ST. Million
Being Refunded
By FUCE

ST. PAUL - Beginning Tuesday
October 1, the Farmers Union Cen
trail Exchange started a stock re-
tirement of SIT million to farm sup
ply co-ops throughout the Northwest,
General Manager Thomas H. Steichen
has announced. Many of these local
co-ops, he said, will pass their refunds
on to their farmer-owners, and "this
will help combat the higher cost of
living and steady decline in farm in
come"
The decision to make the stock
refund was made at recent meeting
of the board of directors of the re-
gional wholesale coop presided over
by President Leo Doheny of Brady,
Montana.
This is the 18th consecutive year
in which patronage refund stock has
been retired for cash, Steichen said
in announcing the refunding program.
The total stock retired to date, he
said, is $11,300,000.
The latest stock retirement will
stock which the Central Exchange has
issued through the year 1948.
Checks started going out to local
farmer-owned co-operatives on Oct.
1. The stock retired represents one
half of the savings on purchases of
commodities by the affiliated coop
erative for 1948. The first half was
retired last year.
1t becomes part of the earnings of
the local cooperative and is shared
with farmers in year-end patronage
distribution.
The Central Exchange, as the re-
gional cooperative supplier of farm
ers' local co-ops, is in a sound finan-
cial condition because of the increas-
ing cooperation of farmers in buying
their supplies comparatively, Mr..
Steichen said.

organized under the constitution of
the AFL-CIO. First Montana group
to take such action was Flathead

Kalispell.
Most of the officers of the former
ly Independent Cascade trades coun-
Gil were retained by the delegates
to serve until the latter part of Jan
uary when permanent officers will
be elected.
Mrs. Mary Nader was renamed pres
ident; Edgar Linn, vice president;
John Evanko, secretary; James Muir
ray, treasurer; Walter Davidson, SER

James Leary, Butte, a regional rep
resentative of the AFL-CIO, presided
at the meeting attended by about 70
delegates representing 26 unions, all
affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Not
represented was the Mine, Mill and
Smeltermen's Union, currently out
side the combined central labor or
ganization.
Leary expressed hope that in the
not too distant future the Mine-Mill

quirements and come under the cen
tral labor organization.
The council voted to provide for
delegate representation in the organi-
zation of the Women's Union Labor

with labor, but unless the labor move

Carpenters they must realize what

DELEGATION COMMENDED

Montana's Demo congressional del

egation from any state north of the
Mason-Dixon line-was praised for
work well done in the first session
of the 85th Congress. Said party
leaders: "We commend the excellent
services rendered the people of Mon
tana by our congressional delegates,
Senators James E. Murray and Mike
Mansfield and Representatives Lee
Metcalf and Leroy Anderson. Our
solid delegation at Washington has
worked continuously in behalf of
measures benefitting Montana, and
in the present crisis of unemployment
involving large segments of our popu-
lation, has taken the lead in spite of
opposition by the national Republican
administration, in seeking workable
remedies to relieve the desperate con-

needs more cheap hydro-electric
power to help its industrial develop
ment and Paradise is one of the
best sites for this development.
Paradise will attract new industry
to provide year-round payrolls for
Montana people"
GOVERNOR BLASTED
Intellectual leadership by Governor
Aronson to the detriment of the state
was also given special attention at
the Saturday meeting. Said the DEM
ocrats: owe deplore the continued
lack of leadership on the part of
Governor Aronson, exemplified espec-
tally by his failure at the recent legis-
lative session to propose needed
sources of revenue to meet the ex-
cessive budgets presented by his de-
partment heads or to support or op-
pose revenue suggestions by the Leg
islature or the Governors own board
of equalization, highway commission
and highway advisory committee"
This lack of leadership is now
expressed in administrative ineffi-
cheney, a necessary corollary to ex-
tended absenteeism from Helena
by the Governor.
''In particular" they said, "we call
to one matter or paramount
to all our citizens-name-
ly the failure to get the federal inter
state highway program off the
ground, and the continuing excessive
costs of highway maintenance in Mon
tana."

NEWARK. N. j., Nov. 6 up.
Democratic Gov. Robert B.
Meyner's national political
stock hit a new high today
after his resounding re-elec-
ton victory over a Republican
candidate who ran with Presi-
dent Eisenhower's full backing.
With 4,156 of New Jerseys
4,219 districts reported in yes

led State Senator Malcolm S.
Forbes, 1,081 .563 to 79,459.
Gov. Meyner received about
SIS per cent of the vote and Mr..
Forbes about As per cent.
Gov. Meyner's heavy plural

State was sure to add to his
stature as a possible Demo-

news conference last week
failed to transfer the 100000
vote plurality the President
racked UP in New Jersey last
year.
Gov. Meyner, who pitched

to Republicans and independ-
ents. managed to carry several
G. o. P. bastions.
The Governor himself said
he campaigned solely on State
issues. adding Whatever out
side political significance New
Jerseys verdict may be deemed
to have, I leave entirely to
others"
Gov. Meyner noted that his
campaign was conducted only
by himself and fellow New Jer-
seyans. Several of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's top aides, including
Vice President Nixon. stumped
the State for Mr.. Forbes.
Mr.. Forbes, too. said only
State issues were involved in
the campaign when he spoke
to disappointed party workers
at his hotel headquarters here.

chairman of the House IN
American Activities Committee
brought him another defeat.
The following year-l947-he
was elected to the State Senate.
In 1851, he lost this job.
When, in 1858. he was NOM
mated as the Democratic can
didate for Governor, the smart
money was all against him. But
he won by a smashing 100000
plurality over Republican Paul

He was aided somewhat by a
factional split in the enemy
camp, and runners of scandals
laid to long-entrenched Repub-
lican Office holders. These broke
after Gov. Meyner took Office.
Called Maneuverable
The new Governor stood up
cheerily to the challenge of a
Republican Legislature. On
several occasions, he outma-
neuvered them. There was. for
example, the time the Repub-
licans were about to put
through a school tax\ bill of
which he disapproved. BY the
simple device of calling the
Democratic minority into his
Office and keeping them there
for consultation" for some
hours, he prevented the meas
ure from coming to vote and
eventually won the compromise
he sought.
He also stood against the
prevailing tides of Mccarthy
ism. He fatty refused to with
draw the nomination of a re-
tired superior court judge to
the Board of Governors at Rut-
gers. The Judiciary Committee
of the State Senate opposed
the appointment because Of
the judges views on professors
who took the Fifth Amend
ment. The Governor refused to
bulge.
Gov. Meyner legalized bingo
and other raffies for welfare
organizations, and expanded
New Jerseys road system.
Among political reporters
who watch him work he is
counted as a shrewd, eminently
practical politician, no crusa-
der, but impressively stubborn
when his mind is made up,
Also he knows how to COM
promise.
Although he declared that
the State Lew Enforcement
Council was superfiuous, he
agreed to its continuation when
it became evident that popular
opinion was in favor of it
Again. in the face of ex-
pressed disapproval from the

Gov. Meyner ran on his rec

One national issue which was
brought into the campaign was
the integration question. Mr.
