ETC points out "they may be can
celled or terminated at the end of
any premium term for any reason or
no reason at all"
This "cancelling out" on policy
holder, often when he becomes i'll,
has brought grief to thousands of
families throughout the nation.
FOLLOWED MANY PROTESTS
Other charges brought against the
three companies were that they made
false statements as to the date insur-
ance benefits begin, amounts payable
for hospital room and board and sur
gical care, and the types of accidents
and illnesses covered.
The ETC said the latest complaints,
like the previous ones, were the re-
suit of nationwide investigation"
that followed on the heels of floods
of letters from angry pelieyhelders.
They were similar to ones received
by LABOR following a series of
articles on insurance gyps" in the
spring of 1854.
Out of the 81 complaints so far is
sued, only two firms have voluntarily
consented to "cease and desist" ord

been held by ETC examiners on the

to be scheduled. So far, there have

Greetings to the State Federation
were delivered by Herb Rolph, vice
president of the National Farmers
Union, Don w. Chapman, president
Montana Farmers Union and Rich
ard Shipman, vice president, MFU.
COMMON PEOPLE MUST
WORK TOGETHER"
Herb Rolph, who drove all night
to speak and had to turn around and
return Immediately to Oregon, said
the common people must work to-
gether if we are going to meet the
problems of the common people.
Understanding brings support" the
NFU president said.
He told Montana labor representa-
tives that congressman in Washing
ton, d. c., from laboring sections of
the country supported the farmers
better than congressman from MANY
agricultural areas where no Farmers
Union organization exists and the
congressman were uniformed.
Rolph said it is important to re-
member elected officials do not adj
minister our laws but rather they are
administered by political patronage
and that 500 of the effectiveness of
any law is the way it is administered
He said, eff people do not take adj
vantage of the organiZational rights
provided them in this country we are
going to continue to go down HILL"
Don Chapman expressed apprecia-
ton of Montana's $4,000 farm fami-
lies in his organization for the sup
port given their program in Wash
ington, D. c., by labor and said the
Farmers Union organized for the
same reason labor organized. He
added, 'Sno matter where man
works, in the factory or in the field
he must be considered part of the
whole economy"

Sen. Wayne Morse (Ore.) urged
tina FPC Chairman Jerome Kuyken-
dali be called for questioning before
the Senate Autobiography subcom-
mittee. He predicted that ''The Hells
Canyon decision will prove to be the
Dixon-Yates deal of the Pacific
Northwest" To substantiate his
charges of a STACKED" FPC, he point
ed out that of the five members of
the FPC four were appointed by
President Eisenhower and the fifth
was appointed by former President
Herbert Hoover.
Sen. Estes Kefauver (Tenn.) an
nounced that Kuykendall would be
called or subpoenaed for question
ing. His conduct in Hells Canyon and
Dixon-Yates "raises serious issues of
(his) propriety !" he said.
Rep. Joe Evins (Tenn.) charged
that supposedly independent COM
missions (FPC, Securities and Ex-
change Commission, etc. have be-
come political puppets on telephone
wires leading from the White House,
or from political committee.
-Columnist Drew Pearson, mean
time, accused Kuykendall of being
"far more chummy with the gas and
electric Hobbies than any previous
FPC chairman in history" He charged
that when Kuykendall was appoint
ed to the commission, the utilities
knew exactly what they were getting.
For they helped to put Kuykendall
in"
Pearson said that the driving
force behind the FPC's Hells Cam
Won decision was engineered by
"one of the most skillful lobbies in
Washington power compa-
nies. Electric light and gas COM
panies' lobbyists wine and dine the
Federal Power Commissioners, take

Sen. Wayne Morse Of Oregon has said

IMPORTANCE OF LOW COST
POWER STRESSED

The president of the MFU stressed
the Importance of low-cost power to
the economy of the state. He said,
"It isn't a question of who builds a
dam, but who can do the job that
will develop an area to its fullest
capacity" The only agency that can
develop the greatest potential in
vate industry can not do the job and
it isn't fair to ask them, he said Tt
isn't fair to ask private industry to
control floods, or provide irrigation
or develop recreation. For the multi
purpose development the nation needs
to sustain and support itself the only
agency that can do it is the govern
ment.
Chadwick Smith, chairman of the
Unemployment Compensation Com
outlined the program of the
present administration to be pre-
sented to the 1866 legislature to in
crease maximum weekly benefits, ex-
tending coverage, and increase dura-
ton of payments.
Joe L. McBreen, general vice presi-
dent, international Association of
from Portland, Ore, said,
Unemployment Insurance seems to
be going the same way as many other
laws originally enacted for the bene-
fit of labor, but which was later
5urned around and used as an instru-
nent against labor" He said there
are clearly inadequacies and defects
n the present Federal-State Unem-
oloyment Insurance system, and that,
unless these defects are corrected,
t is safe to predict that before many
more years have passed, Unemploy-
nent Insurance will have so deterior- |
ted that it will be necessary for |
abor to unite their efforts to have
he program abolished.
McBreen outlined what can be done |
bout the fact benefits have become
nore and more inadequate in relation
o wage levels and the cost of living

PRESSURE GROUPS GANG UP
ON PEOPLE OF MONTANA

Attorney General Arnold OIsen
told Montana State Federation of
Labor delegates they were faced with
having to fight corporation and spe-
cial privilege groups in the political
arena that combine their forces
against the people. He said the spe-
cial privilege groups come into the
Legislature and get laws passed for
their own benefit and their combined
efforts keep the people paying the
bill for occupationaI diseases and
highways and prevent the State Land
Board from getting full market value
for oil on state lands that would bring
more money for financing schools.
He said in states where the state
land board has latitude in dealing
with oil companies greater returns
are coming to the schools. Leases for
as much as 40% royalty are common
in other states, and in California
where the minimum royalty is IL %
the average lease is 20@o royalty, the
Attorney General said.
gas taxes in the nation, said Olsen,
and yet when Ia proposals were
presented for financing highway
construction the only one the pres
sure groups could agree on was one
that would be paid for by the peo-
pie.
Occupational disease legislation is
defeated in the legislature because
the Company doesn't want to pay
for the damage that it does to human
beings, and it is the same Company
that fights improved workmen's COM
pensation laws that would be more
decent and more honorable.
In the face of what these pressure
groups do to the people of the state
what course has a conscientious pub
ic official but to fight?, concluded
the Attorney General-GGB.

MORE THAN BARGAINING
TABLE NEEDED BY LABOR

TABLE NEEDED Is LABOR
Leroy Anderson, state senator and
candidate for congress in 1854, told
the convention, "You can not get
your share of the economic wealth
in the country simply by sitting down
at the bargaining table," He said,
Labor must be in government or
you might as we'll not sit at the bar
gaining table"
Unless labor take very active
part in local politics, said Ander-
son, the states unemployment and
workmen's compensation laws. will
continue to be antiquated. For "a
years." he said, "they have not
kept up with the increased cost of
living" He said labor would have
had right to wreck law in 1855
if local politicians had not been
looking forward to the 1856 cleo
ton.
He warned "only if you send
good people to the legislature will
you have education financed prop

tax if you don't vote better than
you did last time"
Itemizing political issues of in
terest to the trade union movement
on the national level Anderson said
the working man has been receiving
very little consideration in tax relief
from Congress, all favors going to
and their stockholders;
that public power is cheap power and
cheap power means an expanding
economy and increased jobs; that
freight rates are important to dispose
IF our produce in our raw material
state. These things can not be settled
1t the bargaining table, but must be
settled in Washington, ID. c., he said.
Anderson urged labor to get into
politics, by telling people their view
