give all the recommended candidates
full publicity in its paper, the Miners
Voice The Union paper also backed the
legislative ticket recommended by the
county cunci.
Our Miners Voice carried some Of the
best editorials on the National CIO
PAC written by progressive leaders in
the Union. A research which was made
recently by President Bill Mason and
press Committee Member Robert j.
Harris disclosed that twenty-siX articles
on political action and over eighteen
cuts were published in the eleven issues
Of the Miners Voice which were printed
this year.
These accomplishments of our Union
in the field of progressive political
action, and they are not all that we
can list, are direct products of the hard
work Of progressive Butte miners in the
leadership of the Union and among the
committees and active membership.
ANY writer describing political action
in Butte, or for that matter in the
state of Montana, who fails to show that
progressive miners are putting politica
action over is not writing about politica
action. He is playing politics at the
expense Of a peoples movement.

You have perhaps heard nothing about
this modest proposal, or if you know
about it you have probably given it little
thought. 1t is one of those things which
sometimes slip through Congress, and the
bang comes later
If this amendment were law Henry
Ford, who now pays about $8OO,OOO IN.
come taxes on an income OF Sl,OOO,OOO,
could be charged no more than $25O,OOO.
But Joe Smith, who now pays perhaps
$40 on his $1,000, could have his taxes
boosted to $500.
Of course, Congress wouldn't do any
thing like that to Joe, but under such q
law Congress could not collect much from
Henry.
If all our big-income boys can save
such huge sums by the enactment OF such
AN amendment, perhaps you can figure
how much they will kick in to fund to
get such a law across. Circulars have
been sent all over inviting contributions,
and YOU can expect a real campaign Tor
this amendment
To be adopted it must get by 70 per
cent of the state legislatures, SO even
though Congress sends it out you will still
have a chance in your home state.
So, do your stuff, but don't forget that
money talks.-East Bay Labor Journal.

OPEN FORU M

In an unsigned article entitled ''poiti-
cal Council Consolidates Work which
was published in the August Srd issue OF
The Montana Labor News the writer,
aHegedy Mr.. McMurphy played up one
member of the Butte Miners Union
legislative committee and four members
of the unions ladies auxiliary as being
the only really active political action
workers in Butte. The article, doubt
lessly written to create an impression
outside of Butte that the writer and
several of his friends are the leaders of
political action in our communities, is
"a slap on the face to many workers in
Butte who are active on the political
field. It is a particular slap on the face
to the progressive leaders, committee
men and members of Butte Miners Union
whose splendid efforts built and pOpu-
larized political action among Butte's
workers and their families. The un-
fortunate article caused great resent
inent in the Butte Miners Union. Its
brazen steal of credit for political action
and its obvious effort to purvey lie
that few individuals close to Nc
Murphy lead in political action, is too
much to leave unanswered.
For the information Of out-oftown
readers who might have read McMur-
phys article and got the wrong slant
on Butte's political action we will list
a few of the more outstanding contribu-
tions of the Butte Miners Union to po-
litical action.
The Butte Miners Union was the frs
labor organization in Montana to adopf
a resolution pledging full support ant
cooperation to the National CIO Politi
cal Action Committee and it, at tina
time, announced intention to form stat,
ana local political councils.
The Unions delegation to the Stat
CIO Political convention in May wer
instructed by the miners TO present
similar resolution at the convention
representing, besides the miners, tn
states oil, timber, brewery and typo
graphical union workers, adopted tn
Butte Miners Union resolution an
ordered the council heads to co-operat
with Jerry O'Connell in building politi
cal action.
The Union co-operated with Jerr,
OConnell in the work of registerin
voters. All officers of the Union joine
President Mason in issuing a statemen
calling on all miners to register and t
support the political action mOvemen
other outstanding committees of tn
Union issued similar statements
On two different occasions the Unio
sponsored mass meetings to build polit.

ated by President Bill Mason, was

The Union participated in formin

 k Supervises Huge Program
 That's what he was doing when he won his first political office, a judge of Jackson county court with administrative responsibil- ity over a multi-million dollar system of highways and drainage projects in and around Kansas City.
 Although he seldom discussed it, Truman took quiet pride in his Investigating committees work.
 "I know something about pub lie spending and costs" he told an interviewer when the war in- vestigation was at it's height, land I knew it before this committee started operating. When I was on the Jackson county court I was responsible for a S25 5000, ,OO0 highway program, and watched that, too"
 His committee objected to- "dol- lar-a-year men" on the ground that some of them received sala- ries from big business concerns and actually served as lobby ists" for private business inter- ests.
 Likes Mothers Tribute Best
 A committee report early in 1922 charged that government in- efficiency and private selfishness had seriously retarded Anricea's war production. While the com- mittee expressed confidence that the United States would be able to produce sufficient quantities to

Care. lessness and inefficiency have already cost us great deal and. if continued, can cost us much more, even though in the long run we will win the war because of the sheer extent of our re sources"
 Truman always said he would return to 'Grandview" when his public career ended. He enjoyed the life of farmer. Thousands of congratulatory messages came into his office during his long ipx vestigation of war spending, but he liked best the remark his mother once made when someone was discussing his senate career.
 ''That boy" she said, s'could blow the straightest row of corn in the county"
The Nome nugget., 1944-08-25

He attracted scant attention when he suggested that the Senate au- thorize committee to keep an eye on the mushrooming war in- dustries and subsequently, found himself the committees chairman.
 But 10 months 1ater--almost on the eye of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor--he jolted the na- ton with docunented report to the Senate charging waste and worse in millions of dollars of war contracts.
 It blasted the vaunted dollar a-year men who had gone to Washington to manage the war charged that slip-shod were pouring the na- tion's wealth into the building of an inferior air fleet, and depicted wasting of money and manpower in poorly organized, frequently conflicting national de- fense preparations.

A man who knew the value of dollar, Harry s. Truman made himself a job fighting extrava- gance and waste in the United States frenzied preparations for global war.
 And the job he did made a na- tional figure of the quiet, affable Senator from Missouri. Almost overnight he found himself trans ported from obscurity into the ranks of household names.
 Truman was beginning his sec- ond term in the Senate when the United States launched the big gest, costhest armament program in history at the start of the '4o's.

rnittee became the accepted watch dog of war spending. Its investi- gators stuck prying fingers into war plants, ship yards, army ana navy contracts. The committees activities led indirectly to the concentrating of war production authority in one man, war pro- duction chief Donald M Nelson.
 Behind it--quietly delighted with the comrnotion he had stir red-was a graying, bespectacled Missouri democrat who had gone to the Senate early In the Frank lin D. Roosevelt administration and made good on his prediction promise to do "lots of listening and mighty little talking"
 Never much of phrase-maker, Truman was one of the silent Senators" of his day. Rarely did he take the floor and, until the start of his war industries in vestigation. he made few public speeches outside his home state.
 Once he summed up his dis. closures of extravagant war spending in these words:
 
 "The chief difficulty in our war industrial program is usually the human factor. Suspicion, rival ries, apathy, greed lie behind most of the bottlenecks,

 His formal education ended after high schood, a circumstance he believed made him the avid reader he became. Studying was his lifetime hobby. During his first term he spent almost as
