that these will represent the mini
mum of what Congress will pass.
Probably, it is said, after the
bills are reported they will be
amended along the Ball-Burton-
Hatch lines which will be even more
obnoxious to the union lobby than
the Truman proposals. But, as the
union lobby has used up all it's
stock of denunciatory adjectives
and epithetical nouns on the latter,
it will be rather at loss to express
itself concerning the amendments.
At least that is the way it seems
now to the aforesaid observers
who easily may be wrong again.

the proceedings through.
The Council went on record support
ing the National Federation of Federal
Employees in their request for larger
appropriation from Congress to give
them higher wages. At the present time
there are two bills in Congress, one in
the House and one in the Senate. The
federal employees are complaining that
the one in the House is not favorable.

Yellowstone County
Trades Council
Adopts Resolution

At the last meeting of the Yellow
stone County Trades and Labor Assemb-
ly the following resolution was adopted
RESOLUTION
We, your Legislative committee to
whom was referred some time ago a
QUESTIONABLE from the Northeastern
Montana Labor Relations Conference
and which invited our participation in
such an organization and in an open
forum, ETC. and to whom also was later
referred a lengthy telegram for irwin r.
Kuenzli, secretary treasurer of The
American Federation Of Teachers. and
AFL ordinations, beg leave to report
and recommend as follows:
We find that the Northeastern Mon
tana Labor Relations Conference is not
a bonafied AFL organization, is appar-
emily desined to impede legislative AFL
Teachers unions, as we'll as other AFL
unions and that while the Kalis9eu Cen
tral Labor Council is listed as one Of its
sponsring groups, this latter organiza-
tlon appears to have been a more or
less unwilling co-sponsor, now
We therefore recommend that this
assembly refrain from endorsing, siding
or condemning the Northeastern Mon
tana Labor Relations Conference, or any
forums conducted under such organiza-
ton.
We therefore recommend that a copy
Of this report and recommendations be
forwarded to irwin R. Kuenzli, secretary
treasurer of the American Federation of
Teachers at Chicago III. Finally we
recommend that a copy Of this report
be sent to the Treasure State Labor
journal at Kalispell, Mont, and to the
Montana Labor News at Butte, Mont.

FIRST LADY OF FRANCE AVOIDS
 ALI lEMELiGHT
Mime. DeGauIle Puts Her Home Duties Before
 Everything Else
By BARBARA WAGE
CAP EotUstca -es)

PARIS--Among the least known of the worlds first ladies is Mime. Therese de Gaulle, wife of the President of the French Provisional Government. M
 Because Mime. de Gaulle lives the purely domestic life of any good provincial wife in France, and be- cause she puts the comfort of her husband and three children before everything else, you hardly ever read about her in the newspapers.
 Slight, dark = haired, grey-eyed Mime. de Gaulle arrived in France by plane from Algiers September 2l with her daughters, Elizabeth and Marie. A son, Philippe, is a naval lieutenant.
 Since her arrival, she has been too busy to step into the lime light. There is the unassuming, modern house outside Paris to be put in order, her own furniture to be arranged, shopping to be done. There are meals which must be planned carefully in these days of short rations-the General eats both lunch and dinner at home. At all costs, good French wives see that their husbands are made com fortable.
 Behind her diffident, reserved manner, Mime. de Gaulle hides strength derived from deep spiritual life, and with her in their home the General finds peace from state troubles. Together they at tend mass, take long walks in the country
 Together they follow the career of their son, attached to the Le Clerc Division. Young de Cattle was one of the guard of honor when his father entered Paris
 Their elder daughter, Elizabeth finished school in England with a brilliant record this summer and then worked a short time in her fathers office at Algiers.
 An example of Mime. de Gaulle desire to remain out of the lime light was her refusal of seat of honor at the Fourteenth of July ceremonies in London. Instead, she watched French soldiers from the crowd, travelling to the celebration by bus instead of official car.

GREAT PICTURE : OF 'WlL50N" E
 AT 2oIH CENTURY

Heralded as the most important event in 50 years of motion pie ture history, Daryl F. Zanuck's Technicolor production of Wilson is scheduled to open tonight at the goth Century Theatre.
 More than two and one-half years in the making, the film-the greatest project ever undertaken by 20th Century -Fox-has shat tered all previous Hollywood pro- duction records.
 Heading the largest cast ever as- sembled for single motion picture (12,000 players are, Alexander Knox as Wilson; Charles Coburn as the Presidents intimate friend Professor Holm s'; Geraldine Fitzgerald as Edith Boiling Gait, Thomas Mitchell as Joseph Tu- multy, Wilson's secretary; Ruth Nelson as the first Mrs, Wilson; Sir Cedric Hardwioke as Senator Henry Cabot Lodge; Vincent Price as William Gibbs McAdoo; William Eythe as George Felton; and Mary Anderson as Eleanor Wilson.
 The story begins in 1909, with Wilson an inconspicious university president. It ends 12 years later, on the day he leaves office as President of the United States. In between, it moves through the dramatic kaleidoscope of events ranging in locale from a football field at Princeton, through the White House. and to the celebrated Hall of Mirrors at Versailles,
 All in all, 200 sets were construct ed including the largest interior set ever filmed-the Democratic Ma tional Convention of 1912. For the first time, the White House was photographed in sTechnicolor, thus lending ultra-authenticity to such settings as the Presidents room, the East Room and the Blue Room
