Let's Talk
The old Tiger may get tired of

of talking about the actions of peo-

what would have happened if
James Wade. David Cogburn. and
Melvin Mechanics would stoy beat
ing their desk and get drum.
Yes, it really will be a happy
time when Elizabeth Walker stops
bouncing around in the room and
stay in her seat. The same thing APP
plies to Guy Percy, Willie. Dan.

The Tiger notices that Joseph
Robinson, Melvin Mechanics, Guy
Percy, and James Wade like to
talk about their little girl friends.
The Tiger is just wondering whe-
Their these babies are trying to be

MURRAY SAYS
0PA TO amend
wheat PRICE

WASHINGTON - Sen. James r.
Murray was advised today that an
amendment to the OPA's regulations
governing the cost of wheat loaded on
freight cars and marketed by farmers
is now being drawn and will be an
nounced within the near future. The
purpose of the amendment viii be to
increase the price of wheat to farm
ers who perform those functions them
selves.
Wheat growers throughout Montana
have been petitioning Senator Murray
for relief from the provisions of OPA
ruling 487 which provides a price of
into cars than for wheat delivered to
elevators. Complaints came in from
all sections of Montana, and Senator
Murray protested to the OPA against
the regulation. He pointed out that
farmers have gone to considerable ex-
pense to build loading platforms and
that when they load the wheat direct
on the cars they perform service
which entities them to the full OPA
price He objected to penalizing the
wheat growers &c as provided in
RMPR 4S7.
Administrator Bowles has agreed
that an amendment is necessary and
announced today that the OPA is con-
sidering amending present wheat reg
ulations to recognize and recompense
the farmer who does this work him
self
The new regulations, Senator Muir
ray said, will recognize the price to
the producer who sells on his farm to
q country shipper; another price to
the producer who delivers his wheat
on a truck in carload lots and ships
it to market. This third producer per-
forms most of the functions of the
country elevatorman or shipper. He
orders cars from the railroad and SUI
pervises their loading. He bills the
car to the market offering the best
price at the time of shipment. He

GREEN FOR
WAcNE
DINGELL BILL
Advises That American
Federation Convention
Adopted Bill Unanimously;
Graham in Attendance
At Time.

WASHINGTON. - Sen. James E
public today a statement by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, reasserting the
federation's determined policy favor
ing extension of social security and
endorsing the principles of S. 1161,
commonly known as the Wagner-Mur-
ray-Dingell bill.
The Green statement was prompted
by the effort of James d. Graham,
president of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor, an affiliate of the
national group, to swing organized Ia
boris support away from the pending
measure.
Press reports from Helena recently
ed the bill as "totalitarian" and "for-
eign to the American way of life. -
He also was quoted as saying: 1.-THE
Montana Federation of Labor is in
favor of social security-but at what
price are we to give our democracy
away for it? =. We've got to stop
this thing, this government by decree
from Washington They've gone
crazy in Washington"
Calling on President Green for an
expression of views on Mr.. Graham's
declarations and activities, Senator
Murray told the national labor chief
he had been under the impression that
the principles of the bill were salts

connection observed that, "It is, of

ON THE MARGIN
BY BOB

The political scene was livened ur
this week by what some more sensl
tive souls among the democrats call
a putsch against the party interests
but which others look upon as a crafty
move, typical of the elder statesman
Wheeler. At any rate, it is an in
teresting subject for speculation.
AS it was pretty well publicized in
what is known to all and sundry as
the company press" I'm late with it
as news. However, l haven't told 1t
before. so I'm entitled to my day in
court"
The news story as published is that
the executive council of the United
Mine Workers, after having assertedly
given profound consideration to all
personalities and issues involved, had
arrived at the momentous conclusion
that it must endorse Burke Clements,
chairman of the industrial accident
board as the man best qualified of
ALL and sundry, to fill the governors
chair the next four years.
The possibility of a move of that
kind had been anticipated by some OF
the political sages, ever since Craig
head and Clements had journeyed to
Billings and there addressed the
UNIV. l don't know whether any of
these political pundits had actually
looked for anything like it or not
Your guess is as good as mine, and
anyhow it isn't important. These far
sighted luminaries said they knew
wind when the two Wheeler cham
pions appeared before the miners and
talked politics. AS far as l (and
maybe YOU am concerned l thought
there was something phoney about
politician like Clements warning the
miners against going for someone for
governor who had courted their fav-
ors. But then l never pretended to
understand the devious craft of the
politicians. I have been content to
chronicle the things that l could I'M
derstand.
From the way in which man who
is rated as one of the political long
heads hereabouts analyses the thing it
has the earmarks of a double play
sort of Wheeler to John Lewis to
Tony Boyle This same man stated
that he suspected some kind of polit-
ical stunt would be pulled when the
last convention of the UNIV author
lied the executive board-Boyle ct al
Ito investigate and recommend along
political lines. Maybe that's what
happened | wouldn't know but it
makes some sense even to me-
Anyhow it brings about an odd sit
uation here. Clements, leading
democrat Cor is hep has been re-
tanned in office without reappoint-
ment for about year. And now he
= Clements - is out after his boss
scalp apparently; or at least his tribe
is Now what's going to happen?
Will the governor reluctantly accept
Mr.. Clements resignation? Or what?
YOU tell ME.
It looks like this will go down as
one of the tabled years characterized
by coyness of politicians. Are there
others like Clements waiting or ar
ranging for drafting by some groups
in order to properly impress the hoi
polloi? Or are they just watching
possible opposition? Whatever is go
ing on it's tough on the chronicler.
Has anyone a second hand crystal
ball not in use? I'd like to borrow it.

l want to be very careful in what
say about that, so that you do no

as whole. l very carefully refrainet
from doing that. l pointed out the
fact that American labor is the same
in stock as all of us, and that Amer
| lean labor has shown great perform
ance in production, but what l have
criticized has been the action of GER
tain portion of American labor, pos
sibly very small portion but produc

won very bitter criticism, although

Senator Murray: You really know
that there is widespread, bitter re-
sentiment in the minds of the armed

Secretary Stimson: Yes, | know
that.
Senator Murray: Against American
labor?
Secretary Stimson: Yes, | know
that.
Senator Murray: Do not you feel
that the record of American labor
measures up fairly well with the rec
ord of the business organizations, the
industrial group in the country that
has engaged in war production?
Secretary Stimson: ! think it meas
ures up very we'll, considering the lack
OF organization and lack of leadership
which it has had from the govern
ment.
Senator Murray: Despite its weak
ness in organization and leadership,
don't you think it's record has been
splendid one when you compare it
with American industry?
Secretary Stimson: You mean as a
comparison between labor and man
agement?
Senator Murray: Comparison be-
tween labor and management.
Secretary Stimson: No, no | could
make no such distinction as that. |
should think management has done
extremely well.
Senator Murray: Do you think it
has done comparatively better than
American labor?
Secretary Stimson: have not said
that.
Senator Murray: In other words,
you think labor's record is equally as
good?
