issue, and in closing asked him ''do
you really understand what you are
doing?"
The complete text of Miss Condor s
letter to the Governor follows:
Dear Governor Aronson:
ri am astounded and amazed at
your recent statements to the Wool
growers Association in Great Falls
You will recall that some months ago
I urged you to join with me in a pub
lie discussion of our different opin-
ions in regard to oil leasing policies.
At that time you said in reply that
there was nothing to discuss" APP
parently you have changed your mind.
Perhaps you are now convinced that
the National Republican giveaway
program should be followed vigorous
ly on the state level, too. | do not
agree Now, after several months of
thinking the matter over, you OBJ
viously believe there is something to
discuss.
81 again strongly urge you to ac-
cept the offers of free radio time
and the use of a public hall for you
and me to debate the issues together.
"Whoever writes your speeches for
you is welcome to attend and par
ticipate in the debate also, if you
so choose.
"Your adulation of the Legisla-
ture, as displayed in your Wool
growers speech indicates that you
do not believe other elected Off
cials, including executive and ju-
diciaI officers, should be free to
criticize acts of the Legislature. In
light of this attitude on your part
it is difficult to understand why
you exercised the Governors right
of veto, as you have done specific
allv on Important education legisla-
ton.
Governor, why do you oppose
proper school financing as demon
strated by your 1856 message to the
your veto of legislation
Montana to accept Federal
education aid, if available, and your
peculiar stand on the state land leas-
ing issue in favor of the oil interests,
and against schools. Do you really
what you are doing?'

The Aluminium Workers Council
AFL scored an overwhelming victory
over the CLIO Steelworkers in the
union representation election at the
Anaconda Aluminium Company plant
at Columbia Falls, Monday of this
week. The vote was 281 for the AFL
union to lat for the Steelworkers.
This defeat of the Steelworkers
union to gain sizeable toehold in
Montana is the latest of several such
defeats suffered by that union in re-
cent years. Previous defeats were adj
ministered by the independent Mine,
Mill & Smelter Workers in fighting
off attempts by Clio Steel to raid
Mine-Mill jurisdiction in Butte, Ana
conda and Great Falls. Steel has been
successful in only enc major instance
and that was in securing bargaining
rights for unorganized workers en-
ployed by American Chrome Com
pany in Saltwater county.
Earlier, in the fight to obtain bar
gaining rights at Columbia Falls,
Mine-Mill was also seeking worker
approval. However, last week the
independent union Withdrew from
the contest in favor of the ALL. In

WORLD BARLEY and OATS PRODUCTION UP

World production of barley and
oats is headed for a postwar record
if present prospects materialize, re-
ports to the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture indicate. Sharp increase in
these crops in North America offset
reductions in some other areas, es-
pecially an indicated reduction in the
Soviet Union.
With the exception of the U-S.S.R.
the world production of oats and bar
ley is indicated as excellent. Large
production in the u. S. and Canada
as well as high level of carry-over
stocks are confronted by well-above-
average crops in Western Europe,
traditionally the largest foreign mar
ket for these grains.
The U. S. barley crop, 387 million
bushels, is only slightly above last
years large harvest but carry-over
stocks are at new record. This
brings our total domestic supplies TO
an all-time high of SIT million bushels

son.

Aronson renewed his accusation tina
the Land Boards attack on the law:
of the state and their refusal to carry
out the laws as applied to oil leasing
has caused the loss of many million:
of dollars to our state.
(The Governors contention be-
fore the Woolgrowers on the state
having lost millions of dollars" is
in contradiction to an admission
he made at the March 1855 meet
ing of the Land Board when he
said "there probably was no loss
to the schools" because of the 1858
law going through the courts.

branded as liars, conspirators and
thieves. Their every activity has been
bounced upon as vehicle for poll

"a fall in farm prices is felt in

the farmer gets less money for his
product, he must draw on his re-
serves, leaving no money to buy ma
chinerv or automobiles. The man who
sells to the farmer quickly sees the
decline in his own profits, and he
buys less. Soon every home in the
state has felt the effects of falling
farm prices.

Montana's farm products. The
soundest solution which has been
offered is a system of price sup
ports which would allow farm COM
modities to be sold on the open
market, and compensate the farmer
for the difference between the
market price and full parity. This
system is now working for wool

MUST RESIST ATTACKS ON
LOW COST PUBLIC POWER

"The people of Montana and the
nation must be alerted to resist the
vicious attack now being made on
public power. Rising prices of sup
plies is as great threat to the farmer
as the falling price of his product. An
increase in the price of power would
accelerate the catastrophe of farm
depression.
Caught in the cost price squeeze,
the farmer must have the increased
productivity made possible by cheap
public power if he is to maintain his
very existence.
sRural lectric co-ops are now
more important than ever to the state
and national economy. Only through
co-ops have we been able to cope
with the problem of bringing power
