U. S. publishers and editors were
too busy two weeks ago deploring the
lack of press freedom elsewhere and
getting ready for Newspaper Week
to adequately and fairly report the
first American session of the Execu
tive Bureau of the World Federation
of Trade Unions
Representing 70,OO00OO workers in
Sc countries, eight members of the
WITH Executive Bureau met Sept. 90
"a, discussed and reached agreement
on wide variety of problems con-
fronting workers all over the world
News OF the important meeting was
suppressed or played-down in nearly
all of the nations so-called free"
spapers-including the New York
and Washington press. Only the liber-
al, left-wing and CLIO labor press car
ried full stories.
Significant action taken at the meet
ing included:
l. Expression of world labor's deep
concern =. with the growing threat
to peace" and call to workers in
every land ito opposed the prepare
ton for another war"
2. Condemnation of the reaction
airy government of Greece" for it's sup
preston of the democratic liberties
of the workers freely to exercise their
trade union rights; and proposal for
restoration of the Greek labor unions
to the truly elected representatives of
the workers.
g. A demand that plans be immedi-
ately adopted by the various govern
ments for setting up an international
relief agency upon the liquidation of
UNRRA to meet the threat of disease
and famine
4. Continuation of efforts to secure |
effective representation" on the UN |

THE OLD SO AND
SO SAYS:

A Republican friend remarked the
other day that when he first became
interested in the Montana political
scene a certain democratic politician
was being thoroughly and vigorously
denounced, by most republicans and
many Company" democrats as a
'Bolshevik" Now this same crowd
hail him as martyr and will soon
elevate him to political sainthood. In
fact they made the effort about four
teen weeks ago. These same people
call Left Erickson a communist How
damien silly
| After the Spanish War POLITICAL in
surgency flared up in the republican
party throughout the west and its
leaders made history. They had to
fight the entrenched power of the rail-
roads which, through liberal uses of
passes, advertising and money ran
things with a high hand. William
Allen White, in his autobiography, re-
lates how he woke up, finally, and be-
gan to realize the extent to which
they had corrupted courts, legislatures
and the congress. Even the Supreme
Court Of the United States was not
left untouched. Today the railroad
corporations are, comparatively speak
ing, impotent in politics but in many
states some one corporation, like the
Du Points Rhode Island, or a combina-
ton of them are still in politics all
the time.
After the Spanish War those who
questioned the alleged divine right of
corporations to run things were called
Insurgents, after World War 1, Boil
sheviks and after World War II COM
munists. Old timers who have been
through the fight since 1898, they
laughed at being called Insurgents
and later the effort to dub them Boil
sheviks didn't bother in the least but
to be called communis today is an
being strongly resented. OF course to-
day had the opposition been less af-
fected with senility, it would not have
to brand an entire poll
teal party as communistic because |
even hide-bound republicans know
better and admit it. 1t takes a man |
who knows no party but only allegi-
ance to a "Company"-in Montana or
elsewhere-to pretend to believe it.
There can be no denying that to at
.ach a communist" label on any pub
ic effort or movement today and
prove it had at least some reason for
)eing there-means it's defeat. But,
while we hear much of efforts of Com
nunists to tie on to liberal movements

, in the World Court, as well.
If you are old enough, you will prob
ably remember the period of wild in
flaticn, and what they called a mild
depression" which followed upon the
heels of republican succession to
power. Older railroad men will doubt
less remember the drastic injunctions
issued against them when they were
battling against severe cut in their
already slim wages. But let us go on.

Hoover. for three years and four
months, with advice from the best

downward plunge of business. And
al that time Hoover with a straight

with the statement that Prosperity

there until the people had an oppor-

The people were in a sullen and

We sure appreciate remov-
able of those obsolete buildings
which served their usefulness for
the past 25 or 80 years and
which was the graveyard for OBJ
solete machinery and tools the

Seeing Eye

Members, please take heed.
Your Union, with the coopera-
ton of PAc is fighting tooth
and nail against reactionary
politicians who hate labor, and
what it represents. You know,
that the present Congress. has
done absolutely nothing for sthe
workers; neither has the Gov
enor of Ohio or the state legisla-
ture. Why should they when
they are sure they are going to
be reelected unless we organize
into solid organization for our
own benefit.
Look at the high prices we
pay for all the commodities we
need to keep life in our bodies.
Everyone should join in the
great crusade to force prices
down. We have made start,
let's finish the job the right way
by refraining from buying any
luxuries, electing only labor's
friends to Congress and state
Legislature and myabe a new
city government. Remember,
everyone who sppnds S1,00 to
join the PAC helps to beat la
Dor enemies.

reason that income taxes must
remain as high as they are. We
