well pumphouses by Kalispell

Young Grizzly Fails
In Human Relations

WEST GLACIER = The two
year-old half grown grizzly bear
that was frequenting Going-to-
the-Sun highway in Glacier Ma
tional Park failed to adjust him
self to encounters with vacation
ers.
Being a grizzly and two years
old, he apparently had just left
his mother, according to park
rangers.
Sunday and Monday there were
reports of the grizzly acting con-
siderably more aggressive than a
black bear. The black bears some
times tolerate picture taking and
sometimes don't. The grizzly didn't
like the idea of visitors getting
close. His wandering then took
him to Avalanche campground,
and there the king of the wild
showed nothing but disdain for
men. There were a number of
hurried runs by people back into
their cars. A picnic table or two
got in the way of the bear.
However it took little effort to
trap the bear Monday. Salmon
was used for bait, and the trap
was large metal culvert with
gate on the end. The young king
was considerably perplexed find
ing that metal bars could hold
him.
This first grizzly since the war
to frequent highways in Glacier
is being sent to Montana State
university for scientific research.
The university wanted a grizzly,
and turning the animal who had
further learned little fear of man
back into the park was not con-
sidered wise.
Glacier has over 100 of the es-
timated 800 grizzly bear left in the
United States.

Plant Strike Settlement Closer

The Flathead's ten-week old
strike that stopped construction Of
the Anaconda Aluminium Co.,
plant April is within a few steps
of settlement.
j. w. Cullen, vice president Of
the j. A. Mcneil Co., excavations
and foundations contractor, COM
mented Thursday morning that the
Mcneil company hopes to get back
on the job this month.
Reasonableness on the part Of
interested parties also seemed ap-
parent in talking to Robert Har-
ris, business representative for the
carpenters council, Thursday
morning.
Wednesday afternoon actually
saw the first meeting between the
Mcneil Co., and business agents
for more than a month. Cullen,
it is reported, offered a 715 cent
an hour increase. The unions seek
Is cents, and the session was con-
tinued until Thursday at 2 pm,
and then Thursday noon post
poned to Friday afternoon.
The Hungry Horse News feels
that Mcneil men will return to
work especially if there is con-
tinuance of the present willingness
on the part of interested parties
to compromise. American Bridge,
erecting steel, Jalmar-Olman sid
ing buildings, and Fischbach and
Moore, Brown and Johnston and
Casey Electric electrical wiring
contract in addition to the main
powerline, can be expected to re-
sumo as soon as the Mcneil unions
agreements are signed.
A meeting was to have been
held between Foley Constructors
and union business representatives
Thursday at 10 am, and then was
postponed TO await conclusion of
the McNeil-Union sessions.
Foley Constructors, general con-
tractors for the plant, are on a
cost plus rather than firm con-
tract, in plant construction. The
Anaconda company in view of la
Dor negotiations elsewhere in Mon
tana would not approve a raise
here. This directly effects any de-
cision of Foleys, but statements to
the effect that Foleys are out
should be classified as rumor. They
are still the plants general con-
tractors.
Wednesday marked the first an
niversary Of the official start of
plant construction June 9, 1858
when excavation started on the
long-awaited $50,000,000 Flathead
aluminium plant.
Employment building the plant
reached 700 last fall, dipped brief
ly to near 400 in February, and
then climbed back to touch 1,100
last March with payrolls over
100000 a week. Mcneil employ
ment topped 500, and Foleys was
at 270 in March.
The six basic crafts, making UP
the Kalispell Building and Trades
council, are the carpenters, operat-
ing engineers, teamsters, cement
iron workers and labor
ers.

HUNGRY HORSE-This coming
week is to see water storage in
34-mile long Hungry Horse reser-
voir pass its previous high mark
of 2,846,000 acre feet reached last

Council Declares
PriVies Must Go

Columbia Falls that turned from
town to city status May has de-
cided that the time has come for
all privies used or unused within
the city limits to be removed.
There is a possibility that the out
buildings could be converted to
such uses as tool sheds.
Columbia Falls has had an or
dinance for years requiring mod
ern plumbing facilities.
Monday the council read a re-
port of local sanitary conditions
presented by DR.. w. F. Bennett,
city health officer ,and took ac-
tion on the privies besides dis
cussing the whole problem.
This included the 40 outside priv
les counted within incorporated
limits, and two instances where
cess pools or septic tanks are To-
Gated in areas of poor drainage,
and the liquid is pumped onto the
surface.
Other criticism of local sanitary
was the need of a fence
around Crystal spring water sup
ply reservoirs, and the unsanitary
condition and nearness of the city
5umpground to the community.
City water meets state board of
health requirements and is chlor-
mated with only a minimum treat
ment required.

This type Of information has

Within "a hours of the cease

Dispatches to the Paris news

powerful postal employe groups
who swing q lot Of weight in
the various congressional dis
tricts throughout the country.
Also, they are not overlooking
the vote potential Of the nearly
2 million other Federal workers
who. together with their fam
lilies, have a bloc Of 5 or 6 mil
lion votes.
With the close division of
seats in Congress, loss of just
a handful of Republican mem
bers in the November elections
could give the Democrats con-
troll Of the House and possibly
the Senate, they say, And the
pay raise issue could be the key
one in number Of congressional

With this in mind, a number
Of Republican members are ask
ing their leadership in the House
and Senate to schedule action on
the pay legislation this week.
These members feel that the
situation could be worked out If
President Eisenhower would
speak his mind and let Congress
know just what he would accept
in the way of pay legislation. ;
n n \
FACTORS - Probably the
main factor holding up a Fed
eral pay raise thus far has been
the postal rate increase issue.
Postmaster General Summarized
is insistent that a rate increase
accompany a postal pay boost.
And Mr.. Summerf1eld says he
has White House support on the
matter.
However. Chairman Carlson OF
the Post Office and Civil Serv-
ice Committee is against a postal
rate increase at this time. And
the Kansas Republican is prob
ably Presid emit Eisenhower's
closest friend in Congress. Sena-
tor Carlson visits frequently
with the President, yet he is very
cool toward a rate boost and is
emphatic in saying there will be
no postal rate increase this year.
Senator Carlson has promised
to schedule rate hearings as soon
as Congress convenes in January,
but that is as far as he will go.
Another obstacle thus far in
the pay raise drive has been
Postmaster General Summer
fields request for salary reclassi-
flcation authority and the bitter
opposition it has aroused from
the postal employe groups.
Mr.. Summerfield has worked
hard on this proposal and feels
