sometime around April /, 1864, under
present plans.
'9The Building Committee has
worked hard on this plan. We have
explored all types of plans and loca-
tions, and believe we have come up
with the finest and most modern
union hall in Montana" Rossman
stated. Gwen though we are the old
est local in the country, we will have
the most up-to-date local offices.
Since the first of this year we have
already installed automatic bookkeep-
ing and record equipment for dues
accounting; and have completely
modernized our record system"

per cent of the beef consumed in the
United States is imported, 'tthe i'm

compete with choice steer beef on

Primary blame for the current
low price of beef" he said, lies
ION the production cycle which is
now at a peak, rather than on the
amount of imports
Cutting imports, he continued,
would increase the price of "cow
beef" only about 2.7 per cent, or
55 cents per hundredwheight.
DOUBTS IF CHOICE BEEF
SALES WOULD GAIN
The MISC economist, the Helena
daily's report continued, expressed
doubt that if beef imports were cur
tailed that the consumers dollar
would be diverted to better kinds of
beef which is produced in this coun-
try.
Instead" he said, "the consumer
who is using cheap imported beef
might instead turn to poultry, pork
or some other substitute for beef.
3tIn addition" he said, under pres
ent law the Secretary of Agriculture
has no power to cut the rate of beef
imports for economic reasons. He
may, however, hold imports out of
the country for sanitary reasons"
If beef imports were curtailed,
DR.. Fischer said, this country might
feel retaliation from foreign coun-
tries in some other area of world
trade.
He pointed out that this country is

There is grave doubt as to
the validity of assertions by
Cong. Jim Battin and Gov. Tim
Babcock that beef imports are
an important cause of what
Cong. Battin refers to as the
Serious situation" facing the
Montana cattleman.
Babcock contends that ga tariff
reduction" on beef imports "would
be severe blow to Montana's econ
omy and that of all other states in
which beef production is of major
economic Importance.
Battin points to decline of 1857
per hundredweight for choice steers
at Chicago, according to the Helena
INDEPENDENT RECORD. By infer
ence he questions the accuracy of a
Department of Agriculture finding
that only 81 cents of that 1857 is
attributable ssto imports and COM
petition of pork and broilers." (Our

of one cent per pound is chargeable
not only to imports, but pork and

Stating that a craft is only as good

State Council of Carpenters took
steps to strengthen the apprenticeship

which says selection of apprentices
should be made from qualified appli-
cants on the basis of qualifications
alone without regard to race, color,
creed or national origin, in accord
ance with objective standards which

SAYS STATE LAW NEEDS
Carpenters delegates earlier in the
week had heard Commissioner of La
Dor, Maurice Jones, say, ''It gripes
me when an out-of-stater can come in
and get contract for $4,000 less
and then short change his employees.
Jones said when the final decision
was read it sounded like it had been
written in Houston, Texas. Jones told
Carpenters the state law needs re-
vising.
He expressed regret that the At
torney General had refused to take
the case to the State Supreme Court.

WHY THE DIFFERENTIAL?

The Canadian gas was purchased
at &c cents a thousand cubic feet
while Montana wells get five to eight
cents. And Montana wells are COM
ing in all over the place. More en-
phasis on purchase of Montana gas
could materially benefit the BETTER
BUSINESS CLIMATE of Montana's
gas-producing areas.

having unSuual problems this
year with flea beetles, cut
worms, wireworms, and some

up.
For those farmers who have
set their tobacco and wire
worms have become a prob

they spray, broadcast, using l
pound actual Parathion per
acre reridging and resetting.
You can use either 2 quarts
of 25Ps Parathion or l quart of
Dizzinon in the water as n
spray.
This will be enough materi-
al for l acre. After spraying
and rcridging, wait at least
three days before setting again.
