House Committee
Gets Virginia
Election Contests

Washington, D. c., (NNPA)-The
contest Of tn eseat in the House
of Representatives Howard w.
,, Smith, Democrat, of Virginia,
brought by Lawrence Michael, Re-
publican, on the ground thata the
election of Nov. 5, last in the eight
Congressional district of Virginia
is void because of the imposition
of a poll tax, has been referred
by Speaker Joseph w. Martin to
the House Administration Commit
tee.
No testimony was taken by eth
er Judge Smith or Mr.. Michael.
In the election, Judge Smith recei-
we'd 21,222 votesand Mr.. Michael
13,7Os.
Answering the notice of con-
test filed by Mr.. Michael, Judge
Smith contended that the contest
is purely a legal question which
has been decided adversely to Mr..
Michael by the United States Dis
trict Court for the Eastern dis
trict of Virginia.
1t is not alleged nor shown that
Virginia laws discriminate against
any race or class of citizens in viO-
lation to the United States Con-
tsitution, Judge Smith said. "On
the contrary he asserted, the
fact is that all citizens of the State
irrespective of class, race or con-
dition, are freely permitted and
urged to sexercise their right and
duty of franchise.
He added that a large percen-
tage of the electorate fail to ex-
ercise their privileges, particular
ly in those areas where it is well
known that the part nomination
is equivalent to election.
In his notice of contest, Mr..
Michael charged that certain Sec
tions of the Virginia Constitution
are arbitrary and unreasonable
in the requirement of the payment
of poll tax as prerequisite to
voting, and that these sections

Renne, president of the Agri-
cultural College entertained
twice at the Baxter Hotel in
Bozeman once for the Gala
tin legislators (for an increased
appropriation probably at a
cost of S14.80 and once for the
Agricultural Advisory Council
at cost of 1880.
Governor Ford has certainly
discovered that it is easy to
make a good fellow of himself
at the taxpayers expense. He
bought AT boxes of cherries
(see cut) to send a box to each
of the governors of At states.
This might be a fine gesture
and perhaps he thought he was
advertising Montana. But it
does not appear probable that
the legislature ever intended
the Governor to embark on a
personally conducted advertis-
ing campaign.
In addition to the expenses
of the Governor in his travels,
there is, of course, the addi-
tional expense of the lieuten-
ant governor occupying the
governors chair in his absense.

payment for his Christmas greeting folders out of
the pockets of the taxpayers, prompted us to look
further into the expenditures of state funds which
he had made personally since 1915 to the present

of the petroleum division.
"When the refinery was pur-
chased in March, 1943," says
e. A. Syftestad, general manager of
the Central Exchange, "it represented
a substantial investment in facilities
and inventories. 1t has been salts
factory investment"
The Laurel refinery this past year
processed about 100000 barrels of
crude oil which produced in excess of
60 million gallons of gasoline, kero-
sene and tractor fuel In addition, ap-
proximately 81 million gallons of by
products were manufactured. These
by-products such as heavy fuel oil are
used by railroads. Road oil and
asphalt, also by-products, are used
largely for highways. During the war
the Coop refinery produced much gas
cline for the u. S. Navy.
Several hundred thousand dollars
have been spent on improvements in
refinery equipment and make the or
ganization one of the best in the
northwest Present number of en-
ployes working at the refinery totals
140, an increase of about 40 over the
number working when the property
was purchased from the Independent
Refinery Company. None of the old

of merchandise at the same time.
There seemed to be shortages of mer-
chandise and this serves as a warn
ing to all of us to be cautious of our
buying until these prices appear to
settle down"
Also during the past year, four
liquified petroleum gas plants have
been established, with three of them
now in full operation and the fourth
well along. These are located at Will
liston, N. d., Glendive, Montana and
Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, S. Oak.
Other departments and services
which have been developed and are
growing rapidly, are supplying the To-
cal co-operatives with tires, farm ma
chinery, hardware, farm tools, build
ing supplies, steel and wire, electrical
merchandise and household appli-
ances, feed, seed and fertilizer and
groceries.
Together with the Central Cooper
ative Wholesale, the Midland Coop
erative Wholesale and the Farmers
Union Grain Terminal Association, the
Exchange has joined in the organiza-
ton of Northwest Cooperative Mills
as processing or manufacturing unit
for the co-operatives. This new or

seven million dollars over the pre-
vious year, with net savings of ST.
976,13033, and net worth $6,674, $3.50.
The net worth Of the Exchange rep
resents entirely nothing but savings
by the patrons from the operations of
the organization. In addition to the
savings represented by the net WORTH
the Exchange since it's establishment
has paid in cash as dividends on CAPT
tai stock about $4,000 and made
cash payments amounting to $685.

dividends on purchases of fuels.
When the organization was first
established, its activities were largely
confined to the cooperative purchas-
ing and distribution of petroleum
products to the affiliated cooperative
oil stations in the four northwest
states, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana. This division of
the organizations operations is still
the largest, now including the opera
ton of refineries and oil we'll owner

ing wells in the Cat Creek field in

The vouchers for these services by 1t. Gov. Eaton
total $334.57.
We submit that the Governors travels have
brought about no solution of the states pressing
problems; that no justification from any
standpoint for hotel bill at the Finlen Hotel in
Butte amount to SGT SO, dinner at the Cornhusker
Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska costing $3.50.

of property to the Coop. While many
of the young men went to the armed

wanted to be re-employed have been
given an opportunity to do so.

than it was year ago." Mr.. Bish-
op said. 1--WE have had numerous
cancellations of orders because of
large inventories on dealers and
wholesalers shelves. Most of our
runs the past few weeks have
been short runs which let pro-
duction fall off.
s'This accounts for the average
wage drop which we have had in
recent weeks" he explained.
Average Wages Listed
Under the present Salter- Union
contracts, which were renewed
last autumn, the starting wage for
unskilled male help is 63 cents
per hour, with jump to rs cents
after 60 days. Skilled and semi
skilled rates are much higher,
ranging up to Sl.45 per hour for
tool and die workers.
Average wages for experienced
journeymen in the Salter plant
include molders, S1.30 per hour;
machine shop, S124; coremakers,
SL13; polishers, SLAB; buffers,
S1.49; color buffers, S1.44; assem-
blers, female, SO cents and male,
S1.08.
THE Salter wage scale is far
above the national average for
our industry" Mr. Bishop added.
In fact, we are one of the top
plants in the country producing
plumbing goods, so far as wages
are concerned"
''The offer which we made, and
had rejected, was primarily de-
signed to increase wages of some
of the lower-paid personnel" he
pointed out. I'VE are unable to
make any further offers at the
present time, due to the general
condition of the industry"
Buffers, polishers, and color
buffers at the plant could have
been earning more money right
along except for a top" placed
on them by the Union; a restric-
tion to keep them from complet-
ing more than a certain number
of pieces per hour.

Average wages for all Salter
employees, not including foremen,
office workers and other salaried
employees, was $l.14 for the first
week of March. 1t was gradually
decreased to $104 weekly av-
erage due to a sharp drop in the
plumbing goods market which
has critically curtailed production
at Salters, and thus cut the piece
work rate. The weekly Salter
payroll averages approximately
$4,000.
