OPERATING RAIL UNION REPRESENTATIVES Oxen
LLEYAUTH0RiTIES. ENDORSE CANDIDATES

Four of Montana's largest railroad
brotherhoods this week went on rec
ord endorsing both the proposed Col
umbia Valley Administration (CVA)
and a Missouri Valley Authority
(MVA.)
This action was taken Tuesday at
a joint legislative meeting in Helena
of representatives of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, Order
of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen.
In urging the Congress to enact
both eva and MVA legislation the
joint legislative representatives list
ed six major reasons for the neces-
sity for an integrated development
program.
/. To control and prevent floods.
2. To further reclamation of arid
lands and to conserve soils.
3. Make possible a large-scale ferti-
lizer program for greatly needed
soil improvement.
a. Expedite reforestation and i'm
prove federal grazing lands.
s. More rounded improvement and
creation of recreational areas.
6. To extend irrigation and the elm
ination of land erosion, and to
conserve our wildlife resources.
Concluding, the joint group resolv-
ed =" that such program of de-

The Voice has repeatedly warned in recent
weeks that there is grave danger of losing the
Havre-Shelby transmission lines. All rumors to
the contrary Notwithstanding, the danger is even
more grave today than few weeks back. Here
are the facts-as phoned the Voice by state REA
association secretary, Harold Ebaugh, Havre:
Montana Power Company lobbyists have inter
viewed every member of Senate Appropriations
Committee to urge that no further funds be ap-
propriated for completion of project-installation
of substations, ETC.
. Montana Power has offered to buy up all govern
ment obligations thus far incurred line
struction.
. Montana Power has offered to buy power from
Bureau of Reclamation to energize Havre-Shelby
line they obtain ownership.
. The committee report to the full Senate will be
favorable to cancellation of further government
construction on Havre-Shelby.

Presently authorized projects under the
Pick-Sloan Missouri valley development plan,
so-caIIed, will require almost million acre
feet of water more per year than the average
run-off of that river, Jerome G. Locke, region
al engineer for MVA has advised the Presi-
dents Water Resources Policy Commission,
meeting in Denver this week
Locke based his contention upon facts
and figures set forth in official Bureau
of Reclamation report issued early this
year. Although the report is now several
months old, it has been 'kept under wraps"
and knowledge of its existence first became
known via the Library of Congress.

lumbia may approach the magnitude
of 1913. In that year, many millions
of dollars loss were sustained by in
dustry, and agriculture, due to the
floods. Also, it is estimated that 100
million tons of top soil were washed
away. This was enough soil to provide
an 8 inch layer per acre for 1900
farms of 80 acres each.
But, though floods attest to the
enormous power potential with which
the Northwest is blessed, power COM
panies of the area cannot take on any
new industrial customers who have
demand for over 500 kilowatts. For
all the huge hydro-electric develop
ment at Bonneville and Grand Coulee,
because of the rapid industrial growth
of the region, power demand con-
tinues to exceed supply. In this con-
nection, it was pointed out that while
Montana Power Co., claims it has
plenty of power for this area, the
company has already contracted to
take upwards of half of Hungry
Horses output, and is unhappy over
not being able to secure the entire
100000 XIV of firm power the prof.
ect in western Montana will develop.
COORDINATION LACKING
Citing the need for co-ordinated
development, via examples, Davidson
pointed to what is going on in three
adjoining counties in Washington, due
to the fact that different agencies
by statutory requirements must seek
approval for projects and appropria-
tons from different congressional
committees. In those counties, Bur-
eau of Reclamation (Interior depart
ment) is spending $500 per acre to
bring new land under cultivation. But
more nigardly congressional commit
tees permit Soil Conservation Service

ton, permit the Montana Power to get away with
this, the following can be expected:
The drive for public transmission lines and rea-
sonably priced power will have been dealt a
mighty setback, not only in Montana, but all over
the nation.
. Should Montana Power be successful in thwarting
the peoples wishes, the recent $4,000 annual
reduction in REA wholesale rates to REA co-ops
will most certainly be abandoned as rapidly as it
adopted.
Q Montana Power will have, for all ntents and pur
poses, achieved major victory in its drive to gain
distribution control of all power production from
such tax-built dams as Hungry Horse and Canyon
Ferry.
What is to be done to save the public power
program? Simply this, according to Senator
Murray:
REAs, REA members and all others favoring pub
lie power: Immediately wire Sen. Hayden, Sen
ate Appropriations Committee chairman, insist

WATER RIGHTS UNDER eva

Contrary to nonsense put out by
the power trust, the proposed eva
bill in no way weakens existing
water rights. At hearing on the
bill at Boise about two years ago
and at the request of stockmen
in that area, the Bureau of Rec
lamation regulations governing
such rights, were Incorporated into
the measure. Ranchers, generally,
consider Reclamation regulations
as affording adequate protection
to water right holders.

HAVRE UNIONS THROW
Their Weight BEHIND
HAVRE-SHELBY LINES

Havre AFL unions, realizing the
grave danger there is that Mon
tana Power Company will be sue
cessful in blocking further APP
propriations for Havre Shelby
transmission lines, have gone on
record urging congress to vote the
additional funds necessary to
complete this project.
Union groups taking action in
support of this public power prof.
ect, include: Havre Trades & Lab
or Council, Electrical Workers,
Plumbers, Cooks & Walters, Team
sters, Switchmen, and General
Laborers.

It is not disputed, my friends,
that some of our representatives
desire to see our island happy and

some Of them are trying to cor

strict attention to legislation sub

that alone does not constitute
