Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers ADVERTISEMENTS Help Strike the Chains Off Our Newspapers ODAY a mighty effort is being made to create a "FREE PRESS in America. Competition is being of- fered to the newspapers which are the tools of the financial kings. The workers are getting together to cre- ate and own their own newspapers, free to TELL THE TRUTH. It is the greatest movement for liberty and de- mocracy since the American revolution. A Free Press Service is just as badly needed as free newspapers. The press associations heretofore existing have been serving the kind of news the Kept Press want- ed. Newspapers which want to serve the people must have a national and international press service whose aim also is to serve the people. To fill this need THE FEDERATED PRESS has been formed. Its creation is the result of a conference of editors of working-class newspapers, who aim to rid their newspapers of dependence on the news dispatches of the existing associations. Already it has made great strides. It has established bureaus with able editors and cor- respondents in Chicago, Washington and New York. Its general offices are at 156 West Washington street, Chicago, Ill. It has its correspondents in all the large cities of the country, all of them alert for the true stories on industrial and political questions which are falsified or suppressed by other agencies. It has made arrange- ments also for cables and correspondence from Europe. It has a large list of member publications, including several important dailies now being published-and others soon to appear. THE FEDERATED PRESS is strictly a business proposition. It is co-operative and non-profitmaking. It has as the chairman of its executive board, Robert M. Buck, editor of the New Majority, which is published by the Chicago Federation of Labor and is the official organ of the American Labor party. Other members of this board are E. B. Ault, editor of the Seattle Union Record; W. B. Hilton, editor of Majority, at Wheeling, W. Va.; R. B. Smith, editor of the Butte Daily Bulletin, Butte, Mont.; J. Deutelbaum, editor of the Detroit Labor News; Joseph Schlossberg, editor of the Advance, the official organ of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers of America; Herbert E. Gaston of the Minnesota Daily Star, and F. J. Schwanz of the Worker, Fort Wayne, Ind. The ex- ecutive head of the organization is. E. J. Costello, for seven years an editor and staff correspondent of the Associated Press and more recently news editor of the Chicago Herald. The business manager is Louis P. Lochner, a publicist of note and until recently editor of the International Labor News Service of New York. You, Mr. Free American, Can Help With This Job You need the Federated Press even more than you need a free newspaper in your own community. If you have such a free news- paper you need the Federated Press to furnish the truth to your newspaper. It is as essential to your newspaper as an honest and able editor. . The Federated Press executive board has authorized a bond issue of $100,000 to take care of the initial expenses of its devel- opment and you are urged to buy as many of these bonds as you can. They are issued in denominations of $25 each, redeemable at the expiration of five years from date of issue, at the rate of interest of 6 per cent per annum. Interest coupons are attached payable to you in cash on February 1 of each year. Please fill out the application and send to the treasurer. Herbert E. Gaston, Treasurer, the Federated Press, 201 Daily Star Bldg., Minneapolis, Minn. The undersigned applies for ................ bonds of the Federated Press, of the denomination of $25.00 each, and encloses herewith (check) (money order) payable to the Federated Press, in payment therefor. Bringing the Sea to the Northwest (Continued from page 5) hauls and congested traffic. Then there are the terminal interests in Chicago, Buffalo, New York City and other Atlantic ports. Back of them are the huge real estate interests in these cities, and back of them their banks, the big banks of the country that con- stitute what is known as the money trust. The whole East that counts in Washington would be against the proj- ect. The West has been a tributary province to the East. The East sup- .plies the transportation, the credit, the manufactures, the rules regulat- ing business. It takes from the West in payment for these services most of the food which it consumes and the surplus that makes millionaires and billionaires of those who preside over the exchange. Ocean traffic right to the door of the Northwest would mean independence, and that is just what Wall street does not want any more than the Twin Cities or Duluth like to see North Dakota becoming econom- ically independent. STATE-OWNED TERMINAL ELEVATORS WILL HELP By the time the project is finished several northwestern states wunder farmer-labor rule would probably be ready to put state-owned terminal el- evators at the head of the Lakes, to finance their grain trade with state- owned central banks, to have packing houses ready to dress meats for Eu- rope, and to have miils grinding ex- port flour. It does not take much im- agination to see Northwest farm prod- ucts reaching Europe without being touched by a profit-seeking interest and the savings thus made distribut- ed among the men who actually pro- duce the goods. Considerable of the exports of Australia already reach Europe in this fashion. The. Northwest should realize that it is further from the sea than any other section of the world of any con- sequence exporting agricultural prod- ucts. Its soil may be the best in the world and its farmers the most enter- prising in the world. But there is a point beyond which rail transportation eats up these advantages and it pays the buyer to go elsewhere. The European buyer asks only: What is the quality and hew much is the price? The producer that expects him to buy must give him a little bet- ter terms than he can get otherwise. Our Northwest must solve the trans- portation problem if it is to,keep up its foreign trade. NEWS FROM MONTANA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Pros- pects are good for a crop out here in Montana. If the farmers get a crop it means success for the Nonpartisan league, as Leaguers have-been behind with their dues. I know a good many- who have missed taking the Leader because they coul’ not pay up. We will need quite a campaign fund, but to get up with the Republican par- ty is impossible; $10,000,000 for them is easy, collected overnight. We are getting a lot of help on ac- count of the Montana Loyalty league. It is making many Nonpartisans. People who have been opposed to the League are getting in line right and left. Besides tLis the old political parties had some bad warnings from the labor victories in the last city elections in Havre, Miles City, Living- ston and St Paul. - If everything goes as it looks now we will win the big victory next fall.
