GIL RICH RETURNS
FROM BOAT TRIP TO
NOME FROM NENANA

After covering more than 800.
miles by plane, gasboat and train
Gil Rich, representative of The
Black Manufacturing Company ant
Parker Pen Company, returned tt
Juneau the latter part of lasl
week. He had been away since
May and during his travels visit
ed every settlement on the Yukor
River.
There was great mining activit.
in the vicinity of Ruby and il
Nome every available man wa
working on the mining properties
he said. Business throughout the
Territory was good and people
seemed most optimistic over the
prospect of good season.
Mr.. Rich flew from Juneau te
Anchorage and from there con-
tinued to Fairbanks by train. H,
returned to Nenana and with H. B
Carbray, G. w. Cash and William
Wood, boarded the launch Re
lance, on which they made the
trip down the Yukon River to
Unalakleet. They continued tt
Nome, by way of st. Michael by
mail beat and after several day
in that city returned to- Nenana
by the same route. The trip from
Nerana to Nome and return re-
quired sixty days by small boat
with stops Of varied length alonc
the route.
In addition to the smaller com
munties, Mr. Rich spent severa
days each in Fairbanks. Anchorage
Nenana and Seward, stopping a.
Cordova and Valdez on the south
bound trip
In comparing covering the Yu-
kon district by small boat and air
plane, Mr.. Rich declared that he
thought the latter much more
practical, 10th as a saving of time
and regarding expense, which was
about the same either way.
He expects to leave this week TO,

SPEC|ALT|ES Up
IN PROVED
CURB TRADE
By THEODORE KOSLOW

NEW YORK, Dec. II U.N.S0.
Bidding UP of selected specialties
featured a definitely improved
curb market today.
Carrier Corporation was marked
up 2 points to a new 1884 high at
1872. Other outstanding indus
trials were Sherwin Williams,
which was up l to a new peak at
SO; Pepperell Manufacturing, up
1B at 905s; Fisk Rubber, up la
at 1034; Swift International, up
70 at 331a, and Babcock and Will
cox, up p at 3712.
Sunshine was active in the
metals, reaching record high at
1871, up y point. Lake Shore,
Hollinger, and Bunker Hill were
up to a lesser extent.
Utilities showed a firmer tone,
with the petition of the Consoli-
dated Gas Company of New York
for a rate rise, indicating that
the power and light companies
were determined to combat the
widespread tendency of munich
palities to increase taxes to obtain
needed revenues. Electric Bond
and share was up 3s at 7B.
Oils were slightly improved. In
vestment trusts were sluggish,
with Atlas Corporation barely
steady at 85s. Alcohols did little.
Cities Service common sagged H
to a new low for the year at 13s
on selling presumably for tax pur-
poses.

All But 23 Textile Offenses
Settled by Code Authority

With the exception of cases in
volving only % employers, all
code violations investigated by
the Cotton Textile Code Au-
thority were adjusted SatiSfactor-
lily to both employees and employ
ers without reference to NRA or
other Governmental agencies,
George A. Sloan, chairman, re-
veals in a report made public
today.
Within the jurisdiction of the
Cotton Textile Code, there are
1900 cotton mills in Is States,
employing more than 100000
workers and nearly 400 rayon,
narrow fabrics and thread mills,
mercerizers and finishers, employ
ing about $4,000 workers.
Sydney P. Munroe, assistant in
charge of enforcement activities,
who prepared the report, con-
siders this record striking evil
dence of the ability of the code
authority and its representatives
satisfactorily to adjust such diff
ferences within the industry.
Eighty Per Cent Baseless
Of 3,799 complaints received
from all sources 1,610 were dis
missed without investigation, the
report shows, because they were
obviously the work of cranks, of
employees who misunderstood the
application of code provisions or

disagree concerning the general
effect of the Recovery Act on
employer-employe relations, ac-
cording to a survey by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference
Board on the effect of the de-
preston on industrial relations.
This survey shows many
changes in methods of labor nego-
tiationS since 1929. It covers CON-
panies representing 43 industries
and employing over half a mil
lion workers.
The board invited 233 repre-
sentative companies to reveal
their major problems of industrial
relations. The average employ
ment per company was 1900.
OF 159 companies in the survey
that carried group life insurance
in 1929, only two have allowed
their policies to lapse. Five ad-
ditional companies took out poll
cies after the Recovery Act.
Benefits Retained
Thirteen unemployment benefit
plans were reported, only two of
which we're discontinued. One
company adopted such plan after
the Recovery Act and SIX others
reported that they were consider
ing similar action.
One hundred and thirty-three
mutual benefit associations, estab-
lished prior to the depression,
were reported still alive.
Only three formal plans of pen
sions or retirement allowances
succumbed to the depression. One
new plan of this kind was adopted
following the MIRA and eight COM
panies are now considering the es-
tabliShment of such plans.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Dec. II UN. sD.-Ac-
tivity in the coarse yarn cloths market
was little changed at the start Of
new week today, with buyers continuing
to show definite resistance TO higher
prices and mills consistently turning
down bids for concessions or bids at
full prices for long term shipments.
Market operators, however were in
clned to look ahead to the new year
for encourag ging signs Of an upward
move in values. Buyers are still un-
covered on large percentages Of their
early 1885 needs and mills are count
ing upon a covering movement for de-
liveries within January and early Feb
ruary to produce sufficient activity to
carry prices sharply upward.

MEAT PACKING
JOBS RISE

Meat packers are employing 16
per cent more persons on a pay
roll 38 per cent greater than a
year ago, it was learned today.
Latest Government statistics,
issued for October, show more
wage earnerS were employed by
the packing industry in Septem-
ber and October than in any
other two months on record.
Furthermore, payroll totals for
october were higher, with the ex-
ception of three months about 10
years ago, than theu ever have
been. The number of men en-
ployed each month during 1884
has been greater than the num-
ber employed in the correspond
ing month last year. Employ
ment and payroll total indexes,
according to the Institute of
American Meat Packers, have
been greatly in excess of the
average indices for all manufac-
turing industries.
Volume of meat production. of
consumption and Of payments 70
producers also has been large in
comparison with other years, the
institute pointed out. AS mat
ter of fact the increase in en-
ployment in payrolls was at
tributed in part to the heavy
marketings of livestock during
the year. The institute esti-
mated over $10,000,000 a month
in wages had been paid to about
1875, 900 wage earners by the in.
dustry. exclusive of salaried work
ers and executives.

ing nurses and special clinics.
However, none of the 202 first aid
stations or of the TT company
dispensaries was discontinued. Ac-
cident prevention work likewise
continued during the depression.
Athletic activities were fairly we'll
maintained and employe CLUBS and
company gardens generally suS-
tanned.
Only II out of 1913 apprentice
courses were suspended during the
depression.
Programs Cancelled
Industrial relations programs
covered by the conference boards
survey that suffered the heaviest
casualties since 1929 are stock
purchase plans, social and recrea-
tional activities and plant cduca-
tional and training work.
More companies cancelled en-
ploye stock purchase plans than
retained them. More than half
the companies with profit-sharing
plans dropped them. Home pur-
chasing plans also suffered to an
above-aVerage degree.
Over so per cent of the dra-
matte and musical activities were
discontinued during the depres-
sion. Picnics and outings for
employees previously given by half
of the reporting companies were
suspended. Employe magazines
were cancelled by nearly as many
companies as continued them.
While apprentice training
showed marked immunity to the
depression, more elaborate forms
of educational work, such as in
dustrial courses and special train
ing for high school and college
graduates, were carried on by
comparatively few companies and
the rate of diScontinuance was
high. Foreman training courses
also were dropped in nearly half
as many companies as sustained
them.

HOOKER FLAYS
POWER PLAN

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE
water power development program
of President Roosevelt was critl'
cized yesterday as a wasteful ex-
penditure of public funds by Elon
H. Hooker, president OF the
Hooker Electro-Chemical Com
pany, manufacturers of heavy
chemicals with plants at Niagara
Falls and Tacoma, Wash.
Hooker issued a statement
made public by the Chamber OF
Commerce of the State OF New
York, in which he said that he is
a large consumer of power.
Therefore, measured by a
selfish yardstick" he should be
very enthusiastic about the de-
velopment of more power "even at
the expense of the assets Of exist
ing power companies" He did not
take that attitude, however, be-
cause of previous experience with
governmental projects, including
that at Muscle Shoals.
The Wilson dam there, which
cost $51, 100000. was worth just
SIT, 900 900 when finished, he said.
He continued:
"The kind of expenditure 60
ing on under the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, so far as 1 can
find out, is very nearly all
wasted money, except the Nor
ris dam. There is a dam 1 do
believe in. When / was down
there it was supposed to cost
$40, 100000. 1 see now it is go
ing to cost S37 100000. That is
another comment on Govern.
ment construction"
