S83, 100000 in 1888 to an estimated
$235, 100000 in 1947.
The commission also reported
that there are bright prospects of
1913 employment and that the wear
may develop into one of the great
est employment in state history
During January 1896 workers were
hired by Montana EMPLOYERS
through 80 local employment Of
ices as compared to 1,141 place

Fire Fighters Group
To Vote Again Today
On Segregation Here

District firemen belonging to the
International Association of Fire
Fighters will have another -oppor-
tunity today to express themselves
on race segregation in the Fire
Department.
At the call of Capt. Joseph w.
Conroy, local president, they will
meet at $50 am. and 8 pm. to
reconsider resolutions handed to the
Commissioners Friday opposing a
change from the present segregation
policy.
Capt. Conroy explained he was
calling the meetings because the
resolutions represented sentiment of
only 20 per cent of the associations
600 members and he said he felt 9TH
ers should have voice in SO vital
an issue.
The local president disclaimed
responsibility for inspiring or spon-
soring the resolutions. He said
they were the brain child" of Capt.
Curtis E. McGhee, chairman of the
union segregation committee" and
that Capt. McGhee had circulated
the resolutions among Southern
Congressmen" at the Capitol before
turning them over to the Commis-
sionerS.
Capt. Conroy made 1t plain that
he hoped larger vote would swing
the tenor of the resolution the other
way, at least for a neutral express
sion on the controversial issue.
Two questions are involved: a.
Whether the union approves the
integration of white and colored
firemen or continuation of the pres
ent system of separate white and
colored companies, and 90 whether
colored firemen should be required
to attain top rating on the civil
service register before being ap-
pointed captains.
| At the earlier meetings, the fire.
men voted, "a to 16, for continued
segregation, and 80 to 81 that COL
ored flremen attaining captaincies
should lead the civil service register.

well above the already excessive
level which prevailed in 1947.
And now there are new factors
that have made the outlook for in
fation considerably worse.
Key Prices Increased.
Some key prices have been in
creased, unwisely and unnecessarily
The outstanding case was. of course
the increase in some important steel
prices. l believe that the business
men who made these increases did
not consider their far-reaching ef-
feet on the rest of the economy
They made the regrettable decision
to increase prices even though they
were already making record profits
In the face of these actions. other
businessmen with a greater regard
for the public welfare, have fought
a losing battle to keep their prices
down.
In addition to these price in
creases, initiation has been encour-
aged by some unnecessary Interrupt
tions to production. The outstand-
ing example. of course, was the
work stoppage In the coal industry
The serious effect of the loss of coal
production shows the narrow mar
gin of supply on which We are
operating, and how quickly short
ages of basic materials can cripple
our entire economy.
Another new factor making fol
imitation is the bill recently enacted
by the Congress reducing Govern.
