TREND TOWARD MORE AND
MORE CORPORATE FEUDALISM'

Gus Norwood, executive secre-
tary of the Northwest Public Power
Association said that the trend und-
er proposed policies is 'less and less
states rights and more and more
corporate feudalim". Norwood sug-
gested Montana follow closely the
Oregon move to put an initiative on
the ballot to put power policy in the
hands of the state. The power policy
in that initiative would be patterned
after the Canadian law.
R. H. Wood, power salesman for
Bonneville Power Administration,
made a graph of the power needs of
the Columbia Basin for the conven-
ton, which will reproduced another
week in THE VOICE. He asked the
delegates to consider this statement:
Each minute enough Embarrassed
power runs to the sea in the Column
bia Basin to heat, light and power
the average home for SO years."
Woods explained the job of the BPA
as that of power merchandisers-
merely the marketing agency for
power produced in the Columbia Ba-
sin.
State and national figures spoke
to the delegates and members of rs
state REA co-operatives represent
ing more than 10000 Montana farm
homes and rural establishments.
Besides state REA officials the
state convention heard J. E. Corette,
president, Montana Power Company;
DR.. R. R. Renne, president, Montana
State College, Bozeman; Eric John
son, president, Northwest Public
Power Associations; R. H. Wood for
BPA; Ralph Klee, Employees Rela-
lions Director, Carter Oil Co.; Clyde
Ellis, executive manager, National

Over 600 Inmates

The Glib inmates of the state pen.
itentiary comprise a little more than
one-tenth of one per cent of the pop
uation of the state of Montana. Off
hand, | would estimate that fully
half of these men (there are less
than dozen women confined in the
institution are under the age of 35,
literally youngsters as it were. In
civilian life some few were profess
sional men, some were skilled crafts
men, but the great majority of in
mates were unskilled workers.
Of the 615, slightly over 200 have
earned the status of trusty and are
not confined within the prison pro-
per. These men work on the vari-
Gus prison farm tracts, in the carpen-
try shop, creamery, commissary,
warehouse main office, registrar of
motor vehicles office, criminal iden-
tification bureau, and other prison
endeavors outside the walls. Their
trusty status is good only so long as
they observe regulations governing
this less combining phase of prison
life. Infraction of rules puts the of
fender back behind the walls-to
stay for the duration of his term.
There are a number of differs" who
have earned the privilege of being
TRUSTEES. TRUSTEES are not confined
to cells but live in bunkhouses hous-
ing up to 60 men each.
Life for the remaining 400 prison
ers revolves around a much more
rigid pattern than that enjoyed by
the TRUSTEES. First off they are con-
ined within the walls all of the time,
and most of them are bunked two to
the cell in six by eight-foot cells
where they remain upwards of 16
hours each day.

NJ. ZINC WOULD GIVE UNION
PROPER LEADERSHIP"

Jencks charged, in his appearances
before local unions in Montana that,
"this latest move is an attempt to
brighten every militant union leader
into being a good boy, into not
pressing the companies for settle
ment of grievances. Jencks de-
clared that Barresford gave the ans
wer when he said: "The company is
not trying to destroy this union, we
are trying to give it proper leader
ship"
Jencks faces trial in Ell Paso, Tex,
on November 80, and Mine-Mill To-
Gals in Montana are reported to be
pledging all possible aid in defeat
ing the Taft-Hartley move against
the union.

The arrest came just month af-
ter Richard Barresford, top employee
relations manager for New Jersey
Zinc appeared before the House La
Dor Committee holding hearings on
Taft-Hartley, to demand government
action against Mine-Mill leaders,.
Jencks is probably best known to
Montana readers as president of
the New Mexico local union that
conducted the long and often Bit
ter strike against this same New
Jersey Zinc Company in 1851. He
also took leading part in the un-
ion movie "Salt of the Earth,
which tells the story of the miners,
their families and their union.
In testimony before the Congress
sional committee, Barresford de-
manded Legislation which voids the
contract, which gives the particular
union no power to come in on griev-
ances or other such matters" He
added frankly that he wanted the
Administration to "catch the Inter-
national Representative who is in the
pay of the International Union or oc-
casionally in the pay of the local I'M
ion, but working full time"
