Is, and on behalf OF my own union
the Butte Clerks Union-as well
as on behalf of all OF the unions
associated with the Montana Labor
News. | want TO extend the heart
lest congratulations to the Butte
Miners Union OF course these
birthday greetings are a little bit
in advance. but when a union reaches
It's 72nd birthday, | think conerat-
ulations are in order at any time.
Recently | was going through some
OF the old lilies down al the La

a manuscript OF a very interesting
document Although my OWN
work was piline up around my ears.
couldn't resist taking the time

title and had read the first few
paragraphs the manuscript was
a condensed history OF labor unions
in our city OF Butte written
Several years ago by IL good friend
Clarence Bleweit. former editor OF
the Montana Labor News. whom
most OF us remember as one OF the
grandest old fellows III labor jour
nalism until his u%ntime'y death i
few short years ago.

too. it was impossible to miss tho
realization ,hat-dcSpite all OF IL
ups and downs, all OF its turbulent
and often confusing. difiiculties-thi,

could name. for the long slow upward
climb OF the living standards and
welfare OF the whole town Whcr
the miners fought for, and won. 4

improved. the morale and the Sc
curity of everyone else improved

unions had bitter struggles, made
significant gains. and contributed
greatly to the welfare OF the whole

The Butte Inter Mountain on
June l., 1901. carried a short story
about the man who was the first

Visitors in Florida
Will IIFind All Kinds
OF Entertainment
By Jacques FutreIIe, Jr.

Inc SforS travel Editor
Talking about Florida is like
discussing the mutual friend OF
millions Of people. Almost every
Fastener who likes winter vaca-
tions knows this famous host. A
sunny character Is he in all sea-
sons, with great native ability to
keep his friends entertained. His
fame in this regard goes even be-
yond his wide circle of acquain-
tances.
And when these friends of Flor
ida talk. the breeze is thick with
compliments and enthusiasm.
They admire the way he saunters
with smiling ease through the
worlds greatest concentration of
new. multi-million-dollar luxury
hotels. Worldly? That he is.
He knows the best after-dark
spots and can take the glitter of
gayest night clubs without blink
ing. He's real playboy and
moves in circles that are high and
fast-gambling a bit. investing his
money in fun. following the horses
and landing a sailflsh.
He plays hard for his recrea-
ton. But he knows how to relax
and when to stretch out in the
sand against a bright cabana
backdrop and let business news
and the fast pace wait for an
other day.
That is the Florida that a lot
Of vacationers know - flashy,
sophisticated and open-handed.
But Florida has q cosmopolitan
list of friends. They come from
all walks of life and four-score
range of ages. They know an
other side of his holiday nature.
Get him away from the tinsel and
the social fuss, and he is as hui
man as a barefoot boy meander-
ing down a dusty road.
A clue to the diversity OF inter-
est of Florida's winter visitors is
found in the types Of entertain
ment provided for them. It is
more like a simple cross-section
Of American life than 1t is forced

modernistic veneer are real folks.

Stocks Achieve Gains
As High as 81 a Share
On Flooding Market
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The stock
market plodded ahead today for
gains running to around 81 a
share.
The advance was labored, but
there was no question of the
markets direction. Numerous
stocks that started out unchanged
or slightly lower eventually drift
ed into the plus column.
Trading volume was not much
better than routine, although there
was a mild tendency for turnover
to expand as prices edged ahead.
Steel and Motor Issues Watched
The rise was a resumption of
the rally that started yesterday
morning. but faded out during the
afternoon. Earlier in the week
prices were pounded down in the
wake of ominous news regarding
Korea.
Traders gave better than aver
age attention to steel and motor
issues. Selected rails, oils, chem
icals and television stocks also did
well.
Word that President Truman
would ask Congress for another
$18 billion or SO to speed up the
rearmament program had no i'm
mediate effect.
Higher prices were paid for
United States Steel, Bethlehem
Steel, General Motors, Chrysler,
American Cyanamid, Air Reduc-
ton, Allied Chemical, Du Pont,

investment Bankers
Hear U. 5. Policy on
Railroads Criticized
BY the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. Dec. l.
The railroads Of the Nation may
set a peacetime profit record this
year but their earnings prospects
for the near future are less bright,
the Investment Bankers Associa-
tion reported in convention yester-
day.
The associations Committee on
Railroad Securities reported that
the railways can expect "a high
level of traffic volume for the next
several years" as a result of the
defense program.
However, the committee said,
this is overshadowed by unfavor-
able factors stemming from the
Governments transportation pol
icy, which it said was unsound and
greatly in need of revision"
Railroad earnings for 1850 may
reach $3.50 million as compared
with the previous record of $698
million for 1948, the report said.
although it noted that the 1850
estimate includes $3.50 million of
retroactive mail pay.
The bankers also heard dis
cussion of the .fast-growing invest
ment trust business, through
which the public may invest in
one company which in turn invests
in many.
The principal speaker Of panel
on this subject was Mayo Adams
Shattuck, Boston attorney and
authority on investment trusts. He
predicted that professional in
vestors in the future will "strive
less for the maintenance of book
values and be more concerned
with real values" and will be
more imaginative and alert" than
their predecessors.
