It appears that the council
members are going to leave the
selection up to the Mayor. Ihe

fails to arrive at a decision, Give

Mayor.
The task will not be an easy
one if the Mayor has to make

some circles. Contrary to that
opinion, it can be an easy out.
1t is recognized that since a Ia

position. Furthermore, an over
Whelming majority of labor in

trial city, plagued by layoffs in
big factories, has revived its
work relief program which was
originally instituted during the
depression of the early '30s.

men at once, but could be ex-
panded if the necessity arose.
The men wilr be employed as
maintenace workers, will re-
ceive 81 an hour, and the city
and state will share the cost.
In announcing the action, City
Welfare Director E. V. Stoeck-
lein said, The fact is that work
has become very hard to get.
There have been factory layoffs
and shortened workWeeks."

Act Has One Object
Throughout his remarks, Mr..
Gosser pointed out how the de-
signers of this infamous Act had
but one object in view: to shack
lie labor and to make every nor
NAL function of unions mpos-
sible.
1T is a fallacy to believe that
this Act was aimed to bring
equality to the conference table
in collective bargaining relation
ships, declared Mr.. Gosser. BY
restricting the normal functions
of unions: by giving employers
every advantage, it's purpose
was and remains so long as 1t
6& permitted to stand to make
Zee collective bargaining be-
Sfween employers and employees
Impossible.
'Furthermore," continued Mr..
Gosser, "the Act gives such auto
cratic dictatorial powers to lts
General Counsel that in effect IL
establishes that person as vir-
tual dictator over labor-manage-
ment affairs. No man, | don I
care who he is, should be per-
mitted to WELD such dictatorlal
powers"
One Particular Case
Mr.. Gosser then went into a
: recitation of the almost endless
obs4 acles which this Act places
in the path of Organized Labor.
In one instance he mentioned a
particular case in one of the
smaller Ohio towns where a
.simple case involving bargaining
y rights was placed before the Ma
tionaI Labor Relations Board
two days before the T.-H. Act
was made into law in the middle
of 1947. To this day there is no
decision in that case because the
EMPLOYER, viciously fighting the
unioa. was able to take advan-
taee of all the Acts subterfuges
including court actions-and
mus stymied the aspiration OF
the workers involved to belong
), TO a union of their own choosing.
Non Communist Affidavit

so-called non-Communlst aftl-
davit requirements of the Act.

Experts Predict Continued Upswing in Barley
Planting Due TO New Moore BorIey

A LIMITED SUPPLY of Moore Barley, the
amazing new h~igh-yield, mailing variety
originated and developed by the Wisconsin
State Experiment Station, is now available
to growers. The new Moore Barley, a greatly
improved variety, has been developed from the
Lion, Oderbrucker, Chevron and Oil varieties.
MOORE BARLEY also ranks high as a good
finishing and fattening grain for livestock.
Barley acreage, greatly reduced by wartime
demand for corn and oil crops, is now expected
to show a great increase.
BARLEY PRICES are expected to continue
high in relation to other grains and farmers
searching for a new cash crop are discovering
that the new Moore Barley should be ex-
tremely profitable. Demand for this new,
better Moore Barley seed is steadily growing.
Farmers who intend to grow Moore Barley
should arrange for their supplies at once in
order to avoid disappointment. For free
information on obtaining your seed, mail the
coupon today.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01

SEE HOW MOORE BARLEY Qgt of Unite stake stands up far
better than older varieties fright of stake. This new Moore
variety combines exceptionally strong straw with unusually
high yield. Repeated field tests prove that the thicker straw
stands up better both before and after maturity. Notice how
the heads of Moore Barley tend to remain erect at maturity.
Very few heads are lost from breaking off in the field before
harvest. The hulls of Moore Barley are thinner and stick
tighter to the kernel which results in less skinning during
threshing. Moore is adapted to crop conditions in the North
Central barley producing areas. Growers are being advised
to order their seed early due to the extremely limited supply.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01

Here Are A Few Reports
From State Ag. Depts:
IOWA: In official Lowe tests at Ames, Kama
wha and Marcus, Moore Barley ranked first
In yield of all mailing varieties.
MINNESOTA: Moore is already on the list of
recommended barley varieties as published
by the University of Minnesota. Highest
yields of all mailing types in the University
Farm trial plots 1947-48.
SOUTH DAKOTA: Moore Barley is resistant
to stem rust and has a much sitter straw
than does Odessa.
WISCONSIN,: Gin Wisconsin tests, Moore
Barley has yielded more than Wisconsin 38
and has lodged less"
NORTH DAKOTA: Moore has performed
well in yield trials and has demonstrated rust
resistance and strong straw. Highest yield of
all mailing types, two-year average, Fargo
trial tests 1947-48.
MICHIGAN: "Moore Barley is resistant to
mildew and scab under Michigan conditions,
and has a very stiff straw"
ILLINOIS: sSThis variety has proved to be
one of our most promising new entries in the
barley evaluation trials"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01

HERE IS = a CLOSEUP o. OF the the new Mi. Moore sa art a nignIy1eld
Station. In A years of tests at Madison, Moore Barley topped
all other varieties with an average yield of 57.2 bushels per
acre. In 8 years of tests in Iowa, Moore Barley has con-
sistently out yielded the older varieties. Moore yields a
mellow, maltingtype, plump white kernel approved by the
Federal Mailing Laboratories. Moore Barley is also highly
recommended because of the unusual stiffness of the straw
and good response to fertilizer treatments. Moore is a six
rowed, smooth-awned, medium-tall variety. 1t is resistant
to stem rust, spot blotch, root rot and mildew.
