Strike Thonqhts

Organized labor is in a difficult situation here
in the Flathead
If they succeed in getting wage increase
building the AAC plant without a strike it will be
feather in their cap. Men will have slightly high
er paychecks. The whole wage pattern throughout
Montana and the Pacific Northwest will have added
leverage upward, and the AF of L unions appar-
emily feel they will have better chance to or
ganize the aluminium plant it is operating, in
preference to the CIO.
Labor seeking higher wages is something like
a merchant charging more money for a sack of
spuds, if he can get it.
Then of course, a strike is labors most prac-
tical method of achieving wage increases.
We should not forget that wage negotiations
between management and labor is two-way prop
osition.
Yet, we honestly believe that labor at this time
would be making mistake, if to achieve Is cent
wage increase, they would stop construction of the
aluminium plant for a period of time.
Labor apparently feels that if the plant is down,
it won't be for long. If they are wrong, the whole
economy of the Flathead-almost everybody-wll
suffer.
OF the nearly LOO men working at the plant
1t appears that about half are men who follow
construction projects and do not look themselves
as part of the Flathead's population.
Many of these men obviously are interested in
wages they receive while the plant is being built
They have less to care whether the Flathead
gets industry to lick its seasonal unemploy-
ment problem
Nor does the construction worker or for that
matter contractor here this year and gone next,
have particular interest in whether the new Ana
conda plant finally becomes a successful operation,
and as a result encourages industry in this
section
Organized labor of the Flathead worked hard
to help bring construction of Hungry Horse Dam.
Labor groups sought better roads for timber
to bolster Flathead mills, and their support and
interest strong seeking industry that would
help lick seasonal unemployment.
Again we should keep in mind that strike
suits from the inability of labor and management
to get together, usually over wages.
We do not think the Flathead is in favorable
light having strike interrupt construction of its
first big industry, recently arrived and not
yet operating in the valley The factor does not
courage more new industries
Obviously there many opinions on the strike
topic We should keep in mind that living costs are
not particularly increasing while unemployment
is rising nationwide.
Hungry Horse Dam, of course, requiring up to
$500 men led the way in wage scales for Montana.
There was demand for men,
Prevailing aluminium plant construction wage
scales are somewhat less than the dam. We believe
Flathead wages should equal construction wages
paid in Mssoula Great Falls and Butte. We do
not feel this area a manufacturing center is as
favorably located from the cost, transportation,
weather and market standpoint as Spokane.
If the series of strikes develop in the Flathead
they are not wildcats-there will be unhappy
people It's too bad. MR.

Dwight Crisis See Coyotes
by Apqar School


APGAR-A creek runs acros!
Dwight Crisis back yard. Satur-
day Jimmy and Margaret looked
out the dining room window anc
saw two coyotes on the other side
of the creek. They came to g
hole, and poked their heads in it
Mamma said the marten had been
hiding food there and the coyotes
probably smelled that. They they
went into the brush, came out
again and trotted off up the hill.
Margaret Ann likes her new
glasses. She says she could seee the
mountains so much better when
she went for news.
TAKES FLU SHOTS
We went to West Glacier last
week for flu shots. DR.. Bennett
wasn't there for a little bit so
we went in to visit the 1st, End
and 3rd grade and their teacher,
Mrs. Willows.
We really enjoyed it and were
sorry the doctor came. We wish
we could have stayed longer and
visited the upper grades. Mrs.
Powell is their teacher.
On the way home a coyote
crossed the road that leads to the
head of the lake. 1t stopped and
looked at us then disappeared in
to the trees.
We want to thank the commit
tee who had charge of the flu
shots. They did a fine job. Mrs.
Don Robinson, Mrs. Ev Lund-
gren, Mrs. Fladmark and Mrs.
Estes were working on this COM
mittee. We also thank DR.. Ben
nett who gave the shots.
ROBIN AT BREWSTERS
Well, well Spring is here. At
least a number of reports came
in about robins. Grandma Brew
ster said a lone robin was sit
ting out on the snow. Then he
hoped under tree where it
was bare but it was hard digging
for poor robin.
Donna said, when went home
to get my bike to go up the hill
for news, there sat robin on the
snow eating bread. Dad said he
had seen them too. 1t surely SEEM
ed nice to see them again. Now
we know Spring is here"
It's hard to believe this spring
business when we see the several
feet of snow in the school yard.
There are bare spots here and
there and the snow is gradually
going down. The road is bare.
There was lots of wind last week |
and we couldd see and hear the
lake as it came roaring in.
CUBS VISIT
The cubs came to visit school
last Wednesday afternoon. We en-
ioyed their visit. Mrs. Washburn,
Grist and Floren sent cookies so
had cookies after the
school had entertained the cubs a

Den mother, Mrs. Fladmark and
Mrs. Grist were in charge of the

u. 5. Job Situation
By the Associofed Press

Secretary of Labor Mitchell
said yesterday he hopes Ameri-
cas- working people will note
on this Labor Day that we are
currently making progress in
providing more jobs for our
people"
At the same time, some of
the country's top union leaders
issued Labor Day messages
sharply critical of Eisenhower
administration actions on the
economic front.
AFL President George Meany
said the administration failed to
develop a program to create jobs
or increase purchasing power
during the recent business de-
cline but waited for conditions
to right themselves. He added:
"Only time will tell what a
dangerous gamble this do
nothing policy will turn out to
be-"
Crumbs" Says John L. Lewis.
John L. Lewis, United Mine
Workers president. accused the
administration and Congress of
extending benefits to organized
wealth and offering crumbs to
the lower Income workers" and
of shelving plans to reform"
the Taft-Hartley Act.
CLIO President Walter Reuther
asserted, 'in the light of our re-
sources and our needs, our Ma
tons unemployment is both
un-American. uneconomic and
unnecessary"
Mr.. Reuther said there are 141
labor markets with more than
6 per cent Of the working force
unemployed, including As labor
surplus areas with IL per cent
or more unemployment.
Mitchell Voices Confidence.
Mr.. Mitchell expressed conf
dence that the combined ef-
forts Of labor, management and
the Government will continue to
improve our economic situation"
You may be sure" he said,
that the Government will not
relax it's efforts to extend all
possible help to labor and man
agement in their programs to
provide more jobs for those who
want them"
American workers are better
off materially than any other
workers in the world, Mr..
Mitchell declared.
1T is our aim," he said. "to
see that the share received by
the working man and woman
bear a fair relation to his con-
tribution to the national wealth.
Where other systems have falsely
claimed to do this through gov
ernmental direction, we have in
our country, in fact, achieved it
through the free-enterprise eco
nomic system"
Mr.. Meany and Mr.. Reuther
both pictured labor as leading
the Free Worlds fight against
communism.

Puerto Rico Dockers
Win Wage Increase
by The Assoeiaisd Press

SAN JUAN. Puerto Rico. Sept.
4.-Seventy-one days Of conflict
between shippers and the AFL
dock workers union involving q
34-day strike and government
seizure Of the docks have ended

stantial wage increase to the
lockers.
The AFL dock workers (UTM)

20 cents hourly pay increase to
dock workers over their present
$1.23 an hour minimum. The in
crease Is spread over % months.
It is expected that the insular
government will promptly-prob-
ably by next Wednesday-return
to the shippers the piers seized
July % in order to bring to an
end the strike that endangered
the islands economy and food
supply.
The controct runs to Septem-
Der 80. 1856. and Is retroactive

wage increase of 10 cents an
hour for all 1854. It gives an
other 10 cents an hour increase
