non-union shop brought added pro-
test this week, with Helena Trades
& Labor Council concurring with
the action taken the previous week
by Helena Printers Local 95.
The trades and labor council, in
a letter to MLBA president, Lyman
Haynes, Bozeman, said it wished

associations failure to have the
REVIEW published under union
conditions"
Continuing, the council through
its secretary, Charles F. Dahl, re-
minded Haynes that members of
Montana organized labor are sub
stantial patrons of your industry
Our dollars are earned under
union conditions, and because of
our collective bargaining power,
we have more money to spend with
members of your association than
we otherwise would have.
"Union contracts, the council
pointed out to Haynes, make for
more prosperity for all segments
of our states economy. The or
ganized printing industry is a sub
stantial employer of union men in
Montana, and the well being of
members of the several crafts en-
ployed therein is of direct and
vital concern to this council.

eff we fail to support our Uni
versity System in Montana. we fail

Der stated.
Historically, TIMBER pointed out.
labor has always supported the cause
of public higher education because
it meant that the children of farmers
and laborers could have an oppor-
tunity for advanced education re-
gardless of financial status.
He said a crisis definitely would
develop in the Montana University
System if the six mill levy should be
defeated, and the System would be
set back for years to come.
"With the $1O,OOO,OOO building
bond issue declared invalid, the Uni
versity System is already in a des-
perate race against time. Financial
support for immediate and near fu-
ture construction needs of the Uni
versity System is critical problem
which the next Legislature cannot
circumvent,' he said.
TIMBER urged all citizens to get
the facts about higher education and
taxation before letting the question
of educational support become a poll
tical football in the problems sur
rounding the sales and property tax
questions.
'It would be unfortunate for our
young people," TIMBER said, eff we
deliberately provoked financial cri-
sis in the University System in order
to force new state tax legislation"
at is to be noted" TIMBER pointed
out, "that an unfavorable vote on
the six mill levy would severely han
dicap the Legislature in dealing with
both education and taxation prob
Iems."
He said citizens should be aware
of the fact that the referendum
gives the Legislature permission
to impose the levy, but it does not
have to do SO if other sources of
revenue are provided by law. He
further stated that passage of the
six mill levy involves no tax in
crease since it is merely a renewal
of an act which has been in effect
since 194S.
In alerting all citizens to the SER
BUSINESS of the situation, TIMBER said
1T is not enough for us to cast af-
irmative votes. We must work hard
o persuade others to do likewise in
he best interests of Montana's fu-
ure"

"A favorable vote on the renewal
of the six mill levy for the support

is absolutely essential" James Um-

state to support the measure which

The international Mine Mill en-
tertained about IS people at lunch
where Senator James E. Murray
and Congressman Leroy Anderson
were the honored guests.
Senator Murray said the full en-
ployment act of 1916 provided a pro-
gram so that it would not be neces-
sary to have periods of depression in
this country, by creating a Council
of Economic Advisors. The job of
this Council was to watch economic
conditions and report to the Presi-
dent, but president Eisenhower is
against the Council of Economic Ad-
visors", Murray said. He added,
when this country is prosperous we
do not need big projects, but that
program could have avoided the con-
ditions that have developed in this
country today.
MUST WAKE UP
Murray also said that Russia is
building great dams and 1--WE have
got to wake up". He said, 1--WE have
got to have a President in Washing
ton who has an understanding of
these things, and Eisenhower hasn't
the health, foundation and experience
for the job he has,.

result of the New Deal that labor
was put on its feet and made the

United States the greatest country
in the world.
Leroy Anderson, eastern district
congressman, said there are attempts
being made to stir up anti-labor
sentiment and that things in the last
Congress on the labor front could
have been much worse.
Anderson told the miners and
smeltermen that Democrats had tried
hard to pass the metals mines bill,
that failure came from the fact the
President nor the Administration
made any attempt to get it passed :.
"that a few telephone calls by the
President or Secretary of Interior
could have passed the bill".
TAFT LAID
GROUNDWORK
Following the luncheon John Clark,
International president of the Mine
Mill, spoke to the delegates telling
them what is happening today to
labor is a branch-off from the time
they passed the Taft-Hartley Act".
He said, "They think the ground is
fertile for the seeds that have been
sown against labor.
Clark pointed to the National
Labor Relations Board which was
set up to protect the rights of
labor, but which in the last an
years has reversed" many deci-
sions in favor of labor.
