Enemy Orders

Final Stand

LONDON, March 28.-(P)-Four
hundred U. S. Flying Fortresses
struck enemy armament plants in
Berlin today in the fifth major
daylight assault this year on the
Quilted Reich citadel. All super
fluous" residents were ordered by
the Germans to flee the dying Ma
ii capital.
The new evacuation plans were
broadcast to Berliners by the Ger
man radio after the attack, which
boosted the total bomb weight
hurled on the capital since the
start OF the war to almost $4,000
tons-more than the Germans have
dropped on the whole of England

Nowadays, especially in the Company
papers, we see quite a bit Of sarcasm about
people not wanting to go to work and
criticizing some Of the workers for their
Indifference. DO you remember the de-
preston? DO you remember that it was
almost an insult for the jObless to ask for
a Job? Do you remember how calloused
the Companies were Of the people in their
desperation for a job! Here's a sample
of what the capitalist papers are saying
now in their syndicated articles:
"Wonderingly, l checked my home town
and found many workers from the torpedo
plant did not want the hundreds Of jobs
offered in allring advertisements saying,
we will ride you to work, viii pay
while you are training and We have
the incest room and bath and will pay you
500 $25, or $50 with all your living eX-
penses if you will just come help with the
housework'."
1t is a safe bet that the writer Of this
trash never worked at hOusework, espe-
cially in some of the homes on the west
side of Butte The treatment Of some Of
the domestics during the depression by
well-to-do people in Butte was nothing
short of criminal, and the subject often
came up in the Trades and Labor Council.

Isn't it strange that the Anaconda Cop
per Mining Company and the Montana
Power along with the rest Of the plunder-
bund should shed such crocodile tears over
the welfare of the State of Montana and
its people yet obstruct every move which
would be helpful to the state and its peo-
pie?
Why should the Company oppose the
effort Of the Federal Power Commission
to take some of the water out Of the finan-
cial setup Of the Montana Power? Why
were the owners of preferred shares asked
to chip into a pool to defray expenses Of
the hearing when the position Of these
preferred shareholders would be strength
ened by the water letting, and why hasn't
the State Railroad and Public Service
Commission lowered the rates in accord
ance with the new valuation of the Mon

MONTANANS BENEFIT
UNDER SOCIAL
SECURITY ACT

Among the Rocky Mountain States,
Montana now ranks third in the pay
ment of old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits under the Social Security
Act, according to am announcement by
Patrick J. Shafer, manager of the Butte
field office
The state has a greater number of
aged retired workers receiving larger
monthly payments and has larger
number OF aged widows and aged de-
pendent parents receiving more in
monthly payments than any other state
Of the region, except Colorado
Individuals qualifying for monthly
benefits as the aged wife, young widow,
minor child and for lump sum death
payments in Montana, are exceeded in
number and amount only in Utah and
Colorado. Mr.. Shafer explained that
this is due to larger populations and
family characteristics of these states.
OF real Importance to Montanans is the
fact that average monthly payments in
Montana are generally higher than in
other states OF the region. lie stated A:
This is the direct result of steadier
employment and higher wages prevail
ing throughout Montana at all times.
The benefit is determined by the aver
age monthly wage OF the worker in
volved.
Types and amounts OF regular pay
ments now made each month in the state
are listed as follows: 1870 retired aged
workers receive $43,595.7l; 443 aged
wives OF retired workers receive S5637-
"a; LISP minor children receive Sl4-
9440O; 233 aged widows receive S4
S4625; 449 young widowed mothers re-
ceive $9,2l397; IS aged parents receive
S2O542.
Monthly insurance payments totalling
%S44239 are being made TO ALI Mon
tanans at this time. In addition, during
the June quarter, lO7 Montanans re-
ceiyed lump sum death payments
amounting to Sl4,0S96l.
Mr. Shafer predicts a considerable in
crease in the number OF retirements
during the reconversion period These
retirements will be the direct result OF
employment adjustments when older
workers are replaced by younger men,
and aged workers voluntarily retire
Substantially all retirements during
the war period were due to i'll health
or disability" Mr.. Shafer stated. Most
able-bodied workers wanted to stay on
their jobs to help win the war This
incentive is gone now and many will
want to retire to make way for return
ing servicemen as well as displaced wal
workers" he asserted
Because OF impending employment
djustnents and general wage out-backs
Mr. Shafer urges all workers who ar,
approaching or are age 65 or over, tC
contact his office Immediately if ther,
is any change in their employment
status or if they have a reduction o.
wages due to a shorter work week OF
loss Of overtime pay. lie said his ofiic'
will be pleased to advise them as t,
what they should do to protect thei
insurance rights He also state tina

Since Macarthur ordered the Japa-
