Warning To Labor and Its Friends :.
>Riqht-to-Wo Forces Aim at
legislative Control This Year

| Still smarting from the resoundinf
defeats suffered in 1858, the Nation
al Right-to- Work Committee has gone
underground in this years election
The compulsory open shop propose
is not now scheduled to be on the
ballot in single state this year, MOI
is any effort being made to put il
before the electorate.
Instead the advocates of the com
pulsory open shop are operating in
utmost secrecy in number of state
capitals. They are seeking secret COM
mitments from enough candidates for
the state legislatures to provide ma
jorities for the so-called "Right-to-
Work" laws in next years legisla-
lures.
Warning of the change in tactics
was issued by John M. Redding, di-
rector of the National Council for In
dustrial Peace, an organization that
believes the compulsory open shop
endangers peaceful labor relations.
Where incumbent legislators re-
fuse to pledge their support for
open shop laws. Redding charged,
the anti-union forces are quietly
lining up support for their oppon-
. ents. Success of this maneuver de-
ponds on how quiet they can keep
the operation.
To defeat the move, Redding urged
that union members quiz each candi-
date for the state legislature as to
his or her precise position on the COM
pulsory open shop.
Redding told THE MACHINIST
that the situation is particularly acute
in Delaware, New Mexico, Idaho and
Vermont, states that are the current
targets for the National Right-to-
Work Committee.
In Indiana, he revealed, the anti
union coalition is using these same
tactics to attempt to block repeal
of "Right-to-Work" law passed in
1857. Redding commented:
'Tn recent years, the people behind |
he compulsory open shop bills have
lsed two approaches. Where they
couldn't high-pressure a state legis-
allure into passing law, they would |
circulate petitions to put so-called1
Work. on the ballot as a |
issue.
However, in five out of six states

DENVER (CNS)-As one of his
first jobs, the next U. S. President
should call an economic conference
of non-communist nations to organ
ize World Economic Union, an in
ternationaf farm leader said here.
James Patton, president of Inter
national Federation of Agricultural
Producers and National Farmers I'm
ion, suggested this to implement prin-
ciples IFAP adopted at its recent
India meeting.
World Economic Union could do
what the. European Common Market
and the Outer-7 are doing for small
areas, he said.
Patton suggested that each mem
Der nation of the Union contribute
2h % per cent of it's gross national
product each year to a World Devel-'
opment Corporation and pledge con-
tinued investments for 40 years.
In 1858 the U. S., France, Norway,
United Kingdom, Germany, Italy,
Sweden. Switzerland, Canada, New
Zealand, and Australia would have
invested S17h billion. With this
WDC would lend long-tern, low-in-
terest capital to the underdeveloped
countries.

feated. 1t carried only in Kansas
1.-THE new undercover attempt to

designed to trick the voters this

SIN several states, the election OF
only few more legislators pledged
to the compulsory open shop could
switch the balance.
"Union members and other clear
thinking citizens can upset this stra-
tegy. They can demand statement
from each candidate for the legisla-
ture making clear his precise position
on compulsory open shop legislation
''Then, if they work hard to elect
those candidates who are fortnight
in their opposition to such law, it's
unlikely that the other side will be
able to get majority"
Redding pointed out that in two
state egislatures-those of Delaware
and New Mexico-the margins by
which @Right-to-W Work" has been
STAYED off is very close. In Delaware
its proponents need only two or three
more votes to put over their measure
In New Mexico, the compulsory
open shop was defeated last year only
because Lieut.. Gov. Ed Mead's vote
for the bill to break tie in the state
Senate was declared illegal. State
law says he can't vote on a constitu
tional change, which the bill provided
That one was too close for comfort,
Redding said.-THE MACHINIST.
EDITORS NOTE: AS in various
other states, the "putsch'' is on to
nominate and elect business

political party. There are, for ex-

the Public Service Commission, is be-

District Court by Helena attorney

Leaphart, who. first as member

posed enormous natural gas rate in

Montana-Dakota Utilities in extended
litigation which began in 1853, and
more recently, has acted as counsel

also contends in his filing petition
that the boost in rates is improper
and capricious s. -; that 'this I'M
reasonable increase in net revenues
(of $I,125,939) is more than 50%o.

Asking that the court vacate the
recently approved higher rate sched-

to 81 per cent, Leaphart also petit

In MissouIu Vote

MISSOULA - Conservative bust
ness interests which have long con-
trolled operation of Missoula County
High School, had their reign come
to an abrupt ending at last Saturdays
county wide school district election.
The conservatives met their Water
loo at the hands of coalition, of indie
pendent voters, liberals and members
of organized labor, banded together
in the Committee for Elected High
School Board. When the votes were
counted, every single candidate
backed by the committee had won
election.
This was the first time county
high school board has been elected.
Prior to passage of enabling legisla-
ton by the 1859 Legislative Assem-
bly,, county high school boards were
appointed by the county commits
sioners.
The enabling legislation, HB ITO,
by McGarvey (D-Flathead), Barrett
(D-Liberty), Helding-D and How
Missoula, came about because
of a long-drawn dispute between the
County High School admin
istration and board of trustees, and
a substantial percentage Of the facul-
ty of MCHS.
The controversy resulted in the
of longtime high school

Of strong popular reaction in the

and ran for County Superintendent
and was elected by a tremendous

Hope Denies
Aiding Nixon

WASHINGTON, ID. c.
(NFU)-T efforts of Vice
President Richard M. Nixon to
divorce himself from Secretary
Benson by leaking news stories
that Clifford R. Hope, of Kan
sas, is advising him him have
been jolted by Hope.
"These reports are not
true,' declared the retired
chairman of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture.
Although a Republican, Hope
never agreed with the sliding
scale or flexible price system of
the Administration and Farm
Bureau.
The popular ex-Congressman
also said in a special statement
to the press: 81 have not seen
or communicated with him
(Nixon) for almost year and
a half"
At a Denver press conference
on March %, Hope added:
"Mr. Nixon seems to be COM
municating with me through
the press and / thought /
should use the same method"
Meanwhile, Nixon is support
ing the Administrators recon-
mendations before Congress
to abolish the parity measure
and all production adjustments,

age market price for the past

At the recent National Farmers

also means forcing millions of farm
people to compete for the jobs of
laboring people in the cities"
He said long-range farm legislation
is desirable, but "many farmers won't
be around to participate in a long

"The $2,500,0OO Montana tele-

in Helena Wednesday.

Evidently one member of the Pub

approval. This proposal would pro-

a year per farmer for crops put under

method for reducing present SURPRISES

an enabling act designed to set ma
