COOP I'M Dillon is
PLANNING new
Bull ding
Proposed Structure VIII Be
5Ox1OO And Will Cost
About $4,000

How are Montana co-Ops viewing
the future? A portion of the answer
may be found in the decision of stock
holders of the Farmers Union Trad
ing company of Dillon Tuesday night
to build a new 50'x100' all-concrete
structure to take care of the Co-op's
rapidly expanding business The
new building, which it is estimated
will cost in excess of $4,000, will be
located directly across the street from
the Beaverhead county court house.
The decision to erect the new store
building and service station was
reached within an hours time after
the board of directors had presented
proposed plans to the rs stockholders
present at the co-op's annual meeting.
Immediately following unanimous ap-
prevail of the proposal more than
$1,000 worth of preferred stock was
sold for the purpose of starting the
financing of the expanding enterprise.
Reports are the coop board members
do not anticipate too hard a campaign
to raise the balance of funds required
to construct the building.
Farmers Union Trading of Dillon
specializes in all types of farm sup
plies and equipment as well as having
q substantial oil and gas business. At
present this coop, which is one of the
Oldest in southwest Montana, dating
back to 1884, has more than $50 pat
rons.
Door prizes featuring such items as:
2 coop 600:16 tire; coop 4-quart pres
sure cooker; coop car Battery; coop
bumper jack, and "a 1-quart cans of /
Penn Union oil, were awarded during
he evening.

coop; Elwood Morrison, vice presi-
lent; directors, Wilbur fash, Berg
and Les Staudemeyer.

Members of Anaconda Typograph-
ical union No 255 recently concluded
an extensive survey in their city re-
lating to union-label printing, Presi-
dent John w. Russell reports. The
findings were not heartening. Many
business establishments, the Tele-
phone company, Montana Power, and
others, were found to be buying
"scab' printing.
Alive to the potential danger facing
the printing trades if such condi-
ton is permitted to continue without
protest, local 255 has launched a cam
paign to once again make Anaconda
trade unionists and business firms
conscious of the desirability of pur-
chasing only union-made products.
First step in the campaign has been
to have many thousands of small
stickers printed for free distribution
to union members. Union members
are being asked to affix these stickers
to all statements they may receive
which do not bear the Typo Bug"
which has been patronizing sweatshop
printing outfits.
A similar survey of clothing stores
in Helena was recently conducted by
The Voice editors, with similar alarm
ing results. Business firm after bust

VALLEY FJ

Realizing the dangerous implica-
lions to further Rural Identification
in Montana had SD go been allowed
to become law, the South Valley
Farmers Union, in county convention
last Saturday at Nashua, approved
the following resolution relative to
the passing of SD 80 by both houses
and it's subsequent veto by Governor
Sam Ford:
Whereas, Senate Bill No. 80, known
as the identification bill contained
sinister implications which would
have hamstrung the rural electrifi-
cation work in the state, and
Whereas, in the opinion of the best
legal brains in the state, the passage
of this bill would mean the cessation
of all REA development in the State
of Montana through inability to ac-
quire right of ways or necessary IA
cilities for expansion
Therefore, be it resolved by the
South Valley County Farmers Union
assembled. in convention this 10th
day of March, that We condemn the
bill and commend Governor Ford for
vetoing the bill and reprove our SEN
ator and representative who support
ed the bill.-MRS. WAYNE MUSTO-

only one thing-a lowering of living
standards for all the workers of
America.
At the present time there are more
than $50 restrictive labor measures
on the docket in the two houses OF
the national congress. Forty-two state
legislatures have been considering
wide variety of similar measures, and
in nine the closed shop has been out

In designating April as Defend
Labor Month the CIO board stated:
eve urge all union members to use
this month to demonstrate to congress
that the labor movement is united
against the passage of proposed an
ti-labor legislation and we invite cur
many friends and allies through their
