News of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

Most of the time of the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council was taken UP
bv a discussion Of the second Montana
Labor Institute which will take place at
the University Of Montana at Nissoula
August ?. 3 and 4. The Council did not
take any action toward sending a dele
cate to this meeting. All the unions
are invited to send a representative to
the institute. However, it was empha-
sized that it was not necessary to be a
delegate from an organization in order
to be admitted to the sessions.
story on the institute viii be found

Montana Labor News.
The following letter was received. from
Senator Murray in reference to having
members of the armed forces come under
the provisions Of the Social Security Act:
UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee on
Education and Labor
July IA, l945.
Mr.. E. c. Vawter. Secretary
Silver Bow Trades & Labor Council
P. o. Box 1917
Butte, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Vawter:
Thank you for your letter OF May 81
I am glad to know of your support for
LEGISLATION that would give social secur-
ity protection to the men and women
who have been in the military service of
our country.
I believe that not only persons who
have contributed to social security be-
fore they were inducted but all persons
who have served in the armed forces
should receive credit under the social in
gurance system for the period of their
military service. The Wagner Murray
Dingen Bill of l943 provided such credit
retroactively from Sept 7, 1889. The re-
vised bill which we introduced on May
"a IS. 1O5O) contains similar provision
under which service men and women
would receive credit Of $3.50 a month for
each month of active military service.
The government would pay their con-
tributions for them and these credits
would count toward retirement, invalid
ity, survivors, temporary disability and
unemployment benefits and rights tc
medical care for the seryiceman and his
family.
There have also been several bills in
troduced in Congress in the last few
years which would give servicemer
credit for the old-age and survivors bene'
fits of the present Social Security Act
Senator Wagner and have INTRODUCED
such a bill IS. s7s) in this session.
Certainly we would extend to the mer
and women in the armed services th'
protection of our social insurance sys-
tenn. I am hopeful that before most o.
them have returned to civilian life VT
will have expanded and improved tha

work for social security for the Ameri-

Chairman Driscon of the Grievance
Committee made a recommendation that
the Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil take no action in the dispute which
has been waging in California between
the plumbers organization and the In
ternational Alliance Of Stage and Mo-
ton Picture Operators This appears to
be a iurisdictional dispute and some
thing that is far removed and outside
the realm of action by the Trades Coun-
ell. 1t is now in the hands of the WLB.
It was reported that the local Stage
Employees Union had recently signed a
new contract with the Fox theater peo-
pie. The contract runs for year and
is substantially the same as the one now
in operation.
The Miners thanked the Council for
its assistance in securing additional al
lotment of meat for the Miners. John
Mcleod of the Miners explained what
the union was requesting of the OPA
in regard to meat, and are not positive
at the present time whether their de-
sires will be fulfilled or not.
A motion to have Chairman Crawford
appoint a committee to confer with
local OPA staff in regard to the employ
ment of a paid field representative was
voted down. Some of the delegates, par
ticularly those who are quite familiar
with operations of the OPA seemed tc
feel that the voluntary system now in
effect is working satisfactorily and be-
sides the appropriation by Congress tC
carry on the work for the OPA for The
next year was barely sufficient to keeT
the present paid personnel.
