KalispeIl Painters
Swing Brushes To
Aid Small Fry

! KALISPELL-Vol members
, of Kalispell Painters Local 975 do
mated their labor Saturday, April 26,
to do a spring paint job on the Pee
Wee and Babe Ruth league baseball
parks in Kalispell and Evergreen, in
advance preparation for the base
ball season, soon to get underway.
Union committee chairmen Doug
Richardson and Paul Barr were in
charge of the paint crews which eff
ficiently performed the public service
job in an appropriate shade of green.
Preliminary arrangements were made
with league officials by the painters
union business agent, Perry Melton.
Several Kalispell painting contrac-
tors and business firms co-operated
in the project by contributing mate
rials and use of equipment: Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallace BARGE supplied refresh
ments at a morning "coffee break
for the painters who received many
compliments for giving the stands,
dugouts, and fences a spring coat of
green at four baseball parks, all in
one day.
At recent meeting, the Kalispell
Painters Union discussed various
ideas and long-range plans for a gen
eral public relations and educational
program, which is planned to include
participation in community affairs in
several northwest Montana towns
where the union has members. Juris-
dictional territory of the union in
cludes Flathead, Lincoln and Glacier
counties; Glacier National Park, Lake
county south to Roman and the north
ern half of Sanders county.

kearney Wifhdraws From
Silver Bow Legislative Race

Following brother Tom Kearney's
decision to enter the race for Demo-
cratic nomination for Clerk of the
Supreme Court, James Kearney with
drew as legislative candidate for Sill
yer Bow county, according to the
Butte Labor Political League.
Endorsed for Legislature by the
league in place of Kearney is James
Plenty of the Butte Building Trades
Council.
Other candidates endorsed by the
league are: Senator, Frank Reardon
D); House: Reps. Edward Picard,
Jack Healy, Henry Mernin, Ray Way
rynen, and Cal Colman and Maurice
Sunny Powers, all Democrats. On
the Republican side, James Mular has
been endorsed for the House.
In emphasizing the Importance of
voting in the June primary cleo
tion the league points out that "Sil-
yer Bow county is traditionally con-
sidered a Democratic stronghold.
Over the years, and probably this
year, representation from Silver
Bow to the legislature will be prac-
tically determined and finalized in
the primary. We can anticipate that
those Democrats achieving the Dem
ocratic nomination will almost cer-
tainly be assured of election in No
vember."

DEMAND THE COOP LABEL

going and increase his power to last out the
strike
Depending on the plant situation, it may be
profitable for the employer to make it worth
while for certain key workers to stay out of
the union and to strike-break on workers on
strike. The union shop makes it easier for a
majority of union members to prevent minori-
ties of workers from putting their selfish
short term interest ahead of the majority's
interest.
This touches the fundamental fact
about collective bargaining. Collective bar
gaining rests the workers acting together
a unit. That is what the word ''union"
implies. Individual interests must be SUBJ
merged to some degree to obtain the higher
common good
Some may criticize this but before they
dc they should consider the long record of
industrial strife and exploitation of work
ers which preceded the establishment of
collective bargaining.
Individual bargaining inevitably leads to
wage reduction and worsened conditions of
employment There are always a certain num-
Der of employers who will begin to force down
wages. Other employers must meet this COM
petition. This has been demonstrated so re-
peatedly that the principle of collective bar
gaining has been firmly rooted.
The people's voice., 1958-05-02

When the workers IN plant banded to-
gether, however, the situation changed. By
bargaining collectively and by enforcing their
demands with concerted refusals to work,
the workers evened up the balance between the
employer and his work force Faced with such
a threat the employers position was changed
in two respects.
First, he cannot pick off individual workers
by replacing them with those who will work
for less
Second, he is faced with a complete stop
page of work in the plant. Profits cease, yet
overhead costs-rents, taxes, utilities, inter
est and the lke-continue. The employer
loses markets when he can not deliver goods.
Thus he has powerful incentives to make
concessions to his work force.
AS Chief Justice Taft wrote in the case of
American Steel Founderies Co. V. Tri-City
Central Trades Council:
Labor unions were organized out
of the necessities of the situation. A
single employee was helpless in dealing
with an employer. He was dependent
ordinarily on his daily wage for the
maintenance of himself and family. If

nifty, the respect of his fellow citizens and,
most important, the means to live in COM
fort and security with his family
WHAT HAS MADE THE DIFFERENCE?
The spread of compulsory public education,
the spread of more humane attitudes and the
realization that high wage levels are an i'm
portant factor in economic health, have played
their part. But principal credit must be given
to the increasing practice of collective bar
gaining, the cornerstone of our industrial
democracy.
In the early factory towns there tended
to be surplus of labor. In bad times employ
ers could readily force down wages because
there were always those available who had
no jobs who would work for less than those
who had them.
Even in time of labor shortage the en-
ployer's need for labor was rarely as immedi-
ate and pressing as the workers need for
job. The worker had family and pressing
financial needs.
Individual bargaining proved unsatisfac-
tory to the worker, because the employer
could easily wait him out

Delaware Food Market
Report
By Anne H0IbertOn
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware .

Everything seems to be going up
and beef prices are no exception,
but there is relief in sight. Here's
the story that supports the outlook
for a brighter beef picture.
Beef marketing has q seasonal
pattern which usually provides the
lowest supplies of the year in jan
uary and February. Smaller sup
plies always bring higher prices.
The number of cattle shipped to
market begins to increase during
the spring months; April, May and
June During these months the
heaviest supplies of fed beef for
the year should come to market and
thus prices should go down. The
next few months may be the best
time for beef purchases in 1858.
However, YOU can expect to see
most beef prices to stay at rela-
lively high levels for few weeks
yet Careful shopping will be re-
quired to find real values in local
markets. Chuck roast, fresh pic
MICS and ground beef will be among
your better values.

place and to extending the services
of the Hospital.
1857 Projects
Hospital Gift Shop and Cart:
The Gift Shop at the entrance to
the Hospital and the Gift Cart that
is rolled thru the Hospital daily,
supply a basic need in the Hospi-
tai. To operate the Shop and Cart,
a large part of our membership
give freely of their time and ener-
gies. 1t is a rewarding service but
one that deserves the thanks of Us
all. Although its primary purpose
is to supply the needs Of patients
or visitors, it has been so appre-
ciated that il has become a major
source of income for the Auxiliary.
Needless to say, all profit is imme-
diately used to supply Hospital or
Nursing School needs and to fur
ther the efficiency of the Hospital.
Baby Picture Service: This is
another service that is sponsored
by the Auxiliary throughout the
year. Pictures are taken of each
newborn baby and most parents
are delighted to be able to purchase
pictures of their new son or daugh-
ter. Many hours are donated by a
few Of our Auxiliary members. In
addition to the appreciation of the
proud parents, the Auxiliary has
made about $500.00 yearly on this
project.
Candy Sale: Each year the Lions
Club has given the Auxiliary the
privilege of selling candy at their
Minstrel Show. This year our pro-
fits amounted to $4,000.
Fashion Show: Coopersmith's
Store and Derrickson's Mems
Store cOoperated in putting on a
Fashion Show III May to raise
funds for the Auxiliary. A good
part of the Auxiliary worked on
this project either in making ar
rangements, buying or selling
tickets The Auxiliary made $3S9.33
on this joint effort.
Portrait: This year Mrs. Vincent
AckO donated her talents and
painted portrait. This was a most
profitable venture and $4,000 was
turned into our treasury.
Card Parties:' During October a
card party was held at the Nurses
Home with an afternoon and eve

! These were our projects. What
did we do with these funds?
Dishwashing Equipment: The
dishwashing equipment of the Hos
I pital had become completely made
quate The Auxiliary felt it would
be a service in the real spirit of
the Women's Auxiliary to supply
this need. Equipment for washing
and sterilizing dishes to make the
operation of the kitchen more eff
clent, was purchased at a cost of
SO, 3,50000. This tremendous improve
| nent will benefit each patient.
Student Nurse Needs: The Nurs-
ing School has always been a
special interest of the Auxiliary.
This year we purchased $1,000
worth of needed recreation equip
ment At Christmas we purchased
a sewing machine for the use of
all the students. We spent $15713
for this most appreciated gift.

the whole family. The first Satur-
day in Hospital Week, May 10, we
are planning to hold our Hospital

our plans?

of the Auxiliary is carried on by
many devoted and unselfish mem

DelmarUa Increased Price
Edge On BrOiLers
In 1867

(continued from page one)
four-tenths of a cent a pound in
1856 to six-tenths of a cent . pound
in 1857.
Based on the Peninsula's total
marketing of more than 170-mil-
lion broilers last year, this means
that Delmarva growers upped their
price edge over most of the rest of
the nations growers by more than
$1,122,000.
DR.. Mcdaniel noted, though, that
broiler production had stepped up
more sharply for the nation as a
whole than for Delmarva during
the past two years. In 1857, the ma
tion increased it's marketings by
33 per cent over 1855 production.
But Delmarva, in the same period
upped it's marketings only 2S per
cent.
u. S. broiler production increased
much more rapidly than did the ma
tion's human population between
1855 and 1857, DIR. Mcdaniel said.
In 1855, some 100000 Ameri-
cans ate an average of 1891
pounds of broilers per person. By
1857. the 172-million people then
around consumed 18.47 pounds per
person.
Altogether, the u. S. produced
about 1,450-million broilers last
year, DR.. Mcdaniel said. OF this,
Delmarva grew about II per cent
However, Delmarva's more than
170-million chickens last year
weighed in at an average of 3.3
pounds apiece. This was oHe-tenth
OF a pound heavier than the nat
ional average.
