the front. Also the sash and the
buttons at the neck are covered with
satin. A careless effect is achieved
by leaving the neckline open and using
straight belt instead of the sash.
This frock can be successfully worn
with either satin or other accessories.

PRODUCTION INCREASE
By Byron Price)

Nech may be heard of the propo- sa- to give industry a new boost by a oitrarily increasing production,
 Some government economists have tten flirting with the idea for n 5'lths.
 Now President Green of the Am- eFgcan Federation of Labor has hl nght it into the open. He says a0 per cent production increase a- ald solve many problems.
 th theory, most alluring case
 be made to support that proph-
 It is argued that if all fac tor.as increased production suffic- 1t.y, something like this would llfppen:
 Unemployment would cease to be worry. The enormous relief ex- s4ndltures would shrink to a neglig- 'bs figure. It might even be poss- nle to balance the budget. next ar. Necessary borrowing to meet ech an expansion would loosen edit generally, and get the idle re- serves in bank vaults into circulation. lie larger payrolls would stimulate aeJing. With industry going full iesd again, and everybody in job, Gsw psycology of confidence would q created, perhaps heralding the ead of the depression.
 Naturally, there is another side to rhe case. Even those who warmly support the project see certain diff e1ities of practical operation.
 Presumably production increase would have to be brought about largely through voluntary action on The part of industry. Any govern nent attempt to enforce it certainly would be resisted.
 Many industries could not accept the program unless they were pre- pared to do some heavy borrowing. Jould they be induced to- borrow, while they were. doubtful if they could sell their greatly increasel output at anything like .ecnst. plus reasonable profit?
 It can be argued that the practical effect would be to. transfer the load Of relief expenditures from the treas ury to thea- pecketbook of private CT npoyers, who then would be taking sll the risk of the gamble on better times.
 And it can be argued in rebuttal that those who have enough cash or credit to operate business these days are taking the risk anyway, because continued relief expenditures mean bigger taxes, and those who aave material resources will be the ones who pay in the end..
 ities of the proposal also contend tnel' is no need to take the risk of sdinous production the evil effects of which were so clearly Senonstrated in the beginning of the pr6ssion..

AGITATION FOR AIR MAIL BE- TWEEN THE STATES AND
 ALASKA.
ALASK

Resolution advocating Air Mail be-
 tween Alaska and the State of Wash
 ingtOn.
 WHEREAS: Alaska is the nearest
 territory of the United States to
 Asia, where we now have a big
 trade and a much larger one await
 ing us, and
 | WHEREAS: Alaska is our last
 frontier, rich in fisheries, nearly all
 classes of minerals, agricultural
 possibilities, furs and timber await ing development, and
 WHEREAS: There is now a normal u ade amounting to from forty mill-
 ion to sixty million lollars annually
 between Alaska and the continental
 United States, which is growing
 rapidly, and
 WHEREAS: The only transporta- tion at present between Alaska and
 Puget Sound is by steamer requir- ing about three days time from Seattle and Tacoma to Juneau as
 compared to five to six hours by air
 plane; nine days from Puget Sound
 to Fairbanks by steamer and rail as
 compared. to ten to twelve hours by
 airplane; about eleven days to Nome by steamer as compared to sixteen to eighteen hours by airplane, and WHEREAS: Time is big factor in development of territory and trade, which is reflected in cost, it is conclusive that faster transporta-
 tion of mail will be reflected in more rapid development of Alaska and a big saving in dollars and greatly facilitate the transaction of business between the State of Washington and Alaska; the banking clearances also would be reduced in time on an ave- rage of 75 per cent, and
 | WHEREAS: The amount of busi- ness is so great between the state of Washington and Alaska, which is rapidly increasing, there is general demand from business interests and
 necessity for immediate establish ment of air mail service between said points, hence it is hereby l., RESOLVED: That the Washing
 ton Federation of Commercial Or ganizations, duly assembled at Tac-
 oma, Washington, on this second day of November, 1884, endorses and
 requests that Air Mail Service by the Federal Government be establish ed as soon as practicable between Alaska and the State of Washington,
 and the secretary is hereby author ized to transmit a copy of this reso-
 lution to proper officers of the Post Office Department at Washington D. c. to the members of the Wash mgton State Congressional Delega- ton, and to the Delegate to Congress l from Alaska.

ACTIVITY DECLINES
AT STEEL PLANTS
Orders From Auto Industry,
Railroads and Building
Fail to Appear.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 24.-Lacking
expected support from the automobile
industry, the railroads and the building
trades steel business has tapered of in
most market centers, according to Iron
Age.
While moderate gain in automotive
tonnage has driven up operations in
the Cleveland district from so per cent
to 81 per cent Of capacity, there have
been no other increases except half
point rise to 29ls per cent at Chicago.
Losses have been rather sharp, in
Guiding declines Of three points to 81
per cent at Pittsburgh, six points to 80
per cent In the Valleys and five points
to so per cent in the Wheeling district.
The national average, at 80 per cent,
is one point lower than a week ago.
1t is now clear that steel production
OF late has been sustained in part by
replenishment Of inventories. Any
gains that are made from now on will
more accurately reflect increases in
steel consumption.
Prospects of an early expansion of
demand are restricted mainly to the
automobile industry. Although produc-
ton difficulties have not been COM
pletely overcome by motor car builders,
they are expected to release large ton
mage orders within the next fortnight.
Among the smaller steel-conSuming in
dustries, farm equipment and road ma
chinery builders are taking more steel,
and miscellaneous users generally ap-
pear to be reducing their steel stocks
faster than they had expected.
But expectations remain untitled SO
far as business from the railroads and
the construction industry is concerned.
Although orders for 10000 freight cars
are in prospect including 12,775 on
which the Van Sweringen roads took
bids Monday, 1t is doubtful whether
any of the resultant tonnage can reach
the mills before March. Both car and
rail programs have suffered delay after
delay, largely because of complicated
financial negotiations at Washington.
The failure Of mill operations to rise
has forced producers to give renewed
consideration to costs. since lack of
volume in certain products means GER
tain losses. Price advances on sheets,
ranging from SO a ton on common fin
isheS to SIS ton on more highly fin
ished grades, are reported to be a pos
sibility.
Stainless steel, one of the newer prod
ucts of the industry. has been lowered
in price. evidently in the hope of bring
ing out an increase in consumption
that will be more than compensatory.
The confused and disappointing situ-
alton in the finished steel market is not
reflected by scrap prices. Increases at
Chicago and Pittsburgh have driven up
the Iron Age scrap composite from
sl1 83 to S12 ton, its ninth consecu-
tive weekly advance. The Iron Age
composites for pig iron and finished
steel are unchanged at $500 ton
and 2.028 cents a pound, respectively.
