Montana National Guardsmen from medical units at Helena, Great Falls and Bozeman had been activated to report to the Boulder River School and Hospital. The union workers at the school had voted for a walk-out from their jobs the night before. Earlier that day I had a conversation in Helena with Ernie Post, director of COPE (the Council On Political Education). COPE is affiliated with the AFL-CIO. Ernie had just com pleted his lobbying efforts for labor at the Montana Legislature. I had met Ernie while serving as assistant chief clerk of the House of Represen tatives. I had stopped in to his office to say goodbye before leaving Helena. Ernie had been up early into the morning communicating with union officials on issues concerning the strikes at Boulder, Warm Springs and the state prison at Deer Lodge. Calls from the governor’s office and union officials frequently interrupted our conversation. It must have been tough on him. A state labor crisis the day after the Legislature adjourned. I was called to Boulder that day as a guardsman to fill in for the strikers. There were 158 of us bunked in dilapidated dormitories. The decor was nursery school graffitti and crumbling plaster. We consoled ourselves by commenting on how ef ficient the heating was and what a good job our fellow guardsmen were doing at the boiler plant. After setting up my cot I started over to the makeshift headquarters at the institution’s administrative building to check in. As I walked across the grounds, I heard a group of children running after me. I remember the 1st Sergeant at the dormitory asking if I had gone through the orientation that volunteers at the institution had set up for the guardsmen working at the Hospital. I hadn’t, but as the irregular footsteps came closer I wished I could have been in the front row of the lecture room where the orientation was taking place.
