Out.of.the.State Drivers

To the Editor Of The Star:
Speaking of Maryland not having automobile
inspection. I would like to give my views.
True, there are cars on the road that should
not be there. but the average person keeps
his car in good repair and especially when he
expects to travel out Of the State. How about
people who shouldn't be on the road? That
seems to be the issue today, what with all
these new cars, such as those that are trying
to fly to Florida from the North. Why don't
they get airplanes if they're in such a hurry?
People who disregard stop lights, speed
limits, men working signs patrol boys, ETC.,
are at fault. In two days two persons were
killed on highway 3o1 because they were ex-
ceeding the speed limit and very probably
couldn't control their cars.
Yes, this is free State-but not so free
that we can do away with certain laws. Why
not fine speeders more and take away their
permits for 80 days? What Is needed in
Maryland now is more State troopers and
more speed-limit signs warning against speed
ing. 1t Is not safe for Marylanders to drive
along the highways at a reasonable rate of
speed Why must out-of-State drivers abuse
the privileges of today's good roads?
MRS. RITA EDELEN
From a Constitutional Democrat
To the Editor OF The Star:
Republicans no doubt will remember that
many of their party were placed in power in
1946 by Democratic voters which were pro-
testing the policies of bureaucracy and the
inhltration Of radicals into our Government.
1t also should be remembered that these same
people can easily again reverse themselves in
the 1850 congressional and Senate elections.
The Republicans attack on some radical New
Deal legislation would have been futile had
they not been joined by bloc of loyal and
constitutional Democrats. Unfortunately, we
of the North have too few of this type of
constitutional and patriotic Democratic poll
ticians.
I firmly believe that it would be well for the
Democrats Of the North to sit up now and take
notice that we have no longer provision for
the right Of States to govern their own
affairs" in our Democratic platform. It is just
q important for VI Of the North u for those

Outlook for Pulp

We hope folks down in Kalis-
pel aren't holding their breath for
the start of pulp mill plant activi-
ties.
After you live in the Flathead
for a few months, you find that
northwestern Montana has a pulp
mill future. Nearly every year
there are representative from the
midwest paper companies that
come out here to look things over.
The Kalispell chamber of COM
merce has just received such an
inquiry; Whitefish and Columbia
Falls get them too.
About three years ago there was
the Montana-Idaho Co. proposal
to locate a pulp grinding mill at
Columbia Falls, and they picked
Poison for the site of their main
plant meanwhile selling stock. De-
velopments are apparently slowed.
The Bonneville Power Admin
istration study of the Flathead
completed in 1945 described the
Flathead's pulp future. We quote:
"The fairly large Engelmann
spruce timber stands of the re-
gion suggest their use in pulp and
paper manufacture. This is a poss-
Utility which has been given con-
sideration at various times over
the past 35 years. The outlook to-
day (1945) is probably the best
it has ever been. The industry in
some sections of the United States
is right at the edge Of the last
frontier in resources"
Among the further statements
"Under existing railroad rates,
however, pulp which might be
in the area (Flat-
head) would move at exactly the
same cost as pulp from plants on

With late April and early May

ermen and campers. The out
doorsmen flipped cigarette butts
and matches or neglected camp
fires.
Result is that an average of 289
acres of Flathead national forest
timber Has been destroyed each
year by man-caused fires. In terms
of lumber it has meant SO homes a
year; from the standpoint Of peace
full, pleasant fishing streams it has
brought a blighted ghost-like last
ing lifetime look to great sec
tons of our out-of-doors.
In 1881 there were 81 man caus-
ed and "a lightning started fires;
in 1886 it was "a by man and $50
by lightning. Then came the war
years; with forests less frequent
ed man started but 5 fires and
so in 1913. Wet years
1916 had 9 by man and rs by.
1947 had by man and
rs by lightning, and 1913 II by
man and % by lightning. Our
percentage is up; we started third
of last summers fires.

caused fires since 1881 shows

April was warmer and dryer
han normal, and May is hot for

core low. Put the cigarettes and

When it comes to fighting for
est fires, rangers would much ra-
Their cope with lightning than they
would with man. Nature usually
gives some warning of lightning
started fires. There's the prelude
much as in a stage play or opera
as the clouds billow, thunder rum
bles and lightning flashes and
sometimes strikes.
From mountain top lookoutS,
men watch for the strikes or tell
tale puffs of smoke. Airplanes
scout the area after the storm.
But when it comes to man-caus-
ed fires. They get sneaky start.
A lookout has no particular warn
ing of where or when. Except that
man can be counted on to start
fires at lower elevations where
timber is thicker and there's an
updraft. More considerate is ma
ture, for when lightning strikes,
it's usually closer to the crags.
This weekend at Coram ranger
station, Flathead national forest
men are in annual session to dis
cuss fire prevention and fire fight
ing before taking up summer as
signments at the various district
headquarters. Among the talks was
one by Dispatcher Carter Helseth
whose graphs show 10 years of
Elathead national forest fires.
These graphs point out that the
men and women who should be
saving our forests actually are the
people who tend to destroy them.

Canada with its large stands

This Bonneville administration
report has been our best reference
for facts and economic develop
ment of the Flathead. 1t was COM
pleted in 1915.
Too often newspapers are in
clined to see an incident in terms
of will this make headlines for
an issue or two. Lacking is sin
cere interest to really dig in for
the good of the whole community,
and then follow it up.
Now we need pulp grinding
mill or paper plant in the Flathead.
It may help us curb seasonal I'M
employment.
There is the raw material, and
incidentally the Glacier View dis
trict North Fork) has the biggest
concentration of pulp wood.
Hungry Horse dam will bring
cheaply produced and abundant
power.
Discouraging to industry are the
high freight rates, the 1875 to $50
mill levy taxes, and the small
local market.
We hope that change brought
by Hungry Horse power will Of

per company people to invest mo-

When these terrors strike per-
sons unknown to us they may not
register with much force. But any
of them can strike home any day.
Think of that-and when you are
appealed to for support of a drive

fields, don't turn away with dis
dain. Help if you can, but at least
have a bit of sympathy.
Death inevitably follows birth

Western Union Reports
Business Losses, Union
Charges incompetence

New York LPA) - Walter p.
Marshall, president of Western
Union Telegraph Co., was faced
with angry stockholders last week
at the annual shareholders meet
ing.
The irate coupon clippers COM
planned about what one called "the
worst managed company whose
stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange" The company
lost $300,000 in March, $1,013,019
in February, and S1,220,972 in
January.
A representative of Local 1,
Commercial Telegraphers Union
AFL, which owns ten shares of
stock in the company, complained
to the meeting that only 500 of
Western Union employees are COW
cred by the pension plan which
pays them only $4 and $5 month
after a lifetime of service.
Marshall, in turn, attacked the
union for making wage demands
while the company was losing
money. He referred to complaint
the CTU filed with the Senate In
terstate & Foreign Commerce Com
mittee recently accusing the Fed
eral Communications Commission
of utter lack of supervision" of
Western Union.
at is a matter of common know
LEDGE" union officers had told the
Committee chairman, "that the
quality of telegraph service has de-
teriorated to such a point that the
very existence of the industry is
at stake"
CTU reminded the Senators that
they had passed a law in 1943 al
lowing Postal Telegraph and West
ern Union to merge with the hope
that "a monopolistic telegraph SER
vice would give superior service to
that being rendered by the two
competing companies"
"That hope," the union pointed
out, "has long since proven ground
less because of the unwillingness
of the Western Union Telegraph
Co. to give adequate service to the
nation, and because of the deliber-
ate refusal of the FEC to live up
to its obligation to see to it that
Western Union does give adequate
service"
The complaint went on to cite
case after case where Western
Union closed down agencies with
the consent of the Commission and
substituted totally inadequate ser
vice being rendered by hot dog
stands, real estate firms, funeral
parlors and the like"
h9"In order to violate existing
wage-hour laws" the union charg-
ed. western Union has even
ere ted fake and nonexistent
agencies" 1t accused the COM
mission of refusing even to accept
evidence on these cases.

Tdft-Hdrtley
Law Hos Not
Cut Strikes

Washington (LPA)-One of the
favorite claims of the Taft Hart
leyites was thoroly refuted last
week when the Bureau of Labor
Statistics published it's final data
on work stoppages in 194S and
preceding years. The record shows
clearly that the anti-union law has
not reduced strikes.
There were 3419 strikes last
year, resulting in 34,100,000 days
of lost work, as compared with
3693 strikes and 34,6O0,OO0 lost
days in 1947-during four months
of which aft-Hartley was operat-
ing. Last year was THIS only full
year.
I Nearly 60a6 of all strikes last
year had wage increases as their
sole or principal issue. The Taft
Hartleyites have never admitted
that their law was designed to af-
feet wage negotiations. Best claim
on the unanalysed figures that the
Taft -Hartleyites can make is that
there were under 896 fewer strikes
in a year when TIL operated IL
months than in year when it was
at work for four months.
When printing trades, mining
and maritime stoppages, prompted
by or extended by Taft-Hartley it
self are taken into account, even
this claim is negated.
Sharpest rebuttal of the anti
union claim, however, is contained
in the comparison between the
Taft Hartley era and the pre-war
Wagner act days.
The average number of strikes
during the peace-time life Of the
Wagner act was 1882 per year,
about 600 fewer in a year than
during the reign of Taft Hartley.
The greatest number Of strikes
occurred in the reconversion year
of 1946-4985. In early 1947, be-
fore Taft-Hartley was enacted, the
number of strikes declined sharply
because industry had been re-
geared to the peacetime pattern,
not because of changes in federal
labor law.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-21

"A recent innovation which the
Commission has granted" the CTU
complaint said, "is the taking over
of independent Western Union of
fees by telephone companies as So
called agents. =. We believe that
this is definitely in conflict with
the spirit and letter of the Sher-
man antitrust law. Western
Union and Bell System have filed
joint petition covering 80 states
in which it is proposed that West
ern Union turn over it's telephone
business to Bell and that Bell turn
over it's telegraph business to
Western Union; Bell will also give
bonus or subsidy of several mil
lion dollars to Western Union"
The union has filed formal objec-
tions to this deal.
Western Union, CTU charged, is
deliberately committing suicide and
then will go to Congress with
plea of poverty and ask for
merger of telephone and telegraph.
As for pay raises, the union says
that reasonably competent man
agement Cor even some slight de-
gree of business acumen) would
very quickly put Western Union in
a position where it could pay it's
employees decent wages and oper-
ate far more profitably than at
present"
