UNION SOURCES
SAY 1T is AN
IMPORTANT BREAK

PITTSBURGH LIP - The CIO
United SteeIworkers Union has
signed an interim agreement which
provides 1212-cent hourly hike
for 1880 employees of Pittsburgh
Steel Goa basic producer.
The agreement was personally
negotiated Friday by Philip Muir
ray, president of the Steelworkers.
1t provides a modified union shop
and otherwise substantially follows
recommendations made weeks ago
by the Wage Sterilization Board
III an effort to avoid strike which
now is in the 26th day.
Murray, himself. didn't comment
after giving the green light to
Pittsburgh Steel to Immediately
start plans for resumption of pro-
/ duction. However, one of his as
SOciateS-who asked not to be
identified-said the agreement lis
an important brea.. in the solid
front put up by the basic steel
industry
John A. Stephens, vice president
of U. S. Steel who has been a chief
industry negotiator during the past
saw months. said he had no com
ment on the agreement.
Although no negotiations are
planned with U. S. Steel or other
companies making up the indus
try'S Big Six" one Of Murray'S
associates said ne expected "mora
companies to fall in line SOON" He
said approximately $4,000 of the
$50, 900 men who struck June 2
have now been covered in interim
Agreements which have been
signed since the strike began. Most
of these are in smaller companies.
The WSB recommended a union
shop whereby all steelworkers
must belong to Murray's union.
Pittsburgh Steels contract calls
for a modified shop. A new en-
ploye must join the union but can
withdraw between his goth and 3Oth
day of work.
The WSB recommended settle
ment called for a 1212-cent hourly
pay increase. retroactive to last
Jan. l when the contract expired,
another ga cents an hour July
and the same amount next Jan. /.
The recommendation, including
fringe benefits, would amount to
26-cent an hour package.
The big steel companies have
maintained the major stumbling
block toward ending the strike is
Murray'S insistence on a union
shop. Murray not only says this
isn't so but declares other issues
are involved.
Meanwhile, the total of unem-
plOyment resulting from the strike
continued to mount. In addition to
he estimated 602, 900 steelworkers
remaining idle, another 208, O4S
workers in allied industries either

SAYS VOLT FARMERS UNION
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TRUCKS SHOULD PAY
UPKEEP OF ROADS

Vehicles which "break up the
roads should pay for Them" is the
opinion of members of Volt Farm
ers Union in Roosevelt county,
reports Gloria Lund, secretary of
the local.
The Volt Flu folks at their meet
ing last week, taking note of the
defeat of the 1-cent gas tax at the
November 4 election, pointed out
that the need continues for addi-
tional funds to match federal high
way appropriations.
In this connection, the local re-
commended that the 1858 legisla-
ture consider mileage tax on
heavy trucks and trailers. They
further suggested that legislators
secure a copy of the October II
issue of the Peoples Voice con-
tanning the article Montana High
ways, Who Should Pay For
Them pan article composed in
the main of excerpts from one by
Oregon State Senator Richard Neu-
berger, in Harper's Magazine.
Richard Neuberger," the Volt
Farmers Union points out, tells
how the highway money problem
of Oregon has been solved" by a
ton-mileage truck tax schedule
Noting the disparity between
what trucks and trailers are taxed
in Montana, as compared with Ore
gon, the local points out that "In
Oregon, under weight-distance
law, Bottom truck and trailer COM
bination pays $2,445 in license
fees and taxes; in Montana the
same thing pays $245. In Calf
ornia, under a ton-mileage law, a
22-ton tractor and semi trailer
combination pays $2,O55, and in
Montana the same thing pays
$3.50"

Three Montana companies and one

in the Third Quarter lobbying re-
port of the National Tax Equality
Association.
The NTEA is the notorious en-

fight to saddle co-operatives with
punitive taxes.
The Montana Elevator Co. and

among top contributors to the anti
coop lobbying outfit, as well as the
Wilcox Lumber Co. of Detroit Lakes,

A total of $4,000 was contributed
by the II companies in the $500 or
more class, according to the NTEA
report.
Total receipts for the Third Quar-

SUGAR Beet WAGE
HEARING TO BE Held In
BILLINGS, DEC. 5

A public hearing on wage rates
and prices for the 1853 crop of sugar
beets has been scheduled for Billings
on December 5. The hearing will be
held at the Billings Commercial Club
beginning at 1000 a. m.
This is one of a series of five
meetings being held throughout the
major sugar beet producing areas, ex-
cept the West Coast, where hearings
have already been held, to give all
interested persons an opportunity to
express their views and present data.
Information secured will be available
for the use of the Secretary of Agri-
culture in determining fair and rea-
sonable wage rates and prices on next
years beet crop.
One of the conditions beet grow
ers must fulfill to qualify for pay
ments under the Sugar Act of 1913
is to pay wage rates not less than
those determined to be fair and rea-
sonable after public hearing and in
vestigation. The Act also provides,
as condition of payment, that pro-
cessors who are also beet producers
must pay for beets purchased from
other growers at prices not less than
those determined to be fair and rea-
sonable.
In order to obtain the best pos
sible information for the Secretary's
use in setting these wage rates and
prices, all interested persons are in
vited to take part in the hearings.

D'EWART URGED TO
PRESS FOR APPROVAL
OF YELLOWTAIL DAM

Cong. Wesley A. D'Ewart, Mon
tana's only Republican member of the
congress in the forthcoming Repub-
lican administration, has been urged
to do all possible to secure the ap-
proval and construction of Yellow
tail Dam in southeastern Montana.
The request to Rep. D'Ewart was
contained in a letter of congratula-
tions from his Democratic opponent
at the November election, Willard
Fraser of Billings.
In writing to his victorious rival,
Fraser advised: "Now that the heat
of the campaign is history, | feel
that we should all unite in working
for the development of our state.
MAY | therefore take this. OPP
portunity of urging you to exert
the single strength and power you
now possess as the sole Republican
representing Montana in the ma
tional congress, for the construc-
ton of Yellowtail Dam. The
great potential value of YellowtaiI
Dam need not be gone into at this
time, but certainly you should
have little difficulty, or hesitancy,
bringing these values to the posi-
tive attention of the incoming Re-
publican President as well as the
others, such as the Secretary of the
Interior, and Commissioner of Re-
clamation, and the respective
Chairmen of the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees.
"You are already aware that SEN
ator Murray and Senator-Elect
Mansfield are already anxious to help
do what they can to bring about the
of Yellowtail Dam. Dur
ng the campaign I secured the
pledges of such men as Paul Douglas
and Estes Kefauver toward this
project; so you should have little diff
-1culty in obtaining all the aid you
heed from the Democrats in the con-
,ress.
Needless to say" Fraser CEN

'ver | possibly can to secure Yellow

Encourage Monopoly

2. Presently the land board has
within its discretion the authority to
limit the number of leases held by
any one oil company, if such limita-
ton is in the public interest. See
Sec. 81-1702, page 265, Volume 5,
Revised Codes of Montana, 1947.
The oil lobby proposes that this
discretionary power be deleted
from the law.
The law as presently written pro-
vides some protection for the smaller
Independent operators from being
frozen out" on securing school land
leases.

Joker" Clause, Etc.

Points 3, and 5: the 1O-year pri
mary period, the "joker" clause, ans
removal of 2O-year lease limitation
should be considered together:
Under present law lessee of state
school lands:
a. Must have achieved production
of oil on the school lease by the
end. of the 10-year primary lease
period, or lease terminates. Sec
81-1706.
b. Can exploit school lease for
period not exceeding 20 years
from date of signing of lease. Sec.
81z17O6.
Here is what the Oil Lobby pro-
poses: Quote:
eff oil or gas is not being pro-
duced from the leased premises at
the expiration of the primary term
of the lease but the owner of the
lease is then engaged in drilling
for oil or gas, then the lease shall
continue in force SO long as drill
ing operations are being diligently
prosecuted. IF oil or gas shall be
recovered from any such we'll drill
ed or being drilled at or after the
expiration of the primary term of
the lease, the lease shall continue
in force SO long as oil or gas shall
be produced from the leased prem
ises."

lobby proposes:

is then engaged in drilling the

Gaming Arrest Upheld
By Court Of Appeals

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday reiterated the
principle that an arrest may be
made without a warrant wherever
grounds exist for the belief that a
felony probably has been COM
mitted.
The case before it concerned the
arrest and subsequent conviction
OF Leslie w. Mills charged with
operating O numbers game and
possessing numbers slips.
Mills had teen arrested by police
after they received information
that a man driving car closely
resembling Mills auto was pick
ing up numbers in a certain neigh
borhood.
For several days they observed
Mills entering and leaving a num-
ber of buildings in the area,
sometimes carrying a paper bag,
and on one occasion counting
money.
They accosted him and asked
him to hand over the bag. In it
they discovered numbers slips. He
then was arrested.
Answering the appellants con-
tention that the arrest actually
occurred when the bag was de-
manded, the court held that if
this was so there was probable
cause to justify it considering the
circumstances.
The court held that a warrant
was not necessary "in view of the
fact that there was reasonable
grounds to make the arrest"
Since the arrest was legal. the
court held the search and seizure
was also legal.

i. ). and Britain Back
Greater Powers for
Italy Over Trieste
BY the Assoeiaied Press

LONDON, April 25.-The United
States, Britain and Italy have
reached substantial agreement OF
giving Italy large share in the
day to day administration OF
Trieste's Zone A.
After yesterdays meeting of rep
resentatives of the three nations, a
Foreign Office spokesman an
nounced:
They appointed a draft COM
mittee to put in proper form the
extensive work already DONE"
Draft Ready Soon.
1t is expected the draft of the
new plan for Trieste Zone A will
be completed in day or two. The
American, British and Italian rep
resentatives will then meet to give
1t final approval.
The new plan for Trieste was
worked out by United States Min
lister Julius c. Holmes, Sir Tierson
Dixon, under-secretary of the For
eign Office and Manilo BroSio,
the Italian representative.
Sharp Repercussions.
The talks here have brought
sharp repercussions in Yugoslavia.
American and British officials,
however, have stressed that the
aim of the London talks was toI
give Italy a bigger share of ad-
ministrative work in Trieste's|
Zone A, while keeping firmly
under British-American control
the final authority over the zone.
YugoSlavia runs Zone B in the
area, which has been made a
free territory but remains under
Allied direction because there has
been no agreement on a governor.
YugoSlavia wants it all. So does
Italy.
American and British officialsl
are anxious that Italy and Yugo-
Slavia make another try soon to-
ward agreeing on a final solution
Of the Trieste problem.
