NO PROGRESS MADE I'M kAINE~RAILL
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH AcHA

Although intensive bargaining be-
tween five Montana locals of Mine
Mill & Smeltermen and the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co., have been going
on for over a month, no settlement
is in sight, according to Mine-Mill
board member William Mason, Butte.
Referring to the difficulty the I'M
ion is having in reaching new agree
ment with the concern that upped its
profits more than 70 per cent in 1850
over 1949, Mason said:
"The story is the same everywhere.
The company wants a cheap settle
ment and the unions are insisting on
wage increases, pensions and other
benefits large enough to meet the in
creased cost of living and to give the
workers a fair share Of the huge prof
its the company is now enjoying"
The ACM and other non-ferrous
metal mining companies have been
quick to point out in negotiations
this year that the Is cents per hour
in wage increases which Mine-Mill
has won for its members in Montana
since January Is, 1850 exceeds the
10 per cent allowed under the Wage
Boards wage freeze
formula. Mine-Mill refuses to be
bound by any wage freeze when pric-
es and profits are still going up. The

National Popular Government League
May %, 1851 Bulletin

As this is written the great debate
over Gen. MacArthur's ideas of how
to win a global war is in progress
and all eyes are centered upon the
spectacle and all ears are listening.
Meanwhile on the domestic
front the new soldiers of the Pow
err Trust are conducting an assault
upon the admins tration of Federal
power agencies. The purpose of
the assault is not only to increase
private utilities profits in war
time but to destroy that crucial
provision of national policy-pub-
lie marketing of public power. They
have succeeded in the House of
Representatives and there are mil
lions in it for them if the Senate
approves what the House has done.
On the world front what are the
peoples of the free world-especially
the impoverished millions in Europe,
Asia, and elsewhere-to think of our
advocacy of political democracy
abroad while in this and other fields
we yield to the demands of economic
monopoly in undermining social de-
mocracy at home?
The fight opened jvst as Gen. Mac
Arthur was beginning his testimony
before the joint Senate committees
which emblazoned the front pages of
all newspapers. At that time the
House was considering the Interior
appropriation bill for 1852 and
from the floor came amendments
slashing the daylights out of allow
ances made by the Bureau of the
Budget and the Appropriation COM
mittee to implement the power pro-
gram of the Reclamation Service.
If on May you had glanced at an
an inside page of the New York Her
aid Tribune you might have noticed
a brief Washington dispatch, here
quoted in part, describing the de-
bacle.
"The major cuts in the bill were
made in the budget recommended
tions for public power projects
