Trades & Labor Council

Erickson Speaks on State Issues
It isn't often that a candidate for
Governor of the state of Montana is a
visitor to the Trades and Labor Council,
but the delegates last Tuesday were
treated to a fine address by Mr.. Left
Erickson, who at present is an associate
justice Of the Supreme Court but who is
seeking the position Of chief executive
of Montana on the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Erickson brought out the fallacy
Of the contention of some prominent Re
publicans that the balancing of the
budget is essential to prosperity. He
cautioned about balancing the federal
budget and u%nbalancing the peoples
budget. What he meant was that it is
essential for the people to be g%ainfully
employed and that they have money to
create an about consumption. The
speaker gave the impression that it is
quite useless to balance the national
budget through a system of unemploy-
ment, wage cutting and lowering the
standards of living.
In referring to state affairs, Mr.. Erick-
son felt that soldiers coming home on
furlough should be given the privilege
of fishing without being compelled to
buy a license. He felt that this could be
arranged through game wardens.
The speaker mentioned several cases
coming before the Supreme Court deal
ing with the workmen's compensation
act. He described quite in detail the
attitude of the court on compromise
settlements. The delegates we're quite
surprised when he explained that even
though a compromise settlement had
been arrived at that in some instances
the injured workman may reopen the
case.
Matt Buckley, former delegate to the
Council from the Bakers Union, gave
an interesting description of Army life
in Texas. Mr.. Buckley is home for a
few days.
He described the method of the Army
in feeding the soldiers and it was eX-
tremely interesting. He said that at one
time there were as many as 10000 men
in one field in Texas. Mr.. Buckley told
Of the opportunities offered in the armed

state university at Missoula August srd
TO 5th, according to word received from
James d. Graham, president Of the
Montana State Federation of Labor. Mr..
Graham in his communication urged all
the unions of the state to send delegates
to the institution.
A report was made in relation to the
schools and the Anaconda Copper Min
ing Company. It was brought out that
the matter at the present time is Just
Icing dormant and no new developments
have risen. An interesting sidelight on
this report related to a statement that
some of the city streets are being dam
aged by underground mining operations
and that the city should try and collect
money from the company for such
damage.
Montana labor news., 1944-06-22

forces particularly in reference to schools.
He said that many Of the soldiers are
given the privilege Of going to different
types Of schools where they can enlarge
their education and also get technical
training in some vocation.
Mr.. Buckley said that he visited MI.
and Mrs. Sullivan, the father and mother
of the five boys who lost their lives in
the Navy in the Pacific. He urged the
members Of the unions to be sure and
see a motion picture film woven around
the lives Of these boys.
There will be 10 meeting Of the Trades
and Labor Council Tuesday, July 4th.
A committee consisting Of E. c. Vaw-
ter, Steve Harvey, Frank White and
Charlie Gardner was appointed to attend
the meeting of the school board. This
committee was appointed at the request
of the Building Trades Council.
A resolution submitted by the Rocky
Mountain sportsman's association was
concurred in. 1t related to allowing sol
diers to fish while home on furlough
without having a license.
A request by Clarence Hanley, candi-
date for the Supreme Court IN the Demo
cratic ticket to be endorsed, was referred
to the Legislative committee.
