Montana Labor Backs Bond Issue

Montana organized labor has placed
itself on record in support of the five
million dollar bond issue which will
be before the electorate for consid-
Grafton at the November 1860 general
election.
At the same time, delegates to the
third annual AFL-CIO convention
served fair warning on the State
Prison Board and Warden Floyd
Powell that they are becoming in
creasingly impatient with the dilly-
dallying INDUCED in by the state
officials in signing union contracts
with craftsmen, administrative and
other paid personnel at the prison.
In addition to endorsing the bond
referendum to provide funds for a
new prison which would be located
on the prison ranch about four miles
away from the town of Deer Lodge,
and prodding the state officials, the
convention also reaffirmed a policy
statement adopted by the 1858 ALL
CIO convention. The six points of
that statement are:
1. That we favor the expansion Of
adequate building services wherever

mel and finally, community support
81 have been told I would never
get that kind of program in Mon
tana", he said, ''but I don't believe
that.
Speaking about the five and one
half million dollar prison program
that the people will be voting on in
November, 1860, Powell said it is a
very minimum cost compared to SINH
lar programs in other states.
The AFL-CIO went on record via
resolution to support the referendum.
(See story elsewhere).
The people's voice., 1959-07-03

He assured Montana labor that he
thought unions contributed to high
er standard of living for all people
and that they were always the cham
pion of the underdog and have a
great understanding and interest in
what happens to the delinquent peo-
pie in our country. He said he wants
to cooperate with labor in setting
up program for rehabilitation under
the supervision of union craftsmen
inside the walls, and have the CO.
operation of labor with those who
are released and have a difficult
problem returning to normal COM
munity living.
Powell said rehabilitation saves
money. He said the cost of keeping
an individual in prison is about $125
a month; the cost of each dependent
is about $117 a month, and besides
the financial cost there is the social
impact on the family of these people,
that often turns their children to a
life of crime. Failures, he said, cost
thousands of dollars and involved in
it is human suffering.
Pointing out that people who go
to prison are products of society, he
said we must handle them whether
we want to or not, and because such
large percentage of them will leave
the prison it is a social and welfare
problem to see that they make good
when they leave.
He said 80 per cent of the people
in the prison come from broken homes
of one form or another.
The primary purpose of the insti-
tuition, he said, is to protect society
and then prepare the individual to
return to society and be good neigh
Dor and a contributing member of
society.
Powell said about 40 per cent of

Concerning the workmen's com

found him breaking a 27-27 tie vote
in favor of the measure, the potential
Demo 1860 gubernatorial candidate,
stated that it was an excellent, "long-
needed measure. Prefacing his re-
marks on this, he briefly recalled the
history of workmen's compensation;
how, before the Montana law was
passed in 1915, an injured workman
had to go to court in order to secure
redress for an injury; how Montana's s
law dragged along for 30 years with
out material improvement to meet
changing times and cheapening dol
lar; and how the Aronson-vetoed bill
would have gone far toward bringing
the law up to date with more realistic
benefits for the disabled and at the

In conclusion, Cannon said these
issues vetoed by Aronson should be

the Montana State AFL-CIO, by
convention action last weekend.
Delegates, resolving that it "is a
many-sided problem" pointed out
that conservation of our human and
natural resources is of prime import
ance to the continued internal health
and strength of our nation, and
noted that the problem includes:
/. "Protection and extension of
our nations timbered watershed is
basic to ensuring a continued ade-
quate water supply.
2. Human and animal life are
dependent upon pure, unpolluted
water and equally pure, unpolluted
air;
8. "The recreational needs of a
rapidly-growing population must be
provided for;
4. EFFECTIVE legislation is needed

of conservation"
TOWARD A SOLUTION
In addition to establishing a region
al corporation, similar to IVA, as
a co-ordinating and action body, the
convention made four other specific
recommendations to implement the
desired balanced program. These rec
concentrations were:
l. Enactment of the Youth Conser-
walton Corps bill IS 812 by Murray,
Mansfield and "a other Senators) or
its companion measure in the House,
HR 4207. This legislation, said the
convention, "would provide oppor-
tunities for the nations youth to
work on worthwhile housekeeping
projects, such as was accomplished
under the old CCC program, includ-
ing the cleaning up of our forests,
our natural timber habi-
tats, and similar conservation work
which otherwise will go largely un-

2. Approval of the Wilderness Bill

DeSapio Backs
Butler Views

NEW YORK, July 18 (AP) -
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler, attacked by
some members of his own party,
has won support from Tam
many Hall Leader Carmine De
Sapio, who has similar prob
lens of his own.
Mr.. De Sapio said he went
along with Mr.. Buffers civil
rights views and made a plea
for party unity after comforting
with the national chairman
yesterday.
ANY degree of disunity with
in the Democratic Party does
great harm to the cause OF
liberalism and to the progressive
policy and philosophy which
our party has represented" the
State Democratic leader said.
Mr.. De Sapio said that dis
unity had contributed to de-
feat for Democrats in New York
State in last November's cleo
tons and could lead to a Dem
ocratic loss in the presidential
election next year.
Mr.. Butler said he was glad
to have an expression of the
confidence of New York leaders
on position that I take"
Criticism of both Mr.. Butler
and Mr.. De Sapio have centered
on the question of a party
image"
Mr.. Butler has drawn fire
for publicly criticizing the con-
gressional record made by
leaders of his party.
Mr.. De Sapio has been accused
of giving the New York Demo-
cratic organization an aura of
"boSsiSm" and not encouraging
the liberal elements of his
party.
Yesterday Mr.. De Sapio said
he felt the general sentiment
and consensus of the views of
Democratic leaders in New
York City and the State" were
aligned with Mr.. Butler's
fortnight position on civil
rights"
The election of the Repub-
lican ticket in New York headed
by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
came about largely because of
the pickering and disunity
within the Democratic ranks in
this State" Mr.. De Sapio
charged.
I'VE must not allow a similar
catastrophe to occur in the
national election next year.
