CROSSON GOES

Maintenance Superintend- ent Berst to Examine
 Mooring Facilities

Joe Crosson spent the night in Juneau last night after flying the Pacific Alaska Airways Stinson up from Ketchikan on a return flight from Seattle to Fairbanks.
 Accompanying Crosson were Charles Huntley, PAA radio en- gineer who flew on to Fairbanks with Crosson this noon, Phil B. Berst. Section Maintenance Super intendent for Pan American, and James Cushman, radio maintenance man. the latter two remaining here in Juneau.
 Berst, whose section" is the en- tire western division of Pan Amer ican AirWays, has been in Ketchi- kan for the past several weeks supervising plane servicing facilities there for PAA which include ramp and shelter with gassing facilities at the Ketchikan City Dock and a storm mooring in Ward Cove
 This afternoon in Juneau, Berst was to go out to Aux Bay with Assistant Regional Forester We'll man Holbrook and examine the possibilities of PAA mooring facil- ities in connection with a proposed Forest Service dock project.
 It is Berst's personal belief that flying equipment for the Seattle to Juneau route will be of the flying boat type and that, should such be the case when larger ships than the present clipper are put on the run. more adequate facilities will have to be put in at Aux Bay.
 Berst, whose residence for the past three years has been in Homo lulu, said he felt the "42' was the best equipment for the Alaska run, as that equipment is effectively used on the Hong Kong Manila run.
 The "42' is a four-engined flying boat, originally designed for 32 passengers, but for long flights, larger crews and more gas weight, as in the West Pacific service. pas senger capacity is cut down to twenty-two persons.
 Berst and Cushman will be in Juneau until the end of the week, when they will take a southbound boat. They are guests at the Gas tineau Hotel

exchanges affairs and the fight for
| administrative reorganization can't
detect on the horizon any drastic
overhauling in exchange policies.
What steps are taken in that direc.
ton, some brokers hold. would depend
partly on how aggressively the S. E. C
wants to press for incompleted re-
forms in the trading machinery par
ticularly for restricting activities OF
floor brokers and specialists and sep
arating functions of brokers and deal
ers on the floor.
However. the present slate has been
viewed widely in the financial district
as another step in the rebuilding OF
the exchanges business on an in
vestment" rather than speculative
basis. The distinction, as some ex-
plain it, is that an investment" mar
ket would be concerned primarily with
quoted values as expression of earning
power rather than blind in-and-out
dealings to catch price swings and ma
nipulation of prices to bring the public
into the market.
Question of Memberships.
One of the toughest problems that
will be handed to the new administra-
ton will be the question of reducing
the number of exchange memberships
All sorts of proposals are going the
rounds of brokerage circles for de-
creasing the roster so remaining busi-
ness would be spread more thickly
Most of these ideas, including pur-
chase Of memberships in the open
market, meet opposition on the ground
they would be too costly and would in
volve heavy assessments which many
brokers would find hard to meet these
lean days.
Favored by some is the suggestion
the big board" sell associate member
ships to banks and other financial in
stitutions and use the proceeds to re-
tire seats. Others are all for waiting
on the chance turn in the business
cycle might bring back a taste Of the
old heavy-trading days.

M. Girdler, chairman of the board of
Republic Steel Corp, told stockholders
at the annual meeting today his COM
pany was operating at less than 80 per
cent of capacity, as was the industry
as a whole. The company will show
a loss for the first quarter, he said.
Il wouldn't say that 1888 shows
much promise of being a good year for
the steel industry or for Republic
Steel" Mr.. Girdler said.
While the chairman was somewhat
pessimistic about general business con-
ditions, he did say that there were
some lines in better shape than steel,
and even in the latter industry the
present trend wss slightly upward.
Mr.. Girdler said that while he could
not say exactly what the break-even
point Of Republic is, because of in
stallation of new mills, his opinion was

Calls Attention Failure To File
 Social Security

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. IF, - Thor w. Henricksen, Acting Col lector of Internal Revenue, today called attention to the failure of many employers to file the Social Security information or summary return for the last six months of 1887. At the present time there are approximately 5000 employ CTS who filed this information re- turn (SS-2) for the first half of 1887 who have failed to file their returns for the second half of 1887.
 These returns must be filed inn mediately. The proper forms were mailed to all employers who filed returns for the period Janu- ary 1 to June 30, 1897. Forms SS 2 with the accompanying Forms SS-2A should be immediately pre- pared by those who are delin- quent, and forwarded to the Col lector of Internal Revenue at Ia coma, Washington.
 MT. Henricksen, again called at- tention to the change in the meth cd of filing the s eia. Security returns unde~ Titl VIII, gener- ally referred ito as the Old Age Pension Tax. Beginning Janu- ary l, 1888, this tax will be paid quarterly instead of monthly.
 There is now only one form to be used under tn. above title, known as Form SS-1A, which will be filed during the month of April for the three preceding months.
 In the even you are liable and do not receive, a form by mail, kindly write or telephone the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue at Tacoma, or the near est branch office.
