68th Union Anniversary
Thursday, June Is

The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1946-06-07

Miners Union.
The annual holiday during
the war years was foregone by
the Miners because of the need
for the miners producing every
possible ton of copper to win
the victory against the forces
of fascism and aggression
throughout the world.
The celebration will COM
mence with an old-time color
| full parade in which Butte's
two famous bands, the Butte
Mines Band and the Montana
State Band will participate and
inspire the huge throng with
soul-stirring music. Several
drum and bugle corps, includ-
ing the Eagles, Elks, American
Legion and the Miners own
drum and bugle corps who
have been working hard get
ting ready for the occasion will
also lend color to the parade with their
snappy uniforms and martial music.
All the local Ladies' auxiliaries will
march too, in colors even more gor-
geous than those of their men-folks.
In addition to the above almost all
labor organizations in the city will
line up with the miners as they have
always done in the past whether they
be ALL, Railroad Brotherhoods or
CLIO, thereby showing to allAinterested
parties that labor in Butte is united in
peace as it was united in war.
True, there will not be SO many min
ers parading as in former years; many
of them went to war and have not
come back, many left for other parts
during the war but there will be
plenty of everybody and plenty of
music to make a bang-up eye-filling
parade.
After the parade there will be
full program of sports, baseball
game, internationally known speakers
and to top the day big dance at Co
lumbia Gardens.
The parade will form at Montana
and Granite streets and the line of
march will be south on Montana TO
Park. east on Park to Atlantic, coun-
ter-march west on Park to Main, north
on Main to Granite, west on Granite
to court house and disband.
Weather permitting it will be one

Erickson Plugs For
Long Term Farm
Price Policy

Emphasizing the g pressing need
for constructive legislation which will
bring federal benefits to Montana
farmers, Montana industry and Mon
tana labor >" democratic senatorial
candidate Left Erickson Thursday eve
ming outlined an aggressive program
for hurting the postwar readjustment
period now facing Montana citizens,
before large and enthusiastic meet
ing of the Hill County Farm-Labor
council at Havre.
Stressing the need for a long-term
floor under farm prices as being in
the best interests of Montana bust
.nessmen and wage earners, as we'll as
the states farmers, Judge Erickson
pointed out that "the disastrous col
lapse of farm prices following World
War | naturally had deep effect on
labor and business as well as agricul-
ture. The success of our present re-
adjustment period depends largely on
reasonable farm prices. Our present
farm program, in some respects COM
plete, is not wholly adequate. The
solution must rest in a long-term floor
under farm prices"
Council Endorses Erickson
Following Judge Erickson's meeting
with the council, the membership went
on record endorsing his candidacy for
the senate, Council President II. H.
Hess and Secretary Oscar Sedahl an
nounced this morning.

By GARDNER JACKSON


The aftermath of the blacklist 10
days for democratic processes in the
history of the country is beginning to
catch up with President Truman and
those of his counselors who urged
him to draft strikers into the army.
The senate weakening of the emerg-
ency measure he proposed is just the
start of a retreat which competent
observers predict members of con-
gress will make. Despite the white
house whistling to keep up its cour-
age there are clear signs that Truman
and his advisors now realize that they
went too far in their response to the
undoubted provocation of Whitney and
Johnston of the Trainmen and Engi-
neers.
Symbol of that realization was the
performance of the tortured senate
majority leader, Alben Barley, in
sponsoring the amendments which
weakened the Truman bill so that the
entire measure would not be defeated.
The action of Barley and his col
leagues in the maneuver is not lost
upon the members of the lower house
who whooped Truman's fascist legis-
lation through that body a week ago

Battle For Justice For Discharged ACM Men
Is Gaining Momentum In Organized
Labor Circles of Entire State

the men were present. All of the vic
Tins of the company's economic dis
elimination have tried to secure. en-
ployment. Many, it was reported, have
gone to West Coast cities. There a
number have found employment AS a
result these men are selling their
Butte homes and are moving their
families to the localities of their new
jobs. The league regrets that Butte
thus loses these fine people whose
adherence to principles was tested Sc
verely and who were found to be
sterling. In their departure Butte suf-
fers a definite loss for they are citi-
zens of high calibre and decent Amer
lean and Christian standards Others
found that the cost of living in dense
ly populated industrial areas in which
they did not have homes was .exorbi-
tant. Although work could be secured,
living conditions were bad due to
housing shortages and high prices.
Still others of the Disseminated have
gone on what they believed to be "hot
tips" to good jobs. When they ar
rived at the reported sites of the re-
ported jobs they found no work avail
able. Definite efforts will be made to
help these men secure full-time en-.
ployment Organized labor feels that
it owes a DEBT OF HONOR to these
men which will be paid only by doing
