BREAK IN MAIN SEWER PIPE
Causes Washout Along Road Lead
ing to Smyrna Landing

The main sewer carrying all
sewerage from the town to Smyr-
ma River burst Tuesday, causing a
large washout along side the con-
crete road leading from Smyrna to
Smyrna Landing. This condition
caused manhole to collapse. The
street maintenance crew, the elec-
trio light crew, and the forces of
a local plumber were required to
repair this damage without shut
ting off the water, to prevent the
flow of sewerage thru the area be-
ing repaired. Due to the time re-
quired to repair this damage the
rubbish was not collected on Tues
day, thus resulting in one day de-
lay.

ATOMIC RESEARCH NOW
kATIONALIzED In
BRITAIN

Among other things nationalized by
the new Labor government of Great
Britain has been research in atomic
energy. The government is setting up
a chain of research centers and a bill
has been introduced by the govern
ment establishing state control of all
British work on atomic energy.
Prof. M. S. Blackett, a member of
the British atomic research team, ex-
planned that there wasNnothing altrius-
tic about American recommendations
that the details of the manufacture of
atomic bombs be maed available to
other nations. America knows that
she cannot hold monopoly Indefinite
ly and she knows, too, that she would
become vulnerable for the first time in
her history if atomic bombs become
prevalent" he said.

NO DOUGH, NO BREAD
SAY QUAKER CITY
BAKERS

Philadelphia-(FP Three million
Philadelphians were hit in the bread
basket for the fifth consecutive day
since eight major bakeries rejected
wage demands of Local 6. Bakery &
Confectionery Workers init. Union
(AFL), and compelled the 1900 mem
bers to strike Aug. 10.
The stoppage halted production of
one million loaves of bread a day, re-
ducing the bread output to some $780,
900 loaves baked by small neighbor-
hood bakeries. AS a result stores have
been rationing bread half loaf to a
customer.
Sole strike issue was the unions
rock bottom demand of zoe hourly
wage increase. 1t had earlier dropped
attempts to obtain 5-day week and
reduced it's original demands for
soc raise.
The companies unanimously reject
ed the proposals, making counter
offer of 16c. Present wages are SAC for
men, SEC for women.
The eight companies affected have
IL plants in the area. They are Fret
hofer, General, Fleisehmann,, Park
way and Mees in Philadelphia and
Spauding, Stroehmann Bros. and Con
tinental in nearby Norristown.
Business Agent Raymond Boiling
said that General and Continental will
soon begin negotiations in other plants

A LETTER

To Readers of Flathead County News
papers and of 'The Peoples Voice:
In view of the interest many citizens
have in school affairs, this short note
is to call your attention to an article
in the August "a issue of Golfers
Magazine, entitled why Teachers
Quit School"
1t is very informative article by a
teacher who has left the public schools
after more than 20 years. According
to competent authorities, the condi-
tions described in this article are COM
parable to those existing in many
Montana communities including Kalis-
pell.
Yours in the interest of more ade-
uate consideration for the teachers
and the students in their charge.

Resolutions ranging from demands
for strict enforcement of rent and
price controls to minimum salaries for
Montana teachers this week are being
acted upon at the 49th annual con-
yention of the Montana Federation of
Labor meeting in Missoula.
Highlights of the opening days ses-
sion included a talk by Rep. Mike
Mansfield in which he assured the
1874 certified delegates that construc-
ton of the Hungry Horse dam OF the
south fork of the Flathead river is a
certainty. He estimated that it would
take five years to complete the dam.
Governor Sam Ford in speaking to
the federation made an appeal for en-
dorsement by labor of referendum NO.

and said it was "a shotgun wedding

Violates Principles OF Engineering
Jerry Locke, a veteran of many
years service in the Army Engineers,
said that the Pick-Sloan plan violates

attended the all day session at the
Florence hotel.
In more than 80 years of operation,
Erickson said, the Reclamation has
not succeeded in setting up single
irrigation project in Montana. 1.-THE
lower Yellowstone, the Sun River, the
Milk River-all the projects have
failed. On every one of them three to
four sets of successive farmers have
gone broke, due to the excessive
charges made against the land under
the inadequate Reclamation program.
The remedy, he said lies in having

is working so successfully in the

porter who wrote that story that every

upon the basis of West versus East
To the reporter, the fact that the West
won its point over the East on voting
procedure represented victory"
The world would have said that if
agreement had been unanimous, a

no victory, for either side" when dis
putes are won by sheer force of num-

Determined To Quash Russia
The enemies of the Soviet Union,
and they are many in high places, de-
termined at the wars end to quash
any expansion of Soviet influence.
This was made clear when the Charter
was drawn up in San Francisco. 1t
has been clear throughout the long
diplomatic tussle which has followed
the end of the war.
1t is but a continuation of the strug-
gle which started in 1917, with the
overthrow of the Czarist regime and
has continued relentlessly since.
Mr.. Byrnes has felt the pressure of
the group set upon creating a "bul-
wark against communism" When he
returned from the Moscow conference
he was assailed as an "appeaser." He
has knuckled to this pressure, and to-
day the United States, instead of act

This newspaper has called attention
on previous occasions to the campaign
which is being waged to build uI
antagonism against Russia.
1t is being done in manner SO
subtle, so clever that the average per-
son does not know what is happening.
His mind is bombarded with a cumula-
tive mass of words and ideas and
finally he awakens to the fact he is
repeating what Russia's foes want him
to repeat, namely, that Russia is an
"aggressor," Russia is blocking the
peace"
Examples of what reporters can do
to bring about this state of mind are
contained in the following Associated
Press excerpts from Paris. (The AS
ISOLATED Press, be it said, does not
have corner on this type of report
ing; UP does the same thing.)
The August issue of the Times
Record carried story from Paris with
this lead paragraph: Soviet Russia
baked today at a British-American
proposal to compromise the peace con-
ference dispute over voting proce-
dure'
Responsibility for disagreement
thereby was placed squarely upon the
Russian delegation. The reporter as
sumed that it was Russia who chalk

Takes Two To Make A Quarrel
1t takes two people to make quar-
rel. Is it for reporters to judge who
is responsible for obstructionism
Would it not have been more impartial
reporting to write that lead: "The Big
Three disagreement over voting proce-
dure remained in deadlock today, with |
Russia holding out for a two-thirds |
majority, the United States and Brit |
ain standing for a simple majority"
The two paragraphs told the same |
story but they do not serve the same |
purpose. The APP version Immediately |
places again before the world the
thought that Molotov is the Georgia
acy, peace and tranquility would de-
scend upon the world.
In another APP story carrying the
same dateline was this paragraph Aug
ust 8: RULES committee members
plainly showed the strain of Tuesdays

broke up at 2:30 a. M, in a victory of
the western powers over the Soviet

Roosevelt in building the Bonneville
and Grand Coulee dams probably
shortened the war by year and saved
countless American lives, Herbert M.
Peet, special assistant to Gov. Wall
gren of Washington, told the meeting.
These dams provided adequate
cheap power for vital war industries,
including the manufacture of the
atomic bomb, he said. Yet these dams
were at one time fought against as
vigorously as certain interests today
oppose the eva and the MVA, Peet
said.
These government-built dams have
made Washington's electric light and
power rates the lowest in the nation"
he said.
Abner Larson, North Dakota
nominee for the u. S. senate, pre-
dicted that the next congress will set
up authorities for both the Columbia
