Case Anti-Labor Bill Headed
For u. S. Senate Graveyard
AFL Volunteers Gird
For Red Cross Drive

Washington, D. C.-Volunteer A.
F. of l.. representatives on American
Red Cross Fund Campaign committees
throughout the country are preparing
to carry the March 1916 appeal for
$100,000,000 to the ranks Of organized
labor
Lets Go! Let's Give!" is the slo-
gan appearing on a special poster and
pamphlet prepared jointly by the A.
F. of l.. Labor League for Human
Rights and the Red Cross. Matthew
Woll, president of the Labor League,
is optimistic about the campaign,
which has the endorsement of Presi-
dent William Green and other national
and regional officials.
Royal G. Agne, Red Cross director
of Fund Raising, returning from a
trip to the Midwestern and North At
lantic areas, said "labor has been help
full in getting the campaign organiz-
ed" acknowledgement committees
again will be utilized in the campaign,
which will continue through March.
Radio, press and screen will give
wide coverage to the fund drive, which
emphasizes three continuing battle
fronts: service to men in the armies
of occupation; to GIs and veterans in
hospitals; and to returning veterans
with their manifold problems of per-
sonal adjustment.
A. F. of L. members of the armed
forces have been generous in their
praise of Red Cross services, not only
to soldiers but to war refugees. No
one more than the Red Cross worker
is so aware Of the needs of the wan
dering derelicts who are suffering the
aftermath Of war. This poignant ap-
peal comes from Naples:
"Those who still enjoy the comforts
of home and do not know what it is to
go without food and clothing through
bitter winter months when the body
needs warmth and nourishment, cam
not imagine the misery abroad in the
world today" Red Cross worker
writes. "Take the word of the few who
have seen it, and believe us when we
say that your contribution, whatever
it may be, will do lot toward making
life little happier not only for our
loved ones, but for our less fortunate
brothers and sisters the world over"
In addition to its postwar program,
the Red Cross carries on continuous
services to civilians through classes in
Home Nursing, Nutrition, First Aid,
Water Safety and Accident Prevent
ing, and gives assistance to disaster
stricken communities. "A. F.. of L. mem-
bers and auxiliary members have long
been active in year-round cooperation
in volunteer capacities.

Bipartisan Opposition to Vicious Measure Spells
Eventual Defeat

"The Case Bill says you can enjoin
a strike or union. That would amount
to putting everybody in Jail and al
lowing every individual judge to make
the law"
Senator J.. William Fulbright add
ed:
"All of us have received letters urg-
ing us to do something to stop strikes,
when it is perfectly obvious to most
of us that Congress can do nothing to
stop strikes"
"In the field of human relations" /"
Senator Lister Hill said, 1--WE must
have mutual confidence, understand
ing and goodwill. The minute anyone
comes in with big stick, even though
it be the Government Of the United
States, with the threat of knocking
some one on the head, Immediately the
result is to destroy understanding,
confidence and goodwill. 1t then be-
comes a struggle from which there
arise malice, greed, bitterness, resent
ment and all the things that under
mine the spirit that must be present in
good labor relations"
Both Senators Hill and Fulbright
agreed that "compulsion will not work
but will simply increase the trouble" !"
They also emphasized that not one
leader of industry or labor appearing
before the Senate Labor Committee
had recommended that Congress
should adopt legislation to end strikes
and industry Labor disputes.
However, similar views were ex-
pressed by progressive leaders in the
House during the debate on the Case
bill, but they were showed under in
the 197-115 vote by which the bill was
passed.
The measure requires a 30-day cool
ing-off period before strikes, gives
courts authority to issue injunctions
against unions, makes unions liable
for damage suits, bans violent picket
ing, and outlaws most jurisdictional
strikes and boycotts.

Washington, d. C.-The Senate La
Dor Committee, which has buried
many House-approved anti-labor bills
in the past, is now digging grave
for the Case Bill, the worst in his
tory.
Leading Senators from both major
political parties We'd with each other
in lambasting the obnoxious Case
Bill.
Senator Wayne B. Morse called it
"an ill-advised hodge-podge of legal
prohibitions which will cause more
economic disruption than economic
stability"
Senator Warren G. Magnuson, ex-
pressing strong opposition to the bill,
said the Senate Labor Committee
would have to study it "a long time" !"
Even Senator Joseph Ball, propon-
ent of anti-labor legislation on his own
account, scoffed at the Case Bill and
declared he wasn't sure there were
enough votes to bring any labor-regu-
latory legislation out of the committee
at this time.
His statement emphasized the key
danger in the present situation. Even
though the Senate does not seem dis
posed to go as far as the House with
anti-labor legislation, the strategy of
labor's enemies will be to get some
bill, no matter how mild, out of COM
mittee and approved by floor vote.
This legislation would then go back
to the House, which might then SUBJ
stitute the Case Bill for the Senate
provisions. The legislation would then
go to joint conference committee of
both houses and there is no telling
how bad bill might finally emerge.
The only security for labor against
dangerous legislation, therefore, is to
defeat any kind of labor bill in the
Senate.
That is what the American Fedora
tion of Labor is now aiming to do. 1t
must have the help of all local and
state organizations in this campaign.
AFL President William Green urg-
emily calls upon all affiliated organi-
cations to communicate at once with
the Senate Labor Committee and call
for the defeat of all anti-labor pro-
posals.
Sentiment among the members of
the Senate appeared to be in agree
ment with labor that strikes cannot
be prevented by anti-labor legislation.
Senator Robert A. Taft said:

Silence is Eerie
When Motor Stalls

When your motor goes dead al
28OO feet and you start drifting
down, the sudden silence is rather
eerie and oppressive"
So stated A. c. Austin, in COM
menting on his recent forced land
ing IN the Oehlrich grain field east
of U. S. 2 and about mile and
one-half north of the Libby Fish
Hatchery. The Libby forest ranger
was flying near Gopher Inn south
of town, when the Piper Cub be-
longing to the local aviation club,
stalled at $500 feet, an altitude too
low for gliding back to the airport.
Neither Austin nor the plane were
injured, but when asked for his re-
actions while coming down. he re-
Piled as above, adding that a forced
landing from that altitude gives one
plenty of opportunity for medita
toni
The plane left the Oehlrich field

The best ball game on the local
grounds this season was that of last
Sunday, when the Libby team de-
feated Troy by a score of II to 8.
The locals had the best of the
game all the way and were never
in real danger. F. Spencer, on the
mound for Libby, struck out IL and
pitched very good game.
The Libby team were meek and
gentle for four innings Sunday af-
ternoon and then gave Troy a les
son in destruction as they broke
their streak, an outburst which,
trayed the nerves of the pouting
fans.
AS result of this crowded round,
batters appeared at the plate, scored
runs, and elevated themselves to a
winning streak from here on.

Make Plans for
Air Facilities

Libby may receive $72,5O0 of fed
eral airport aid money for use in
either improving the present forest
service landing field or building a
new airport. Such is the unofficial
information which was discussed
Monday evening at joint meeting
held by the aviation committee of
the Libby Chamber of Commerce
and Representatives from the local
chapter of the Montana Aviation
Association.
Just how much of this money
may have to be matched locally, is
unknown at present but as applica-
tons to CAA will soon be accepted,
it is deemed necessary to perfect
local plans for taking advantage of
this opportunity.
An item of importance to all who
are interested in the local develop
ment of air traffic. recently ap-
peared in the CAA Journal, the Of
fIclal government publication of the
Civil Aeronautics Administration.
1t says:
"A special provision Of particular
interest to Western states is that the
United States pay up to 6212% of /.
cost in states where public lands
exceed SO of the total area"
In another issue, this same maya
zine states that Montana's share of
the proposed 1856, ESQ, 900 to be di-
vided among the states on the on
an area-populaiOn basis, will
amount to $9,428,452. Federal
money which may become available
for use here, will come from this |
fund. I
The publication also states: Our
most urgent need today is for small
llrports to serve the swelling ranks
