Some Timely Tips on Rural
Fire Control from the Montana
ural Fire Fighting Service

Although Montana'S grain and
grass crops this summer are the
finest in years, they can become
a serious fire hazard when they
mature, warns Carter V. Rubottom,
newly appointed State Coordina-
tor of the Montana Rural Fire
Fighters Service.
Rubottom issued his warning
after returning from a swing
through IA northern and central
Montana counties where he con-
tacted rural fire chiefs, county ex-
tension agents and others con-
cerned with rural fire control.
Right now, the MRFFS official
said, crops and other vegetative
growth is green and offers little
fire hazard However, in few
weeks it will be a different story
when this growth natures and be-
comes tinder dry.
''Now," he said, "is good time
for farmers and ranchers to take
steps to guard their grain, range
and buildings from fire"
One protective measure that car
be taken now, he said, is the
controlled burning of vegetation
around builings, using backpack
pumps and swatters to contro
the burn. If fireguards were plow-
ed on field margins or around
buildings earlier in the year, these
might we'll be cultivated now tt
destroy any subsequent weec
growth.
Hand tools used for fire fighting
can be repaired and cleaned nov
and placed in a cache where they
will be ready for immediate use
Where counties do not purchase
fire fighting tools, individual
farmers and ranchers will fine

Proper Storage Care
For Your Weed Sprayer

For Your Weed Sprayer
Agricultural sprays many Rich
land county farmers use for the
control of weeds and insects can
cause severe damage to spray
equipment if not thoroughly
cleaned.
The North Dakota Agricultural
College Extension Service recon-
mends that spray equipment in
which 2, AID, MOP or similar
materials has been used be clean
ed with a solution of household
ammonia and water.
''Fil the spray tank with water
and add l pint of household am
monia for each 100 gallons of
water and let stand for "a hours,
and agitate occasionally. Flush
this solution out through the
boom so that the complete sys-
tenn will be cleaned"
This method will not complete
ly eliminate the effect of 2, 4-D
contamination, but the equipment
will be in good shape for future
use.
Tea and similar materials are
caustic and will corrode and ruin
equipment rapidly if the solu-
tions are allowed to stand in the
spray tank for any length of time
The effect of these chemicals car
be controlled, however, if the tank
is completely flushed with water
"All sprayers should be flushed
the pump drained and all equip
ment removed and cleaned wheT
the spray season is over" "ThC
nozzles should be stored in fue
oil. If the bearings are creased
the tires blocked up and covered
the equipment will be in excel
lent condition for another season.

THE AMERICAN WAY

to suck on.
What happened directly after the
War, when all wartime restraints
on labor were removed and when
union treasures had become well
stacked with war workers dues,
brought our union leaders loudly
back into the news and gave us a
new rash of strikes. Within year
the SNOWFALL had grown large
enough to give the public at least
fair notion of the enormity of
the union situation--and of the
menace its headstrong magnates
had begun to present
The Taft Hartley" Congress of
l947 might have halted the spread
of union tyranny and given labor's
organizations back to the workers
in whose long-suffering hands they
belong. The 18th Congress had both
a clear mandate and a sober in
tention to do just that But at the
last minute its vision became
blurred and it committed a terri
Bile blunder 1t declined to stop up
an important crack in the labor
law it was so carefully amending.
By sanctifying the principle of
compulsory unionism-the union
shop-it gave new carte blanche
to manherding.
And for the past seven years the
SNOWFALL has continued unham-
pered on its Way-even to the point
of rolling over the Railway Labor
Act and despoiling that once model
statute with an amendment fully
accrediting the uniOn-shop con-
tract and adding a new force to
the principle of compulsory union
ism. A grotesque situation therel-
and one that has caused the hair
of many a venerable railroader,
whether belonging to a brother
hood or not, to stand on end with
horror.
The union leaders are correct
when they assert that to succeed,
unionism must keep going and eX-
banding. Sooner or later, if it is
halted it will be dead duck. Well,
its pretty well stymied theological
ly at this moment. The fact that it
sees its only opportunity for
further advance in compulsory
unionism is proof enough of that.
Fifty million unorganized Ameri-
can workers who can't be corralled
by any means short of the para
phernalia of legal coercion point
accusing fingers at today's brand
of unionism and by their resistance
tell the world what they think of
it, And | know that I'm not out on
any editorial limb when | assert

Unseasonably Cold
Weather Is Ended

The unseasonably cold weather
that has prevailed here over the
past week apparently was ended
yesterday when the thermometer
actually got as high as 70 degrees.
The only consolation offered was
the fact that the weather was about
the same all over the eastern sec
ton of the United States.

That the union labor leaders car
ry IA or Is million workers on their
combined books does not impress
me. That adds up TO less than a
quarter of the national work force.
| have to bear in mind the almost
SO million Americans in various
occupations who simply refuse to
join a union. This leads TO but one
conclusion that 50 million Ameri-
cans can't be wrong But why is
that large number outside the
unions? What is wrong with the
picture presented by unionism to-
day?
The answer, of course, lies in
the ease with which radicals,
racketeers and downright incom-
petents have invaded an area
which by its very nature looks for
leader ship-that and the short
sighted cooperation of the politi-
cal do-gooders who were in fed
eral office during our dark days
of depression.
Much of the answer wraps itself
around the naive Senators and
Congressman of the year 1885 who,
aided and prodded by comrades
anxious to hang onto lush politi-
cal situation, gave our country the
Wagner Act Those were the boys
who started the ball rolling for
coeI cion and outlandish unioniSm.
They wanted strong unions and
they got them. At least, they
opened the flood gates for every
embryo Stain the labor scene had
to offer-along with every brand
of loW-lived leech and parasite who
in one way or another might be
able to do the big boys some good.
They hated the economic royal
ism" of employers and they laid
stout hooks on the vested inter
ests' of such-by neatly setting the
stage for unionism as a new type
of human exploitation.
The Depression, which continued
undated for another six or seven
years after Big Labor had been
granted its Magma Charta, s.
served as an ideal proving ground
for unionism's newly allowed tech
niques. Yes, and the country saw
plenty in the way of cracked skulls
and sabotage, of shakedown and
shambles. 1t also saw the growth

not know that these top labor bosses
both i'm the CLIO and AFL, now
amalgamated and united. are up tC
their individual and collective ear,
in politics is simply ignoring the
facts. The evidence is so clear thai
it cannot seriously be challenged
Nor can it be challenged that back
in the forties-right after Roose
velt's death-they gave serious
thought to the launching of an
American Labor party in this coun-
try along European-especially
English-lines. What killed that
notion were their two spectacular
defeats, sustained first when they
sought to put the late Senator Taft
out of public life. and again in 1858
when they united against Mr.
Eisenhower in the country.
Since then nothing more has been
heard about the American Labor
party and there has been a rather
complete shift in the political STRAIT
egg of the labor bosses They still
want to run the country, but they
want now to run it through the
Democratic party, where their dom
nance seems greater every day
They are in practical control of the
National Committee, closely allied
personally as well as politically
with governors such as Hartman,
of New York; "Soapy' Williams,
of Michigan, and long list of sem
ators like Humphrey of Minnesota;
Murray, of Montana; Lehman, of
New York; Nicely, of West Virginia;
Kefauver. of Tennessee. and many
others. So far as known, none of
the labor bosses now cherishes per-
sonal presidential ambitions. What
ever they may previously have done,
these men who WELD so much
power do seem not to want to be-
come President themselves. What
they do want very fiercely, indeed,
is to nominate and elect Presi-
dent upon whom we can depend"
Their hope is to go back to the
Roosevelt New Deal and Truman
Fair Deal days when they had the
run of the White House and could
count on White House support for
every legislative proposal they
favored.

Recent Democratic successes in
state and congressional elections
have undoubtedly created consider
able optimism in labor circles as to
their ability to win in 1856 with the
old setup. Starting with that 49,
100000 Democratic statisticians
figure various ways by which it
can be done But it does not appear
to convince those who voted for
Eisenhower before. There, of
course, are some, but it isn't easy
to find 1852 Eisenhower supporter
who would now oppose him. With
his personal popularity apparently
unimpaired, with the country pros
porous and the world at peace, the
anti-EiSenhoWer arguments some
how seem to lack substance. There
are some who think that if, through
a series of vicious strikes, the labor
bosses could disturb nationwide
prosperity and throw lot of people
out of work it might hurt Mr.. Eisen-
hover. 1t also might increase the
distaste of the great majority of
voters for country dominated by
the labor bosses and their political
puppets. There are some, too, who
contend that the Eisenhower popu-
lar strength may evaporate. That
is true, but hardly without a
reason. Neither Mr.. Stevenson nor
anyone else has as yet come up
with a convincing one.
