ALL MEMBERS in MONTANA DEPLORE
GREEN'S ENDORSEMENT OF
SENIOR SENATOR

The recent announcement by VIII
lam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, that from his
vantage point Senator Wheeler should
be returned to Washington, has
aroused general Indignation in or
ganized labor circles of Montana. Typ
ical of protest letters which have been
flooding ALL headquarters in Wash
ington. from individual AFL members
is the following by Don Peterson, sec.
rotary, Helena Typographical Union
No. 95 (AFL):
Helena, Montana.
June, IS, 1916,
Mr.. William Green, President,
American Federation of Labor,
Washington, 1, D. c.
Dear Sir:
l received today your letter and a
copy of the endorsement you gave
Sen. B. K. Wheeler of Montana for
reelection at the July primaries in
this state.
I was much surprised to find that
one with the information at your com
mand and the intelligence you are ex-
pected to possess to stoop to such a
political move as endorsing anyone
who has been so widely discredited
as Senator Wheeler for all of his ac-
tivities during the past decade. You
should know his anti-war record dur
ing the past conflict, to even his stoop-
ing to inform the enemy of secret
military movements, his assistance to
the enemy by his many and fragrant
speeches of encouragement and SYM
pathy. You should know, if you are
DESTROYS of knowing the truth, that
he has lent his franking privileges
to enemy propaganda in the dissent
nation of literature to the unsuspect-
ing public. Yes, it is also true that
Senator Wheeler manages to do few
things for a few months before cleo
ton that is beyond reproach in the
interests Of labor and the farmer, but
for the balance of his term of office
he has proven himself to be true
and tried fascist that even Hitler in
his propaganda has seen fit to quote,
in fact Wheeler and Lindbergh were
the most widely quoted United States
citizens in all of that infamous cam
paign of disunity that has ever been
carried on in our history.
If you were to take the trouble to

could have the whole range to him
self.
Finally, Old Johns cowboys and
ranch hands got the idea that they
did enough work for any man during
the daylight hours, and baked at be-
ing used by him to freeze out the
neighbors. When the hands decided
they'd had enough dictatorship, things
changed fast. Even Old John changed
when he met solid organization-and
the whole countryside benefited.
Foreign and domestic affairs are
not that simple, of course, but one can
notice that the same voices which
advocate what is politely termed
strong foreign policy" are forever
busy on the home front trying to bust
the organization of the people, start
ing with labor.
There are some people who never
want to go out and fight prairie fires
til they actually see the flames NOV
ing their particular way. Then they
go out and beat them down alongside
of friend and foe alike. Even Old John
always loved his neighbor at such
times. 1t was fight or be burned out.
Sometimes 1t is both if we wait too
long.
Would Regulate Unions
To Death
Now, the Case bill was heavy yellow
smoke, plain to be seen, when it was
introduced many months ago Mr..
Case, who was elected from Hearst
Homestake Country with funds from
the National Association of Manufac-
turers big-shots, only wants to regu-
late the unions-regulate them to
death.
The recent Truman speech was lot
more than smoke-it was fire with a
strong wind behind it. Labor organi-
cations are at those flames now. The
enlightened farmers will be right in
there with their tractors to pillow fur
rows for a backfire. This fire has a
good start-but we can and we must
head it off if we are to stay American.
The record shows that every coun-
try over-run by fascism first saw its
labor unions hog-tied. This removed
the most powerful directors from the
path Of those "get-tough" monopoly
forces on their way to another war.
With all the lessons of the last 80
years, we Americans shouldn't be
needing another one.

inform yourself of the qualities OF
the opposing candidate for senator on
the Democratic ticket in Montana
namely Judge Left Erickson, you
would find him to be unimpeachable
in character and honor, one who has
proved that he cannot be bought by
the parasite corporations of the state,
one who has always been friend OF
labor and the farmer, one who the
large corporations are desperately
fighting by any and all means to de-
feat.
Before you start endorsing candi-
dates in any state you should make
it point to know who is best quail
fled for the office and who the labor
ing men and women and the farmers
Of that particular state want, if you
are still in doubt then you will do
well to keep out of that states poll
tics and mind your own business.
Hoping that you will retract your
endorsement of the fascist-Wheeler
and join in supporting and endorsing
Judge Erickson for senator from Mon
tana at an early date before the dam
age you have done becomes real, and
permanent. Don't forget that labor in
Montana is for Erickson and against
Wheeler for senator.

Listening to President Truman's
'draft-labor" speech gave me that
nervous, tense feeling stockmen ex
perience when they see the smoke OF
prairie fire ON the horizon. When
such fire gets loose on the range II
means destruction to everything its
path. The mere sight of smoke means
that man and boy must get going with
cans of water and old gunny-sacking
"a fast ride and hard battle to save
the range grass and all they have
saved, stored and built on for years.
This is something like the situa-
ton in which the labor movement now
finds itself. 1t means fight-all-out
fight. The labor movement, job secur-
ity and fair take-home pay, are not
the only things threatened. Fires don't
burn along a straight line. The farmer
cooperative movement and the demo-
cratic rights of all the people are at
stake.
Smoke has been thickening in the
air ever since before the shooting
wal olitC NlClOly CCl
tain. 1t could be smelled first in the
sudden creation of international ILL
will, then in the great wave of anti
labor propaganda that began to pour
over the country, then in the admin
istration and congressional failure to
provide for the American people in
postwar months. Smoke was there in
increasing Misrepresentation about
farmer-owned consumer and market
ing co-operatives too. An unseen en-
envy within our borders was busy set
ting spot fires.
Then came the open get tough
with Russia" policy. This didn't seem
to bother some near-sighted and con-
fused people much, but get-tough for
eign policy is the other side of a get
tougher home policy-as we can all
see today.
One Coming, One Working,
One Going
1t somehow reminds me of rancher
known as old John H. The neighbors
of old John said he always had three
crews of ranch handsome coming,
one working, one going. And each man
in each crew had to carry lantern,
as they all seemed to start in before
sunup and finish after dark.
The neighbors didn't bother with
this too much-until they realized that
Old John was also trying to run his
neighbors out of the country so he
