MISSOURI BASIN
u UEIOpMENT

All q meeting held in Denver last
week six state presidents OF the
Farmers Union, from states in the
Missouri river basin, including Presi-
dent Don Chapman of the Montana
Farmers Union, urged study and de-
velopment of integrated plans for de
velopment of all river basins in Amer
lea. beginning with the Missouri river.
The Farmers Union officials adopt
ed the following resolution:
The present drive to jam through
congress a plan for development of
the great Missouri River Basin for
navigation only is an unparalleled
raid on the nations basic wealth. 1t
would take from the people the great
est remaining natural resources Of
one-fifth of the area of the nation,
affecting not only this generation, but
all generations.
1t is particularly bold in the face
of the existence of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, which has, by inte-
grated all-purpose development of the
Tennessee river, developed each of
L0dL TlNeT pOLcHtldlllleS DtyObu cNCh
the promise of the various proponents
of the single-purpose development.
We are opposed to further un-inte-
grated construction or planning for
the Missouri River Basin. We ask
that all congressional appropriations,
except for emergency flood control
work, be withheld until unified plan
ming has been developed, assuring OPP
timum use of the river and its waters
for all of its beneficient purposes, in
Guiding flood control, irrigation, navi-
cation, conservation of natural re-
sources, reclamation, and power gen.
GRAFTON.
We direct the president of the Ma
tionH Farmers Union Immediately TO
appoint regional resources develop
ment committee to:

a constructive plan for the devel-
opment of all basins in America

|OF CHILDREN
RULES GIVEN

| HELENA.-With vacations near fol
thousands of school children in Mon
tana and with more job opportunities
for these young people at higher rates
of pay than ever before, a warning tC
employers to seek their own and the
children's best interests by complying
with state and federal laws regarding
the use of children's services was is
sued jointly by Henry A. Jaeger, in
spector in charge, Montana Division
of Labor, and l.. A. Hill, Minneapolis
regional director of the wage and
hour and public contracts divisions OF
the U. s. Department of Labor
"In their eagerness to aid in the
war effort and in their enthusiasm for
earning money, many children will be
applying for jobs for which they are
not physically or emotionally fitted,
Hill said. Parents, employers, state
and federal officials should cooperate
to restrain children from indulging in
the excuses of their own enthusiasm
in filling vacation jobs"
Summing up federal law relating to
the employment of children, Hill EN-.
phasized the following:
1. Generally the minimum age for
employment under the Fair Labor
Standards Act is 16 years of age;
however, children ID years of age and
older may be employed at certain jobs
and under certain conditions.
q m. IL 1
applies to most occupations connected
with explosive plants, motor-vehicle
drivers, coal mining, logging and saw
milling, operation of wood-cutting ma
chimes, and the use of radioactive sub
stances.
Concerning Montana state law re-
garding the use of children's services,
Yaeger drew particular attention to
the use of age certificates which
should be obtained from the state di-
vision of labor at Helena.
"The age certificate program, al
though compulsory under Montana
law, is primarily for the employers
protection" he said. age certificates
prove the age of the minors to the
employer so that he will not unwilling
ly employ a child under age for the
particular job to be done and they
act also as work permits"
Montana law also provides that no
child under the age of 16 years may
be employed at any time in or about
any mine, mill, smelter, workshop, fac
tory, any railroad passenger or freight
elevator, telegraph, telephone or mes
senger company, or in any like estab-
lishment in which hazardous machin-

AUTO USE STAMP
ON SALE
SATURDAY

Sale of auto use tax stamps of $500
viii begin on June 10, Lewis Penwell,
collector of internal revenue for the
district of Montana announced today.
Available in all postoffices and at the
office of the collector of internal rev.
enue in Helena, the stamps will evil
dence payment of the tax for the fis-
cal year beginning July 1, 1914. The
stamps, which must be purchased on
or before July 1, will be gummed on
the face, and will have provision on
the back for entry of make, model,
serial number and state license of the
vehicle.
Mr.. Penwell suggests that vehicle
owners, when affixing the stamps,
dampen the windshield rather than
the adhesive side of the stamp. This
method keeps the stamp intact, helps
guard against loss or theft. He also
recommends that each owner keep a
record of the serial number of his
stamp for protection in case of loss.
