Butte School Board Gets Arbitrary
Teachers May Go To Court Over
voiding of Seniority Clause

Because of the seniority clause in
the contract Butte teachers expected
the appointment to move along ac-
cording to seniority status and APP
plications were not made by other
principals for the position, but appli-
cations were made for positions left
vacant by the natural move-up of
the next in line, who had an applica-
ton in for the job and the recon-
mendation of the superintendent.
Three of the four school board
members who voted to abrogate
the contract of the Butte Teachers
are members of various unions.
The Butte Teachers Union feels
this fight might mean the life of the
225-member organization and are
willing to fight through the courts to
uphold the validity of their contract.
For this purpose two attorneys have
been retained awaiting the outcome
of the disagreement on the school
board level.

Butte teachers are preparing to
go to court if. necessary to defend
the seniority clause in their contract
with the Butte School Board, which,
they feel was abrogated when the
board placed teacher who had never
had principals rating into a super
visory principals position in the sec
ond largest school in the Butte school
system.
The seniority clause in the con-
tract of the Butte teachers pro-
vides pathway for the promotion
of principals who are classified IN
three groups: Beginning principal,
teaching principal and supervisory
principal.
The Butte Teachers Union ap-
preached the school board before
final action was taken on the APP
pointment that stopped qualified
principals from moving into an adj
vantageous position, and reminded
the board they were ignoring the
contract.

commercial companies, through which

LEGALITY OF interim
GROUP TO BE TESTED IN
L & G DISTRICT COURT

John L. Luke) Mekeon, Ana
conda attorney, yesterday after
noon, filed a writ of mandamus in
Lewis & Clark District Court, ask
ing the court to order the State
Board of Examiners to certify
claims filed by members of the
interim state government reorgan-
ization committee to the State
Auditor for payment.
The interim committee was set
up by the 1855 Legislature for the
purpose of studying state govern
ment and to report their findings
to the 1857 Legislature for legisla-
tive action. A ma jority of the board
of examiners has refused to honor
expense claims filed by the COM
mittee, contending that interim
committees are unconstitutional
in Montana.
Earlier, the 1858 Legislature set
up a similar interim group. Secre-
tary of State Sam w. Mitchell, act
ing as a private citizen, went to
court to enjoin its functions on con-
stitutional grounds. The State SUI
preme Court upheld Mitchell's con-
tention that such interim groups
are unconstitutional. Since that
time there has been a considerable
body of opinion that if Montana
desires interim legislative commit
tees, the Legislature should put the
question up to vote of the people
via constitutional amendment.

$56, 207,088, compared to S52,671,-
$40 in 1863. The phoney CONSOLE
dated net income" figure, some four
millions less than in 1853, came
about because of the company's
familiar attempt to hide true profit
picture.
BOOKKEEPING TRICKS
Chairman Cornelius F. Kelley and
President Robert E. Dwyer, the
WALL STREET JOURNAL reported,
said "the decline in net (income) was
due principally to higher charges for
depreciation and accelerated amorti-
zation." In other words, the company
is engaging in some sleight-of-hand
for collective bargaining purposes by
Understanding its profits through
bookkeeping magic charging off alb
normal depreciation and ammortiza-
ton charges.
That the company is doing all right
generally is attested to by the report
which reveals that ACM has devel-
oped multi-million ton deposit of

James d. Geisinger, former special
Assistant Solicitor for the Depart
ment of Interior, is scheduled to
testify before the subcommittee
headed by Rep. Earl Chudoff (Pa.) !.
Geisinger was scheduled to testify
before the committee last week, but
a heavy schedule on the House floor
postponed the investigation until this
week.
Geisinger's testimo ny, according
to the St. Louis POST-DISPATCH,
will reveal that the Department Of
Interior invited private companies
to suggest changes that they would
like to have made in the depart
ment's power regulations. The
commercial power companies re-
sponded through their Washing
ton lobby, presumably the National
Association of Electric Companies
and its $4,000 year lobbyist,
Purcell Smith.
According to an editorial in the
POST-DISPATCH, the Department
of Interior received thirteen sug-
gested changes in power policy, and
four months later ten of the thirteen
were adopted by Interior.
"The ten changes were made YER
batim as suggested by the private
power lobby" the POST-DISPATCH
declares. '"They had been made with
put consultation by the Interior De-
oartment with the Rural Electrified
