AFL-CIO Convention
Urge More Access Roads
In National Forests

Legislation now pending in Con-
gress to provide direct appropriation
of federal funds for the building of
timber access roads, should be adopted
according to delegates to Montana
State AFL-CIO's third annual con-
vention
Pointing out that "the present pol
icy of building timber access roads
out of the timber sales by the pur-
chaser is not providing fire and other
protection to public timber or realiza-
tion of utilization of public timber
stands" the delegates resolved that
the greater public purpose would be
served by direct appropriation OF
funds for constructing such roads.
Federal building of access roads
will make it possible for smaller op-
orators to bid on out of the way tim
Der stands, will ensure harvesting OF
ripe and overripe timber located in
such stands, and will thus provide
greater use of this valuable resource.

Frank Murray, Secretary of State,
and a card-carrying member of the

three decades, in speaking to the con-
vention on the long, hard row labor
has had in it's struggle to better the
conditions of people, briefly reviewed
some highlights of labor's history
since the time the Republic was found
ed. In so doing, he noted the first
"scale of prices" and conditions were
drafted and put into effect in the
early 18G0's by the Franklin Typo

out that when the American Fedora

An "Out" On
Debt Limit

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(RED-
Senators Clark (Pa.) and Morse
(Ore.) have offered bill to lower
the national debt ceiling by $27 bill
lion, and asked the Senate Finance
Committee for hearings on this pro-
posal.
This closely followed President Ell
senhower's request of Congress to in
crease the debt limit from $288 billion
to $295 billion. Clark and Morse
would lower it to $268 billion. They
would do so by deducting two items
from the gross debt owed by the
government:
ID The balance outstanding of
all obligations owed to the U. S. and
payable in U. S. currency, such as
loans to rural electric co-ops, FILA
and VA loans. This amounts to about
$40 billion.
(2) Amounts invested in revenue
producing and self-liquidating capital
investments like the Bureau of Recla-
nation projects, IVA and Bonneville
Power Administration totaling about
$6.5 billion.
If adopted, this proposal would be
step closer to federal capital bud

luton by National Rural Electric Co

would tend to reduce surplus sup
plies of steel and other metals and
would give the industries leaders an
excuse for further jacking up their
prices-in face of record breaking
profits. He also took issue with the
drive to set up tariff walls against i'm
portation of cheap foreign metals,
insisting that "you won't solve the
problem" in that manner; that such
barriers would only provide another
means for the gouging of the con-
sumner. Referring to the drive to
raise 100000 for the 1860 Cover
nors' Conference, Leary expressed
the opinion the money raised would
be much better spent by bringing in
dustrial officials to Montana to make
first hand examinations of what Mon
tana has to offer as a location for
expanded industrial development.
Les Green, Denver, vice president
of Dist. 6, Hotel & Restaurant En-
ployees and Bartenders, said his un-
ion had made significant progress the
past year. Of top Importance to
HRE&B, he said, was U. S. Supreme
Court decision ordering the National
Labor Relations Board to assume
jurisdiction over the Hotel and Res
taurant industry. Unlike other unions
who have found Taft-Hartley oner-
Gus, he said that to his people who
had previously been in a "no mans
land" with no state or federal agency
to force employers to collectively bar
gain, the court decision represented
major gain.
Emilio F. English, Havre, chairman
Joint Legislative Board of the Rail-
way Brotherhoods, spoke briefly on
how well the joint lobby of labor and
farm groups had worked together last
session; how his people would con-
tinue to oppose so-called 'right-to-
work" even though such state law
would not at this time affect them
because of the Railway Labor Act.
Right work., once on the books in
a substantial number of states. would
lead to an about campaign for SINH

would bring down the house of rail

Daniels county senator matter-of

URGES MORE AFFILIATIONS

Paul Shafto, president of Wyoming
State AFL-CIO, said he found labor
in his state and Montana have much
in common; have many Of the same
problems. One of the big problems
in both states has to do with bringing
all local unions into affiliation with
the state organization that labor may
more effectively pursue its just de-
mands and to protect itself from those
who would destroy it. Shafto said the
"right-to-work" forces will come back
again an d again-"under other
names. This growing threat, he en-
phasized, makes mandatory an end
to the pickering and dissention within
the ranks. By joining together, not
only will labor be able to beat back
such destructive forces as the Fright
to-work crowd, but, by unity and
standing behind elected leadership,
positive gains for the general well
fare can be achieved.
Walter Gray, COPE director for
Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska and
the two Dakotas, pointed out that the
"giant" - labor's rank-and-file - is
slowly beginning to awaken to the
Importance of increased political ac-
tion and the need for understanding
issues. COPE, he said, had consider
able success in 1853. Of COPE-backed
candidates for the U. S. Senate, IA
per cent were successful. In the
House, COPE had batting average
of 63 per cent.
Although such things are encourag-
ing, Gray cautioned his audience that
"you can't rest on your laurels :.
when you reflect back on the fact
that you only succeeded in beating

natures - last year.

seek to control or destroy them. To
do this effectively, we should know
something about them.
Most insects lay eggs, though
aphidS, or plant lice, are born ready
for action. From the eggs may come
larvae, otherwise known as grubs,
maggotS, caterpillarS or worms. A
larva feeds greedily, then changes
into a pupa, which lies low until it
emerges as a butterfly, beetle, fly
or a moth. Some, like the Mex
ican bean beetle, skip one stage,
and some, like grasShoppers, come
from the egg as a small form of
the adult.
Some larvae live underground.

these are the white gubS SO often
turned up by the spade. Patches of
dead grass in lawn may be caused
by Japanese beetle grubs at work
below. Young cabbage plants may
wilt and die when the cabbage
maggot, which later is a gray fly,
emergeS from eggs laid on the soil
and goes down TO the roots. They
also invade radiSh roots in early
spring. To protect cabbage, broc-
coli, or cauliflower plants, apply
Ichlordane dust to roots when trans
Eplanting. Chlordane will also con-
Itrol cabbage maggots in radishes
when applied in the furrow before
covering the seed at planting time.
IChlordane is also a good weapon
against cut worms which chew the
stems of young plants. Apply to
soil surrounding plants.
