Mine Workers Win
5 to | In Saturday S
Labor Election

Ghosts OF labor baiters a n d
gunner Of other days, now all
gone, must have paced uneasily
through griny Clinchco last Sat-
urday while the Labor Board
was holding the fourth election
there to determine whether the
workers should be represented
by the United Mine Workers,
the Independent Union or no UNI
ion at all. There was different
spirit in the air, and when h G
final vote was counted it was
found that the UMWA had won
by a majority of five to one.
The vote count showed the fol-
lowing result:
United Mine Workers 567
Independent Union .., 127
No union at all ...... 40
Out of total of 905 workers
qualified to vote in the election
734 turned out to cast their bal
lots.
Saturdays election ends a cam
paign of ten years duration to
organize the mining operations
at Dante and Cinchco, and was
the fourth such election to be
held in this connection. In Sep
TENDER of last year, the Dante
mine workers voted 608 to 178
in favor Of the United Mine
Workers, while Clinchco reject
ed that union by a majority Of
81.
Controlling interest in CGnch-
field Coal Corp. was bought by
the Pittson Company of Pitts
burg Pa, late last year, and the
new management has offered no
opposition to the union. 1t is re-
ported that they favor the union
because they can operate at less
expense with it.

Nine LABOR AREAS TO BE
Hardest HIT BY END
OF WAR PRODUCTION

ASHIN TON, Aug. %
(ANP). - The War Manpower
commission has identified the nine
"distressed" areas out of the 166
principal labor market areas which
are expected to feel the heaviest
impact of unemployment by Oct. Is
occasioned by the ending of the war.
According to Paul V. McNutt,
VINO chairman, these nine areas
will suffer reduction of between
20 and 25 per cent in the work
force.
The postwar survey shows these
areas as follows: Portland, Me. I;
Buffalo Niagara Falls, N. Y; Pan
anna City, Fla; Detroit and Flint,
Mich; Talladega, Ala; Wichita,
Kan; Los Angeles and Portland,
Ore.
The survey indicates that by Oct.
Is, 50 areas will be ''labor surplus
areas" with II to 20 per cent of the
work force jobless; that n areas
will be ''in balance" with from five
to IL per cent unemployed, and that
nine areas will be classified as
stringent" that is, with unemploy-
ment less than four per cent and an
actual shortage of labor for impor-
tant jobs.

to be more efficient fighting man
and citizen. AS consequence of the
cessation of hostilities in Europe,
there is a new objective as we'll. The
period that our soldiers spend
awaiting transportation back to
this country and the off-duty time
of our Army of Occupation will be
amply filled by broad program of
Special Services activities.
Athletics, Recreation, Soldier
Shows, Soldier Music, and Handi-
crafts are included in the Special
Service program. This program
aims to provide the soldier with
enough opportunities for partici-
patton in activities of his own choos-
ing.

More Labor,
More BeetS
Goal I'm as

Larger Montana beet acreage
in 1945 and more workers for the
beet fields vas the goal established
by the Montana farm labor COM
mittee at a recent meeting in
Helena.
The committee, recognizing the
need for increased acreage to stave
off a predicted sugar shortage in
1945. endorsed a war food admin
istration request for 10000 acres of
beets. a 10 percent increase over the
$4,000 acres planted this year.
To plant, block, thin and harvest
these beets would require an esti-
mated $3.50 war prisoners and 4,400
Mexican nationals compared with a
total of 2,525 war prisoners and $500
Mexican nationals used in 1914. The
committee said for the first time an
appeal is being made for increased
beet acreageS, a situation which has
not occurred in the past.
Also discussed at the meeting were
ranch labor supplies and grain har-
vest labor for 1945. The committee
commended Gov. Sam Ford for his
work in obtaining sugar beet labor
and lauded the efforts of the office
of war labor and extension service.
A. H. Kruse. state commissioner OF
agriculture, is chairman of the COM
mitJee.

With Sixth Army
Group in France

A press release from the Sixth
army group in France, states that
Pfc. Alvin Long Of Oswego is a
member of the 397th infantry
regiment of the Tooth Century
division, one of the newest units
fighting recently on the Seventh
army front in eastern Europe.
Pfc. Longs outfit was among
those that applied the squeeze
play" to the German 18th army
early in December.
While French troops spearheaded
drives through the Saverne pass in
the north and the Belfort gap to
the south, the 397th was in the
push" against thousands of Nazi
troops in the middle and got its
baptism Of fire in the dense forests
Of the Vosges mountains in the
vicinity of Baccarat.
Fighting conditions were tough.
The seth faced innumerable land
mines, BOBBY traps and well pre-
pared defense installations and
fought in rain and mud. But the
unit battled through and put it
self on the road to Strasbourg and
the Rhine.

College Is Prepared
to Serve Homecoming Vets

HAVRE.-.Northern Montana COL
lege has completed preparations for
the education of returning veterans
from all branches of the service I'M
der the provisions of the "G.I. bill
and also the vocational rehabilita-
ton bill" The college is fully &C
credited and has provided three di-
tinct types of curses that are es-
pecially adapted to the various needs
of men and women returning from
the several branches of the service.
The first group of courses consists
of the professional and pre-profes-
sional programs previously offered
at the college in such fields as pre-
agriculture, arts and nursing, bust
ness administration, chemistry, pre-
dentistry, pre-medicine, pre-law,
chemical engineering, civil engineer
ing, electrical engineering, industrial

OPA Lists Ration Stamps That
Remain Good, Those Cancelled

Housewives are urged to destroy
all food ration stamps that have
been declared invalid, the office of
price administration said today. Use
of these stamps by consumers, as
well as acceptance of them by re-
t~ailers, is a violation OF rationing
regulations, OPA said.
At the same time, OPA explained
that red ration tokens continue good
and housewives may use them for
buying meats-fats. Grocers will con-
tinue to give them to housewives as
change for the red 10-point stamps.
Blue ration tokens, however, have
not been good since Oct. l and,
therefore, cannot be used for canned
fruits and vegetables. They are no
longer needed as change for the 10
point blue ration stamps used for
processed foods because point values
for these items are set in multipleS
of ten.
Ration stamps which were in
validated and which are not good
for consumer use are:
RED STAMPS - A8 through z8
and AS through P5.
BLUE STAMPS - AS through z8
and AS through WIS
SUGAR STAMPS 80, 81, 80, 80 and
40, along with all home canning
coupons outstanding.
Stamps continuing to be good and
those made good this week are:
RED STAMPS - Q5, RS and SIS,
which became good Dec. 8. In ad-
five more red stamps-T5, US,
VS., WIS and X5-became good Sun
day, Dec. 81.
BLUE STAMPS-X5, VS., rs, Az
and b. In addition, five more blue
stamps-C2, DE-, E2, F2 and G2-be-
came good Monday. Jan. l.
SUGAR STAMPS-No. "a, which
became good on Nov. 16. Another
stamp will become good ON
Feb. l, 1915.
Expiration dates have not been
set for the stamps that still remain
good.

WHOM does your congressional
representative represent? This is
a fair and timely question, more
over, not as silly as it sounds.
He is supposed to represent you
and a few thousand other people
in your county and nearby coun-
ties, but does he do it? If so, how
does he go about it? How does he
know what the people who elect
him think about questions he
must help decide? Q
OF course congressman all have
plenty of people to tell them
what to do. Whenever a congress-
mar is appointed to an important
committee, he can be sure of one
thing: a line will form outside
his door; a line of people waiting
to tell him which side of his
bread is buttered, show him very
startling statistics, shout care
words in his ears and/or shed
tears on his desk.

know several Of them and, all
told, l have known a great many.
Every one / ever knew wanted
sincerely to represent them ably.
They were smart men but there
was not a mind reader among
them. None could sit in Washing
ton and have a very clear idea
what the electors expected of
him.
In a few words, the average
congressman gets plenty Of adj
vice offered to him and very little
of it comes from the right place.
In rare instances when somebody
writes or wires him from back
