The council also asked that mem

ways and means of reducing the cost
of living, thereby making further in

Anti Labor Efforts
viii Be Futile

Dallas, Dec. 2O.-New York Stock
Exchange President Emil Schram said
here today that proposals to break up
labor unions would be futile.
Addressing luncheon of the Dallas
Citizens council, he said, that such
efforts would be as futile as an at
tempt to destroy the Sherman anti
trust act"
He claimed workers had been led
"astray" by labor leaders and
sympathetic government but that in
dustry leaders "have permitted the
growth of this trend. We're to blame
for it. 1t must be corrected"
Schram warned against starting a
fight on labor unions and said such
fight would bring a unity of all unions
that would mean a labor government.

derful exploit" the farm paper says.
"a lot of faith, courage and determine

IVA. None dare say the expenditure

now even in the lowest of paying
senses, financially; what it has paid

ton. at will cost lot of money to

ed by the groups in the coming
session of the Montana legisla-
tive assembly.
The two-day meeting was character
lied by enthusiasm and unity of pur-
pose and complete absence throughout
OF any evidence of selfish demands by
any separate group. The aim of all of
the delegates appeared to be the
adoption of a program for the general
good of all of the working people of
the state.
Permanent Organization
The groundwork for a permanent
legislative organization was laid and
will be effected at meeting to be
held in January. During the final SEES
sion on Sunday, the conference out
lined an extensive legislative program
covering veterans legislation, taxes,
education and labor laws.
Proposed Program
For the veterans, the groups will
ask extension of time for filing income
tax returns, vocational preference, re-
moval of age limits in employment in
police and fire departments, and in
vestigation of housing. Organization of
state apprenticeship council.
Minimum wages of 65 cents an hour
now, and ultimately rs cents an hour
were recommended.
Proposed amendments to the Unem-
ployment Compensation Law would
boost maximum weekly benefits to
$50 a week and minimum payments to
81 week. Payments of at least 60
percent of wage loss; reduction of
waiting period to one week; extend
benefits to cover 26 weeks of unem-
ployment, and extension of coverage |
to other workers, including those of !

orally will settle these suits, because
any payments made under them are
allowable deductions under the federal
income tax law for the years in which
the wages were earned
In view of the excessive profits of
the Anaconda company during the past
two years, it is pointed out that the
actual cost to the company in making
these settlements will be relatively
small, owing to the fact that this
company has been mining all of its
low grade tailings ore and mining
dumps in Silver Bow county, and 9TH

the production of copper and other

the conference declared opposition
to the merit rating plan in the employ
ment of state agency employees as
fundamentally unsound."
Liberalization of the Industrial Acct
dent Law to cover all employees, all
occupational diseases, penalties for
failure to insure, elimination of COM
pany or private insurance, elimination
of maximum benefits Of injured en-
ployes and reduction of the waiting
period were recommended
The group will seek the establish
ment of a separate department of
labor and recommend that the state
labor commissioner be elected by the
people.
More revenue for the state govern
ment through progressive income
taxes, both individual and corporate,
inheritance taxes and estate and gift
levies will be sought by the groups.
Increase of rental fees on state
lands also was recommended.
The council opposes a sales tax in
any form.
The Montana Education Associa-
tons request for annual appropriation
of $2,20O,000 to the state general
school fund received the support of
the groups, which recommended that

Other recommendations included
better farm-to-market roads, an 'ade-

and inspection law and increased old
age pension allotments.

Act of 1888. Additional suits
will be filed against the COM
pany and various other COM
panies in Montana, Idaho, and
Washington, seeking similar re-
lief.
Similar suits have been filed in al
most every state in the union against
the United States Steel company the
Ford Motor company, and various other
large corporations engaged in inter-
state commerce. 1t is estimated the
total sum will be in excess Of four
billion dollars. The suits have been
filed as a result of a decision of the
United States Supreme Court, holding
that time spent on company property
was time worked within the meaning
of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Time
at the beginning and ending of the
day, in most cases exceeding thirty
minutes, has not been paid for by
many employers.

ing company. The law provides that
such time be paid for at time and a
half for overtime work, and a penalty
for an additional, equal amount, also
attorneys fees for plaintiffs attorneys
and costs of suit.
Much attention has been given by
the press and radio to the suits being
filed under the decision rendered by
the United States Supreme Court. At
torneys and commentators say the
opinion covers every point of law in
volved, and many employers are ne
gotiating settlements now of these
claims for overtime pay. Reactionary
elements in congress are expected to
lead fight to attempt to change the
law, but it is pointed out that any
action by congress viii have no effect
upon suits filed prior to any change
in the law that may be made, or with
in a reasonable time thereafter.

Recommends Wider coveraae

Extension of coverage to all work
ers, increases in minimum and maxi
mum benefits and duration of bene-
fits. sickness and disability insurance,
and consideration of possible reduc-
ton of employer tax contributions,
are the principle recommendations of
the commission to the 1947 legislature.
In asking coverage extension to all
workers, the commission feels this
should be given primary consideration,
rather than increasing of benefits, be-
cause there are a good many thous-
ands of workers who are not presently
covered.
Because Of the tremendous increase
in the cost OF living, the commission
proposes increasing the minimum
benefit from S. to 81 per week. SINH
larly, a maximum benefit of $40 in
stead of SIS, for those who have never
previously drawn benefits, is pro-
posed. A maximum of SIT is proposed
for those who have drawn benefits in
one or more previous years.
While not proposing any specific
increase in the number of weeks
above the present 16, the commission
proposes that in cases of prolonged

Bracket Disproved"
During the earlier months OF the
year, there was much talk among mis-
informed people that Montana's re-
Gently discharged veterans were max.
ing a racket of unemployment al
lowanees. The commission on several
occasions has publicly deprecated such
rumors, and figures from the report
indicate positively that Montana serv-
icemen have done little soldering"
at the taxpayers expense. Here are
the facts:
1. At no time were there more than
IL per cent of approximately $4,000
discharged vets drawing allowances.
This was in the early months of the
year when discharges were at their
peak in numbers and the states sea-
sonal unemployment was at the usual
high winter level.
2. In August only per cent OF all
vets were awning allowances. These
included tn e who are difficult to
place because Of partial disabilities.
8. Indicating that servrcemen do not
make a business of 'malingering" on
compensation, as of June 80, 1916,
only 40 had exhausted their allowance
entitlement, of which only 10 had
drawn the full So weeks of allowances.
The other 80 having entitlement of
from 8 to Al weeks.
OF approximately $4,000 veterans on
which the commission had complete
records last July, $4,000 were on jobs;
5000 were attending schools; $500
were self employed under G. l. bill of
rights; 900 were hospitalized; 700
were unemployables, and $500 were
unemployed By September there were
only approximately 1920 drawing al
lowances.
