the last six months of 1912, there
were 1926. In the year 1940-41 car
loads graded numbered 5,097, the next
year $3.50 were graded and in the
last six months of 1912, the number
of cars graded were 5,434 or 337 more
than in the entire year of 1904.
Similarly, the number of samples sub
mitted for grading In the year 1940-41
totaled 1868 and the following year
26,535 while in the last six months
of 1912, the laboratory was called
upon to grade 26,3SO samples.
Practically the same proportions Of
increases in demands upon the Har-
lowton laboratory for the same serv-
ices have been made. More people
have had to be employed for longer
periods each year. Commissioner
Kruse, has effected considerable saw
ings in other branches of the work
of the division, but not sufficient to
offset the extraordinary demands
upon the grain testing laboratories.
Since the passage of the act requir-
ing all fees collected from special
services by the departments revert to
the general fund, the department of
agriculture has paid into the general
fund total Of $5S,788.17, a sum paid
by the farmers of Montana as fees
for special services; in the final anal
ysis amounting to an extra tax levy,
much of which goes to the general
fund for general state purposes.

OBSERVATIONS
ON THE 1913
LEGISLATURE
By ED MASON

Each week I hope to be able to re
port some of the activities of Mon
tana's legislature particularly the bills
which are of interest to labor and tc
the farmers of Montana.
To date there has not been much
activity on the legislative calendar but
| am glad to report that our old stand
by and good friend Paul Cannon OF
Butte has seized ON the governors
recommendation that we create sep
arate Labor department and with Bob
Dunn of Gallatin county has submitted
a bill entitled House Bill No. provid-
ing for separate department of la
essary for the enforcement Of labor
laws.
Paul Cannon submitted this same
measure n 1899 and 1941. In
1889 the measure was killed in the
house and at the 1941 session the bill
passed the house and was killed in
the senate.
We will look forward with consider
able interest to see how the house
and senate members vote on this
measure in the present session.
Probably the highlite of the past
week was the governors message to
the legislature We were pleased with
the address as whole and with many
of the measures that he recommended.
But being a sportsman and outdoors
man we believe that the governors
recommendations for the Fish and
Game Department should be scrutin-
lied very carefully with the thought
of preventing any attempt to CONNER
cialize the Fish and Game Department
Montanas natural resources should be
preserved for the people of Montana
and not for wealthy sportsmen who
may wish to come here from other
sections of the country.
One thing that puzzled me about
the governors speech was why he
ignored the liquor board operations
completely in his address, | saw the
report of the board a few days ago
and as near as l can remember they
showed better than 1907 profit on
their operations and the governor
made no recommendations for the IL
quor board whatsoever
Another department we are inter
ested in is the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission which had
balance of better than eight million
dollars at the end of the year. The
governor did not mention this depart
ment but we believe that sick bene-
fit could be paid from this commits
sion without any increase in taxation |
This is already done in Rhode Island |
and it means a great deal to any |
working man who is forced back to
work many times when he should be
convalescing from sickness for the
safeguarding of his health and produc-
tive ability.
We will be back with you next week
with more observations on Montana's
1913 legislative session.

A "MAN BITES
DOG" STORY

It's not news when believers in the
cries Of racial superiority similar to
those of Adolph Hitler keep negroes
out of the best places.
But last week David Robertson,
head of the Independent Railroad
F'iremen's Union, which by a constitu-
tional clause bars negroes from mem
bership, was dropped from the pro-
gram of the big testimonial to SEN
ator Norris because of those who feel
his unions anti-negro policy is un-
American.

openings. Arrangements were mad,
for the Anaconda Copper Compan,
and certain other employers also tt
place their own personnel repre-
sentatives at these two locations il
order that the employers represent
atives could there select the mer
they wished to employ and actually
hire them.
Among the men designated by the
army as available for .furlough were a
number of negro coal miners. The
representative of the Anaconda Cop.
per Company interviewed these men
and selected approximately 40 of them
for employment at Butte. 1t is our
understanding that upon their arrival
at Butte, members of Butte local of
the International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers objected to the
employment of negroes underground.
Officers of the International union
made special trip to Butte but APP
parently were unable to adjust the
situation.
Because of the possibility that dis
turbances might occur il these ne
groes were sent into the shafts, the
employer and representatives of the
United States Employment Service
agreed that until the problem could
be worked out, these men would be
given work above ground. Informal
ton is not available in Washington
as to the specific type of work to
which the men were assigned, but it
is our understanding that the EN-
ployer paid them the wages agreed
upon at the time they were hired. A
number of these men have voluntarily
requested transfer to mines outside
the Butte area, and when such re-
quests were made, the men were sent
to other non-ferrous mines where no
problem arose out of their employ
ment as miners. The most recent in
formation we have received indicates
that all. but or of these men have
now been placed in other mines.
| note your specific inquiry as to
whether regular miners from Butte
who are now serving in the army were
not given an opportunity to return
to the jobs for which they are fit
ted :" AS | have indicated, the
army, rather than this agency, desig-
mated, the men eligible for furIough.
1t is my understanding that one of the
considerations which determined the
army's decision as to the availability
of a man TO (which release was the
extent to which the army had already
trained him for specific military work
and thus might consider him more
in the armed forces than in |
the mines.
The total number of men furloughed |
by the army and employed by the |
mining companies was 4,253. OF this |
2,873 were hired by copper |
mines, and the remainder by lead,
zinc molybdenum, tungsten, and other
mines. The Anaconda Copper Com
pany hired total of LOCI furloughed
men for work in Montana. In accord
ance with your request, l am attach
ing a copy of the order which the
Anaconda Copper Company placed
with the United States Employment
Service on August %, 1912 for the
of 900 miners.
| trust that this is the information
you desired.
Sincerely yours,

All This, and Still More
Is a Liberal Education

A liberal education should be CIV
en- under conditions favorable to
health. The body should be devel-
oped and trained by systematic and
vigorous exercise. The eyes should
be trained to see, the ears to hear,
with quick and sure discrimination.
The sense of beauty should be awak-
ened. The hands should be trained
to skillful use. The will should be
kindled by an ideal and hardened by
discipline enjoining self-control.
The pupil should learn to express
himself accurately and simply in
his mother tongue. Through mathe-
mates he should learn the relations
Of forms and Of numbers. Through
history and literature he should learn
something Of the records Of the
past; what the human race land not
least his fellow-countrymeD have
achieved; and how the great poets
and sages have interpreted the ex-
perience Of life.
His education should further de-
mand from him some study Of ma
ture and should set him in the way
Of realizing both the amount and
the quality Of evidence which valid
induction requires. Besides this it
should open windows in his mind,
so that he may see wide perspectives
Of history and Of human thought.
1t should also, by the enforcement
of accuracy and steady work, teach
him by what toll and patience men
have to make their way along the
road to truth.
Above all, a liberal education
should endeavor to give, by such
methods and influences as it is free
to use, a sure hold upon the princi-
Piles Of right and wrong. 1t should
arouse and enlighten the conscience,
the intellectual conscience and the
moral. 1t should give experience in
bearing responsibility, in organiza-
ton, and in working with others for
public ends, whether in leadership
or in submission to the common
will.

Definition of Plastics
Is Well-Nigh Impossible

A satisfactory definition Of plastics
is well-nigh impossible. What it does
is to flow into a form and retain it
but what it is eludes words. It may
appear in form sheerer than silk or
tougher than bullets; it may be
crystal clear or opaque, pliable or
stiff, heavy or light.
The granddaddy of all plastics is
nitrocellulose, first produced about
1870. From then on other plastics
gradually appeared until the mid
thirties when the brash young in
dustry came into full bloom. Where
previously the materials were con-
fined chiefly to gadgetry, they then
invaded the field of heavy indus
try. Today plastics are playing a
vital part in the war, but how actu-
ally comprehensive part must go
unknown until the need for military
secrecy is over. Spokesman for the
industry predict it will be the great
est of all industries in the postwar
world.
