Issues Split
Precincts
In Primary
BY Joan j. Stern
Garden 1887

Despite difficulties in calling
precinct meetings, heavy SEIZED
ule of "Kaffee-Klatches" is under
way on both sides of Viers Mill
Road.
Formal precinct meetings are
becoming almost impossible to
call in these precincts divided
among themselves, at least for
the duration of the primary cam
paign.
Officials in the precincts are
hurting charges of foul play" at
one another as the battle of the
United Democrats versus the
Democrats for SO heats up in
both precincts.
Twinbrook Democrats seems to
be split down the middle with
strong support for each ticket in
both precincts.
One meeting called in Al by
caucus supporter Art Garel was
ultimately cancelled when the
question was raised whether he
as precinct treasurer could call
meeting, normally the function
of a precinct leader.
Precinct leader Mary Curling is
backing the United Democrats,
without use of precinct records
which remain in the hands of
Democrats for SO supporters.
In DC, treasurer Jim Krieter
claims he was never informed of
a meeting which took place. Kriet.

Democrats for SO, while precinct

State AFL-CIO Had
Busy Year

President TIMBER, in making his
annual report, stated that the past
year has been an exceptionally busy
one, particularly the last three
months since the "right-to-work'
drive got underway. During the year
he said, his office had drafted and
presented to the State Board of Pris-
on Commissioners a comprehensive
apprenticeship rehabilitation pro-
gram, that he had served on many
state advisory committees, chaired
the annual Montana Farmer-Labor
Institute, spoke before various col
lege, civic, farm and other groups.
He also reported that number of
local unions had affiliated or reaffili-
ated with the state central body; that
the prospects were good large num-
Der would take similar action in the
IL months ahead.
TIMBER outlined the reactivation of
the AFL-CIO's Montana Labor Ad-
visory Committee to fight "right-to-
work., and also the formation of the
Montana United Labor Council, COM
posed of AFL-CIO, the Teamsters
Joint Council, Railroad Brotherhoods,
AFL-CIO locals and
Montana Mine-Mill, and stated that
formation of MULC had the blessing
of AFL-CIO national headquarters.
One particularly important fight
engaged in by all sections of Mon
tana labor, in cooperation with
Montana Farmers u n i n, he
pointed out, was the successful eff
fort before the Railroad & Public
Service Commission to secure a de-
nial of a % to 5S per cent increase
in rates sought by the telephone
company. This was done through
the labor-farmer Utility Users Pro-
test League which hired nationally
noted utility rate expert DIR. Lau-
renee knappen to come to Mon
tana and give expert testimony for
the UUPL before the commission.

'Right-to-work,' he said, SIS
the right to insecurity, the right to
work for lower wages. 'Right-to-
workers are the same people who
tax, the same people responsible
for insertion of Section lab in
the Taft-Hartley Act" which per-
mits states to enact such 1egisla-
tion, the Attorney General insisted.
Pledging his full support to labor
in this hour of adversely, Anderson
said he twill unstintingly oppose the
measure all the way. The mere
thought of having to enforce such a
law, as the states chief law enforce
ment officer, he said, is extremely
distasteful".
"Meet this attack with united
'front.'" he urged, and be assured of
his "whole-hearted support all the
way in meeting this challenge.
To emerge triumphant, he insisted,
labor must get it's members regis
tered, must inform them of the is
sues, must get them to the polls on
election day. "There is no magic for
mula, just hard work." he said.
On the brighter side, Anderson
stated that "labor is coming of age"
in accepting it's social, economic and
political responsibilities. In substan-
tiation, he referred briefly to Mon
tana labor's program for prisoner re-
habilitation, how labor in recent
years has increasingly worked for
legislation for the benefit of all the
people, and how only so recently as
June in California, labor gave proof
beyond contradiction of its maturing
The shellacking Sen.

is dramatic proof of the

ganize, inform and get it's rank-and-
file to the polls in the best interests

his unemployment benefits would be
able to take advantage of the pro.
gram recently passed by Congress.
Leary told an enthusiastic audi
ence, 1--WE do not ask for any special
favors, but the mood of labor is we
are not going to sit idly by and let
them tear us to pieces without get
ting it to the members and the peo-
pie of our country. He said we
have to work out someway to re-
educate our members we have
gotten little complacent-organ-
lied labor does not know how they
got social security and the many ben
efits they enjoy today.
In making his plea to the Gov
ernor, who was sitting behind him
on the platform, Leary said, "What
in hell is the hungry miner going to
do between now and November?"
He said, "You can't tell me he isn't
going to be just as hungry in June
as he will be in Novemberp'
He urged political action within
the labor movement and said, "We
are in period of history when they
better forget their slogans like clean
as hounds tooth and do something
for the people of this country. Leary
said labor has no friend as far as
The National Labor Relations Board

Administration, and "unless we elect
favorable people to represent us in

Legislature Blamed For
State Financial Crisis

Governor Aronson made reference
to number of state problems and
issues without being specific, but he
told labor delegates that there would
be "hard decisions made at the con-
vention that will advance or set
back our Treasure State, and that
labor had ''vital role and duty as
well'.
He spoke of the necessity to have
the facts and said that "any high
school student should be able to
give you the answer on who has the
power to tax and spend in Montana,
and added, ''it is the legislature .
do not be fooled.
Aronson told the delegates, "Be
well informed about state govern
ment, look at both sides and make
your own judgment. Apathy is never
solution to problem.
He said it is not enough to register
and vote but "you must be informed
and let elected officials know how
you feel'.
Aronson said our system of gov
ernment is ''the only system ever de-
vised that has ever allowed the work.
ing man and woman to rise above
the station to which they were born."

UCC Reserve Fund Dropping

Chadwick Smith, chairman Unem-
ployment Compensation Commission,
said that between June 1, 1857 and
May 81, 1868, the UCC reserve fund
had decreased about seven million
dollars, rom $44, ,045,O 900 to $37,O59,-
900. This 12-month period, he. said,
was the first time the reserve fund
has dropped on year-toyear basis.
Smith said higher unemployment
had been a factor in this decline, but
he placed particular emphasis on the
drain marginal workers have been
against the fund because of "liberali-
zation' of the law by the 1857 Leg
islature.
Smith spoke at length on the
additional federal jobless assist
ance recently made possible to ex-
tend compensation another IL
weeks. The impression was gained
by his audience that, in spite of
the UCC's advisory committee rec
ommendation that such assistance
be made available Immediately, he
thought the state should hold off
putting the program into effect
until later in the year. (See COM
ments by James Leary, and reso-
luton on matter, elsewhere in this

Urges Publicising of
'R-to-W" Supporters

Charles Smith, Boise, director Re-
gion Xxx, AFL-CIO, urged labor to
"publicize those who are sponsoring
this so-called 'right-to-work' legisla-
tion They're out to get us. Our
backs are against the wall. We've
got to go all out to have ourselves.
By effective action,' he said, "we'll
make Christians out of 'em :"
Smith stated that one of the short
comings of many unions is the lack of
an educational program for new MEM
bers. Citing the apprenticeship
labor education program of the In
ternational Typographical Uni o n
(Printers) as a standout example,
Smith said that "as with new citi-
zens, we of labor, too, should insist
on our new members learning about
the history of their particular inter-
national Union, and of the trade un-
ion movement generally" as to the
conditions that brought about the or
ganizing of individual workers into
unions and why it is vitally essential
that unions maintain their collective
strength in our highly-organized So
ciety.

AFL-CIO Will
Seek Little
'WagnerAet'

One of the most important ac-
tiOns taken by last weeks second
annual Montana State AFL-CIO con-
vention is an instruction to it ex-
ecutive officers to seek approval of
a little Wagner Act" by the cleo
torate as a major bulwark against
repeated drives by some business
circles to destroy the states organ
lied labor movement through So
called ''right-to-work" legislation.
Resolution No. 1 of the conven-
ton, points out that in states with
such compulsory open shop laws the
working mans ability to collectively
bargain is materially weakened ''to
the detriment of himself, business
men, farmers, and other segments of
the population"
'The most effective way to stop
these biennial efforts to destroy
union security in Montana" the
convention resolved, ''is to pass leg
islation guaranteeing workers the
right to organize and bargain col
lectively,"
Contemplated under such legisla-
tion would be guarantee to labor
organizations the right of collective
bargaining between employers and
of their employees;
guarantee the free choice by a ma
jority of employees of a collective
agent, and guarantee the
right to collective bargaining con-
tracts providing that employees may
be required to join union as con-
dition of employment
