Out Of The Peoples Pockets
Senator Flanders can't kid the
American people about proflteerihs'
That extra SO billion has come right
out OF their pockets and gone into
the Golfers Of the food spectators and
profiteers.
The food trusts control all prices
from the primary to the retail levels.
Last year the dairy trust was caught
red-handed rigging the price OF butter
on the commodity exchanges. During
the - months following the lapse Of
price control the price of steers went
up 52cc but the wholesale price OF
beef charged by the big packers rose
almost 1900.
The food trusts have been stocking
the fires Of initiation in order to in
crease their already swollen profits.
They have pyramided one price in
crease on top OF the other and marked
up price rises from n level OF dis
~tribution to the next until consumers
no longer can afford to bur what their
families need.
In the face Of these known facts,
the American people-with their chill
dren forced to eat less because the
profiteers are running hog wild-are
not going to fall for the attempted
w~hite-wash by Senator Flanders.
Profiteering can and must be con
trolled. Price control. consumer sub
sides, %rationing and ALLEGATIONS should
be used to roll back prices to levels
that people can afford to pay.
1t is high time that food-like the
telephone and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES be
declared a public utility and regulated
in the interests Of the health of the
people. Immediate price roll-backs
and permanent regulation Of food
prices are required to prevent food
being used to place profits before the
peoples health.

YME OF YOUTH
IN MONTANA FIRMS

The Department of Agriculture, Lab
or and Industry. through its DIVISION
of Labor thas issued a bulletin per
tanning to the employment OF minors.
This bulletin is entitled Rules n
Regulations for the Employment OF
Minors and its contents are OF vital
importance 10 all employers, particul-
larlv those who employ young people
during the vacation period or after
school hours. The bulletin is being
distributed by the Montana Employ
ment offices and if employment offices
are not available a copy or several
comics of the bulletin may be obtained
by writing to the Department OF Az
.riculture. Labor and Industry. Division
OF Labor. Helena.
Employers attention is directed to
the requirement that for each minor
employed. he. the employer. must have
on I'll. an Age Certificate work per-
mitl issued by the Division of Labor.
Helena. Montana. Failure to have the
certificate is a violation Of law even
rhough the employment Of the minor
would otherwise be legal.
+. c. Burris. speaking for the Divi-
sion Of Labor, states that a number
of injuries have occurred to minors
who have been illegally employed. and
as a result of these injuries the Divi-
sion will find it necessary to take
action against the employer respon-
sible."
Rrrris states further that an in
! crease of six hundred percent in APP
| plications for the employment of min
ors over pre-war years indicate that
a majority of employers are co-operat-
ing with the Division. However,
there are a number who either through
ignorance of the law or because OF
Indifference have failed to comply.
The procedure set up by the Division
with the approval of the United States
Department of Labor Is not so cum.
bersome as to require a great amount
of the employers time in order to
comply with the law. All employers
are covered in some respect by the
| child labor laws. whether they are
large or small, interstate or interstate
commerce, retail or wholesale. EN-
ployers are invited to correspond with
the Division of Labor. We are here
in order to advise the employer
against illegal employment and to pro-
tect the interests of the minor"
The most important requirements OF
the child labor laws are outlined brief
ly as follows: DO NOT employ a minor
at any occupation without first OBJ
tanning an Age Certificate from the
Division of Labor. DO NOT offer EN-
ployment to a minor less than 16 years
Of age when it is known that the oc
cupation will require work around
machinery. DO NOT employ a minor
less than Is years of age at extra
hazardous work local mining, explo
sives, ringers, certain occupation ir
sawmills, etc.). DO NOT employ 9
minor less than 16 years Of age during
the hours that school is in session
without written permission from thu
local school superintendent becaus,
an Age Certificate will not be ISSUED
by the Division Of Labor unless proc
is at hand that the minor has com
rleted the Sth grade of schooling.

to look at the actual profit rec-
ord of the food monopolies.
According to the Commerce
department the industries proc
essing food and kindred prod
ucts upped their profits before
taxes 213G from 1910 to 1916.
Their profits after taxes shot
up 1885,.
The 1874, profit take of the food
monopolies is much greater than last
wear. The National City Bank OF New
York reports that % leading food prod
uct corporations in the first half OF
this year made SOC more profits after
taxes than in the same period last
wear. The profit grab will be even
larger during the second halt OF l94'
due to the sharp price increases OF
the past three months.
Senator Flanders dusts off the old
gag that the food corporations only
make a profit In pennies. A couple
Of pennies on a quart OF milk. a penny
or 90 on q pound of hamburger. a
half-penny on a loaf OF bread. and so
on down the list OF a family's food
basket.
The answer to this is that billions
Of pennies add up to exorbitant prof
its. Back in 1920 the Federal Trade
Commission in an investigation OF the
p~rofiteering practices OF the meat
packing trust exploded the penny
profit hoax in the following refuta-
ton:
THE packers make use Of the words
cent, fraction of a cent only a few
cents in the knowledge that the
public regards a cent as a very small
element OF value This practice
obscures the real facts as to profits,
A profit OF a cent per unit, far
from being a small profit. may be an
exorbitant profit"
What the ETC said 81 years ago is
true today. The exorbitant profits OF
the food monopolies show up in what
they are making on their net worth
Invested capital plus surplus. Be-
fore the war a return on net worth
Of 5 to Sc was considered a fair
profit. This year the food corpora
tions according to the National City
Bank are making a rate Of return on
their net worth Of 21ct.
This %profiteering grab Of the food
trusts has raised retail food prices
400 since price control was destroyed
The nations grocery bill has beer
raised $40 billion a year, about SIS {

Lawyers Guild Attacks
Clark Subversive LIST
AS Menace 10 Liberty

The National Lawyers Guild last
night sharply criticized the Attor-
ney Generals listing of subverslve
organizations to be used in the Fed
eral loyalty program as "a menace to
the liberty of the American peo-
pie"
THE organizations listed have
not been confronted with the 'evl-
dence' against them; there has been
no hearing, no opportunity for the
organizations to present their case,
no impartial tribunal or representa-
tive citizens to determine the issue, y
the guild charged.
The statement, issued by Robert
j. Silberstein, executive secretary OF
the Guild, declared that the organ
izations "have been branded on the
basis of standards which are vague,
indefinite and necessarily subjec-
tive"
The Guild said: IF these organ
izations, or their leaders, have done
anything unlawful it is the Attorney
Generals duty to prosecute them,
instead Of listing them. Since they
are not prosecuted it is to be as
sumed that they are thus branded
for unlawful activity. Yet the At
torney General can wreck almost
any organization by listing it as
subversive, due to the great pres
tige of his Office
At the same time, the Guild

our views as friend of the court, at
the first appropriate opportunity
when the loyalty executive order is
tested on constitutional grounds"
In New York, the International
Workers Order, Inc, one of the
organizations listed by Mr.. Clark
as subversive, announced yesterday
that 1t will initiate legal action
against what it termed "attempts
at character assassination"
The organization, in statement
signed by Rockwell Kent, president;
Representative Marcantonio, Amer
ican Labor Party of New York, vice
president, and other officers, as
serted that the TWO will meet this
irresponsible attack and will fight
back with every means at its dis
posal to protect its integrity ano
security"
1t was not made clear whether
the TWO will seek to test the con-
stitutionality of the loyalty order,
or whether it will take other legal
action to remove its name from the
list.
The Lawyers Guild was not on the
Attorney Generals list it criticized
but was named by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
in 1914 as a Communist front Or
ganization. It entered a quicl
denial.
