of life than for the sport of hunt
ing and fishing.
NV father who had b en- a
hunter as well as fisherman, all
his life. died long before l had be-
come old enough to go with him
in search of game; but l we'll re-
member him showing me how to
put the worm on the hook, so that
the point and barb would be con-
cealed within the thick end of the
worm and leave the thinner end
free to wiggle about as an ire
sistible dinner invitation to little
perchies and trOuties.
His Nimrodian spirit l inherited
not from observation, therefore,
but rather from his vivid descrip-
tons of experiences while hunt
ing. Listening to his exciting tales
of tracking the elusive moose, or
bear. as he would relate them to
groups of neighbors before the
open fireplace during the long
winter evenings, added vitamins
to that same spirit until it grew
into a permanent part of ny con-
stitution.
The first money I ever earned
came as a result of my endeaVors
as a hunter. Following the exam
pie of many of our neighbors, l
set a line of snares each fall for
the purpose of catching grouse
blackjack and capercailzie. In
mid-Winter the blizzards and heavy
snowfalls on the mountains often
drove ptarmigans down into the
valleys and many of them would
get their necks fatally entangled
in the white snares l had prepared
for them in artificially arranged
birch twigs along the hillsides
The white snares We're made
from hairs surreptitiously jerked
out from the tails of white horses
Shares that were used for grouse
and other game birds before snow
had fallen We're made from the
tails Of black horses. By the way
all fishing lines I ever saw as a
boy We're made from black horse
tails Any boy who couldn't make
his own fish line was considered
either a sissy or afraid Of horses
which meant about the same
thing.
I was the proud owner of more
than two hundred snares of each
kind. black and white, which may
give an idea of the magnitude Of
the industry Of game bird hunting

Practically all the birds caught

conferences which open here tomor-
row, the problem of development
and control of atomic energy, and
relations with Russia. London re-
ports said Prime Minister Clement
Attlee might come to Washington
early next month to discuss the
atomic bomb with Mr.. Truman.
While Mr.. Truman worked on his
important wage-price speech, CIO
President Philip Murray indirectly
suggested the president make pub
lie in his speech the recent report
of government economists which
showed industry could raise wage
rates "a per cent without boosting
prices.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-10-30

and others planned for late Novem-
ber apd early December, because of
"the pressure of official business,
the labor situation, the labor-man-
agement conference and number
of other things"
Mr.. Truman's most immediate
and pressing problem was the wave
of reconversion strikes and threat
ened stoppages growing out of or
ganized labor's demand for 80 per
cent wage increases to compensate
for loss of wartime take-home pay.
On the international side are the

Mr.. Truman will recommend, it
was said, that price increases be al
lowed only in cases where producers
are squeezed by wage raises and
present price ceilings. Even then
the producer must prove need for
price relief. This would be done
through existing machinery-the
wage stabilization branch of the
War Labor Board, the OPA, and the
Office of Economic Sterilization.
The disclosure came as Mr.. Tru-
man, confronted by urgent domestic
and international problems, cancel
led all his scheduled trips for the
next six weeks and prepared to re-
veal to nationwide radio audience
at 10 pm. EST tomorrow his long
awaited reconversion wage-price
formula.
His decision came as the CIO
exerted new pressure for wage in
creases by asking for a strike vote
in the reconversion-vital steel in
dustry.
The White House said Mr.. Tru-
man had called off his trips, includ-
ing one to the south this week end

SOUTHERN CHURCH TO GET
CHRIST FIGURE BY
NEGRO Sculptor

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 (ANP) =
Richmond Barthe, the sculptor, is
working on life sized figure of
Christ, six feet tall. The first
bronze of the figure is to be erected
in Church of st. Jude, Catholic
church of Montgomery, Ala. 1t
probably will be the first Christ
ever installed in a similar church
by sculptor of the race, but it bids
fair to be the forerunner of many
more, for even in it's unfinished
state, it is attracting the favorable
attention of many Catholics who
have had an opportunity of seeing
it.
The pastor of ST. Jude, Father
Purcell, white, has said that he
plans to lay a tablet before the
staute, bearing the legend that it
was done by Negro Catholic art
list. He wants to place it there for
the inspiration which he believes it
will mean to the colored boys and
girls who attend ST. Jude and the
school connected with it.
Barthe had refused commission
running into four figures for
the Christ because the purchaser
wished to use it for statutes in a
cemetery.
II had rather produce this figure
for churches where it can carry a
message to the living, for nothing,
than to have it standing about in
cemeteries" the sculptor said. A
believer in things spiritual, he re-
ceived less than a month later a
commission from a Newark church
for a statue of Monsignor White
which ran much higher than the
one he had turned down.
81 had dreamed of this Christ fol
years." explained Barthe. ellis
figure is masculine, simple, spirit
ual and Jewish.

WASHINGTON.-Preli nj nary esti-
mates Of new construction volume in the
United States in 1915, based on the as
sumption that war on both fronts will
continue throughout the year, indicate
an activity volume Of s3,250000 0OO the
WPB has reported The volume fore
cast for l945 is the lowest volume Of
construction since 1885.
This estimated activity is 80 per cent
Of the 1914 volume and "a per cent Of
the peak 1912 performance Almost half
the 1945 volume will be accounted for
by privately financed work as contrasted
to 40 per cent in 1914 and 20 per cent
in l942 and l943
Construction activity generated by
purely military requirements is expected
to be about third less in l945 than in
1914, both for industrial and non-indus-
trial work Activity in the construction
categories for essential civilian and in
direct war purposes is expected to con-
tinue in 1945 at about the 1914 rate,

the old farmer started TO count out an

of the pail Finally, he reached bottom
and stopped very much upset. 'Why,

News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

A fine report was made by James Quill
on a meeting held at Helena last Sun
day on the Missouri Valley Authority.
Mr. Quill gave a comprehensive picture
of what had been accomplished by the
Tennessee Valley Authority and implied
that the benefits which had accrued in
Tennessee could be duplicated in Mon
tana, but tina tthe powerful corporations,
especially the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company and the Montana Power Com
pany were opposing it. The report eX-
planned that if the National Congress
passed an act creating the Missouri Val
ley Authority it would be the means of
building dams. preventing erosion, devel-
oping mineral resources, reducing taxes,
increasing agricultural output, doubling
the population and altogether make
Montana a better state. The selfish at
titude of the ACM and the craven do
cility of the Legislature in passing a
memorial opposing the establishment OF
the MVA were assailed.
On the same subject the Miners dele
gates reported about meeting that had
been held in Helena at which 700 people
had appeared including the farmers
union. The Miners said there was much
flag waving and hypocritical statements
about state rights, etc. The CIO unions
of the state were represented in the
meeting. The Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council took out membership in
the MVA association and the secretary
was instructed to inform Mrs. Gilfeather
The delegates we're advised to buy book
entitled iva on the March, which is a
history of what has been accomplished
in the Tennessee valley.
The legislative committee recommend
ed that the Council oppose any increase
in fishing and game license fees and the
Council concurred in the report.
Under the same report House Bill NO
301 was read. This bill is designed to bt
an addition or supplement to the pres
ent Unemployment Compensation Aci
and is entitled THE Montana Cash Sick
ness and Disability Compensation Sys-
tenn" The proposed bill was lashed tt
pieces by the delegates, because the
whole cost of receiving the benefits
when a worker is sick is imposed upor
the employees. 1t was explained thai
apparently the bill had the approval Of
the Anaconda Copper Mining Company
