Time Asked To Secure
An Expe zt In Rate Case

One witness for the tele-
phone company said his firm
had spent 200 man days pre-
pairing his testimony.
There was no official word
from the Commission as of
press time, but reliable reports
indicate an extension of time
will be granted.
The split hearing procedure that
allows the lapse of time is new in

Rate Protest
Committee
Organized

Utility users representing a broad
base of Montana people met in
Helena Monday night following the
Montana Power Company electric
rate increase hearing and set up
a statewide organization that more
effective opposition to pending util-
ity rate increases may be had.
Named the Utility Users Protest
League, the first purpose of
the new group will be to raise suffi-
cient funds to provide expert testi-
mony in opposition to pending tele-
phone and electricity rate increases
now before the Public Service Com
mission for consideration.
Estimates place the cost of in
creased utility rates to the average
Montana family at approximately
$36 year. In wage earners terms,
the proposed rate increases would
amount to a wage cut of better than
two cents an hour.
Present at the Monday night
meeting included representatives of
consumers groups in Butte, Great
Falls, Anaconda, Missoula, East
Helena, Billings and Helena.
]. S. Turrell, Missoula business
man and chairman of the Joint
Legislative Board of Railroad
Brotherhoods, was elected execu-
tive secretary of UUPL. All utility
users who may wish to assist in
the fight to protect their interests
in these rate cases may, send con-
tributions for same to MIR. Tur-
reli, Box 9O7, Missoula.

that can be verified.
1. The controversy began in the
spring of 1956-not 1855.
2. The plaintiffs in the case do not
contend that the salary schedule
adopted by the Butte school board
is illegal-only the union shop clause
contained in teachers contracts and
the salary discrimination are the
basis for the controversy.

Newspaper reports of the Gov

the usual exaggerated braggadocio

MISSOULA-Reva Walterskirchen
first lady of the Missoula trade
union movement, last Thursday eve
ming was guest of honor at special
called meeting of Missoula Trades
& Labor Assembly at the Labor
Temple.
Mrs. Walterskirchen, after more
than twenty years of conscientious
devotion to the cause of her fellow
man in both Missoula county and
state labor circles, has found it neces-
sary to take it bit easier.
Long a member and inspirational
influence in the central council, and
with more than score of years
service on the board of the state
labor federation, as well as being
active in state council of Hotel &
Restaurant Employees affairs, Reva
achieved for herself a unique and
important role in the continuing
struggle of people to improve their
conditions.
Now, she's dropping all activities
except that of financial secretary of
Local 427 of HR&E, Missoula, and
being a housewife to husband, Bob,
who is longtime active member of
Missoula Sheetmetal Workers Union.
Fittingly enough, at the testimonial
in her honor last Thursday evening,
it was State AFL-CIO President Jim
TIMBER who was asked to keynote the
occasion. Years ago when Jim first
came to Missoula Reva gave him
counsel and assisted him in many
ways in becoming established both
job-wise and in the union movement.
In the years since, when he was presi
dent of the Missoula Trades & Labor
Assembly, later as president of Mon
tana State Council of Carpenters,

Governor Held
Responsible For
Nuf'IGuurdP PAY

Attorney General Forrest H. An
derson told the Board of Examiners
Thursday they had no control over
the payment of claims for the ex-
penses of the National Guard called
to active State duty in connection
with the recent riot at the State Pris-
on and said these claims, eff they
are to be paid, are done so by execu-
tive order of the Governor"
The Attorney General made the
statement in letter to the Examin-
ers in reply to their request for his
opinion on whether that board should
act on claims amounting to SILL
379.67 presented to them for serv-
ices of officers and enlisted men
called into service at the time of the
riot in July.
Anderson said, "When the Nation
al Guard is called into service by the
Governor, claims for such services
should be presented to him., and
concluded, ''In the instant case the
executive order should be directed to
the State Treasurer and the State
Auditor to pay the claims out of any
monies in the General Fund of the
State Treasury.

PRISONS cattle and hogs. Apparently
he has had little time left to inspect
the prison and its inmates. Montana
has just had its first major prison
riot. This riot was clearly caused by
major failures in administration, for
which the Governor as chief execu-
tive is solely responsible, and of
course very large deficiency appro-
priation will face the legislature as
a result of the riot.
RECALLS MANSION FIASCO
'T doubt that the Governor would
cite his handling of the construction
of the Governors Mansion as an ex-
ample of sound business administra-
tion," Erickson noted. 'The 1853
Legislature appropriated $125,000
for the construction of the mansion.
When bids were called for, they
greatly exceeded the $125,OOO so
the 1855 Legislature upped the ap-
preparation to $175,O0O. In addition
the site for the mansion was con-
tributed.
"Bids were called for and again
they were rejected as too high. Bids
were called for the third time and
opened on August 8, 1857, four years
after the first appropriation: The
bids exceeded the money available
by $4,000. The Democratic mem
bers of the Board of Examiners
agreed to elimination of items for
the mansion in order to end the fiasco
but the contract as let leaves out side
walks, driveways, landscaping and
furnishings.
