METAL AND MINE
MEMS VICTORY"
ORGAN PLANNED
TO BE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF
LABOR AND MANAGEMENT
PRODUCTION GROUPS

Plans for a new publication for mine
and metal workers at Butte. Anaconda
and Great Falls. to serve as the Off
cial organ of the victory labor-man-
agement production committees Of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Co., took
concrete form recently with impetus
provided by the war department,
which sent its Capt. William C. Whyte
to Butte for series of conferences
with the committees.
The new publication will be shaped
by Robert Newcomb, specialist in in
dustrial publications and head Of
Robert Newcomb, Inc, New York city.
Newcomb, who accompanied Captain
Whyte, was recommended by the war
department to the committees to
launch the program.
conference on the publication was
held at the Hotel Finlen, attended by
members of the three committees at
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls.
Representatives of labor and manage
ment alike heartily Endorsed the pro-
gram Captain Whyte told the audi
ence of the tremendous interest in
the project being taken by officials
Of the war department, and urged all
committee members to realize how
vitality important the Montana area is
to winning the war. Decision to pub
lish a periodical was reached by the
committee recently following such
recommendation by representatives of
the war production board.
The committee decided that the eff
fort should be directed by neutral
editor, thoroughly experienced in the
field, and the war department, of
whom the request was made, recon-
mended Newcomb.
At the latest meeting of the local
victory labor-management committee,
the group selected three representa-
tives for an editorial board to repre-
sent the Butte area-two from labor
and one from management. John F.
Bird was chosen as the representative
for the American Federation of Labor,
John Mcleod was named to represent
the miners union while John Board
man was selected for the Anaconda
company.
