Montana labor news., 1948-06-03

IN the present congress. we are
seeing special interest groups riding
the wave of public indignation-and
no small part of that Indignation was
propaganda created-for the avowed
and definite purpose Of returning the
workers of the nation to pre-Roose-
welt serfdOm. 1t is also aimed return
ing and maintaining the west in a
poor relation economy status. One
might with reason call it the Repub-
lican MOrganthau planned economy
for the west. BY these ~insideous
propaganda techniques, this congress
has introduced. and partially passed
extreme punitive legislation for the
gripping and suppression of social
and economic problems of labor and
the west.
Even the friends of the Taft-fIartley
law will admit that this law was the
direct result of pressure and propa.
ganda. What was needed was not
vicious punitive legislation, but rather
legislation which sought to balance
the rights and interests of labor and
management and through such bal.
ance and reasoned planning best pro-
tect the interests OF not only the two
cOntending forces. but also the whole
public. This Differentiated congress
has conveniently forgotten that higher
law which all history says and proves
that when an iron-fisted government
attempts by force to push either free
workers or free management into gov
ernmentally dictated mould ii will en-
danger, and if persisted in. will tram
pie out all inalienable rights Of the
individual. In times of reasonable
prosperity, the full effect OF such leg.
.islation is apt to be ignored, but let
mo say that should we again suffer a
depression, with hunger and un-em-
ployment widespread over the land,
then, and cruelty then would the
American public quickly find that/the
law is based upon a rule
or principle Of government by force.
Then will the public find that force
has supplante1 government by reason
and law.

emphatic in his remarks on the need
for government ownership. "Perman-

Bringing badly needed food and supplies for town, the Reefer Clipper, trading vessel out of Seattle, was forced to turn and saM for the open sea last Thurs day night while only 2 hours cut sf Kodiak.
 The Clipper with a tired and thankful crew made port late Saturday afternoon after "going through one of the worst ex. HeFiences in a long time" accord SRg ts engineer Dick Epler.

 We weren't feeling too op- tinistic about our chances at that time. Some one IL entioned his wife and children and l was shinking,o my wife and boy" Mr. Patton sad
 The Reefer Clipper is a ll2 foot fotmer navy sub chaser and was purchased last winter by l , O'nonnell and MT, Patton
