Grade School Teachers Ask Higher Pay
Rent Registering
Facilities Slated
For Local Towns

Rent control offices will be estab-
lished in Columbia Falls, Martin
City, Coram and Bolton, for brief
periods, Friday, as convenience to
West Glacier landlords.
Otherwise federal law requires
that all Flathead county landlords
renting homes, apartments, rooms,
trailer space and tourist cabins reg
lister at the designated county rent
control office in the First National
Bank building, Kalispell.
Frank Bolton, county rent director,
will be in Columbia Falls at the
town hall from 9 to IL a. M, Friday;
Martin City at the town office, 1870
to 2:30 p, M; Coram post office, 800
to 400 p. M; Bolton at the West
Glacier cafe, 4:3O to 7 p. m.
AS a result of weather, the dead
line for registering all none-store
rented property has been extended to
December Is. The federal rent con-
troll law is backed by a penalty for
not registering or for giving false in
formation.
Mr.. Bolton recorded information
on rented properties in Columbia
Falls last Saturday. There are an
estimated SO landlords in the city
who have not yet registered,
Rents charged for all non-business
property, effective in this area Nov
ember l, 1916, must be returned to
the maximum charged on or before
January l, 1916. In the event of cap
ital improvements such as added
rooms or new heating equipment
where none existed before, a pet
ition may be filed after December Is
asking for a rent raise.
Tenants asked to vacate rooms,
apartments or homes may contact
the Kalispe1l office, though there is
no protection to a tenant asked to
vacate for not paying rent.

$3.50 Year WAGE
Inadequate For
Living Expense

AT its December meeting next
Tuesday, the District 6 school board
will consider petition from Colum-
bia Falls grade school teachers for
a 20 per cent raise in salary.
Local grade school teachers are
paid only $3.50 year, and boosted
rents and higher living costs in gen
eral have made it difficult for them
to continue self-supporting.
The school board is concerned. Its
budget has already proved made
quate, and there is the big problem
of Al per cent increase in school
enrollments over a year ago. This
has resulted in Al per cent more
text books to be purchased; addition
al teachers to be hired, more school
room needed, and added transporta-
ton costs.
Typical of the increased enroll
ment problem is the necessity Of
providing another teacher for the
Columbia Falls first grade where the
enrolment has ALREADY increased
from last years average figure of
"a to SO. The Columbia Falls eighth
grade, with one instructor, has 80
students. Teachers have already been
added at Coram and Bolton. School
accrediting regulations limit 40 STILL
dents to teacher.
In their search for more school
funds, board members view with
considerable favor, the reclamation
bureau survey to determine the num-
Der of students in local schools whose
parents are employed by Hungry
Horse contractors or by the recIa-
nation bureau. The bureaus plan is
to seek financial aid for the schools
through federal legislative appro-
priations. But this money, if appro-
priated, would not be available be-
fore the next school year.
At its delayed November meeting,
finally held this past Tuesday, the
board in addition to receiving the
teachers petition for increased sal
airy, discussed the school lunch pro-
gram, and arranged for dormitory
cooks, Mrs. Clapper and Mrs. Anders,
to put in the same hours in assisting
with school hot lunches as they for
merly needed to prepare the noon
meal for the 36 dormitory students.
These students will now have the
same meal as served under the hot
lunch program.
The board, Tuesday, also approved
final payment to contractor, Chris
Raaen for repairs made as result
Of fire damage to the grade school
last spring, and commended Mr..
Raaen for the excellent job. Permis-
sion was given a town basketball
team to use the high school gym two
evenings a week and for evening
games.
The matter of Francis P. Flem-
ng's resignation as school board
Jerk was delayed for consideration
IT the December meeting.
Attending the Tuesday session
we're board members, Otto Fehlberg,
Dwight Grist and Ted Rogers. Absent
we're Chairman H. A. Chatterton Z
md Bud Darling.

When A g. P Food stores was
forced to close it's 500 retail
establishments in the New
York area, it posed a problem
for company officials. No A 81
P employees were on strike. The
closing was forced because the
union drivers employed by the
contract carriers who haul for
the chain had, with several
thousand other truck drivers,
refused to accept a wage offer
made by management. With no
deliveries from its warehouses
to its stores, A & P had to
close after two weeks. The COM
pany had to decide what it
should do about it's 5000 full
time employees who were made
idle through no fault of theirs.
1t was quickly decided that the
company should pay them in
full during the time the stores
were closed. This represented
an outlay of nearly $400, 900 a
week which was a considerable
amount even for a large COM
pany. The action runs counter

XX7E REALIZE how eagerly you are
w awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet
you have ordered from us, and we want to
pass on to you the latest information received
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even
though that information isn't too encouraging
at this time.
It is true that Chevrolet leads all other
manufacturers in total production of
passenger cars and trucks from January
through September 1916, despite the fact
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely
during the first three months of this year. It
IS also true that Chevrolet has continued to
maintain its lead in total production during
the third quarter of 1916. And yet production
s still running far below desired levels, with
the result that Chevrolet's output of cars and
trucks through September 1916 was only
1879 of the number produced during the
corresponding period of 1941.
This means it may take many months for
he Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak

The story is that Sgt. George Timko,

weakened by the removal of a piece of

THIS IS REVOLUTION

tss s~f The current strike situation is at das4z
perfectly clear. 1t is nothing less than revo-
luton. Traditional concepts Of property
rights, mana gement rights and profit rlghtN
are threatened. To see the way the feVolg-
ton is proceeding, consider che case OF a
single basic industry-oil. Management
and labor disagreed specifically, on the
percentage of wage increase to be granted
Fundamentally the disagreement was not
over the adequacy of wages, measured by
past standards. Real wages are at record
levels Labor leaders have frankly stated
that they are out for a redistribution OF
profits. In the case of at least one industry,
they have demanded look at the 'books"
TO decide for themselves how profits should
be shared.
When oil companies rebelled at strong
arm division of profits, thene3f step in the
revolution took place. The government took
over the companies. The workers Went back
to work pending a decision on the demands
of their leaders. Now the Negotiations
have gone Ompletely8beyond the control
of the oil industry. A three-man govern
ment fact finding" board has been APP,
pointed by the president. The question is
how will it decide to divide the profits of
the oil industry? The members of the oil
industry, men who have worked all their
lives to build up companies that serve the
public well and have always endeavored
to pay fair wages and fair return to those
investors who took the risks in the develop
ment of oil resources with millions of hard
earned savings, must await the outcome of
the deliberations of three political APP
pointees. They are helpless. The prices
paid for their products as we'll as wages
are at the mercy of political maneuvering
in government. e.
If this is not revolution, what is it?
Whatever it is, it explains why reconver-
sion and postwar production are danger
Ously stalled. "" utt 70
