Almost Is years have past since
that appraisal was written about the
man who today is the Democratic
nominee for First District Congress-
man.
Metcalf, now Al, has served his
state as an assistant Attorney Gen
eral; his country as an enlisted man
in the European Theatre of World
War II, and is presently completing a
six-year term as an Associate Justice
on the State Supreme Court
His record in the years since he
served in the legislature has con-
tinued to reaffirm the Labor News
appraisal of 1888:
Montana does need the services
of more men like Lee Metcalf
in the Congress of these United
Statesi
How would Lee Metcalf vote on
issues of Importance to the Ameri-
can people if he is elected to Con-
gress November 4? Would he be for
or against American workers? For or
against more equitable taxation? For
or against adequate overall develop
ment of natural resources? For or
against legislation designed to curb
or stamp out nationwide criminal
syndicates?
Following the political axiom that
GA record is better than thousand
promises" let us go briefly over
Judge Metcalf's record of service
since he first entered public life
more than Is years ago:

"Bonneville's Labor Relations"
prepared several years ago by
Alexander Christie, consultant to
the Senate Labor Committee, of
which Sen. James E. Murray is
chairman.
Speaking of Senator Murray's eff
forts to secure top labor-manage-
ment relations with public power
developments, 7 h o mps n also
stated that "Sen. Murray has been
kind enough to send Mr.. Christie
to us many times recently to in
vestigate some deplorable and cor
rupt practices on other properties
where we have not been as fortu-
nate as with Bonneville. Because
of the cooperation of Sen. Muir
ray and Mr.. Christie, substantial
corrections are being made"
Following many months of nego-
tiations, the Bureau of Reclamation
has finally signed contract with
the IBEW covering Bureau cleo
trical workers in Region 6, which
provides increase in wage rates and
other benefits to the workers. This
includes Montana.

friends saw what they were like in

Mr.. Lindberg also gave a very
good description of labor legislation
as it exists in Denmark today. He
told of laws requiring g. weeks va

employers in Denmark are sub
iect to prosecution and fine for moi
covering their employees under Den
marks workman's compensation act
which is compulsory for all EN-.
ployes." This is part of statement
by Kai Lindberg, Copenhagen, Sec
retary-general of the Danish Fedora
ton of Labor, in explaining Den
marks workman's compensation law.
"It has never happened in Den
mark" stated Mr.. Lindberg," that an
employer refused to cover his en-
ployes with workman's compensation
:. :" To this remark, Ingvard Dahl,
president of Danish Carpenters I'm
ion, added, owe wouldn't work for an
employer who did not carry work

These remarks were made last
Saturday in the Governors Recep-
ton Room at the State Capitol dur
ing a panel discussion between Dan
ish labor leaders and Montana labor
leaders and various state officials.
DANISH DELEGATION
Besides Mr.. Lindberg, who acted
as chief spokesman for the Danish
delegation, and Mr.. Dahl, other Danish
labor leaders participating were:
Erling Dinesen, president of Dan
ish Shop Assistants and Clerks Union
and member of Executive Board of
Danish Federation of Labor; Christian
Larsen, president of Danish Laborer's
union, member of the Danish Pro-
ductivity Council and of the Execu-
tive Board of the Danish Federation
of Labor; Peter Madsen, president
of Union of Danish Railwaymen and

several sets of receivers which fitted

MONTANA DELEGATION
Members of the Montana dele
grafton consisted of the following:
w. C. Blanchette, representing
Gov. John w. Bonner; Charles V.
Huppe, first assistant to attorney
general Arnold H. Olsen; Baxter Lar
son, chairman of the Montana In
dustrial Accident Board; M. Joe Mil
Ter, chairman of the Montana unem-

Montana Federation of Labor, and
Alfred Dougherty, Helena attorney.
The Danish delegation arrived in
the United States about six months
ago and have been touring this coun-
try talking to labor leaders all over
the nation. Montana was the last
stop before they took plane for New
York City to attend the American
Federation of Labor convention. At
ter the convention they will return
to their native land.
Glen G. Hallam, Billings, presi-
dent of the Montana council, Ameri-
can Federation of State, County and
Employees, acted as chair
man of the panel. In explaining why
the Danes were in this country he
stated, "Their visit here is part of the
fight against the cold war. They are
here to see for themselves what the
U. S. is really like"
DANES IGNORE COMMUNISTS
In commenting on Communism in
Denmark, Mr.. Lindberg stated that
there are no laws nor have there
been any introduced in the Danish
parliament to outlaw the Communist
party. They feel that to do this would
only make martyrs of the communists
and aid their propaganda. They just
recognize them and ignore them. He
explained that in the Danish parlia-
nent in 1916 there were 10 COM
nunists seated. Today there are only
seven. The reason for so many after
he war was because many had worked

Derides Republican
Attack on Humor

When he reached this point,
I thought that the Republican
leadership could have no alter
native but to file a petition in
Intellectual bankruptcy. But I
underestimated them. This week
my distinguished opponent has
succeeded in flushing out a new
issue. After long filled
sessions and tense high strategy
meetings, the Republicans high
command has finally decided
what the great issue of the cam
palgn is. To my considerable
surprise, they are now saying
that the central issue of our
time is "humor."
I need not add that the Re-
publican leadership is against
1t.
For myself, I cannot think it
a hldeous offense to believe that
the American people have a
sense OF humor. Many of you
IN this crowd will remember
that great political leader of a
generation ago-Al Smith. We
used to call AL Smith "the Hap
py Warrior in fact, he was
given this name by another
happy warrior - Franklin d.
Roosevelt.

you will find that even Republi-
can leaders once enjoyed a joke.
In the midst of the terrible
years of the Civil War, Abra-
ham Lincoln said of humor: IF

Cromwell! Reference
Puzzles Governor

The generals line about
humor goes far to explain his
remark last week end about
Oliver Cromwell. I found nv
self considerably puzzled when
he announced that Oliver Crom-
well is going to be the model
for his great crusade. Why
l asked myself-should the gen.
eral have chosen Oliver Crom-
well as his hero? It obviously
could not be because Cromwell
sent his Roundheads on a
bloody crusade against the peo-
pie of Ireland with religious
persecution. starvation and the
sword as his weapons. It could
not be because Cromwell led
his army into the House of
Commons to seize control by
force of the Parliament of Eng
land. But now I think I know
why the general admires Oliver
Cromwell. Whatever else you
may say about Cromwell, you
can never accuse him of having
cracked a joke.
Well, suppose we should
not be too critical. After all in
the last few days he has chosen
to surround himself almost en-
tirely with the old guard of the
Republican Party. And that
certainly is no laughing matter.
Although I must say-judging
by the pictures-Senator Taft
seemed vastly entertained by
their recent conversation i'll New
York. I have never seen such
a contented smile since the cat
swallowed the canary.

took careful note of how vague

AccIoims Truman
As World Leader

The American people have not
had any doubts about the direc-
ton of Democratic leadership.
We have not blown hot and cold
on farm legislation. (Actually.
I have an uneasy feeling that
the man standing next to me on
the Democratic farm plank is
the general himself) We have
not had to keep changing our
mind on whether or not we think
the labor movement is here to
stay. We have not kicked the
consumer one moment and
kissed her the next.
Democratic administrations
have produced the great social
reforms of our era. The Dem
ocratic Party can be trusted to
stand by these reforms. We
will extend and complete them.
We will defend these reforms
against all those humorless souls
who haven't been happy since
the days of William Mckinley.
And we will defend these re-
forms-and this free society Of
ours-against those on the ex-
treme left, the admirers of
Lenin and Stain, who would
bind us all to the service of an
omnipotent and all powerful
state.

Invites Republicans
To Join His Party

I am glad to note that not
all the crusaders who marched
up that hill against Taft so
gallantly last spring are pre-
pared to follow their leader in
his inglorious retreat. Some of
them have already decided that
there must be a better way Of
fighting reaction and isolation
ism than by signing up on SEN
ator Taft's dotted line.
Let me say to the good Re-
publicans of New England that
there is always warm welcome
awaiting you in the Democratic
party. We know how to make
people feel at home. That is
why we win.
Let me further say that If I
am elected in November I will
be a President and not the hon.
orary head of a regency.
To those who are worried
about the confusion and reac-
ton of the Republican high
command, / call attention to
the solid. consistent and for
ward-looking program of the
Democratic Party. You all
know how this country has been
transformed in. the last 90 years.
The Democratic Party took over
when the Nation was almost in
state of receivership in 1888.
Fortunately, we had a great and
revered leader-Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Under his leadership, the
Democratic Party dedicated it
self to improving opportunity
and security for all our citizens.
In the last 20 years we have re-
stored and reconstructed the
Nation. Where there was once
poverty there is now prosperity.
Where there was once anxiety.
there is now security. Where
there was once discrimination,
there is now opportunity.
