As We See 1t
 by THE STAFF

HIGH spot of last weeks activi- ties was the public hearing held Friday night on New Haven's bud- get for l946. Every A.F.L. union in New Haven was represented, as were the teachers, members of the clergy, representatives of the Parent Teachers Association, and others. Labor opposed the budget on the ground that the city employees are not receiving living wage. The hearing, together with the public statement issued by the Citizens Advisory Committee to the muni- cipal unions, made the people of New Haven conscious of the fact that city employees must be treat ed fairly and squarely. We predict that a large majority of aH city employees will join A.F.L. unions in the not distant future.
 THE Worcester (Mass.) Sunday TeIegranr's Happy Time Page, for children, had a poetic entry from l2-year-old boy that went like this:
 My dog is beautiful,
 My dog is grand,
 My dog is the best dog in
 the land.
 He is faithtuI,
 He is true,
 And I IOve her through and

 WHEN workers on the Bell Tele- phone system recently held four hour 'sdemonstration'' strike, para lyzing phone service, spokesmen of regular unions voiced the suspicion that the management had hand in engineering the walkOut.
 This week, leaders of both A. F. of l.. and C. l.. O. unions reported that the suspicious have been con- firmed by On-the-spOt checks made by their local representatives, who found that in many communities company supervisors encouraged the employees to quit work.
 The stoppage at the time was called by the National Federation of Telephone Workers, a self styled ''independent," but actual ly a ''dummy'' union. It was cal culated to intimidate the National Labor Relations Board into reject ing the findings of trial exami- ner who ruled that one of the N. F. T.

Harold V. Feinmark, secre- tary-treasurer of the Connects cut Federation of Labor, this week made public the follow ing self-explanatOry letter written to him by Mayor John W. Murphy of New Haven: ''Mr. Harold V. Feinmark, Secretary Treasurer,
 "COnnecticut Federation of Labor, ''6S5 Howard Avenue,

 Dear Harold:
 There seems to be a good deal Ot misunderstanding in regards to the application of the ordinance dealing with organizations repre- sentlng municipal employees. For that reason, l am writing to tell you that the City has definite plans in this field, and has had them for some time. How the confusion arose is more than l know, but I am glad to answer your request for claritcatiOn Of our policies,
 LABOR RELATIONS COMMIT
 TEES
 It IS, and has been, my intention to recommend to the Board ot Police Commissioners, the Board of Fire Commissioners, the Board of Educa- ton, and to all municipal boards who deal with organizations of City ern- ployeeS, that each board set up an Employee-Labor Relations Committee. as regular standing committee. For each board this committee will handle grievances, suggestions and other mat terS III the tleld of employee relation ships. These committees will meet regularly with committees from em- ployee organizations. It will be the duty ot the frSt-named committee to make recommendations to their re- Spective boards for action.
 VACATIONS, SICK LEAVE
 Fl have long felt that vacations and sick leave for municipal ena. plOyees are a part of normal work ing conditions. am glad to be able to tell you that the l946 budget contains funds for the installation Of system of paid vacations and sick leave for the members of the Police and Fire Departments. Fur thermOre, l have requested the re- spective unions in these depart ments to submit a proposed sched- uIe of paid vacations and sick leave. This we will discuss with the union representatives in detail, and install it to the utmost of our re- sources. This plan will go into ef- feet at the beginning of the fiscal year.

The Victory Organizing Cam paign" of the Connecticut State Build ing and Construction Trades Council is beginning to click, according to re- ports received by Sec. c.-Treas. James O'Kane. The campaign buttons, which each building trades union is obtain ing for its membership, are making their appearance in various parts of the state, and are arousing consider able interest.
 While active on the organizing front, the Building Trades Council is equally active on number of other fronts as we'll. Every effort is being made to see to it that all contracts let by the state contain a clause giving preference to resi- dents of Connecticut, and that the union rate is used in each case. A large number of locals have yet to send in their present scale to the State Council, and are taking the risk of having the incorrect rate for their craft included in contracts awarded by the state.
 END U. S. CONTROLS!
 On the legislative front, letters were sent this week by O'Kane to Connecticut's U. s. Senators, and to our six Representative in Congress, calling for the abolition of govern mental controls, particularly the Wage Adjustment Board, which still con- trols wage rates and working condi-

Strikers Get Help From

The Australian Labor government took an unprecedented diplomatic step when it allowed 702 striking h. donesian seamen and political inter nees to return to the Netherlands In- dies in British ship, Allied Labor News reports from Sydney.
 Responsible for the action, which leaves Dutch ships without crews, was pressure from Australian unions supporting the Indonesians in their fight against the restoration of Dutch colonial rule.

work because of illness, hospitaliza- tion, and surgical expenses.
 REAL ACHIEVEMENT
 This achievement, phenomenal in itself, was made at a time when industrial unrest is rife throughout the country, and when in other in- dustries labor and management are engaged, or are about to en- gage, in strife.
 Conferences for renewal of the agreement were held informally. On September 25, a formal conference was held in Danbury at which the h. ternational Officers and the local of hcers submitted to the employers a request for the wage increase and for the establishment of health and life insurance fund.

Executive Board Blames Unrest On Low Earnings
Says That Nation Has Had Enough Of Government
 By Emergency

CINCINNATI CPD = The A.F.L. executive council, in quarterly session here, has asked Pres. Truman to let the Natl. War Labor Board go out of existence and rid labor of all government controls over wages.
 END REGULATION
 Blaming present labor unrest on 'sgovernment's attempt to regulate the nations economic life as though the war emergency were to continue indefinitely the council said: eve are living in national atmosphere of fear-fear of infla- ton. That fear already has result ed in defiation-sharp def1ation of the income of the nations work CTS. Earnings of many workers have dropped overnight below the subsistence level. Under such con- ditiOns strikes are inevitable.
 "The government cannot enforce strict wage controls against the tide of natural economic forces. That would be vain and dangerous.
 Any attempt to legislate new life for the WLB would be strongly op- posed by the AFL, the council warned. The nation has had enough of government by emergency" it said. "The time has come to move in the opposite direction. The time has come for the people of America-in- cluding labor and management-to stand on their own feet instead of depending upon the government"
 TAX REDUCTION
 In another statement the council urged immediate action by Congress to slash taxes and called the Treas ury's tax plan preferable to that ap- proved by the House, although it rated both "basically unsatisfactory" :"
 The Treasury's plan, besides eliminating the normal S8o tax on personal income, would repeal the excess profits tax, ''thereby pro- viding a strong incentive for the launching of new business enter prises and the expansion of exist ing industries,e the council ex- plained. ''For temporary purposes this method is preferable to the House proposals for revising tax rates downward all along the line. y
 Both plans are faulty, the council said, because they fail to deal with the important problem of increasing personal exemptions. The average American citizen is now required to pay taxes on an income base which is far above his actual net income. The personal exemptions were reduced in wartime to point that did not at tempt to reflect the unacceptable cost of maintaining a home and family.
 ssCongress would never think of forcing corporations to pay taxes on gross incomes, before operating costs were deducted. but it has inn posed that intOlerable condition on the great masses of the American peopIe in the low-incOme groups who can least afford to carry the extra burden"
 Unusual importance attaches to the council sessions here since they re- place the annual AFL convention, cancelled because of the government wartime ban. In addition to mapping AFL policy for the labor-manage- ment conference in Washington Nov 5. and amplifying its legislative re- conversion, the council IS planning a full program of activities for the com ing months.

Stanolind Oil & Gas Company has
landed 9x-inch casing at 3571 feet
and is drilling ahead with heavy
duty rotary tools past 4461 feet, in
its wildcat on the Mizpah structure
in Powder River county, in south
eastern Montana south of Miles
City and only few miles north OF
Broadus.
Virtually all of the major oil
companies now operating in Mon
tana, and some that are not active,
joined last year in a wild leasing
furry in the area near this well.
Most of them jumped in with
their eyes shut and grabbed huge
protection blocks, paying 81 an acre
bonus plus leasing costs. Then, fol-
lowing Seismographing, most of
them threw up their acreage and
walked away, leaving the field to
Stanolind, which repeatedly has
about 100000 acres in its block.
The Stanolind location, made fol-
lowing extensive geophysical sur
veys, is in the center of an area
embracing several thousands of
square miles in which no conclu-
sive test has hitherto been drilled.

TOIU Was QlSCDNSiGu III hdoL
Chance Gulch-now Helena's main
street-on July IA, 1854 Offhand,
you would think that nearly 81
years of mining would not leave
enough gold in the area to fill
tooth. But that isn't the case. Be
fore the war. excavations for bust
ness buildings along Helena's wind
ing main street sometimes pro-
duced enough gold to pay for the
construction.
When the war production board
ordered a halt, all but one of the
eight huge gold dredges in the
Helena district suspended opera
tions. The eighth, on the shores of
nearby Hauser lake, also was pro
ducing sapphires for the war effort
and remained in operation until last
June.
Despite the shutdown, gold min
ers have continued efforts to devise
better recovery methods E. j.
Kelley, president of the Last
Chance Gold Mining association,
says that's why healthy postwar
revival of the industry can be ex-
pected.
"In normal times the gold mining
industry in Montana employed
around $500 men, and that does
not include marginal properties
which produce gold incidental to
other metals" he said. "a conserva-
tive estimate would be that more
than 5000 will be employed"
Dredge operators consider 20
cents in gold to the cubic yard of
gravel good production in this area.
A dredge can handle between $500
and 5000 cubic yards day. There
are smaller production methods for
individuals or small companies.
Kelley pointed to another future
opportunity in saying that, al
though great strides have been
made in development of gold re-
covery methods, it still remains for
some imaginative scientist or lucky
amateur to solve the golden secret
of the Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers in Montana and the Snake
river in Idaho.
There is an untold fortune in
flour gold in the upper stretches of
these rivers" he said. Flour gold
which looks like yellow mud on
black sand, is too fine to be recov,
cred by known methods; that is
any method which would make il
commercially feasible. This fine
gold has been found from the head
waters of the Missouri near Helena
as far away as Fort Benton "a dis
lance of some $50 miles to the
northeast) 1t has been found in the
Yellowstone from its headwaters In
northwestern Wyoming and alons
its course in southern Montana al
far east as Billings (more than 40t
miles,"
Montana's future development o
the yellow metal will depend large
ly on the returning servicemen.
