ruled "A union does not violate the
Taft-Hartley Act merely by placing
ON an unfair list the name of an en-
ployer with whom it has a direct dis
pute." This was in the Grammar case
in Denver where the Denver AFL
Bldg. and Construction Trades coun-
Gil and two of its affiliates were in
volved. Thus the NLRB agrees with
past decisions of the Supreme court
of Montana in its rulings in Billings
and Butte cases that labor unions
may picket and also issue 'we do not
patronize as unfair" lists on any
firm
Sure we know that all officials in
Montana as far as the state is con-
cerned are Liberals The votes of
Union Labor and Farmer Unionists

The reason why the State of Wash
ington will rank first, second or third
in increased population is because it
is developing its natural resources,
the greatest in the nation, by the
building of dams for power and rec
lamatiOn. These projects financed by
the government and repaid from the
profits, which had previously gone to
private power copmanies. Washing
ton has received twice as much money
as 26 other states, and one third of
all the money appropriated by con-
gress for power and reclamation de- |
velopment. Cost Of proposed projects
in Washington total over five billions |
OF dollars. Senator Murray is working !
