StrikeCriipp|es
Six New York
Newspapers
Guild and Other
Unions Stoy Out
With Enerovers
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Nov. ga strike
today disrupted publication of
six major New York news
papers-all except the Herald
Tribune.
Five hundred members of the
AFL International Photoen-
gravers Union, the men who
make metal plates to reproduce
pictures in the papers, walked
out demanding higher pay and
other benefits.
Their action was given force
when some 10000 members of
other unions-newsmen printers,
telephone OperatorS-refuSed to
cross picket lines and did not
report for work.
The Herald Tribune is not
affected because it has a con-
tract with commercial firm for
Its photoengraving plates.
Hit by the strike were the
Times, Daily News, Daily Mirror,
all morning newspapers, and the
Journal-American, World-Tele-
gram and Sun. and the Post,
afternoon newspapers. The aft
ernoon newspapers were the first
affected.
One Edition Printed.
The Journal-American sue
ceeded in printing one early edi-
ton before the strike became
effective at about $50 am.
The Post said it would not
print any editions today. The
World d-Telegram and Sun was
not publishing.
All the struck morning papers.
however. printed predated Sum
day editions during the night
and expected they would appear
on neWsstands tomorrow morn
ing.
The struck newspapers an
nounced that, starting Monday
morning, they will take advertis-
ing space in the Herald Tribune
to print news. They will divide
the stories among themselves to
avoid duplication.
All the struck newspapers were
being picketed.
Pickets Shout "Scab."
About 400 men gathered across
the street from the main en-
trance of the Times. They
shouted "scab" and booed those
employees who did enter the
building.
Dennis Burke, president of the
striking union. said that ito the
best of my knowledge" no en-
ployes who are members of other
unions. except possibly deliverers,
were entering the struck plants.
The photographers, who get
$120 a week for day work and
$131 for night work, have asked
for a SIS a week pay increase.
They said the publishers had Of
fered $3.75 package" includ-
ing a pay increase, an additional
holiday and an added welfare
program contribution.
Negotiations on a new con-
tract, to replace one that eX-
pired October 81, broke off yes
terday after the photoengravers'
union voted, 207 to 147, against
arbitration.
Union Ready To Talk.
William Mapel, president of
the Newspaper Publishers ASso-
citation of New York, said 1T
doesn't make sense to me" that
the union accepted arbitration
in San Francisco and rejected it
in New York.
Mr.. Mapel said, 1--WE have
done everything a human being
could do and that no further
meetings we're scheduled be-
tween the union and the pub
fishers.
Mr., Burke described himself
as free" and said he was ready
to meet with any one who wants
to straighten matters out"
Mr.. Mapel's Office, in the
Times Annex at Times Square,
was without elevator service be-

Controversy Continues :.
OVERCAST DENIES, TRIB CONFIRMS
SPONSORSHIP OF MATUS0W

Overcast also declared that the
Legion had nothing to do with Ma
tusow's appearance in Montana as
was reported in The Tribune. He call
ed that report erroneous and said 1T
was an example of cleft wing" jour-
nalism.
Can advertisement in the October
10 issue of The Tribune said Matusow
was sponsored here by the American
Legion, Junior Chamber of Com
merce and Speakers Bureau. The ad-
vertisement was placed in The Tri-
bune by the commander of the local
Legion post. The same ad termed
Matusow Communist Spy for the
FBI.")
Overcast named several Montana
organizations which he termed Com
munist fronts and urged the local
COP women to "expose any persons
you know are Communists"
He praised Senators Mccarthy iR-
Wis., and Jenner (R-Ind.) for their
anti Communist work and said legis-
lative investigating committees are
better fitted to investigate Cormu-
mist activities in this country than is
the FBI.
The FBI, he said "fears investi-
eating committees may disturb some
of their pipelines of information or
disclose some of their informants.
He said that often when the FBI re-
ports Communist activity, nothing is
done about it.
Other speakers on the program
were Magistrate George Millions and

CONG. Lee METCALF REPORTS
FROM WASHINGTON

will give the Hells Canyon site to the
Idaho Power Company. The Republi-
cans then presumably will be able
to say that it was the FPC, an "inde-
pendent" Government commission,
which blocked Hells Canyon, not the
Administration. To accept this would
be to ignore the fact that the Admins
tration has a majority on the FPC
and that the Administration deserted
Hells Canyon in the middle of the
FPC hearings, now postponed until
July 7.
The shuttle given Libby and Hells
Canyon dams reminds me of state
ment President Truman made at Kali
ispell last October 1, when he dedi~
Gated Hungry Horse Dam. 1t went
like this:
"Now l want to give you a little
advice. All of you who are here to-
day had better go over and take
another good look at this dam be-
cause if the Republicans win this
election it will be long time be-
fore you see another new structure
of this kind"
He was followed into town by a
Republican truth squad" which
scoffed at his statement. l hope the
truth squad" members = Senators
Hickenlooper, Case and Ferguson
were right. But the evidence so far is
to the contrary.

Vic Overcast, Cut Bank, Friday
defended charges made here last fall
by Harvey Matusow, controversial
figure who purported to be an ex-
Communist, by saying Matusow chad
government documents to prove what
he was saying"
Speaking at meeting of the Coun-
cash reiterated some of Matusow's
charges and displayed pamphlets
which he said were government docu-
ments supporting what he charged.
Overcast has been active in anti
Communist activities in the state and
formerly was chairman OF the Ameri-
can Legion's Un-American Activities
Communism. He said he chad some
thing to do" with bringing Matusow
to Montana during the political cam
paign last fall.
Matusow in a speech here last Oct.
Ia warned of the dangers of Commu-
mist infiltration into social, govern
mental, educational and religious
agencies and named many organiza
tions which he said were "Red infest-
ed" or Communist infiltrated. (Some
of Matusow's assertions here were
later shown to be erroneous.)
The Cut Bank man declared that
Matusow had been a witness for tire
FBI but he "never stated he was an
FBI agent or that he had been en-
ployed by the FBI."
"He merely furnished the FBI in
formation" Overcast said, "f r
which he received pay for his ex-
penses."

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
BEATS DOWN rs PER
CENT TAX LIMIT

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-The So
called "millionaires' amendment"
which would limit income taxes to rs
per cent of earnings, was defeated
by the California state senate reve-
nue. and taxation committee.
Specifically, the legislation would
have forced the legislature to ask
Congress to call constitutional con-
vention to bring about the 25 per
cent ceiling. If 80 states approve such
a measure-as now appears unlikely
largely due to the fight made against
it by trade unions and other pro-
gressive groups-Congress will be
forced to issue a convention call.
Secretary Treasurer C. J. Haggerty
of the California State Federation of
Labor told the committee that only
1 per cent of the nations taxpayers
would benefit by the amendment.
That segment would include only
families whose incomes total more
than $4,000 year and single persons
who make over $4,000. He added
that corporation savings would be as
high as GA per cent.
Haggerty pointed out that the
probable result would be imposition
of national sales tax to make up

porter ana feature WIICSI LUZ Cue

captain in the army during World

writer and using subjects found in
the Northwest, he has recently pub
lished articles on everything from the
problems of Alaska to a spool on the
use of "cheesecake" art, which was
reprinted by Readers Digest. "In
general Mr. Neuberger says, 81 be-
lieve the independent journalist can

not write anything which offends his

assertions are yet reported. Foreigr
comment of this method is that it is

For a time at least, we may have
seen the last of the huge multipur-
pose dams which mean so much to
the economy of the Pacific North
west and the rest of the nation.
On the first two such projects to
come up for consideration since the
change in Administrations, the Adj
ministration has registered its disap-
proval.
These, as you know, are Libby
Dam and Hells Canyon.
Libby got a fast shuttle. This $285
million project was authorized by
Congress and still has that authori-
cation. The initial appropriation for
the dam required that before part
of the investigation funds could be
spent, progress must be shown on ne
gotiations with Canada toward a wa
ter storage agreement since the dam
would back water up into Canada.
These negotiations were being handl-
ed by the International Joint Com
mission, group set up to handle In
ternational Boundary water cases.
Secretary of State Dulles with
drew the U. S. application before the
IJC in April after Senator Prescott
Bush (R-Conn.), Chairman of the
Senate Subcommittee on Flood Con-
troll, wrote that IJC approval of the
project "would not be in conformity
with the Presidents program with re-
spect to balancing the budget"
Net result of this withdrawal is
that the Corps of Engineers has no
money with which to continue investl-
cations into the various sites proposed
for the dam.
Meanwhile, this necessary project
Edward Martin (R-Penn.) has intro
duced bill to rescind Congressional
authorization for the dam because,
he says, its construction sis not de-
sirable."
Hells Canyon Dam is in a different
position. The Federal Power Com
mission will decide on it. Before the
FPC is an application by the Idaho
Power Co. for authority to build a
single of-the-river dam in the vi
cinity of the site of the proposed Fed
eral dam. The private utility dam
would not provide nearly as much
power as the Federal project and
would bring none of the other bene-
fits, such as irrigation, reclamation,
flood control and recreation.
When Idaho Powers "spite dam"
was proposed, then-Secretary of In
terror Oscar Chapman interviewed IN
the case in opposition, saying the site
should be reserved for multipur-
pose public project. Secretary of In
terror Mckay has cancelled that in
tervention.
1t is rumored here that the FPC

STATE OF AFFAIRS
would like to be able to put
across, however, the fact that the
method of determining rate increases
has reached a confused and compli
Gated state of affairs.
For instance: The MST&T Co. in
sists rate-making must be determined
on the value of total plant based on
reproduction cost new, less deprecia-
tion," or in other words, present
cost" of the total plant. Opponents
of the increase believe the increase
should be based on "original cost
less depreciation.
There has never been a deter
mination by the Montana courts as
to what is the proper basis for rate
increases.
A test of this sort could be brought
about by a consumer protest via the
courts, or by the Commission refus-
ing the increase and the company in
volved going to the high court. In
spite of the fact the telephone com
pany wants 100000 in net revenue
from consumers pockets to stabilize
their company in the money mar
ket" and the Gas company has filed
request asking for a rate increase
amounting to a couple of million
dollars, the consumer shows little in
terest in the proper basis for de-
termination" for increases in utility
rates and the utilities generally, bene-
fit from the confusion. Oh lethargy !!
Thou are the jewel of monopoly
profit!
There are a number of reasons
why such a determination would
be desirable. The biggest reason,
probably, is that the State of Mon
tana has no one who can analyze
any of the companies records If
they received every work sheet the
company has kept since the year
/.
MST&T counsel has pointed out
that their books are constantly super
vised by the Federal Communications
Commission. In the area of rate in
crease hearings many believe that
because of this an FEC representa-
tive should be present to help clari-
fly MST&T bookkeeping for those who
are not conversant with methods and
results. Though the Commission seems
to feel their knowledge of FEC con-
troll is sufficient, opponents to in
creases who grope for understanding
of the matter are not in possession
of the material, and lacking the help
FEC could give, are never quite able
to analyze MST&T figures. Oppon-
ents, therefore, lacking the sources
to bring understanding of the COM
plicated financial implications of fig
ures presented only by company rep
resentatives, ultimately consider any
decisions coming from their Railroad
and Public Service Commission as
entirely political. The atmosphere
that develops is not healthy, for the
merits of an increase are never salts
factorily evaluated by all interested
parties.
This simple, if revolving fact,
makes an irony of the oft repeated
statements of cooperation on the
