An example of the cooperative re-
lationship which can exist between
radio stations and labor unions is
given in the arrangement between
radio station WROK and the Cen
trail Labor Union Of Rockford, Hi
nois.
Early last fall WROK established
a Builders program during which
the station donates a half hour
period each Monday for the use of
the Central Labor Union.
The program is in the form Of
musical entertainment donated by
the various union bands and must
cal groups of the city, with an inter
Jude of talks and occasionally
dramatic skits. Individual programs
are dedicated to each of the % I'M
ions affiliated with the central body
and the program copy is designed
to acquaint listeners with the ac-
tivities and purpose of the various
locals. Copy and program material
is prepared by the union.
Satisfaction of the unions with the
program is expressed in the letter
sent to WROK by Cap Brady, secre-
tary of the central union. 1t fol-
lows:
Gentlemen:
At the last regular meeting Of the
Rockford Central Labor Union, l
was directed to write to you to ex-
press the sincere appreciation of or

MEMBERS BELIEVE THAT NSTITly ms
SHOULD HAVE PROPS FINANCES
State B0' of Education and
Officer 1 University Have
Not c srated But Have OPP
posed ions.

Labor at all times has supported
the State Educational Institutions of
Montana and is responsible for the
large tax levy today which benefits
these state institutions. On the
other hand the State Board of Edu-
cation and the faculty of the State
College and University are among
the bitterest opponents that organ
lied labor has in this state.
At the general election in 1880 the
voters approved an increase in the
tax levy for the State Educational
Institutions, however, the voters in
thirty-eight or two-thirds of the
counties voted overwhelmingly
against the measure and the remain
ing eighteen counties voted for the
measure. Organized labor vigor-
ously supported the measure and
overcame the opposition, giving the
increase in the tax levy a majority
of 9,341 votes. Had Silver Bow
County, where organized labor pre-
dominates, voted against the mea-
sure, it would have been defeated.
A bond issue to provide funds for
new state school buildings vas also
voted on at the election in 1880. It
received a majority in the same
counties that favored the tax levy.
In 1880 organized labor in Mon
tana was concentrated in a few
places, having unions in only seven
teen counties, in most of these the
unions had only a toe hold and were
very weak, nevertheless the vote of
organized labor in Montana is a
powerful factor when the workers
concentrate on an issue.
At the convention of the Montana
State Federation of Labor held in
Great Falls, June, 1880, the bond and
tax levy measures were endorsed
and the delegates were urged to
campaign for these measures when
they returned to their homes, but
since then a majority of the State
Board of Education has shown its
appreciation to organized labor by
refusing to grant any request that
labor has made of the board.
When the ground was broken re-
Gently for the School of journalism
