The $2.5 million rate hike was APP
proved by Commissioners Jack
Holmes and Austin Middleton on JAN
uary IL, and represented more than
double the amount recommended by
the PSC's own rate expert following
exhaustive study of the utility's fl
nancial structure. Commissioner Paul
T. Smith dissented, contending that
the Holmes-Middleto finding was
excessive and unreasonable and :.
not justified by the evidence"
DIR. Laurence Kuappen, rate expert
for protesting groups, and whose
testimony in 1857 was largely re-
sponsible in blocking in it's entirety
a $3.5 million rate increase request
by the telephone company, told the
commission during hearings that the
utility's financial return was suf-
ficient to obviate necessity for any
rate increase.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(PAD-
A number of unions which have been
hard-hit by the spread of strikebreak-
ing by outsiders are seeking federal
and state legislation that would pre-
vent the importation of scabs across
the state boundaries and drive the
professional strikebreaker out of
business.
The problem of strikebreaking has
been brought into focus by recent
strikes where job protection for strik-
ers has come under the heaviest kind
of fire.
One strike is that in Portland, Ore,
where professional strikebreakers
were brought in by the S. l. New
house newspaper chain which pub
fishes the strikebound Portland ORE
CONAN and OREGON JOURNAL.
This is typical of the use of profess
sional strikebreakers who travel
around the country breaking strikes
as their services are called for.
Another type of strikebreaking
through the use of men and women
brought in from outside commun-
ity and even across state boundaries
is represented at Henderson, N. c.,
where Textile Workers locals are en-
batled at the Harriet-H Mills.
JOB RIGHTS IMPERILED
In both cases the job rights of
strikers have been gravely imperiled.
Under the present law they can be
permanently replaced unless the en-

Laws Sought To Halt Traffic
In Professional Strikebreukers

ployer is found guilty of an unfair
labor practice.
The American Newspaper Guild
and the printing trades unions,
mindful of the situation in Port
land have called for united labor
support in a drive for federal and
state laws to ban commercial traf-
fie in strikebreakers as contrary to
public policy.
A proposed model law would be
based on Pennsylvania legislation
which prohibits persons or firms mot
directly involved in strike or lock-
OUT from recruiting strikebreakers.
That would ban the professional
strikebreaker and his crew.
ALSO FIGHTING IMPORTATION
Efforts also are being directed
against the importation of strike
breakers from across state lines.
There is federal legislation that
touches on this subject but it has
proven extremely weak.
In 1886 Congress enacted the
Byrnes Act which forbids the willful
in interstate or foreign
commerce of "any person who is en-
ployed or is to be employed for the
purpose. of obstructing by. force or
threats with peaceful picketing or the
right of self organization ;"
An effort was made in Tennessee
in 1910 to use this law to ban the
of strikebreakers across
state lines, but the courts denied a
injunction on the
grounds that force and violence were
lot involved. Since then the law has
been interpreted as being directed
against the importation of gangsters
% beat up union organizers, but as
lot going beyond that.

State Board Reports
Progress In Raising
Local Assessments

Because of the earnest efforts Oh
County Assessors, the State Board
of Equalization does not believe il
sis Justified in further reducing
the assessments i. on railroads and
utilities for 1861" a statement by
the Board announced this week.
In 1859, the Board chopped inter
county assessments of railroads, pipe
lines and utilities by $25 million. This
statewide reduction resulted in ma
terial property tax increases in many
counties and embroiled the state tax
ing agency in controversy which
has continued undated since.
The Boards statement, according
to Chairman w. j. Winter, is as fol-
lows: 48sss
''The State Board of Equalization
reports that a substantial increase in
the ratio of full cash value of all
personal properties is being secured
this year, because of the earnest eff
forts of County Assessors, co-opera-
ting through their state association.
They are striving for a ratio on all
personal property for 1860 that will
reach well above the 500 level of
full cash value.
ssRecent studies indicate that all
lands in the state carry an average
assessment of less than 800 cash
value. Dry-tilled wheat or grain land,
in particular, gets a special tax favor
by being assessed at an average value
of 2O@o Cor less) of full cash value
"The State Board proposed small
increase in this type of land, to the
assessors and commissioners in No
vember 1859. The proposed raises
were based upon U. S. Department |
of Agriculture 20-year production |
records of wheat in each county for |
an equalizing factor, and upon 24@o |
of actual proven sales value, estab- /
lished in Toole county in 1858 for
cash value. About IA counties had
reached or passed this level of land
assessment during the Is years Just
passed. Pondera, Hill, Blaine and
Toole have made strong increases
during the past two years. Chouteau,
Teton, Powell, Ravalli and Golden
Valley have decided upon definite
increases this year.
"Chouteau county tax officials &C
copied at once the State Boards pro-
posal, making So % raise on 964,953
acres, averaging $4.62 per acre for
a total assessment increase of S4,-
a58, 1882. Musselshell county has def
1itely indicated substantial adjust
nent in irrigated land.

rected to the same end. ~
IF business mounts a new public
| pressure drive on Congress like the
one which put over the Landrum-
Griffin law last summer, the gov
eminent expert said, then this new
| bill would exempt from income tax
the corporate money spent in such
a drive.
This would reverse a government
tax policy over 40 years old, which
has repeatedly been affirmed by the
Supreme Court. Under present laws
and regulations, spending for lobby
ing and propaganda is NOT tax-de-
ductible as necessary business ex-
pense.' That fact has helped restrain
business spending for such purposes.
The NAM NEWS also carries the
report that the Boggs bill and similar
measures are strongly supported by
both industry and labor" On the con-
trary, AFL-CIO representative have
only recently become alerted to the
Boggs bill, and they are now studying
it.
"At first glance" an AFL-CIO
spokesman told LABOR, this bill
seems to give everything to the
corporations, and nothing to labor"
The new tax exemption bill is spon-
sored by Congressman Hale Boggs
(D-La.). 1t has been referred to the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Recently Commerce Secretary Fred
erick A. Mueller wrote that commit
tee warmly endorsing the Boggs bill.
"The Department of Commerce."
wrote Mueller, recommends en-
actment of this legislation or of
legislation which would accomplish
the same general objectives.''
Likewise, the National Association
IF Manufacturers, informing it's men,
oers about the Boggs bill, declared:
Immediate action by Congress is
necessary if this tax problem is to be
corrected"

What cautious also about the Boggs

J. Scflmner, DR., wrote the House
ommittee that the subject deserves
early consideration by the Congress-
nd that business spending for actual
ppearances at public hearings should

Broader legislation may we'll be
ndicated," Scribner added, but he
autioned that Safeguards or limita-
ions" may be needed.

Chairman Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.)
