cation of seniority; defining va

principal of pensions and has been
studying and considering the gen.
eral subject of pensions for some
time" the employee publication
stated.
Also quoted from Between Our
selves" are the following para
graphs:
"You realize that the establish
ment Of a pension plan is a very
important undertaking and that
all parties must consider and
fully understand its long range
benefits, obligations and costs.
Therefore, we feel we must
complete our study of the whole
question and look at the economic
situation in each of our divisions
before reaching a decision, and un-
til this is done we cannot say that
we will or will not agree upon a
pension plan, nor can we fix a
time when any plan can be made
effective.
"Your company has no DISPOSE
tion to delay unnecessarily. We
are actively continuing to study
the whole subject of pensions, in
cluding the proposal just receiv-
ed from your union representa-
tives, and all phases of this mat
ter will be discussed with them
just as soon as we are in a posi-
tion to do so intelligently."

storm area this morning, said
mo estimate Of the damage is
possible at this time but from
all indications the hail storm
is one of the most destructive
ever to hit this portion of the
state" %z +.
Lawrence Koebbe, who was at
the Koebbe ranch south of
Hardin when the hail struck,
said a complete survey had not
been made, but estimated the
damage at possibly SO per cent
on the Koebbe ranch. He said
he believed other farms in the
area had greater damage and
mentioned the Jess SchWend
place as being hard hit.

located in the hail storm area,
but no word from there had
been received this morning.
According to County Clerk

miles west of Hardin, his en-
tire crop consisting of approxi-
mately 1876 acres was damaged
from 90 to 100 per cent.

Attorney Warns Of
Law on
Sale Of Liquor

Big Horn County Attorney
Bert w. Kronmiller this week
informed the Herald
that an act passed by the 1949
Montana legislature in regard
to sale of liquor to minors, be-
came effective July /, 1949.
The act provides that any
person who shall sell, give
away or dispose of intoxicating
liquor to any person under 81
years of age shall be subject
to punishment for the first
offenSe to a fine of not ex-
ceeding $500 and imprisonment
in the county Jail not exceed
ing six months, or both. For
the second offense, a maximum
fine of $4,000 may be assessed
and from one to five years in
the state prison.
The attorney further called
attention to the law with res
pect to its provision relating
to married persons and stated
that marriage is not an eXcep-
ton under the law. The fact
that a person under 81 years
of age is married does not per-
init the sale or disposal to
such person. Sale to such mar
ried person is as much a vio-
lation of the act as sale or
disposal to a single person.
Kronmiller also pointed out
a provision of the law which
provides that any person who
causes or permits a person un-
der Is years of age to visit
or patronize a place where in
toxicating liquor is sold or
who keeps or permits such
person in and about a place
where spirituous liquors are
sold shall upon conviction be
fined not less than SO nor
more than $1,000, or imprison-
ed in he county jail for a per-
iod not exceeding nine months,
or both.
The county attorney said he
was notifying all liquor vendors
of the law, but desired to pub
licly notify all parents and
guardians that when they take
a child into a place where Ii
quor is sold they are also vio-
lating the law themselves and
are subjecting the proprietor to
violation. In addition to the
penalty provided, a proprietor
may also lose his license by
cancellation Of the same.
