Outlining the worsening economic
condition of miners and smeltermen
as contrasted with the company's in
creasing prosperity, Salvas pointed
out that during the term of the three
year agreement the cost of living in
creased by seven and one-half per
cent. The Montana Employment Serv-
ice reports average weekly wages
were reduced $15.47 in Montana met
al mining from July 1856 to June
1859, and in primary metals (smelters
and refineries) average weekly wages
were reduced $10.45 from July 1856
to June 1859.
''Not only have the average weekly
earnings of miners and smeltermen
been greatly reduced but the number
of workers has also been greatly re-
duced despite increased copper pro-
duction. The Montana Employment
Service reports 1900 less metal min
ers from July 1856 to June 1859 and
600 less employees in primary metals
(smelters and refineries) for the same
period. The United States Bureau of
Mines reports Montana mine produc-
tion in tons of copper for July 1856
of 7,43O tons. This increased to $3.50
tons in January 1859.
"The average mine worker in
July 1856 produced 2 tons of cop
per per month. These tremendous
savings in labor costs for Anaconda
in Montana are definitely reflected
in the 22O6 increase in Anaconda
profits for the first half of 1859
over the same 1858 period.
Individually and collectively Mon
tana's miners and smeltermen and the
in which they live are
receiving much less than they were
in 1856, while at the same time Ana

Montanans in Congress Monday
cIimaxed a drive to help meet earth
quake conditions in Montana by intro
ducing legislation to restore federal
highways.
Under bills, introduced by Senators
James E. Murray and Mike Mans
field and Representatives Lee Met
calf and Leroy Anderson, the federal
government would pay the entire cost
of restoring federal forest, park and
Indian roads, wholly on federal lands,
damaged by disasters such as earth
quakes and floods. Federal highway
emergency disaster funds now may
be used to pay only half the cost of
restoring federal aid highways, but
there is no authorization for restora-
tions of roads in forests, parks and In
dian reservations.
On the floor of the Senate, Senator
Murray estimated that Montana 287,
forest highway, suffered some $4
million worth of damage in the Au-
gust 18 earthquake. He said it will
take about $11a million to rebuild
key roads in Yellowstone National
Park. from Canyon to Old Faithful
to West Yellowstone, and another
$5OO,OOO to restore subsidiary forest
roads.
Last Tuesday, August 25, the Mon
tana delegation requested a draft of
the legislation from the Bureau of

Chairman Chavez (D-N.Mex.) of the
Senate Public Works Committee on
Thursday, August 27, and with Bu-
reau officials, among them the Fed
eral Highway Administrator, Bertram
d. Tallamy, Monday.
Monday Chavez also telegraphed
governors of Is western states that he
was airmailing copies of the bill for
their immediate study and comment.
Metcalf, a member of a Congress
sional group which inspected the
quake area August % and %, quoted
Tallamy as saying that as of the meet
ing he had yet to receive an appli-
cation from Montana's Governor for
highway emergency disaster funds.
Murray said he hoped the highway
financing bill, now pending in the
House, can be amended to take care
of Montana's earthquake disaster. He
said a general, rather than specific,
bill was introduced because "the
earthquake experience serves as
clear example of the need to correct
this oversight in the Highway Act"
"With the support of all western
we will succeed" he said.
Senator Mansfield said the federal

The Legislative Council hearing on
the demotion of Horace Williams has
been scheduled for 1000 am, Octo-
ber 26 and 27, Senator Robert A,
Durkee, Council chairman, has an
nounced
The Legislative Council was direct
ed by House Resolution No. to
maintain surveillance upon the de-
partments, commissions, boards and
bureaus of the State government to
observe if reprisaI is taken against
any employee who testified before
the legislature or any of its commit
tees. Any such reprisals are to be re-
ported to the Thirty-Seventh Legis-
'ative Assembly.
During the session, Williams testi-
fled before special committee to
investigate the Highway Department.
Several months later he was denoted
and on July /, 1869, he was dismissed.
On July 20, Williams appeared before
the Legislative Council and said that
he believed his demotion was a re-
prisal against him for testimony he
gave to the special committee during
the session.
According to- Durkee, tentative
rules have been adopted by the Coun-
ell but the final rules of procedure
will not be approved until the Sep
tember 21 Council meeting. By that
time both the Highway Commission
and Williams will have filed state
ments of the facts which they intend

ANACONDA ADMITS GREATLY
REDUCED LABOR COSTS

Charging that Anaconda officials
'thope to develop more favorable
bargaining position by weakening the
united strength of the miners and
smeltermen," he said that the COM
pany's recalcitrant position and de-
cision in these negotiations are un-
related to it's prosperity or the needs
of" it's employees; that the company
admits to greatly reduced labor costs
and emphatically states it is not plead
ing poverty ~
The people's voice., 1959-09-04


At the same time, he observed that
jobs in the non-ferrous metals indus
try in Montana declined by 5000 in
the three-year period because of tech
biological improvements which enable
the miner to produce over twice as
much copper per shift as he did in
mid-1956. Another result of improved
production methods, Salvas said, is
the 22O per cent increase in Ana
conda's profits for the first half. of
1859 as compared with the same
period of 1858.
In prepared statement the Mine
Mill leader reviewed the continuing
efforts of his union over the "many
weeks prior to the June 30th expira-
ton date of the three-year labor
agreement" to reach a. reasonable
settlement with Anaconda, in accord
ance with the bargaining program
which majority of the unions men,
bership had earlier approved by ref
erendum vote. Further efforts. he
said, along with presentation of scaled
down demands, were made by the
unions bargaining committee prior to
striking Anaconda on August 10. All
of these, he continued, were to no
avail, "Anaconda's New York bosses
refused to bulge.

There is "an ample supply of such
foods presently in storage within the
state, according to Lieut.. Gov. Paul
Cannon. Cannon, it will be recalled,
while acting Governor in February
of 1858, asked that Montana be put
on the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture's list of states desiring surplus
commodities for distribution to needy
people. Cannon's action came after
Gov. j. Hugo Aronson had steadfastly
refused to seek such surplus foods
although Montana at the time had the
highest percentage of unemployed of
any state in the nation and thousands
of families were exhausting or had
exhausted all of their unemployment
compensation benefits.
FIRST GRADE QUALITY
In making his announcement that
"an ample supply of such foods are
on hand within the state, Cannon said
that these commodities "are all first
grade quality and are comparable to
grocery store items.

Fake Trooper

Maryland State police today
are looking for a man who

The man. wearing khaki
clothes and campaign-type hat
resembling those worn by State
troopers. demanded that one
driver turn over $3.50 "collat-

This was about 3:l5 am. to-
day on the expressway portion
between the cutoff to Friend
ship International Airport and

Police said the motorist,

told the man he did not have
the money. He said he was told
to wait while another trooper
was summoned. The trooper
drove of and did not return.
Police said Mr.. Clarity tele-
phoned them afterward be-
cause he thought the mans
appearance was too sloppy for
a State trooper, and also to
inquire if collecting collateral
was proper procedure for an
officer. Police said it wasn't.
