BRITAIN FACING
NEW PROBLEM

Constant advance in the price
of gold which has risen to a new
high in the London market has
created new problems in the Brit
ish financial and economic posi-
ton, according to English banking
authorities. The opinion is held
in Great Britin that the latest
United States move in connection
with silver has intensified the
situation. Discussing the subject,
the London Financial Times, in
a recent issue said:
''The move has fastened the
time when the question of res
tOration Of the gold standard
by the British Government will
have to be faced. Then will
arise the question of revaluation
of the gold held by the Bank of
England, with its possible re.
auctions on the monetary and
economic systems.
The Bank or England holds,
in round figures, G19O,OOO,OOO of
gold which by statute is valued
at just under 85S. per fine ounce.
DevaluatiOn at the current rate
would bring these holdings up
to 4315,OOO,OOO, or an increase
of G125, 100000. What will be
the effect of this expansion?
'By statute this profit will
accrue to the government, prob
ably to the Exchange EqualfZa-
ton Account. This does not
mean that any part Of the
banks revalued gold is physi-
calIy or by earmark transferred
to the Exchange Equalization
Account. The gold may remain
in the issue department, and in
the absence of any expansion in
note circulation there would be
an increase of G125,OOO,OOO in
the banking departments re-
serve. AS the reserve now stands
at not quite 47O,OOO,OOO, such
an increase would be phe-
nOmenal.

British Unions
For Specialization

The British Trades Union Con-
Rress has unanimously adopted a
report approving scheme for the
specialization of the British iron
and steel industry.
BY this plan an act of Parlia-
nent would set up a British iron
and steel corporation to take over
an enterprises manufacturing iron
and steel products from pig iron
to finished articles.
This corporation would be a
public body working solely in the
public interest, with powers in
Guiding the keeping of a balance

the efficient operation and ade-
quate development Of the indus

more than a point.
Some unsettlement was created
by pressure on individual issues,
particularly Canadian Pacific and
the radio shares. These were weak
under active selling.
Smelling Quiet
United States Smelling and the
other mining shares, last weeks
disturbing spots, were quiet and

Rails were steady in quiet
trading. Atchison and New York
Central showed tendencies to ad-
vance at times, but failed to make
much progress.
Steels were slightly higher IN
the face of the uncertainty which
continued to dominate the trade
reviews.
Dupont was up moderately in
the industrials. Motor shares adj
vanced.
The utilities were better. Farm
shares were dull, and oils quiet
and irregular.

misunderstanding the CWA

1t seems that there are many people who do not under
stand the rules of the civil works program. In the first
place the local civil works board does not make the rules
governing the civil works administration. The rules are
made in Washington, and sent to the state civil works
board, and in turn are passed on to the local board. There
is no option left the local board-they must carry out in
structions.
Secondly, there were not enough jobs allotted in Car
bon county to take up one fourth of the unemployed III
the county. This also was true in every county in the
state.
The local board was instructed to first employ all the
men who were con the relief, November "a, before call
ing for men who were registered on unemployment rolls
of the county. Let it be understood that the local civil
works board does not employ any men on any project,
other than those who were on the relief and were COM
petent workers. Employment is done by the county re-
employment agent, upon receipt of a written order for a
given number of men for any project designated. With
the filing of the order with the unemployment agent, the
authority of the local civil works board ends.
Under the rnles and instructions from the national
CWA, after a man has been set to work on a project, he
is supposed TO continue working his regular assigned
shifts until February 10, unless the project is over
manned, or he gets sick, or is discharged for ~insubordi-
nation, or refuses to do a reasonable days work. Should
a man be discharged for cause, he can not be reemployed
and can not receive further relief.
There is a general belief that the local CWA board
should ~"stagger'' employment. This is impossible. 1t
can't be- done, and any criticism of the board for not do
ms ~ 10 uhJuoes
Nothing but praise and commendation should be given
the local board for the untiring efforts of those who are
giving their time, and in many cases, money, and long
hours of work without a cent of compensation, to make
the local projects a success and to furnish employment to
men and women who are badly in need Of work. The ed
itor of The News knows the facts to be true, as he has
worked with the local board day and night to get the
projects started, and he has gladly given his time with
out hope Of compensation or reward. The knowledge that
we have helped to make the Christmas merrier and the
New Year happier for a number of people, and especially
the Riddles, is compensation enough for us, and we be-
llieve that the local CWA board members feel the same.
An undertaking of this magnitude will always provoke
some criticism. This is to be expected. Some people crit
CHE because they do not understand, while there are al
ways a few who know better, but criticize out of pure
c%ussedness. We have a few Of the latter class in Carbon
county, but not many, and, thank God, the number is
growing smaller all the time. Be sure you know what you
are talking about before you criticize. The local board
will be glad to rectify any mistakes.

CHANGING back through the
months, it can be seen that there
were several events rather out of
the ordinary, and some occur
ences that were significant in the
lives of people in the county.
Those events that called for the
greatest attention by newspapers
and readers during the year were,
it would seem: the presence and
activity of the c. C. c. company
in the Beartooths this summer;
action on the Red Lodge Cooke
highway, which was driven almost
to completion; the capture and
conviction of several more bank
bandits in the county; the deaths
of John w. Chapman, John Dunn
and Walter E. Lamport, figures
of the Old West that is rapidly
passing into history; initiating of
the movement to development of
the Beartooth chromite deposits;
the wheat allotment plan as it af-
fects Carbon county farmers; the
public and civil works programs
and projects in the county; the
visit of the international Geologic
congress; and perhaps the recent
New Years eve celebration in Red
Lodge might be mentioned.
Listed in the general order of
their occurrence, some of the things
and people that helped to create
news during the year were:

URGE GOVERNMENT
ACTION ON CROW
BROADUS HIGHWAY
Resolution by Legislature
Requests Force Account
Construction

Allotment of funds for con-
struction of a highway between
Broadus, in Powder River county,
to Grow Agency, Big Horn coun-
ty, is requested by a joint resolu-
ton Of the Montana legislature,
addressed to Harold L. Ickes, pub
lie works administrator.
The resolution asks that Adj
ministrator Ickes allot the neces-
sary funds, direct the Montana
highway commission and the bur-
eau of public roads to proceed at
once under force account on build
ing of the road, and to cooperate
to the fullest extent with the In
dian department and forestry SER
vice to hasten completion of the
work during the coming year.
The legislative action was in
stigated by o. H. P. Shelley, Sec
rotary of the Beartooth Boosters
club, and introduced in the senate
by Senator Simmons of Red Lodge,
Senator Eaton of Yellowstone
county, Senator Kelsey of Powder
River county and Senator Putnam
of Big Horn county.
As stated in the resolution, this
highway runs approximately 81
miles through federal Landslide
Grow and Cheyenne Indian reser-
vations and the Custer national
forest-and % miles outside Of the
reservations. The Indian depart
ment and the forestry service
have asked for the highway as q
necessity to development. 1t was
stated that the road would oper
up a territory rich for agriculture
stock raising, numbering and min.
ing, which has so far been unde.
veloped for lack Of transportation
facilities.
The territory to be traversed is
of wonderful scenic beauty, anc
has a historical interest.
The highway would shorten the
distance from the Black Hills ant
the Midwest to our National parks
by more than 100 miles, ant
would be an excellent feeder roaC
to bring tourists into Montana.
After passage Of the resolution
the proponents of the measur'
called in a group on the stat
highway commission at Helena, Il
urge its cooperation and promp
action upon allotment of the con
struction funds.
