There is a bill now before the senate
of the United States (S1349) which
was introduced by Senators Pepper
ID. Fla.), Thomas d. Utah), Murray
ID. Montana), and Mead Cd. N. W. A
similar bill has also been introduced
to the house of representatives.
This bill asks that the congress of
the United States should amend the
wage and hours law, known as the
Thomas-Norton act of 1898. The
amendment provides that as soon as
it goes into effect, which is 12O days
after it is passed by congress, the min
imum wage of all employees should
be not less than 65 cents an hour; it. j
should be raised to 70 cents an hour
the second year; and after two years
the minimum should be rs cents an
hour. The amendment stipulates that
under no circumstances should the
minimum become the maximum and |
the passing of this law should not be
the occasion of lowering the wages of
people earning more than rs cents an
hour.
The bill also provides for a 40-hour
week for food workers who, up to now,

weeks a year and then finding them
selves jobless. The bill asks for a

A PLEA FOR A LIVING WAGE

Organized labor, supported by al
the progressive forces in the nation
have established powerful beach-heads
in the war against starvation wages
and poverty. But we still have long
way to go to attain final victory.
When we talk of poverty, what do
we mean?
We are talking of the condition of
millions of people who cannot afford
enough clothing in which they can ap-
pear in the street or church, a good
roof over their heads, medical care to
protect their health, educatio1 for
their children, insurance against ill
ness and death. We mean the people
who cannot even afford enough food
to eat.
Today, when we rightfully pride our
selves on the highest national income
in history, considerably more than half
of all our wage-earners are not get
ting enough income to assure them a
standard of living on which they can
continue without wrecking their
health.
Many experts in the cost of living
have figured out that family Of four
that is, wage-earner and his wife
and two small children, need each
week at the very least: $14.45 for
food; SAP for clothing; $685. for hous
ing; $3.5S for household operations;

Your Assignment

1. Write a Letter. Every time peo
pie ask us what they can do about al
most any important issue, we answer:
Write your congressman. We have
said it so often, it may begin to sound
monotonous. But it is still the most
important thing you can do.
You know very well that the enc.
mics of the Minimum Wage bill have
already written or wired your con.
gresham to vote against it.
Now it is your turn to tell the sena-
tors of your state and the representa-
tive of your congressional district
what you think and what you want.
2. Instead of Kissing Your Baby.
Next time your congressman comes
home arrange welcoming party for
him. Let him tell you whether he be-
lieves that people can live on wages
of less than 65 cents an hour Or bet
ter still, you tell him what living on
substandard wages means to you.
8. Let Other People Know. A plea
for living wage for everybody is

your sacred duty to let your neighbors
and your friends know about it.
q. At Your Next Union Meeting
Bring up this topic and ask your local
union to arrange community meetings
to discuss full-employment and the 65-
70 cents per hour minimum wage.
5. Don't Throw This Pamphlet Away.
Ring your neighbor's doorbell Let
him read it. Ask him to hand it on to
others. Obtain more copies from your
union and distribute them to the peo-
pie in your block.
6. Woe Unto Them. Woe unto them
who hate labor and wish to keep in
amending poverty those who make our
bread and our clothes and do all other
necessary work. Tell that to your SEN
ators and your congressman And tell
them, too, that you will keep them per-
sonally responsible to see to it that

Education of Veterans

The much talked about CT legisla
ton providing benefits for returning
veterans includes among other things
provisions for the education of qualify
ing veterans. This law is known as
Public Law 346 and is not to be con
fused with the educational provisions
Of the Vocational Rehabilitation act
known as Public Law 16, which will
be dealt with in another section (Vo-
cational Rehabilitation).
1. To qualify for educational bene-
fits under the CT Bill, the veteran
must have
(a) Been in active service since
September 16, 1910.
(b) Received a discharge other
than dishonorable.
(c) Had a minimum of 80 days
active service or been dis
charged for service incurred or
aggravated disability in less
than 80 days.
2. Period of educational training.
The length of the period of training
to which the veteran is entitled under
this bill is based on the length of ac.
tive service. All qualifying veterans
are entitled to at least one year az
months) of training. Those veterans
who were under rs at the time of their
induction are eligible for an additional
period of training over and above the
one-year equal to the length Of time
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1945-11-09

they were in active service. Four
years is the maximum and no benefits
extend beyond seven years after the
end of World War II. These veterans
who were % or over at the time of
their induction, who can prove their
education was interrupted, impeded or
delayed can, upon the presentation of
suitable proof obtain the same train
ing benefits as those who were under
25 at the time of their induction.
g. Choice of schools. Any qualifying
veteran under this act may select any
educational institution which is ap-
proved by the state in which it is To-
Gated or specifically approved by the
Veterans Administration. Any such
school does not have to be in the vet
Grams home state but he must pay his
own transportation. Also, the veteran
must meet the entrance requirements
of the school of his selection as well
as maintain the academic standard set
by the institution.
4. Course of training. The type of
course for which a veteran enrolls
rests entirely with him. 1t may be
any type for which a school will ac-
cept him and may be vocational or
general education. Further, the veter-
an may, with the approval of the Vet
Grams Administration, change his
course of study or change schools.
5. Payment of cost of education. The
cost of tuition, books, fees, etc, for
any such schooling up to $500 for an
academic year of nine months will be
paid for by the Veterans Administra-
ton If the veteran carries his school
work satisfactorily the books become
his property upon completion of the
course. All amounts paid on the vet
Grams behalf to the school of his
choice under this bill will be deducted
from federal bonus, if one is paid
to veterans.
g. Subsistence will e attending
school. If the veteran attends school
on a full-time basis, he will be given
a subsistence allowance of $50 per
month. If attendance is on a part
time basis, proportionate reduction
will be made in the subsistence al
lowance but in no event will a sub
sistence allowance be given for a
course equal to less than one-fourth of
a full-time course.
T. How to apply for educational ben
efits. If interested in obtaining edu-
cational benefits under the 81 bill, the
veteran should file Veterans Admins
tration Form 1850 with the Veterans
Administration office closest to his
home. This must be done within two
years after the end of the war or his
discharge, whichever is later.

paid trades. But the greatest number
of underpaid workers are in the con-
sumer-goods industries, in the service
industries, in the retail trades and
among white-collar workers. The
greatest number of the underpaid are
among the unorganized workers.
We talk of millions of people, of
their occupations and their earnings
None of this makes sense unless we
remember the people, the real people,
these figures and thse calculations
represent. How do these under-paid
Americans we talk about really live?
How do their small earnings affect
their lives?
Mrs. Irene Gillespie, pants maker of
Martinsville, Va, has been working
continuously for eight years. She
earns As cents per hour which comes
to SIS a week. With her earnings she
supports herself, her aged mother and
her three children. eff it were pos
sible for you to get IS cents an hour,
what would be the first thing you
would take care Off" Mrs. Gillespie
was asked. And she replied: 81
would first try to have the childrens
tonsils removed; next l would try to
get them a little more milk.
Mrs. Ruth Deckert, tomato sorter, of
Hlwood, Indiana, and her husband
work to support themselves and their
four children. When their 11-year-old
boy fell down and broke his arm, they
could not afford to pay the doctor for |
resetting it. my boy helped me pay
for it, she explained "He picked to-
matoes in the field for the farmers to
pay for his broken arm" The Deck
erts cannot afford medical care and
they cannot afford enough food to eat
unless they raise it after working
hours in their garden, and they cannot
afford any clothing for the adults. 1--WE

REPORT OF WORK
IN SUPREME
COURT FOR Week

October 23d-Lipman Coldwater and
others v. State Highway Commission
and others. Appealed from Gallatin
County, Bozeman. Majority opinion of
the court prepared by Justice Edwin
X. Cheadle. Justice Albert H. Ang-
stman concurred in part and dissent
ed in part.
Facts: This action arose out of the
death of Henrietta Coldwater as a re-
suit of the skidding from a state high
way of an automobile in which she
was a passenger The accident was
allegedly caused by the defective,
rough and slippery condition of such
highway and by the absence of signs
warning motorists of such dangerous
condition. The district court sustained
demurrers to the complaint and en-
tered a judgment of dismissal The
plaintiffs appealed.
Held: AS against the State High
way Commission, it was held that
such agency is an arm or branch of
the state and cannot be sued without
the states consent, which the legisla-
ture has not given. AS against the
members of the highway commission,
it was held that the individual mem
bers of the commission could not, in
the absence of legislative sanction, be
held liable unless a showing of actual,
willful or malicious negligence on
their part could be made. The negli-
gence complained of here is not of that
kind. The judgment was affirmed.
November Culinary E. Nesbitt v.
The City of Butte. Appealed from Sill
yer Bow County, Butte. Unanimous
opinion of the court prepared by JUS
tice Edwin K. Cheadle.
Held: The plaintiff sued the City
of Butte alleging that due to the city's
negligence in the construction and in
stallation of catchbasin the waters
from heavy rainstorm damaged the
real and personal property of the plain
tiff The jury found for the plaintiff
in the sum of $3.50 On appeal the
Supreme curt held that the maximum
damage found by competent evidence
could be but s1,467.90. A new trial
was therefore ordered unless within 80
days the plaintiff consented to the re-
duction of the judgment to S1,46790.
IL such consent is filed then the judy
ment, as modified, would be affirmed.

Mothers Heartache

My youngest girl, she's nine now,
goes straight to the piano when we go
to house where they have one. She
does want to learn to play the piano
so bad. I've thought and thought that
maybe | could save so cents or dollar
a week to buy a secondhand piano for
her, no matter how old and battered
it is. And that maybe l could see my
way clear to spend so cents a week on
music lessons for her. But try as hard
as | can, and save and squeeze,
haven't found way to do it yet.
Maybe I've been foolish to talk to you
people about music lessons for one of
my children when the main question
is getting enough to eat and wear, or
blankets to put on the bed, or even a
chair to sit on. But down in Tennessee
we love music and factory workers
don't live by bread alone any more
than anyone else does. | don't think
our soldiers and sailors want to come
back to a country where all anybody
can think about is how to get the next
meal. | think that after all they've
been through they'll want little
something for themselves and for
their children-a little pleasure, a lit
tie music"
2. The Better Paid Workers.
They who now already receive better
wages also have a greater stake in
this bill. For as long as there are I'M
1erpaid workers, the wage scale of all
is insecure. Any mans poverty is a
threat to every other mans security.
8. The Farmers. The farmers, too,
have a great stake in this bill. An
in wages for the underpaid
workers will result in the consumption
If more milk, more food of every
Kind and more clothing
