 SEDTTION IS UNLAWFUL
 Sabotage is governments third fear to remove. Alien agitatore unmuzzled in this country can be expected to start promoting reVo- lution as soon as hostilities have ceased. Many new-made Ameri- cans still hold slave-land notions and believe anything that in jures their employer helps them Arson, violence and vandalism should be restrained in years when life and liberty depend on eff; ciency

Only three dangers seem big enough to threaten Americas di- rect course to postwar prosper ity. They are CD scarcity of cap ital, @ loss of foreign markets. and (3) government bungling in matters of business. Two prev ious chapters of Looking Ahead" discussed the first two obstacles. Either of them could wreck Americas hope of world leadership: both can be avoided.
 The courage of our people 10 brave the first two hazards de- pends on knowing what govern ment means to do about the third By investing the cost of six months of war, industry can create the to 10 million neN jobs needed. Competent Ameri- can workers can make these jobs pay good wages and returns on the investment. Industry and la Dor can succeed together with favorable government regula- tions

PAYS TO BE READY

Stalllng and delaying at the wars end may. in three ways, stop all progress of labor and in- dustry back toward prosperity Indeed one obstruction can keep recovery from even starting, might wreck Private Enterprise before it starts.

to deprive the state and the board Of the
right to control the use Of the waters of
the Missouri river, and that the federal
district court had no jurisdiction Of this
case because it was an action against
the state.
The district court denied all of the
contentious of the state board and APP
pointed a master in chancery to hear
the case. The proof from the compay's
records showed that on the day when
complaint was filed about One-half Of
the total flow of the river was being
wasted, was flowing over its dams with
out being put to any use whatever and
that during any ordinary year about
one-third of the water Of the river
passing its plants was never used for
any purpose. 1t just flowed out Of the
state. 1t is not enough that a part Of
the water be used by a number, and in
particular by n specially favored user.
The full and complete use of all this
water for the good of all the people and
for the welfare of this entire valley must
be accomplished.
Based upon the report Of the master,
the district court decided the case in
favor of the power company. The de-
Montana labor news., 1944-04-20

cree granted to the company rights
which are much greater than the custo-
mary summe flow of the river, and
these rights so granted were so exces-
sive as to effectually take the control of
the river from the state and grant such
control to the power company. The
state board and the association were
enjoined from taking any water until
after all rights of the power company
were fully satisfied.
This decree proved to be so disastrous
to the farmers who need the water that
ali ew development of irrigation in the
area has been halted. Every farmer
who needed this water to produce his
crops knew before he planted them that
at the time when he needed the water
FOR his crops the power company had
only to say that it needed the water for
electrical purposes and it could take it
all away from him. Under such cOndi-
tions he dared not plant his crop nor
develop his land. And the state and its
board we're powerless to protect him
because of an injunction granted which
forbade the board from giving the neces-
sary water TO the farmer.

DEMAND AMPLE N
TO CONTINUE OPA

At the present time there is a vicious
campaign throughout the United States
being conducted by special interests who
seek to make a profit out of uncontrolled
prices to emasculate the effectiveness Of
the Office of Price Administration pro
gram. The most outstanding Of these
efforts are to break down and segregate
the duties authorized and now enjoyed by
the OPA and to transfer these duties to
numerous other government agencies
such as the function of the food program,
Of OPA, to the War Food Administration,
and the food %rationing program to the
Petroleum Administration Of Mr.. Ickes.
Such transfers Of functions would involve
the setting up of separate rationing
boards and in general make the price and
r%ationing program cumbersome, besides
placing an additional burden of cost III
consumers.
Another menace to the effectiveness Of
the OPA is the proposal to include a rider
to the extension Of the Price Control act
whereby the act would only be continued
if subsidies were eliminated. One factor
to which unions should be alert is the dam
ger Of Congress refusing to make adequate
appropriation to carry on a vigorous and
Montana labor news., 1944-04-20

competent price program. 1t would be
quite useless to enc the Price Control
act unless adequate funds were provided.
Attempts are being made to induce or to
threaten Congress to vitiate the act
through this means.
The fiscal appropriation for 1894 for
0PA was 1886, 100000. In breaking this
down to a per capita basis the figures show
that the program cost each individual
$1.14 while it is estimated that the saving
per capita through price control will be
$4,000 per individual.
Labor organizations especially should
place their congressman and senators defl-
nitely on record as to whether they are
going to support the peoples wishes in
strengthening the OPA or whether they
are going to join the e|ntrenched interests
to destroy it.
While the cost of living has risen alarm
ingly it would have been much worse had
it not been for government efforts to
check initiation. As an example, the value
of the dollar is now about Soc while dur
ing World War No. 1 it dropped to a
value of 40c. This merely means that in
the last war dollar only bought 40c
worth and in this war it buys Soc worth
of goods. 1t should be borne in mind also
that the major portion Of the raise in
prices occurred prior to the passage Of the
Price Control act by Congress in May
1912. Consumers are becoming indig-
nant over the subtle cheating by IN
facturers in practicing deterioration Of
quality and lowering of standards through
absence of authority by OPA to require
standard grade labelling. To illustrate,
the authority to require grade labelling was
taken away from OPA by Congress
through the Taft amendment. That au-
thority should be returned to the OPA for
the consumers to enjoy the OPA. The
seriousness of this kind of price increases
may be shown in children's clothes and
mems work clothes. A pair of o~veralls Of
good grade and durability which origin
ally cost $1.69 is now selling for the same
price but the grade is so poor that the
overalls last only a short time. What this
actually means is that the working people
are paying triple and sometimes more for
the garments they used to buy because
they have to buy them more often.

Who Owns the Waters
of the Missouri V

Continued From Page one
OF the water flowing in the Missouri
river, and that the use of all of said
water in each and every dam hereinbe-
fore described, is necessary for the uses
and purposes herein set forth; that the
uninterrupted and undiminished flow Of
said Missouri river at said times is neces-
sary and essential TO generate electrical
energy
The complaint then set forth that par
ticular water rights which the power
company claimed at such plants. These
water rights as filed and asserted greatly
exceeded the entire flow of the Missouri
river except in case of unusual and
extraordinary floods. The complaint de-
manded that the state board and the
association be enjoined from constructing
the dams or bitches needed or using this
water for irrigation and demanded that
the rights asserted by the power com
pany be approved and permanently es-
tablished.
The state board claimed that the
federal courts has not right to the
waters as claimed, had nc jurisdiction

associated organizations outside the
state have unlimited sources Of electrical
energy from which to draw in case Of
need. 1t has hydro-electric plants only
partially developed as at its Kerr plants,
and claims rights at Canyon Ferry cap
able of vast potential electrical power.
It controls gas fields and gas pipe lines
which are available and could by sup
Elemental steam plants supply any pos
sible shortage of electric power. The
farmer under the Broadwater project
must get his water for irrigation from
the Missouri river when he needs il or
not at all. He has no other source Of
supply. And without this necessary
water his crops are destroyed.
The circuit court of appeals in San
Francisco reversed the district court and
ordered the action dismissed against the
State Water Conservation Board. It
held that the federal court was without
jurisdiction as against this state board
and that the action was an action
against the state Of Montana.
Had the Judgment not been reversed
the injury caused by it would not have
been restricted to those farmers under
the Broadwater Missouri project, but it
would nave prevented such reasonable
development and growth as is based upon
further irrigation in the entire upper
Missouri river basin.

are too valuable for all the people to
