and Labor Assembly for a public hear
ing of any charges the board might
have to make against Miss Eastman
This was only one Of the demands
made and this, like the others was
ignored by the board:
Backed and financed by organized
labor, Miss Eastman brought suit
against the Helena school board, and
won judgment against it. The hear
ing held in the suit failed to disclose
the reasons for the boards action.
The school board then appealed to
the state supreme court, from the de-
cision of the district court.
Clearly Unfair Decision
The decision of the majority of the
supreme court, holding in effect, that
the school district had acted within
its rights in it's clearly unfair and
arbitrary actions in connection with
Miss Eastman, finally completed
the circle of unfair activity which has
characterized the case against Miss
Eastman since it's beginning Thor
oughly competent attorneys, undoubt-
eddy as we'll qualified as the majority
of the members of the supreme court
and without any other interests in the
case than that of seeing common JUS
tice carried out, have criticized the
actions OF the majority of the court
and maintain that the opinions of the
Justices -Adair and Metcalf
are sound and unaSSailable
Typical of the unfair practices
that have characterized the East
man case, may be cited the circum-
stances surrounding the expression

Considerable publicity has been CIV

made by some of the large corpora
lions. If the price cuts are real, the
general public would welcome the
cuts to relieve distressed pocketboks,
However, it would appear that there
are iokers in some of the so-called
price cutting programs which have
been given wide publicity.
One of these involves the Interna-
tional Harvester company. Accord

rector for the United States Farm

Metcalf dIssented to the decI-
sion of the majority of the
court in denying the petition as
they had In the decision of the
majority over-ruling the deci-
sion of District Judge Taylor.
This action of the supreme Court
majority appears to be the final end
of case which attracted the atten-
ton of the entire state and in which
was involved probably a greater
amount of unfairness on the part of
public bodies toward an individual
than has ever been exemplified be-
fore.
Miss Eastman had been teacher in
the Helena high school for eight years
and there had never been any criti-
cism on the part of the patrons of
the school or by the heads of the
school of her services. She was re-
garded, and justly so, as an able and
conscientious teacher and was affec-
tionately regarded by the students
whose interest in the subjects she
taught and her manner of teaching
should be conclusive evidence of her
efficiency
Refused to Divulge Reasons
Without any warning and without
any reasons given for its action, the
Helena school board notified Miss
Eastman at the end of the 1915 term
of school that her contract would not
be renewed for the coming school
year. All demands for reasons for it's
arbitrary action were denied or ig-
nored by the school board Miss East
man. having been an active member
of the Helena Teachers union, and a
delegate from that organization to the

was the reason for the boards action.

LABOR BILL 0KED
BY Cop HOUSE

The cherished dream Of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers came
g step nearer to stark reality Wednes-
day when the NAM-written Taft Hart
ley union-busting bill was approved
by the house 320-79.
Roll call showed Cong. D'Ewart re-
affirming his position of few weeks
ago that American labor should be
made helpless at the hands of en-
ployers. Congressman Mansfield, ON
the other hand, continued his mani
fest faith in labor by voting against
the bill
The bill is now in the senate where
it is expected that Senator Murray
will vote against its approval and
Senator Ecton will once again vote the

MvA REGIONAL.
NEE !: citing HELD
I'M Omaha, NEB.

Expressing the conviction that the
fight for Missouri Valley Authority
is almost certain to end in an ulti-
mate vistory, delegates to the region
al MVA meeting in Omaha last week
end developed plans for reorganization
of state and regional groups in prep
araton for the long pull ahead. The
lack of progress and the shortcomings
of the Pick-SIoan plan were also given
thorough airing at the regional
meeting.
Delegates from the various Missouri
basin states we're particularly heart
ened to learn that many powerful
forces from without the valley have
now joined with the MVA association
and it is felt that this added pressure
may bring additional senators and rep
resentatives around to favoring an in
tegrated, de-centralized development
of all the resources of this great
valley.
The probability of hearings in
Washington on Senator Murray's new
MVA bill Is. 1866 are remote, how
ever the senator has advised the com
mittee that he. along with Senators
LANCER (N.D) and Taylor Idaho)
plan to conduct private hearings in all
of the ten Missouri valley states this
summer
Working Committee Named
To obviate the difficulty and the
expense of bringing together a full
membership at regional meetings the
following were named as a working
committee: Ben Stong, Farmers I'm
ion, Denver: John Wetsig, ALL, Kan
sas City; Jim Davis. CLIO, Missouri;
Leroy Sable. REA, Minnesota; Jerome
q. Locke, professional Montana.
Voice of the Valley official publica
ton of the association, which was
started a few months back. now has
more than 300 subscribers The
committee plans launching a full scale
circulation drive for this fact-ladened
publication in the very near future.
Finances Of the regional are in
fair condition. A year ago there was
deficit of $4,000, but financial con-
tributions have been such in more
recent months that the association
now has some working capital.
Pick-SIoan Shortcomings
Specific shortcomings of the Pick |
Sloan shotgun wedding" plan of the
Army Engineers and Bureau of Rec
lamation, were enumerated before the
regional meeting by the delegates
from the various states. Summarized.
these include:
Montana: Development of the plan
is predicated on about 100000 acre
feet less runoff than the actual flow;
although so per cent of water ear
marked by congress for irrigation
originates in Montana and Wyoming,
Pick-Sloan calls for so per cent to
be stored in lower part of Dakotas-
too far downstream for maximum util-
ity in power development, irrigation,
flood control.
