Montana employers who have neg
lected to submit reports and con-
tributions based upon their payrolls
since January /, 1887, should at
once obtain report forms from the
Unemployment Compensation Corp-
mission OF Montana, at Helena, and
submit them in complete shape with
out awaiting a call by field agent,
said L. E. Vidal, field auditor for
the Commission who has been in
Libby this week contracting employ
ers and endeavoring to get in touch
with dehnquents.
It is pointed out by Mr. Vidal that
with very limited field force ii
will be impossible to personally in
terview the hundreds of employers
who are legally subject to the act
to advise them as to their obliga-
tons and to instruct them as to re-
porting methods. He suggests that
every employer who has failed to
obtain coverage for his workers
should communicate by mail with
the Commissions office in Helena
to obtain the necessary report forms
before his delay subjects him to the
penalties imposed by the act

LONDON, May 2s.--Although the
laSt week produced news items nor
n1ally calculated to stimulate invest
ment activity, such as settlements of
the coal dispute and the London bus
strike, excellent railway traffic reports,
favorable retail trade indices and q
betterment in the international out
look, the securities market has been
lethargic. with the volume Of business
the smallest in many months.
Had the technical position of the
market not been strengthened by
recent liquidation, a further sharp
setback might have replaced the stag
nancy.
The present lethargy is attributable,
nrst. to the unfavorable reception
given Chancellor Chamberlain's con-
cessions in connection with the new
profits tax, some optimists having
hoped that the tax would be dropped.
Operators now are busily engaged in
elaborate calculations in an endeavor
to ascertain the liabilities of COM
pan1es and their consequent effect on
industrial equities. However, they are
likely to tire soon of such statistical
exercises and be ready to respond to
further concrete evidence of trade re-
covery.
The second depending influence is
discussion Of the future of gold, which
Is based mainly on rumors as to the
prospective price in sterling and
dollars; also rumors Of stabilization,
emanating mainly from the continent.
The financial district hopes the i'm
perial conference soon will issue a
statement on this question.
