My "Two-Bit's Worth"
BY LEVERNE HAMILTON,
Thompson Falls

Now we learn from the October
bulletin of the AFL Building and Con-
struction Trades Dept. that labor is
wondering if we are to be fooled
again
Well, from what I have seen of la
Dor and labor'S leaders in the past I
would say that even the most simple
minded student of political activities
could answer that question with one
three letter word.
The bulletin appears with a bitter
blast at Truman and his administration
accusing them of not wanting the Taft
Hartley law repealed. Well, what did
they expect? AS long as labor organi-
cations meekly accept such laws and
by their observance of them signify
their acceptance, they need have little
hope that a group of politicians, inter-
ested principally in retaining their Of
fices will give anything but lip service
to labor's requests or mild demands
that the laws be repealed.
The bulletin article is Illuminating
for the information it contains and the
conclusions it draws particularly i'm
portant since it is published under the
direction of Dept. Secretary Treasurer
Joseph d. KEENAN, who during the last
election was the head of Labor's League
for Political Educa ton, which gave
strong support to the Democratic party.
KEENAN, says, We have been driven to
the point of desperation by lack of any
move on the part of the administration
FOR repeal of Taft Hartley. Taft-Hart-
ley is operating to drive our unions
nto bankruptcy. We must do something
% get the law repealed
And now listen to what the bulletin !

built in Moscow, on Ford Models of 10
years ago Detroit cannot compete; taxes
are too high. New cars are piling up in
Detroit. Workmen are being laid Off.
The drain on our oil reserves has
increased. The British Navy runs on
oil. This came from Iran We must
now provide it. Our gasoline is costly.
1t will rise in price. Let Britain face
starvation. She will then scrap her
Navy; make Admirals captains of Mer-
chant ships.
In six years since the bomb in Maya
saki,-no use yet of Atomic power in
the arts of peace, though Soviets used
it for a blast in changing a North
flowing river to water some millions
of acres of dry land near the Caspian
salt sea.
1t is hard to get a spendthrift to
change. We are shooting the resources
of our grandchildren into the Abyss
of War.
Our gold is used only to make Gold
Star Mothers.

God save the mark) fear to take 'po-
litical action there still remains an
other way. If sixteen million organized
workers went on A GENERAL STRIKE
for the repeal of Taft-Hartley all the
troops that we are now sending to
useless war across the Pacific could
not prevent the repeal of that vicious
law. If our national labor leadership
had the CUTS of new born mouse
and the desire TO do it. il could be done.
have personally seen the threat of
a general strike bring an appropria-
ton back to the Montana Legislature
and | have no hesitation in saying that
7 believe it could be done on a ma
tional scale as well.
All well, it seems that our national
leadership is still Green at politics, or
maybe it's just over-ripe.

proposes to do. Experience in England
and France should warn against the
| formation of an Independent labor party
+. it is doubtful if the policy of elect
our friends and defeat our enemies
would be effective next year 1t sug-
gests that perhaps solid support of the
Republicans could serve to wake up
the Democratic party. 1t would force
the Democrats to respect us and after
four years we would then be in very
advantageous position to obtain our
demands
We Gods and little fishes! Such a
brilliant suggestion, coming from
man who last election was head of
Labor's League for Political Educa-
ton. Methinks the gentlemen needs
some political education himself.
There are approximately sixteen mill
lion of organized workers in this ma
ton not to mention those unorganized
but sympathetic to labor's demands.
There are approximately eight million
organized farmers in America and these
two groups along with their families
and friends make up over fifty per
cent of our voting population, and yet
our labor leaders fear to establish an
Independent labor party In preference
they prefer to give solid support to the
Republican party whose only an

A Crime Against Prosperity
By LOWNDEs MAURY, Butte

BY LOWNDES MAURY, Butte
Pericles said Not in our gold, not il
our ships, but in our men, lies the
glory of Athens.
When a big nation wages a long and
unprovoked and about war, such as
is now being waged in Korea, there
are dark, dreary human effects. Young
men forced to kill from the air civili-
an men, women and children lose the
Christian feeling of the worth and
sacredness of life of their fellow
men.
Never will I again give dime to
send to, or sustain a Christian Mis-
sionary in the Orient. In one hand we
carry the Gospels of the Prince of
Peace; in the other we carried Atom
bombs to Japanese Christians in Maya
saki, tanks, battle, murder, sudden
death to South and North Korea, a
little helpless people once happy in
their civilization of 1000 years.
This war has killed or manned u.s.
600 of our best and bravest young
Americans. The end is not in sight.
Their blood is lost to our ethnic or
racial stream.
War breeds corruption of public Of
ficials at home. A psychology grows
up The money is all being wasted any
way why not get a share of it, Thus
while the Civil War was going on, the
priceless heritage the public lands of
United States, were given away to
railroad schemers. OF course, brides
for congressman are incidents of such
grants. The Northern Pacific, Union
Pacific, and other land grants stem
from our Civil War. When Jefferson
bought the priceless Louisiana Pur-
chase, $4,000 square miles, for SIS mill
lion. Congress gave jefferson a fund
Of So million to bribe Talleyrand and
other Frenchmen, probably part to
Napoleon himself, to get the bargain. |
jefferson did not hold out; he died |
insOlvent.
There was never before a vast land |
50 rich in natural resources as ours
was. With careful cutting the forests
would have been renewed for all time
Z hey We're slashed away to make a
few millionaires.
The iron deposits of Minnesota and
Alabama We're rated 'inexhaustible'
At the present rate of depletion, they
will soon be gone. We will be looking
for iron in Labrador and Brazil; Swed-
ish and British iron deposits have
been worked more sensibly. They NAV
produce after ours are gone Most of
our steel is wasted in war shipping.

Sulphur is the base of chemica

| AS the old woman said when she
sheared the pig, There is a loud squeal,
but not much wool in this plan. These
loans are usually meagre, worthless,
little stimulants for worked out de-
posits. Some good could be done if
zinc mill and smelter were built in the
Philipsburg District. The corruption
and inefficiency of public servants con-
nected with milling work is appalling.

the plant for millions of dollars. War
breeds corruption. Metals Reserve Com
pany was a branch of Reconstruction

of which, under Harley Hise, have made
the headlines for months. AS one of
Mouat's attorneys, I wrote Hise about
the wrecking at Mouat before it had
gone far. He sent a nasty letter back.
We have gotten judgments, of course,
for Mouat,-but that does not pay back
the vast loss to the Government-to |
enrich local spoilers.

Consumer Debts Going Up

Another result of the ''watered
down. control bill passed by Con-
eress last summer was disclosed in
a report of the Federal Reserve
Board last week. The board said
that ''installment credit" which
means the money owed by consum-
ers on articles purchased "on time"
rose sharply in September for the
second straight month.
Total of such debts rose by SIP
million to reach total of more than
$13 billion.
