A Montanan's

There was good news for Montan-
ans all around town last week.
/. The Senate agreed with the
House that up to $230,600, from ex-
listing funds, should be earmarked for
Montana school districts which have
Indian pupils but didn't receive all
the funds promised by the Indian
Bureau last year. The success of this
authorization is due in good measure
to the strong testimony of six Mon
tana school administrators before the
House Appropriation committee last
month. They were State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction Mary Con-
don. Helena, and Superintendent
Alice Fossen, Wolf Point; Willard ].
Smith, Hot Springs; P. c. Crump,
Roman; A. L. Dean, Poison, and H, R.
Salyer, Hardin.
e The Senate also approved House
and Budget requests for $2,570,000
to fight the spruce budworm in Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washing
ton, which is threatening an esti-
mated $38 million worth of timber.

joint conference but, because the two
above items have already been agreed
upon by Senate and House, their final
approval is virtually assured.
3. The Senate Interior Subcommit-
tee on Minerals, Materials and Fuels
concluded its hearing on the govern
ment manganese purchase program.
John Cole, Butte, president of the
Domestic Manganese and Develop
ment Co., in which the federal gov
eminent has large interest, was one
of the witnesses. He said after the
hearings that he is encouraged to be-
lieve the government will shortly
okay operation of a pilot plant in
Butte, using both red and black ores.
Eventual full production could mean
about so more jobs in Butte.
1t was brought out at the hearing
by Clarence A. Fredell, Government
Services Administration official who
started out as mucker in Butte,
that only Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. and the Domestic Manganese and
Development Co. in Butte have the
know-how to process certain needed
ores. Other Montana mine executives

who testified were L. B. Manning
and S. r. Knapp of Philipsburg.
A. The Interior Department an
nounced that 491 million tons of strip
pable Ignite coal reserves west of
the Yellowstone River in Dawson and
Richland counties have been mapped.
According to Interior, these areas
could supply much of the demand
of the Pacific Northwest, because
they contain abundant supplies of
easily obtainable Ignite and in addi-
ton have excellent railroad connec-
ton with the Northwestern states"
Copies of the detailed report show
ing distribution of the Ignite and
other data can be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents, U. S.
Government Printing Office, Wash
ington %, D. G. The report is titled
"Three Deposits of Strippable Ignite
West of the Yellowstone River, Mon
tana" bulletin 995-H, Geological
Survey and sells for SO cents.
A joke going the rounds rather
neatly sums up the struggle between
car manufacturers, anxious to in
crease sales, and union leaders con-
cerned over unemployment due to
replacement of men by machinery.
CIO President Walter Reuther and
an automobile company executive
were touring a. plant, SO the story
goes. Pointing to the unnamed ma
chimes the executive said, with
smile, "You won't be able to sign
them up, Walter"
mo-" replied the union leader,
tand you won't sell cars to them
either"
P ANHANDLER
Then there was the panhandler who
dropped in at one of the Montana
congressional offices, looking for a
handout. The pitch panhandlers use
here is that they're from back home.
Usually they give themselves away
by referring to the state capital as
Helena" in the manner of many
out-of-staters.
But this fellow slipped before he
got that far. Trying hard to look
like miner, he said he was from
"But-tey."

Example Of Prepaid
They Paid !. And Then Cancelled My Policy

YOUR state can be presumed to be financially
sound. 1t has to have a state license if it has
an office and salesman in your state. 1t does
not need a license to sell insurance by mall
however Buying insurance from a company
not licensed in your state is risky.
Is the named company's policy any good?
Every company sells many different types of
policies. Some may be lot better than others
sold by the same company. The name of the
company is no guide to the quality of the
policy you have.
Is my policy any good? There is only one
way to find out about any policy. You have
to read the policy several times and find out
whether that particular policy has weasel
words and if SO, which ones.
Can insurance company advertise bene-
fits that not in their policies! good many
companies exaggerate and misrepresent their
policies. Remember, you can't hold the COM
pany to anything it prints in an advertise
ment, nor can you hold the company to any
promise made by salesman. The only insur-
ance you can collect is what the wording OF
your policy states.
What can do if the company doesn't pay
off? You can raise storm You can write
to your congressman, to your daily news
papers, to this newspaper and most import
ant, you can write a letter formally COM
planning to the Commissioner of Insurance at
your state capital-provldlng the company
is licensed by your state.
What if get sick and the company cancels
the insurance? Then you can wish you hadn't
wasted your money-like the lady from Ia
coma did.
Of course if you are insured through a
union health and welfare plan, you don't
have to worry-From THE MACHINIST

SACRAMENTO, Callf.-( LDNS)
The powerful industry lobby is
riding roughshod over scattering OPP
position in this state and soon will
have the situation well in hond, ac-
cording to labor observers here.
Having managed to get the federal
government to turn over a large por-
ton of it's offshore oil lands to the
state of California land three other
states which have oil along their
coasts, the oil lobby is greasing the
skids under the states oil conserva-
tion laws.
Apparently even the State Lands
Commission is inundated, as it re-
fuses to take stand on proposed
legislation which would emasculate
it.
Under proposals expected to be
hustled through the legislature in
double-time tempo, the State Lands
Commission would have to grant
oil leases to just about anybody,
any place and any time, regardless
of the public interest.
One of the arguments used by the
oil lobby in the GOP-dominated Fed
eral Congress two years ago before
Congress passed the oil "giveaway"
bill, was that the oil lobby would
never think of pushing the states
around and demanding exploitation
rights.

The latest list of private health and acct
dent insurance companies to be cited for false
advertising by the Federal Trade Commission
brought a letter from the wife of member
of the international Association Of Machin-
lists at Tacoma, Wash.
Commenting on one of the companies, she
wrote:
Some years ago l took out policy with
this company with the hopes that / would
have insurance for the rest of my life. Then
two years ago I had to have breast removed
that had a malignant growth in it. Well, I
put in my claim and they paid it very gener-
ously but also wrote me letter just merely
saying they were cancelling my policy.
"Well, of course my condition would not
allow me to be accepted in any other COM
pany for health insurance SO you can see
where this left me. | was glad to see you
show them up"
The company Beneficial Standard Life In
surance COMPANY of Los Angeles, sells can
cellabe insurance.
The policy contained that all-important
clause giving the company the right to cancel,
or refuse to renew the insurance. It's one of
the weases in more than 80 per cent of all
health and accident insurance policies being
sold to individuals.
Ever since THE MACHINISTS began call
ing attention to the lOopholes in privately
sold health and accident insurance, many
union members have been writing to ask our
advice on the policies they are paying on.
Because the mail has been so steady, we
thought it might be useful to answer here
some of the questions being asked. Here they
are:

ance company licensed to sell insurance in

oil interests, Governor J. Hugo Aron-
son, and several court judges have
their way. The contested 1853 oil
leasing law, for all practical pur-
poses, turns control of school leases
over to the leaseholders who, IN turn,
can, for example, keep production
down to 5000 barrels a month dur
ing entire life of an oil well, thus
depriving the state of anything more
than flat 121a per cent royalty.
Under 1866 revisions to school oil
leasing laws, non-drilling penalties
are statutorily fixed at rates sub
stantially lower than what the State
Land Board has been charging; all
new leases will carry flat Sl.00
year rental instead of minimum of
rs cents which heretofore could be
adjusted upward if the value of any
lease warranted it, and finally, the

state lease during it's first six years.
Under the old law the lessee had two
years within which to begin drilling

collation.. The longer period in which
lease can now be held without de-
velopment work constitutes nothing
other than making a spectators para
disc out of state school leases at the
expense of the schools.
Thus, piece by piece, is Montana
losing control over it's state school
lands. This means but one thing
substantially less financial return to
our schools in the years ahead-un-
less the people and the courts more
vigorously back up the fight being
made by Attorney General Olsen and
Supt. of Public Instruction Mary M.
Condor to save these valuable trust
properties being plundered by the
oil industry.-HLB.

AS In Montana
OIL CROWD ALSO TRYING TO PULL
OFF "GRAB" I'm CALIFORNIA

At the time, labor spokesman lab
led this as just plain "lying propa-
ganda."
Here's the nub of the situation:
Present state laws say state land
leased to oil companies must be
rented on the basis of not less than
161a per cent royalties on all oil
taken from the land, in this case
offshore and under water.
The laws further state that the
Land Commission need not lease any
sites unless they are over under
ground pools which are being drained
by wells on private adjoining
sites.
The proposed new laws would abol-
ish this provision.
CALIFORNIA; coastline would there
upon become one large, messy line of
oil-splattered sand and chugging oil
well pumps, say those who oppose the
new laws.
Some real estate Hobbies are be-
ginning to get into the act, as they
suddenly realize that property values
along the coast would drop proper
tionally to the number of oil wells
situated there.
And California state officials who
told Congress two years ago that
they would be able to handle the oil
lobby, are mum.
