Vocational Rehabilitation
OF IndustriaIIy Injured

In 1859 the Legislative Assembly
amended the Industrial Accident Law
to provide that the director of the
bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation
would be one member of the Indus
trial Accident Board. This made good
common sense, for both agencies deal
directly in providing needed services
to the injured and handicapped.
An injured worker is entitled not
only to compensation for his injury,
but also to corrective surgery, hos
pitalization, therapy and other needed
medical and paramedical services.
But in many instances the injured
worker, even after all restorative
procedures, finds that he is still handi-
capped to such degree that he can
no longer follow his regular line of
work. At this point he should be re-
ferred to the vocational rehabilitation
service for restraining, selective job
placement, or other rehabilitation
service.
In years past, unfortunately, there
have been very few such referrals,
with the result that only a small num-
Der of industrially injured ever re-
ceived rehabilitation services, no mat
ter how much they may have needed
them. But under the amended indus
trial act it is now possible to estab-
lish practical and feasible method
of screening industrial cases for pos
sible referral to the vocational re-
Mobilization agency. The results have
been startling Formerly seldom more
than five industrially injured would
be referred for rehabilitation in
single year. But during the calendar
year of 1860, according to the BIZ
ennial report of the Bureau of Voca-
tional Rehabilitation, there were LAG
such referrals.

partment could then have searched
for the right-of-way III areas where
it could have been secured at prices
that the taxpayers could afford to
pay.
However, the main point of this
letter is that the responsibility for
the cost of the Interstate to the
Montana taxpayer does not rest
with the Highway Commission
alone. 1t rests also with those who
constantly pressure the commits
sion-the various Chambers of
Commerce. all those who selfishly
expected to benefit from tourism
at the expense of all Montana citi-
zens. 1t also rests with the high
way and automobile associations
and with the newspapers of Mon
tana.
In spite of what the Montana Auto
mobile Association says, there is no
good reason to change the existing
laws relating to condemnation. Any
to take the landowners prop
erty for less than fair value will be
resisted all the way. 1t is inexcusable
TO tamper with those laws for the
purpose of finding ways and means
20 take the farmers land for less
han it's fair value. To the contrary,
f any change is indicated, it should
De to tighten rather than liberalize
he procedure. The Highway Depart
nent and others, particularly private
Utility companies, should be required
o more definitely and more clearly
prove that necessity exists.

Sears Union-Busting
Pays off In Lower
Company Earnings

The nine-months long union-bust-
| ing effort of Sears & Roebuck is be-
ginning to bear bitter fruit for Sears
stockholders. Net Earnings of the
nationwide chain, according to the
AFL-CIO Union Label & Service
Department, have dropped by 7.3
per cent, or $22,O0O,O0O.
Sears, with long history of anti
union activity, intensified it's cam
paign to run open shop early last
year in San Francisco when manage
ment by refusing to bargain in good
faith, forced Machinists employed
there to strike. The Retail Clerks re-
spected the lam picket lines. In due
time when the strike difficulty was
over, Sears refused to rehire many
scores of the Clerks.
Bit by bit, and due in large meas
ure to a nationwide boycott insti-
tuted by the RCIA and the AFL-CIO,
Sears has had to back up and has
already been forced to rehire more
than the 200 Clerks fired last May
for observing the lam picket line.
In the meantime the boycott goes
on. and Sears is learning slowly but
surely the bitter lesson that being
anti-union may be all right for some
politicians, but it does not enhance a
company's earning capacity.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-01-20

problem, and came up with pretty
sound answer. Oregon, for example,
back as far as 1921 amended their
Industrial Accident Law to provide
this: (1) establish a rehabilitation
fund from their own reserve, this to
be used to provide all needed rehabili-
tation services to selected cases; and
(2) set aside 21a 90 of their gross
annual earnings to this rehabilitation
fund. These funds are administered
by the rehabilitation agency, with
the approval of the Industrial Board.
OREGON SIGNIFICANT
Results of this change in the In
dustrial Act in Oregon have been
most significant. There over $3.50 of
all rehabilitated cases last year were
industrially injured, while the ma
tional average was mere $50!
Furthermore, they found that not
only were most of these cases re-
moved from compensation payments
and in some instances from public
assistance. these workers were now
paying taxes rather than spending
tax dollars. Some forty years ex-
perience under this program has
proven to the people of Oregon that
this was sound investment.
A similar change in our Industrial
Accident Law is to be introduced in
the 37th Legislative Assembly. This
would provide for rehabilitation
fund, coming from the reserve fund
of the Industrial Accident Board, to
be administered by the Bureau of
Vocational Rehabilitation. All such
funds will be earmarked solely for
case services for those industrially
injured workmen who are referred
for rehabilitation service. If enacted
this could mean that rs to 100 work
ers could be removed from compensa-
ton payments annually rather than
the present Is to 20. This makes real
sense. 1t merits favorable legislative
consideration.

industry continues to be serious
problem for workers in that industry.
Latest statistics made public by the
United clearinghouse Workers show
that while commercial meat produc-

OPTION LAW PROPOSAL
MAY HAVE MERIT

There may be wisdom in proposed
laws requiring that the Highway De-
partment in the future acquire option
on lands for right-of-way in advance.
If that had been attempted in the
Yellowstone Valley the land owners
there would not have been saddled
with this unnecessarily elaborate and
extravagant highway nor the taxpay-
ers required to pay for it. The reason
being that the land owners would not
give options for less than what their
property is worth. The Highway De-

TRAINING DELAY CAUSES
LOSS OF INCENTIVE

Obviously not all of these LAG in
jured workers would actually receive
rehabilitation services. Some would
not be interested, some would return
to their former work, and others
would not be feasible for such serv-
ice. Even so, this meant an extra IS
to 100 active training cases to be
added to an already sadly overtaxed
rehabilitation budget. For, although
having some 1850 disabled in active
service, the bureau had another 1,4OO
awaiting service! The result was that
only a portion of these 146 industrial
referrals could be provided with need
ed rehabilitation services at the time
of referral. This is most unfortunate.
The injured worker becomes dis
couraged and loses his incentive. He
continues to draw his compensation,
and in many instances when this is
exhausted he has no other recourse
than to accept public assistance to
care for his family.
Members of the Industrial Accident
Board, much concerned over this
problem, are trying to find a solu-
ton. They found that several other
states, as well as Canadian Provinces,
had been confronted by the same

CONTENDS DECISIONS BASED
ON "PHONY DATA"
This department is supposed to
furnish estimates for the public to
be presented at public hearings. The
public has a right to expect factual
information and on the basis of this
information to at least share in the
decision as to where the highway is
to be located. The public should not
be forced to accept a preconceived
bureaucratic decision based on phony
data. That is not the intent of the
law.
The Bureau of Public Roads ex-
poets accurate information to con-
cur in routings. 1t is time that they
were informed that the Montana
Highway Department is furnishing
them with guesses instead of ac-
curate information.
The Montana Highway Department
has repeatedly stated "of course we
expect to pay the farmers the fair
value of their land". Montana news
papers have repeated this idiotic
hypocrisy which no one believes. |
have also read a statement in the
press by an official of the Highway
to this effect-"Our
right-of-way people are shrewd bar
gamers. We will get the right-of-way
for as little as possible. Of course
we all know that but the inconsistent
cy of the two statements is obvious.
ARE WAKING UP
1t has long been the practice of
the Montana Highway Department
TO secure right-of-way at less than
fair price from gullible and intimi-
lated landowners. This will not hap
pen any more. We all will note the
pending condemnation proceedings.
There is three-year public record
If controversy and justified but ig-
nored protest by irrigated valley
landowners. The farmers are now
alerted. They know that they must
,bey the law and give up their prop
erty but they also know that the law,
is it exists is two-edged weapon. 1t
pecifically states that the owners
must receive the true value and out
ines the procedure by which true
yalue is to be determined.
There is no question that these
proceedings are going
o cost the Highway Department a
treat deal of money and result in de-
avs in construction. 1t is also evident
hat in spite of the fact that the fed
raj government is paying 80 per
ent of Interstate cost this doesn't
tier the fact that the burden is still |
With the taxpayer of Montana along
With all of the other taxpayers. This,
S before mentioned, is to fix the
lame for this unnecessary burden,
nd this blame is clearly with the
resent Highway Commissioners who
insisted on placing the route in the
nost expensive place possible. They
hoped that they would get
he farmer to bail them out by hand
ny over the right-of-way for less
han fair value as they had in the
asst.

knows that the cost of the right-of-

sired figure of $4,000 to one of

Soybeun Growers Urged
To Wutch Market Closely

De1awa ware soybean growers
should follow the market like q
wall Street stockbrOker" in or
der to get the highest price for
their beans.
This word of advice comes from
Ed Ralph, Sussex associate county
agricultural agent
Because of the record crop this
year, Ralph says the price to farm
ers during the heavy marketing
season will probably be around the
support price of $226 per bushel.
Hold beans off the market when
supplies are plentiful and prices
low, Ralph advises Move them
gradually into market channels as
prices rise.
"If enough beans are held of
t h e market, Ralph explains,
prices may rebound quickly from
the harvest glut. If so, it may pay
to sell beans early in the season
rather than carry them through
until spring."
