Public Employees

We realize that the government
of the State of Montana, and the
cities and counties thereof, are large
businesses that demand efficiency and
economy in operation. There has been
large and costly turnover in the
administrative personnel of the var
ious city, county and state depart
ments of government. Well trained
and qualified people are necessary to
the efficient operation of city, county
and state government. Therefore we
urge that the salaries and wages of
public Officers and employees be in
creased to a standard comparable with
like responsibility in private industry.
We oppose any reduction in bene-
fits to the members of the Teachers
Retirement system and Public En-
ployees Retirement System, but
rather support the widest possible ex-
tension of such benefits.

Small Business

The Eisenhower Administration has
placed in government agencies and
departments men who are favorable
toward big business and have but
little, if any, understanding of the
problems of small business. This is
reflected in the twenty per cent in
crease in small business failures and
the fifty per cent decrease in small
business profits since 1852.
We charge the Republican admin
istration has failed to enforce the
antitrust laws against giant cor
porations, but has used these same
laws to harass small business.
We urge defense contracts be CIV
en- where possible to smaller corpora
tons to develop these for the ma
tional strength, in place of making
giant corporations larger.
We find there is a pressing need
for corrective action by government

Utility rates have jumped to an
all time high in the State of Montana.
Rate orders have been made which
discriminate against the general pub
lie.
We urge, with respect to rate prob
lens, that the Legislature of Montana
provide the Public Service Commits
sion with sufficient appropriations so
that independent, competent and quail
flied rate experts and engineers may
be employed to make proper recon-
mendations to the Commission in all
future rate cases that it require of all
rate applicants specific and complete
evidence of its operating costs, taxes,
and cost of capital invested as it is
applied to it's Montana operations.
1t is imperative that consumer in
terests be recognized and considered
in all rate hearings. We urge the Gre
alton of the office of Public Defender
to assure the people that their inter-
ests are protected in this State, where
utility interests are so powerful.
The staggered six-year term of
Public Service Commissioners tends
to make this board insensitive to pub
lie opinion and public interest. We
urge the Legislature to make study

YeIlowtaiI Dam

After more than twenty years Of
labor by Montana citizens, Chambers
of Commerce, and elected officials
of the Democratic Party, appropria-
tions which would have permitted
start of construction of Yellowtail
Dam passed Congress, only to meet
with a Presidential veto brought on
by the unwise and unwarranted inter
ference of a Republican Congress
man of the Second District. This great
loss cannot be measured in dollars
and cents alone, for unless retrieved,
it also represents loss of opportunities
for generations of Montanans yet
unborn; it means the loss of time in
the development of our natural re-
sources that could we'll play a de-
Gliding factor in national defense. The
loss it represents in flood control,
power and reclamation is too great
to be measured.
We commend our Democratic Sen
ators Murray and Mansfield and Con-
gresham Metcalf for the wise and
untiring efforts they devoted to MAX
ing Yellowtail Dam a reality.
We extend our sympathies to the
peoples of Big Horn, Yellowstone,
Carbon and surrounding counties in
their great loss. We pledge to them
that the Democrats in the Congress,
and in the State, will never cease
their efforts to construct this dam.
But we remind them that they must

laCureS OF the past so tnat 1t no longer
serves the public purpose for which
it was originally enacted. We there
fore urge increased benefits and ex-
tended maximum benefits periods for
the unemployed.
Disqualification provisions have
added additional restrictions upon
the coverage of the Act. We urge
that the disqualification provisions
restricting the coverage of the I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion Act be limited to the greatest
degree. We support system of pay
ment based upon flat-rate payroll
premium consistent with the regular
insurance principles, and we favor
an amendment to the Act to permit
the principle of supplemental unem-
ployment benefit plans.
We condemn as immoral and dis
honest the proposed law that is be-
ing described as Fright to Work"
legislation. Our prosperity in great
measure is due to collective bargain
ing between organized labor and en-
ployers. Montana employers and en-
ployees have learned to work to-
gether, cooperate and respect each
other. 1t is unfortunate that political
extremists would by advocacy of this
anti democratic measure, destroy
what has taken so many years to de-
velop. The misnamed Fright to Work"
proposal attacks one of the elements
of society that we hold most dear
our high standard of living.
The Fright to Work" laws are re-
vealed as a state government in
fringement upon the right to en-
ployers and unions to bargain col
lectively. Such laws restrict collective
bargaining. They try to undermine
the development of free trade unions.
They aim at low wages and poor
working conditions that affect bust
nessmen, farmers and professional
people, as well as wage and salary
earners. The very title Fright to
Work" is fraudulent. These laws
give no one the Fright to Work..
We urge that those contractors who
deal with public corporations and in
should not be permitted to
operate on substandard labor scales
in this State. To that end we support
an adequate and enforceable Public
Contracts Act which will require any
employer of labor paid for by public
funds to maintain employment stand
ards at least as high as those nego- |
tiated with private industry by the
processes of collective bargaining
and to furnish evidence of response
oility before undertaking such work.
We further support the principle that
public contracts should be let by bid
and that sub-contractors, if any,
should be required to meet the legal
and conditions of the
Public Contracts Act.

REA-Public Power

| plishments resulting from the REA
partnership between farmer coop
eratives, public power districts and

rural people in the past twenty years.
We pledge support in obtaining

electric and telephone programs as
we'll as administrative funds suffi-
cient to enable REA to promote these
programs, provide technical assist
ance and get the money loaned where
it is needed without forcing REA CO.

er companies.
We pledge ourselves to force aban-
Comment of the Eisenhower power
policy of give-aways and do-nothings.
We pledge a return to the develop
ment of our water resources in line
with federal policy dating back fifty
years to the administration of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt and which
guarantees that the peoples resources
should belong to and be enjoyed by
the people.
We condemn the Presidents veto
of the bill to purchase the damsite
for the Yellowtail dam as a subter-
fuge aimed at depriving Montana of
this vitally needed facility. We charge
the Republican congressman from the
second district with breaking faith
with his constituents in this matter.
We oppose any increase of interest
rates on REA loans.
Private power companies are in
clined to refuse adequate electric
energy to REA users. There is
pressing need for adequate legisla-
ton to provide needed transmission
lines to REA users. The continuance
of the preference clause for public
power is imperative.
We call for immediate Federal con-

ant supply of low-cost electricity to

dominated so-called "review" of the

vigor to the nations small businesses
as we'll as keep these as part of this
nations flexible economy.
Our small businesses need new
avenues of financing and especially
tax consideration, at least On the
same grounds as that already given
the larger corporations.
We believe government custodian
ship of public lands and natural re-
sources is custodianship in the pub
lie interest.
We believe in the principle of
multiple purpose use of the land and
water resources of our river basins,
with special emphasis on protection
of our watersheds for domestic, agri-
cultural, recreational and industrial
purposes. We will continue to oppose
vigorously the attempts of special
interest groups to exploit and monop-
olize such natural resources to the
detriment of this multiple-use prin-
ciple. We will continue to work for
sound, progressive and comprehen-
sive management and development
of the land and water resources of our
State and Nation in order to get the
maximum flood control, irrigation and
reclamation, power, forest produc-
ton, grazing, fish and wild life con-
servation and recreation.
Tho &c
facilities in our national parks and
forests has seriously impaired the
public enjoyment of these national
Fairgrounds. We pledge improvement
of roads, buildings nd utilities in
State and National Parks and an ac-
ton program for development of the
recreational opportunities in the ma
tional forests.
We encourage the exploration and
promotion of Montana's great oil and
resources and pledge that
these shall also be developed for the
maximum benefit of all the people
under sound principles of conserva-
ton.
We support the multiple-use prin-
ciple in the administration of our ma
tional forests, with due consideration
to watershed protection, timber pro-
lection, timber production, public
recreation, fish and wildlife and
values, and grazing where
consistent with other uses.
We support the widest public use
Of fish and wildlife resources for
purposes consistent with
principles. We oppose
he diversion of sportsmen's funds |
,or purposes other than the restora-
ion and wise management of these
resources in the public interest.
We support the administration of
public lands for maximum use con-
istent with range conservation and |
encourage private and public pro-
grams in soil conservation and water
he'd protection.
We favor development of mineral
'esources in the public lands by pri-
rate enterprises consistent with other
,hases of the public interest in such
ands.
Recognizing that utilization of the

esouces in all Eastern Montana
would add UNNECESSARILY to our state

Expand programs for agricultural

Such a program should include: A

In time of deepening recession on

ton also has begun to remodel the
Farmers Home Administration from
a lending agency into a collection
agency. We pledge ourselves to make
the Farmers Home Administration
once again a source of the credit

war veterans who have gone onto the

Labor

The Democratic Party is cognizant
of the fact that the real wealth of
Montana is dependent directly upon
the productive skill of those who
toll. To tbs end we reaffirm our his
toric position as the party of the
workingman and farmer.
The State Department of Labor
and Industry was created as a sepa-
rate constitutional department of gov
eminent. Since nothing substantial
has been done to render effective the
will of the people in creating this
Department, we propose that all
boards, bureaus and divisions of state
government dealing with labor and
industry be consolidated under the
State Department of Labor and In
dustry and that this department be
adequately financed and staffed.
We urge that a general wage earn
er's lien law be enacted.
We urge strict enforcement of laws
eliminating the possibility of the free
wage Garner being compelled to COM
pete with the product Of convict
labor and the product of any other
forced and unpaid labor.
We urge passage of reasonable and
enforceable child labor laws to pro-
tect the children of Montana from
exploitation.
We support the establishment of a
minimum wage law consistent with
decency and health in these days of
rising costs, to protect the workmen
and fair-minded employers from I'M
fair competition.
We favor enactment of law guar
all workers the right to or
ganize and bargain collectively and
setting up machinery for certifying
agents for employees in
excluded from the
Jurisdiction of the National Labor
Relations Act.
We favor guaranteed time off for
workers for voting in all state and
federal elections with such time to
be paid for by employers in all cases
where established voting hours con-
flict with workers employment.
The Montana WorRmen's Compen
