It starts to leave but Lew grabs me
an says You amt seen my packin'
plant yet, an with this he take me
thru another wire nettin' that fences
in a swamp. This swamp is full Of musk
rat houses an has piles of this carded
steel wool along the bank.
Lew wades out to some of these houses
and pulls EN- apart to show me he's
put packin' boxes in the top of 'em.
Then he comes back to shore an we
sit down an wait. Pretty soon here
comes a bunch of muskrats swimming
out from under their houses. They
come up, take a peep at the damage an
start for these piles of steel wool which
they roll up in little wads like they
think it's grass an swim out an start
putin it in the holes Lew made. Then
all Lew has to do is watch until they
fill the boxes, replace them with empties
an let EN- go at it again. Simple. Ell,
says Lew. Yep says I, an I'm gettin'
that way too.
Don't leave, says Lew, I'm powerful
lonely around here with nobody but Peg
Legs to talk to. You see We had to put
off lambin' till we could tan some elk
hide gloves for the lambers. They all
quit because they got fine steel wool
splinters in their hands whenever they
picked up a new lamb. But some day
things will be different.

THE MIRACLE OF AMERICAN
PRODUCTION

Two years ago the Axis nations chal-
lenged this country's fighting spirit and
discounted her genius for mass produc-
ton. They believed it would take five
years or more before the United States
could be serious factor in the war. They
are now learning by bitter experience the
error Of their judgments.
Not to %over-burden the reader with long
statistics on this question, we quote eX-
cerpts from an address delivered by James
f. Byrnes, director of War Mobilization,
on May 81, 1913, at Spartanburg, S.. G.
''Only by comparison with our achieve
ments in World War [ can we grasp the
progress of our efforts now. In World
War | our forces were equipped in very
Montana labor news., 1944-04-27

large part by arms and munitions lend
leased to us by our allies. In this war we
have had to assume the burden not only OF
equipping our own troops but of helping
equip our allies.
"We have, for example, shipped to lend
lease countries almost twice as many
motor vehicles as we produced for our
selves alone in the last war. If all these
vehicles were parked bumper to bumper
they would reach twice across North
America.
During this year, we will double the
size Of our fleet That accomplishment is
without parallel in history. These are
fighting ships-battleships aircraft car
riers, cruisers, destroyers, escort ships and
submarines. These do not include the
several thousand landing craft which have
been completed during the last five
months"
The production schedules achieved in
the last nine months, since the address
was delivered, out-stripped the amazing
figures quoted above to such AN extent,
that we are already confronted with Il
cutback in production in a number oil war
plants, especially in small-arms, tanks, IN
struments and certain types Of aircraft.
The problem is becoming very acute in the
small-arms plants, where the War depart
ment orders for cutbacks in the last few
days had brought layoffs to about 10000
workers.
We must also bear in mind, that the
miracle of achievement in production was
accomplished while from 5 to 10 million
of able bodied men, the flower of the youth
and manhood of our nation were not pro
ducing, but consuming the goods and
whose main function in the armed services
is to make good use Of all the weapons Of
war to destroy our enemies on the battle
fronts.-The Range Keeper.

well. sir. I'm so interested that be-
fore 7 knowed it I've excepted a invite
to eat dinner with Lew an look his
spread over. An I'm more surprise to
find out Lew amt so dirty about his
cookin' but he's sure savin' cause he
washed his hands before he made the
coffeen then made coffee out of the
water. Don't know what kind of meat
we ct but I ai'nt tried to sratch my ears
with my hind legs yet so I knowed it
amt coyote but I imagine a steady diet
might make a fellow want to play around
rock slides an whistle at strangers.
Here's where I meets Lewis pardner,
Peg Legs Slim, a long. hungry lookin'
fellow who's not only lost his legs but
most of his vocabulary or whatever you
call it. But when Lew takes me down
to his cardin' plant I sees right off he's
go a eye for business. They've sheered
a few pelts an hung the steel wool on
racks about a foot high an running
cross ways of this cardin plant shed
which is built just higher than a mans
head an about 100 #. long an 10 #.
wide. Down in one end Lewis built a
wire pen an this is full of porcupines-
which he turns loose iside this shed by
pullin' a trap door from the outside.
Now watch says he an you'll see the
simplest combin an cardin' plant in
America. Well I'm sure beginnin' to
pinch myself to see if I'm dreamin' when
I sees Peg Legs crawl in there with
those %porcupines an start millin' around
kicken EN- with those peg legs an maxim
EN- mad, all the time runnin' 'em
from one end of the shed to the other
till all that wool is a hangin' down
from those racks as pretty as tinsel on
a Christmas tree. All he needs to do to
shut the power off is herd the porcu-
pines back into the pen an throw 'em

RANCHER HAS
NOVEL INDUSTRY

The following article submitted by
Cecil Clark, well-known Butte author,
may test the belief of the most credulous
reader, however, to back up the authen-
ITCHY Of the story Mr.. Clark has sub
mitted to the Montana Labor News a
sample Of the product herein described
which is on display at the office Of the
Labor News on Harrison avenue:
Latigo Joe tells me he's ran across one
Of the strangest ranches he ever saw.
Now Joe isn't given much to THROWN
the bull but for fear it was due to a
shot Of that Mexico tequila that he
springs this tale I'm going to put it
down in his own words and let him
take any criticism that might be forth
coming. Says Joe:
Il knowed Loco Lew, the sheepherder
had save up a few dollars for a bunch Of
sheep of his own an had quit the
Mountain Sheep Ranch outfit but KNOWN
him as I do I just figered he'd gone
plumb loco tryin' to find the long end
of a square Shotgun an stampeded. An
when one of them gallopin' shepherd
ers stampede they can sure cover a lot
Of territory. They come from that strain
that was imported into the Horse Prairie
country before the wind wore the sage
brush down to where a human could
step over it, an gettin' so used to leapin'
over the brush it became their natural
gait which looks like a cross between a
gallop an a runnin' walk.
Imagine my surprise to ride up over

the fact that despite the vigilance Of
what he terms the state regulatory board
othe state railroad and public service
commission) the Montana Power Com
pany has always had two valuations, one
for taxation purposes which is close TO
the true value Of its property, and the
other for ~rate-making purposes, nearly
double the value used for taxation pur-
poses, and the State Railroad and Public
Service Commission has not seen fit to
inquire about these different valuations.
The absence Of State Commissioner
Paul T. Smith and A. F. Lamey, Mon
tana Power Company attorney and in
tervenor for the $500 preferred stock
holders has started many rumors, one
of which is that the two have gone to
Washington, at the request Of the Mon
tana Power company, to try and make
a compromise settlement with the Fed
eral Power Commission. If this is true,
the Montana Power Company officials
must have come to the conclusion that
their case is hopeless.

the crest Of Iron Mountain the other
day and see a bunch of the queerest
lookin' sheep a fellow ever set eyes on.
The early mornin' sun strike 'em Just
right to make 'em shine like they'd been
run through the san Francisco mint on
dollar day. They just mosie along slow,
like they're tired a packin' their hides
along an seem to be feedin' yet there
amt nothin' in sight to eat except that
soft iron dust that's as barren as a New
Deal promise. An I notice their bleat
has a kind Of a metal tone like droppin'
a bolt in a tin can.
while me an my horse is lookin' over
this strange sight who should .tir hisself
from behind a boulder but old Loco
Lew. He comes gallopin' up an almost
'spooked' my horse when it sees him an
it's all I can do to hold that pony till I
gets him around where he don't get Lewis
wind-Lew's still so dirty that a fellow
needs plenty ventilation between you
an him. He's so tickled at SEEM me
that when he shakes my hand he shakes
so hard 1 a hear pieces of dirt breakin'
off of some Of the inside layers of over
alls he's got 0 nan rollin' down onto his
boots like clods on a galvanized roof.
"'Gosh all might but I'm sure glad
to see you says Lew, AN to think you're
one of the first to see that my (speri-
ment) worked You're experiment says
I, are you plumb gone or is it this high
altitude? All Lew could say was steel
wool, steel wool, see I've done it," an
he points to the sheep. Well it all
dawns on me now an I remembers when
he used to talk Of runnin' a bunch Of
sheep on Iron Mountain an raisin' steel
wool. This is about the time the New
Deal is gettin' a good start so I'm used
to talk like this an don't pay much
attention to professors and s%heepherders

MONTANA POWER
COMPANY HEARING

Monday the $500 preferred stockhold-
ers introduced their testimony and the
Federal Power Commission counsel OBJ
iected to most of it as irrevelant and
refrained from ross-examination except
in the case of Mr.. Brutsch.
Mr.. Walter Brutsch, vice president
and trustee officer of the National Bank
and Trust Company Of Helena, called as
a witness for the preferred stockholders
of the Montana Power Company, testi-
fled that the officials of the Montana
Power Company we're all honest men,
and that the state regulatory board Ghe
state railroad and public service com
mission) could be relied On to exercise
proper regulatory jurisdiction with re-
spect to the company's balance sheet.
On cross-examination Mr.. Brutsch tes-
titled that in passing upon securities Of
public utilities for investment by the
bank, the bank relied upon the figures
submitted by the company.
Mr.. Wahrenbrock then asked him:
"Mr. Brutsch, do I understand that you
feel that a balance sheet which reflects
$4,000, 900 more than has been invested
in a company makes an investment in
the company sounder?" Mr.. Brutsch
replied: "Wel, certainly, if you draw
your own conclusions based on the bal
ance sheet, you accept the figures as
correct-now if there was a write-up in
these that was wrong, then Of course
your impression would have to be COR
rected, surely"
Mr.. Brutsch is probably not aware of

This is a bitter experience for
America postal workers, but an all
too FAMILIAR experience.
1t is a particularly bitter dis
appointment for their families at
Christmas time, and the members of
Congress responsible for it are guilty
of shameful act of negligence and
discrimination.
The next Congress, convening in
January, should make it the FIRST
ORDER OF BUSINESS to put an
end to the prolonged disappoint-
ments and discouragements of the
nations postal workers.
1t is little short of national
CRIME that these essential, over
worked and underpaid employees of
the federal government should con-
tinue to be victims of congressional
negligence and discrimination, and
the new Congress should deal with
their cause according to its obvious
and acknowledged merits.

THE Legislative log jam at the close
Il of the 18th Congress prevented
action by the Senate on a measure
providing pay increases for postal
employees, and thus prolonged the
federal policy of injustice against
these vital government workers.
This is an unmitigated BE-
TRAVAIL of the most grievously
and inexcusably UNDERPAID
group of workers in the United
States.
The thousands of postal workers
who would have been beneficiaries
of this measure have not had an in
crease in basic pay for nearly twenty
years.
They actually work overtime at
lower rate of pay than that apply
ing to regular time.
Congress had every moral reason
to pass this bill.
1t had plenty of time to pass it.
The House of Representatives, in
fact, DID pass it in ample time.
But the Senate, to its shame,
simply did not get around to it until
