LocalLivingston sends in #2.00^to the special organizing fund and^an order for campaign coupon books.
Alocal with 18 charter members^has been organized at Kendall by^Comrade Hazlett.
IdaCrouch-Hazlett will work in^Helena and vicinity during the^state fair after that a few dates will^be made in Broadwater county.
Alarge number of letters are be^^ing received from the western and^northen parts of the state as to^when Comrade Hazlett will visit^that territory. To all such in^^quiries we will say, that owing to^the constant demands being made^for more dates from Comrade Haz^^lett in the territory she is working^in, makes it impossible to make^dates far in advance.
IdaCrouch-Hazlett will remain^in Montana at least six months yet,^and it is the intention to have her^cover all sections of the state be^^fore leaving.

receivedfrom unorganized districts^for speakers and from places that^have never had a visit from a Socia^^list speaker.

inon.There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found^among millions of working people and the few, who make up the em^^ploying class, have all the good things of life.
Theworking class and the employing class have nothing in com-^Between these two classes a struggle must go on until all the toil^^ers come together on the political, as well as on the industrial field,^and take and hold that which they produce by their labor through^an economic organization of the working class without affiliation with^any political party.
Therapid gathering of wealth and the centering of the manage^^ment of industries into fewer and fewer hands make the trades unions^unable to cope with the ever-growing power of the employing class,^because the trades .unions foster a state of things which allows one set^of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same^industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage-wars. The^trades unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the^belief that the working class have interests in common with their^employers.
Thesesad conditions can be changed and the interests of the^working class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way^that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries, if neces^^sary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department^thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all.
Thereforewe, the working class, unite under the following
