AS WAS EXPECTED, GAS CONSUMERS GET The
works" FROM PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

Gas consumers throughout east
ern Montana, come next Monday are
going to be compelled to pay 10 to
Ia cents more per thousand cubic
feet of natural gas, the Railroad and
public" Service Commission ruled
Tuesday.
The ruling, reaffirming an APP
prevail it gave to Montana-Dakota
Utilities rate increase request on
August a, 1949, came, despite an
abundance of evidence indicating that
such a rate schedule was excessive
by to 9 cents per Mcf. Even Mon
tana Dakota officials, before the
Federal Power Commission last fall,
admitted that an increase of sc per
Mcf would be sufficient during the
next five years, and, after that sc
higher than present schedules would
be sufficient to amortize the con-
struction cost of the Wyoming-Mo on
tana pipeline being built by MDU.
We quote once again most peril
nent part of the findings of the FPC. |
"The evidence, therefore, shows
that, based upon estimates sub
mitted by Montana-Dako the ev-
erage increase in cost of gas re-
CURED to meet consumer demands

cost of gas, will not exceed cents

SAFETY COUNCIL MAKES SEVERAL
GOOD RECOMMENDATION

Several very good recommends
tions came out of the two-day Mon
tana Safety Council meeting last
week end in Helena. These recon-
mendations, should they be enacted
into law by the legislature, will con-
stitute several long strides forward
toward greater industrial safety and
drastic reduction in occupational
disease hazards in various Montana
industries.
These recommendations include:
1. Establishment of accident-pre-
vention codes for all lines of work
2. Transferring the Industrial Hy-
giene Division from the Board of
Health to jurisdiction of the Work
m n S Compensation Commission.
This would give WCC power to make
hygiene inspections, and to enforce
its recommendations for improving
sanitation in an industrial plant.
3. Statewide survey of health con-
ditions in all industries and the set
ting up of a full-time safety council
staff.
4. Backing for a Second injury"
law, long plugged for by WCC Chair
man Walter Coombs. Such a law
would help handicapped people get
Jobs. Under the proposed law, for a
second injury, the state would pay
disabled workers the difference be-
,ween total disability pay and the ac-

tual amount of compensation due for
that second injury.
5. Placing farm operations under
Workmen's Compensation. During
recent years the increasing trend
toward mechanization of farming has
resulted in a considerable increase in
farm accidents.
Further Steps Needed
Although all five recommendation
listed above are timely, and should be
drafted into law by the legislature,
one other major legislative step is
necessary. The next legislature should
also enact an OCCUPATIONAL DIS
EASE LAW. Necessary as an occu-
pational disease study is, such a study
would be carried on between legisla
latures, and it would find at least
two additional years elapsing before
another legislature 1853 could act
on its recommendations
While complete indexing of oc-
cupational diseases may not at this
time be available, there are several
such diseases that no one will deny
are the direct result of occupations.
The most common of these is Silico-
sis-70% of whose victims are found
in our major mining county, Silver
Bow. Then, there are others, such as
lead and tamarack poison
ing, dermatitis, etc.
At the present time victims of
Silicosis receive $50 per month pit
lance from the Public Welfare De-
partment. Victims of the other dis
eases above noted, receive nothing,
unless an abundant amount of evil
dence is available to show that such
diseases were contracted over a very
short period of employment in a par
ocular industry-then, they may be
eligible for compensation under
Voc. All such definitely known oc-
diseases should be made
under WCC without fur
her delay. This injustice to the vic
ims-and to the gneral taX-paying
'ublic, should be remedied by the next
legislature.

SEEKS CONTRACT
with PRINTERS

After many months of controversy
between the Helena printing trades
unions, and the Montana Physicians
Service, blue Shield-Blue Cross
concerning jurisdiction over the MPS
printing plant, the way has apparently
been cleared for contract negotia-
tons, Stanley E. Thurston, secretary
OF the Montana Typographical Con-
ference, announced Wednesday,
According to Thurston, officials of
MPS contacted him Tuesday and
made known that they want to sign
contracts with the Helena Printing
craft unions.
Request Local Unions Postpone
Action on MSFL Resolution
In view of this new turn of events,
the executive committee of Helena
Typographical Union No. 95 and the
Helena Allied Printing Trades Coun-
Gil, urgently request all members of
organized labor in Montana to post
pone action on the resolution passed
by the Montana Federation of Labor
convention on August IS, pending
negotiations in the immediate future.
This resolution, presented by the Hell
ena unions, gave MPS go days in
which to settle its differences with
the printing trades unions. Should
the dispute still be hanging fire at
the end of that period October 18)
then, under terms of the resolution,
an instruction was given to the MSFI, |
executive board to go all out in ask
ing central councils and local unions
to urge their memberships to cancel /

ance policies.

Communities under the 14-cent
hike are Fairview, Glendive, Richey
Savage, Sidney, Frazer, Nashua, Pop

and Malta. The Accent difference
the board explained, is due to the diff
ference in quality of gas Gas from
the Wyoming field is of higher quail
ity with greater heat content, there
fort tn volume of use will be less.
Towns under the 10-cent increase
are Carlyle, Wibaux, Forsyth, Ismay,
Miles City and Terry. Rates at For
syth will become effective pursuant
to prior approval.
The board approved the order by
a 20 vote with Chairman Austin
Middleton and Paul Smith the only
members present.
Court Actions Coming
However, the commissions action
of Tuesday last, is not the finale.
Two groups of consumers, the North
west Montana Gas and Electric Con-
sumers Association of Glasgow, and
the Eastern Montana Consumers As
ISOLATION at Miles City, already have
cases pending in district courts. Han
ley & Multi, Helena attorneys, and
Gordon T. White, Glasgow, are ask
ing the court to determine whether
Or not the increases so graciously |
granted by tn commission, are ex-
cessive. If the court finds them to
DC, then, despite the commissions de-
;ision, an order will be made to the
Utility to reduce its rates to an equit-
able level. A similar action has been
placed before the district court in
Niles City by the eastern consumers
,roup.

Charles II. Ballard, director
of Region 2-B, UAW-CIO, re-
