Midland Empire Petitioners Want To Know
Where Does Battin Stand
On 'Riqht-to-Work' Issue?

eve are not interested in sitting
idly by while a right-to-work law
is sneaked in either nationally or on
state basis as was done by the
Wyoming State Legislature in the
last session.
''It should be pointed out" hurry
added, "that rfgnt-to-work is a mis-
homer. All that such a law gives a
union man or any working person is
the right to work more cheaply., The
average wage per capita in the states
that have adopted these vicious laws
has gone down, not up as some would
have us believe"
hurry went on, we are par
ticularly disturbed that Mr.. Battin
should belong to such an organiza-
ton as YAF, that lists among its
advisors six prominent members of
the John Birch Society: Robert
Dresser, Julius Epstein, General
Bonner Fellers, J. Bracken Lee,
Mrs. Seth Milliken and E. Merrill
Root. With such evidence as this,
we feel it is high time that the Re-
publican party and its leaders like
Mr.. Battin disassociate themselves
from such John Birch-dominated
organizations.
"Mr. Welch, leader of the John
Birch Society, has said, Dwight Eli
senhower was a Communist dupe;
Allen Dulles, Ike appointed head of
the Central Intelligence Agency, was
a conscious agent of the Communist
party; and so on ad nauseum. 1t
would SEEM" hurry concluded,
'sthat any self-respecting Republican
would repudiate such an organization
and those people who follow the ridic-
ulous John Birch line"

Governors Double Standard
Is Pulling To Butte Citizens

BUTTE Especially - The
avalanche of print which re-
suited from the Borden speech
is causing many Butte people
to wonder why two professors
of the School of Mines have
escaped journalistic notice.
Butte people are also asking
why Gov. Babcock, who was
so articulate in demanding that
Borden get out of Montana,
has been so noticeably quiet
over controversial utterances
by the two Mines profs.
The two professors are Douglas
Harnish, head of the Petroleum Engi-
neering Department, and Gustave
Stolz. Harnish, until he was defeated
at the school election, April 6, was
also chairman of the Butte School
District No. 1 board.
During the recent legislative ses-
sion both Harnish and Stolz actively
supported Rep. Schye's HB 361 which
proposed Stacking all public en-
ployees with "right-to work" law.
Harnish appeared before the House
Labor Committee and gave strong
backing to the bill. Stolz wrote let
tiers to Silver Bow legislators in sup
port of 361, and at the same time
condemned the Butte Teachers Union
which has been most instrumental
over the years in improving salary
levels and working conditions.

supporter of right-wing causes, has
a close philosophical bond with

with his publicly-expressed anti
pathy for Borden's more progress

HARNISH STAND BROUGHT
OUT DURING CAMPAIGN

Two major reasons are seen for
Harnish and his fellow United Party
school board members being reduced
from a 4-3 majority to a So minority
at the April school election.
One of these was Harnish's pro
"right-to-work' stand before the leg
islative committee which was publicly
brought to light in Butte by State
Rep. Tom Tracy in a TV speech.
The other reason behind the Glory"
debacle was As board action on
March 27 to fire Maurice Driscoll,
active Teachers Union leader, from
his post as vocational co-ordinator.
The United majority voted for his
dismissal and the Independent Party
trio against.
Mainly because of the Driscoll
firing and the Harnish anti-union
action, Butte people became very
interested in the school election with
the result that all three Independent
candidates Kelvin Shannon, Frank
McHugh and Scotty Lochrie-were
elected. United Party incumbents,
Prof. Harnish and Robert Vivian
were defeated. Shannon, who led all
vote-getters, was an incumbent indie
pendent.
Following the election, one Butte
observer summed up the result
thusly: "Crucifixions aren't stylish,
and Butte isn't a 'right-to-work'
town"

ited on IL alternatives, ranging
from a wilderness waterway pro-
posed by the National Park Serv-
ice, with no appointments, to
three dams which would utilize the
entire $50 feet of head in the Mis-
souri, and provide more than one
million kilowatts of installed ca
pacity.
Last Friday the Department of In
terror and Corps of Engineers re-
leased a 60-page information bulle-
tin, including maps, summarizing the
findings and the IL alternatives.
Copies are available-while they last
from Senator Mansfield and Sena-
tor Metcalf, or from Harrell Mos
baugh, regional co-ordinator, Mis-
souri, Basin Region, Department of
Interior, Billings. Copies are already
being mailed to persons who pre-
viously expressed interest in the
study. Following consideration of
public views at the forthcoming hear
ings, and the views of state and other
interested agencies, a field report
will be sent to Washington. Then
perhaps early next year-a report
and recommendation will be made
to Congress and made public.

DRISCOLL INDICATED

Monday night of this week a hear
ing was held on the Driscoll matter
at which the longtime Butte teacher
was completely indicated, even
though the United Party was still in
control pending reorganization this
coming Saturday. No member of the
United Party would give testimony
under oath as to the alleged "rea-
sons" why Driscoll should not be re-
hired. One witness was willing to
quote unidentified teachers who
had repeatedly been critical of Dris-
coll, but heresay was ruled out. Only
verified statements were allowed, and
as result, United's case crumbled.
