News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

The Trades and Labor Council re-
affirmed its endorsement Of Mr.. Barry
O'Leary, Democratic candidate for
mayor. The action was occasioned by a
letter received from Mr.. OTeary in
which he expressed his appreciation to
the unions for their support in the pri-
mary election.
A communication from the Labor
League for Human Rights, suggesting
the trades council donate some money
to the American Red Cross was filed.
The Trades Council took the psition that
inasmuch as its affiliated unions donate
to the Red Cross that it was merely
duplicating the contribution when the
trades council also gave.
A suggestion that the Trades and La
Dor Council participate with the Demo
cratic State Central committee in the
Observance of National Democratic Day
to be held on the anniversary Of Jeffer-
sons birthday was filed. The council
took the position that it should not be-
come involved in partisan politics. either
Democrat. Republican. Socialist or Com
munist.
quite a long letter was received from
the Cascade County Missouri valley
Authority which includes the Montana
Farmers Union, Cascade County Trades
and Labor Assembly and the Great Falls
Mil and Smeltermen's Union explaining
the value of creating a MVA and also
supporting a measure now in the united
States Congress to establish such an
authority. The letter was accompanied
by a resolution which was adopted by
the council and which is as follows;
Whereas. Business, industry, farmers
and workers of the states comprising the
Tennessee Valley are unanimous in their
praise Of the benefits to the entire area,
through the development by iva, and
Whereas, A bill has been introduced in
Congress which would set up a Missouri
Valley Authority patterned after iva
and
Whereas, The states comprising the
Missouri Valley drainage area have far
greater natural resources than any OF
the states comprising the iva, and the
development of these natural resources
would open new frontiers of commerce,
industry and agriculture which would
give employment to our returning sol
diers, and
Whereas, Opposition to this national
project has developed from a group
whom we believe are influenced by the
great power and other selfish interests
DESTROYS Of monopolistic control Of our
great streams, power sites and other
natural resources, and which in the case
Of the irrigation dam at TOston, Mont,
gives us foundation for this belief; also
the act that hydroelectric power sites are
and have been under %monopOlistic con-
troll, thereby depriving the people Of full
use and benefit Of these most important
natural resources, and
Whereas, 1t is our considered opinion
that the interests Of irrigation, naviga-
ton. flood control and power develop
ment can be best served by the estab-
lishment Of one authority with full au-
thority to develop and preserve the peo-
pies interests; therefore be it
Resolved, That we urge and request
Congress to establish a Missouri Valley
Authority patterned after the tennessee
valley Authority, designed for the def
mite purpose Of a c~o-ordinated develop
ment Of the natural resources Of the
Missouri Valley area for the benefit Of
