Steel Wa|kout
Slated Tonight;
TaIksContinue
Neither Side Holds
Hope Of Accord
Before DeudIine

NEW YORK. July IA (AP)-
A steel strike at midnight to-
night appeared inevitable as
union and industry negotiators
today went through the mo-
tons Of fruitless laSt-minute
bargaining sessions.
The chief industry negotia-
tor, r. Conrad Cooper. said
there was no change in the
bargaining Stalemate.
However, Mr.. Cooper and
David j. Mcdonald. Steelwork-
srs Union president, kept talk
ing with fellow negotiators
about a possible new contract.
They recessed for lunch at
1915 pm. and planned to meet
again at 2:S0.
Mr.. Cooper said the process
of closing down the industry
in advance of the expected
midnight walkout by 100000
workers was already well along.
Pose for Pictures
Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Coop
er shook hands and willingly
posed for a news photographer
before starting their final round
of sessions. They engaged in
their usual banter with news
men, but conceded that neither
had any real hope for averting
the walkout.
The union held to its position
that its demands need not
touch of an inflationary rise in
steel prices.
The industry stuck firmly to
its position that any extra wage
and other concessions would be
inflationary and contrary to the
Nations interest.
President Eisenhower for
many months has been urging
steel negotiators to be moder-
ate. The steel industry said its
position was grounded on the
Presidents position.
President Still Hopeful
In Washington today, the
White House said President
Eisenhower still hopes the
strike can be averted.
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty was asked at a news
conference whether there was
anything new on the steel
situation from the Government
standpoint. He replied that
the statement he issued on the
matter yesterday lis just as
applicable today"
In that statement, the White
House said there still was time
and opportunity for a settle
ment to be worked out in the
wage dispute in advance of
the strike deadline set by the
union.
The statement said further
that President Eisenhower
hoped both sides would con-
tinue to work for a settlement
in the interest to the union,
the steel companies and the
public.
Fundamental Issue
There were other issues of
managerial rights to make
economies. but the central issue
was expressed by Mr.. Cooper,
United States Steel Corp. exec
utive vice president, who is call
ing the shots for the entire in
duStry:
Actually the fundamental
issue is the unions determine
ton to extract wage and ben
eft increases of substance that
would inevitably have infia-
tionary effects"
Mr.. Mcdonald said pyramid
ing industry profits could pay
for substantial pay and other
contract increases without &C
companying price increases.
In a laSt-ditch proposal last
night, Mr.. Mcdonald said the
union was willing to settle for
a package increase in pay and
benefits worth IS cents per hour
in each year Of a three-year
contract.

$3.10 per hour earnings, well

started with Mr.. Schmidt's
lawyer, BARLEY C. Crum, Mr..
Hoffa told the Senate Rackets
Committee.
Mr.. Hoffa's denial came dur
ing testimony also highlighted
by a defiant defense of his
dickering with the West Coast
Longshoremen's Union, expelled
by the old CLIO in 1850 for al
legedly following the Commu.
mist line. in an effort to build
a national transportation union
alliance.
Mr.. Crum swore yesterday
that. Mr.. Hoffa and several in
termediaries approached him
with a payoff proposition. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Crum, the Team
sters agreed to pay Mr.. Schmidt
about $150,000 in disputed fees
if Mr.. Schmidt would resign
from the board of monitors as
signed to police the union. Mr..
Crum said the Transfers
wanted him to replace Mr..
Schmidt as a monitor.
Still Balks at Fees
Mr.. Hoffa testified today
that he never suggested paying
, Mr.. Schmidt's fees, and still
refuses to do so. He said Mr..
lCrum did urge him to pay the
fees, which were to compensate
Mr.. Schmidt for services as a
monitor and for legal repre-
Sentation of a group of dis
sident Transfers.
Mr.. Crum said he was APP
lproached with the payof prop
oSition by Harry Bridges and
Louis Goldblatt of the Inter-
national Longshoremen'S and
Warehousemen'S Union.
Mr.. Hoffa replied that Mr..
Crum must have initiated the
proposition to the West Coast
Longshoremen'S leaders, on the
basis of long friendship.
The Teamster president said
he did recall Mr.. Goldblatt
talking to him about Mr..
Schmidt's fees, but he told the
committee these discussions
probably were instigated by Mr..
Crum.
| Can't Recall Details
! When the committee tried
to pin Mr.. Hoffa down, he said
he did not remember details
of the conversations about fees.
In any case, Mr.. Hoffa added,
he would have referred all such
propositions to Edward Ben
nett Williams, the Transfers
general counsel.
He said Mr.. Goldblatt had
no authority to speak for the
Transfers in negotiations with
Mr.. Schmidt and Mr.. Crum.
Mr.. Hoffa said Mr.. Crum told
him he wanted to be a monitor.

This is the first of a series of
four articles that will be published

information from the Fish and

All too often, when people
think of predators, some kind of
a sneaky, cunning and vicious
varmit appears in their minds
eye. Someone has said, "a pred
ator is some kind of animal that
kills something we want before
we get to kill it for ourselves"
Both of these definitions could be
right at times. The subject of
probation; the feeding of one
animal upon another, is all too
often mixed with misinformation,
personal feelings, and ignorance.
All animals must eat to live.
Some feed entirely upon plants.
Others feed on animals or plants
and animals. A predator is an
animal that feeds partially or
wholly upon other animals.
Biologically speaking, a predator
is neither good nor bad, and is

SUBSTITUTION RULE FOR
EXCESS" WHEAT
is NM

Amendment of marketing quota
provisions to require that wheat
must be in storage before it can
be substituted for stored "excess"
wheat will become effective this
year, Leo S. Kolstad, State ASC
administrative officer, has an
nounced.
AS in the last two years, Kol-
stad explains, a producer in 1859
may substitute neW-crop or other
wheat for excess wheat which
has been stored to avoid OF post
pone payment of a marketing
quota penalty. This year, how
ever, the wheat must be in stor-
age before substitution whereas
during previous years a pro-
Queer, after receiving permission
to substitute, had 80 days to get
the replacement grain into stor-
age.
In other words, this year the
farmer desiring to replace stored
excess wheat with other wheat
must request and receive the
approval of the county committee
before he makes the substitution.
The county committe will give
written approval on requests only
after they have inspected the
farm-stored wheat to verify that
it is equal in quality and
quantity to the stored excess
wheat. The committe will also
verify that the excess wheat is
in storage until permission to
substitute is given.
If the wheat to be substituted
is stored in a commercial ware
house, the owner must deposit his
warehouse receipt with the county
committee and receive written ap-
proval before he removes the
excess wheat from storage.
Kolstad urged all farmers who
to take advantage Of the
substitution provision this
year to discuss their plans with
their county committee at an
early date to be certain they fully
understand the new provision.
He emphasized that substitution
cannot be approved in any case
stored excess wheat is
removed before written approval
to substitute is given.

THE pREDAT0RS AMONG US"
FURNISHED BY
Montana Fish & Game Commission

an important member in natures
system of Checks and balances.
Most people tend to classify a
predator as good or bad depend
ing upon whether he takes or
destroys something we hold to
be valuable. This is the personal
view of probation, and is accept
able only SO long as we remember
to restrict this definition to the
individual animal doing damage
and not to the entire species.
AS an example, a coyote is some
times caught killing lambs. Does
this mean that all coyotes are
lamb-killers? Research and in
| vestigations do not bear this out.
Therefore, it seems reasonable
that if we stop the individual that
is "out of line", we are a long
ways toward elimination of our
troubles. Others states find that
controlling the individual causing
damage is by far the most effec-
tive and economical method avail
able. Farmers and ranchers who
are properly trained are much
more effective in controlling pred
ator damage than any kind of
indiscriminate predator destruc-
ton program.
The Montana Fish and Game
Department recognizes that the
larger predators can sometimes
be troublesome. In view of this
they have in operation in the
High-Line area of the state an
Extension Trapper Program. This
program is designed to help farm
ers and ranchers help themselves
with their predator problems. An
Extension Trapper is employed
for this purpose. 1t Is the res
possibility of the Extension Trap
per to hold meetings, field dem
onstrations and offer personal as
sistance where necessary to those
asking for this service. Groups
such as farm organizations, sports
mems clubs, Al Clubs, FLA.
groups, Boy Scout Troops, and
others are encouraged to organize
at which the Extension
Trapper will teach techniques of
trapping predators, predator-prey
relationships, and the control of
predator and fur animal damage
on the farm and ranch. Should

CONSERVATION COST
SHARING PRACTICES LISTED

Farmers and ranchers who are
considering the conservation work
they will do this year will find
a wide range of practices in this
years County Agricultural Con-
servation program, Chairman
Arthur Anderson of the Richland
County ASC Commute said this
week.
Federal cost-sharing equal to
approximately half the cost of
performing practices which are
considered especially desirable
from a conservation standpoint,
the Federal c~ost-share may be as
high as 80% of the cost.
Chairman Anderson said this
years program includes many
practices to improve and protect
range resources. These include:
livestock water developments such
as wells, springs, seeps and res
ervoirs; pasture seeding; range
reseedinE; deferred grazing; and
water spreading to slow and
better utilize runoff of water.
For farmers there are such
practices as sod waterway con-
struction; stubble mulching;
stripcropping, both field and con-
Jour; establishment of perman-
ent vegetive cover as protection
against erosion or as a needed
land use adjustment; construct
ing drainage systems, and irri-
cation practices, including re-
organization of existing systems,
constructing and lining Of dams,
pits or ponds, lining of irrigation
bitches and construction of drops,
chutes, spillways and similar
structures, and land leveling to
make for efficient use of irriga-
ton water and prevent erosion.
Many practices for which cost
sharing is available have equal
applicability to farms and ranches,
Mr.. Anderson pointed out. He
mentioned especially control of
weeds and planting of shelter
belts. He also pointed out that
this county has some Special"
practices designed especially to
meet local conservation needs.
These practices include the plow-
ing of fireguards also.
Requests for cost-sharing under
this years program r now being
accepted at the County ASC Of
flee. This period for filing re-
quests will end March 2, 1859,
Mr.. Anderson said. All requests
received through that date will
be considered and, to the extent
cost-sharing funds are available,
assistance will be offered on those
practices found to be needed and
feasible.
