''This whole thing" English con-
tinued. "seems to be an insidious
plot to defeat worthy labor legisla-
ton or to pass punitive measures
against labor.
"We do not condone the practice
of anyone making threats to promote
or defeat legislation. Nor do we con-
done the practice of labor leaders
being accused of such tactics in order
to defeat or promote legislation af-
fecting labor.

ton should be made of this whole af-
fair which APPARENTLY has as it's real
goal the discrediting of the working
man, English concluded.

Mernin Labels MoFkmen's
Comp. Bill a Farce

If a man works as a garbage col
lector and contracts polio as result,
HB 14O will assure his family they
will not get payments under the In
dustrial Accident provisions of the
state law. If man inhales fumes,
chokes and has heart attack on the
job, lao will exclude him from bene-
fits.
But the bill will increase payments
to those with accepted" injuries
from SOC to $3.50 week, leaving
payments under the act below mini
mum standards of decency provided
by the Welfare Department.
Henry Mernin (D-Silver Bow
termed the increases a farce, so
the corporations could get the amend
ment into the law taking the above
types of injuries out.

Piracy Of Hail Fund Is

| has always been on its own. Farmers
have built the reserves in the fund
through their premiums for hail in
surance protection, he said.
The only claim of government;sis
in the assessors offices, Aasheim
stated. 81 do not believe there has
ever been any extra help put on for
this purpose.
He said, 81 believe the buccan-
GERS of old would wonder what they
had missed those who believe
in piracy today may someday have
to walk the gangplank".
Claims by Republicans that the
State Insurance Commissioner sets
the rates for private insurance COM
panies are wrong, Aasheim said. Pri-
vate insurance company rates are
set by firm in Chicago, both sides
admitted.
The attempt to save the Hail In
surance Board was supported by
Leonard Bashor (D-Toole), Charles
Cerovski (D-Fergus), Virgil Hanks
(D-Gallatin), Kermit Daniels Cd
PowelD, Lawrence Stimatz (D-Silver

in favor of saving the Hail Board in

VOCAL PIRATES" LISTED
The fight to abolish the board was
carried by Murray, Dan Dykstra R
Lewis & Clark, Jerome Anderson
Yellowstone) M. F. Keller (R-
Cascade), and Winfield Page (R-Mis-
soula). (Note: All are legislators from
areas not generally attacked by hail,
or where farmer votes are not con-
clusive.)
In favor of abolishing the board
in previous arguments before the
House included Reps. Schye (R-
Meagher), Blewett (R-Cascade), Lu-
cas- (R-Missoula) and Kvaalen (R-
Richland).
Hanks, in opposing adjustment,
said there is nothing to prove that
the past might not recur if the board
is abolished. The Hail Board was
set up in 1917 because private in
surers could not insure at reasonable
rates, and would not insure in many
Instances.
Truman Bradford perhaps summed
up the situation best when he said he
had learned imam is not required to
do useless act", and regardless of
what Democrats did there was moth
ing they could do about saving the
Hail Insurance Board in the House.

WHY NOT VOTES BY
STOCKHOLDERS?

Ernest Salvas, International Board
member of the Mine-Mill and Smelter
Workers, told the committee that
Mine-Mill members vote ON every
matter within their unions. He said
-HB 139 does not say that employer
groups must hold an election or that
the stockholders that elect manage
ment must vote before their business
makes an offer in union negotiations.
The Employers Association at
torney, Al Libra, intimated Graybill
would be guilty of an. unfair labor
practice if he advised his laborlclients
to take advantage of the provisions
of this law that would make situations
more difficult.
Senator William Hafferman Cd
Lincoln) asked the Helena Employer
Association attorney how many
strikes his group had had in recent
years, and the fur started to fly for
a few minutes when the question was
evaded. Libra said the Foley strike
could have been avoided and the
Billings strike at the 'tTurf'' was an
other example. He pleaded ignorance
of the Helena situation because he
has only been here a short time.
Senator Frank Reardon (D-Silver
Bow asked why SB 139 only applied
to labor and is so zone sided".
Libra said it wasn't intended to be
that way, and it Should be amended
so it is not one-sided". ~

Labor spokesman advised the
legislative committees that unions
have secret ballots on all union af-
fairs, including strike situations
and during strike five or six bal
lots may be taken in two or three
days.
James TIMBER, president of the
State AFL-CIO, pointed out that 80
per cent of grievances are settled
now by existing contractual machin-
cry or by arbitration. He pointed out
the bills take no notice of economic
weapons used by management, such
as lockouts and whipsaws to force
settlement of labor disputes.

SUBTERFUGE RIDDLED

Magnus Aasheim (D-Sheridan)
carried the fight against 167 and
riddled the arguments of those who
would abolish the Hail Board and alb
scond with the two million dollars.
He said the state has absolutely
no claim on the Hail Insurance funds,
because the board has paid rent,
which includes light and heat.
State credit has never been used

STRIKE IMPACTS

said the bills make the assumption
that work stoppages are terrible,
cause economic loss and are bad, but
the economic impact of strikes has
been exaggerated, that the experts
tell US they have had but small i'm
pact on the economy.
He said the bills assume employees
are not informed ON the issues, but
any employee who wants to be in
formed can be and is at the present
time. 81 have never participated in
a labor dispute where votes have not
been by secret ballot, he said.
The doctrine of federal pre-
emption was discussed by both
TIMBER and Graybill. They con-
tended Taft-Hartley and the Land
rum-Griffin bill supersede the
states in this field.
Graybill pointed TO three dis-ad-
vantage situations that might arise
from such bills as these:
The provision that the union must
give at least six days notice of a
strike he called ''dastardly'' to the
unions. Unions under intelligent
guidance would give notice the first
day and call for an election while the
members were enthused and optimis-
tic and before there was any chance
of deterioration of unity among the
members, he said. Why not have an
election while the members want soc
instead of waiting until they are
ready to settle for &c? he asked.
Graybill was not sure just when
or what a .last offer would be.
IF they reject proposition do we
have to have a strike under this
bill? 81 think this bill will curb
and curtail negotiations these
things are matter for bargain
ing, he said.
He said the bill would not apply
to strikes like the copper strike or
any you can name now in Montana.
'It is dangerous, it is unfair and the
way it is drawn would not stop any
major strike around here.

Two body blows were deliv-

day when the House passed
House Bill 167 that will abol-

and HB 131 that would tax

publicans stood fast protecting"
their Interpretation of ''free enter.
prise" from farmer self-help pro-
grams.
Marshall Murray (R-Flathead) led
off on HB 167 to abolish the State
Hail Board by saying the bill had
"no hidden meaning. He said it was
"a kill 'em dead bill'', and that he
"made no bones" about the fact Re-
publicans "are going to take the 3d.
100000 of reserves in the fund.
"This is progress, he said. az
C. G. Stranahan (D-Chouteau)
said Murray should have added after
he had killed them dead, "and pick
their pockets.
No discussion of the Hail Insur-
ance board can take place without
discussion of the two million dollars
of reserves the Republicans are eying
to balance the state budget. They in
sist this money belongs to the State
of Montana, because the Hail Insur-
ance Board ''has used the credit of
the State of Montana to build the
reserve.

At 2ooo, 30 May the CLOvEn departed Adak for Bristol Bay to complete the spring aids to navigation work. M. Dave Humphrey of WECO was on board for transportation to Atka. At O646 the 31st we moored at Atka. Dave departed and Father Vladimir, the Russian Orth- odox priest from Dutch Harbor came aboard for transportation. At O8O7 we departed, and arrived at Dutch Habor al 1926 June lst. After Father Vladimir departed we talked with Mir. Don Wri gh1 who had leased the entire island of UT alaska for grzing purposes. He had
 transported some sheep and pure bred Morgan sta1lions to the island and intended to increase his herd peri iod- ically by hauling sheep from Prince Rupert, B. C.. to Dutch Harbor.

few critics Of any such jour-
ney by an American Presi-
dent will be found here.
Vice President johnson
seems rather expansive In his
assurances to friendly gov
ernments, but his former
colleagues are used to the
grand Johnson style and feel
sufficiently confident Of his
political acumen not to worry
about him. The Laos minuet
at Geneva is an embarrass-
ment, but they had already
written. off a true victory
there for the West.
Judgment must be sus-
pended about the possibility
of a Kennedy-KhruShch
conformation following the
Kennedy call on General de
Gaulle. No authoritative
source here is ready to say
why it will or will not take
place. There is considerable
skepticism about its useful
ness in much the same terms
that the President himself
formerly employed.
A fairly firm report is now
in circulation that the Presi-
dent will address Congress
before he goes to France.
Some Of the more imagina-
tive sources suggest that in
it the President will offer a
semi-war program of con-
trolls and censorship.

Secretary of State refuses

simply naive, excitable men,

this new lot.
So President Kennedy
faces a great imperative Of
