Anti "Scab" Committee Named =.
Printers State Conference To
Fight Union-Busting initiative

Principal speakers at the annual
convention banquet Saturday night
were Walter Marvick, Bremerton,
Washington, international representa-
tive, and Democratic gubernatorial
nominee Arnold Olsen.
Marvick outlined the progress be-
ing made in new photo printing pro-
cesses and the international Typo
graphical Unions steps to train union
printers in the new printing develop
ments. The ITU, Marvick said, has
a photo process training school in
operation at ITU headquarters in
Indianapolis. Also, in the northwest
region, the Seattle local has a similar
school, and Spokane will soon open
a photo process school. The ITU in
vites union members and employers
alike to visit the Indianapolis school
whenever they are in that city.
Attorney General Olsen spoke out
strongly on how unfair mis-named
"right-to-work" legislation is to the
wage Garner; how it has had dis
astrous economic effects in states
which have enacted such "open shop"
laws, and how similar depressing con-
ditions will result for wage Garner
and businessman alike if Montana
people should be misled into sane
tioning enactment of such a law.

Rev. Joseph Muekin
Rules In Favor of
Operating Engineers

KALISPELL-Local 371 of the In
ternational Union of Operating En-
gineers is not bound by contrac
negotiated between Montana genera
contractors and three other Montana
locals of the union, according to ar
arbitration decision handed down last
week.
The decision was reached by Rev.
Joe Mackin, Helena, Carroll College
economics professor who served as
chairman and public member of a
three-man arbitration panel. Other
panel members were Joe Crosswhite,
business representative of Local 371,
Kalispell, and Steve Birch of Birch
& Son Construction Co., Great Falls,
representing Montana General Con-
tractors.
The decision in favor of Local 371
by Rev. Mackin means that the local
union and the contractors will begin
negotiations on a separate contract
Immediately. Prior to the arbitration
panel having been set up members
of Local 371 went out on strike for
several days throughout western Mon
tana, early in May, in protest over
being bound by t h agreement
reached between the contractors and
the other three Montana locals of
TUOE. The strike slowed or closed
down highway construction and build
ing of Noxon Rapids Dam, among ma
jor construction projects in the west
ern part of the state.

Farmers Union President Condemns Initiative .
R-w Measure Has Only One
PUrpose--To Destroy Unions

Industrial Relations, Butte, wrote that
'The campaign for the so-called right
to work law in Montana is clearly op-
posed to Christian principles con-
cerning the interests of labor and
management.
'It is in the interest of social
justice that this right to work sub
terfuge is understood for what it
is" Father Mackin continued. "In
effect, such legislation destroys
unionism, and promotes strife and
discomfort by outlawing gains which
labor has rightfully won. The right
to work law in reality is the right
to stand alone against overwhelm-
ing Odds"
Chapman said Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish leaders, labor and farm
spokesmen, and statesmen of both
major parties in all parts of the ma
tion are on record in opposition to
fright to work" laws. He pointed ont
that James p Mitchell, Secretary of
Labor in the Eisenhower cabinet, has
declared that 81 oppose such laws
categorically."

Montana's organized printers will
go all-out in the fight to defeat the
so-called "right-to-work" proposal be-
ing initiated by the Montana "Right-
To-Work" Association. That was the
decision arrived at last weekend at
the annual convention of Montana
Typographical Conference in Butte.
The convention, largest in the his
tory Of the state association, had
delegates present from IL of the 12
affiliated locals. In addition to the
host local, Butte, delegates were
present from local Printers Unions
in Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, Ana

GREAT FALLS - Opposition of
farmers educators and churchmen to
the current fright to work" campaign
was cited here by d. w. Chapman,
president of Montana Farmers Union.
Initiative petitions are being cir
culated to place a so-called right-to-
work measure on the ballot" Chap
man said. "If such a thing is to be
presented to the people it should be
presented fairly, without a fraudu-
lent title. The law in question has
one purpose only-to destroy unions,
and thus deny working men the right
to bargain collectively for decent
wages and conditions. To sell such a
bill of goods under the pretense of
protecting a mans right to work is
like selling arsenic labelled as candy"
Chapman declared that "the la
Dor economy and the farm economy
are inseparable. Laws that depress
wages hurt the farmer just as much
as the farm depression is hurting
labor. And whatever destroys pur-
chasing power ultimately destroys
business prosperity"
DR.. r. r. Renne of Bozeman, econ
omist and president of Montana State
College, Joined the opposition with a
warning that Fright to work laws
are bad not only for labor, but for
business and the entire economy.
"In reality" DR.. Renne said, "such
laws can be used to make collective
bargaining ineffective. Without the
strong, well-manager, effective labor
unions to bargain for labor's proper
return with leaders of our large
corporate industrial units, our econ
omy could not operate successfully
because there would be no suitable
means of assuring satisfactory wage
levels and adequate purchasing power
of workers to consume the great out
put of our modern technology and |
The Rev. E. Paul Conine, pastor
Of First Presbyterian church, Billings,
wrote Chapman that "It is my earnest
nope the miscalled right to work
egislation will not be adopted in
Montana. Where such laws are in eff
'ect, wage standards and working
conditions are lowered, and the whole
economy suffers"

of the so-called "right-to-work" ini-
tiative currently being circulated
throughout the state by anti-labor
groups through the ''front" organi-
zation, Montana Right To Work As
sociation. Reports were heard on per
capita income in states having such
"open shop" laws as compared with
Montana and how, if such law were
placed on the books in Montana it
would result in drastically lowered
living standards for wage earners,
Discussion brought out that, for
example: In Utah, a "right-to-work"
state, common labor receives only
$1.25 per hour as compared with
$500 per hour in Helena. Also, that
Montana's per capita income of
$1,710 is more than twice as high as
the 1913 per capita income in "right-
to-work" Mississippi, and almost half
again higher than North Dakota's
$1,223. Delegates reasoned that not
only would enactment of Fright to-
work" law seriously impair the living
standards of Montana wage earners,
but would be disastrous to retail busi-
ness in the state because of the lat

He explained the petition to about 25
interested Young Demos Wednesday

pointed out that no one has the right

He thoroughly explained the func-

The Yorktown Monument in
Virginia is topped by status of

which were knocked off by a
lightning bolt in 1912. Sculptor
Oskar J. w. Hansen recently
completed new, and consider
ably larger and heavier, statue
of Liberty to replace the dam
aged one. But the U. S. Interior
Department, which has jurisdic-
ton over the monument, has re-
portedly been talking about put
ting the new statue away in a
warehouse because it thinks the
base of the monument is not
strong enough to support the
new 'Liberty.'
This reminds me that, without
a moral and spiritual base
strong enough to support it, lib
erty itself goes into storage"
AS Horace Greeley said: Lib
erty cannot be established with
out morality, nor morality with
out faith The principles of
the Bible are the groundwork of
human freedom
Is our Christian faith strong
enough to support the civil lib
erty which can rest on nothing
else?

Too Much Fertilizer Can
Iniure Seeding Corn

Too much fertilizer applied in
the row can injure seeding corn,
especially if the seedbed is dry
at planting time and immediately
thereafter, according to Earl
Jones, Ohio State University eX-
tension agronomist.
The agronomist says tests in
dicate that not more than 60
pounds of actual nitrogen and
potash should be applied in the
row with conventional split boot
type fertilizer applicators.
Jones says the split-boot type
applicator, used on most planters,
was developed for distributing
relatively low rates of fertilizer.
It often places small amounts of
fertilizer over or dangerously
close to the seed.
Most implement companies
now make an improved fertiliz-
er distributor for corn. 1t con-
sists of an additional shoe or
disk opener which puts the fer
tilizer about 2 inches to one side
of the row and slightly below
seed level.
Farmers who do not have this
new applicator on their planters
should keep row application of
nitrogen and potash below 60
pounds to the acre, Jones says.
They may plow down additional
amounts of fertilizer or apply it
as a sidedressing after planting.
Jones recalls that last year
some Ohio farmers experienced
considerable fertilizer damage to
Seeding corn. In some cases en-
tire fields had to be replanted.
Seedbeds generally were dry at
complaining time last year and
remained dry in early June.
Jones says the possibility of fer
tiizer injury is increased consid-
erably in a dry terminating
season.

desire to have such flocks dipped
sometime early in July. If there
are sufficient requests for the
service, Mr.. Hughes will plan a
return trip to Noble county. Re-
quests for this service may be

pauIding Soil Inventory
Survey Is Completed

Ohio's Soil Inventory board,
assigned the task of guiding the
states soil investigation program,
has completed its first county
wide soil inventory survey.
Samuel w. Bone, Ohio State
University extension agronomiSt,
says a team of soil survey techni-
clans has finished work in Pauld-
ing county, making that county
the first in the state to receive
a completed inventory under the
boards program. The Paulding
survey includes three separate
reports. They are available to
farmers, county agents, voca-
tional agriculture instructors, or
others interested in soil data of
the area.
Completion of the inventory
survey, Bone says, makes avail
able on a local level detailed,
comprehensive information on
soil types, descriptions, internal
characteristics, general potentials
for production, slope, erosion, and
other factual data.
Available with the reports are
aerial maps of individual farms.
With these maps and reports
farmers can determine soil types,
characteristics and production
potentials on their own farms.
Soil inventory work now is in
progress, Bone says, in Wood,
Allen, Greene, Clinton, Della
ware, Ross and Ashtabula coun-
ties. Several other counties have
applied to the board for the
service.
The Ohio Soil Inventory board
was established in 1852. It's
membership includes represen-
tatives of the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, the Agricultural
Experiment Station, the Soil
Conservation Service and the
Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources. The inventory survey
work is a cooperative venture in
which all these agencies partici-
pate.

Meat important
For All Aces

Nutritious meat helps fight
colds, according to Irene Metz,
nutritionist for Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at the Ohio State
University.
Studies have shown, she says,
that babies and children who
eat an ample amount of meat
have only half as many colds as
those who do not get enough
meat-and the colds they do
have last only half as long.
People in their upper years do
not have to give up the enjoy
ment of steaks, chops and roasts.
Older folks who have a balanced
diet are healthier, more active,
and alert.
The home economist states
that one of the best ways to gain
weight and build up body tissues
is to eat a lot of meat without
the fat removed. Meat might
even be included in substantial
breakfast, which should provide
one-third of the daily nutritional
requirements.
Meat is a good source of pro-
tein for growth for children and
repair of body tissues for adults
Lean red meats are good REQ
blood builders. In addition, meat
is high in several important E
vitamins. The B vitamins in
meat are necessary for growth
and proper functioning of many
parts of the body, such as the
eyes, heart, and nerves. They aid
in digestion and in keeping the
skin healthy. Aside from its ex.
cellent nutritive values meat
adds enjoyment in flavor anc
satisfaction to our meals.
Meat may be served at every
meal. A plentiful supply is
available to keep people of al
ages healthy. the home econ
mist says.

Your
Election
Laws il.
l. b. Ted w. Brown
Secretary Of stote Of Ohio

We are welcoming a great
number of new voters" to the
polls this year. Consequently, we
would like to call attention to
persons who are now 20 years of
age but who will be 81 before
November 6, 1856, that they may
register now, if they live in an
area in Ohio where registration
is required so that they may
vote at the General Election on
November 6.
The law in Ohio specifically
provides that it is not necessary
that first-voter be 81 on the
date of registration it is only
required that he or she will be
81 before election day. So don't
lose your vote!
Persons who will have been
residents of the state one year
on November 2 may also register
at this time for the General
Election.
Many counties having regis
tration will also open branch Of
fices for the taking of registra-
ton, or will open each polling
place in the county at some time
before registration closes in
order to accommodate persons
who desire to register or to
change their registration. Voters
should watch their newspapers
for the notice of the time such
offices will be open for registra-
ton. In the meantime, however,
persons residing in registration
territory may go to the office OF
their County Board of Elections
and register there. A good rule
is to register now,
