ENGLAND ALL READY
 FOR INVESTMENT BOOM

NEW YORK, March 16.-John Hays Hammond, cabling from London, says: "I think financial conditions in Eng. land are decidedly on the upgrade. There is an enormous quantity of money which has been hoarded in the past five years ready to let loose at favorable moment. l do not think that momentarily there is any money ready for speculative purposes, but the manner in which number of gilt.edge issues have lately been snapped up convinces me that when these are finally off the market cap. italists will welcome them with sup port. The slightest evidence of a gen uine market will be followed up by great hosts of small investors"

COAST FISHERMAN
 FORM ORGANIZATION

J. T. Barron. head of the big can neries at Funter Bay. passed through Juneau on the Spokane with quite a number of men that are to be em- ployed in the big establishment. Mir. Barron is very much enthused over the outlook for the fishing industry as a result of the great "get-together' meeting that took place in the New Washington Hotel, Seattle. Friday ey- ening. March 13.
 We have organized" said Mir. Bar ren. "aH of the Pacific coast fisheing interests under the name of the Pacif' ic Fisheries Association. This organi- zation takes in everyone connected with the business. including the work ing fisherman. Our idea is to pro- mote harmony between the employers and employees and between the differ ent operators to the end that a more systematic method of doing business can be brought about and everyone get his just dues. Under the lack of system and cooperation that has ex- isted there has been a continual loss both to the operators and the work ing fishermen who supply fish for the packers. The organization takes in the operators and workers engaged in taking every kind of food fish in the Pacific"
 After the formation of the big asso- citation, those engaged in the salmon packing industry of Alaska proceeded to organize. At this second meeting nearly every section of Southeastern Alaska was present. It is the inten- tion to take every packer in Alaska into the organization which is known as the Association of Salmon Packers of Alaska. J. T. Barron was elected president of this organization.
