Gibbons, in sharply critical COM

charged that George Meany & Co.,

when they failed to make an about

anti-labor Landrum-Griffin bill from
passing. Now, in 1868, he continued,
much of the labor movement is ION

phasized, the movement must get
back to the fundamentals that made
the movement in the first place.
Labor isn't "doing enough to reach
solutions" he stated. Existing unions
are mot organizing enough of the
unorganized millions who have no
security on their jobs have in

Looking at the nations several

backlog of unemployed and the in
creasing number of Americans join

that President Kennedy estimates
that at least $4,000 new jobs must
be developed each week the next 10
years. The Ford Foundation sets an
even larger figures of $4,000, and
Leon Keyserling, chairman of the
Economic Council under
Harry Truman, sets the figure at
$4,000 new jobs each week.
Unless we can create these new
jobs, he said, because of automa-

OBLIGATION TO GET OUT
I'm THE FIELD
Gibbons, who is also president of
the st. Louis 9,600-member Teamster
local, told delegates to the state
council meeting that it is an "obliga-
ton of the national office force" to
"get out in the field regularly +.
to give accounts of our stewardship
and to keep abreast of problems"
of the rank-and-file.
Stating that the IBT, with it's l.
$4,000 members is ''the biggest
union in the world, and is growing"
the International official said 1--WE
believe we have an obligation to go
out and organize the unorganized,
and to work increasingly to build
better standards" for those who are
already members.
Referring to the continuing at
tacks on the Teamsters over the
past seven years, Gibbons contend
ed that the IBT is "the backbone
of the labor movement" and that
if it's back can be broken it fol-
lows that anti-labor forces will be
able to ''break the rest of the labor
movement"
Aware of the stakes involved, he
assured his banquet audience that the
executive board of IBT is united,
and will continue united" not only to
protect wages and working conditions
of union people from destruction, but
also to add strength in constantly
pressing for better wages, improved
Job security, more comprehensive

or the same amount as national
studies indicate.
"a national average price of $1.00
per bushel was used for the same
reason and reduced as in the Eyes"
figures to a Montana level. The same
yield per acre was used as in the
case of the referendum being ap-
proved" Matheson said in explain
ing how the figures were obtained.
Using this basis to determine the
outcome of mo" vote in the refer
endum, Matheson said, "The total
wheat income for the state would
be $85,052, 16O, or $52,453,106 less
than the income our farmers could
expect if the referendum carried"

COUNTY $5.5 MILLION
To show how marked would be the
effect on some of the principal wheat
producing counties, Matheson empha-
sized that Chouteau county alone
would have $5,560,809 less income

REPUBLICANS HAVE
10th CENTURY CONCEPTS

Stating that the Republican party
is new in Montana, Kelly said it is
a goth Century organization with a
10Th Century program. He reviewed
what he called the violent changes
on the Montana political scene since
1858 when the Anaconda Company
lessened it's Montana operations and
it's participation in this states poll
tics. The Montana Power has as
sumed the dominant political posi-
ton, he said, and by working through
conservative organizations and civic
groups they have modified and they
communicate.
He said they can have a rumor on
every main street in Montana in one
days time and from there into the
precincts, which is what Republicans
did in 1860 and 1862.
Democrats must believe more
deeply, act more often, or they
will become the minority party in
Montana, Kelly said.

Mrs. Metcalf told of her work with
Friendship House in Washington
where community understanding is
being promoted between the white
and black people who live side by
side. Among other projects the tai
ents of colored people are developed
through education and the arts, as
supplement to programs aimed at
better community understanding.
Both the Senator's wife and DR..
Kelly spoke about the perspective"
of the natioaal debt in relationship
to the wealth and ability of the ma
ton to handle it.
Kelly compared the national debt
family and the ability of each to carry
any given amount. Mrs. Metcalf said
the national debt today can not be
compared in dollars to what it was
in 1910 and maintain the proper
perspective.
AS another example of perspec-

be conservative but 800 of the

BIRDS IN JEOPARDY =
The month of December will be
a bad month for most of the birds.
During this month hunting season
on quail, ducks, geese, coots,
doves, woodcock and Wilson's
snipe will be open.
On December 2, hunters had
their try this year at quail and
ducks. From all preseason re-
ports, Mississippi hunters should
have excellent seasons on both
birds.
The recent rains and cold wea-
Their should really bring the ducks
into our state. The Ducks Unlimi-
ted organization reports that this
years flight of duck will be the
heaviest since 1857. The popula-
ton appears to be the best seen
in the Canadian proviences for
the past five to six years.
Mississippi's duck season open
ed at 1900 noon on December
2, and will run through sunset
January A., 1864. This years IS
day season is an increase of ten
days over last years season.
Hunters will also have an increas-
ed bag limit of four ducks this
year. From all reactions of duck
hunters that we have talked to,
the longer season and increased
bag limit should renew a lot OF
interest in the waterfowl sport
this yean.
