The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-09-23

Ossining, NY, Sept. Is, 1919
Mr.. Harry L. Billings,
Editor, The Peoples Voice
Helena, Montana
Dear Harry,
I've been thinking of writing to
you about our local political climate
ever since the riots. When mob vio-
lence breaks out anywhere it is i'm
portant to understand how people
get that way.
Thanks to the popularity of "South
Pacific" we are all pretty familiar
with most of the score through the
radio but there is one little song
which the radio seems to find unfit
for popular consumption. 1t is
called Carefully Taught" and it's
theme is the necessity to teach kids
to hate and fear before it is too late
late rhyming with eight. They
have to be taught to hate and fear
those who are different in shape and
color and all those whom their rela-
tives hate.
This song explains riots about as
well as they can be explained. With
the enforcement officers of this
county and state solemnly reporting
to their executive in the state house
that it was all the fault of those bad
teenagers, it would certainly seem
that the kids in this part of the world
have had some careful teaching.
Encouragement to Lawlessness
One of the worst aspects of the
whole sorry business was this de-
basement of youth-first to encour-
age them to take the law into their
hands and then to pass the buck to
them for the responsibility for the
breach of peace.
One eyewitness from behind the
veterans lines reported in an article
in the New York Post Home News,
8:
81 got one, Nominal screamed
girl excitedly. The
momma got one too. We ducked
behind some trees so we wouldn't get
hit by the rocks which bounced off
the cars"
The same reporter heard IAN. eld-
erly woman cackle at a friend, No,
| won't call my day wasted if | just
get one of themp"
I've felt earth tremors in Montana
and it seemed to me that they pre-
sented a sort of ultimate in insecur-

and many other cities, too.
A float was put into the parade
of the Union Day Celebration in
Anaconda, with about 100 others
that were prepared for children.
That was big day.
Results are hard to estimate. One
thing is outstanding. Many union
members of the state got awakened
and stood up to be counted Many
others went far with lot of effort
to promote Labor Day, Label Week
and other features.
The checkup of printing and read
ing matter was rather extensive.
Library lists were checked which re-
vealed that several public library
purchases included four times as
many national magazines that were
non-union as union. That means
that about 75% to $3.50 of the read
ing matter in public libraries is non
union 1t is worse than that with
books.
That is most important, while
reading and political propaganda are
so mixed up it is hard to learn who
is who, and what is true M. A.

ANACONDA LABOR COUNCIL REVIEWS RESULTS OF ITS
1919 UNION Label CAMPAIGN

Here's a report of Union Label
Week, Sept. 2-9, 1949. Anaconda
Central Labor Council Committee
for Union Label tried what should
have been done by the state organi-
alton (Which did not do much).
We sent more than 500 letters to
unions all over the state, and sent a
lot of answers to correspondence be-
sides. These letters conveyed the
idea of promoting Union Label week.
Two radio addresses were prepared
and delivered. One by L. NJ Orn-
burn who was on a 15-minute ma
tional hookup and came over Butte
station KNOW. That station is weak
in areas west of Butte, so another
was prepared for KAMA, Anaconda.
The first Is minutes was Monday,
and was heard in other parts of the
state. The last at 6:45 Saturday
night was prepared and delivered by
NJ. A. Cromwell in Commute pro-
gram.
Advertising was carried in Mon
Jana IaDor papers anu Spot announce
mentS over station KAMA.
Indirect and direct results were an
awakening of other unions of Mon
tana to have their own label activity.
Over 1000 pieces of literature
were distributed by Anaconda Cen
trail Council, to promote label recog-
milton.
Placards were put up in Anaconda

| enclose various clippings from
the local paper and some which you
may not have from the New York
press. My husband got one "eyewit-
ness" story from the conductor on
his train Monday morning. This
man was walking home from work
along street in Peekskill miles from
the scene of the concert. He said
that screaming woman hurled pota-
toes at him from her porch. Since
he was obviously a member of the
white, gentle majority, wearing the
uniform of the N. Y. Central Rail-
road, this behavior should illustrate
the insanity of mob violence as well
as any, The mob may be rational

to the eyewitness account in the Post,

fears of the men operating it for
their own safety.

Zone must also consider how Paul
Robson got that way What has
Robson been carefully taught? and
by whom?
Paul Robeson-American
Any issue of WHO'S WHO IN
AMERICA will give an outline of
Robeson's career - unless the later
issues have become self conscious
about him. The facts are that Paul
Robson, while he was student at
Rutgers university, took top honors
in scholastics and was chosen as an
All American athlete. Later his
scholastic record at the Columbia
Law School led to some embarrass-
ment in one of New York's leading
law firms. The head of this firm
makes a practice of taking the top
man of each class at Columbia into
his firm for a years apprenticeship.
One year he was confronted with
such scholar in Paul Robson. Mr..
Robson was taken into the firm but
when he overheard a stenographer
tearfully telling the boss that she
found herself unable to take dicta-
ton from a man who's skin was
darker than hers, he put on his hat
and walked out of the law business.
Thereafter he became one of Amer
ica's finest singers as well as one of
her finest actors. Thus Mr.. Robson
became, in turn, distinguished fig
f,, 70 fi0Idc of
deavor What were his rewards?
Well, I've heard it argued that he
should be grateful to our sway of
life" because it allowed him to make
a good living singing and acting. But
Mr.. Robson feels that he has earned
first class citizenship and this has al
ways been denied him.
| feel that if his critics could, for
even moment, imagine themselves
in his shoes, they would understand
that to Negro first class citizenship
is the prime requisite in any democ-
racy. The Al Capones of America
are first class citizens until they are
put behind bars in penitentiary,
but the Paul Robesons, no matter
how great their contribution to the
society in which they live, are denied
their full rights as citizens.
| believe that Mr.. Robson oper-
ates on a more emotional level in
his political thinking than he should,
,. but certainly the Peeksa1illers were
operating on much more emotional
level that Sunday. / believe that
Mr.. Robeson's desire to see his peo-
pie achieve their rights as citizens
of democracy leads him to blind
himself to violations of personal lib
erty which the Russian hierarchy
But the artificially in
spired and nourished hates of small
minded people blind them to the fact
that in throwing rocks at Robson
and the people who went to hear him
sing they were throwing rocks at the
foundations of their own liberties.

CAROLINE BRAMMER.
