presided at the meeting.
PROPOSALS ON COMPENSATION
1. Lift 5OO-weelk limitation on COM
pensation paid to totally disabled
industrial workers and their depend
ents. Delegates pointed out that quite
often the approximately 919 years
of compensation does not cover the
remaining life span of men totally
disabled. In such cases, after the
500 weeks have passed, such men
then become burden on the Pub
lie Welfare Department and the state
general fund. Similarly, cases are
frequent when compensation pay
nents are exhausted before dependent
children reach the maximum age of
10. The union wants the legislature
to remove any limitations on length
of time that compensation may be
paid.
2. Remove maximum payment pro-
visions of workmen's compensation
law. Delegates voted to work for re-
peal of statutory limitations, and to
have compensation paid entirely on a
percentage basis. At present the
law calls for compensation payments
Of 500 for single men, on up to sc
and two-thirds per cent for married
men,, but not to exceed $40 to $26.
AS pointed out, when the law was
passed, the compensation maximums
of SIS to $21 were generally con-
sidered fair, since weekly wages were
around $50. Now, the statutory maxi
NUNS are entirely away from re-
atty and most unjust with six-day
ranging from $50 to 500
and the cost of living several times
higher than it was 35 years ago when
the law was put on the books.
3. Silicosis: Place the burden of
paying this compensation squarely |
where it belongs-on the industry, is
the request of the conference to the |
1851 Legislature. Delegates pointed |
out that not only do silicotics re-
,eive only pittance $3.50 per month"; |
from the general fund, but that Mon
ANA taxpayers generally are not re-
,eiving fair treatment by being taxed
% care for those no longer able to
work because of unfit working condi-
ions in the mining and smelling in
lustry Silicosis victims, being as
ruly industrially disabled as other
disabled workers, should receive SINH
al benefits, paid for directly by the
Industries involved.
4. Cost of disqualification: Present
tatutes permit a maximum of ST.
90 disqualification costs to which an
disabled worker is en-
tiled under Plans and 3. Such
osts must accrue within a period
f nine months following injury.
he union wants both of these re-
drastically revised. Ex-
mples were brought out in floor dis ,
usslon to illustrate how inequitable J
1ese provisions are. One instance :
Deer Lodge for example: The y
orkman in question over two years c
go was badly injured when pinned +
aneath slab in mine His hos :
tal costs to date have exceeded ST. v
DO, and doctors state he will be in !,
I'D out of the hospital for the re-
ainder Of his life. In such instances :

Washington, Dec. 10 - Senator
James E. Murray and Rep. Mike
Mansfield of Montana discussed with
Secretary of the Interior Chapman
yesterday the problem of disposing
of excess elk in Yellowstone national
park.
National park service officials say
that there is an excess of between
5000 and 3,400 elk in what is known
as the north Yellowstone herd, and
reduction of the herd is necessary to
permit recovery of over-grazed
range.
Sportsmen of Montana have been
urging increased transplanting of
elk to other areas in the state and
have protested any large scale kill
ing of elk within the national park
boundaries.
Secretary Chapman assured Muir
ray and Mansfield the transplanting
program had been stepped up and
that four elk traps would be avail
able for the transplanting to take
place in January, an increase of three
traps over last years operation. He
said it was planned to ship 1000 live
elk, of which between 700 and 800
would be taken by the State of Mon
tana for its own ranges and about
$50 animals would be released on
private lands.
In addition to the transplanting of
L. 1a, H.
trucked from the park into an open
hunting area northeast of Gardiner
The park service also has committed
shipment of meat from 400 to 500
elk to the Indian service for distri-
button among the Indians of Mon
tana.
Both Senator Murray and Rep
Mansfield urged Secretary Chap
man to take advantage of the many
offers of assistance and co-opera-
ton which the park service has re-
ceived from the sportsmen's asso-
Citations of Montana in carrying
out the transplanting and shipment !
of live elk from the herd to under
stocked areas elsewhere in the
state. The secretary assured the
Montana delegation that this pro-
gram would be carried out to the
fullest possible extent.-GREAT

Elimination of Plan 2 (the pri-
vate insurance plan) whereby in
dustries can insure their workers
through private insurance companies.
Invariably, the disabled worker is
victimized by the private insurance
outfits, whereas under Plan 3, the av-
erage compensation payment amounts
to IS per cent.
Passage of a second injury law,
thus making it easier for partially
disabled workers to secure employ
ment.
Placing teeth in existing laws to
force compliance with recommended
ions of workmen's compensation COM
mission and industrial hygiene di-
vision, for eliminating unsafe work
ing conditions.
Another recommendation adopt
ed at the meeting was that Mine
Mill actively support the Cover
nor's Interim Mental Health Com
mittee program for improving the
presently inadequate facilities at
the State Hospital at Warm
Springs and the Training School
at Boulder.
TAX PROGRAM
In addition to its program on COM
pensation, safety, ETC., the conference
also pledged its support to the tax
recommendations of the Joint Tax
Study Committee. The committee,
which is composed of representatives
of the AFL, MFU and Montana Fed
Grafton of Teachers, is recommend
ing the following to the 1851 Legis-
lature:
/. Increase personal income tax
percentage schedules, above exemp-
tons, from the present one to four
per cent, to one to eight per cent and
tighten up evasion loopholes.
2. Increase corporation license tax
from three to five per cent.
3. A resolution that board of equal
cation reimpose the 2 u mill state
vide levy, which it can do under ex-
sting law.
4. Passage of law requiring uni
'orm valuation and assessment of
Ill property in the state.
At the same time, the conference
lso went on record against legislative
approval of any form of SALES TAX.
Should the legislature approve this
ak program, it is believed that up
Yards of six million dollars addition
il revenue per year would be avail
bile to the state and that this would
