Lincoln Officials
Attend State Assn
Meeting Lost Week

Commissioner and Mrs. James

Mrs. Geo. c. Earle drove to Mis-
soula Thursday of last week to
attend the 39th Annual Meeting of
the Montana Association of County
Commissioners. The meeting was
held at the Florence Hotel May 81,
% and 90
The entire program was out
standing the Lincoln County dele
gates state The address by Scott
P. Hart. state highway engineer on
The Highway Outlook in Mon
tana' was of especial interest and
while not too encouraging, for It
showed the lack of state funds for
highway use, was quite illumina-
ting as to why more efficient high
wav work cannot be accomplished
Other interesting addresses were
made by George w. Morgan, Salt
Lake City. president, National Ass
County Officials; Frank W. Wiley,
Helena, director, Montana Aero
nautics Commission; and Dr. B. K.
Kilbourne of the Montana State
Board of Health.
The discussion of County land
was also of especial in
terest to those present. The senti-
ment seems to be opposed to a re
valuation which it is considered
would only be temporary The re
port of the Public Land Committee
was of especial interest to the Lin
coin County officials, for this
county's lands are 8212a6 nontax-
able, while only 1712% of the lands
are taxable. Commissioner Ma
honey was reappointed to this com
mittee of five members.
The Trout Dinner and Entertain
ment given Friday by the Equip
ment and Supply Dealers and Man
ufacturers of Montana in the Hotel
Florence's Florentine Gardens, was
to quote one of the ladies, "a most
lovely affair" and was enjoyed by
the visitors from all over the state.

tives returned home Saturday.

Committees Do Not
Agree On Details

Negotiations between the J. Nells
Lumber CompanyS negotiating com
mlttee and committees from the
LoggerS Local No 1862 and Mill
Workers Local No 1881 were at a
deadlock after meeting in joint ses-
sion last Tuesday evening. There
were three points on which the
management and locals could not
agree.
Both parties agreed on the one
and two weeks vacation with pay,
but the company committee re-
queSted the same vacation clause
as last year with vacation length
depending upon 40 weeks opera
tionS of the Sawmill The union
committees did not favor having
any strings tied to the contract. To
be brief, the company expressed
itself as desiring protection against
any major disaster which might
affect the entire plant, but their
request was not agreeable to the
unions.
The second disagreement was re-
gardlng men employed by the com
pany in supervisory position. The
company maintained that in case of
of operations, those in
positions should be al
lowed to resume their former posi-
lions with full seniority rights The
unions did not agree to this, be-
ieving if man was promoted to
A supervisory position and took a
from the union, he
should lose his seniority if he took
lis withdrawal during the time he
vas supervisor
The third disagreement was in
egard to primary and regular cleo
ion days The union desires these |
Wo days as holidays, which would /
lecessitate time and one-half on
he sixth day in the work week at /
uch times The company stated |
hat it already allows seven holt
lays in the year, and the adding !
f election days as holidays would /
make nine holidays.

siphoned into barrels, transferred
to canoe and floated TO the gas
trucks as a precautionary measure
against fuel shortage had the crisis

Nearly every business house in
the lower section of the downtown

from the overlooked Easements. A
steady stream Of curious and ar

the overpass to note the raise or
fall of the threatening waters, with
many Wagers being made as TO the
severity of the flood and the time

Yesterday morning flood waters
in the river at Libby had receded
from a high of 1875 feet Friday at

McGrew, official observer, and
stood at $50 feet.
Red Cross Disaster Chairman Don

Wired officials of the Great North

noval of sandbagS from certain sec
ions of the company's track in Lib

bought would lower the back water
