CENTRAL COUNCIL NOTES

"A communication a received u McGraW aSkng the Council
to request Congress to make a full study of unemployment, using war
time methods of ascertaning conditions and then making a mathematical
adjustment of the problem IS outlined in a previous article appearing in
the Labor News. The request was granted and a like request will be made
to the State Federation of Labor.
Pete Connors reported for the Legislative Committee This committee
has advanced a plan that is ne of the best ever presented. Each candi
date asking for the support of Labor will be presented with a QUESTIONABLE
regarding his stand on Labor problems. This the candidate must fill out
and sign before Labor will endorse his candidacy. If the present candi-
dates for office will not sign, Labor will put up its own candidates rs indie
pendents. The plan of the committee is to secure the written pledge of the
candidates to help Labor, rather than rely on verbal promises that have,
too often, been forgotten and denied once the candidate has been elected.
<
Glenn Burkhardt was elected delegate from the Central Council to the
State Federation convention, and Frank Krabler was elected alternate.
Joe Motari, a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Tranmen, from
Great Falls, addressed the Council. He stated that during the past nine
years there has been a IS per cent decrease in employment m the rail-
roads, and a 8 per cent increase in tonnage At present about go per cent
of the Railroaders are unemployed. The unions are fighting to have the
pension age limit for ralroaders reduced from 70 to go years of age. This
would provide a 20 per cent increase in employment.
Mr.. Motari is a candidate for the office of railroad commissioner. He
stated that this office was one of the most important to Labor, as this
commission controls the price of almost everything the worker buys. In
seeking office, Brother Moari pledges himself to the support Of the
workers. He stated that the railroads have NJ valuation for taxation and
another that they present to the Commission when the rates are set.
Motari states that fl he is elected the taxation figures will be those upon
which all rates will be based.
After this enightening address on conditions in the railroad game, the
meeting adjourned.

Practically, if not all, cassificatons under u Compensation Act the
insurance companies are charging the employers from onefourh to one
half as much again as the state does under plan No 3 and the injured
workmen, who worked for employers eectng the insurance plan, are e
ceivng less than onehaf the compensation paid injured wokmen who
work for employers electng to come under the state plan.
Benefits to Employer, Empoye and State Fund.
While charging employers a much smaller rate and paying workmen NOR
Accident Fund, under plan No. 3, the state plan, has an accumulated surplus
over the 15-year period from July l. 1915, to June 80, 1880, as quoted:
Industrial Accident Fund 21Sy41217
Industrial Reserve Fund 4SO7s449
Registered Warrants 796797
Total Cash and Invested Funds ~s724,17965"
These rates and figures are authentic and conclusively show that not only
is the state plan No 8 beneficial to the employer and the employee but
that the surplus of S724,17965 now belongs to the State of Montana and
its people, especially and particularly including the employers who have
paid the money to build this enormous reserve If all employers were to
operate under the state plan No. 3, there is no question but what the
reduction by the state, in the rates now charged. The surplus made by
the insurance companies, under the exhorbtant rates charged by them,
has left Montana never to be returned, and will never mean a reduction in
rates as long as the legislature allows the to plans to exist The people
of Montana should direct and instruct their representatives in the leghla-
ganized labor in the state of Montana should go on record requesting abot-
ton of the insurance plan No. !, and secure for themselves and their m
ployers not only a saving in premium charges and compensation benefits
but a adequate state fund that in the end will NEAR nothing more than a
reduction in premium charges or al increase in compensation benefits.
Why Accuse Jurors?
The juies of Butte cannot be accused of causing these high rates charged
an injured workmen, under the act, is note entitled to a jury trial whether
before the Industrial Accident Board, the District Court, Oh the Supreme
Court. 1t is farer to criticize the wrongdoer than those who bend every
effort to mete ut justice, especially when ne has 10 years Of data to
back his statements. "A. G. SHONE.

Washington, Dec 29.-(UP)--A proposal to give President-elect Roosevelt wide powers to rcorgan- ize the federal government on an economy basis will be rushed through the present congress. ac- cording to plans today of house and senate democratic leaders.
 Speaker of the House Garner said he hoped the presert sesaion tveotlf 2 ssSes proper to grant very broad powers, for consolidation and elimination" of government bu-' reaus.
 Chairman Byrns of the house ap-I propriations committee later rec vealed that he conferred with sen-l ate leaders, and that the move would be ssaade with fti5ek united: support of the democratic crganiSa ton. M ' n
 Byrns indicated he expected. the first definite move to come from the senate.
 He said he thought an attempts would be made there to give the incoming president blanket au-s thority for reorganization" through an amendment to one of the later regular appropriation bills.
 As Ia second move for greater economy, : Speaker Garner and Byrns will attempt to secure ape proval of a resolution repeating alt so-called "permanent and inden- nite appropriations except inter.N est payments on the public debts.
 At present, Garner explained, this group of appropriations is not. under the control of congress, but carried on from year to year with- out specific approval. Democratic leaders expect. upon examination of this type of expenditure. to find economies which may mount to- hundreds of millions of dollars.
 It was understood the reorgani- zation amendment would apply only to the incoming administra- ton, although 1t will be passed be. fore President Hoover leaves of. flee.
 The chief executive now has some limited powers toward con- s0lidation, but all are subject to the specific approval of congress. A reorganization plan submitted by MT Hoover is at present pending. but is expected to be defeated when brought before the house.
