Impartial Fact Finding Board

President Truman this week proposed the appointment
of impartial factndng board to investigate the
of strikes and threatened in the future in the
major industries of the United States
This proposal has been condemned by the leadership of
major labor organizations and President Murray
the c. o. has minced words phrases in stating the
objections of that organization to the plan And the President
will have hard time challenging the legitimacy of the
given by Murray for opposing his proposal
First and foremost the informed American public knows
that the strike in General Motors nothing but sdown
strike by the industry And evidently G. M has succeeded
getting the other larger automobile manufacturing industries
follow it's policy refusing bargain with the striking
mobile workers for holding it's policy that any wage
to by the industry to be granted without
increasing the prices of automobiles to the public that such
increases shall be paid of the tremendous accumua
ton of profits made by the industry during its production
years
The automobile manufacturing industry of course with
it's pubc be damned policy in most favorable position
refuse bargain with the union By the terms of the
present laws it shut down and still make
tremey profits by getting refunds from the govern
of profits paid during the emergency

ment that on the very eve of the Que
bee conference we read your state
ments concerning the government
plans for cutting down 1916 crop pro
duction and the need for additiona
reduction measures in 1947.
Newspaper accounts stated thai
you had revised plans for "all-out'
production because the end of the
war had brought a reduction in for
eign and domestic needs. This state
ment seems to be in direct variance
with the reports coming from your
own department of agriculture show
ing for example that postwar food
needs are even more acute than war.
time needs.
1--WE believe that the United States
should continue to support the kind
of world food organization which we
helped to draw up at Hot Springs, Vir-
ginia-a food and agricultural organ
ization that would aid in expanding
farm production until hunger is ban
ished from the earth. At this time
when millions are facing starvation,
we do not think that the United States
should try to turn the food and agri-
cultural organization into worldwide
instrument for reducing farm produc.
ton
'The American farmers want full
farm production, and our workers rec.
ognize that full farm production and
full employment are indivisible. We
object to the current practice of pay
ing lip-service to these detectives on
Sundays and holiday, while forgetting
about them on weekdays.
''We urge that the administration re-
pudiate the scarcity views which are
being attributed to it and that it lay
before congress and the farmers a real
istic program for achieving the full
farm production objective. AS the
first step in this direction, we propose
that the farm price support program
be extended to cover the total pres
emit volume of production, allowing of
course for shifts from less essential

the industries themselves He has minated in any way
that responsibility for the present strike in G. M rests solely
with the industry that has consistently refused to bargain
with the workers.
The public should be made to understand that the industry
would not be to granting increases its workers.
PROVIDING permitted to advance prices for its auto
mobiles to the public And is certain that the
increased prices would have left comfortable margan for
workers.
Let the public understand these features of the present
strike in General Motors 1t is nsurng the industry against
loss because of soppage of production by refunds of
profits paid by the industry And real support to the
striking union because of it's nsstence that the consuming
public be protected from profit gougng by the industry
This Union has "grown up" And the General Motors
strike is not just another strike; it is THE STRIKE.

to more essential crops. At the pres
ent time, the price support program
says nothing about the all-important
question of whether one per cent, ten
per cent, or 100 per cent of the speci-
fled crops will be covered by the
price guarantees. Unless this "joker'
in the program is eliminated, farmers
are worried lest the price support pro-
gram become an instrument for reduc-
ton instead of a guarantee of full pro-
duction.
1--WE do not think that food, or rath-
er HUNGER, should be used as a de-
vice for foisting reactionary govern
ments upon freedom-loving people, as
Herbert Hoover did after the last war
and would have us do again. Neither
the American farmers nor the Ameri-
can people generally believe that, by
denying food to starving peoples and
holding the secret of the atomic
bomb over their heads. are we likely
to achieve peace and security"

To these charges the school trus-
tees made no reply.
Graham continued arguing the mer-
its for reinstating Miss Eastman, but
the board remained silent to Graham's
appeal
Then when they were asked why
they would not speak on the subject.

stated I'VE are leaving the whole sub

A few remarks were made by some

The committee members have ex-
pressed themselves about the meeting
that it was the first time they ever
met with employers on collective bar

made reply.
However, Labor has gained much
information meeting with the Helena
trustees.
On April 10Th, the committee from
the Helena Trades and Labor Council
and the Building Trades attended a
meeting of the school board to witness
their proceedings as there were rum
ors around that there would be some
discussion concerning Miss Eastman
at this meeting. When it came time
for adjournment, one of the members
of the board made a motion that the
board adjourn to meet at the call of
the chairman, to discuss Junior High
School. The motion was seconded
and carried.
The Board met on April oath, but
did not discuss a Junior High School
for Helena, but took action not to
renew the contract with Miss East
man. John A Woodland and Stephen
Douglas dissenting.
Positive evidence has been secured
that the minutes of the meeting of
April 21st, have been tempered with
and contains acts which were never
considered by the board while in ses-
sion. Further after the meeting was
adjourned on April 21st, rump SEES
