sion, "were $370,748, 1000, an increase
of fourteen million dollars over the

Employment insurance contribu-

Board member Salvas, as a pre-

to hammer out a legislative program
for Mine-Mill in Montana, reviewed
actions favorable and unfavorable to
labor and the public generally by the
1853 Legislature.
He pointed out that due to the edu-

occupational disease workemen's
comp initiative campaign, labor and
its allies were able to secure the big
gest improvement in disability bene-
fits in the upwards Of 40 years since
the workmens compensation act was
placed on the books. Weekly benefits
were increased by $500 a week.
Monthly payments to Silicotics from
Public Welfare funds were increased
from $50 to $50 per month. These
improvements were made, he said, in

FIGHTING REPUBLICAN
LIBERAL FILES FOR
2ND DISTRICT CONGRESS

Charles H. Mahoney, 48, long time
state senator from Garfield county,
and an outstanding leader of the mi
nority liberal wing of the Republi-
can party in Montana, this week filed
for his party's nomination for Con-
gress from the Second District.
Mahoney, majority leader of the
1851 State Senate, and always thorn
in the side of his ltra-conservative
colleagues on the COP side of the
upper house, is a rancher near Jor-
dan.
He has long been active in rural
electric and farm supply coop circles
and currently is president of Farmers
Union Oil of Jordan and a director
of the McCone County Electric Co
OPP.
Others who have filed for the Re-
publican nomination for Second Dis
trict Congressman are Alden Good
win, Great Falls school teacher, and
James T. Harrison, Malta attorney.
Orvin Flare, Big Timber, and lead
er of the Jaycees, has also announced
his intention of entering the July 20
nominating contest.
On the Democratic side, Senator
Leroy Anderson, Conrad, who over
four legislative terms has proven to
be a consistent champion of labor,
farmer and the public generally, and
Theodore Johnson, Glendive, liberal

motion during the spring, unemploy-

recession was over.
Now contrast the current picture.
Unemployment began to set in last
October, reaching total of 1,850,000
in December 1858 and then follow
ing this course for 1854:
January: up $4,000
February: up $4,000
March: UP $4,000
April: down 100000
Thus in 1854 unemployment during
the first three months increased more
than in 1850, and during April de-
creased less than half as much.

faced that 1854 may not show as

From ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

From ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
President Eisenhower recently
noted with satisfaction that signs of
a business upturn generally out
weighed the unfavorable factors in
April, but, just as he was warning
against over-pessimism a few weeks
back, he now warns against taking
an over-optimistic view of present
prospects.
That his warning was well taken
is clear from the Governments I'M
employment report for April, just
released. The encouraging thing about
the report is that unemployment last
month showed the first decline since
October, drop of 100000 The not
so-encouraging things about it are
that April unemployment of 1885,
900 nevertheless was the second larg-
est April figure since the end of
World War II; that factory employ
ment continued to decline in April
by 100000, and is now 100000 off
the level of year ago; and that the

economic situation is whether it rep
resents a self-correcting inventory
REIMBURSEMENT like that of 1949-50 or
the early stages of more serious re-
cession demanding Government coun-
ter-measures to prevent it from be-
coming worse. Expert opinion appears
to be divided. All that can be said at
this stage is that the employment pat
tern is not following that of 1850,
when the country successfully pulled
out of its recession without strong
Government measures.
In December 1949 there were 3d.
489, 900 persons out of work, and in |
the early months of 1850 unemploy-
ment took this course:
