Junta in San Salvador
Takes First Small Step
Toward Helping Labor
BY ChorIes Fernandez


SAN SALVADOR, Ell Salvador
Aug. 25.-Obviously wary Of Com
munist agitation. the revolution
ary junta governing this tiny.
overcrowded Central American
country has taken the first steps
toward recognition Of 1ong-neg-
lected labor.
The youthful quartet has de-
creed that workers in commerce
and industry, with some excep-
tions, shall contract individually
with employers on the basis Of
prescribed minimum working
terms.
The individual-contract idea
apparently was adopted to fore
stall formation Of labor unions
which. in the hands of Commu-
nists, might become political
weapons rather than agents for
legitimate settlement Of the
workers.
Has No Unions.
Salvador still has no recognized
labor unions, but the railroad
workers organization has achiev-
ed the status of q union In fact
II not In name.
It was after the railroad work.
ers-doubtlessly Influenced by
their Red-tinged counterpart in
bordering Guatemala-waged q
successful strike against the Sal
vador branch Of the American
owned International Railway of
Central America that the junta
came through with its novel labor
plan.
Big object Of the rail strike
was to force the custer of j. H.
Wilson, the railways Salvador
general manager. The workers got
what they wanted-Mr. Wilson.
The workers struck for Mr..
Wilson's custer even after all their
other demands had been granted
and even after the junta had de-
clared the strike illegal. The junta
finally yielded to the pressure of
q two-week rail tie-up and ordered
Mr.. Wilson to leave the country
within u hours.
Expected Upsurge Failed.
Businessmen generally thought
the hoodgates had been loosed.
Some American executives here
were going around saying: I'm
next
But the expected upsurge of
labor elsewhere failed to come,
supporting the belief of many
observers that the rail strike was
maneuvered largely by extremist
leaders of the roads mainline
unions in Guatemala.
The junta itself betrayed its
apprehension over inf1ltration of
Guatemalan agitators. When
Jose Manuel Fortuny, a pinkish
Guatemalan labor leader. came
here and took to the soapbox, the
junta's soldiers politely escorted
him to the Honduran border.
The other day the junta, con-
sisting Of two army majors and
two civilians, indicated 1t soon
would permit formation of po-
litical parties to build up to cleo
ton Of a constituent assembly
but that Communist or Comnfu-
nist-front groups would be strictly
taboo.
Potentially Explosive.
The labor situation in this
coffee-rich country is potentially
explosive because Of wide
feudal-like gap between the landed
aristocracy and the working class.
Here everybody. rich and poor,
works long and hard but with
sharply varying returns for their
efforts.
The junta seems bent on mar
rowing the gap gradually without
d. inviting extremist agitation which
would make everybody the loser
except maybe the opportunist
Communists. ,...

The Montana-Dakota Rate
Increase Request

Elsewhere in this issue is a lengthy article
based on a recent analysis by the Federal
Power Commission of the current financial
condition of the Montana-Dakota Utilities
Company. After giving it your thoughtful
consideration, [ am sure you will join with
the people from various eastern Montana
communities who came to Helena last week
to protest the granting of an electrical rate
increase purportedly ranging from II to Al
per cent to the Montana-D Dakota company
The full FPC analysis proves conclusively
that, if the Public Service Commission would
do justice to the people served by that utility,
it would entertain a move for another public
hearing and demand that the company show
cause why substantial rate reductions should
not be granted throughout eastern Montana
This proposed rate increase is not alone
Of interest to only those people served by
Observation-Disclosures Decidedly, it should also
be of great interest to all customers of Mon
tana Power. 1t is reasonable to assume, in
view of recent "tough-sledding" propaganda
by Montana Power, that should Montana
Dakota get away with its proposed rate
squeeze, MI will soon be along pleading pow

would make silicosis a compensate

Public Service Commission

Reports are that legislation may
be introduced before the Sunday
deadline requiring that a survey OF
the properties of the various utili-
ties operating within the state be
made that valuations for taxation
purposes may be brought into closer
harmony with the valuations used in
determining rate structures.
This could be one of the most inn
portant pieces of legislation proposed
in the 1949 session, and, if by a
miracle it were enacted, it could be
the means of forcing the utilities to
either reduce their rates (based on
watered-stock capitalization or to
pay taxes in accord with the valua-
tons which they claim in setting
rates.
While it is too much to hope for
that such a measure could be enacted
this session, it would serve a most
useful purpose in bringing to light
facts as to the wide discrepancies
now existing in the two sets of books
kept by some of the utilities of the
state. Further, a roll call on such a
measure would give the people an
excellent opportunity to determine
whether the men they elected to
serve them were actually their rep
resentatives-or the lackeys of the
most powerful and ruthless lobby
tending bar in Helena.l
Severance Taxes

for the levying and collection of sew
erance taxes and ALLEGATION of the
revenue derived therefrom to the pub
lie school fund :" is revenue meas
lre most worthy of favorable con-
;ideration by the legislature. Under
is terms, for example, the first 500
1ons of coal mined per month would
not be subject to tax, thus would
not be a hindrance on small opera
,ors. Similar exemptions would be
provided on metal ores, oil, gravel
md sand, forest products, etc. The
ill would also produce a special pro-
luction tax of mills per 1 900 cubic
eet of natural gas produced within
he state.
Natural resources, with the posi-
lie exception of timber, once ex-
dotted can not be replaced. AS each
generation exploits the earth, that
much less in resources is left for flu 5
ure generations. Severance taxes :
