CHEAPER POWER
FOR MONTANA
in PROSPECT

| WASHINGTON Assurances that
cheaper electric power will be made
available for rural electric co-opera-
tives throughout Montana as Fort
Peck power installations are com
pleted were given to Sen. James E.
Murray today by Harry Slattery, adj
ministrator of the Rural Electrified
| ton Administration. At the request
of co-operatives in various sections of
| the state for reduced power rates,
Senator Murray presented to the Ru-
| raj Electrification Administration ar
guments that public power should be
sold to the co-operatives at a figure
commensurate with the sale of public
power to users in other parts of the
country.
The use of present transmission
lines owned by private utilities under
the law requiring them to act as COM
mon carriers will make it possible to
distribute Fort Peck power to all
parts of the state as the power be-
comes available, Senator Murray was
informed. This should enable COOP
eratives to extend their lines and re-
duce their charges to the consumers,
the senator pointed out. Arrangements
of this kind are now in effect between
the Interior department, which admin
listers the sale of publicly generated
power, and the Pacific Power and
Light company and the Washington
Water Power company, large private
ly owned utility firms of the Pacific
coast.
The letter from Administrator Stat
terry to Senator Murray follows:

of September II in reference to the
disposal of electric power generated
at Fort Peck dam.

NTR0L OF
mon TANAnS inc.
MADE CLEAR

The complete subordination of Mon
tanans Inc, to direction by the "fai
boys" was made clear at a meeting
of the organization in Helena on Wed
nesday of this week, when the organ
ization adopted program of alI-out
support for retail sales tax, and
transmitted its recommendation for
enactment of that legislation by teIe-
gram to the congress.
A further action apparently in line
with the proposals of interests OPP
posed to co-operatives, recommended
the taxation of enterprises now ex-
empt from certain corporation taxes,
but the Montanans Inc. failed in their
efforts to find sources of revenue by
any suggestion of Increasing the taxes
on the exorbitant excess profits now
being made from the war by such or
CARNATIONS as the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company.
This brings to the front in Montana,
the fight between the special interests
and the people of the state; battle
which has always existed but has not
been fully recognized by many. Now,
the line is drawn and the people must
accept the gage of battle flung in
their faces.

CHINESE Co-oPS
OVERCOME ALL
DIFFICULTIES

| Twenty-Five guerilla workshops Of
the Chinese Industrial Co-operatives
some of them nearly 100 miles behind
Japanese lines, are now in full-swins
production after having evaded enemy
troops for more than 200 miles in &
planned retreat that extended over g
| four-month period, it was announced
today by Indusco, the American Com
mittee in Aid of Chinese Industrial
Co-operatives.
Despite losses amounting to 45%
of the co-operatives' capital and the
necessity for moving the co-operatives
six or seven times, the guerrilla work
shops are now producing four times
more than formerly. News of this
phenomenal undertaking was snug
gled into Free China few months
ago and airmailed to Indusco in New
York.
Originally situated at Ningpo, in
Chekiang Province, not far from en-
envy lines, the co-operatiyes had plans
for evacuation ready to put into prac-
tice on II hours notice. When the
order came to Ningpo for immediate
evacuation the co-operatives were
able to remove 100000 pounds of
goods on IA boats and Is carts. Dur
ing this time the enemy was only
IA miles away. M
Each of the carts was pulled by
three co-operators while the boats car
ried machines, raw materials, rela-
tives of the co-operators and soldiers
who had been wounded in the nearby
fighting. In five days this group coy
cred more than 100 miles to the city
of Lanchi, where they resumed pro-
duction
Within two months army intelli-
gence reported that Japanese troops
were on the move again. Following
the same procedure as before, they
loaded 100000 pounds of goods on Is

H. Y. Williams
TO SPEAK
in MONTANA

Howard Y Williams of ST. Paul
Minnesota, national field director Of
the Union for Democratic Action, an
outstanding speaker and debater, is tc
be featured at an East Helena meet
ing Sunday, October IL at s o'clock al
|LO.OF. hall, according to Julius
Smith, president of the East Helena
NJ NJ G S. w. Union (CIO) and Mrs
Eleanor Smalley, president of the aux
Hilary
Mr.. Williams appearance is being
sponsored jointly by the East Helena
Union and the Ladies Auxiliary and
will be open to the public. Subject
of the address will be: Labor and
the Post War World"
Howard Y Williams is we'll known
to American liberals and labor groups.
He has been speaking to trade unions,
colleges, churches, forums, women S
clubs, farm organizations luncheon
groups and veteran groups all over
the nation.
He served two years in France in
World War l as captain in the 10th
Engineers and was decorated by the
French and cited by General Pershing
for conspicuous action.
Mr. Williams was national director
of the League for Independent Polit-
ical Action headed by DR.. John Dewey
from 1929 to 1884 and national or
ganizer of the Farmer Labor Political
Federation headed by Hon. Thomas
R. Amlie from 1885 to 1887. His
work has taken him to every state
in the union, to Mexico and to Europe
where he has interviewed the leading
figures of many nations
He is working now at the task of
the states for political ac-
ton to stem the tide of reaction
which may sell the peace down the
river, unless we can organize the
forces to stop reaction
Mr.. Williams is ready to debate any
of the subjects he announces or sub
jects in the general field of economics
and political action.

eeIght million dollars during the
year to reach a record total of
lS1,277,793,924. This was an
increase of $50 per cent over
the previous year and, as the
report points out, "as against
the position in 1941 this high
cash figure for 1912 indicates
a real increase in volume sales
for between 1871 and 1912 there was
practically no change in the official
cost of living" The report concludes,
this surely must be acknowledged as
"a remarkable achievement when it is
remembered that limitation of sup
plies reacted more severely than ever
ON retail trade in general"
In every section of Great Britain
membership increases were reported.
The total membership now stands at
S,924,86S an increase of 1851 new
members. This is the highest in
crease since the war began. The in
creases in 1910 and 1941 were 1861
and 56,361 respectively. Commenting
on these increases the Cooperative
Union reports that while the figures
in 1910 and 1871 indicated the man
ner in which the confidence and loyal
ty of members were retained in the
most difficult circumstances, the 1912
figures indicate the growth of that
i. T.. al. L..
better trading period"
One of the outstanding facts re-
vealed in the report is the constant
growth of investment by Coop mem
bers in their co-operatives. During
the war covered by the survey the
average share capital per member in
creased SEAS bringing the average in
vestment of Coop members in their
own business to $80.44.

"A. A. REPORTS
ON COST OF
INDEX

| The cost of living index, compiled
monthly by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics of the U. S. Department of La
Dor, was found trustworthy" and "a
satisfactory instrument for measur.
| ing. average movements in the
retail prices of goods and services
purchased by city workers" in the
report of a special committee of the
American Statistical Association made
public today. The committee, headed
by Frederick G. Mills of Columbia
university, was appointed in May
1913, by E. A. Goldenweiser, president
of the American Statistical Associa-
ton, when Secretary Frances Perkins
at the request of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics suggested that a study of
the index be undertaken by the as
sociation.
In commenting on the report, Miss
Perkins said, I'VE are gratified that

a Trustworthy measure of changes in
the prices paid by consumers for

"As the report points out, much of
the criticism which has been leveled
at the index arises from misunder-
standing of it's Junction. The index is
a measure of changes in retail prices
and rents paid by city families of
moderate income. / am grateful to
the members of the committee for
the painstaking manner in which they
examined the methods used in assem-
bling prices and compiling the index
They were DR.. Frederick c. Mills of
Columbia university, chairman; DR.. E.
Reavis Cox, University of Pennsyl-
vania; DR.. Margaret Reid, Iowa State
college; DR.. Theodore w. Schultz,
University of Chicago; and DR.. Sam
uel Stratton, president of Middlebury
college. l am happy that they have
found that the index is doing the job
it was set up to do"
The committee canvassed interested
labor organizations, employees asso-
Citations and consumer groups. Evil
dence on changes in living costs has
been submitted to us by representa-
tives of the groups and by govern
mental agencies. Special studies of
food prices in cities throughout the
country have been initiated by the
committee and conducted by agents

such postwar reserve accumu-
lations should not be allowed
that industry "has more than
adequate seed money for post
war expansion.
A further reason advanced by the
Treasury department for its opposi-
ton to greater postwar reserves for
expansion were that through such
great reserves, industry would be
freed from the necessity of testing
its new investment in the capital mar
ket and thereby reducing the posi-
bility of securing the best investment
from the standpoint of the whole
economy. The protest further as
serted that such reserves would con-
stitute government subsidies, primar-
lily for the enterprises with the big
gest excess war profits thus making
possible additional investment in in
dustries which may already be over
expanded in view of postwar de-
mand" 1t called attention to the pos
sibility that new companies would not
have a fair competitive break and
stated that postwar industrial expan-
sion may be just as dependent on
high degree of competition from new
firms as it will on inducing existing
firms to make additional outlay"
The Treasury report called the at
tention of congress to the mammoth
undistributed corporate profits after
payment of dividends and taxes, esti-
mating that by the end Of the present
year, corporations will have undis-
tributed earnings of $12,3O0,000 900

WA GIVES FEEDING
SUGGESTIONS
To make the nations supply of live
stock feed produce the maximum
amount of food, the War Food Ad-
ministration says hogs should be mar
keted at lighter weights than during
the past two years and 1914 spring
narrowing should be held substantial
ly below that of last. spring. These
measures will be necessary, VIA
says, if livestock numbers and feed
supply are to be held in balance VIA
urges very best use of roughage and
pasture for sheep and cattle. In gen
eral VIA points out, if feeders hold
down the weights to which they feed
their meat animals, they'll get maxi
mum output of meat per pound of
feed used To conserve feed, VIA
recommends heavy culling of range
herds.
