Union security clauses such as this
will omen up a new field Of trade union
negotiations and real security for the
men and women Of organized labor.
This new field of trade union security
can be broadened to include the mem
bers of the workers family, as well as
himself in the new medical program at
no cost to the worker or his family.
We further believe that once the labor
movement becomes aware of the poten-
tialities Of real security in this type OF
negotiations that we will be able to in
clude dental care at no cost to the
worker or his family.
The powerful Metal Trades Council
of the city of Seattle has gone on rec

SENATOR MURRAY
OFFERS PROGRAM TO
CONTROL EMPLOYERS

Senator James f. Murray( Mont)
recently proposed a two-point program,
calling for the use Of government sane
tions against corporations and other
employers who fail to increase the take
home pay of their workers.
Senator Murrays program is as fol-
lows:
Cd OPA should be directed to
reduce prices to offset any decrease
in average hourly wages resulting
from elimination of overtime wages
or downgrading of employees.
(2 Congress should amend the
tax law TO provide that any corpora
ton which refuses to bargain col
lectiely in good faith or refuses to
accent the mediation or voluntary
arbitration Offered by the secretary
of labor. is not entitled to the
carry-bacl and carry-forward tax
provisions with respect to the in
come of the year in which it so re-
fused
In commenting on these two points
Senator Murray expressed the beliei
that the first would encourage manage
ment to grant wage increases to oitse

hourly wages due to elimination OF
overtime or because of downgrading)
and would prevent any undue profit.
if industry refused to do So.
Concerning point two, the Senato
said. Tf corporations are to engage

or;red TO do so at their own expense.

MANY STATE FARMS
SANS ELECTRICITY

BOZEMAN-Since 4O,473 Montana
farms, or 72.9 per cent Of all farms in
the state, are still without central sta
tion electric service, Claude r. Wickard,
rural electrification administrator, has
allocated S9O3,924 for r. E. A. loans
which may be made to qualified bor-
rowers for rural identification in the
state during the fiscal year ending June
30, l946, the Montana agricultural ex-
tension service has been informed.
This is the states share in half of the
S2O00000O0 fund authorized for R. Z. A.
loans during the current fiscal year.
Under the federal rural -electrification
act, each state may share in the ailo-
Gated funds in the proportion which its
unelectrified farms bears to the total
number Of unelectrified farms in the
United States. r. E. A. estimates show
that 1871 ,l89 farms in the United States
still lack central station electric service.
In addition to loans which may be
made from the allocated funds, r. z. A.
points out that borrowers may obtain
loans from the unallocated funds
amounting to $lOO,OOOOOO for the cur
rent fiscal year.
Montana now has y r. E. A. bor-
rowers with lines and other rural cleo
trio facilities in operation. These sys-
TENS furnish electric power to 1857 con-
sumers. Estimates announced by Wick
ard show that 27.1 per cent of Montana
farms now have central station electric
service, as compared with SIS per cent
when the r. E. A. program was started
in 1885. However, the r. E. A. points
out that making electric power available
to unserved farms is only part Of the
rural electrification job in Montana,
since many nonfarm rural homes.
schools, churches and other rural es-
tablishments are without electricity.

Friend of Sailor,
Gone in Uniform

Ypsilanti police have been asked
20 assist the Ann Arbor police in
finding William Guthrie, who lives
at $50 Second Ave. He is a civil
ian wearing sailors uniform.
Guthrie met a friend OF his in
Ann Arbor. January s, who was
home on leave from the Navy. The
two old friends had much to talk
about, among other things was the
orders Guthrie had received to re-
port this week for induction into
the armed services.
Guthrie and his friend, Glynn
Crsighead, decided it would be fun
to change clothes, since Guthrie
would like 10 know how he would
look in uniform, and Craishesd
thought It would be nice to again
be in "civies". Sometime after
the "switcheroo' however, Guthrie
disappeared, uniform and furlough
papers with him. This left Craig
head. a veteran OF three years in
tie Navy, with nothing but suit
OF civilian clothes and an order TO
report for induction.
Although police Of both cities
have expended every effort to find
Guthrie, he is still AWOL.
