The money went to SO workers at
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls who
had been laid off by the company in
recent years. Amounts ranging from
500 to $1,4OO, depending on their
length of service, were received by
IA workers at Butte, Is at Anaconda
and four at Great Falls. The average
payment was thus more than $3.50.
The payments are being made by a
settlement with the company as an
alternative to arbitration. The COM
pany had resisted arbitration and, as
a result, the case had to be fought
through the Federal District Court
in Butte and the Federal Court of
Appeals in San Francisco.
After the courts upheld Mine-Mill's
contention that the matter was arbi-
trable, the company indicated it's
willingness to settle the matter.
Although the basic question of the

Canadian Power Rate Would
Have Saved U. S. Consumers
Sis Billion In 1858

Electric Consumers Information Comm.
Residential power consumers in the
United States would have saved $1.5
billion in 1858 if the national average
electricity rate had been as low as
Canada's.
The U. S. average rate in 1858 was
2.53 cents per kilowatthour. In Can
ada, the average rate was 1.61 cents
per XVIII, or O.92 cents lower. With
average residential use of power in
1858 at 1866 XVIII, the savings per
consumer at the Canadian rate would
have been $30.97. And with about
48 million residential customers in
1858, total savings would have been
almost SIS billion.

Wilderness Area to Be Established

A proposal to modify the existing
Selway-Bitterroo Primitive Area and
to reclassify most of it as wilderness
area has been announced by the re-
gional office of the U. S. Forest
Service in Missoula.
Under the proposal, 1,163,555 acres
of the present primitive area in
southwestern Montana and eastern
Idaho would be classified under wild
erness regulation III, the announce
ment states.
The action is part of the Forest
Services policy of reviewing all ma
tional forest primitive areas and re-
establishing as wilderness those por-
lions predominantly valuable for that
purpose.
The area to be reclassified as wild
erness includes much of the Bitterroot
Mountains, large part of the Selway
River drainage and a portion of the
Lochsa River drainage. 1t averages
nearly 30 miles long from north to
south, and 40 miles wide from east
to west. 1t lies in four national for
ests in Idaho, the Lolo, Bitterroot,
Nez Perez, and Clearwater. and in

the Lola and Bitterroot in Montana.
Public hearings on the proposal to
establish the Selway- Bitterroot Wild
erness Area will be held in Missoula,
Montana, on March 7 and in Lewiston
Idaho, on March 9, the announcement
states.
The Selway -Bitterroot Primitive
Area was established by the Forest
Service on July 3, 1886, under regu-
lation LEO of the Secretary of Agri-
culture. In the announcement. the
Forest Service says it proposes to
modify the boundaries for a part of
the existing primitive area in order
to establish wilderness area that
will qualify for classification under
regulation U-1 of the Secretary of
Agriculture.
The announcement lists the super
vlsors' offices of the four forests and
the regional forester's office in Mis-
soula as sources of additional infor-
nation on the proposed changes.

before he runs for partisan office.
Republicans are hard put to bring it
to a test, and Democrats, however
they feel about the constitutionality
of the law have no great compelling
reason to bring it to a test.
There may be an attempt to bring
it before the court on some grounds,
but it won't be by anyone who can
immediately be associated with the
political parties.
The Great Northern is trying to get
the Public Service Commission to
allow it to discontinue one-car service
between Great Falls and Butte.
Protesting among others will be
the Great Falls City Council. At a
council meeting it was pointed out
that presently the Great Northern
is using buses for mail delivery to
small communities along the route
at the same time the train is in serv-
ice, which can not but help make the
revenue record of the one-car service
smaller.
Last week I rode to Great Falls
on u. S. 81 behind this mail truck.
The roads were bad and fresh snow
had fallen and was still falling. The
mail truck threw so much snow that
for miles we had to drive behind it.
The. glare from the snow being
churned by the truck made visibility
hazardous and it was not always pos
sible to determine how far we were
behind it, along with the terrific
strain it was on the eyes.
This road hazard is being created
while there is a train covering the
same route, and to me it seems ridicu-
lous. How did the Great Northern get
the necessary licenses to put this
truck on the road that means dupli-
cation of service?

In short, do not object to Mr..

Such activity I believe is incom-

as a journalist I would be derelict in
my duty not to protest it.
In this connection, you will recall
that in the West Publishing Company

USDA Okays 4 Billion Pounds
OF Poultry In lst Year

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Federal poultry inspectors found
more than billion pounds of poultry
and poultry products to be wholesome
and safe to eat during it's first year
of inspection.
All poultry processing plants ship
ping birds in interstate commerce
were federally inspected in 1859.
Agriculture Department inspectors
now go to TAO plants to check slaught-
ering, eviscerating, canning. and
packaging of poultry.
The poultry inspector checks live
poultry lot-by-lot as it comes to the
plant and follows the birds until
they're ready for retail delivery. Any
birds that don't meet USDA stand
ards are condemned and destroyed
for food purposes. s'r
1t many are condemned in any
area, USDA helps poultry raisers find
out what's causing disease and works

dictate that when service can be main
tanned on railroad route it should
be encouraged, rather than elimi-
mated.
1t seems there is very little "regula-
ton" that allows the present duplica-
tion of service.
When the Public Service Commits
sion considers the revenue of the
Great Northern service between Great
Falls and Butte it should certainly
find out what it might be if the costly
duplication was eliminated; and the
additional unnecessary highway haz-
ard must surely have some bearing
on the public well being.

I note with interest that Gretchen
Billings in her (Dec. ID column
"What Do You Think" takes excep-
ton to my contention that Secretary
of State Frank Murray ought not
lend his office to the sales promotion
of new stock company.
The columns thesis seems to be
summed up in this paragraph: eff
the premise of Fike is correct then
public Officials would have to aban-
don all their interests to serve in
government
This, in my opinion, is misleading
and begs the issue.
No one contends that Mr.. Murray
or any other State official sell stock
or abandon personal interests in order
to serve the government, although
the Congress has seen fit to require
prominent public servants in Wash
ington to sell stock where there might
be conflict of interest, as well re-
membered in the case of Defense
Secretary Charles Wilson.
What Frank Murray is involved in
falls into an entirely different cate
CORY. Mr.. Murray is listed prominent
ly as Secretary Treasurer, Organizer
and Director of the New Western
Underwriting Corporation which ac-
cording to the corporations pros
pectus had cash on hand as of Sep

Par Value Common Stock to incor-
porators for SIP, 10000. This cor
poration thus thinly financed, pro-
poses to sell to Montanans $4,50O,OOO
worth of stock.
In short, this is pure and simply
a stock promotion. The office of the
Secretary of State is thus put on
the auction block by stock promoters

Our great industrial develop

within their state governments.
Stated by competent personnel,
these agencies have gone out to
business and industry, selling the

In my own state, we are current

for industrial promotion and adj
