NO CONFERENCE:
LetCis again

It was all typically Lewisian.
II make the observation that
there is now no conference" quoth
John L., chief of the soft coal
miners, as he walked grandly out
on the first meeting to negotiate
a new contract between the coal
operators and the United Mine
Workers.
UMW's present contract expires
June 80.
Lewis broke up the discussion on
1948 wage agreements when he OBJ
jected to seating Joseph E. Moody,
president of the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers association, at the confer
ence and was outvoted by the
operators.
He was not against Moody per-
sonally. Officially, his unions po-
sition was that the IA regional or
CARNATIONS which comprise the
Southern association must bargain
in IA separate groups, rather than
delegate bargaining authority to
the all-inclusive association.
According to Lewis accepted pat
tern of operation, his balk at the
Southern Coal Producers was the
opening tactical stroke in his 1948
campaign for an improved miners
contract.
Following that, he could sit back
and present the UNIV wage de-
mands in his own good time. Then,
if the coal operators did not &C.
cede, he could call the annual
strike.
Lewis knew his position was
good. The UMW's recent pension
walIxout had left the nations coal
reserves seriously depleted. BY
the time June 80 rolled around
soft coal stocks would not yet have
been built up to the point where
industry could stand a long strike.
Barring unforeseen circum-
stances, it looked like this would
develop into another injunction
case.
The union still is under an 30 day
court injunction prohibiting re-
newal of the pension strike; but
the court might rule that another
walkout would be a brand new
strike.

DAIRYINC:
TOGCrisiS

While the U. S. dairy industry
was busy promoting its 18th an
nual June Dairy Month for the pur.
pose Of selling more milk, butter,
cheese and ice cream 1t also was
taking long, critical look behind
the scenes and not liking what it
saw.
Industry analysts had spotted
what appeared to be a dangerous
trend. In its simplest form the
trend could be defined as an in.
exorable increase in the U. S. popu.
lation.
At the root Of the problem was
a stubbornly entrenched economic
condition whose factors were the
war, widespread hunger abroad
and domestic initiation.
Continuing high prices for beef
and veal have been instrumental in

Adding those conditions to the
fact that during the past few years
the nation has experienced about

That, according to some prog.
nosticators, might mean strict ra.

literally flowed with milk and
honey.
There is an immediate problem,
too. Department of agriculture has
established a goal Of 120 billion
pounds of milk in 1948, but the
dairy industry says that even with
adequate feed it will be next to
impossible to reach that goal with

/. Retain more cows ON the

2. Raise more good heifers 20
increase cow numbers.
3. Feed cows more efficiently
for increased milk production.

News Establishes
2 Branch Offices

Branch offices of the Hungry
Horse News were established this
week in Martin City and Hungry
Horse.
Representing the paper in Mar
tin City is Bon Whealdon. He will
use the town office. In Hungry
Horse, Ruth Van Ostrand will
headquarter at Neil Keim's Wapi-
ii Trading post.
The two offices are equipped to
take care of news, for sale ads, sub
scriptions and display advertising.
Though it is preferred that larger
display advertising be handled at
the main office and printing plant
of the newspaper in Columbia
Falls.
Last issue of the Hungry Horse
News had a paid circulation Of
2,O25. In its own Columbia Falls
to Bolton and Essex trade area, |
the Hungry Horse News has more |
circulation than all other news
papers put together.
Temporarily only 1000 copies of
each issue will be printed. This
VIII result in slight curtailment
of news stand sales. We expect
some improvement in our supply
of newsprint in July. In common
with many other newspapers over
the country, we have more adver-
Using than can go in our eight
pages. The space is allotted as fair
~ as possible. We say this hum
bly, for advertising is our chief
means of support. MR.

balky moments, too -.
TvER since the invention of the
IL automobile we have been a
bedeviled people. Compared with
this four-wheeled fiend, Franken-
STEMS monster was a big-hearted
philanthropist. Look what hap
pens on highways:
Triple Play. A Newark man
cracked up his car in a collision,
somehow escaped serious injury.
But the uproar maddened his dog
which had been riding with him,
and the animal bit him three
times. Then the ambulance which
picked him up caught fire. When
he finally reached the hospital, it
was for an extended stay.
Surprise. An Oregon man parked
on a hill, carefully leaving the car
in gear and setting the emergency
brake. Then he walked a few
doors downhill to an automobile
insurance Office. Just, as he was
preparing to sign on the dotted
line, there was a loud crash, and a
large object hurtled through the
plate-glass window. It was mis-
own spare wheel.

man drove into a garage one
day and complained to a me-
chanic that there was q pecul-
lar whine in his motor. The
mechanic opened the hood and
removed a month-old kitten.
Bang! Driving along a Penn
sylvania highway one night,
cautious motorist noticed a parked
car with figure slumped over the
steering wheel. He stopped to
investigate. Shouting failed to stir
the man in the car, so the Samari-
tan opened the door, A rifle, its
trigger caught in the door uphol-
