There about IL 900 people in this neighborhood and
than 900 live in traers because of the housing short

The Value Of
! Pound of Fat

HOW MUCH is a pound of
fat?
It's the firing of four 81 milli-
meter ,anti-aircraft shells when
Nazi planes fly over North
Africa.
It's ] $40 pounds OF cordite
which sends a shell screaming
toward an invasion objective.
It's a half pound Of dynamite
to blow up a bridge 10 hamper
the enemy.
It's three cellophane bags 10

diers carry.
So Mrs. Homemaker. save
your fats!
Fats should be strained :nto
the can and kept in cool place
such as the refrigerator, until
81 tablespoonful Zone pound)
are collected
Fats of all kinds fats
and vegetable fats 80 may be
mixed together, but the can
should be taken to the meat
dealer before the fat grows
rancid. The glycerine content
OF rancid fat is less.

TNHE prospect of meat ration
l. ing brought one blessing to
housewives today-a list Of
recipes for non-reStricted dishes
turned out by one of the world $
foremost gourmets, Oscar OF the
Waldorf.
In cooperation with the gov
ernment'S Share-the-meat pro-
gram, the host of the Waldorf
Astoria sent to the Office of War
Information three recipes. Their
basic ingredients are calves
liver and kidneys, both nom
Tationed.
Here are the recipes:
Calves Liver Espaenol
Cut the calves liver into slices
weighing about 81 ounces. Sea-
son with salt and pepper.
Dredge with flour; then sprinkle
with olive oil or salad oil and
grill gently. Prepare as many
grilled half tomatoes as there
are pieces of liver. Also cut
onions into thin. round slices,
season, dredge with flour and fry
in oil Arrange the slices of
liver along the center of a plat
ter; place a grilled half tomato
on each and decorate with the
fried onions.

POLL TAX
REPEAL FACES
HARD FIGHT

Sober understanding" of the many
obstacles to poll tax repeal is needed
to secure passage of HR. 7, now in
the senate judiciary committee, Nor
ris Milgram, Workers Defense League
secretary, declared this week. After
listing the major obstacles, which he
said included Sen. Claude Peppers
failure to reintroduce his repeal bill,
the WDL official called on all believ-
ers in democracy to redouble their eff
forts to secure passage of HR. 7, and
to write to their senators insisting
that "they vote for cloture to prevent
a repetition of last years filibuster
against the bill"
Obstacles listed by Mr.. Milgram in
clude:
1. An increase in opposition to the
poll tax repeal bill in congress, as
evidenced by the $40 increase over
last year in anti-repeal votes when
the measure was adopted in the house
May rs by 265 to 10, as compared
to 40 increase in votes for repeal.
Last year the bill passed the house
by 254 to "a.
2. Failure of Sem Claude Pepper of
Florida to reintroduce the bill in the
senate. 1t is reported that Senator
Pepper declined to reintroduce his bill
unless the President agreed that he
should.
8. The resounding victory of the
southerners' filibuster last fall will
make many senators unwilling to at
tempt a fight to the finish against
their powerful bloc. Last year, a
combination of southern democrats
northern republicans easily defeated
by 41-37 vote the attempt to impose
a cloture rule. Cloture, which is
limitations of each senator's speech
to 1 hour, requires a two-thirds vote
The one bright spot in the picture,
Mr.. Milgram declared, is the fact that
this session of congress doesn't end
for fifteen months, (which makes it
easier to fight filibuster than it was
last year. . provided the people let
their senators know they want them
to make hard fight"

SPUD GROWERS
FACE TROUBLE

Large numbers of farmers who this
year planted extra acreage of pota-
toes in response to the urging of the
government, now face a loss of work
and products, due to inadequate plan
ming for the handling of the increased
production.
A floor on the price of potatoes has
been established in the form of a loan
program, but this will be effective
only for the producers equipped with
approved storage facilities. A large
number of farmers who planted extra
acreage of potatoes did so under the
impression that the government stood
ready to purchase their crop when
harvested. This, the government can
not do and if the producer does not
have approved storage facilities avail
able, it simply means that he must
dump his crop on an overloaded mar
ket for whatever price he can get.
This failure to plan ahead for the
handling of this years increased pro-
duction on the part of the grower and
the governments failure to make its
program clear to the producer, will
probably result in curtailed produc-
ton next year.

|LAB0R'S next
GREAT ADVANCE
BY w. CLARKE

What will the postwar world be
like? That's the question you hear
these days from labor leaders ali
across America and Canada. They
know it will depend upon the thous-
ands of new union members and the
way they live and work for the union.
The gains in wages and the i'm
provements in conditions have drawn
men and women into the unions by
the thousands. They like what they
get through the unions, and rightly SO.
The unions stand for a fair distribu-
ton of the wealth and work of the
country without exploitation. They
meal for every man and his family.
We have raised wages and bettered
conditions but are faced with the
truth that these gains have not won
the deep personal loyalty of many
members. So often the meetings that
may mean further increases in pay
are the only ones really well attended.
There is an Indifference and apathy
among members-a restlessness and
desire for something more that is
holding up the full effectiveness of
the unions. That something more"
which we must offer now will deter
mine the future of the whole labor
movement. 1t must be something
that will free the heart and mind of
every worker and rouse and inspire
him to give his very best for the I'M
ion.
Next Great Advance
The next advance must be to an
swer the moral and personal problems
of our people as well as the material
problems If we are to free them to
give their best in labor's fight for a
new world. We hope to launch new
schemes of cooperative insurance but
we must also insure against conflict
between husbands and wives and be-
tween unions. To step up labor's Of
fensive for Moral Re-Armament is the
next great advance in our progress.
We must be able to change MEN and
their MOTIVES as well as wages and

To the Officers and Delegates to the
Forty-sixth Annual Convention OF
Montana State Federation of Labor
Assembled at Anaconda, Montana,
August 18th, 1943
The improvement that was observed
in the administration of the Work
mems Compensation Act last year, has
continued during the past year and in
jured workers have less complaint
to make against the administration of
the Workmens' Compensation than
they had few years ago.
The number of fatal accidents in
the industries have increased consid-
erably during the past two years and
more especially during the past year.
The employing of workers who have
had no previous experience in the in
dustry, especially in an industry that
is highly mechanical with modern
is accountable for much Of
the increase in industrial accidents.
The report of the Industrial Acct
dent Board of Montana for the fiscal
year ending June Goth, 1912, shows
one coal miner killed for every three
hundred and forty miners employed.
For the past fiscal year ending June
Goth, 1913, the number of coal miners
killed in Montana is estimated at 10
for every two hundred men employed
in and around the coal mines in the
state While it is hard to get the
exact number of men employed in the
hard rock mines, careful study
shows that in the metalliferous mines
for the fiscal year ending June both,
1871, there were approximately one
miner killed for every fifteen hun
bred miners employed. The number

PRES. JAMES D. GRAHAM'S REPORT
TO MONTANA Federation OF LABOR
CONVENTION AT ANACONDA, AUG. II

1913 is estimated at three for every
one thousand men employed In anG
around the metalliferous mines in the
state The fatal accidents are a heavy
liability to the industry and to society
The worst coal mine disaster in the
history of the state, occurred at the
Smith mine near Bear Creek last Feb
ruary and took the lives of seventy
five men. The legislature being in
session at the time, enacted a law
directing the governor to appoint a
committee to investigate the causes
of the explosion and appropriated five
thousand dollars to defray the cost of
the investigation. Until the report of
the investigation is made public, the
data will not be complete to form a
| final opinion as to where the blame
! for the disaster lies. However, it was
known for over three months before
the explosion, that there was gas in
the mine and that a dangerous condi-
ton existed. Information at hand
would indicate that there was insuffi-
cient ventilation in the mine and not
enough pure air going up to the work
ing face and that the air in the mine
was polluted by noxious gases.
During the past eight years, bills
were introduced in the legislature to
provide for a greater volume of pure
the state and all the bills were de-
feated although the legislative COM
mittees that considered these bills
were told that dangerous situation
existed and that a mine disaster
might occur unless remedied - how
ever, no legislation was enacted for
the protection of the coal miners.
Steps must be taken to protect the
life and limbs of those who toll in the
coal mines and to this end, resolutions
dealing with the situation will be in
troduced in the convention for consid-
Grafton of the delegates.
TEACHERS LOW SALARIES
Current reports are that there is
a threatened shortage of teachers fac
ing the Montana schools and this may
result in an inferior quality of teach
ers being employed to fill the posi-
lions made vacant by well qualified
Montana teachers moving to the Pa
cific coast states, where larger sal
aries are paid. In one state on the
Pacific coast the minimum salary paid
school teachers, is $1,000 per year, as
compared to the average of $4,000
paid rural teachers in Montana, which
means $6641 per month, if the teacher
decides to go to college during the
summer months to improve her eff
cheney.
The average salary paid rural teach
ers in this state, is on par with
WPA wages. Rural teachers in Silver
Bow county receive an average of
81 ,01200 per year-this is the top
wage paid rural teachers in this state,
while Fergus county pays about the
lowest, an average of $500 per year.
Butte grade school teachers are
paid an average of $1,S01.00 and Butte
high school teachers receive an aver
age of $2,121.00 per year. This is the
top average paid teachers in Mon
tana. 1t is evident that it pays to
teach in city, where labor is we'll
