1.-THE policy of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters
with respect to Investigations by
legislative committees, law en-
forcement agencies and other
public bodies has long been and
will continue to be:
Il. Any officer or member OF
our organization shall have the
same right as any other Ameri-
can citizen to invoke the priv
ileges of the Bill of Rights with
out, by such action alone, SUBJ
jecting himself automatically to
trial or disciplinary action by
our union. The action taken
by the Executive Council of the
AFL-CIO with respect to these
matters does not in any way
alter our position.
"2. The charter grant under
which the International Broth
Ierhood operates guarantees us
autonomous rights in the con-
duct of our internal affairs
Those rights we shall continue
to exercise and defend"

council had issued an order to
AFL-CIO international unions to
remove from Office any one who
invokeS the Fifth Amendment on
questions concerning alleged
labor racketeering or corruption.
Two of the codes would set
standards for officials of unions
and those who administer union
health, welfare and retirement
funds. The third was aimed at
eliminating conflicts of interest
and would prohibit officers from
engaging in a business or indus
try in which their unions have
collective bargaining contracts.
The codes were drafted by the
AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Com
Imittee and were designed as the
foundation of a general cleanup
of the labor movement.
The conflict of interest" code
apparently was aimed, as was the
Fifth Amendment order, at the
l .6-million-member Transfers
Union. Some teamsters officers
have been accused of owning
trucking interests in competition
with employers whose workers
the union represents.
Transfers leaders were defiant
after the Executive Council is

The AFL-CIO leaders action
grew out of the hearings on labor
Iracketeering before the Senate
Investigations subcommittee 1C
days ago. Transfers officials re-
fused to answer questions on
grounds the committee lacked
authority to inquire into union
affairs. but they made clear their
position on the Fifth Amend
ment. Officers of a New York
local actually invoked the
amendment.
Policy Not Retroactive

not be put to a test until a

FARMERS PROTEST
INTERSTATE LOCATIONS

"The early construction of the inter-
state system seems in jeopardy be-
cause of objections by farmers,
ranchers and the smaller towns to
the proposed routing. One project
was removed from the recent letting
because ranchers protested routing
the road through the heart of their
irrigated lands instead of on the high
er adjacent grounds.
''The last Legislature passed bill
requiring the highway commission, in
routing roads to give consideration
to the effect of the proposed roads
on the hay lands of ranchers through
which the roads would be constructed.
This entirely reasonable bill was We
toed by the Governor.
''The committee will be inter-
ested in learning what if any, policy
the highway commission has of
minimizing damages to the local
economy and to Montana's farmers
and ranchers in locating the limited
access interstate highway system in
this state.
"The Democratic advisory commit
tee on highways and highway finan-
cling will, | am sure, cooperate closely
with many citizens committees estab-
lished to consider Montana's highway
situation to develop the best possible
program for building and financing
Montana's highway" Erickson said.
Other members of the advisory
committee are: Arnold Olsen, Helena,
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
in 1856; Joe Crosswhite, Columbia
Falls, of the Operating Engineers
Union; Randall Swanberg, Great
Falls attorney; Ole Gunderson, Power,
former member Of the House, and

yious highway fact-finding commit

Mountain Area Labor
School Set For July

Plans were made during the ALL
CIO convention in Atlantic City the
second week in December for the
Annual R ky Mountain Labor
School, according to James S. TIMBER,
Montana president.
This will be the second such school
to be held, and is for delegates from
central and state labor bodies.
Chosen for the site for the July,
1853 meeting was the University of
Colorado, at Boulder.
Last years school was attended
also by foreign exchange students
and labor representatives from such
places as Brazil, Thailand and Paki-
stan.

an inexpensive way to eliminate q
county health hazard.
The line will be owned by the
Trades and Labor Assembly. The line
is metered, and the hill residents are
expected to meet the nominal monthly
charge for water.
Charles Walking Child, as spokes-
man for the people of Hill 81, Sun
day issued statement, thanking the
people of Great Falls for their eff
forts in pushing through the project.
''Hill 81 people want the people
of Graf Falls to know that we are
thankful for everything they have
done for us this year of 1857, es-
pecially for the wood, the food, the
clothing they have donated-and
now the water.
eve are so happy to tell them that
the unions started to dig the pipeline
last Friday. That's the best Christ
mas present Hill 81 has ever had.
eve know this big pipe costs a lot
of money and five of us went down to
help get the pipe to the project.

Great Falls take an interest. One more
thing: We want to wish all the people
of Great Falls Merry Christmas and

istration of the highway department.
A comparison of the cost of main
tenance in Montana with that in Wy
oming and other states would seem
to indicate that our maintenance costs
out of line. The figures show that
Wyoming maintained in the 1861
fiscal year 4,987.5 miles of road for a
total cost of $3,298,851.62, or an
average cost of $661.42 per mile. For
the same period, Montana maintained
5,708 miles at a cost of 1920, 357.89,
or an average of $1,133.40 per mile.
'In other words, it cost $472.00
more per mile for maintenance in
Montana than in Wyoming accord
ing to the official figures of both
highway departments. The reason
for this startling contrast will be
one of the subjects of inquiry of the
advisory committee. All mainte-
nance money comes from Montana
taxpayers. A reduction of mainte-
nance costs would be required to
make up any present deficiency in
matching funds.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE,
Monday. December %

Residents of Hill 81, the Indian
colony on Great Falls northwestern
outskirts. will celebrate Christmas
Eve with unusual enthusiasm-first
for gifts of wood, food and clothing
bestowed upon them by more forum
ate neighbors, but especially for the
simple, but tremendously important
gift of water.
For the first time in the colony's
long history, the Indians of the Hill 81
settlement will have water supply
that is safe and convenient. For years
they have had to haul their water for
drinking. cooking and washing from
a spigot nearly a mile away, and at
a cost of 81 per barrel for the prec-
ious liquid itself.
Tuesday, thanks, to the efforts of
a number of men and women of
good will, including members of
the Cascade Trades and Labor
Assembly, a half-mile pipeline,
bringing city water from the near
est main, will be completed.
LONG, ARDUOUS TASK
Although the need for an adequate
water supply for the hill was recog-
nized at a Christmas party for Indian
children several years ago, the task
of getting the pipeline built has been
a long and arduous one, according to
Mrs. John Nelson Hall, co-ordinator
of the effort. Mrs. Hall is member
of the Great Falls City Council from
the First Ward.
"This effort, carried on by loose
ly-organized group calling themselves
Friends of Hill 81, was spanked by
Sister Providencia of the College of
Great Falls" Mrs. Hall said Sunday.
While members of this group have
contributed food and clothing to the
Indians of Hill 81, they realized that
the prime need was an accessible
supply of pure water.
