Benson will be in Great Falls to ex
toll the merits Of the Republican fleX
IDLE farm support program.
The next day, Benson and his pro-
gram are such to catch it, but good.
Senator Wayne Morse, Oregon, will
on that day also speak in Great Falls.
Morse, considered by many as the
outstanding member of the Senate
these past two years, has been unre-
lenting in his criticism of the Eisen-
hover Administrators giveaway of
off-shore oil lands, the Republican
attempt to scuttle public power, and
the flexible price support program.
Nine days after Morse comes to
Montana, Charles Brannan, former
Secretary of Agriculture, will make
three speeches in the state in behalf
of farm program which will spell
other than financial ruin for the ma
TONS farmers. He is expected to ex-
pose the COP farm program for what
it is-a long-term proposition to force
half or more of the nations family
farmers off the land in favor of cor
poration farming. Brannan will speak
in Glendive, Monday, October 18; in
Havre, the 18th, and on the goth, ad-
dress the opening session of the 39th
annual convention of Montana Farm
ers Union in Great Falls.

BUTTE MINERS TURN
THUMBS DOWN ON
ACM'S scent Offer

BUTTE,-Nearly 1900 members
of Miners Union No. /, meeting
Wednesday night, unanimously re-
jected the three-cent per hour wage
increase "offer" made by Anaconda
Copper Mining Company earlier in
the week, Ernest Salvas, District
board member of Mill, has an
nounced.
In so doing, Salvas states that the
striking miners consider "ACM's puny
offer of three cents an insult and
unworthy of serious consideration"
The ACM's offer, Salvas asserted
in a radio broadcast Wednesday eve
ming &, would not add a single
penny to the company's operating
costs and that ACM was trying to
get away with a fast one" In substan-
tiation, he pointed out that ''the three
cents would cost the company about
$4,000 per year in Montana. But,
said he, "the company made that
same amount, $54O,0OO, as additional
wlndfall profit on its zinc stockpile
as the result of the recent increase
in the price of zinc. This, of course,
would leave the company's profit of
$4,000 per every single employee in
tact and untouched"
"The strikers see through this dis
honest trick, however," Salvas told
the radio audience. "We're telling
ACM it's time to quit being cute and
get serious about settling this strike
with a serious, substantial offer"
Negotiations between the company
and the union under auspices of Fed
eral Cancellation Service will be re-
sumed next Tuesday after having
been recessed early this week.

CONTRIBUTES $50 TO
help CARRY ON
HELLS CANYON fight

In response to an appeal for addi-
tional funds from National Hells
Canyon Association to carry on the
year-lOng fight to save Hells Canyon
dam site on the Snake river in Idaho
from the anti-union Idaho Power
Company, Helena Trades & Labor
Assembly, this week voted con
tribution of $50 to the association.
The MICA, composed of labor,
farmer, business and professional
groups in the four northwest states,
apd financially aided by various farm
cooperative groups throughout the
nation and national labor and public
power groups, has carried on costly
legal battle before the Federal Power
Commission for more than a year
to keep this "last remaining great
dam site" from being lost forever to
the people of the nation.
Starting from what appeared a
futile effort to block the giving away
of this 800, O00-kilowatt power site
by Secretary of Interior Douglas Nc
Kay, the association has carried on
such a spirited fight that nationwide
indignation has been turned on Nc
Kay with the result he has been con
stantly giving ground on the issue
But, more funds are needed to car
ry on the fight to save the site and
to eventually assure a greater pros
perity for the entire northwest via
of the abundant supply of low cost
power Hells Canyon will provide as
an attraction to bring more new jobs
producing industry to the region.
Interested Montana people may
send their contributions to James

dent of National Hells Canyon Asso-

who came to Missoula to dedicate a

ASK AFL PUT FRANK
EDWARDS BACK ON AIR

All American Federation of La
Dor unions in Cascade county have
been asked by the Cascade Trades
& Labor Assembly to write the
AFL in behalf of getting Frank
Edwards back on the air with his
nightly news commentaries, reports
John Evanko, Jr., secretary of the
council
Edwards was dismissed late in
August by the AFL executive coun-
Gil after more than four years on
Mutual as the voice of more than
ten million members of organized
labor. During these four years Ed
wards became a Unjust" in millions
of homes and was rated by radio
listener surveys as number three
commentator in number of people
tuning in his broadcasts.
Prior to the dismissal action, Ed
wards had given the executive coun-
Gil notice that he wished to leave
tic pToSf dHt ny tic iiNSt Vi Vic
year.
The AFL, in firing Edwards,
claimed he intersPersed too much
editorial comment in his news re-
porting. Edwards, in letter to the
Editor of the VOICE, stated that
President George Meany was at
tempting to impose censorship on
him which was so intolerable that
he felt he could not continue to
work for the AFL.
Edwards was succeeded on the
AFL program by Harry Flannery,
who, although good enough
straight news commentator, seems
to lack the ability Edwards has to
hold the ear of the listening audi
ence.

Speculation has already started in
the Capital City over the possibility
that William P. Pilgeram, former
state land commissioner, who ran
second to Austin B. Middleton in the
July 20 primary, may be a strong
contender for Democratic nomination.
1t is expected that widespread support
for Pilgeram to be the party's stand
ard bearer for the office will be forth
coming as soon as Attorney General
Olsen's opinion becomes generally
known and understood. Pilgeram, long
active in Montana political circles,
it will be recalled, made an outstand-
ing record as an administrator during
his four years as head of the Depart
