Two Important Roll
Call Votes In The
Congress

Two significant measures came up
in the congress during the past week
one in the house, one in the senate
on which roll call votes were recorded.
The senate vote was on confirmation
of Gordon Clapp as administrator of
IVA. The house vote on the Recla-
nation appropriation for the next fis-
cal year.
Mr.. Clapp was confirmed 1851 de-
spite attempts to besmirch his char
acter by Senator Mcclellan of Tennes-
see and the corrupt power trust lobby,
attempts not dissimilar to those made
against confirmation of David Lilien-
thai.
On this issue, as on practically every
other senate decision, Montana's two
senator's split, with Senator Murray
voting FOR confirmation; Senator
Ecton, AGAINST.
Reclamation Appropriation
Vital vote on this bill was on mo-
ton to recommit to committee for pur-
pose Of increasing various allotments
for reclamation projects. This motion
lost 40 to 1877 with Montana Reps.
Mansfield and D'Ewart both voting for
recommittal. After this motion lost,
both voted for passage. The house
bill carried appropriations
totaling $1,7S7,OOO for the Hungry
Horse project for the next year. Rep.
Mansfield in committee hearings had |
asked ALLEGATION of $4,500,O00 for the
project, emphasizing the Importance
of completing this $4S million dollar
dam as soon as possible to alleviate
the threat Of a serious power shortage

He remarked that "the rebuilding of

is no reason why oil resources should

He advocated "a world organization

the world, which could be run by indie

COP Congressman
Continued from Page one)


This platform reads in part as fol
lows:
1.-The Republican party fights for a
free American society and against any
totalitarianism for America. We
stand for free enterprise-free from
federal controls and bureaucratic
planned economy, which deprives
Americans Of food, clothing, and hous-
ing-a free trade unionism, free man
agement, free collective bargaining
free from governmental meddling-the
right to profit, the right to strike"
This is the platform on which 1 cam
paigned. That is the platform on
which I was elected.
Less than two weeks ago young
Republicans from II western states
met at Salt Lake City, Utah, to or
ganize the Western Conference of
Young Republicans At this confer
ence several resolutions were adopted.
Among these was the following state
ment on labor:
I'VE stand for free, competitive en-
terprise in an economy based on free
labor and free management
I'VE recognize arrangements right |
to profit and labor's right to strike.
We reaffirm our faith in the American
institution of free collective bargain
ing-free from legislative regulation
and governmental meddling"
By this resolution western Young I
Republicans have affirmedsth faith /
in a democratic society under which
both management and labor are pro
tected from an all-powerful state.
Last week the house labor and edu-
cation committee reported to the floor
of the house a labor bill referred to
as H.R 1920 l fought to amend this
bill and, in the final analysis, l voted
against it. | could not support the
form in which this bill was presented
to the house because it does not
achieve the detectives of the people
in the sixth Washington district rela-
tive to the Neutrality-suspicious. prob
lem.
We want industrial peace, but n.
r. 1920 encourages and creates in
dustriaI strife.
We want equality of the bargaining
power, but the bill gives to employers
unjust advantages. We want to re-
store and guarantee free collective
bargaining, but this bill seriously re-
stricts collective bargaining by spe-
cific limitations and gives an employer
control over whether he will
bargain and, if SO, how far he will go
in the bargaining process
We want to make unions RESPONSE
BILE for their conduct and safeguard
The sanctity Of the contract, but this
dill denies to unions the security Of

roys common disciplinary power with
