Labor groups urge special Montana legislative session
At a general conference Bruce I Steinmetz of Cascade Trades and Labor Assembly and Rep Gene Burris urged calling a special Montana session to pass a retroactive unemployment insurance law before January 1. They warn Montana would lose 700000 to 1000000 dollars in federal funds without state action. Governor Holt favors delay unless benefits justify extra costs. The new legislature starts January 4 and a retroactive law will be discussed with Washington authorities. The federal act is part of National Security Act and unrelated to the old age pension law.
