The convention in August will be
the 18Th annual gathering of the
State Federation which was organ
lied in 1894. 1t was first called the
Montana Trades and Labor Council.
A few years later it took the name
of the Montana Federation of Labor.
A peek into the history of the AFL
tells us it was an independent organ
ization until 1908 when it affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor.
Mr. Umber's secretary, Dorothy
Engledow, tried to find out how
many presidents there have been in
the organization, but hit a snag at
the year 1904. In the 51-year period
since that time however, there have
been five presidents elected, with
James D. Graham serving the longest
term from 1880 until his death in
1851. Alex Fairgrieve (1904-1910),
M. M. Donoghue (1910-1920) and
Steven Eli (1920-1930), proceeded
Mr.. Graham as Montana Federation
presidents.

Farmers Have Choice Of Less Acres Or $Ioo Wheat

fluence the farmer in his vote decision.
cat the same time, the American Farm
Bureau Federation has taken a middle-of-
the-road stand. contendng that the alterna-
tives available under the present law do not
give the farmer a clear or fair choice. The
Farm Bureau position reflects the official
but unstated position of USDA, which would
prefer the chance to fix wheat price sup
ports at $50 of parity if the marketing quo
tas are rejected at the referendum in July"
The Washington reporter for the NORTH
WESTERN MILLER magazine then adds,
"The first break in the stalemate on the
wheat referendum marketing quotas for
the next crop came April ~, as the big
Farmers Union GTA and the National
Farmers Union announced in ST. Paul
drive to persuade farmers in the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Montana to vote in favor
of marketing quotas. 1t is in these states,
the reporter points out, where substantial
votes have in the past been able to sustain
this CONTROL" Right they are.
Other reporters in Washington tell us that,
f'The Department of Agriculture cannot crys-
tallize on the outcome of the Forthcoming
wheat quota marketing referendum. The
trade talk from Washington, as printed in
the NORTHWESTERN MILLER, is that, "At

the USDA, officials who have had previous
experience in these votes, say that wheat
farmers in the Pacific Northwest and Kansas
wheat farmers, who favor two-price
system, will vote down the marketing quota
proposal, hoping thereby to force Congress
to accept the two-price idea"
But the reporters caution their readers to
take this with a grain of salt, because, at
may be wishful thinking, however, to write
off the Farmers Union and GTA strength
which is at the ward level where its country
elevators can get out favorable vote. If that
activity is strong enough, the Farmers Union
could overcome the dissent in other sections
of the Farm Belt
The same kind of information goes 80 eli
ents of expensive news services such as the
Kiplinger Farm Letter. They recognize the
Farmers Union and GTA won the quota vote
last year. North Dakota alone turned the
tide with Eyes" vote of 95% That is why
they say, "The Farmers Union and GTA have
the power to win or lose it this year,
Mighty big order. Puts US all on the spot.
But mug-wumps and fence-stradders have
no home in the Farmers Union or GTA.
That is for certain. If the Eyes, vote wins,
we'll be proud of what the farmers OF the
Northwest have done again. If wheat quotas

are rejected for 1856, we will be proud of
what we tried to do-everything we could.
But in the meantime, wheat farmers have
all Washington politicians in other.
That's what the Doane Agricultural Service
tells its subscribers. Last year, wheat quotas
passed by only margin. Severe
acreage cuts this year do hurt. No doubt
about it. But whether few acres hurt as
much ST wheat is another question And
corn-hog farmers would be hurt as much
wheat farmers if the wheat program is
killed
Quoting from a farm magazine service,
Feed grain prices would be hurt seriously
because wheat would be cheap enough to
feed. What thing to have happen in the
election year of 1856" That's what the farm
management publication tells its subscribers.
Another reminder that farmers do have date
in 1856.
We urge every wheat farmer-get all the
facts. Weigh them carefully. First of all, do
what you can to save your wheat program
Your whole farm program is in danger un-
less you first save your wheat program. Then
when you've made up your mind to vote Eyes"
in the wheat referendum, urge your neighbors
to do the same. 1t is your decision-make it

FAMILY LIFE CONFERENCE
AT BOHEMIAN WILL BE OF
INTEREST TO ALL

BOHEMIAN - "Helping Families
Understand" is the theme for this
years Family Life conference at
Montana State College, June 20-26,
1855, according to Dean Katharine
Roy of the department of home eco
nomics. Mr.. and Mrs. David Treat
of the Clara Elizabeth Fund for Ma
ternal Health, Flint, Michigan, will
be guest lecturers.
'"This years Family Life confer
ence will be of special interest to
parents, young people,
grandparents" states Dean Roy. "In
our rapidly changing times we have
to keep up with our understanding
of what people need in the way of.
personal relationships, and this con-
ference will provide some of the
answers"
1t is hoped that representatives of
most Montana communities will be
present, as well as professional peo-
pie. The week is designed to be edu-
cational and stimulating, with very
interesting presentations, advises
Dean Roy For further information

John t. Vance, secretary-counsel
to the Montana Trade Commission
which was given $4,000 at the
last legislative session to investigate
the price of gasoline in Montana, has
been speaking before civic and fra
ternal groups in the state on the
aims of the Commission in the in
vestigation.
Vance last week, speaking in Deer
Lodge, said the task assigned the
Montana Trade Commission of in
vestigating the price of gasoline has
its roots in the feeling of most Mon
tanans that they have been discrimi-
mated against by the major companies
for many years. Fright or wrong"
he said, "there has been the feeling
of most Montanans that they were
paying too much for gasoline
This feeling" Vance says, has
not been based on reasoned con-
sideration of all the economic fac
tors that GO into establishing such
price, but rather is based on
simple comparison of the price in
Montana and the price in neigh
boring states.
The Trade Commission counsel
points out that Montana has been
an oil producing state for over gen.
and yet today, according
% the figures of the Texas Company,

list of employers to whom instruc-
tions will be sent.
Sixteen IBM machines will be in
operation when the program gets into
full swing to handle cards used in
keeping records. Approximately IL
people will be required to keep the
department running. All the ma
chimes are not installed at the present
time because until the returns start
coming in in October they will not
be needed.
The type of card to be used in
the IBM machines will be patterned
after the Utah form and the instruc-
tions are based on those of Colorado.
The Board of Equalization says the
Colorado law is the most similar to
ours.
MUCH RESEARCH DONE
To reach the point where the board
was ready to mail out the instruc-
tions there have been many hours
of work which included studying
the law, many meetings of the board,
research into the laws of other states
having the Withholding law, and trips
into those states to take advantage
of their experiences.
Mr.. Brewer and Mr.. Marion ex-
pect to make another trip to some
other state when the money starts
to come in. They said, "At this point
we don't know just what we are go
ing to run into in the way of prob
lens"
There are expected to be no re-
funds given this year because the
Withholding will only cover one half
of the years earnings, but for 1856
it is anticipated well over 500 of
the wage earners will have a refund
coming The refund will be taken
care of the same way as the federal
refunds. When the wage Garner files
his final return at the end of the
year he figures whether he has over
paid or whether he must remit more |
money to the state.

come to the attention of the Board
Of Equalization is that people who

REFINED GAS SOLD
CHEAPER IN OTHER STATES

Montana refines more gasoline
than it consumes. We have surplus,
our refineries export roughly 5000
of their production to other states.
And these other states, exclusive of
taxes, sell Montana refined gasoline
cheaper than Montanans can buy it
at home. Again, many Montanans
feel that there has not been salts
factory explanation for this situation.
Recently products pipe line was
completed which runs from the re-
fineries in Billings, through Helena
