THE PEOPLE ARE TAKING A HAND

aries and the finals in November.
The latest victims of the casting
out process were three Oklahoma con-
gressmen and three state incumbents.
Added to the primary election re-
suits in Minnesota, North Dakota and
Montana, a definite trend indicating
dissatisfaction on the part of the cleo
tors is clearly evident.
This is not surprising in view of the
performance of the present congress,
which has been extremely spotty as
to worthwhile and definite accom-
plishment and, without exaggeration,
can be described as presenting poll
tfcal rodeo, with clownish and I'M
statesmanlike features predominating.
With world peace in a tottering bal
ance, our domestic economy threat
ened with initiation of astronomical
proportions, and a record-breaking de-
preston in the offing, long-suffering,
patient and tolerant people have de-
cided to take a hand in the game in
which all the stakes are theirs.
Here in Montana, as elsewhere in
the nation, others are to be stamped
by the electors with the verdict of dis
missal on account of an all-around
record of performance which fell far
short of the requirements of these diff
ficult times.
Here in Montana, as elsewhere in
the nation, we are an orderly people,
and proceed In prescribed and orderly
manner to apply correctives to a situa-
ton which called for craftsmanship Of
a high order and unselfish devotion, in
place of which political and personal
have been in the saddle in
Washington, D. c.
The mediocre statesmen and small
bone politicians are on notice.
And 1t is well, and none too soon.

CAN ACM PURGE AL Mcleod

There have been many articles in the con-
trolled press lately relative to "purging" as
practiced by dictators in other countries, but
these papers never mention the "purging' !,
political and industrial, that the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company has been practicing
in Montana for many years
Any person who enters the political field
of the state and in anyway opposes the dicta-
torial policies of the company is quickly re-
tired to the background. The most common
method used by the company in getting rid
of these undesirables is by having the stooges
of the company smear the party they wished
to get rid of. The smearing at times takes diff
ferent forms, but the one most used is to have
the stooges circulate the report that the per-
son they desire to purge" is a Communist;
they also allude to these smears in their
papers, and as the company owned papers
have much greater circulation than the very
few decent papers of the state, many people
believe these company-owned papers, with
the result that they, the voters, go against the
very men who are trying to protect them from
corporate greed.
The aftermath of the miners strike in
Butte this spring is a fair example of the COM
pany's determination to purge from the in
dustrial field (by denying them the right to
make a living) all who would not agree to
selves what is known in labor circles as the
lowest form of animal life-a "SCAB."
AS none of these men were members of
organized labor the company officials felt
perfectly safe in making "a living example"
of them by dismissing them from the service
of the company whom many of them had
served since childhood. What wonderful
reward for years of faithful service.
In countries referred to by the corporate
press as purge countries" the Blood Purge
is the method used; the Purge used by the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company is the
starvation purge" What is preferable?
The quick death imposed by foreign dcta-
tors or the slow lingering starvation death
imposed by the Anaconda Copper Mining
Co., on all those who dare to object to the di-
tatorial policies Of this great CD company?
The latest successful purge by the COM

pany was the elimination of Sheriff Mcleod
of Silver Bow County from the sheriff's race.
Mcleod incurred the enmity of the COM
pany officials during the miners strike when
he would not accede to their wishes and in
form the Governor that he (McLeod) was not
able to control the situation in Silver Bow
County and request the Governor to send in
troops to prod the miners into frame of
mind that might have caused some real riot
ing and not the manufactured kind furnished
by the company.
The company press carried the story that
the Governor had to cancel very important
Missouri Valley Water Meeting (not power)
in order to remain close at hand in case it
became necessary for him to settle the trouble
at Butte. 1t is hard to believe that the COM
pany officials or the Governor himself would
figure that even one with the Governors
Herculean Stature" could hope to cope
with the terrible situation that existed in
Butte according to the company press), so
we must conclude that he remained at Helena
to call in the troops if the company officials
prevailed upon Mcleod to require that they
be sent it.
The truth is that there was no trouble in
Butte that the company could not have stop
ped immeditely had they SO desired and Nc
Leod was smart enough to handle the situa-
CiOl III q way Ciloc CiiiHllldCCO tLS ouCoOlilS
of blood and gave the Governor no reason to
send in troops, much as he and the company
desired to do so.
There is a persistent rumor in Butte that
the company is paying for the damage to the
homes caused during the strike by paid thugs
and goons. One article published shortly after
the strike, inferred that these thugs were paid
by the company, so it is only natural that the
company should pay for the damage caused
by their ''mischievious hirelings"
The question is not who will be the next
sheriff of Silver Bow County, the real issue
is-SHALL THE WORKING PEOPLE OF
SILVER BOW COUNTY STAND IDLY BY
AND SEE AL MCLEOD PURGED FROM
THE POLITICAL FIELD SIMPLY BECAUSE
HE HAS TRIED TO BE FAIR TO THE

STRONG c0-OPS FOR CONSUMERS MAY
eliminate LAb0R'S need FOR
USE OF STRIKE WEAPON

The right to strike is basic tene1
in a democracy. The Declaration of In
dependence supports even the right tc
strike against the government (revolu
tion) if a people feel driven to such
straits. Attempts to curb the workers
right to strike have failed partly be-
cause we are sensitive to the fact that
such curbs are a threat to everyone s
freedom.
During the war labor pretty largely
gave up the right to strike. Industry
refusing to bulge on production until
given real concessions on profits,
taxes, new plant amortization, etc. Be
cause press and radio are bought off
by industry through huge advertising
accounts, and because this strike oc-
Cured before the U. s. became direct
| ly involved in the war, it received
| little publicity.
Wartime industrial profits were en-
ormous. Millionaire industrialists and
Millionaire corporations increased as
the worlds people were forced against
their will to pour unheard of amounts
of blood and treasure into the holo-
caust. Labor bore the brunt of con-
slant criticism in press and radio for
its restiveness under war-imposed re-
straints that seemed not to apply to
salaries and profits of employers.
Farmers and Workers Were
Under Rigid Controls
Farmers labored under like re-
straints, ceiling prices keeping them
pretty we'll in line. 1t wasn't pleasant
to see their products effectively con-
trolled at the farm only to appear on
ray of new brand names that made
mockery of the OPA. But farmers
went along. Industry's rich haul out of
the blood and tears" program was
largely unnoticed. Every move by
labor to equalize its position was la
belled unpatriotic.
Although farmers have constantly
pointed out the futility of labor's
strikes, impatience has finally driven
an outspoken minority to call strike
on the farm All farm products are to
be withheld from market. Although |
agriculture's income has been high |
and its selling and purchasing ratio
relatively favorable, 1t is unquestioned |
that agriculture's weaknesses expose
it to severe punishment in the heart
less economy we tolerate. To some
the strike seems the only weapon that
can bring results. Is this true?
Labor has learned costly lessons
through strikes even though we'll or
ganized and prepared Are farmers
to stage a successful strike?
Add to this weakness the small margin
on which most farmers operate. A few
days strike would mean heavy self
imposed blow. Labor's strikes have
been gleefully used by industry to
help break OPA and making living
cost more for all Can anyone conceive
my other result from farm strike?
But above all, should farmers strike
low when sheer famine sits in on
every effort to make permanent the
rail peace won at such a CHASTITY
price? Food is a major factor 1t isn't

Correct?

Correct?
This is important for you to know
How much you will receive In benefits
under the OLD-AGE and SURVIVORS
INSURANCE program will depend on
the amount of wages credited to your
social security account.
Here's how you can check your ac-
count Ask your local Social Security
Board field office for post card Form
OAR-7004 $40, Federal Security
Agency.
If you prefer, you can write your
own letter to the Social Security
Board, Gambler Building, Baltimore,
Maryland, asking for a statement OF
your wage record under old-age and
survivors insurance Be sure to In
clude your social security account
number and your signature for pur-
poses of identification.
Your wage statement, which you
will receive in scaled envelope, will
probably not include your earnings in
the last to months. This is because
wages are reported only quarterly and
it takes time to list them on your
record.
Check the wage statement you re-
ceive from the Social Security Board
with the record which your employer
has given you in your pay envelope.
He is required by law to furnish you
with a statement of the wages he
paid you and the social security taxes
he withheld. He must do this at least
once year (most employers do it
every payday and also when you stop
for him.

The year 1916 has been tough one
on incumbents in office, so far. With
the open season about half over, the
present trend and all the portents
have all the earmarks of continuous

Montana, are marching to the polls

ONE DOWN AND ONE TO GO

| Mr.. Wheeler deliberately blew up the
red spectre in an attempt to frighter
the electorate into voting for him. Mr.
| Talmadge's campaign was anti-labor
anti-Russia and pro-white-supremacy
On an intellectual plane there was
! little to choose from between the sentI
ments expressed by the two candid
ates. Their strategy had hit an all time
low and was rewarded as it deserved
to be rewarded, by defeat. Mr.. Tai
made is an ignorant man. Mr.. Wheeler
is not; therefore his sin is against the
intelligence of his people was far
greater.
New York's fighting liberal news
paper, Marshall Fields PM, which,
despite the fact that only AZ copies OF
PM are sold in the Sc counties of the
state, had Mr.. Wheeler loudly and re-
peatedly accusing it of being one of
Stains tools, said of his defeat.
Senate investigators came to Hell
ena at Wheeler's request and for the
entire week Immediately preceding the
primary tied up Erickson's entire staff
in hearings at which contributors to
Erickson's campaign were identified
as Jewish" and charged with Com
munIstic" connections.
Shining Example of Montana's
"Free Press"
mot one of Montana's eight daily
supported Erickson. Five
of them are owned by the Anaconda
corporation. They carried columns
every day on the findings of the in
vestigators. When Erickson's cam
paign was mentioned at all, it rated
an inside headline, Erickson Speaks
In Campaign"
Nor was radio any easier for Erick-
son. Wheeler, himself, controls Mon
tana's big Zbar Network through Ed B.
Craney, long time Wheeler cronie
and business partner.
"Old Man Isolation had all the adj
vantages money can buy, but he had
lost the faith of Montana democrats"
The extent to which Wheeler had
lost the faith of Montana democrats is
best shown by his defeat DESPITE
the horde of his republican friends
who flocked into the democratic fold
to vote for him.
The New York Daily News, New
York partner of the Patterson-McCor
mick axis, seems to have seen the
handwriting before their midwest
double, the Chicago Tribune. Says the
News, editorially:
There is little something for
in Montana, where Sen
ator Burton K. Wheeler has conceded
1efeat by Left Erickson Erickson
IS democratic One-Worlder; Thye
Harold Stassen's MANI is republi-
IAN One-Worlder. If this is not
.rend, then we do not know one when
We see one"
This writer agrees with the News
or once. 1t is a trend, and very
hopeful one. When state from the
middle west and state from the far
vest show so conclusively that people
lave learned from past mistakes and
hat INSCRIPTIONS politicians are I'M
lble to find suckers enough for their
Medicine show to tip the scales in
avor of more of the same mistakes, 1t
s certainly good news for people.
But lot of us are wondering If, |
ince talking points are scarce around
epublican headquarters since the |
Pearl Harbor hope failed to material
re, the coming battle is going to be |
ome more of the same bill Of goods. |
IRE we going to have to listen to a
lew set of politicians accusing the |
,eople of Montana of being pink" If |
hey act their age?
