WPA Battles Monster Causing Heaviest
Crop Damages In History Of Montana

lon and Dawson north to the Ca
madam line and west to the Rockies
had considerable FERA poison on
hand. This had been supplied in
the drouth summer of 1884. With
amounts varying from 200 up to
1900 bags of old poison in these
counties, the WPA provided man
power for remixing and repulveriz-
ing the FERA bait, to gain an UNI
expected advantage in its ammuni-
ton supply.
By July, the monster was meeting
opposition on a far-flung front. Man
had moved fast and was attempting
to control as much of the 1000 900
acres of severely damaged range
land as possible, at the same time
saving good crops from destruction.
While crews of WPA clients toiled
at mixing the bran, sawdust, arsenic
and molasses which constituted am
munition, other crew were busy
distributing it to strategic points in
each county. Here it was trans
ferred to farmers and stockmen who
in turn quickly dispatched their own
forces to spread the poison where
it would do the most good. Gener-
ally under the WPA program, once
the ammunition was made available
to the farmer, he became an auxil-
larry force, carrying the battle on
from there.
Although handled under emergen-
cy pressure, bait was distributed to
effect great good. More efforts were
made to save existing crops than
to methodically exterminate insect
hordes on every acre of infested
land. Hundreds of acres were re-
corded where insects were moving
into fields Of wheat, beets, hay, and
other crops, threatening total de-
struction, but where these crops
were saved through concerted poi
soning efforts. In emergency cases,
and in places where acute infesta-
ton on public lands were found to
be concentration points from which
insects moving in on privately
owned fields, crews of relief work
ers were called upon to spread poi
son. When mormon crickets unex-
pectedly appeared to add to the
serious menace of grasshoppers in
many sections, WPA workers were
assigned directly battling them.
Next year, as a result of this sea-
sons activities the WPA expects to
handle another project, which looms
as the means for decisively defeat
ing the monster who has destroyed
so much.

Details of Emergency Cam
paign carried on by WPA
in FL counties reported by
State Supervisor
By Michael Kennedy

In a valiant attempt to halt the
ravages of the worst insect infesta-
tation ever to invade Montana, a
crucial battle has been waged this
summer between man and the mon
ster. Unlike most campaigns, no
attempt was made to determine the
victorious force this season. Man
admitted defeat at the start.
Hastily recruited, it was hoped
that the man army this season would
be able to salvage a portion of al
ready drouth- blighted crops, pre-
venting total devastation in a war
zone which covered more than half
of Montana's 10000 square miles.
Today, as the result Of a survey just
completed by the Mo .tana Works
Progress Administration which
marshalled the forces and supplied
a major part of the ammunition-it
appears that this has been achieved
and that man, in the end, will emerge
victorious over the monster.
Under the Works Progress Adj
ministration, through nine county
projects providently drawn up be-
fore the emergency, and then through
a special emergency grant of $4,000
for statewide control-which was
speedily secured in Washington by
State Administrator Joseph E. Par
ker, after the warning was sounded
at the first state drouth conference
this spring, an effective battle has
been waged. Where 100000 acres
are now estimated as having been
badly damaged by insects, reports
indicate this figure might have been
doubled except for this campaign.
Approximately 2,000,0 900 pounds of
bran for mixing into poisoned bait
has been supplied by the WPA. All
of this except a small portion which
still remains to be used for early fall
poisoning of infested winter wheat
has been used. Hundreds of WPA
workers employed at the peak of
the program, which operated in Is
counties, attempted to cover as much
of the infested areas as time and
funds would permit.
In addition to the bran supplied
by the WPA, Raymond Robbins,
WPA supervisor in charge of the
program, in early manoeuvers dis

GOVERNMENT IS
FIRING MEMBERS
OF The FEDERATION

The existence of an anti-union pol
icy in Mr. Hoover's Federal Bureau
of Investigation has been revealed
here as the result of recent charges
made against officials of the Bureau
of Justice Lodge 81 of the American
Federation of Government Employ
ees, an affiliate of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Recent issues of
the official bulletin of the Lodge
carry stories of virtual sweatshop
working conditions in the Finger
print Section of the Bureau, of the
forced designations of eight employ
ees because of their union activity
and of the refusal of Bureau officials
either to recognize or to meet with
union committees in regard to the
adjustment of grievances. These
policies, it is pointed out by the LODI
ge, are not only inconsistent with
the customary practices of most gov
eminent agencies, but are also in
violation of the sentiment of numer-
GUS resolutions passed by Congress,
sanetioning the unionization of gov
eminent employees.
The ostensbile reason of "inoffici-
ency" for which these men were dis
missed appears baseless, in view of
the fact that just a little over a week
before their designations, they had
all received their regular efficiency
reports of Good" Bureau officials
have also failed to explain the coin
cidence that the eight most "ineffici-
ent' members of a staff of well over
a hundred men were among the most
active union members.
AS evidence of the deplorable
working conditions in the Finger
print Section, the Lodge bulletin
cites the seventy per cent turnover
of personnel since the beginning OF
the year, the regular practices of I'M
compensated overtime, and numer-
GUS petty tyrannies and hardships
imposed upon the personnel.
Requests by the union for an i'm
partial investigation of both the dis
missal of these eight employees, and
of general personnel policies of the
Bureau have thus far been refused
by both Mr.. Hoover and Attorney
General Cummings Of the Depart
ment of Justice.
The paramount issue involved, ac-
cording to the union organ, is "the
right of government employees tc
organize and to carry on legitimate
union activities without obstruction
or interferences by administrative
officials; to secure the redress o.
grievances through action of the I'm
ion"
