says Gillespie. "This the company has
refused to do. They are insisting that
this is solely their prerogative.
The old union contract protected
members who did not wish to work
a sixth day, particularly married
women who used the week end to
catch up on household chores. Kraft
insisted on eliminating the 40 hour
safeguards. Gwen though the union
has presented systematic method of
recruiting Saturday workers b y
Thursday evening, the company will
not listen to this" Gillespie laments.
OUT THREE WEEKS
Holiday pay was also at issue in
negotiations.
Intervention by the Central States
Conference of Transfers (AFL) did
not settle the dispute but did lend
regional backing to the Kraft en-
ployes. They have been off the job
since November IL, when they went
out with the sanction of the Enterna-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers
(AFL).

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
| The 20 smallest counties in Montana
according to the 1850 census,-and
having just a bare majority in the
Montana State Senate,-have a com
blned population of 10S,397. The largest
TWO counties of Montana yellowstone
and Cascade) having $3.50 of the Mon
tana State Senate, have a combined
population of O8,S92-or 485 more
than those counties having a bare ma
Jorlty of all state senator's!
A county of a state is not comparable
to state to the nation. One branch
OF state Legislature is motor is not
supposed to be-comparable to the
structure of the U. S. Senate! Montana
is supposed to be the u. S. Constitu-
Republican" State
of Montana, not the United Counties of
Montana a la United States of America!
county is not a substate or state
Within-a- Estate! Nowhere in the U. S.
Constitution is the federal government
called "a republic" or inundated to be
Republican in form"
Deputies to the U. S. Constitutional
Convention in Philadelphia in 1887,
representing two thirds of all Ameri-
cans then, tried to make America a
republic but the most they got was 2
semi-republic. But that semi-republic
was to guarantee Republican mess to
the states. By their very words, all
leading U. S. Constitutional Convention
deputies or delegates-such as Hamil-
tom Franklin, Madison-implied re-
publican-ness to mean complete pro-
portionateness in population as to leg
islative representation!
The completely un-republican Con-
gress of the Confederation took that
concept in its famous ordinance of 1887,
and this concept was continued by the
First Congress under the then new,
Constitution when it repassed the Ordi-
nance of 1887 on August Z, 1882

Remington Murder Outrages
Circle Man
Continued From Last Week.


This terrible social disease of anti
Communism, ill-wind that it certainly
is, yet blows some small good by acct
dent Even the loWly, despised Negro
may conceivably find favor and for
tune if he, or she, choose to become a
paid informer or. political and intellec-
tua1 prostitute. In this nefarious field
the Negro has already proven himself
superior to the white people. The paid
informers and intellectual prostitutes
are predominantly white of skin. MY
respects to the Negro. Let Judas be
white if he will.
Let us not overlook the implications
of this lynching Of Mr.. Remington. The
respectable the pious the genteel who
are the supremacists of our society,
want all the advantages of this su-
premacy without burdens of RESPONSE
bility commensurate with these adYan-
tages AS the real rulers they cannot
escape this responsibility. They pre-
pare the crime which the criminal only
commits. They certainly prepared the
climate of thought, which is the real
motive behind the lynching of Mr..
Remington. McCarthyism is only one
of the cruder tools, often deplored, but
always necessary when lynch law is
needed to replace regular law In the
guise of saving Americanism and JUS
tice, this unjust and lawless means is
justified. The means used shall prede-
termine the end attained, which must
be Fascism.
There is no escape except through
arousing the people. The avenues for
this necessary and laudable endeavor
are already closed. Let doubling
Thomases try. 1t is hard indeed, to free
slaves from chains that they revere! 1t
is hard to be a Paul Revere, now that
the horse days are gone. Our present
climate of thinking and culture is more
suitable to a Lady Godiva ride.-HO-

ISOLATION today is strengthened with
the return of the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen (Ind.).
The union had withdrawn in 1850
over a disagreement now resolved.
RLEA, organized in 1926, is now
made up of the top officers of 10
unions representing over 100000
railway workers, mostly nonoperat-

Questions Law On
Job Agency Fees

In past sessions the Montana T,episIa.
ture has from time to time passed laws
that were no doubt intended for tbe
benefit of the myriads of wage earners
IN the state. space Limitation prevents
spectre reference but there is a law
on the statute books of the state of
Montana that very clearly SAYS no
private employment agency shall he
permitted to charge more than the
sum of three dollars for obtaining en-
ployment situations for people.
But here in Billings, if not elsewhere
in Montana, private agencies are flour
ishing in an atmosphere of affIuent
ability-eXpanded Offices ex-
tensiVe newspaper advertising, etc
presumably on the theory that avoid
ing the letter of the law is more or less
simply convenient Interpretation Of
said law that fits the expediencies and
purposes of the interlopers.
For years it has been a common prac-
tice for private employment agencies
in Billings to charge such exorbitant
fees as from twenty to forty per cent
of the first months wages for securing
jobs for applicants. This ostensible
subterfuge is established, [ am told,
by the rather simple process of the
agency entering into a separate con-
tractual agreement with the applicant,
thus legally" obligating the applicant
to make the prescribed payment at the
agreed time
have been advised by certain gentle
men of the law that in their opinion

Can U. S. Hold Japan?

The question is not: can u. S. hold"'
but How long can we hold Japan in
the Western Bloc?" Z. S. spent millions
Of dollars, with more than hundred
and thirty thousand in the war in
Korea to gain questionable asset,
while Japan made a big profit out
of it, without losing a man. Now the
situation is wholly different. Japan
has to import most of her raw material,
and is only self sufficient in tea and
silk She depends on Kamchatka Bay
for her algae. fish and clans; on Siberia
for her fur and timber. She depends
mostly on China for her rice, cotton
and coal.
she can get coal from China for
inst what the cost of the freight would
he from United States. AS most of
Japan's raw material necessarily must
come from Russia or Communist China,
if the blockade was raised, she could
do a profitable business there on
complimentary, not a competitive basis.
AS Japan can produce manufactured
goods cheaper than any nation on
earth, she could find ready market
for them on the continent, if trade
restrictions were raised. This trade is
essential especially to Japan, and
comes as natural as water-running-
down-hill Since only seventeen per
cent of Japan can be cultivated, her
very life depends on manufacture and
trade. To restrict Japanese trade with
her legitimate customers is apt to
boomerang, and is a shortsighted poll
cy. What's needed is: Less blockade,
not more blockade.-A. E. ANDERSON,
Butte.
