Syrup Totals
Only 65% of
Usual Amount

Geauga county'S maple
season is nearing end with
IS per cent of a normal crop
of syrup made.
Ture Johnson, vice preSid-
ent of the Geauga Maple FeS-
tival and resident State for
ester, said a normal crop is
$4,000 to 100000 gallons.
The fall was dry with
hardly any moisture in the
ground. There is a stronger
maple taste now and many
producers are making a high
grade of syrup. Several pro-
ducerS, however, have quit
for the season because Of the
small sap dribbleS. Where
they should be getting 80 bar
relS they are obtaining only
20.
It's a matter of economics
as several producers pay for
sap gathering and it is not
financially sound to con-
tinue with the small amount
of sap availale. There has
cen only one great ig run
during the entire season.
IF people are deSirouS of
getting some good maple
syrup they should be in Char
don park next Sunday.

AFL-CIO Convention
Miller Condemns Attempts
To Short CHANGE Education

"AFL-CIO unions are very happy
we had the wisdom and foresight
to endorse her, and said she chad
thrown politics out the window" dur
ing the legislature and fought for
the school children of Montana.
Miss Miller said she would fight
any attempts to short change the
"cut rate education for the chill
dren of Montana.
Referring to the difficulties of the
1861 Legislature in arriving at a
school aid appropriation, Miss Miller
commended s'the determined efforts
of legislators on both sides of the
aisle to provide enough funds in an
equitable manner for schools"
"But," she continued, ri am sorry
to say that there seems to be an
attempt on the part of a few self
seeking politicians to make politi-
cal issue of school support. This, /
believe, is both unfortunate and I'M
wise, because all good citizens, re-
CARELESS of their politics, are inter
ested in good schools. want to assure
the parents of Montana school chill
dren that I will continue to oppose
attempts to inject politics into school
affairs, and that | will continue to
administer the office of State Super
intendent as | have done in the past,
entirely without regard to political
considerations and with the best in
terest of the schools first and fore
most.
Miss Miller pointed out that Mon
tana schools are educating half again
as many children as ten years ago.
"There are enough extra pupils now
to require Montana to add one more
teacher and one more classroom every
two days, just to keep up, she stated.
eff Montana is to provide quality
education of a standard satisfac-
tory to the vast majority of our
citizens, adequate financial support
must mean more than mere words,
and the next legislature must not
put off the day of reckoning" Miss
Miller concluded.

OPPOSE RAIL MERGER,
GAS RATE INCREASE
Final Feed Grain
Report Tops Coal

WASHINGTON, D. C.--(NFU)-
The Department of Agriculture has
announced that the final weekly re-
port on the 1861 feed grain program
shows 26,687,682 acres signed to be
diverted into soil conserving uses on
1,172,165 farms.
This represents $3.50 of the total
U. S. acreage of corn and grain sor-
ghum, we'll above the Administrator
goal of 209o.
The USDA figures show that about
458o of the eligible farmers partici-
pated in the program and diversion
averaged about 41%o of the base
acreage on the farms signed up.
Farmers who planted over $3.50 of
the corn average the last two years
are participating in the program. In
the six major corn states, participa-
ton averaged over 709o. This in
cludes Missouri, 85%; Nebraska,
81%; Kansas, 1870; Iowa, 500;
Minnesota, 500; and Illinois, 629o.

Renne Tells AFL-CIO
Montana, Only One
Of 80 To Cut Back
On Higher Education

DR.. R. R. Renne, last Friday, told
the Montana State AFL-CIO's 9th
annual convention that when fees
are increased to students to too great
an extent they get away from the
charter and the main purpose of
Land grant colleges as they were es-
tablished. This purpose was to serve
the sons and daughters of the work
ing classes, and for this purpose land
grant colleges were the only ones to
get money from the federal govern
ment to apply on the instruction
budget.
In the beginning the $4,000 al
lotted from the federal government
to Montana State College was size
able percentage of the instruction
budget, he said, but today with SO
many more students it isn't such
large portion. Renne said there are

Few Krong-Doers
Found In Unions,
State AFL-OO Told

Sam Eubanks, u. S. Department
of Labor, told the AFL-CIO con-
vention there were $4,000 labor
organizations registered under the
Landrum- Griffin Act and to date
there have been 3,O52 investiga-
tions carried out because of COM
plants filed with the Labor De-
partment.
Two-thirds of the complaints in
vestigated disclosed no reason for
criminal or civil action and in
1,139 of the cases the bureau found
what they considered to be viola
tions of the law. OF the 1,139, he
said most were settled promptly
by compliance.
Only a handful of cases have
reached the courts, according to
the Department of Labor repre-
sentative, and the figure of .1,139
complaints does not mean 1889
organizations were involved, he
said, because there could be as
many as five violations on each
charge.
Less than go of the registered
labor organizations have even been
brought this close to a brush with
the act", Eubanks said, "and out
of the 2% an insignificant frac-
ton has not been willing to COM
ply.
THAT is significant answer to
those who sponsored this law and
their conviction there was lot
wrong with American Trade Un-
ions, Eubanks concluded.

The Board of Examiners is going
to have the Capitol telephone PIX
complex use direct dial. Don't you
wish everyone would?
Telephone representatives informed
the Examiners Wednesday that the
direct dialing long distance system
is going to cost the state an addi-
tional 5000 year to pay for the
80" number system of billing. The
80" number is given for each ex-
tention or person authorized to make
calls at state expense. This is required
because of the seven number limita-
ton to the Bell system dial equip
ment. The Capitol phone number is
442-326O, however each department
must account for it's own phone bill
so in addition to the extension num-
Der the "Qo number will be required
to bill either Standardization or
person-to-person calls.
This change over to direct dialing
will begin in Helena and Billings on
November 10.
The mail problem created by the
last Legislatures economy hinge is
apt to cause more confusion and
waste than anyone can imagine at
the moment. With large quantities
of money mail moving in and out

fund dispensing departments the SUBJ
station personnel will be sorely
missed.

Leary told the labor delegates it
was time ITO quit pussy footing
around with those who are not men,
bers of our organization" and said
it was time for labor to plan their
own program on what they think and
not on what someone else thinks.
HITS NON-AFFILIATED
LABOR GROUPS
Aiming his remarks at labor groups
not affiliated with the AFL-CIO as
well as outside anti-union forces
such as the National Chamber of Com
merce and the National Association
of Manufacturers, Leary said, "our
enemies are going to tear us down
and tear us down fast, unless day
by day we work united as members
of organized labor bringing about a
program of reason, and added, 81
do not think our policies should be
decided by what the Mine-Mill thinks

manager of the Operating Engineers

The almost unanimous support of
the Hotel and Restaurant Workers
Union in behalf of Baldwin was the
decisive factor in his election.
1t was difficult to attach any
specific point of policy variance be-
tween the two candidates as the cam
paigning proceeded.
If there had been opposition to
TIMBER, it was generally accepted it
would have been Baldwin.
Delegates who were questioned
as to why the opposition to TIMBER
evaporated, said he gained consid-
cradle stature in the labor move
ment over the manner in which
he handled himself during the
4 legislature when Republican Sem
ator Cashmere caused TIMBER to
be brought to the well of the Sem
ate on a charge of threatening.
The convention voted approval of
Umber's handling of the affair.
Elected besides the president and
vice president were the executive
board comprised of members repre-
senting IL districts in the state. Each
district nominated their own board
member and the convention accepted
