cally enough. the Labor De-

the industrial worker. The La

service would be enlisted to
find jobs for farmers who
can't make a living on the
farm.
Significantly, too, labor or
ganizations were among those
consulted in the year-long
study Of low farm income di-
rected by Secretary Benson.
Organized industrial labor is
affected. since in the "techno-
logical revolution taking place
on the FARMS" as the report
to the Secretary described 1t,
the movement from farms to
cities means just that many
more jobs to be provided in
the cities, and that concerns
organized labor. Since 1880,
migration from the farms has
totalled 21.5 million persons.
The farm population now is 20
million. The report says:
1.-THE shift from an agricul-
tural to an industrial society
has brought a vast demand
for industrial workers, and at
the same time mechanization
has lessened the need for as
many workers as formerly on
the farms. AS output per
farm worker goes on increas-
ing, still fewer hands will be
needed In agriculture for some
time to come. which means q

ment. 1t goes farther than
any previous proposal to grant
autonomy to the Tt1nisian peo-
pie. It gives them complete
control over their domestic af-
fairs but enables them to lean
on the French government for
international defense and Sc
curity.
The problems that lie ahead,
however. are more difficult
than those which have been
solved. Thus. there are about
36 million MoSlems in Tunisia
but there are $4,000 Euro
peans, mostly French and
Italians. The latter include
those who are responsible for
most of the economic progress
of the country which they now
will see regulated by Moslems
without similar experience.
Fears are emerging that con-
fiscation Of private property
will occur, and already there
is to some degree a flight Of
capital to Europe from Tu-
nisia.
How can these people who
have lived together under
French rule and under French
legal codes suddenly achieve
security or stability? A tran
sition period with certain safe
guards is envisaged, but it is a
fertile spot for Communists to
stir up the extremists.
The Communists have been
maintaining in Budapest a ra-
dio station which every day
has been broadcasting propa-
ganda of a subversive charac-
ter to Tunisia. Likewise, the
Communists have stirred up
unrest in Algeria and Morocco.
They recognize all too well that
North Africa has become the
soft underbelly of Europe"
and that Americas chances to
maintain firm air bases along
the northern coast of the Afri-
can continent are related to
the political conditions exist
ing there. If pro-Communist
factions control local govern
ments, this could upset Ameri-
can military strategy.

to vote YES in the wheat referendum
Saturday
Rep. Orvin Flare advocated APP
prevail of marketing quotas when he
visited Montana last month.
Rep. Lee Metcalf issued state
ment saying, in part, that "a vote
against quotas is vote for chain
reaction starting with unlimited pro-
duction of cheap wheat, which will
compete with feed grains and send
cattle, hog and poultry prices tum

Senator Mike Mansfield took to
the airwaves ON Northwest stations
to emphasize that NO vote would
be widely interpreted as vote

Wage earnerS in Montana non-farn
industries in May are estimated al
153,500. "This is 5000 more thar
were employed in April" says Chad
wick H. Smith, chairman of the un-
employment compensation commits
sion, "and is 10000 above the Febru-
airy figure, low point of winter en-
ployment."
Normal increase in May over April
is about 1000, the chairman added,
and the normal spread from February
to May has averaged 1000 during
the past eight years.
"This seasonal upturn," Mr.. Smith
explained, reflects the resumption
of work on construction projects, IN
numbering and logging, in retail and
wholesale trade, service industries,
transportation, and to some extent IN
governmental activities. Such en-
ployment normally reaches its maxi
mum in July to September"
Estimates released by the commits
sion in collaboration with the U. S.
bureau of labor statistics indicate
construction contractors had 2,40O
more men on jobs in May than IN
April. The timber industry was up
by 900, and was still hampered by
soft roads in timber areas, keeping
some crews idle until conditions i'm
prove. Trade employment increased
during the month by LOO, service
industries by 500, government 400,
and transportation 300.
Unemployment at the end of
May was 5,565, or 626 below the
level of a year ago, Chairman Smith
reports. These figures represent
the aggregate number of work
applicants at the % employment
service offices of the state at that
time. About two-thirds of these
applicants are also claimants for
unemployment compensation, 3, 54o
in the week ending May 26.

EDUCATION
School Construction: The Education

posing federal assistance to the states

Employment Increased $500 In
May, As Compared With April

as compared with 1876 the same
week a year ago. This year federal
unemployment is included in the
figures, with 76 in that category, so
the private industry claim level is
actually below that of a year ago.
A month ago there were 1882 claim
ants, and two months ago, in April,
there were S,105. High point of the
winter was 1O,476 in early March"
Prospects for July and August en-
ployment, Mr.. Smith continued, are
favorable Employment service of
fices throughout the state report a
huge backlog of construction projects,
logging and numbering assignments,
repair and improvement programs,
and other seasonal industrial open
ings.
Harvesting and canning of vege-
tables will require substantial blocks
of labor, the cherry harvest in north
western Montana promises to hire
large numbers of workers in late
July, and the sugar beet industry is
set to use many hand laborers until
its harvest is completed in late fall,
the commission says. Much of this
labor migrates or is brought into the
state for beet work.
Several large construction
items" MIR. Smith said, will reach
completion during the summer. The
new aluminium plant at Columbia
Falls now uses 1 200 men, but will
be releasing large numbers shortly
as contracts are completed. Tiber
Dam on the Marias River is expect
ed to finish this fall, about 400 are
employed there now, with a peak
of $50 in prospect. Large building
projects at Billings, Helena and
Bozeman are reaching the finish
ing stage"
Lumber and logging activities are
to add several hundred men
o their crews during June and July,
laving been delayed in reaching peak
by adverse weather in
lay. Another important item in the
picture is the start of
obstruction of an airbase at Glas-
ow, scheduled for July. Up to 400
r 500 workers will be hired there
uring the summer.
Operation of the aluminium plant
4 the Flathead will require 500 to
90 workmen on year-round basis,

er. Screening of applicants and ten
alive hiring of these forces has al

the Grow Indian tribe, and to advise
the subcommittee of his discussions
