A newspaper fills a v^ry conspicuous niche in
life of a community. One of the purposes of this pa
per is to a«!vertise Plentywood and Sherblan county.
It is doubtful if any merchant in Plentywood woubl
deny that any medium which brings people to this city
is a boon to 'heir business, no matter what line they
may be in. Every fair, circus, ball game, celebration,
convention tournament etc. is given free publicity by

gets th«! b«*nefits in dollars and cents when the visitor
to Plentywoo«l goes about the city on a shopping tour
ami visits the various mercantile houses purchasing
supplies.
This is where the merchant who refuses to advertise
because he thinks it does not pay, takes advantage of
the merchant who patronizes his home paper to grub
off any business which may come to him through the
efforts of the live business man. He is willing to take
what the other fellow hands him, provi«led it costs
him nothing and will calmly fol«l his hamis behind his
back ami inform the newspaper man who solicits his
establishment for advertising that it «loes not pay to
advertise even after that newspaper has been largely
insrumental in bringing the people to the city through
advertising the various events. In other words the
non-advertising merchant is making a share of his liv
ing off the efforts of other business men who are
giving time and money to keep an advertising medium
In the shape «»f a newspaper in their midst.
Of course if you would accuse the non-advertising
merchant of taking advantage of the up-todate store
keeper's progressive efforts, he would wax indignant.
Nevertheless it is a fact, and while, of course, the live
merchant gets the bulk of the trade because he lets
people know what he has to offer and that he appre
ciates their business, the "deu«l" merchant calmly tells
the world that it does not pay to ailvertise or cannot
afford it even though right at the time, he is deriving
bem'fit from the advertising of "others".

BANK ROBBERS AND MINE
DISASTERS
By SCOTT NEARING, Federated Press
197 coal miners at Mather, Pa., pai«l with their lives
for the failure of the coal operators to take ade«juate
precautions against mine explosion.
Suppose 197 Texas hanks ha«l been robbed! We all
know the answer.
The Tegas Assn, has offered a reward
$5000 for a bank robber, alive or «lead. Vigilantes
armed with rifles patrol the towns and if the informa
tion from Texas may be believe«! killing "bank rob
bers" at $5000 per head has become a prosperous buss
ness.
Suppose 197 American mine managers were to lose
their lives in Nicaragua. We all know the answer.
One mine manager was reported kidnaped when two
American properties were seized by Sandino.
press from coast to coast reported the episode in big
type. U. S. marine columns moved into the territory
from three different directions. The force of the U. S.
government was called into play. As it turned out the
mine manager had not been kidnaped after all.
Suppose 197 missionaries had been killed by unruly
soldiers during the Chinese civil war! We all know
the answer.
The papers spread streaming headlines across the
front page when one missionary loses his life.
At Nanking in 1927 a dozen American citizens were
in danger on Socony Hill, in the Standard Oil build
ings. U. S. war vessels bombarded the city. The
whole nation was stirred to fever heat, yet through
the entire episode only 2 Americans were killed.
Bankers, mine managers and missionaries all belong
in the ruling class. If the members of the U. S. rul
ing class have learned nothihg else they have learned
that "an injury to one is an injury to all". Miners be
long in the working class. They are hired help to the
rulers.
Mine «lisasters are commonplace affairs. In the
United States each year more than 2000 miners are
killed on the job. Mining is considered a dangerous
trade. We are in the habit of paying 2000 lives each
year for the coal the United States consumes.
Miners do not fight back. Their union is practicing
class peace. Thetr leaders are busy explaining that
the interests of the mine owner and the mine worker
are common interests.
If the Pennsylvania miners were as militant and as
aggressive as the Texas bankers they would offer
$5000 for any mine owner, alive or dead, who has had
a fatal explosion in his mine.
Would squads of armed miners be permitted to hunt
through the towns, picking off mine owners on sight
and turning in their carcasses at $6000 per carcass?
And if they did? Within a fortnight the leaders of
the miners movement would be on their way to the
penitentiary and the masses of miners would be look
ing straight into the eye of a blanket injunction that
would forbid them even to think bad thoughts about
the bosses.
Things being as they are, the bankers of Texas are
ready for their next bank robber, and the miners are
ready for their next mine disaster.

ous, a minor role.
He was employed by Merrick and Company because of
their l«*ng association in the "wrecking crew," and is
under the spell of Merrick. He is a harmless fellow
trying to get along in the world, regardless where he
finds himself. He is, of course, regarded by Merrick
and Company as a sound proposition from their stand
point. Merrick was responsible for his post.

of the fact that he knows nothing about bonds.
This made it possible for Cass and Merrick to manipu
late the bond «lepartment to suit their own sweet end.
Moreover, in case of an eventuality, (and in the bond
tue
department there are unlimited possibilities) it wou!3
be asy to make Rada the goat, on the theory "that lie
duln't know better".
In connection with Mr. Ra«ia, it may edify the rail
men to know, that in the great shopmen's strike of
1922, when the heroic strikers were resisting the reduc
tion of the size of their loaf of bread, Ra«lu scabbed on
them in the shops at Marmouth, North Dakota,
is, undoubtedly, one phase of labor banking that cer
tainly hobls no good to the rail organizations.
This
MR. George D. Brewer
He was the official loud speaker ami bellyho artist
for Cass, Merrick ami Company. He preaches the gos
pel of "conme on you suckers."
He is a member of a rail organization. He became
i«lentifie«i with the "wrecking crew" at its birth, to
gether with the little Napoleon of Democracy, Waler
Thomas Mills, who also knows a thing or two about
the formation of fake co-operatives.
George D. Brewer has a very colorful political and
business history. He was a Socialist for a long time.
In fact, he once wrote a brochure on Socialism which
was permeated with the ideas of populism. He ex
pounded Socialism, to the best of his lights, until we
got into the war. Then he quit and landed a soft
berth with the "wrecking crew" in North Dakota.
Brewer was closely associated with the old Appep :
to Reason. His wife as in the circulation department
of that paper for a long time. It was George D.
Brewer who conducted Eugene V. Debs' tours about
the country. He was, for many years, while it was
profitable, Debs' advance agent. In 1908 Brewer tour
e«l the country with Debs in the historic "Red Special.''
These were the days of cream and honey for the com
mercialized agents of the defunct Socialist party.
However, in 1920, when Debs was a candidate for
presnlent and in the Atlanta penitentiary for his po
litical opinions, Brewer deserted Debs as lecturer for
the Nonpartisan League in the state of Minnesota, he
refused to advocate the candidacy of Debs, undoubtedly
because it was disrespecable and unprofitable to do so,
and, as he said at the time, "would lose votes for the
ticket."
Everybody who knows Brewer is cognizant of the
fact that he is incapable of sustaining any set of work
ing-class political and economic principles; that in this
respect he is a chameleon adapting himself to the
commercial possibilities of any given workers' move
ment.
Around 1920 he sold quite a bit of oil stock to farm
ers and workers of Minnesota. He had a well located
somewhere in Texas. That well has not yet produced
anything for the people who put their money into it
save the loss of their money, which represented hard
toil and family privations to save it. It was this deal
that defeated him for congress in 1924, in the state
of Minnesota. The farmers and workers were mad
about it, to say the least.
In 1922 he was an active party to the "balance of
power" fraud of A. C. Townley. This was an attempt
on the part of Townley to submerge the Farmer-La
bor party of Minnesota into the dead Democratic party
of that state. He was Townley's "outside man" in this
move. But they were blocked in their performance by
the Red elements of the state as w ehave noted.
Brewer poses on the Pacific Coast as an expert on
co-operatives. Well, he most assuredly is, but of
certain type of "co-operatives:", as we shall hasten to
expense
a
show; the kind that enriches the few at the
of the many.
Some time in 1922 he organized, in conjunction with
his friends, the "Economy Fuel Company Co-operative"
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This firm was to save the
consumers of coal, moeny on their bills, a very praise
worthy effort indeed.
However, this company was a
sucker company for another firm that Geo. D. Brewer
organized. It was the "Prairie States Fuel Company
dealer in wholesale coal and coke,
treasurer of the last company, and a member of the
board of directors of the former,
companies were situated at the same address:
Summer Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
He left Minneapolis for the Pacific Coast in No
vember 1924. It was a response to the call of his
fuend H. A. Merrick, who needed

Brewer's mission in the organization is to conciliate

swing the state federations of labor for the Cass-Mer

for the gentleman named. It was his duty to keep his
finger on the pulse of the labor men, with regard to
their moods toward Cass and Merrick in the general
evolution of things. He is admiably adapted

The commission shows graphically
how the railroads have been speeding
up freight carmen. In a chart it trac
es month by month from January
1924 to December 1927 the hours
worked by these car repair men col
lectively per 1000 freight train car
miles. As a result of the speeding
up shown in this chart the railroads
reduced the average number of
freight carmen from 91,064 in 1924
to 80,026 in 1927 in spite of consider
able increase in traffic. This is typi
cal throughout the industry, particu
larly in shop work. More production
with fewer workers is the rule in rail
roading as in manufacture.
1927 also reflects the increasing me
chaniaation of agriculture. It shows
that sales of farm equipment for use
in the United States totaled $390,
M8.707 i. « c-M

"Tie large increases in the output
