How About This. Senator Wheeler?

entaon of the fighting liberal Governor Ellis Arna of Georgia
The Wheeler amendments, would graciously permit any
railroad to reduce its without first clearing its action with
the railroad association The second amendment according
the dispatches would make for carrier
Citations to have unanimous approval of members before rates
become efecve that majority approval should be sufficient
The Bullwinkle bill would exempt railroads from action
against them by the under the antitrust laws From
the dispatches clearly indicated that Senator Wheel
does lot of talking against the railroad interests but
tuay for the Buwnke bill and the advantages the railroads
would enjoy of unhndered exploitation by them of the people

TEACHERS NEED STRONG
ORGANIZATION

| Perhaps no group in organized labor
experiences more difficulty in trying
to establish for themselves, economic
parity with the rising cost of living,
than do the teachers. Throughout the
period of the war, their incomes were
on par with those of the general la
borers. And in view of the degree of
skill and training necessary for the
occupation of teaching, they certainly
should have been able to enjoy, at
least, an income equivalent to that of
any journeyman mechanic
But teachers must bargain with
school boards and their salaries must
come out of revenue from taxation
Delegate Bergren reported that the
suggestion was made to the school
board a special election in Cascade
County District No. 1 to raise the tax
levy three or four mills in order to
restore the kindergartens and provide
a long-deserved raise in teachers sal
aries. At this suggestion ACMs plant
manager and member of the school
board, Mr.. Caples' was very vigorous
in opposition. Why should ACM COM
plain? Mr.. Caples' corporation, now en-
joying one of the most prosperous fis-
cal conditions of it's existance, contrib
utes a lesser share than ever toward
the communities services and needs.
AS was pointed out, the assessors Of
flee has allowed the assessed valua-
ton of Cascade County to fall from
some 60-odd million dollars, during the
depressing 30s to some 40-odd million
dollars at present Surely the growth
of this community since the 1930s
should indicate greater assessed val
uation instead of 80 per cent lower
one.
How very ECONOMICAL for the
property owners.

FALLS LABOR
CURRENT

The organism of collective charity
and social development isn't doing
very well, therefore, Chairman Gray
bill called in an expert social doctor
and invited a number of men in or
ganized labor to sit in on the ses
sion in which the specialist was to di-
agnose the ailment
1t seems that the cold shoulder here
to-fore given labor was contributing
cause for the sick community chest.
And according to the imported social
doctor, the Great Falls community
chest was not the only ailing organiza-
ton of it's kind. He cited several 9TH
ers whose faulty structure fell ill of
the same disease. Which disease is
recognized as a constitutional one
No Vote for Donating Groups
For the constitution of our local
chest organization is so written that
only those organizations through
whom and to whom the funds are dis
bursed can vote ON the board of direc-
tors.
Our expert said that the only cure
is the one effected in the city of Spo-
kane, Wash, in which new constitu-
ton was written, giving the donating
organized groups the right to vote on
the board of directors.
Mr. Graybill, whom organized labor
has always regarded as pro-labor rep
resentative, has said that, unless this
reform is forthcoming, he cannot con-
scientiously act in such capacity as
the community chests chairman
The most often expressed and con-
stantly reaffirmed opinion among the
delegates of the Cascade County
Trades and Labor Assembly is that
in any non-partisan and non-sectarian
civic program or activity which spans
the economic classes, labor should
have equal voice in the execution and
policy making if they, labor, are ex-
pected to contribute financially or par
take of the campaign for a communal

U. S. HUGS VETO

The American delegations recent flip-flop on the veto at the United Nations was no accident. Here is the inside story
 For weeks, U. s. diplomats have poured cold water on the Russians for demanding their right to veto. Despite this, Senator Tom Connal- ly of Texas made a speech for con- tinuing the veto. However, the gentleman from Texas was not act ing on his own His speech was carefully prepared and discussed in detail during inner council meet ings of the State Department.
 At these sesslCns, it was pointed out that the Communists were now the strongest party in France, that Communists might come into pow CT in China, and that British labor is rebelling at Bevin's anti-Russian policy. Therefore, the United States might find the veto shoe on the other foot. Instead of Russia being outvoted at Council sessions, the United States might find itself in the minority and anxious to fall pack on the veto
 In other words as long as France, Britain and China were certain to line up with the U.S.A, we were quite willing to change the veto. But now that things are swinging the other way, we aren't
