VICTOR CHEMICAL WORKERS NEGOTIATE WAGE BO0ST,
OTHER CONTRACT IMPROVEMENTS

The more than 225 members of
General Laborers Local 1913, Butte,
employed by Victor Chemical Com
pany at Silver Bow, have completed
negotiations on a new two-year con-
tract, carrying with it a general wage
increase plus other improvements.
Under terms of the new contract
a seven cents an hour, across-the-
board wage increase was negotiated.
This brings the minimum base scale
for yard labor up to SLIT per hour.
For first class mechanics and heavy
equipment operators the new base
scale is $2.07 per hour.
In addition, the attendance bonus
was increased from five to seven
cents an hour, applicable to all clas-
of labor in the plant. APP
proximately 80 per cent of all en-
ployes have attendance records good
enough to ensure their receiving the
extra seven cents per hour above |
their base wage scale.

'SeIfish Exploitation"

Holifield, member of the House
Senate atomic energy committee,
urged Congress not be "stampeded
into hasty action" involving basic
changes in the atomic energy act.
Administration bills CHR 1862 and
S 1929, he said grant normal pat
ent rights in new industry that's
not normal and is susceptible to
monopolistic control by few large
firms" that got atomic know-how as
government contractors.
Holifield commended President
Eisenhower for urging 5-year bar
on exclusive patent rights. He said
10 years would better protect the
public interest, however. 1t would

Atomic Energy Commission needs
that much time to build reactors and

Pending bills would let patent
holders start using patents imme-
diately, Holifield pointed out. This
would very likely be "a monopoly

He suggested a "two-package APP
proach". First, complete legislation

trict Council of Lumber & Sawmill
Workers Unions has recommended
to all its affiliated Local Unions
throughout Montana the taking of a
strike vote in support of current
demands for a general wage increase
of 1872 cents per hour. The District

a request that all balloting be con-
Guided by May 20. Each individual
Local Union will schedule its own
strike vote meetings with proper adj
vance notice to its members and will
conduct its own balloting independ-
emily of other Local Unions.
Meanwhile negotiations towards

sue will continue, although to date
no Montana employers have made
even counter-proposal to the
Unions proposed offer of settlement
at 1212 cents per hour Officials of
the District Council state that ru-
mors of an immediate strike are
groundless, and that no strike will |
be called by any Local Union or by
the District Council pending the out
come of proper strike vote procedure
and continued efforts to effect a
peaceful settlement.
The strike vote to be taken
throughout Montana area is stimuli
taneous with similar strike votes
which will be taken during the COM
ing two to three week period by

pending further efforts to get the
company to settle the dispute over

Fonk and his executive board, is
sued the following statement yester-
day as to the position of Local Union
70:
Local 70 has met with the Com
pany several times in an effort to
settle the present grievance involv-
ing the speed up of workers at the
plant. We have suggested to manage
ment arbitration of the issues in
volved as a means of settling the

that this problem is not a subject for
arbitration.

advised against present action. Since
the action has been taken we have
advised the men to return to work |

tacted the company in an effort to |

to strike action as a final means of
lettering their contract. Only one

At Whitefish, electric consumers
have banded together to seek redress
through the Public Service Commits
sion over new schedule of cleo
tricity rates granted Mountain States
Power Co., last year.
Currently, the 80 to AZ per cent
rate bump granted Montana Power
is in the courts in a fight headed up
by Attorney General Olsen who con-
tends the rate increase to be COM
pletely unwarranted. Olsen on sew
eral occasions has gone on radio
and television to tell the people the
facts behind his contention that the
increase should be knocked out. He
has cited sworn testimony given by
MPCo. President j. E. Corette be-
fore Federal Power Commission in
September, 1851, that no consumer
gas increases would be necessary be-
fore at least 1857 if FPC permitted
the utility to import gas from Can
ada for the exclusive use of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Co. This re-
quest was granted in early 1862.
$3.50, 900 ANNUAL SUBSIDY
TO ACM
Olsen has also told the people,
via radio and TV, that Montana
Power was selling gas to ACM at
loss of 31a to 6 cents per thou
sand cubic feet. In standardization,
he again quoted sworn testimony
given before the FPC by Corette.
This below-cost selling of gas to
ACM it is estimated is costing the
$4,000 other MPCo. gas consumers
more than $45o,0OO a year.
The Attorney Generals office also
las filed suits seeking to nullify the
70 per cent rate increases granted
Mountain States TEL and Tel. and
he Fl to 55 per cent gas rate boosts
pproved for Montana-Dakota Util-
ties Billings gas division, by the
'ublic Service Commission last year.
he Billings Gas Consumers Asso-
lation has also filed a request with
he commission for rehearing on
ne increases granted MDU, on the
rounds that the new schedule was
unreasonable and con-
scatory.
