New York.-A nationwide maritime
strike to back two locked-out west
coast unions. if necessary. vas pro-
posed here November 6 by the national
council of the National Maritime
Union (CIO).
The strike recommendation and a
proposal for full financial support will
be set before a meeting of the east
coast section of the Committee for
Maritime Unity by NMU Pres. Joseph
Curran. The two locked-out unions are
the Int. Longshoremen's & Ware
housemen's Union and the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Assn. (both
C1O). Third unioY involved in the
west coast shipping tieup is the Mas
tiers Mates & Pilots (AFL).
Charging that "the shipowners. on
a national scale, have deliberately
provoked a series of strikes in the
maritime industry with the design of
turning the public against the mari
time unions" the NMU policy making
body called on Pres. Truman to force
the employers to conclude negotia-
tons and end the west coast tie up.
I'VE have 20 doubt that should the
west coast operators succeed in the
devious plot in which they are now
engaged they may soon provoke just
such a lockout policy on the east
coast" the NMU said.
There is nc obstacle in the path
Of settlement at this moment except
the adamant refusal of the west coast
operators to reach agreement on terms
OF settlement already reached in two
thirds Of the industry. and for them to
comply with the directive issued by the
u. S. Maritime Commission" The com
mission has ordered the %shipowners to
put the agreement into effect OIL their
west coast ships.

lated that the crisis cannot be met on
a permanent basis unless they are on
sidered and acted upon as a unit. The
reorganization plan calls for redistrict-
ing the state by July l, 1913.
Admitting that gross inequalities in
distribution of existing school funds
and levies can not be corrected by
legislation, the committee, neverthe-
less. makes clear that additional funds
must be obtained.
Plan For Districts
available evidence the report
says. Indicates that it is impossible
to properly equalize the burden of
supporting an education program in
Montana unless about 40 percent of
such burden is borne by the state and
that all such moneys be used for
equalization purposes The present
contribution Of the state is approx
mately 20 per cent.
Under the proposed reorganization.
the o~ld-fashioned rural school district
would disappear from the Montana
scene for the recommendation pro-
vides that each district shall maintain
at least one accredited high school.
Failure to do so would mean annexa
ton to an adjacent district.
Basically, the district financing
plan would call for:
/. A unified budget for elementary
and secondary schools.
2. A foundation program of a mini
mum Of $50 days and a guarantee by
the state of the cost of transportation
for those for whom schools are not
available.
3. Total cost Of the foundation pro-
gram would be guaranteed by the
state, after deduction of receipts pro-
vided by (a) the interest and income
fund, Oh federal contributions for
Indian pupils or in lieu of taxes, (c)
an S-mill district property levy tax
and (d) a l7-mill county property levy.
Additional Levies
For districts desiring to provide a
school program better than the mini
mum guaranteed by the state, provi-
sion is made for an additional 3-mill
district levy. Levies for retirement of
debt also could be made.

to the governor this week after
a year-long study.
In submitting the report the COM
mittee not only asked that it be called
to the attention of the legislature but
that the governor give a special mes
sage to the legislature on the educa-
tiOnal crisis in Montana.
The nine man commission divided
the problems and recommendations in

Under the recommendations Of the

one relating to the naming of a super

in the interests of the people of the

quest the governor to call in
troops in order to settle the
strike in favor. of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company.
The Governor was scheduled to at
tend a meeting on water conscrva-
ton, in Missouri but cancelled the
trip, more likely al the request Of the
Company. They figured that they
would eventually prevail upon Mcleod
to call for troops. but Mcleod had
spent most of his life in Butte and he
knew of the misery that had been
caused here when troops had been
called in to help the company win
strikes previously so he refused TO
comply with their request.
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany had become so accustomed to
having public officials obey their
every wish. they we're knocked right
off their feet a, McIeod's refusal 10

situation.
Shortly after the strike was set

and a WHISPERING campaign conducted
against Mcleod by the Powers That

very small margin
Reluctant To File
The Butte voters resented this

came known that Mcleod had been
defeated in rhe primary his office was
deluged with phone calls and visits
from friends all requesting him to file

TAXES FOR SERVICES
BY j. M. Peterson

The subject for the next ten minutes
is taxes. Generally speaking the sub
ject is not one to attract a record
crowd. Few people love taxes.
The cheap politician teaches me
that the sensible and practical way of
approaching this subject Is to say I'm
"agin taxes" and to promise you that
if you elect me. I'll show you how to
have less and less and less taxes.
But before an audience like this, it
Is neither wise nor necessary to make
that kind of approach. Farmers Union
people have studied enough to know
that there are many things we can
not do at all as individuals, at least
we a not do them as well individual
ly as we can do them collectively,
through our co-operatives, through the
city. the county. the state and national
government. We can not. individually,
solve our problems of roads, defense,
health, education. and old age assis-
lance.
We constantly demand more and
higher standards of service through
collective action, and that is as 1t
should be.
Everything else being equal, the
more we act together, the cheaper and
better the services. The Joint Commit
tee on consolidation in Milwaukee
County, for instance, showed that the
city of Milwaukee carried on 339 acti-
vities for the same cost that seven
smaller suburbs carried on l40 activi-
ties.
If it were craftsmanship to show
you how to eliminate taxes, | could be
one. We could carry on individually,
all such activities as education, caring
for the blind, sick. feeble and insane.
road making and health services.
Thus we could reduce taxes.
