Missile Base
Strikes Drop
To New Low
By DUANE EMME, In LABOR

The Presidents Missile Site La
Dor Commission has established a
"good record" in sharply reducing
work stoppages by employees of
private contractors at missile bases
during the 10 months it has been
in existence, Secretary of Labor
Arthur Goldberg reports.
He also cited figures to back up
his contention before a conference
of labor editors and writers, held
in Washington under the sponsor
ship of the Labor Department.
Further, Goldberg praised lead
ers of unions for their co-operation
in helping TO irsn out disputes. He
said the voluntary approach taken
by the Commission is much bet
ter" than anything that could be
accomplished by drastic legisla-
ton.
you're dealing here with con-
struction workers in out-of-the-
way places, the Secretary ex-
planned. Penalties just won't work
the job is to keep the labor
force on these sites"
As to the figures, Goldberg
pointed out that from June 1861
through March 1962-the Commits
sion's existence to date-there was
only one man-day lost by stoppages
at missile sites for every 927 man.
days worked.
For the 10-month period before
the Commission was established-
June 1860 through March 1861
the ratio was one man-day lost for
every lat worked, he said.
Finally, the Secretary noted that
the recent record of one man-day
lost for every 927 worked at mis-
sile sites is a loss ratio of only
one-tenth of one per cent, which
is superior to the loss ratio of al
most two-tenths of one one per
cent for all industry in the u. S.
in 1860.
Incidentally, the missile site fig
ure also is the record low for time
lost in all industry in a single year.

was carried for miles to be poured
for the witness. A house made valid
claim, so the house was seen, but
the full report as to the foundation
which were wheels for rolling to the

These abuses and those of the
Timber Act which had crews of men

more in the spirit of the engravings
of the U. S. Mint rather than the
spirit of the leaders of our govern
ment and their laws.
One hundred years have passed and
the results of the liberal actions of
Lincoln have left their beneficial mark
on Montana. Give the people of the
world a chance and they will make
us proud of having been alive in this
exciting new times which have their
foundation in liberalism. The missile
site where the homesteader's shanty
once stood is indeed discouraging but
the vitality of our youth will not be
dissipated crouching in bomb shell
tiers. They must seek out the liberality
which comes from being truly edu-
Gated and also give themselves to the

age which keeps the peoples of other
nations from enjoying the progress
brought to the world by liberals such
as Lincoln.

creased in number to sip the coffee
and bread. The shack was replaced
by stone house. The preacher came
around in the fall after the threshing
crew came through. The fish man
came by in a wagon and the bucket
of salt herring was purchased to give
some taste to the winters potatoes.
The pea vines hung to dry from the
rafters and the pig was killed to make
head cheese.
Domestic science did not consist
of warming up TV dinner, and the
key to survival on homestead rested
with the woman who could perform
these complicated tasks with little
or no equipment in the modern sense.
Sickness struck and the family had
to move to Belt for attention but the
space in town was not within their
price range. Eric built a shack on
pilings in the creek. The landowner
of most the town came down to OBJ

He also had no claim to rent.

1t was one hundred years ago thi
coming Sunday that Abraham Lin
coin signed the Homestead Act into
law. AS with any truly wonderful
visionary act of man it took little
while before the established authority
could recognize the benefits which
would occur by being of liberal mine
toward humanity. r.
The Homestead Act was the culmi-
nation of the endeavors of score OF
years by the labor movement and the
land reformers who had the assist
ance of the economist-writer, George
Henry Evans. Buchanan had vetoed
similar act-but Lincoln saw its
merits even in time of national
strife. ts+ =
Agriculture is the basic economic
asset of Montana. The spring rains
are the headline feature of the
GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE. When
the farmer prospers so does Main
Street. This relationship was dramati-
cally brought home by the tragic
downswing of town profits after the
last two years of drought on our
plains. 1bFE@f f{a2. .
The Homestead Act was a major
interest of our earliest Legislatures.
On Saturday, Dec. IL, 1869, our third
Territorial Governor, James Mitchell
Ashley, told his Legislature that they
should emulate the new state of Min
nesota and actively recruit emigrants
from the Scandinavian countries.
Ashley, in his ignorance, was fearful
of the Chinese and asked the Legis1a-
ture to impose a SIS per quarterly
tax on their laundries. 80 IA 4
He had contacted, Benne Speyer,
Esq, of New York Cityu(an early
day gray flannel suit on Madison
Avenue) to act as an immigration
officer for Montana and to write
of our inducements in several foreign
languages. AS per usual Montana had
no money for such promotions.
The populace at that time was
rowing bunch. The earlier trappers
had been replaced by miners who

David d. Carpenter in 1868 filed
The first homestead claim in the |
Helena valley where the present |
Lewis and Clark county hospital now
stands. But Montana was not a very
popular place for agriculturists until

Custer was killed in 1876,

Then came the railroads and the
