Powerful Weapon

Nov. 4th marked the first of
a series of meetings of the Sc
attic Civic Committee with A. f.
Hardy, State War Manpower Di-
rector.
The purpose is to get neces-
sary data into this body's hand
to further the fight against I'M
ions who would keep us in the
500 classification of mentals
and laborers. The same evidence
is being used by the organiza-
ton in getting the FEPC to act
on this condition in these parts.
Nevertheless, it was pointed
out by one of the members of
the sec, this move was taken
merely to round out their meth
DDS of attack against those who
would keep us shoe sinners. The
first shot is a test court case in
the name of Ruby Black vs.. the

MILESTONE
CITES OIL
PRICE LAG

OF interest to Montana oil men
will be the following letter by Dan
milestone, sage of Glacier county,
publisher of the Cut Bank Pioneer
Press, chairman of the state repub-
lican committee and pusher-upper
of other activities too numerous to
mention, as printed In recent is
sue of the Christian Science Mont
tor:
l have read your editorial, "Oil
for Initiation" / publish a news
paper in the heart of the largest oil
field in the Mountain West and
naturally have been watching the
progress of the legislation to which
you refer.
You did not say so nor did you
imply that it is so, but other pub
locations opposed to the tipping in
crude prices have said that the big
oil interests were back of this
measure.
l do not think this is a fact. My
observation here is that they are i'm
different. Low crude prices are
forcing the Independents, the ''little
fellows" out of business very rap
idly and the big companies are alb
sorbing them. This does not seem
to be deliberate in design but 1t is
the logic of events.
When a little wildcatter meets
bad luck, when he does not get
production constantly, he cannot
stay in business, whereas the big
operators can absorb the shock.
When the little fellow does get pro-
duction-and then has to pay sew
eral kinds of state and federal taxes,
together with high wages, he must
have fair price to survive.
So summing it, my belief is that
the big oil interests eventually
benefit by high cost and low price
situation such as now prevails; they
viii in time have no competition
among the small and venturesome
Independents. Dan milestone.
