FuVor Casey In
Linemen WulkoUt

A decision in favor OF casey
Electric Co. on the September ~
day walkout of 40 linemen at the
Anaconda Aluminium Co. plant has
been received.
Making the decision in favor OF
the contractor was the Council on
Industrial Relations with flVe
members from the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
AF of L, and five representatives
from the National Electrical Con-
tractors association. The meeting
was in Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 10.
The subsistence or travel pay
issue resulted in a walkout OF 4O
linemen off the FiSchbach and
Moore, Brown-J ohnston and Casey
Electric contract at the aluminium
plant, The linemen are paid the
coast scale of SO an hour, and
wanted subsistence of S5 a day.
Bricklayers, plasterers and some
electricians receive such addition
al payment.
The walkout ended when con-
tractors and union decided to sub
NIT the issue to the national poaro
representing the union and con-
tractors. In the meantime casey
i agreed to pay $3.50 subsistence
4 day into an escrow account 10
each lineman.
Decisions of the Council on In
dustrial Relations are unanimous
It reads: "After careful consld
Grafton of evidence submitted, tn
council rules as follows: The EN-

1854 generally has been a diff

wet. with early October drler
weather providing break. Nov
ember temperatures were above
average, and lack of drying con-

trucks on the spur roads.
The present cold is occurring at
time when there is less snow
than usual in the mountain TIMBER
areas further benefitting Flathead
loggers.

Re-Ooen Middle Fork Elk Hunting

WEST GLACIER-Elk hunting
season on both sexes re-opens sat
urday along a narrow strip OF the
Flathead rivers Middle Fork pc
tween West Glacier and the con-
tinental divide at Summit.
The season will be open eaen
saturday and Sunday in an area
boilnded on the north by Glacier
National Parks boundary and on
the south by U. S. highway NO. 2
from West Glacier to Essex. Inen
there is a closed section where NO.
3 rims in Glacier itself. AT Java
underpass, U. S. 2 leaves Glacier
and the parks boundary becomes
the Great Northern malnllnes S
right-of-way. Open season from
here to Summit will be between
the highway and the park side OF
the railroad right -of-way.
Waters edge is the park boun-
dary on the Middle Fork. IL Is
mid-stream on the North Fork.
The special season will be clos
ed on two days notice by A. "A;
O'Claire, Helena, state fish and
game warden. Open season INTO
January is anticipated.
Purpose of the special season IS
to help control surplus elk IN Gla-
cier National Park. Ordinarily al
this time of year, deep snow drives
the animals down, with some
crossing the river where they can
be hunted. The park hasn't had
deep snow conditions so far this
fall However cold weather is
bringing some elk down above Es-
sex. Snow in that area is about
foot deep.
Idea of the open season for Sat
urdays and Sundays and closec
Monday through Friday is to a.
void having a firing line along the
park border. A day after day rifle
barrage would discourage ell
from leaving Glacier believe part
