emphasized.
Continuing, Daniels pointed out:
"there's never been a real program
or rehabilitation at the prison. We
must try to reach prisoners and help
them so they'll feel they have more
of a place in our society. We've got
to give the man some idea of his re-
sponsibility to society"
Daniels said that some good has
resulted as an aftermath of
the riots. There's been considerable
increase in the number of guards.
Guard pay has been increased in
order to attract more qualified men.

hired Some of the "beefs' registered

Lucille Speer, Missoula, and first
institute secretary, in summarizing
this years institute, said that 'no
one who took part in the first one
foresaw the possibility that there'd
be IA of them" and that such farmer
labor discussion meetings would be
even more of a necessity in 1857.

In reflecting on the vitality with
which the annual Institutes have be-
come part of the Montana scene,
she said "people with ideas, with
purpose" continue to feel the need
for such affairs, "else they'd have
run out of something to talk about
years ago
This years topics and discussions,
she continued, "have combined imme-
diate problems, such as the prison and
taxes, with philosophical approaches"
to democratic fundamentals. This
combination, she believes, is much
needed.
Her one criticism was that this
years institute failed to have any
discussion devoted to international
problems. In this connection she posed
the question: care we going to ac-
cept a world in which survival is our
one motivation, or are we going to
consider other important things to
living, too?"

Under efficient, competent man

the customers deposit account was
never less than $800,O00. ''This shows
that the company's owners and bond

Rank-and-file lack of interest in
union affairs at the local, district
and international level, plays right
into the hands of those who would
weaken or destroy the labor move
ment, a panel of the Farmer-Labor
Institute at Bozeman last weekend,
devoted to the ''Threat to Labor Or
ganizations'', concluded.
Originally slated to have Victor
Reuther of the United Auto Workers
as panel leader. three Montana union
leaders lead this discussion when
word came the middle of last week
that Reuther would not be able to
attend because of the press of other
business. Substituting were James S.
TIMBER of the State AFL-CIO, J. S.
Turrell, Missoula, chairman, Joint
Legislative Board of Railroad Broth
erhoods; and Ernest Salvas, Butte,
IUMM&SW District No. 1 board
member.
Taking cognizance of the nation
wide drive to secure passage of more
restrictive labor legislation, the panel
and audience reviewed activities of
the Mcclellan committee and the de-
velopment by big business of experts
on anti-labor tactics.
Condemning misleadership in the
labor movement, wherever it may be
found, the discussions brought out the
conclusion that lack of member in
terest in union affairs has been a
principal reason why such self-seek-
ing leadership has been able to gain
dominance in a few major labor un-
ions. Rank-and-file apathy was laid
in large part to the fact that for many
years now, workers have had fulltime
employment and full lunch buckets.
MEMBER EDUCATION NEEDED
To build greater member interest
and to regain control of the demo-
cratic processes which in some in
stances have slipped away from the
members, the panel urged greatly

TAKE WARDEN OUT OF
POLITICS

Viewing the prison from the stand
point of citizen of the Deer Lodge
area who has taken considerable in
terest in the institution over the
years, Rep. Daniels told his audience
that in the last two legislatures he
has attempted without success, to Sc
cure passage of legislation which
would remove the prison warden from
politics. Even though it's been the
rule for at least half century, Dan
iels said that picking "an ex-sheriff
who has done peoman service for his
party" as warden does not consti-
tute sufficient qualifications for ad-
ministering such an institution or
understanding the problems of people
therein.
Pumping for the need for a
trained penologist TO head up the
institution, the legislator stated
that last July's "riot served to PIN
