chasing power to secure preferential
treatment over small theatre owners
According to independent exhibitors
these combinations and favors have mao
it increasingly difficult for them to sun
vive.
The figures Of the Hays organizalo
itself show that during the past decao
the relative Importance of small ind'
pendent theatres has declined sharpl
Between 1888 and l94l, the total nun
Der OF motion picture theatres in tn
country increased from 1S,4l6 to 1926
independent theatres which were 68 p
cent Of the total number in 1888, dropp'
to So per cent in 1941. During the san
period the number of theatres belongif
to large unaffiliated chains increas'
from is per cent of the total to 20 p
cent. The number of the chain system
also increased from 23s in 1888 to 8
