The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1948-11-12

Kelley shaft Ito answer Mr. Kelley's vanity,
ever appear in any Butte, Helena, or Billings
daily paper Even the wrecking by War
Assets Administration of the greatest chrome
plant in the United States, e million dollars),
the Mouat mine, SO miles south of Column
bus, though saddening, would be interesting
to Montana folks. 1t gets the silent treat
ment
It costs no more to haul clean carded
WOOL than dirty, raw WOOL no more to haul
high grade ore, or concentrates, than low
grade.
Public interest would be aroused to learn
that the sheepmen, starting carding plant,
would gain nothing. The higher freight rate
would beat him at that game. The miner
gains little by diligently selecting his ore,
so far freight rates are concerned. The
company papers favor the railroads Wall
Street owns both.
Fifteen months ago, congress enacted a
premium price plan. It, if it had not been
vetoed would have helped hundred small
miners in Montana. The secretary of the
Montana Mining Association, headquarters
Butte sent telegram to the President say
ing that "Only the North Butte Company in
Butte was interested in the plan" Mr.. Tru-
man vetoed the plan.
This shut down many small mines; also
the North Butte. Three hundred men of
North Butte, of course, went to work for
Anaconda. The latter's labor shortage was
bettered. Every mining man in Montana
would have been interested to know who sent
that telegram, and who, if any one, told him
to send it. The Peoples Voice is the only
paper in the state that gave this out.
Consequently, if you want to know the big
or true news in Montana, subscribe to The
Peoples Voice today. In college slang, it is
must" reading.
The senatorial candidate for "God and
Motherhood" lost the election with company
newspaper support If, by chance, this
Christmas the same press praises Santa Claus,
do not let it turn you against the Jolly Old
Fellow. He may not have asked any such
help.

A LESSON IN JOURNALISM
By LOWNDES MAURY

In spite of the number of followers of
Governor Dewey, shown by 95 per cent
of the newspapers, the Gallup and other
silly polls, and the millions Of adherents Of
President Truman, proven by the election, 1
still claim that Santa Claus has more friends,
and less enemies, than either of the recent
candidates. He has run successfully,-yes
unopposed, for 500 years. Yet, while nation
ally, the Old Saint can hold his place against
any body, the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT press is it
self so unpopular, and so little trusted where
ever it is read that if the Billings Gazette,
the Helena - forget the name), the Mon
tana Standard, Muscular, etc, put on a ser
ious campaign with banner headlines in favor
of the children's perennial patron saint, such
an alliance might locally cost the old fellow
an election.
This nadir in public disbelief and disgust
has not been quickly attained. For many
years the natural efforts of many smart,
fairly liberal, journalists in company service,
have been censored and choked by biased
jealous, narrow-minded Company lawyers.
Recalls Censorship of Justice Douglas 49,.
For instance, Mr. T. B. Weir is head of
the Helena newspaper,-the name of which
[ forget and which is not worth looking up.
This is the same Mr.. Weir, who, at the recent
meeting of the State Bar association, pre-
vented the speech of Mr.. Justice Douglas OF
the us. Supreme Court from going over the
radio because he is great liberal Judge, and
Mr.. Weir is small town, short-sighted, CAPT
talist lawyer.
Mr. j. C. Darlington, Missoula counsel for
Montana Power Company, can doubtless pre-
vent the Muscular from headlning "That
four months after Pearl Harbor, the Stand
ard Oil was sending oil to a South American
port for re-delivery to Germany" Yet, such
items interest the public.
The Montana Bar association for 40 years
has been run by insurance company and cor
poration lawyers. Mr. Darlington was elect
ed it's president at the meeting which snoth-
cred the Douglas address. 1t is not possible
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1948-11-12

for newspaper to do it's duty by it's sub
scrbers give them return for their money,
tell them of events of interest in the world,
under such guidance.
Finally, the assumedly dumb public wakes
up. AS Dewey's campaign managers real
lied November 3rd, there are not so many
gullble Americans as they estimated.
The Butte papers employ some able edi-
tors journalists, reporters. But all realize
that their jobs depend on not publishing any,
thing that the A.C.M., Montana Power, legal
department does not relish.
But, Not A Word In ACM Press
Some years ago. an entire section of
Butte, about 700 feet wide, 5000 feet long,
was undermined to an extent that residences,
churches, apartment houses, stores, school
buildings, became dangerous for occupancy
smaller calamity in a Pennsylvania coal
town merited an article in Golfers of i'm
mense national circulation. Every resident
of, and visitor to, Butte saw the Butte calam-
ity. The fact that no mention was made of
it in the Butte papers convinced every one
in Southwestern Montana that these sheets
they were paying for performed no public
function; that they were mere proponents of
false propaganda
One old colored woman got verdict for
$4,000 for the ruin of her little home, but
the circuit Court on Appeals reversed that
one lone verdict, and charged $1,275.67 costs
against her.
The State Bar Association is company con-
trolled, but fair majority of those lawyers
that boycott the meetings are Independent,
and of both moral and mental courage.
Against these, the corporation lawyers have
ill-will and jealousy. The legal profession is
a power for public opinion. The Press can
mould opinion quicker, but the lawyers do
a better job if given time. For years there
has been a rule that no matter how startling
the case an outside lawyer is trying, his name
shall not appeal in a company paper Of the
