CHANGES IN CHILD
LABOR REGULATIONS

The child labor provisions of the

wage and hour law were strength
ened and several big loopholes were
plugged by amendments to the act
recently passed by congress, it was
pointed out by representatives of
the wage and hour and public con-
tracts divisions, U. S. department
of labor, during a special broad
cast by station KGHL.
John M. Ekeberg and Anthony j.
Craig, who represent the divisions
in Montana, said the amendments
directly prohibit the employment
of oppressive child labor in indus
tries engaged in interstate COM
merce. Previously, they pointed
out, the ban applied only to firms
shipping goods in interstate COM
merce.
"The amendment closes a big
loophole," Ekeberg said, under
which firms could escape liabilities
by Withholding goods from ship
ment in interstate commerce for 80
days after they had stopped using
oppressive child labor.
another important change con-
Germs employment of children to
work in agriculture. The original
act said children under 16 years
old could be employed when not
required to attend school.
The amendment says they can be

WARN CATTLE OWNERS.
OF DREADED DISEASE.

Helena, March 15.-Veterinary
authorities today warned cattle
owners to be on the lookout for
leptospirosis, a dangerous cattle
disease which first appeared in
this country six years ago and
appears to be spreading.
Symptoms of the disease vary
SO widely that cows may be strick-
en- without the owners knowing
it." an American Foundation for
Animal Health bulletin reports, but
sudden illness, loss of appetite,
fever, depression and thick milk
are all suspicious signs.
Owners may think some light
cases are only Indigestion, particu-
larly since the cow may recover
without serious illness. In other
cases, however, the disease strikes
hard, killing many animals.
Recovered animals may act as
disease carriers for a considerable
length of time, so ever light cases
may be dangerous.
"The only sure way of determin-
ing if leptospirosis is present is
through blood tests and isolation
of the disease-carrying organism.
If cattle owners suspect an out
break of the disease, they should
a veterinary diagnosis i'm
mediately, since the sooner blood
transfusions and medical treatment
are started, the better the chance
of saving the affected animals and
preventing the disease from
spreading"

HEARS
PRISON HEAD

S~eventy-five per cent of the in
mates of the state penitentiary at
Deer Lodge started as delinquent
children, Lou Boudecker, warden,
said Tuesday in an address to the
Laurel Rotary club.
Boudecker, who also spoke at the
Laurel high school Tuesday, told
the Rotarians that parents should
accept their responsibility to pro-
vide their children with a good
home, religion and education.
He said an adult is delinquent if
too busy to listen to or counsel
with his child. Parents should join
in the activities of their children,
in going to shows with them, and
especially in athletic events, the
state prison warden said.
Advocating a prison farm for
first offenders to prevent them
from having contact with seasoned
criminals, Boudecker said, "Only
10 per cent return to prison if kept
outside and busy"
The prison at Deer Lodge has
not advanced in 80 years, the
speaker declared. In contrast, he
said, Statesville in Illinois teaches
10 trades.
Peak reached at Deer Lodge in
number of prisoners in 1949 was
588, of whom eight were women,
the warden said.
Offenses of the present prison
population, according to Boudeck-
err, are as follows: Bad checks,
first offense 81, second offense
ia; burglary, first offense 60, sec
ond offense SO; grand larceny, first
offense 46, second offense 60; sex
crimes, first offense 20, second
offense 80; assault, first offense
II, second offense 20; murder, first
offense q, second offense 9; rob-
berry, first offense 10, second Of
Tense 10; manslaughter, first of

and prices have to go higher and
higher, and we come to that
wonderful day when the mini

new tone of justice and fair deal
ing which did not heretofore exist.
The best answer to labor Off
cials is to state in simple terms
what the law does.
Basically, the law undertakes to
provide equality between labor and
management Cd by preventing un-
fair labor practices by labor unions
while retaining the same prohibi-
tions against unfair labor practices
by management which were set up
by the Wagner Act, and (2) by
subjecting labor unions to the same
obligation to perform their con-
tracts and be otherwise liable for
their acts, to which individuals and
corporations are subject. The re-
suit is to make the National Labor
Relations Board representing the
government body intended to be
judicial instead of an agency of
the labor unions.
THE Taft-Hartley Law outlaws
the closed shop, closed union
which made individual workers
and young persons seeking en-
ployment completely subservient
to the whims and caprices of
union leaders in order to be able
to pursue their right to earn a
living.
1t guarantees the right of free
speech to both employers and
unions.
It requires both unions and en-
ployers to bargain collectively in
good faith and give reasonable no
tice to the other of desire to
change the terms of contract.
1t creates union responsibility
upon contracts by opening the fed
eral courts to suit by either en-
ployers or unions for breach of
contract.
1t permits the President to
obtain an S0-day injunction to
stop a strike If he and a federal
court find that such strike i'm

VELL-BEING OF OUR CoUN-

WELL-BEING OF OUR COUN-
TRY"
There is the ultimate audacity
Another public official explained
it to the writer as "an invest
ment of our children's money"
We are anticipating their money
in riotous government spending
now, as their future investment
in our country Later on, our
descendants will have to work
for the money our government
spends now. Well, there is more
than one way of going crazy,
and this one at least keeps some
of the voters in the same state
of mind.
One is remindful of the an
cient butcher who received a
beautiful piece of gold every day
when a mysterious customer
bought a piece of meat. He slip
ped the gold money into a sep
arate little compartment all by
itself. Some weeks after he had
begun to accumulate the beauti-
full money, the butcher opened
the little compartment and
found nothing but dried leaves.
When the mysterious customer
gave him the leaves he hypno-
tized the butcher into believing
he was getting beautiful gold
money, and he saw how badly
he had been fooled only when
he was out from under the in
fluence of the magician who
hypnotized him.
So it is possible that many
people today think of the mount
ing government debt as an in
vestment,, and get the idea that
the way to become rich is to go
into debt beyond their ability to
pay. They may actually believe
the little pied piper when he
tells them that the way to have
more is to spend more than you
have and turn the deficit into
paper money.
In the face of such sublime
and simple effrontery one can
only bow his head and pray 81
lently that merciful Providence
help us soon to wake up and
come to our senses.
