in several instances throughout the
nation in the last few years.)
Rural telephone co-ops are more
Immediately concerned since they
hook into the MST&T system. Rural
telephone patron-owners, already
paying high monthly rates in order
to provide themselves phone service,
see their toll charges jumping con-
siderably if the commission approves
the higher rate schedules being
sought by MST&T.
Under rules adopted by the Public
Service Commission this week. both
rate increase requests will be held
under recess hearing procedure. At
the Tuesday, September 10, hearing
on the MST&T request, the utility
will present its case for higher rates.
The hearing will then be recessed
and date will be set by the COM
mission for resumption at which time
protestants will be permitted to ap-
pear before the commission and pre-
sent evidence in opposition to the
increases. The same procedure will
be followed in the MPCo., rate in
crease request, with the utility pre-
senting its case Monday, September
16. and the protestants coming in
at a later date.
In announcing the rules revision,
Chairman Paul Smith and Commits
sioners Austin Middleton and Dry
j. Armstrong said that "there has
been considerable public interest
shown in both of these applications
for increased rates and charges and
we intend to give everyone an oppor-
tunity to present evidence and testi-
mony in these matters.
''The type of evidence in these
rate hearings" the commission con-
tinued, sis of highly complicated
and technical nature and it is neces-
sary to allow sufficient time to study
the various exhibits and other data
that will be introduced. We feel that
this split hearing procedure will give
both the commission and those parties
protesting the applications a better
opportunity to study the evidence
presented by both utilities"

Facts Behind Butte--

fore. organizations aside, she was
not a professionally trained teacher
by today's criteria. Further there
is nothing which would have pre-
vented her from belonging to both
organizations.
The eight women teachers who are
suing the Butte School Board and
the Butte Teachers Union are vet
eran employees of the district. They
have between twenty and forty years
of teaching service each in the Butte
schools. Their age range is from
forty-nine to sixty plus. In fact it
was quite a jolt to pick up the
journal of the MEA last fall and read
that one of the eight had just taken
out life membership in the MEA.
This lady has been hired to teach
in Butte in 1917. 1t occurred to some
readers that if she were teaching in
Helena. that MEA stronghold, she
would have to retire very soon for
despite the fact that under Montana
law a teacher can teach until he or
she is seventy, any teacher who
teaches in Helena agrees to retire at
sixty-five. In Butte the law is lived
up to. Incidentally there are no merit
rating hassles in Butte. Every teach
er is on his or her right place on the
scale. The Union does not counte-
nance discrimination through merit
rating or age.
The action of these eight teachers
is unjustified and could do great

Helena Typographical Local 95 to-
day.
The minutes also substantiate ITU
claims that that international union
and its locals have long tradition
of being the most democratic union
in America. Early-day members of
Local 95 were, to say the least, out
spoken, and, if they didn't like the
way their officers were conducting
the business of the union they'd
either fine them or remove them
from office.
Another interesting point CLEANED
from the unions early-day minutes
concerned the setting of wages. Un-
like today, when wages and working
conditions are arrived at by collective
bargaining, in those days the print
ers, in meeting assembled, would de-
eide what they felt was a fair wage
scale and that was it. These wage
scale discussions, contrary to any
assumption the reader might draw,
were not all one way by any means.
They were the subject of consider
able discussion and intra-union con-
5roversy and as a rule, when finally

The power trusts big club which has been effective

rural eectrifcaton co-operatives, according to the
National Farmers Union
The pattern has fully developed into four-prong
attack the co-operatives, said Angus Mcdonald,
co-ordinator of legislative services for the NFU.
summary of these follows:
1. Cessation of the building of power projects,
and strangulation of the flow of power existing
projects to the co-operatives. This has been
pished by turning undeveloped stes such

slowing down construction of authorized projects and
by juggling the ALLEGATION formula to the detrment
of the co-operatives.

After three years of incessant

atomic power program.
The House and Senate on August
% accepted a conference report on
appropriations, implementing a 352-
million dollar atomic power construc-

into law by President Eisenhower
after see-saw battle in Congress. A
federal atomic power program has

for nearly four years.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(AFL-CIO)
The big refinancing operation Of
the Treasury Department last month
will add $250,000,00O a year to the
interest charges on the national debt,
according to Under Secretary of the
Treasury Randolph Burgess. He also
conceded before the Senate Finance
Committee that the annual interest
on Uncle Sans debt had increased
$1,350, 900, 0,000-some % per cent
during the first four and one half
years of the "businessman's admins
tration" of President Eisenhower,
which must be paid by the taxpayers
to the money lenders.
Burgess said that "this is one of
the costs to the American taxpayers

is the primary bulwark against the

Back in Montana territorial days,
too, Helena Local 95 was meeting
with territorial legislative commit
tees insisting that all public printing
should be done within the territory.
The local was also active in pushing
the all-but-forgotten silver-producing
states demand for free coinage of
silver. And, even then, the Printers
(whose present day counterparts
have never elected to come under
the Taft-Hartley National Labor Re-
lations Board) were vigorously pro-

Every account of the case, pub
lished in the Butte papers, terms the
eight as non-union. This is certainly
not the case. They are eX-members
of the Butte Teachers Union. The
majority of the eight were members
of the Butte Teachers Union from
1886 to 1854, a period of eighteen
years. When they were initiated into
the Union, they stood, placed their
right hands over their hearts, and
under oath, promised not to harm
the Union nor any member of the
Union and not to give aid and COM
fort to the enemies of the Union.
Therefore these women are hardly
non-union. They are eX-union mem
bers, now anti-union, and surely they
have forgotten the oath which once
they took for they are playing into
the hands of those forces which
would undo the gains made in the
long struggle of working people to
their working conditions
in dignity and to have a voice in
their own destiny. Should victory be
theirs, the groundwork will be laid
not to have any union contracts with
workers in the state of Montana.
Now, too, a check of the history
of the Butte Teachers Union would
show that a number of these eight
served on union committees. One is
a former legislative chairman and
was the toastmistress at a Union
banquet.
In Butte some people, of anti-union
persuasion, have made the implica- |
ion that the National Education As
;ociation and its state branch, the
Montana Education Association, are
professional organizations while the
American Federation of Teachers
md its affiliate, the Butte Teachers
Union, are not. That position does

ing irrevocably given away to pri
vate interests for commercial ex
ploitation. Nonetheless, commercial
power companies were given a priorit!
to develop atomic power over the
protests of rural electric leaders
During the past three years, the
power companies have made little
progress, and America has faller
behind England's and Russia's atomic
power development.
Under provisions of language
authorizing federal atomic power
construction, Acc would build the
reactors proposed by three rural
electric systems, contracting di-
rectly with the manufacturer. Acc
is authorized to spend $4s, s,237, 900,
including IL million dollars for
post-construction operating ex-
penses of the reactors originally
proposed by Rural Coop Power
Association at Elk River, Mime
sofa; Wolverine Electric Coop at
Big Rapids, Michigan; and Chu-
gach Electric Association at Anch-
orage, Alaska. The city of Piqua
Ohio and Consumer Public Power
Omaha, Nebraska, were also in
cluded in the authorization and
appropriation bills.
The three rural electric co-ops
must furnish the sites and the con-
ventional facilities for the atomic
power plants. Acc will contract for
the construction of the atomic re-
actors, lease the facilities to the CO.
ops, and sell them steam from the
reactor as fuel for the conventional
generating facilities.
The federal atomic power pro-
gram also includes $25 million dol
ars for construction of an expert
mental reactor at Hanford, Wash
ngton, Acc facilities, and So mil
ion dollars for engineering for a
$40 million atomic power plant SINH
ar to Britain's Calder Hall model

The controversial Power Reactor
Development Corporations fast
breeder reactor at Monroe, Michi-
gan, was denied federal funds. The
bill did provide for SIS million
for experimenting with fast breed
er reactors, but did not ear-mark
the money for the PRDC proposal.
Rural electric leaders anticipate
tonic power as vast, new and ulti-
nately low-cost source of power sup
ly to satisfy rapidly increasing de-
hands for electricity. According to
JRECA surveys, rural electric sys-
ems loads are doubling about every
