The years-long battle to stop the
Infamous slaughter Of Yellowstone
Park elk via the firing line took
another turn recently, reports Ber-
nard King, board chairman of Rocky
Mountain Sportsmen, Butte.
On June 10, Secretary of Interior
Douglas Mckay, in attempting to
duck out from under the continuing
demand Of sportsmen that a public
hearing be held on disposal of sur
plus park elk, advised Rep. Lee Met
calf and Sen. James E. Murray that
''inasmuch as sentiment for a public
hearing comes from within the State
of Montana, the proper authorities
of that state should call such a meet
ing :"
The State Fish & Game Commits
sion, upon hearing of McKay's stand,
Immediately let it be known that they
had no intention of calling any kind
Of hearing on the knotty elk dis
pOsal problem. In so doing, Commits
sion Chairman Walter Banka, Con-
rad, said that the state agency had
no jurisdiction in the matter since,
as Mr. King sums it up, "the elk in
Yellowstone park belong to all of the
people (of the United States), and
the areas outside of the park where
the elk should be transplanted also
belong to the federal government So,
the matter (of a public hearing)
definitely rests with the federal gov
eminent.
In letters to Senators Murray and
Mansfield, and Rep. Metcalf, the
Butte sportsmen, flatly label McKay's
proposal as "buck-passing", and point
out "T h e Interior Department,
through the Park Service, controls

the disposition of elk. The Agricul-
ture Department, through the Forest
Service, controls the grazing areas
that are needed for elk They are
both under the protection of the fed
eral government to conserve this and
other forms of wild life for posterity.
The State has no power to forbid
or command, and they know it. Ev-
eryone knows it..
Calling the turn on the year-long
stall of the Secretary of Interior to
call a public hearing, the sportsmen
say that it now rests with Mckay "to
find a solution that will meet with
the approval Of all sportsmen and
people The eyes of the public
are on the northern elk herd, and the
answer is not to slaughter the herd
within the Park by the Park Service"

1900 signatures on the Legislative
pay increase initiative being spon-
sored by Montana State Federation
of Labor.
Sykes, a Kalispell attorney, is
not a candidate for reelection. His
only reason for not running again,
he said, is that he cannot afford to
continue to leave his law practice
for $40 a day during legislative
sessions.
The Legislative pay initiative, if
successful in making the general
election ballot, would ask Montana
voters to approve increasing the
per diem of assemblymen from $40
to $25.

In the morning session, before the

of legislative affairs in Washington.

beneficial to labor on Montana sta

RECALLS 1947 PREDICTION

Associate Justice r. v. Bottomly,
in speaking to the convention, re-
called that in 1947 he had predicted
at the state federation of labor con-
vention that reactionary forces, fol
lowing passage of the Taft-Hartley
Act, would attempt to secure enact
ment of right o-work" laws in
the various states. "They want to
free labor, they say. What for ?"
he asked. g. to put labor right
back where it was before there were
labor unions -
"The same thing goes for the cur
rent campaign to free the Indians, :"
he continued. "The aim is to grab
immense Indian-owned resources of
timber, land, oil, power sites :"
And, cit is the same philosophy of
greed that mOtivates the drive to
grab all the other great resources
belonging to the people = such as
'tidelands' oil, public power and atom
ic energy-for the selfish benefit of
the few
Continuing, he emphasized that
recent history shows that free
government can no longer exist if
organized labor is destroyed"
Referring to the court, he said,
"Your supreme court is the last re-
sort for your rights under law; your
life or death, your property +. ex-
cept :. for those coming under fed
eral jurisdiction Human rights
are first and superior to property,
yet," he pointed out, property is
supreme in so many minds :" By
way of illustration, he referred to

nary service to stockmen, and how
