HOLLYWOOD STRIKE
Wins Clio SUPPORT

HOLLYWOOD .-FP)-AFL screen
unionists starting their sixth month Of
pounding picket lines outside major
studios cheered news that the Los An
geles CLIO Council had responded to their
request to back their side in the compli-
Gated strike lockout.
A similar action was taken by the
monthly membership meeting Of the Los
Angeles Newspaper Guild CCIO) in re-
spouse to a request from picketing Screen
Publicists, one of more than a dozen
locals now officially respecting and
manning picket lines.
First CLIO action came in a strong
statement condemning producers for
their unjustified lockout Of Set Design
ers and various other screen unions
condemning the action Of the NLRB
which permitted strikebreakers to vote
in the election held for Set Designers
and calling on NLRB to make a speedy
decision which will restore the locked
out unions to work.
The councils executive board recon-
mended the boycott of films produced
by the picketed studios, including all
the major studios. The council, Sec.
Philip M. Connolly predicted, will call
on all CLIO unions and councils through
out the country to join in boycotting ex-
hibition of films by those studios. It
will also assist. he predicted, in organic
ing picket lines outside theaters where
such films are shown.

ORE UNCOVERED
ON SILVER STREET

Some workmen on Silver street, just
across the street from the old Casey
Candy Company, have been digging a
ditch and uncovered ore presumably
carrying gold. One Of the bystanders
said that the A. c. M, Co. took some
samples and made assays. This incident
reminds one of the lead that was I'M
covered on Park street in front Of the
American Theatre some time ago during
another ditch digging episode.
Many old timers have recalled the
channel which comes somewhere around
the old Holland Rink and ran in a
northerly direction to about where the
Safeway Store is located on Granite
street. In fact it has been said that a
body Of ore was uncovered somewhere
near where the Motion Picture distribut-
ing buildings are located on East Gran
tie. This channel was, it is said, quite
thoroughly placer mined, but evidently
all Of the gold was not recovered and
perhaps never shall be. d
Quite a number OF people in Butte get
a kick out Of the alleged policy Of the
Company news organization not to pub
lish any mining news and apparently
the allegation is correct because It is
certainly difficult TO get any news Of
mining in Montana from them.

NO, MONTANA TNOT
A DEAD DUCK

This is the answer to N editorial
written by one or more of the swivel
chair warriors" of the Corporation Press
end published in the Montana Standard,
August Z, l945.
Anyone not familiar with the high
handed methods used by the corporate
press in trying to hood-wink the pub
lie might think that this editorial was
submitted by the Fertilizer Department
Of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany as it has enough malarkey in it
to give it a decided barnyard odor.
I wonder if these people really believe
that the public, after reading this edi-
torial, will come to the conclusion that
Montana has gained in population? Mon
tana had a steady loss Of population
for quite a number Of years, before the
war, and during the war. Take Butte
as an example. In 1889 the Butte high
school had an enrolment of 2,400 stu
dents: in 1914 and 1945 the same school
had an enrolment Of 1900 students.
Does this indicate a gain in population?
The headquarters of the corporation
that own and control the Montana
Standard are located in Butte and one
would naturally assume that this COM
pany had more knowledge of the place
where their largest interests are than
they had of other parts Of the state.
But such does not seem to be the case.
They know all about the beet industry.
They know all about the Alaskan high
way. They know all about the oil in
dustry. The also know all about the
banking business and inform us that
the farmers and stockmen have salted
away the tidy sun Of SIG, 100000 in
these banks. I wonder how much money
those farmers would have had to salt
away if the Montana Power Company
had been successful in depriving them
of the use of the water Of the Missouri
river. which they almost accomplished,
and which would nave been accomplished
had it not been for the diligence Of our
attorney general, Mr.. r. V. Bottomly.
knowing everything ABOUT the s1hJe,
how is it that they seem to have no
knowledge whatever of Butte, where they
are supposed to be mining copper ore
(or should I say steam shoveling and
draglining copper ore) for which they
receive a bonus. Strange what a Won
derful effect a bonus has on this COM
pany's patriotism. OF course we all
know how patriotic this corporation is;
that was shown very clearly when four
Of their officials were sent to Jail for
defrauding the U. S. government by sell
ing it defective communication wire to
be used by our armed forces. They are
patriotic it seems only when there is a
bonus in the offing.
It seems that the ire Of this corpora

J The last witnesses August "a, climax
ing a full week of testimony, were
Beardsley Ruml, treasurer of Macy &
Co., New York and chairman Of the
Federal Reserve Bank, Inc Pres. Harry
schacter of the Kentucky Merchants
Association.
Ruml declared that opponents Of the
bill who call it European or British in
theology, are misleading Americans. Al
though RUM objected to the term the
right to work in the bill, he asked TO
substitute a phrase that would approach
the problem from the opposite angle
by stating as a policy of the government
that involuntary unemployment threat
ems not only the rights and proper priv
ileges of citizens" but also "menaces
the institutions and foundations Of a
free democratic state"
Perhaps the best witness of the two
was Schacter, who is also director OF
LouisviIe's second largest department
store. AS a spokesman for $500 retail
merchants, he told the Senate commit
tee that business has the greatest stake
in full employment"
yet" he continued, there is a small
segment Of our business community that
feels we ought always to nave a pool Of
unemployed to serve as a disciplinary
force for labor and to keep wages down.
There are sone who even subscribe to
the hoary principle OF root hog or die.
And there are some who think that full
employment will lessen the incentive and
initiative Of labor.
Il think that those businessmen who
feel we should have a pool Of unemployed
to act as a sword Of Damocles over the
head of labor, suffer from economic
myopia. These gentlemen all to re-
alize that whatever speelous gains they
might make in keeping labor and wages
down would be more than offset by the
consequent loss of volume and profit to
all business that such purchasing power
might have achieved"
sehacter recalled that $40 of 1900, 600
retail establishments in the country did
42% of the retail volume in 1889, while
go in big cities, did the remaining $50.
He called the 91q6 the backbone Of our
American retail community and said to
them full employment is almost a mat
ter Of economic life or death. This bill
was made to order for them"

CUFF
BY TRAVIS K. HEDRIC
VIII Truman Assert
Real leadership?

WASHINGTON-FP)-A decision on
whether the Democratic majority in the
18th Congress is going to be permitted
to drift aimlessly or be skillfully guided
along a progressive course in coming
months will be found in the message
President Harry S. Truman is drafting
for presentation on September 5.
Truman's message to the returning
Congress will be awaited with eagerness
both by the hapless Republican machine
and the New Dealers, labor and pro-
gressive elements of the country.
A strongly worded call for action on
unemployment compensation, broader So
cial security, the full employment bill
and other legislation liberals regard as
positive 'musts' within the next three
months is urgently needed-primarily for
the good of the country but also for the
continuance in power of the Democratic
party.
Anything less than a firm demand for
the minimum program o SO necessary,
will be an invitation to the COP to
come and get it" in 1916. And The
Republicans are not unaware Of the
opportunity.
COP Chairman Herbert Brownell, Jr.
Who has often whistled his way past Old
Guard burying grounds, is again spout
ing about winning control of Congress-
but this time he has a real chance il
the Truman forces fail to assert leader
ship and take the helm in Congress.
Certainly it cannot be denied that the
scuttling of the liberal program, with
the mass unemployment resulting, would
mean a roll of some 7 million or more
iobless by the summer of 1916. And
those unemployed would spell enough
votes to throw out the Democrats in the
House-and possibly even in the Senate
in the elections that fall.
If. as expected, Truman comes Out
flatly for a New Deal program and de-
mands that the majority fall in line tc
enact it without a dilly or daily, it vii
mean that both the President ant
democratic Chairman Robert E. Hanne-
gan have discarded the latter's origina
policy of trying to get along without
the accepted and positive cooperation O
organized labor's political strength.

News of The Cascade
Trades Assembly

Committee Reports
B. I. Steinmetz reported on the State
Federation Convention held at Billings.
Further reports on the Convention were
made by L. L. Price, A. J. Sieben and
Austin Thompson.
1t was reported that no funds should
be sent to Helena in behalf Of the Violet
Eastman case until the Helena Trades
and Labor Assembly is ready to receive
funds.
Among the resolution adopted at Bill
hngs was one requesting the creation Of
a Missouri Valley Authority similar to
iva and also the liberalization OF the
Unemployment Compensation Act.
John Dusak called attention to a profit
sharing system which is apparently be-
ing ~inaugurated by Buttrey's store. Or
ganized labor should beware Of all profit
sharing schemes.
