Referendum Vote Sparks Anaconda Referendum Mania
In Anaconda the referendum on a union contract draws unprecedented interest as 2500 members plan to vote today. Mayor Hasley orders saloons closed from sunrise to 8 pm during balloting while officials urge strict observance of the contract with A C M Co. International leaders Rankin and Davidson back union conservatism and stress the contract must be observed. A two thirds vote would indicate sentiment, not immediate action without international and local board endorsement.
