By VIC REINEMER. of the Office OF

flee of Senator James E. Murray
port of Western Air Lines applica-
ton to serve Phoenix via both Salt
Lake City and Denver.
Approval of this route ''will COM
plete a North-South pattern for air
traffic serving Montana" said SEN
ator Mansfield. Billings will best be
served by the Denver route and Butte
and Helena prefer the Salt Lake City
to Phoenix route. In the instance of
Great Falls, either route would be
convenient and appropriate.
The delegation is following with
keen interest the hearings in the Mon
tana Local Air Service Case in Great
Falls, and will press for improved
intra-state service after the hearing
is completed.
HUMPHREY BACKED DOWN
Last week Senator Mansfield took
to the Senate floor the Montanans'
fight for funds to build decent Gus
toms-immigration stations along the
Canadian border. Senator Robertson,
chairman of the Appropriation SUBJ
committee handling the request, re-
ported how the Treasury Department
originally asked for the funds, which
were cut out by the House, after
which Secretary Humphrey told the
committee "I am ask
ing for no restoration" Robertson as
sured Mansfield that the request will
get further and sympathetic attention
in a subsequent appropriations bill.
Senator Mansfield, in addition to
to these Montana matters,
helping Majority Leader Johnson run
the Senate and attending Foreign Re-
lations and Rules Committee meetings |
was busy last week as one of the |
three members with the Appropria-
tions subcommittee handling State
requests.
AND DELAY
Last week Senator Murray re-
,eived several long-delayed letters
which had been incorrectly sent to
former Congressman James Murray
IF Chicago. Some of the letters had
oeen correctly addressed to Senator
Murray but had nevertheless gone to
Chicago. Former Congressman Muir
'ay had readdressed them to Senator

Unemployment fell by 100000 to
2.7 million, a normal drop for the
month, while state insured unemploy-
ment fell 10000. The improvement
mostly represented further pickup
in outdoor activities and pre-Easter
hiring in trade.
On the other hand new unemploy-
ment among covered workers moved
up during the week ended May 4,
mainly as a result of temporary sea-
sonal layoffs in the apparel textile
and shoe industries in a number of
states. Largest increases in initial
claims occurred in Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, Illinois, California and Michi-
gan.

Another aspect of the cur.

In the final analysis it is
insurance in force which is
the true measure of strength

ample cause for satisfaction

continue to substantiate our
contention that the CFU is
truly a House of Brotherhood.
Quoting only junior statis-
tics we are able to say that
January was a good month.
You, the fraternalists in the
field, wrote up 223 new
youngsters. That is slightly
less than last years January
achievement, but much better
than that of 1855. Many an
organization would be more
than happy with this and
some struggle an entire year
for much less.
We are happy but, unde-
niably, not entirely content.
That is as it should be. It's
a characteristic which per-
vades the entire organiza-
ton and serves as the
spark plug for ever greater
efforts.
We are gratified by the
broad response of our field
workers. The old reliables are
in there pitching again. New
names and faces too are max
ing their appearance, giving
us cause for even greater ex-
pectation in the weeks and

phanie Walter and Thomas
Chulig, both of Detroit, Mich.
The notes we kept also show
that Mrs. Walter served us a
cup of real American coffee
that m morning 6, something
worth it's weight in gold in
Yugoslavia.
Mrs. Walter, a seasoned
overseas traveller, took along
a plentiful supply of instant
Maxwell House coffee and
thus spared at least some of
her friends the horrors" of
imbibing what the local
burghers blandly refer to as
"Zagrebacka kava."
We have gulped some awful
coffee in the States in our
time, but it was as nectar
when we stacked it up against
the sWill they serve you
throughout Yugoslavia.
Moral: - Never leave
America for Yugoslavia
without a supply of coffee.
Nor, we hasten to add,
without kleenex to spare.

Of an estimated total of 817 900
factory workers in the country
earning less than 80 cents an hour
in April, 1854, about $4,000 were
employed in fifteen southern and
border states and the District of
Columbia.
Production workers in manufac-
turing as whole averaged $1.68
an hour, exclusive of premium pay.
An average of $1.36 was recorded
in the South, where about one-fifth
of the factory workers are en-
ployed. Averages for the North
east and Middle West, which to-
gether account for seven-tenths OF
factory employment, were SLOT
and $3.50 an hour, respectively.
These differences in regional
wage levels and in the distribution
of earnings by regions were in

ton Of industry in the several re-
gions.
Durable-goods Industries as a
group had higher wage level than
non-durable goods industries. Ma
tion-wide, the 100000 durable
goods workers averaged $1.78 as
compared with $1.54 for the $751;
900 workers in non-durable goods
plans.
The South was the only region in
which employment in non-durable
goods establishments exceeded that
in durable goods.
About 100000 factory workers,
in the nation, or about 3 per cent
of the total, earned less than 80
cents an hour; $4,000, or about 6
per cent, earned under 80 cents;
$4,000, or about 10 per cent,
were under 81, and 1898 900, or
about % per cent, were under ST.

The proportion OF factory work
ers earning less than 80 cents an
hour was IL per cent in the Far
West, 2.3 per cent in the Middle
West, al per cent in the Northeast
and 2O.2 per cent in the South. At
less than 81, the percentages were
1.8 in the Far West, Al in the
Middle West, 80 in the North east
and 1872 in the South.
1t was against this background
that the new 81 minimum wage
law had its impact in the South
for little more than half of 1856.
