Montana-Dakota consumers
Here's An Organization
Worthy of Your Support

Montana Dakota Utilities Sec
ond attempt in a year to "rail-
road extortionary electric and gas
increases through the Public Serv-
ice Commission last week resulted
in the formation of the Northeast
ern Montana Gas and Electric Con-
sumers Association. The new as
ISOLATION, which it's organizers in
tend to establish as a permanent
watch dog" for consumers inter-
ests, has its headquarters in Glas-
cow.
Purpose of the moment of the
association is to defeat the 20 to
rs per cent increases in natural
gas charges that Montana-Dakota
is attempting to levy against the
thousands of consumers served by
the monopoly in eastern Montana.
The organization, through its of
ficers will also keep close contacts
alive in Helena, that in future the
people of the eastern part of the
state may be forwarned of any at
tempt by MDU to secure higher
rate schedules, without a thorough
investigation of the utility's need
for such increases.
M A. Wright, of 1925 3rd Ave.
S.,Glasgow, and legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, has been
elected chairman of the associa-
ton. Gordon White, Glasgow at
torney, is vice chairman, and Troy
Breikjern, also of Glasgow, is Sec
retary-treasurer.
According to Chairman Wright,
a membership drive is being gotten
underway Immediately to secure
sufficient funds for NMG&ECA
to carry on the fight against the
current heavy increases being
sought on natural gas by Montana
Dakota.
Memberships can be secured
from the above officers, or from
NeIs Bach, Box 688, Sidney; Guy
Miller, Clerk of Court, Wolf Point,
and John Amestoy, Hinsdale.
Other local membership chairmen
will likely be named within a few
days.

Salient Points About Rate Controversy

Here are some of the highlights
now available concerning the con-
troversy between Montana-Dakota
Utilities Company and their con-
sumers in eastern Montana:
Although Public Service Commits
sion, as a matter of policy, usually
gives either party to a rate schedule
hearing ten days notice, in this in
stance the consumers only received
six days. Further, though Montana
Dakota had undoubtedly spent
months preparing their side of the
proposition, representatives of north
eastern Montana had only one and a
half hours in which to peruse INDUS
application for increases before the
hearing commenced. The complete
transcript Of the Miles City meeting
was not in the hands of consumers
representatives until August al
most two weeks after Miles City
hearing ONLY two days before

for August 81 hearing in Helena.
