Kill Animals

During the past year Great
Northern trains have killed and in
jured a great many kinds of wild
animals that roam the Kootenai
national forest. Everyone knows
that this is something that is prac-
tically impossible to avoid.
It was about year ago that a
young bull elk near Stonehill was
hit and part of his head was am
putated. He was wandering around
in this condition when found and
finally disposed of by Ranger O.
A. Knapp Of Rexford. Two big
mountain sheep were also killed in
the same vicinity last winter. Deer
crusted snow forced big game ami
mails down low along the railroad
tracks, where they struggled for
an existence that usually spelled
disaster as the bright headlights of
a big locomotive cause a spellbound
fascinating blindness" and "Wham'
it is all over in couple of sec
onds. This was the abrupt end to
hundreds of deer as well as numer-
ous other denizens of the forest.
Henry Frank, section foreman OF
the Warland maintenance crew, re-
ports finding coyote that had two
hind legs broken off high up near
the hips which is rather unusual
for coyote when one stops to think
how clever and cunning he really
is. Once Frank found black bear
killed by a train and that is some
thing However, the most unique
and unusual kill was recently Wher
Mr.. Frank found, near Ripley, G
big male beaver lying between the
rails with his back broken. This
beaver, evidently, was crossing 9
portage between the river on one
side and big slough on the other
when the big black horse caught
him amidships. Since the full
seemed to be in good shape, the
beaver was skinned out and turned
over to Ranger L. L. Lake of War
land who delivered it to Deputy
Game Warden Roy Ellingwood o.
Libby. Mr.. Ellingwood says the
hide was in very good condition fol-
this late in the season.

During the same three months
the public bought three billions of
war bonds, two billion dollars of

Every survey shows the money
is there, including war taxes and
living costs.
Even with war taxes which are
set at an approximately 30 billion
dollars and increased living costs,
there are ample indications that
Americans want to help pay for the
war by keeping their spending
down to bare necessity standards.
War Bond buying on a family
basis is suggested as the best means
of achieving the maximum lending
power to the government.
In one out of every two families
there are at least two members
earning livelihood today. In
eight per cent of the nations fam
lilies there are three or more work
ers, in two per cent, there are four

Receives TwO-Weeks
Suspension

Florence johnson Morrissey, Web
Ster school teacher, who was married
Aug. 10, 1912 but did not notify
the board Of education until last
night, received o two-week suspen-
sion for violation Of education de-
partment rules. She will be allowed

ruling which permits teachers who
marry servicemen to continue their
duties for the duration.
The marriage was performed in
California where the husband, Ed
ward r. Morrissey, was stationed, 1t
was reported. The board expressed
the belief q penalty should be i'm
posed for the rule violation but that
the teacher should be reinstated
under the new rule pertaining to
teachers who are married to serv-
icemen.
It was pointed out that another
teacher who has asked for reinstate-
ment under the new rule resigned
her position upon marriage and lost
her earnings during the period. The
board members stated that although
they were In sympathy with Mrs.
Morrissey a form Of penalty should
be imposed.
Reinstatement OF Mrs. Catharine
Hayes Lynch was approved under
the new marriage provision. The
board also voted to make the pro-
vision retro active to include all
marriages which occurred after Dec.
I, l94l. Previously the rule applied
to marriages since last Aug. /.

Continuing Strikes viii Bring Stronger
Legislation, Says Author Of Present Law
TRUCKING TROUBLES CITED EALuRE SIleoElALLY PLAN
BY JAMES THRAsHER
(NEA stan Correspondent

washington, oct. let's q pretty
hard Job these days to ind any
enthusiasm for the operations Of
the War Labor Disputes Act, better
known as the Connally- Smith ANTI
Strike Law.
Organized labor, naturally,
doesn't like It and never has. And
obviously the President doesn't,
for he vetoed It last June. But now
even its co-authors admit that this
piece Of legislation, passed over
the veto In a burst of COMPRESSION
al fireworks, is something less than
bowling success.
The law, which was designed TO
stop strikes in war industries,
hasn't, And the co-authors, Sen.
Howard Smith Of Virginia, are
neither surprised nor pleased-in
that order. y.
Sen. Connally isn't surprised, he
explains, because he always knew
that the provision for q secret
ballot strike vote was an invita-
ton to strike.
A COMPROMISE ACT
"That's the Smith Act" says the
senator. There was no such pro-
vision in my bill that passed the
Senate. But the House killed the
Senate bill. What we have now is
o compromise which we had to
take, because we needed something
right then to try to insure full war
production without Interruptions"
Rep. Smith isn't pleased because
he hoped that workers, given q
chance to ballot secretly, would
vote overwhelmingly to forego any,
thought Of strikes in wartime.
II intended In this law to give
the men the free, democratic
choice Of expressing their wishes
by secret ballot" says the Virginia
congressman. But, Of course, they
have to vote Yes, so that their
leaders can have the support Of
their vote in collective bargaining"
Rep. Smith predicts, however,
that if they keep fooling around
like those teamsters( referring to
the strike In southern states by
truck drivers Of the AFL Team
sters' Union), there will be strong
er Neutrality-suspicious. outlaw
