TAX REDUCTIONS
AFFECT RURAL
TEACHERS WAGES

From a comparison of the figures
of the assessed valuation of all prop
erty owned by public utilities in Sill
ver Bow County, it was discovered
that a reduction has been made by
the State Board of Equalization for
the Milwaukee Railroad from ST.
458, ITO in 1885 to $1,30O,530 in 1886.
It was also noticed that the assess
ment against the Oregon Short Line
Railroad was reduced from $1,063,-
469 in 1885 to $1,019, 1859 in 1886.
There were quite a number of other
reductions including a slight reduc-
ton for the Mountain States Tele-
phone and Postal Telegraph Com
pany.
The vital results of these reduc-
tons is in its effect upon the salaries
of the school teachers in certain
rural districts in this county, espe-
cially at Feeley, Divide and Ramsey.
Most OF the school money IN the
rural school districts comes from
railroad taxes and the reductions
given to the railroads seriously r
tail this revenue, in fact it leopard
ICES the salary of the teachers in
these districts. While it is true that
the assessed valuation of all public
utilities in Silver Bow County is
$1,361 more in 1886 than it was in
1888, still the railroad reductions in
this particular instance, though
slight, is serious.
If the people r interested in
these figures and would like to know
more about it, they are requested
to communicate with the Montana
Labor News.

co. UNIONS

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Carne-
gie-Illinois Steel has flung its COM
pany union into the refuse heap and
adopted genuine collective bargain
ing, according to a statement to the
National Labor Relations Board by
VIM. Baye, attorney for the concern.
Beye read the statement of the
company into the record as the
board met to consider the complaint
filed against the huge U. S. Steel Co.
subsidiaries charging the company
with dominating and interfering
with the rights of its employees to
organize.
The statement pledged the COM
pany to refrain from all forms of
interference with any labor organ
ization, withdraw financial support
from and disband the company UNI
ion, and post notices of its action on
all bulletin boards of its plant.

MURRAY
PLEDGES SUPPORT
TO COURT PLAN

Senator Murray has just an
nounced that he will support Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his plan to re-
organize the Supreme Court of the
United States and the lower federal
branches. Senator Murray's decid-
ed stand in behalf of the President
is welcome news to organized labor
and in fact to all the liberal minded
people of the whole state, who Wis
ualize in the efforts of President
Roosevelt concerning the court, an
effort to unpack it from some of its
outmoded members. The unequi-
vocal and straightforward attitude
of Senator Murray is another in
stance of the many benefits which
he has conferred upon the working
people during the short time that he
has been in the national chamber.
Montana's junior Senator is MAX
ing an enviable record as a liberal
and is building that reputation on
such a quiet but firm foundation
that many of labor's national organ
izations are now looking to him as
a leader.

UNION MEMBERS
ARE ASKED TO BUY
UNI0N-MADE CANDY
Brown and Haley Co.
Are Fair to Labor

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council has been notified again that
the Bakery and Confectioners Union
of Tacoma have organized the
Brown and Haley Candy Company
and that products of this company
r fair. That organized labor is
becoming more conscious of the
value of the union label is evidenced
IN many ways, but much more work
is needed. However, in the case of
Brown and Haley, the people should
buy this product. Members of or
gained labor, their wives and
friends and families, when buying
candy, should demand that it bear
the union label.
For years it was impossible to Sc
cure candy bearing the union label
that had been shipped in here. Butte
had its W candy plant at one time
which put out union-made products,
but as in many other similar in
stances, either through lack of edu-
cation or other causes, the union
people did not give it their whole
hearted support.
At the present time the products
of the Gamer Candy Company of
Butte are union made, also the can
dies manufactured in several other
shops.

Huge Profits in
iiaIIment Financing

ne growth of installment credit
may or may not be a good thing
from the point of view of longer
economic stability" says an article
in the Magazine of Wall Street
(4-10), 'but it is a good thing for
the installment finance companies
and involves an even smaller ele-
ment of risk for them than is pres
ent in most other kinds of enter
prise. Their fixed capital invest
ment is insignificant. They have no
labor problem They do not have
to speculate in raw materials" (Our
emphasis-LRA).
The enormous profits made out of
the installment selling business are
illustrated by the companies spe-
cializing in the financing of automo-
bile purchases. Note what the main
companies involved in this business
cleaned up last year, compared with
their pickings even in the boom year,
1929:
Commercial Investment Trust,
which handles Ford financing,
showed a net profit of $21, 181, 900 in
1886, compared with 100000 in
1929. 1t paid cash dividends last
year of $14,890 900, compared with
So, 825, 900 in 1929.
Commercial Credit, partly owned
by the Chrysler Corp, showed net
profits of $11, 1000 in 1886, com
pared with only $6,011,OOO in 1929.
And its dividend payments in 1886
amounted to 0,346, 900, compared
with 5000, 900 in 1929.
On top of their cash dividends,
both of the above companies paid
20 per cent dividends in stock last
year.
General Motors Acceptance Corp,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gen
eral Motors, had the second highest
net profits last year, totalling $14,-
GA, 849, compared with $12, 456, 635
in 1929.

INDUSTRIAL BOARD RULES PARENTS SHALL
RECEIVE AWARD FOR Loss OF SUPPORT
Information Important to Miners
and Smeltermen.
Finnegan, Legislator from Ana
conda, Asks That Subject Be
Clarified.

| have enclosed a copy of a mem
orandum furnished me by Chair
man ]. Burke Clements of the State
Industrial Accident Board, relative
to an important question often asked
by members of the Smeltermen's
Union on compensation awards to
parents of single young men killed
in industry. The question often
arose over the payment of only $3.50
for a single young mans burial ex-
penses and no further compensation
for his death. The following ruling
by the industrial accident boards
chairman clearly explains that young
men in industry helping to support
their parents are entitled to addi-
tional compensation, based on the
boys weekly payments to parents.
The memorandum and examples fol-
low:
Compensation is provided for par
ents when their son is killed in in
dustry in Montana, provided, the
said son has no beneficiary" mean
ing he has no wife OF child or child
rem, and provided further, that such
parents r actually dependent, in
whole or in part, for their liveli-
hood, at the time Of the injury which
causes the death.
In other words, our law provides
that when single men are killed,
there shall be paid $3.50 towards the
burial expenses, and that the mother
or father, Or both, may be what the
law calls major dependents" and
can receive compensation, in the
