About 600 workers in the big
six-story building fed when the
fire broke out about $3.50 am, set
ting off the automatic sprinkler
system alarm. Most of the en-

all, were permitted to resume
their duties at $50 am.
The building. with nearly 10
acres of floor space, is fireproof.
That fact prevented the fire from
spreading. but gave flremen a
problem in getting to the sealed

Wearing air filter masks, they

2,000 Spectators on Hand.
Two Fire Department rescue
squads, aided by hospital ambu-

about 1000 spectators, finding
little spectacular in the fire itself,
watched as the firemen, some on
stretchers and others propped
against the building. were treated
by Fire Surgeon William D.

Among those overcome were

furious at a Baltimore printing
firm today when he learned a
17-year-old employe got too much
to drink at the company's S

"This is not the right way to

declared the magistrate.
Before him on an intoXication
charge was Albert j. Ryan.
Patrolman Leslie Scrivens found
Mr.. Ryan lying unconscious in a
downtown side street last night
and sent him to the station in a
patrol wagon. His parents came
after him but he was too drunk
to be removed from the jail.
"Your employers are as much
to blame as you are" said the
magistrate.
"As a Christian. you are nearing
the most important holiday of
your faith. 1t was wrong for your
employer to give you enough drink
to make you drunk

Montana Labor Supply Tightening Up

"Full employment in June poses
stating and recruitment problem
for Montana employing units seek
ing expanded operations during re-
naming summer MONTHS" said M.
Joe Miller, chairman of the states
unemployment commission in the
monthly review of state labor mar
ket conditions. "While there are
more than 1000 jobseekers listed
with our employment service offices,
the cold fact is that many of these
are inexperienced youths and As per
cent of the number are women"
NEARLY all skilled and experienced
men and women in age brackets Fl
TO As are already employed, Miller
continued, "and further expansion
of the working forces will require
such emergency devices as up-grad-
ing with existing staffs, substitution
of women and youths for work in
which they are qualified-thus re-
leasing more experienced workers
or more eXacting tasks-and modifi-
cation of stating patterns to per-
mil greater use of inexperienced
workers, women, average workers,
the handicapped, and minority
groups"
Virtually Complete Employment
Describing the full employment
status in June, Miller said that most
local offices of the service report

Federal Food & Drug Act
Should Be Strengthened
Bv MILDRED OLDENRURG. ire

BY MILDRED OLDENBURG, Trego
The American consumer purchases a
loaf of bread or a can of salmon, or
even a package of chewing gum, in
complete confidence that these prod
uctS contain no harmful and poison
Gus ingredients This confidence is
engendered not by trust in the integ-
rity of food professors; it is for the
most part a feeling, if not knowl-
edge, that somewhere along the line
an omniscent, omnipresent and omni-
potent government" is watching out
for the interests and the health of it's
children. AS matter of fact, if the
contents of the S7S-page Hearings
Before the House Select Committee
to Investigate the Use of Chemicals in
Food Products were known to the
general public it would find much to
disturb this wonderful confidence
True, the public is protected for the
most part, from the abuses that were
so rampant before the passage of the
food and drug act in 1906. If you are
old enough you may remember water
ed milk, butter made from oleomar-
garine colored with carrot juice and
mixed with a little real butter; glu-
cose syrup sold for honey; roast wheat
rye, oats or chicory sold as coffee.
But far more wicked than mere adul-
teration was the use of chemicals to
restore spoiled foods to a Semblance
of wholesomeness; coal tar dyes and
artificial flavoring added to rotten
apples made fine jams and jellies;
pumpkin rind and apple parings could
be made into tomato catSup; rotten
eggs could be deodorized with formal
dehyde and sold to bakers. A can of
of fish could produce ptomane poi
soning or death and there was neither
protection nor recourse for the con-
sumner.
Though these abuses have been con-
trolled, during the past decade an
other danger has arisen. The chemical
industry in our country has made
giant strides, and in the process has
synthesized literally hundreds of new
chemicals. These have been and are
being introduced into everyday food
products particularly bakery goods,
soft drinks, peanut butter, and salad
dressing, despite the fact that at the
present time the toxic effect of most of
them is unknown. Moreover, testi-
mony shows that many are KNOWN
to be poisonous yet are being added
to foods and drinks. The sad fact is
that under our present laws, food man
ufacturers and professors can use
chemicals of unknown effect as pre-
servatives, anti-oxidants, fungistatic
agents, insecticides, without prior
proof of their safety to humans. Ac-

A Report On the Peoples
Congress For Peace
BY HOBART McKEAN, Circle

Because l was one of the Montana
delegation who attended the Peace
Congress in Chicago, June 30, 80 and
July |, 1T is my great privilege to re-
port TO those less fortunate. 1t is also
very solemn and important obliga-
ton to report this great meeting be-
cause of the shameful and dangerous
state of public information. This is
a grave indictment of our So-called
free" press and other institutions of
communication and information and
is not here made lightly or facetiously
The treatment accorded this great con-
gress by press, radio and other such
media is absolute proof of nv indict-
ment.
only in nation determined to build
great war machine in order to domin-
ate the greater part of the modern
world is Peace considered subversive
1t seems perfectly logical to people
propagandized to such an end, that
Peace is to be obtained by force and
military might If the will of those
VINO represent aggregated wealth and
economic power is to be imposed upon
the millions of exploited people whose
toll and deprivation have contributed
TO this mighty accumulation, it must
De done with armies, navieS and in
the most modern sense, planes loaded
with unSpeakable murder devices
Since the common people of this
country, and indeed the common people
OF all nations, do not want war and
nave no wish to control the business
or markets of the world, it becomes
necessary to fill their hearts with hat
red and fear that they can be lead
dumbly to the slaughter for the glory
OF privilege and profit I need not
go into detail to show you how our
sources of public information are do
ing this odious job. 1t is part of nv
oDllgatlon to tell you the truth about
TINS great mass gathering to work for
Peace because the press, radio, etc.. de-
Ilberately lied and deceived the people
FIRST, the crime of omission was
committed. Nothing is more effective
than silence in the treatment of i'm
portant events for obviously, people
cannot learn of things if the press
radio, ETC., choose to give them the ST.
lent treatment. 1t is a most peculiar
KIND of freedom that our free" nress
ETC., exercises in a situation of this
KIND. This is the safest of all proDa-
ganda techniques and was generally
USED In this instance. 1t is also most
effective.
The Chicago papers could hardly es-
cape some mention of the congress. so
they had small accounts buried on
pages 3, IL or other inaccessible pages
In one of these writeups in a Chicago
paper, 1t was mentioned that the Coli
scum was decorated with flags and a

ployment ever recorded in the state.
1t is more than 10000 above the
number employed last March.
This high level of employment is
in face of manpower out-migration
to armament industries and Undue
tions into the armed forces. 1t
means that Montana industrial en-
ployers have already started scrap
ing the barrel.
Breakdown of the estimates of
June employment into major indust-
rial divisions and subdivisions re-
veals that lumber and logging crews
increased over the previous month
by 300, food processing, 200, con-
tract construction, 400, transporta-
ton, 400, utilities, 200, wholesale
trade 200, retail trade 800, hotels,
camps and rooming houses 900. This
last represents the stating of ia
,cilities to care for summer tourist
business.
A More Satisfactory Wage Scale
Might Solve Miner Problem
"The supply of handbook miners
for the metal industry" Miller said,
sis one of the crucial labor supply
problems. Extensive nation wide
recruitment of experienced miners
has barely kept the supply level.
Projected expansion of the miner
force has not yet been attained. The
number employed actually dropped
100 in June to 100, due to heavy
out-migration from mine tunnels to
outdoor work for the summer. En-
ployment on commercial building
construction and new homes also de-
clined in June, partly due to restric-
ton on materials and credits"

SENATE TO VOTE AUGUST
8 ON BASING POINT

Washington, D. c. GINS = The
senate has decided to hold limited
debate August 2 and vote August 3
on the highly-controversial S. TIC,
commonly known as the basing point
bill.
Meanwhile a parallel measure, HI
R 1920, has come before the house
where a subcommitte of the House
Judiciary committee will hold public
hearings July II through IS. These
hearings were consented to only af-
ter small business, farm and labor
groups had diverted attempts of con-
gressional spokesman to pass the
measure quietly.
The issue was brought before the
senate last week by Sen. Russell
Long Cd. La.) who spanked an all
day debate. Long said: 81 was very
much surprised to find that no sena-
tor rose to argue in favor of the
bill; and also that hearings on the
bill were denied, when not only gro
GERS, but wholesalers, druggists, tire
dealers, and filling station opera
tors requested to be heard"
The bill, Long pointed out, would
make it complete defense to a
charge of discrimination in prices or
services or facilities furnished, for
the seller to show that his differential
in prices or furnishing of greater
services or facilities was made in
GOOD FAITH to meet the equally
low price of all the equally extensive
services or facilities furnished by
competitor"
According to Sen. Paul Douglas
d., ILL.,, '"This bill would not only
repeal the Robinson-Pa Altman Act but
. it would also legalize the So
called basing point system"
A Federal Trade Commission
source told GINS that if the meas
ure passes it would be a "worse
threat to co-operatives over the
country than any attack by the Ma
tional Tax Equality Association"
He said the measure would permit
large chain stores and giant COR
porations to put the cooperative
movement out of business.

DOUGLAS, hill, URGE 'TlDELANDS' OIL MONEY
De USED FOR EDUCATION

bills have been introduced giving
ownership rights to states, while 9TH
ers would favor ownership by the
federal government.
Douglas said, ''The people are wor-
ried about the financial crisis in
which American education is now
placed. They do not have to be told
twice that our schools are overcrowd-
ed and that there are not enough
teachers. Every father and mother
is beginning to worry about the
kind of education their children are
getting. On the other hand, school
taxes are burdensome But if the
American people know that a large
part of their huge educational bill
can be financed without any cost to
them, out of money which rightfully
belongs to them, know they will
support our amendment"
Hill described the off-shore oil
"as our heaven-sent oppor-
tunity to save American education"
and declared: 81 think that the Par
Associations, the School
Teachers associations, the state uni
versities, and private colleges and
the high school principals will get
out and work hard for this bill when
they understand it."
