and yet are eligible for compensation
This is so, because victims of silico-
sis are not a liability to the industry
in Montana. The method of dealing
with the victims of silicosis in Mon
tana is the humane way
While workers in many occupations.
including farming, become victims of
silicosis, yet the great majority are
miners who go down into the bowels
of the earth to mine the ore which
contains the precious and useful met
ais without which there would be no
telegraph, telephone, radio, electric
light and power, washing machines,
electrical appliances, automobiles, in
fact, everything that goes to give us
a life of comfort, leisure and pleasure
Therefore, those who have become
afflicted with silicosis by following an
occupation whereby they produce
that is beneficial to all So
ciety are entitled to and should be
compensated by society while they
are suffering from the disease and
unable to earn living. Society owes
a recompense. Montana recognizes
silicosis as a social disease-(Mon-
tana Socialist)

amount paid by the state as compen
sation to those afflicted by silicosis
The war is delaying the attempt to in
crease the benefits.
| Silicosis is a slowly progressing dis
ease caused by the inhaling of silica
in the lungs. There is no known cure
for it and the victims of the disease
endure much suffering in the final
stages, which in most cases lasts for
years. A person may have silicosis for
Is or 20 years before being aware
Of it and will not know where he con-
tracted the disease or became afflicted
unless he has worked for only one
employer all his life. This makes it
impossible in most cases to charge an
employer with responsibility for sill
COSTS as an occupational disease.
The proponents of the Silicosis Com
pensation act have been much criti-
cized by uniformed people and by
some political demagogues because the
law does not recognize silicosis as a
compensate occupational disease For
many years efforts have been made to
enact law defining silicosis as an oc-
cupational disease and making the last
employer of the afflicted person re-
sponsible for compensation, but moth
ing resulted from such efforts. 1t is
under such plan that employers are
by necessity of self-protec-
ton to subject every employee to phys
ical examination and discharge those
who show the slightest symptoms of
silicosis.
Victims Not Industrial Liability
In Montana, however, no miner or
any other worker exposed to silica |
dust has to take a physical examina- |
ton to obtain employment nor is any
being discharged for being afflicted |
with the disease, if he is not incapaci-
.ated. 1t is safe to say that Montana
IS the only state where victims of
;ilicosis are not Disseminated against
n seeking and retaining employment

Up Goes Cost Of Living
Another Notch

An increase of 10 per cent in the
manufacturers net realized price of
farm equipment has been approved by
the OPA to cover advances in mate
rial and labor costs. The action, eff
fective May 10, provides for an in
crease of five per cent in the manu-
facturer's list price of equipment. At
the same time, it shortens the deal
er's discount so as to affect four
per cent dealer absorption in the price
increase. For the farmer, it means
that, taking into consideration the re-
vised retail prices of all equipment
and of repair and replacement parts,
which are not increased, the prices of
farm equipment to farmers will be
increased an average of approximately
three per cent.

Prejudice is the greatest enemy 0
truth" (Colton.)
The person who permits prejudic'
to control his thoughts and actions
is not apt to be one upon whom VIZ
can depend for the truth in matters
affecting any subject upon which he
is prejudiced
From prejudice to hatred is but 6
short step step frequently taken by
persons with leaning toward fan
atheism.
A few months ago, in an article pub
lished in The Peoples Voice, l dis
cussed an article by John T. Flynn
which was published in the Chicago
Tribune, Sunday, Sept. I'd, 1915, in
which Flynn virtually accused Presi
dent Roosevelt of inviting the Japs to
strike Pearl Harbor, with the resultant
destruction of the American fleet an
chored there, and the death of more
than 5000 American boys. This arti-
Gle was later printed in pamphlet form
and widely distributed, one copy com
ing to me, apparently from Flynn him
self
Senator Wheeler sent a copy to Mr..
Mustonen, of Vandalia, Montana, with
the comment that, eff they (the Flynn
charges) were not correct, John T.
Flynn would be put in jail" Later, a
special committee of the house and
senate spent months examining wit
nesses pertaining to the Pearl Harbor
disaster, and every one of Flynn's
charges were proven to be lies of the
most venomous type.
Was This a Smear on the
Late President
Did Wheeler really believe these lies
of Flynn's to be the truth? Or did he
circulate them because of prejudice
(perhaps hatred would be a better
world against Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and with the purpose of smearing the
memory of the dead president? If he
believed those unsupported lies, what
must we think of his judgment? If his
purpose was to smear Roosevelt, he
put himself beneath the contempt of
all honest-thinking people.
Notwithstanding the complete refu-
tation of Flynn's Pearl Harbor charg-
es and the thorough discrediting of
those who accepted them as truth, and
circulated them, Wheeler, nothing
daunted, has given credence to an
other article equally dirty and untruth-
full.
On the morning of March IA, the
TimesHerald, one of the
vile Observation-Disclosures chain of
carried an article by one
John O'Donnell, commenting on the
recent speech of Winston Churchill
at Fulton, Missouri. After getting off
a lot of bunk about Churchill's atti-
tude toward Russia, O'Donnell put
forth the following gustful blather,
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1946-05-24

Quote: 5000 hold your hats boys
were off again, hell-bent for a nice
rough and tumble with all the 1885
build-up by which Roosevelt and
Churchill suckered their nations into
war against Germany for strictly eco
nomic and cash ends while dishing out
to the cash customers the somewhat
tawdry, down-at-the-heels argument
about crusade for humanity, four
freedoms everywhere in our time, and
a general up-chucking of oratorical
garbage designed to make the names
go ringing down the corridors of
time" End of quote.
So Much Mental Garbage
Get these words: with all the 1888
80 build-up by which Roosevelt and
Churchill suckered their nations into
war with Germany" What do you mil
lions of men and women, who voted
for Roosevelt in 1910, and again in
1914, think of foul mind, operating
a scurrilous, notwithstanding pen
who can get off that lot of mental gar
bage?
Well, all that stuff, including a long
line attacking Great Britain, looked
good to Senator Wheeler, and he had
the entire article printed in the Con.
gressional Record the same day it was
published in the Washington paper.
Four days later, Roy o. Woodruff, re-
dictionary Republican congressman
from Michigan, also had it printed in
the Record, showing that great ca
minds (Wheeler's and Woodruff's) run
in the same groove.
Wheeler on Minimum Wage Bill
Incidentally, the only time Wheel
er has spoken up in the senate lately
was in discussion of the minimum
wage bill, when he remarked that he
was told by farmers in Montana last
that they paid men $40 and
s15 per day for harvest hands. He also
claimed that one farmer told him |
CWheeler) that he paid hired man |
81 day the year round. Believe it or
not; its in the Record.
1t is my opinion (perhaps I'm pre-
iudiced) that no lower, more contemp-
.ible character ever lived than the
creator of wilful malicious, defama-
DRY lies. And it also is my opinion
hat the circulator of lies, knowing
hem to be such, is little, if any better
han their originator
P. 81 see by the papers that r.
Bailey Stortz has been chosen to man.
age Wheeler's campaign for re-nomi-
nation. Now, let's see; didn't a fellow
by that name write lot of dirty, con-
-emptible stuff about Senator James
3. Murray few years ago; and didn't
Charlie Stevens, publisher of the Great
Falls News at that time, find it neces-
'ary to refuse the said R. Bailey Stortz
space in his paper? Oh gosh,
he memory of some people is short.

before in peacetime. Production in
1916 is expected to be over five bill
lion pounds more than it was in 1899.
Ten per cent of our production must
