dent Roosevelt to stop "pussyfooting'

Speaking at an Army Day celebra-
ton at Columbia, S. c., Gov. Burnet
Maybank said: Il don't think it's fair
to the boys who are sacrificing here
to have unions elsewhere in the, U. S.
deny them the right to have the tools

An attack of this type, made by
Victor A. Miller, editor of the Televix

fire from Sec.-Treas. H. V. Harvey Of
Local Is, init. Photo Engravers Union
(AFL). Miller publications include
the North Denver American, South
Denver News, Alameda Advertiser,
Santa Fe Trail and Capitol Dome
Writing in The Colorado Labor Ad-
vocate, Denver labor paper, Harvey
said: Il wonder if he (Miller) knows
that The Wall Street Journal recently
devoted two columns to survey OF
the profits that some of the defense
industries are making? If he does
know this, is he still so unfair as to
try to prevent labor from sharing
these increased earnings?"

In addition, the trend promotes

The Outlook further charges that
the government met the refusal of
plant owners to expand "by complete
lcapitulation to the demands OF the
industrial interests in whose hands
the major orders are now concen-
trated."
This is supported, the Outlook says,
by statements OF the Temporary Ma
tional Economic Committee that "the
government and the public are over
a barrel when it comes to dealing
with business in time of war or other
crisis"
Discussing this further, the Outlook
points out that the government has
already awarded expansion contracts
at a cost of over $1,500,000, 900, and
has presented industry with another

These price rises will soon send the
cost of living still higher and already

place in numerous cities where in

with the January figure

there has always been with the Mont

The effect of sales tax, now being
talked about in congress, can be de-
termined from the fact that the lowest
income group accounted for 52@o of
all consumer expenditures while the
100000 and more crowd accounted for
only $40 of all consumer expendi-
lures.
1.-THE higher income classes" says
the TNEC study, possess great in
come reserves above the needs and
Injuries of life or taxes imposed.
In comparison with all other in
come groups in a democracy COM
mitted to the concept of placing the
tax burden ON those able to pay it,
these wealthy people are highly ia
vored."
These are but a few of the factors
that will confront congress when it
comes to writing next years tax laws.
At present it seems that they will be
given minor consideration.
The talk is of increasing consumer
taxes and such taxes as seem small
when applied to the individual but
which actually bulk large when
viewed in terms of the total and the
class of people paying them.

MERNIN VS..
d GRAHAM

In answer to James d. Graham
letter, published in The Peoples
Voice a few weeks ago: | believe Mr.
Graham went too deep into the cap
ton of my open letter and did not
digest the meaning or the reason for
the article.
Mr.. Graham was not accused of
speaking to the Workingmen's Union.
On this article, it was intimated that
such statements were made.
If | were president of the State
Federation of Labor as long as Jimmie
Graham, I wouldn't criticize a labor
representative personally. | would
have one of my "stooges" or repre-
sentatives do it for me. Mr.. Ora
hams assistant, Jack Driscoll vice
president of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor, and business agent
of the Workingmens Union was the
man who made the charges set forth
in my open letter
Henry Mernin would also like to
for Senate Bill No. to put silicotic
victims under the Welfare Board at
$50 month for occupational disease
contracted mostly in the mining and
processing of copper and rock con-
tanning silica.
also co-sponsored H. B. IA to place
these victims under the provisions of
the Industrial Accident Board where
they rightfully belong.
Mr.. Graham appeared before our
committee on workmen's compensa-
ton in favor of s. B. and was quoted
on the floor of the house in favor
of it,
| would vote for almost any silicosis
bill to get it on our statutes. l ear
nestly believe S. B. was drawn by
A. C. M. lawyers, because the tax
payers have always paid most of their
bills and Jimmie Graham has lobbied
for their bills.
Wouldn't | have been in a peculiar
position, coming from a mining COM
munity to vote against any silicosis
bill? Then have their "stooges" or
controlled sheets" say | voted against
a silicosis bill? They wouldn't say
which bill.
l hope the people, belonging to the
Montana State Federation of Labor,
will vote for the removal of James
D. Graham as president. He will
then be able to go to Helena under
his true colors as corporation lobby
list and not representative of labor!
1t is about time for the rank and
file of labor unions to stop being
exploited on both ends. On one, by
their employers; and on the other, by
the heads of their organizations.
Sincerely yours,
HENRY f. MERNIN.

CROP OUTLOOK
GOOD SAYS
FEDERAL REPORT

The April / forecast for Montana's
1941 winter wheat crop, assuming sub
sequent growing and weather condi
tions to be average, is placed at 90,
$4,000 bushels according OF the Fed.
eral Agricultural Marketing Service
Such a production would be about
% percent above that of 1910 which
was 19,12O,000 but more than double
the 10-year average (1930-39) produc-
ton of 10,79O,00O bushels.
The acreage planted for 1941 was
considerably larger than that of the
1910 crop while the indicated yield
per acre of 1870 bushels compares
with $50 bushels last year and Ill
bushels the 10-year average. Stocks
of old wheat on Montana farms on
April l this year exceeded slightly
those of year earlier, the totals be-
ing 20,746,000 bushels and 20,074,000
bushels, respectively compared with
the 10-year average farm stocks on
April of 100000 bushels. Stocks
of corn and oats were likewise larger
than both those of a year earlier,
and the 10-year average. The April
l condition of the rye crop was re-
ported at SO percent of normal COM
pared with n percent year earlier
when 1t was equal to that of the 10
year average.
Condition of pastures reported at
83 percent of normal compared with
80 percent a year earlier and was
about IL points above the 10-year av-
erage. Milk production per COW in
herds kept by crop reporters was $50
pounds on April compared with 14.6
pounds year earlier and the 10-year
average of 12.4 pounds. Eggs pro-
duced per hundred layers on these
same farms averaged 55.4 for April /
compared with $40 a year earlier,
and the 10-year average of 53.6. The
April report revised the sugar beet
production for Montana from 1,156,000
tons as estimated last December to
1,116,000 tons.
Comments of reporters to the Fed
eral Agricultural Marketing Service
indicated a general need of moisture
shortly as a result of the winter
drouth and evaporation losses. How
ever since April l, general above nor

RESOLUTIONS

At the regular quarterly meeting
of the Executive Board of the Mon
tana Division Farmers K. & C. Uniol

ton expressing the stand of the Mon
tana Farmers Union on the whea
marketing quota was adopted. The
resolution follows:
The Executive Board of the Mon
tana Farmers Union, concerned about
the interest of the small family-sizeG
farm believes that the wheat income
certificate bill will better serve and
protect the interest of these farmers
than the present program of high
loans and low parity payments, with
or without quota.
Due to lack of information, the
uncertainties of the present world sit
uation and pending amendments to
the AAA act which would greatly
change the provisions as they relate
to quotas and loans, the Executive
Board Of the Farmers Union is not
making definite recommendations to
the members on the quota at the
present time.
Upon motion duly made, seconded
and carried, the above statement was
approved.

olution also commends Sheriff Andy
Loberg, and County Attorney Stafford

law in Cascade county Resolution
