That is a brief summary OF the
Flaw and order" which flourished with
| the consent of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company Not only with the
consent, but with the assistance OF
that company's miserable and scabby
agents, known as and properly labeled
as gunmen-thugs, who drew their pay
from and were protected by the COM
pany's executives located on the Sixth
floor of the Hennessy building.
For the record l am going to fur
nish to the voters of Silver Bow coun-
ty some accurate details of the ACM
Co.'S brand of claw and order" of form
er decades, that the voters may vote
intelligently on November 5, without
prejudice to anyone and for the best
interest to ALL citizens.
Back in 1914 the Miners had a
Union hall on North Main Street. 1t
was substantial building, of brick
with stone foundation, and it took
many charges of dynamite to complete
the destruction. The dynamite was
secured from the nearby Steward
mine, operated by the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Co. There was no attempt
made to stop the dynamiters. No mine
guards interferred. The dynamiters
worked through the night until a.
M and made many trips to the Stew
ard for dynamite to complete the
destruction of the Miners home.
No objections in any form were
offered by company personnel. No
regrets were impressed No prosecu-
ton followed.
During the disturbance" partici-
pated in by imported gunner, an In
nocent bystander was shot and killed.
1t was merely passing incident In
the bloody and destructive record of
the ACM Co. No prosecutions followed.
Some years later, during some more
company promoted disturbances,
cripple named Frank Little was filled
full with lead on North Wyoming ST.,
his body dragged to a railroad trestle
and strung up.
The English language is entirely
inadequate to properly catalogue the
perpetrators of this cowardly murder
as humans No prosecutions followed.
During another company disturb
ance, company guards, behind barri-
cades, drenched Anaconda Road with
the blood of unarmed Miners. Just
another incident in the long and
bloody record to subjugate the Work
ers and send more blood profit to the
queen of Holland No regrets and no
prosecutions.
Still another incident during a com
pany disturbance" An imported gun
man from Salt Lake City distributed

Helena There is no political
apathy in Montana this year.
Elemental forces are in conflict in
this raw empire of mining, agriculture,
cattle and sheep.
Though complicated as are all cleo
lions by many issues, there is under
meath the old basic fight. That is be-
tween the big corporate interests with
headquarters and financial backing in
the east, headed up by the company,
Anaconda Copper, on the one hand
and on the other the more progress

the paralyzing hand of corporate con-
troll and develop the state.

"Now is the time to prevent acct

proper shape for winter driving" he
pointed out. Careful check should

shield wipers, defrosters, headlights
and even the exhaust. Some of these
winter safety necessities should be
checked even by fortunate owners of

up or being stalled. On the thousands
Of average vehicles still in use, 1t is
imperative that sincere attention be

customary mechanical check-ups, oil

Drivers themselves, he advised, can
help reduce accidents by adhering to
these simple rules: Adjust speeds to
conditions, use anti-skid chains when
severe snow and ice conditions pre-
vail, maintain visibility, slow down
well in advance of intersections and
curves, follow other vehicles at safe
distances, and signal intentions of
