by the Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The CIO
American Communications Associa-
ton today sought a Federal Court
order to force two of four struck
overseas cable firms to bargain with
the union.
It asked temporary and perma-
nent injunctions against alleged un-
fair labor practices by the two
conpanies-the Commercial Cable
Co. and the Mackay Radio e. Tele-
graph Co.
The action claimed the AGA Is
sole bargaining agent for the 5000
employees affected by the 55-day
strike and said the workers had
suffered 100000 damages as Q
result of the firms practices.
The suit contends that the firms
both subsidiaries of the Interna-
tionsi Telephone g. Telegraph Co.

coerced workers In violation Of tht
Taft Hartley Act by offering then
inducements to quit the union.

Montana Seed Exhibits
Rate High at Chicago

THOUGH ONLY three counties,
Carbon, Ravalli and Yellowstone,
were represented, Montana exhibits
at the International hay and grain
show in Chicago made an excellent
record. Almost every sample in the
state booth placed and placed well.
In the opinion of n observer,
o. P. Roberts, Carbon county agent,
the 1947 state exhibit was much SUI
perior to that of 1916 and indicates
the increasing appreciation of Mon
tana's quality seed products.
Montana placing included the re-
serve championship for wheat, won
by Gene V. Peterson of Ravalli
county, and seven firsts in the var
ious classes.
The complete list of placings is
as follows:
Hard red winter wheat-Gene V.
Peterson, Ravalli county, first, and

Agricultural Agency Bulletins
PERFORMANCE REPORTS DUE
FEB. l


ALTHOUGH the period for carry
ing out conservation practices un-
der the 1947 agricultural conserva-
ton program ended Dec. 81, farm
ers and ranchers have until Feb. l
to file reports of performance, r.
j. McKenna of Bozeman, PIMA state
committee chairman, announces.
"This period of a month between
the deadline for completing prac-
tees and the deadline for reporting
is allowed to give all participants
in the program ample time to get
in their reports" McKenna ex-
planned. MANY persons were busy
right UP to Dec. 81 completing prac-
tees and it is only fair that they
be given a reasonable time to get
their reports to the county office. A
farm will not be ELIGIBLE for a pay
ment under the 1947 agricultural
conservation program unless a re-
port covering the conservation prac-
tlceS performed on the farm is SUBJ
mitted on or before Feb. l."
The performance report is the
basis upon which an application for
payment is prepared. For this rea-
son it should include all approved
conservation practices carried out
on the farm or ranch during the
year. Certain practices, such as
seeding pasture, spreadine ferti-
lizer and eradicating weeds with
chemical, carr payments based upon
the quantity of material used or ex-
: pense incurred. When practices of
this type have been performed, tags,
receipts or similar substantiating
evidence must be attached to the
report to aid in determining the
payment earned.

Farmers Must File Tax
Estimates by Jan. IS

THOMAS M. ROBINSON, collector
of internal revenue for the district

1948, is the deadline for filing orig
inal or amended declarations of es-
timated tax for the calendar year
1947.
Farmers or those taxpayers who
receive at least two-thirds of their
gross income from farming are given
the privilege under the law of post
poning filing their declarations un-
til not later than Jan. Is of the fol-
lowing year instead of March Is of
the calendar year when other tax
payers are required to file an esti-
mate.
Even though an estimated return
is filed on 1040 ES and the estimated
tax paid by Jan. Is, 1913, a final re-
turn for 1947 on Form 1040 must
still be filed on or before March
Is, 1913.
Farmers may save themselves the
trouble of filing two returns, a dec
laration of estimated tax on Jan. Is
and a final On March Is, if they file
a final return for 1947 of Form 1040
and pay their tax in full on or be-
fore Jan. Is, 1913.
Federal income tax blanks for
1947 have been mailed to farmers
and they should arrange to file their
estimated or final return by Jan. Is.

ucts to so to 80 percent higher than
preWar levels, to include a moving
average price index of the last 10

regardless of whether farmers adj
here to government quotas.
In other resolutions the bureau
urged promotion of international CO.
operation and trade and supported
the principle of reciprocal trade
agreements. 1t recommended the

agencies as the soil conservation
service, agricultural adjustment adj
ministration and Commodity Credit
Corp, but stressed the necessity for

posing general reduction of income

imposition of price control and ra-
tioning, recommending initiation con.
troll through attention to monetary

and termed the tax question a
merely a cover under which to at
tack the principles of farmer co
operation"

Corporation Faces
Two Law Suits

James Leavy, attorney for A.
j. Thompson, said today that he
was preparing a court action
against the Pioneer Iron Works,
Inc, charging that the corpora
ton has failed TO live up TO its
contractual obligations.
Another action will be filed in
the near future, he said, asking
that the corporation be restrained
from the use of the Pioneer Iron
Works portion Of the firm name.
Speaking for his client, A. J.
Thompson, Leavy said that the
premises recently occupied by
the Pioneer Iron Works, Inc,
were, seriously damaged during
their occupancy, and that ma
chinery was damaged to an ex-
tent that made il unusable.
Herb Owens, spokesman for
the corporation, said:
$50 far as we know, we have
kept the spirit and the letter Of
our agreement. We are surprised
that any legal action is contem-
plated against us at this time,
particularly in view of the fact
that the Pioneer Iron Works, Inc,
checked all tools covered by our
lease item by item Sunday night.
