Good Poultrymen Won't Have

With returns from eggs continuing
attractive, producers probably will
aim to expand flocks a little, even
if the egg-feed ratio in the next three
or four months is slightly less favor
able than a year previous.
Commercial broiler production
will continue its upward climb, al
though the rate of growth may be
less than in recent years. About 935
to $50 million broilers were pro-
duced in 1858 against only 615 mil
lion farm chickens, so that broilers
are now the major source of chicken
meat. Broilers are likely to approach
the billion mark in 1854. Market
supplies of broilers and farm chick

Each year II National Egg Laying Contests held
in the various states. Most of the countrys leading
poultry breeders participate in them.
In addition, of these states hold Random

The idea of the contests is to pit one breeders strain

of other states, which in every in
stance uphold the right and respon-
sibility of the Attorney General to
represent the public interest when
ever that interest is threatened by
utilities, or from any other source.
The Attorney General also points
to the historic role of his office being
considered that of public defender,
and refers the Montana Supreme
Court to various cases involving COM
mon law, and calls particular atten-
ton to a decision of some years
back by our state supreme court
which held that:
''It is the general consensus of
opinion that in practically every
state of this Union whose basis of
jurisprudence is the common law,
the office of attorney general, as
it existed in England, was adopted
as a part of the governmental ma
chinery, and that in the absence
of express restrictions, the COM
mon-law duties attach themselves
to the office so far as they are APP
plicable and in harmony with our
system of government :" Estate

In contending that "the duty and

that the State of Montana by law and

S725,000 TELEPHONE
LOAN APPROVED FOR
THREE RIVERS COOP

Rural Telephone Administration,
Washington, this week approved a
loan of $725, 900 to the Three Rivers
Telephone Cooperative at Fairfield.
The loan will be used to build lines
and other installations to bring tele-
phone service to Ito subscribers
in Teton, Cascade and Lewis & Clark
counties Application for the loan
was made in 1850.
In addition to the three counties
above, the cooperative is also Ii
censed to do business in Chouteau,
Judith Basin, Pondera, Liberty and
Toole counties.
Merrill C. Plummer, Power, coop
president, said that although he had
not received specific information con-
corning granting of the loan, he be-
lieved it would mean the coop may
be able to let contracts within a few
months for the initial project to bring
service to the Ito subscribers.
Actual service probably could not
be started before next spring." Plum
mer SAID.
AS a nucleus for its operations,
the Three Rivers Coop obtained an
option in July 1853 on purchase of
the Fairfield Telephone Co. from
Juanita Oleson. The coop was incor
porated for 1928, 1000 in 1850, headed
by Plummer as president; Ralph j.
Parker, Fort Shaw, vice president,
and Reece Silve, Fairfield, secretary
treasurer.
Original incorporators in addition
to the officers were C. o. Juelff,

idle since May Z, John Fonk, presi-

statement in connection with a let

"The East Helena AS&R workers

pears to contain a change in the COM
pany's position regarding the current
dispute which has shut down the
plant" said Fonk.
II say appears to contain change
in the company's position advisedly,
because Mr.. Doerr's letter is still
couched in the same vague terms
which has marked all of the COM
pany's announcements during the
lockout. 1t is difficult to understand
whv the company cannot come right
out and say what it means-to say
what is black and what is white. The
letter leaves the company's position
in doubt" he continued.
'In order to determine the COM
pany's meaning it will be necessary
for the union committee to get more
Qualification and to come to some
agreement on the Interpretation of
the vague phraseology in the letter"
Funk said. when that is done, the
union will officially answer Mr..

EAST HELENA AS&R-- STEL TERMEN'S DISPUTE
CONTINUES DEADL0CKED

East Helena AS&R workers have
been out since May over the firing
OF nine employees who objected to
o major "speed-up" in the sintering
plant without more men being put on
to handle increased production. Since
then, management has steadfastly re-
fused to consider arbitrating the is
sue, although the union contract pro-
vides for arbitration of grievances.
The company has also refused to con-
slider offers of assistance by U. 5.
Cancellation Service to work out a
means of settling the dispute.
Reports are that, despite the com
pany's attempt to push back-to-work
movement, AS&R employees are re-
naming firm until such time as
satisfactory formula can be worked
out for reaching settlement.
In the meantime, we have also
been advised that the union is filing
charges with National Labor Rela-
tions Board against the company's
East Helena division for failure to
bargain in good faith on new con-
tract. Contract negotiations between
other metal companies and other
AS&R plants and their workers are
currently underway in an effort to
reach a settlement by the termination
date of present contracts, June 80,

rather, she can furnish every
