Then und Now

Printing followed fast on the
heels of the Montana gold rush in
the early 1905, and it wasn't long
after. the working members of the
craft organized themselves into
union for their own protection and
to better their wage and working
conditions. with the chartering of
Helena ITU Local 95 in 1867. The
union printers of that day were
fierceIy democratic and determined
lot of men and they laid the corner
stone of today's Montana House of
Labor with it's family of approxi-
mately 10000 members.
Union printers today, although
comparatively few in members, are
no less Jealous in protecting and
strengthening the democratic tradi-
tions of their union. They continue
to be the pace settlers in wages and
working conditions among Montana
industrial workers.
Because printers are an indie
pendent and courageous lot, scandal
and mishandling of union affairs
from local to international level
are almost unheard of in the annals
of the 1O5-years young "oldest and
most democratic trade union in
America" a"-the international Typo
graphical Union.

EDITORS NOTE: Rate experts,
because of their very specialized and
exhaustive training, do not come
cheap. It's going to take number
of thousands of dollars to defray the
costs of bringing Knappen to Mon

counsel. Yet, by such action by an
organized protestant group there is
a good fighting chance utility patrons
will save many many times over the
cost of such expert service. If you
haven't mailed a contribution to the

Montana Young Demos Advocate
Consumer Affairs Department

GREAT FALLS-"Creatio of a
federal department of Consumer At
fairs with full cabinet status" was
urged at a conference of state Young
Democratic leaders here last week
end, Harold Gunderson, Cascade
county YD leader, reports.
In requesting the establishment of
a new federal department, the Young
Demos pointed out that ''the nation
lacks a co-ordinated research, fact
finding and responsible watchdog
agency ready at all times to repre-
sent the American consumer"
They also asserted that ''the de-
partments of the federal government
are now organized and oriented as
claimant agencies for the producer,
as against the consumer, so that the
consumer is without effective repre-
sentation in the national govern
ment."
In reviewing the need for con-
sumers having a voice in the cabinet
and national agency to protect their
interests, the Montana Young Demo-
Gratis called attention to the "increas-
ing disparity and spread between con-
sumer prices and the cost of produc-
ing consumer goods and services, such
as the rise in the price of bread and
milk while the farmer receives less
for his produce"
And, they poined to the failure of |
regulation of utility services" to
protect the consumer from increases

recently adjourned First Session of
the 85th Congress and the budget
submitted to Congress by President
Eisenhower for the operation of the
federal government in fiscal year
1858 was reduced nearly S5 billion in
funds appropriated by Congress. Sen.
Mike Mansfield states in reviewing
fiscal activities of the 85th First
Session.
However, estimated federal spend
ing in Montana was increased by an
additional S11,197,134 for fiscal
year 1858. Appropriations totaling
1920, ,9O9,849 have been programmed
for Montana for the 12-month period
which began July L of this year. In
fiscal year 1857 the federal govern
ment spent S2O9,712,715 in Montana.

Q. Do you have any experience reports
on the success of this program in other
states?
A. Summaries of Independent findings were
made in two separate studies of institutional
vocational training programs A special study
made by Davis McEntire, Phi. d., Research
Sociologist, School of Social Walfare, Uni
versity of California Berkeley, California, of
the difference observed between one hundred
parole violators selected at random from
Folsom Prison and one hundred Folsom non
violators selected at random indicated that:
(a) the non-violators made much greater use
of educational opportunities in prison than
did the violators, (b) a significant number of
the non-violators learned trades in prison
which they followed while on parole but not
of the violators did So
Studies made by Robert P Feigen. Correc-
tional Classification Officer ", California In
stitution for Men, of one hundred inmates
selected at random and having acceptable
trade skills acquired in the various vocational
training programs at that institution demon
strated: (a) that the violation rate for voca-
tional trainees of acceptable competency was
approximately one-half the mortality rate for
unframed institutional PAROLES in general,
and, (b) employment in fields related to the
specific vocational training received, approx
mated $3.50 per cent This is comparable to
the placement of trainees of private and pub
lie agencies.
One thing to remember is that there will
be failures on the part of some young men to
respond to this program successfully, but the
percentage of those who successful will
be high and the State of Montana will be
amply repaid for its efforts.
The people's voice., 1957-09-27

How will that operate to make success
full conclusion and what ingredients will
be necessary to carry it out?
A. trainee after release from prison will
be accepted into a union with the consent and
cooperation of local union and will continue
in the apprenticeship, with proper credit for
training received at the institution. The paro-
lee will then be indentured with the local Joint
Apprenticeship Committee, composed equally
of management and labor If he needs tools
OF equipment to follow trade he should be
provided with the minimum tools. Approx
mately three months before parole the ma
chinery would be set in motion to carry out
these last steps of acceptance into a trade
union. the indenture and placement on job.
A successful conclusion will require accept
ance and cooperation by management.
Q. This will require great deal more
than just the acceptance and approval
of state officials and the cooperation
of labor, management and state depart
ments in direct action the program.
just like every man is not farmer, every
man is not a craftsman.
A. The program would require determina-
ton by the proper officials as to the ones that
would be given training. Some things to be
considered in making this determination would
be, the inmates background, his attitude,
aptitude tests, including intelligence, prefer
ence of inmate for certain training and a COM
pete record of inmates training and progress
Q. Is your proposed program the
as that in some other state?
A. No. Programs developed in other states
can be used as guides, but we have to develop
our own program to suit our needs and facili-
ties

of the people would probably come from the
immediate vicinity of the prison. The crafts
men would have to be interested in that kind
of work and would have to have some interest
in teaching because the best craftsmen might
not be the best instructor. These men would
go into the prison. within the walls, on the
farm, wherever the job was going on. On
maintenance and repair there is a great deal
to be done
The work would not necessarily have to be
building construction but could be mainte-

Q. Point number two Jim, classes

and who will conduct these classes?
A. Related instruction is having classroom
instruction directly related to the trade man
would be learning. Stuff you don't get on the
job such as in many instances there is mathe-
matics involved They learn in related instruc-
tion classes why and how to solve particular
situation before using the tools. Glasses in
related instruction would be conducted by
either certified teachers-manual training
and other trades, or qualified craftsmen, or
BOTH preferably each class for a different
trade should have a tradesman and teacher

both qualified craftsman and teacher to
bring practical application to the teaching
Q. After the training, then, and man
is released, you mention job placement

the final analysis will be the true test of
the success failure of the program.

s. The State Parole Board.

tional Probation and Parole Association
After the program has been developed and
ready to go there should be two committees
set up.
One. an advisory council composed Of in
terested citizens on a statewide basis.
Two. a local joint committee composed
equally of labor and management representa-
tives
O. If these agencies to meet for
consideration of Iabor's program what
points do you have to present?
A. The program goes something like this

or more hours per week, and third job place

For all you lovers of soup,
here's a suggestion that might
startle you but will result in
the best soup you ever made.
Add just enough COLD
water to cover meat; add NO
salt or other ingredient. Bring
to a boil and boil only one
minute. Lift meat out OF first
water into another pot Of boil
ing water. with sufficient
water for quantity of soup de-
sired. Proceed with any soup
recipe Never add water to
soup unless you absolutely
must. Begin with all the water
you think you will need. II
you must add water. add boil
ing water only.
This is time saving really
because you don't have to
skim your broth; it's all taken
care of in the initial boiling
stage. as you will see.
