POLICY ON
Mine SUPPLIES
is ANNOUNCED

A statement Of policy relating to
equipment for western mining opera
lions has been issued by DR.. Wilbur
A. Nelson, chief OF the mining branch
of the war production board, and
gives assurance that mines whose
production Is vital to the war effort
will be able to obtain necessary oper-
ating equipment.
The policy was laid down in order
to clarity the status of orders for
equipment for mines that produce
critical materials, and those that pro-
duce gold, silver and other precious
metals. DR.. Nelson emphasized that
mines which produce substantial
amounts Of vital war materials will
be able to apply for high priority
ratings for equipment regardless of
the amount OF gold or silver they
may produce.
In letter to senators of eleven
western states, DR.. Nelson said that
the preferred priority rating-P-56-
which was removed as a blanket rat
ing from the mining industry already
has been re-issued to about 70 mining
properties in the Rocky Mountain
area on the basis of individual ap-
plications.
1--WE do, however, want to make it
clear" DR.. Nelson wrote, "that we are
not prepared to grant vital machines
to any mines where there is not
substantial production of the critical
materials we need to win the war"

with the miners of Butte with whom
he worked for eight and one-half
years as a mucker and miner. He is
a charter member of the Teachers
union at the university. He has long
been considered one of the states out
standing liberals. Aggressive and
militant, his position on controver-
sial matters is always known. By
character, education, and varied and
broad experience, Mr.. Mansfield is
well fitted for the position he seeks.
He attended grade school in Great
Falls, Mont, where he was reared. In
1918, when he was only IA years of
age, he enlisted in the Navy for the
duration of the war, thereby acquir-
ing the distinction of being the young
est World War veteran in the United
States. After the war he served in
the Army for one year and In the
Marine Corps for two years.
In 1922 Professor Mansfield came
to Butte and rustled job as mucker
in the old Colorado mine on East
Park street. For the next six years
he continued this occupation, working
most of the time at the Black Rock
He also worked in the West Colusa,
Pennsylvania, and Mountain View
mines, and served as a fire fighter
at the Elm Orlu and Leonard mines.

termed "a meeting of historical sig
nificance," the delegates squarely
faced the issues thought to be stand
ing In the way Of a mutual viewpoint
Of city Co-ops and labor unions, such
as the labor policy of Co-ops, neglect
of retail Co-ops by labor families, the
APPROACH of price controls and ration
ing and the effective organization Of
consumer protection. Out of the con-
freence came these concrete propos-
ais:
Formation of committee on con-
sumner protection and Co-ops in each
local union and committee Of labor
relationships in each local Coop.
An educational program in the la
Dor press on credit unions and con-
sumner Co-ops and In the Coop press
on the true story Of labor's contribu-
ton to the victory effort.
Opposition to all forms of general
sales taxes and the prevention of In
flation by equitable rationing and
strict price control.
Maintenance Of fair wage and hour
standards for workers of Co-ops and
encouragement of their unionization
where they are not already organized;
and full use by unionists and their
families of the retail and service
Co-ops.
Keynoting the conference, Hubert
Humphrey, state director Of WPA war
services, urged the knitting together
OF labor and consumer Co-ops in the
battle to defeat fascism and to build
a world based upon abundance and
peace. Edelman stressed the fact
that Tabor, the farmers and the con-
sumner Co-ops could form the ideal
team to win the war on the home
front"
Sec. George w. Lawson of the Min
nesota State Federation of Labor
wound up the meeting by recommend
ing similar conferences as a means
to "furthering the type of understand
ing we both need" Lawson criticized
the consumer Co-ops for not making
clear that they are capable of diff
ferent point Of view from the mar
keting co-operatives and said that the !

that Jeanette Rankin would not be
a candidate for congress again, espe.
cially in view of the candidacy of her
brother.
Various progressive groups in the
state were again getting ready to tell
their membership to study the records
of the candidates and determine how
they voted in the past. 1t is gener-
ally considered that the best way to
find out how a candidate will vote is
to consider his past record and not
depend upon his campaign promises.
Many of the candidates being men
toned for offices have records that
indicate a complete disregard for dem
ocratic processes, and many of them
have past histories showing conclu-
sively that they have failed to vote
for the peoples interest.
In the various local contests for
the state senate and house of repre-
tive record which can be secured from
The Peoples Voice cannot be too
greatly emphasized. Here in tabu-
lated form is a complete record of the
vote on various important measures.
By reading this carefully the voter
can learn how his representative voted
and whether he voted for the people
or against them. 1t is to be hoped
that a widespread distribution of the
record can be obtained.
AS predicted In this column last
week Wellington D. Rankin issued a
statement that he would be a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator. That
would indicate that Congresswoman
Jeanette Rankin decided not to run.
On Monday Albert H. Kruse, state
commissioner of agriculture; ]. P.
Brennan, u. S. unemployment service;
Clarence Popham, Corvallis; H. M.
Montgomery, Chinook; Herb Williams,
Hardin; and G. ~ Wells, Fairview,
the beet growers, all left
for Salt Lake City to attend meet
ing called by M. S. Eisenhower, d.
rector of the War Relocation Author
ity. To be discussed at the meeting
were plans and policies regarding
evacuated Japanese and other aliens.
Specific programs were to be agreed
upon.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler arrived
in Helena from Washington during
the week. Repeatedly here to discuss
the coming election campaign with
his lieutenants Barclay Craighead and
J. Burke Clements, Wheeler probably
intends to give them some hints on
how they can help defeat Senator

zippers May Not Contain Copper
The use Of copper and copper base
alloy, steel, zinc and zinc base alloy
in the manufacture of slide fasteners
(zippers), hooks and eyes, brassiere
hooks, snap fasteners and other gar
ment closures has been prohibited by
the war production board. The saw
ing in copper alone is expected to
amount to about 5000 tons year.
Production "Stopv Orders
The green light for war production
necessarily means the red light for
many types of non-essential civilian
production. The following "stop" or
ders have been issued recently by the
war production board:
No more lawn mowers may be
manufactured after June 80.
Toys, games and Christmas tree or
naments made of metal, plastic and
other materials needed for the war
effort can not be produced after June
80, and the use of certain paints in
toy manufacture is prohibited. Off,
Gals say, however, there will be plen-
ty of toys for the 1912 Christmas
season. 49,
Production of vacuum cleaners will
halt April 30.
After July 1, no metal of any kind
may be used in the manufacture of
non-essential household and miscel-
laneous articles.
Fluorescent lighting fixtures no
longer can be produced except for
essential uses.

reported that the Administration was
anxious to defeat O'Connor and elect
Murray, so Wheeler is undoubtedly
laying the ground work for his cam
paign.
Scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, was
meeting of mine owners and oper-
ators who discussed ways and means
by which full utilization of mining
and milling equipment could be had.
The conferees planned to use all
equipment for the production and fin
ishing of strategic metals. Earlier in
the week Governor Ford issued
statement In which he urged Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes to make full
use of Montana's production of coal
for the war effort. The governor said
that 5000 tons was available for ship
ment to other states each month and
this would permit eastern coal to be
used for defense work.
The State Board of Education will
hold it's quarterly meeting here April
IL. The board will discuss salaries,
appropriations and make new appoint
ments to school faculties. Considera-
ton of Montana State university will
take up some time, and it is expected
that further decisions will be made
regarding that institution. The State
Fish and Game Commission will also
meet Monday the 18th to consider
setting of opening dates and seasons.
The State High Commission is sched-
uled to meet this week in routine
session.

Los Angeles federal grand jury few
days ago returned criminal indict-
ments against group Of men charged
with violating the tire rationing reg
ulationss -
In commenting on the policy Of
OPA, Glenn w. Collins, regional d.
rector said: "Those who connive to
get more than their fair share of any
rationed article are equally as guilty
as those who traffic illicitly in ra-
toned goods for profit. Public con-
domination of these practices now will
be supplemented by criminal prosecu-
ton"
Trouser Cuff Ban Is Absolute
WPB officials condemn alleged at
into effect several days ago, on the
finishing by retail stores of cuffs on
mems and boys trousers. Altho mer-
chant tailors are permitted make cuffs
until May 80, they are mot permitted,
officials say, to put cuffs on trousers
bought elsewhere. Buying a ready
made suit and then taking it to
tailor to have cuffs put on is, they
say, direct violation of the law.
Save Those Old Toothpaste Tubes
Since March 81, the government has
required that persons buying tubes of
toothpaste or shaving cream from re-
tailers must turn in a used tube be-
fore the purchase can be completed.
The order is designed to salvage tin
waste. In addition, the WPB has is.
