1t went on to point out the adj
vantages enjoyed by travellers who
chose this destination in preference
to Fort Benton - miles saved, both
by water and by land, in reaching
the mines at Bannack and Virginia
City.
Fort Benton's rival town was little
more than a section of land south of
the Yellowstone and Big Horn
rivers, at their junction. It had been
laid out and named by James Stu
art and his party in 1868, when
they made that eventful but I'M

the headwaters of the Yellowstone.

Stuart had chosen for himself a
strip of ground between, and touch
ing both rivers. James York, another
member of the party, got the spit
of land which pointed into the
water. The .city" was bordered on
three sides by claims. Z
At least three of its founding
fathers did not live to complete
their journey, and a fourth, George
Ives, shortly after his return to the
gold camps, became the first victim
of vigilante justice.
Since John Copelin, who used the
poster to advertise passage on three
boats up the Missouri that spring,
mentioned Dance and Stuart as ref
erences, it is possible that he had
business connections with them
James Stuart's business interests
covered a ranch at Deer Lodge, {

to his sponsorship of a new river
port, designed to bring the mines

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Liter

At least, its last editor found
himself grinning over the hangover
now affiicting the public opinion
polls. All picked Gov. Dewey to
beat President Truman. It was the
Digest in 1886. which quietly folded
its tent and went out of business
after picking Landon to beat Roose-
welt.

takes. I'm afraid the word science
isn't going to be used with a poll
for a long time.
I'm fact, I think that national
political polls will be non-existent
for long time. We are still laughed
at. And those pollsters will meet the
same ridicule when they try to

agreed with this insistence on
surrender to Taft-Hartley inter
ference in internal union affairs,
although Greenhouse earlier had
told the local leadership and the
company that the affidavits were
being used as false issue.
James S. Tate, local president,
told the workers that compliance
would solve none of their prob
lens.
1T isn't patriotism that the
company wants to safeguard"
TATE pointed out. ITS their

But he assured the local that
if it was the desire of the ma
jority that the union comply, he
would step aside in order that
the wishes of the membership
might be carried out.
+
WHEN a vote was taken, it
was found that a majority did
favor compliance.
Tate resigned, as did James
Dade, member of the local ex-
ecutive' board and bargaining
committee man, and DAD Stew
art, union guide and member of
the executive board.
The three pledged that they
would carry on the fight on the
pickeflines until the company
grants the workers demands. De-
spite the designations. the COM
panY still refuses TO bargain with
the local-a tacit admission that
its aim was not merely to purge
the union. but to smash it.
Tate was instrumental in or
ganizing the Kensington workers
into the UAW in 1912. Since then
he has been an officer of the

Kensington strikers
reject >phony' offer

Two hundred and thirty strik-

Auto Workers (CIO) this week
rejected as "phony" another 'of-
fer" from the Kensington Steel
Co. and voted to maintain their
picketlines outside the plant at
sos E. Kensington for the eighth
consecutive week.
The progressive-1ed local has
been caught IN two way
squeeze between the company
and the right-wing leadership of
the international union. But the
strike remained solid.
For five weeks the interna-
tional union. which is dominated
by right-wing forces led by Wal
ter Reuther. UAW president. had
refused to pay strike benefits to
the members.
EMIL Marcy, international
secretary treasurer, had said that
the strike benefits would not be
paid as long as the locals pro-
gressive leadership, swept into
office by the membership last
February, remained in control.
The same attitude was taken by
Pat Greenhouse, UAW regional
director.
Their arguments echoed those
of the company, which provoked
the strike by its refusal to en-
gage in collective bargaining
while the local leadership re-
manned in office.
