Mr.. F. w. Bird, President
Montana Power Company
Butte. Montana

Butte, Montana II
Dear Mr.. Bird: l have read with
much interest your general letter to
customers of the Montana Power Co.,
in connection with the article La
boris Case Against Public Owner
ship" which appeared in the Readers
Digest of November 1850, under the
authorship of Mr.. Joseph A. Fisher,
national president of the Utility
Workers Union of America (CIO).
Undoubtedly, you and the Mon
tana Power Co. have endorsed and
approved the article in its entirety.
In the main | approve what Mr.. Fish
er stated. | am opposed to every
ism" in American life and business
mentioned by Mr.. Fisher. But it is
my desire to be consistent in such
opposition. In the first paragraph
of the Fisher writeup, he has stated
as follows:
Permanent control of industry
seems far away. By this he means
control by the federal government.
In the same paragraph he has
stated: Government control is no
longer just around the corner. 1t
IS with us, an actual fact in large
number of plants in which we work,
and it is marching on with alarming
speed to capture and control all of
them" &
The. above quoted statements are
not consistent. l am wondering if
Mr. Fisher really prepared this arti-
.cle. Now, | believe your company is
very fair and just in dealing with !
your customers. But sometimes
have been chagrined at other state
ments made publicly by your en-
ployes and other persons as to the in
vasion Of the federal government in
private enterprise, and upon the |
rights of corporations such as the |
Montana Power Co. in our Montana.
Your attacks on the federal gov
eminent in respect to it's socalled
unwarranted establishment of
power projects are not fair. /
know of no invasion of your
rights, or the socalled rights of the
State of Montana, in this respect.
So far your company has had to
submit, fand acknowledge the pro-
cedure of Congress with reference |
to power projects in our state, under
The management Of the Federal Pow {
er Commission. In fact every privi- S
ege forryour power projects in Mon {
ana has been obtained a rule und-
r some act of Congress. Your attor-
eys have tried to restrain the regu-
atoms of the FPC, relative to your t
many projects on the Missouri river G
nd otherwise, but they have failed z
efore the government agencies in I
rosecuting your claims.
All your privileges in, the matter
of distributing electric energy to

5. S. Payments

This article is the fourth in a
series prepared by the Social Sc
curity Administration.
1t pays a wife to know all about
the Social Security law, because
she is one of the most important
beneficiaries under this program.
Too often, wives look upon Social
Security as something that applies
only to the retired worker. Let us
examine the protection wife de-
rives from this insurance program.
If she is married to a retired
worker whose past employment
was covered by social security, she
is eligible for monthly benefits
when she reaches age IS. The law
does not require her to have a So
cial security number, or a record
of employment under social Sc
curity to claim these benefits as
a wife. The mere fact that she is
married to an insured, retired
worker qualities her for a monthly
payment which is equal to one
half of her husbands monthly
check. For example, if he is re-
ceiving $4,000 a month in retire
ment benefits, her payment will
be $4,000 each month.
The wife with minor children
has even greater insurance pro-
lection under this program. In the
event of the untimely death of her
husband, the widow, regardless of
her age, will receive monthly pay
ments for herself and all children
under the age of 18.
These payments are received
every month until the youngest
child becomes 18. The payments
she and the child are receiving
must then be stopped. The widow
may again receive benefits start
ing with the month in which she
becomes 65, providing she has not
remarked.
Under this new Social Security
law more protection has been ad-
ded for the wives under 65. If the
husband retires, and they have
children under age IS, the wife
can receive monthly checks, even
though she is not yet age 65. For
example, if the wife is age 62 when
her husband retires, and they have
one child age 16, the wife will re-
ceive payments for two years at
which time the child becomes IS.
The payments to her must then
be stopped, however, she qualities
for payments again within a year
when she becomes 65.
The divorced wife now is also
protected under this new law. If
her former husband dies, leaving
her with his minor children, she is
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1951-01-11

eligible for monthly payments for
herself if she was receiving at
least one-half of her support from
him at the time of his death. AS
in the past, payments are still
made to the minor children. The
payments to the former wife
divorced is a new type of benefit
under the Social Security law. The
payments to a divorced wife are
payable until the youngest child
attains age Is. She is not entitled
to receive benefits on her divorced
husbands account when she reach
es age 65.
1t is important that all wives
remember that payments from So
cial Security are not automatic.
You must apply for them. You
will always find your local Social
Security office ready to assist you.

ing to word received from the S3rd

Stroining at q Gnot

If it is true that the railroad dispute has
dwindled down to two issues-one concerning the
future role of John R. Steelman and the other
involving an apparently minor procedural ques-
ton in negotiations-ther should be no real
difficulty in coming to final settlement
In The Stars opinion, the objections which
have been raised against Mr. Steelman a presi-
Dental aide by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen are phony and have been presented in
false light.
Mr. Steelnan did good job in bringing the
parties to agreement-an agreement later re-
pudiated by the unions-and he probably is we'll
equipped to serve as arbitrator of differences
which might arise in finally reducing contract
to writing There is no truth to the union sug-
gestion that Mr.. Steelman has tried to grab for
himself three-year job as arbitrator of any dis
putes which might arise.
Granting all of this, however, if the trainmen,
for reasons of saving face or for some other
reason, are adamant in their opposition to Mr..
Steelrnan, that hurdle can be easily cleared Mr..
Steelman could announce publicly that he will
not serve in the disputed capacity, and the car
riers and the unions then would have to agree
on some other arbiter With that DONE the dis
agreement on the procedural issue should be easy
to adjust, and then, unless the objection to
Mr.. Steelman has been put forward in bad faith
to cover up some other union demand, this long,
vexatious dispute could be quickly settled.

1t is all different with the grsckle.
That shiny one. with his mean yellow
eyes, works more silently, so that it is
only the early human riser who will
see him.
During nesting time keep an ear open
for unusual bird noise after dawn.
If there are cardinal nests in the
yard. in hedges or shrubs, keep an eye
on them particularly, because their oc-
cupants will be the targets.
One must act quickly, for the i'll deeds
are done quickly.
Often it will not be possible to save
the cardinal young.
Thereafter one will have no hesitancy
about chasing grackles away from the
home yard at all times. They are not
cept when they arrive in the autumn
in large numbers, when their squeaking
chorus is something to hear.
1t seems that when in hockS they
are more concerned with each other
and with listening to the odd sounds
they all make together. In the fall
other birds are safe from them. as all
the young have grown up. They can
do no more than annoy other birds from
time to time, during these congrega-
tional meetings. Yet even in the autumn
they manage to annoy and poster chick
ems. Some country people regard them
as a greater nuisance at that time OF
the year than at any other.
