CIO-RUBBER FIGHT

Members of United Rubber Work.
ers (CIO) are worried over con-
struction of a new tire manufac-
turing plant in Waco, Texas. This
is an innovation which may end
tight lab0 control of wages and
working conditions in Akron, Ohio.
Practically every big tire COM
pany asked WPB approval for new
plant construction to meet the de-
mand for production of synthetic
tires. But Rubber Workers accused
the industry of trying to break the
wage levels by moving to cheap
labor areas. Ex-Rubber Director
Bill Jeffers supported them, told
the companies to go home and re-
wise their fantastic" plans for ex-
pansion.
Today, Bill LETTERS is gone. and
the tide is turning. General Tire
and Rubber has been granted per-
mission to build a new S3,0000 900
plant at Waco, Texas And the in
dustry generally is spending big
money in an advertising campaign
TO sell the idea of expansion.
Most OF them want to move
south, partly for cheaper labor,
partly TO be near raw materials.
Synthetic rubber is being produced
almost entirely below the Mason
Dixon line, in plants at Institute,
w. Va, Baton Rouge, La, Port
Neches, Texas, and Los Angeles.
The companies are under ter
rifle pressure to increase produc-
ton Of tires, and in turn they are
putting pressure on the union and
on the Rubber Directors Office to
speed up production of the individ-
ual worker and let more workers
come into the industry.
Though this fight has not broker
into headlines. it is one of the bit
terest struggles in the ALDERMAN.
agement field today.

Adverse planetary influences are
active today which may be unfavor-
able for developments affecting
labor problems.

energies and to forego rest must be
overcome by stern self discipline.
Many persons will find guidance i'll

able for those who seek spiritual aid.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor un-
rest is again presaged by the stars
and there is a sign of i'll omen for
those who obstruct production in
war industries. Certain planetary
aspects encourage public protests
and demonstrations of force when
ever the output of ships, planes and
ammunition is retarded. In all

war but will be of little value to the United States
which is spending millions it now-after the war,
when the operations will go to Canadian ownership.
This demand for oil is not something that
will fade with the end of the war. On the contrary,
the shortage will grow more and more acute as the
years pass, unless reserves are tapped.
Here is something that should be investigated
thoroughly, not only for the purpose OF aiding
Aaskas postwar comeback, but for the. purpose OF
helping to avert oil panic for the entire United
States.

More Plans Studied
To Further Highway
Bond Election

County Chairman Veldman called
his committeeman together Tues
day evening to consider further
plans for the putting over of the
highway debenture bonds at the
special election June 8.
Reports had come in from a large
number of the judges and clerks of
election agreeing to serve without
charge. Others are still to be heard
from, about six cards arriving daily
from those officials, said Mr.. Weld
man. He also reported that the
SIS quota had been received from
Troy.
Plans were discussed for the car
rying on of the publicity campaign
between now and the election and
to induce everyone to vote.
There seems to be confusion as to
the amount of new tax the proposed
referendum, if adopted, would i'm
pose. The proposed measure would
place an additional tax Of cent per
gallon on gasoline tised-by meteor
vehicles on the highways, and an
additional tax of 2l2 cents per gal
Ion on Diesel motor oil used in a
motor vehicle on the highways

Youths Fined For
Reckless Drivinq

Last week a couple of young
men were taken into Justice of the
Peace Wallace's court and fined for
reckless driving in the vicinity of
the school houses and when school
children were crossing the streets.
1t is said one of them drove right
through an intersection, filled with
children, totally ignoring the stop
sign and the orders of the young
school patrolman stationed at that
particular corner
Justice Wallace says that he GER
tainly will impose stiff fines against
anyone convicted Of such an of
Tense The danger of manning or
killing children by such reckless
tactics is so great that the culprit
must be severely punished, he feels.
Both young men who were fined in
the present instance are old enough
to have known much better.

Ammunition Is
Restricted To
Essential Uses

The War Production Board, act
ing to conserve the limited supply
of ammunition available for civil
ian use, has restricted sale of am
munition, including shotgun shells,
to essential users, Leslie A. Miller,
regional WPB director, announced
last week The action will make
small amounts of ammunition more
readily available to ranchers and
farmers of the mountain region for
use in the control of predatory ami
mails. Sale of ammunition for rec
reational hunting is banned except
from stocks of dealers owning less
than $3.50 worth of ammunition at
retail value.

GOVERNMENT WANTS
ALL FOR BOXES

The War Production Board has
restricted use of seven species OF
Western lumber produced in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming. New Mexico and
Montana almost entirely to essen
tial military needs, Thomas w
Schomburg, regional WPB lumber
advisor, announced today.
The action affects about 300 OF
the larger lumber producers in the
four states and Washington, Ore
gon, California, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona and South Dakota.
The order becomes effective May
ID. It affects all ponderosa pine
sugar pine, Idaho white pine, white
fir, lodgepole pine, EngleWood
spruce and Western white spruce
except shingles, lath or railroad
cross-ties, produced in the listed
states.
Mr. Schomburg explained that
demands for military boxing and
Grating have become SO great that
it was found necessary to stop uses
Of these lumbers.
The affected producers are per-
mitted to sell the restricted lumber
only to the Corps of Engineers, to
other designated government agen-
cies, to Lend-Lease countries and to
their contractors and sub-contrac-
tors.
The order also provides that no

Libby Club
Will Resume
Active Work

About a year ago the directors
of the Libby Commercial Club de
cided, after careful consideration
that it would be unwise to continue
the clubs usual activities. They
therefore announced that only
necessary business would be looked
after and that the directors would
attend to that. This conclusion was
reached because of the departure
of the president, James Christie,
for service in the navy, and of NJ X.
Kedzie, secretary, to make his home
in Great Falls 1t was believed
that war activities would more than
keep most people busy.
Change Minds
However, there has now been a
change of conviction regarding this
matter. Some of the directors at
tended meeting recently in Kali
ispall where representative of
the U. S. Chamber Of Commerce
was present. He urged that all club
activities be kept up as usual and
said it was highly important that
this be done.
The Libby directors have there
fore concluded to 60 ahead with a
program of active work. The usual
monthly dinners will not be given,
but meetings will be held at various
times in charge of the various COM
mittees. 1t is about time for an
nual election of officers and this
will be held soon. Inauguration Of
activities will be left to the new
directors.
A number of the present directors
have served all the way from eight
and 10 to Is and 20 years. They
feel more new blood should be put
into harness and will ask for the
election of new men to fill part, at
least, Of the places on the board.
AT meeting held Tuesday night
and called by X. A. Klehm, who
has been acting secretary, it was
decided to place before the club an
amendment to the bylaws which
would provide for rotating direc-
tors after possibly two years. BY
this means, it is believed more of
the young and able members could
be indicted into the clubs activi-
ties
