The harbor situation was

close the port if its rival, the old

ready to seal the port, in such
an event. until the lila is for

Yesterday the lila filed its
own complaint with the NLRB,
charging unfair labor practices

ANDERSON NEEDED IN CONGRESS- TO

Neither the wheat farmers no1

break the farmer program" said
Willard Fraser, Billings businessman,
in speaking in behalf of Leroy An
derson at a Democratic rally in Bel
fry.
Actually, Benson's position seems
untenable," Fraser continued, when
one considers his Sliding parity pro-
gram, when during the last election
campaign, his Boss promised 100
per cent parity program. Benson's
actions are only proving what so
many of US thought during the 1852
election campaign, and that is that his
Boss neither knew nor understood
the meaning of parity-nor the prob
lens of the American farmer.
"The Democratic parity farm price
program" Fraser told his audience,
"has been one of the cheapest aids
to prosperity America has ever wit
messed. To date, it has cost us on an

average just thirty-five cents a year
per person-and that's cheap insur-
ance in any political or economic
language.
"And not only are the farmers of
Montana concerned, but so is every
thinking businessman, especially when
one considers that not less than 60
per cent of the dollars that ring
through the cash registers of east
ern Montana businessmen come di-
rectly from the farm.
That is why am supporting
Leroy Anderson, and why every
one interested in maintaining farm
and business prosperity must and
will vote for a Congressman who
will support the Democrat farm
program-and that man is Leroy
