The immediate cause OF the
crisis was a cold wave and
heavy snowfall. the worst that
has hit this country in SO years,
which blocked off roads and
cut rail lines. Because most
factories had practically no coal stock
piles. and no deliveries could be
made, the government ordered a shut
down Of all industries except those
vital to national welfare. It also or
dered that electricity be cut off in
private homes for i've hours a day.

a similar fate to HB6S Monday when
the committee brought in a do not
pass recommendation. 1t was only
through the determination of Sen. Lig-
get, Musselshell. that a minority do

margin. Whether this bill will survive
third reading in the Senate and then
an even rougher tussle In the House
depends entirely on the effectiveness
Of organized labor from all orner Of
the state.
HB 50 has secured house approval.
This measure will increase monthly
payments to silicotics from $50 to $40
per month should it receive Senate
approval. Funds for silicosis, unlike
those for workmen's comp. and unem-
ployment comp. are paid out Of the
department of public welfare approp-
ration.
Two measures, SB "a and SB 1853,
one a teachers tenure act, and the
other a teachers minimum wage law
have a fair chance of passage. SB 159
has passed the Senate by a close mar
gin and SB "a looks like it too will get
through the upper body, after a fight.
A Definite Pattern
AS the Goth legislature goes into its
final three weeks, a definite pattern
seems to be developing. Measures Of
benefit to labor which call for funds
being expended from special commits
sions such as unemployment and in
dustrial accident, are being fought
%savagely by employers, particularly by
the larger members of the mining and
numbering fraternity. Labor measures
which for the most part will be paid
for by the general public, such as the
proposed increase for silicotics and
the minimum wage for teachers, may
receive favorable consideration from
both upper and lower chambers.
Likewise, bills such as lib 1874, to
give some liberalization of unemploy-
ment benefits, and cut a $1,000, 900
plum for steady employers, from small
retailers to the largest, including the
ACM. although being fought vigor-
ously by organized labor representa-
tives. are likely to secure favorable
consideration. lib l64 has passed the
House and will be in the hands of the
Senate by the weekend. Although the
latter body killed SB 70. a similar. but
more vicious measure than lib 164,
strenuous efforts will be made in the
upper body to incorporate some Of
the worst portions of SB 70 into the
House measure. lib 164 provides for
