The cotton textile code greatly
Increased the cost of producing
cotton cloth. 1t raised wages
and shortened hours. Further
more the processing tax on the
manufacture of cotton has added
millions of dollars to the cost of
putting cloth on the market.
All this has meant an increase
IN the prices charged to con-
Sumers, result that has been
intensified by the price boosting
tactics fostered by the "codes"
all along the line.
Two results were inevitable,
and were pointed out long ago
in this column and elsewhere.
ut needed no experimental
approach" to find them Out.)
First, production has been en-
cOuraged by high prices. Sec
Ond, consumption has been dis
cOuraged by high prices.
These two results mean "over-
production"
Like an ostrich sticking its
head in the sand, the textile
people have tried to conceal the
fact that stocks of goods have
been accommodating. They did as
the copper producers and others
have done, and quit publishing
statistics. But the unsold stocks
accumulated just the same.
Now they want to curtail pro-
duction, but at the same time
they want to keep their prices up!
OF course, evaSions will be en-
couraged, and even if they sue
coed in reducing supplies, the
same situation will again develop
in time. 1t is ever so with price
fixing.
AS to labor, we find the
United Textile Workers imbued
with the New Deal spirit.
Doubtless they are saying to
the code authority, you want
to create purchasing power by
paying more wages; now go
ahead and do it. How can you
expect us to buy shirts if you
don't hand us out money!"
= Or they may say. I'VE have a
right to work.
:. If they are honestly facing the
facts, they will just say, I'VE
want our dole" That is what it
comes to when we try to pay
wages for making things which
cannot be sold at profit.
Mill hands cannot buy all the
cloth they weave. The goods must
be sold to other consumers. And
if the price is too high, the con-
Sumers will not buy, which leads
to overproduction.
Then wages must be reduced,
simply because they are not
earned.
There is only one way out of
such conditions, and that is
to follow the law of supply and
demand. First provide low
but decent minimum wage, and
enforce fair rules for cOmpeti-
ton. Then let raw cotton goods
sell for what they wilt bring
in free markets. Let the least
efficient mills fail and be
: forced to shut down perma-
nently.
Then we would have to care
for those thrown out of work
until they would become self
supporting.

Good Progress On Glacier

Reports from the Glacier Creek property, adjoining the Dunwell, where Stuart Barclay is driving a new tunnel under contract, are to the effect that that the new drift is in over 75 feet and making good prog re'ss. Air drill equipment is employed.
 The tunnel is to be extended to 175 feet and is designed to cut a vein of what is said to be good commercial ore located by diamond drilling in earlier operations.

Car Accident Injures Three

A car owned and driven by Mrs. O. F. Hill, with MT. and Mrs. Arthur Moa as passen- gers, and a truck filled with sailors from the visiting Can adian warships, came together with a crash at a curve on the Salmon River highway near Eight-mile Sunday evening. The car was severely damaged by the impact and all of the oc- cupant5 were slightly injured.
 Mrs. Moa was thrown bodily from the car to the opposite side of the roadway, but land ed, fortunately, in small, grassy space among the jagged rocks along the edge of the en- bankment and received no graver injuries than small cuts and bruises. Mrs. Hill was scratched or bruised on her lower limbs and nose and MT. Moa was also slightly cut and bruised. The car, although damaged extensively, was able to return to town under it's own power.
 The truck, driven by Ernest Love, Jr., of Stewart, was re- turning to town from Premier, where the sailors had visited the mine. The accident ap- pears to have been due to the truck having too soft tires and an overload, as it was swinging widely in rounding the curve, according to Mrs. Hill. Occu- pants of the truck stated that it had been necessary to in- Hate the tires several times be- tween Premier and the point where the crash occurred. The Hill car was standing still at the inner side of the road to give the swaying car ample room to pass, according to the occupants. The impact forced it partially off the roadway and against the rocky wall, where it required the com bined efforts of the sailors to place it back on the highway and get it going, the starter having been broken in the smash-up.
 Responsibility for the dam age was assumed by MT. Ern- est Love, Sr. father of the truck pilot.

PREMIER WORKER
 CYANIDE VICTIM

Robert Barton Ellis, Premier mill worker, found dead We'd nesday morning on the car tracks near the dumps at Camp 4 of the Premier mine, com mitted suicide by drinking cy- anide of potassium, according to the verdict of a coroner's in- quest called by Dr. J. w. Vos- burgh of Stewart in his capac- ity of district coroner.
 The poison is presumed to have been obtained from the Premier mill, where it is used in ore reduction.
 Eye trouble and worry over finances were considered the probable motives for the rash deed.
 The body of the deceased was found by Gunnar Lund- burg and L. Mcdonald, fellow employees, at 7:35 a. m. A cup containing a small quantity of liquid identified as a solution of the deadly poison was found beside the body. An envelope containing a small amount of the dry crystals was also found near the remains, which were cold and stiff, indicating that death had occurred the even- ing before.
 A letter written by the young man to his mother in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and found in his pocket, expressed regret for the sorrow his act would cause the members of his fam fly and indicated beyond doubt that the suicide was premedi- tated.
 The deceased was 27 years old and was born in the United States at Crokston, Minnesota, but later emigrated to Canada with his family. He had been in the employ of the Premier company since last February and was highly regarded by those who knew him, although lately he was said to have dis played evidences of an illusion that no one liked him.
 He is survived by his father, mother and brothers and sis ters.
 The obsequies of the unfor- tunate young man will be held in Stewart at 2 D. m. Sunday afternon, with interment in the looo1 ooro atoY.v

DARING BURGLARY
 IN LOCAL STORE

The most daring robbery ev- CT perpetrated in Hyder and said to be the first involving forcible entry into a local bus mess house, occurred. Sunday evening when the Boundary Gift Shop, owned and operated by Hubert w. Thomas, was en- tered apparently by a lone burglar who robbed the cash register of small sum of money and a watch belonging to the proprietor.
 The robbery occurred be- tween II and II 20 D. m., and within a half hour or so after MT. Thomas had locked up and gone to his home in the forest townsite. Entry was obtained by smashing the glass in the front door, thus enabling the robber to turn the bolt of the night-latch. The daring of the burglar was displayed by the robbery being undertaken at a time when people going to and from a dance in Pioneer Hall were passing the premis- es at frequent intervals.
 Several persons claim to have either heard or seen the miscreant while he was in the store, but as the premises were only faintly illuminated by distant street lights, he was not recognized as an intruder and no one apparently thought to apprehend him. In each in- stance the observers were per- sons from across the boundary line and consequently not ov- erly curious as to what might be going on in the premises.
 The first intimation of the robbery was given by two Stewart ladies, Mrs. Hugh Mcdonald and daughter.
 While passing the store en- route to the dance, they heard someone moving about in the premises and also saw a mom- entary gleam of light, appar- ently from a flaehlight. Miss Mcdonald also saw the broken door but neither apparently re- alized at the time the possible significance of their observat- ions. After reaching the dance hall, however, Mrs. Mcdonald reported the broken door to other dance attendants but no one apparently thought of making an immediate investi- gation. Thievery being little known in Hyder, everyone ap- pears to have concluded that the door had been broken by some passing inebriate, but someone finally decided that MT. Thomas should be in- formed and Eric Lindegaard proceeded to the Thomas res idence for that purpose.
 By the time MT. Thomas ar rived at the store the robber

N. B. C. POWER CORP. PLANS BIG INCREASE
 IN LOCAL SERVICE

Power development propos- als involving expenditures az gregating $91,500 and a lar,.e increase in local power pro- duction, were outlined by MT. J. J. Little, district manager of the Northern B. C.Power Corp oration at a special meeting of the Stewart Board of Trade Friday afternoon.
 The plans include not only mediate improvement in the present inadequate pow e r service but also the installation of number of additional power generating units to pro- vide ample power for all b. cal needs for some time to come.
 First among the proposals mentioned by MT. Little was rehabilitation of the present deisel-powered Dunwell plant and its removal to a new loca- cation nearer the beach. This will involve expenditures ap- proximating $6,500 and is ex- pected to be completed in about six weeks. In outlining the proposal Mr. Little pointed out that that it will involve ex- tensive changes in the trans mission system and some incon- venience to consumers may be expected while the work is in in progress.
 Proposals for additional in- creases in the power product ion capacities of the company which MT. Little indicated are being submitted to the dire,:t- ors include the installation Of another diesel unit to operate in conjunction with the Dun we'll plant. The estimated cost of this installation will be S30- 900, and will also involve nec- essary changes in the trans mission lines the cost of which is estimated at $10,000, Mr. Little said.
 A third proposal involves the installation of a hydro-power generating plant on Portland Creek, across Portland Canal from Hyder, B. C., at a cost of some $15,000, and also the in stallation of an additional water-power unit on Barney's Gulch costing in the neighbor- hod of $30,000.
 Summarizing the program, MT. Little pointed out that its complete development wi l provide some 6600 horsepower of electrical energy, sufficient to supply power for a 15O-ton concentrating plant, with am- pie surplus power for a popu- lation of 1000 people, MT. Lit tie said.
 The development of the new power system will be carried on under the direction of MT. D., B. Crane, an electrical en-
