ference in a matter of public ia
terest."
Speaking for the union, Heisel
said the miners were "unalterably
opposed" to the change in time and
had voted unanimously to that eff
feet. He said 1t would mean the
day shift would have to climb the
mine trail an hour earlier in the
morning at what he said was the
coolest time of the day. Only a
handful here appear to want the
change, he claimed, and suggested
that if the merchants and business
men want to get off an hour earlier
in the evening they should go to
work an hour earlier in the morn
ing. a
Temperature Checked
Shattuck said the unions argu-
ment that it is colder at S o'clock
in the morning than 1t is at 8, or
even or 8, in the winter is false,
as he had checked U. s. Weather
Bureau records here for last De-
cember, January and February and
found there was only an average of
IT of one degree difference in tenn
perature between S and 8 o'clock.
Slender said the change, would
cause confusion at the mine because
the unions agreement with the
company specifies hours on yukon

Frank Metcalf, original propon-
ent Of the change, said he had as
surance that all outlying camps in
this district favored. turning the
clocks ahead as it would put them
on the same time as steamers call
ing at their docks and end much
confusion, ss e,si 81 !
Heisel argued that II thAre really
was any popular sentiment for the
change. a petition would have been
circulated to that effect.
Councilman Blake said that here
is something for the public good
that the union is trying to buck
simply because the Chamber of
Commerce is for it,"
sis all Vacations
Very little else was done at last
nights meeting. The Council de-
cided that only salaried employees
of the city. would have vacations
with. pay. Such employees put in
many hours of overtime without
pay, it was stated. while truck driv-
ers and other laborers have request
ed and been granted pay at the
union scale, with extra for overtime.
The men being paid at the union
rates may take vacations without
pay If they wish.
Cement Situation
l., G. Earl, Superintendent of the
L. j. Dowell paving work here, asked
whether the. city was planning to
pave the approach from Franklin
Street to the City Dock, as the ce-
ment situation in the States is
critical and his company would
have to. know the, needs here at
once. An application for permis-
sion to include the paving in the
present project has been sent to the
PWA office in Portland, Mayor
Lucas said and an answer is ex-
pected shortly. The. extra work
would cost 81 500 and take $50 sacks
OF cement Earl said the firm has
5000 sack on hand, needs $4,000 to
finish the present paving job and
doesn't know where it can get any
more. It was also suggested that
the city pave. the approach to the
Douglas Bridge while the paving
machinery is here.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-The Amer
ican aviation industry expects po-
tential productivity by mid-1940 in
excess of estimated German pro-
duction prior to the start of war.
Thus 1t appears that the mills
Of European war-three months old
tomorrow-are grinding out as a
by-product an American airplane
manufacturing capacity rivaling
that Of any major power.
When the Neutrality Act was
amended to permit the shipment
of war materials to belligerents the
Nations airplane industry, Of all the
"war baby" industries, gained the
greatest impetus.
An avalanche of orders for Amer
lean war planes and engines fol-
lowed. Counting domestic demands.
untitled orders currently total well

Increase Of 1oC Per Cent.
As an almost immediate result
American plants anticipate po-
tential productivity of $4,000 air.
planes and $4,000 aircraft engines
. year by June, 1910.
That is greater than any esti-
mate of German airplane and en-
CINE production made prior to the
start of the present war, and Ger
many was believed to have the great
est output of war planes in the
world
In terms of national defense,
$4,000 airplanes year will mean
boost in American production of
almost 100 per cent dating from
June. 1899.
Last June less than 10000 persons
were employed by American aviation
plants. Under the stimulus of for
eign orders, employment has jumped
to $4,000, and the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce of America
estimates that current and prospec-
tive orders will require 100000
workers by next summer.
One prominent manufacturer esti-
mates the European war will, within
the next year, serve to boost top
warplane speeds in the United
States, now bracketed at about $50
miles an hour, to 400 and possibly
$50 miles an hour.
Assembly Lines Started.
Expanded production in the air.
plane industry has brought i'm

scribed as unique in the business
history of the Nation, was brought
to light yesterday in board Of tax
appeals decision.
The policy was taken out on the

to determine whether the premium
on the insurance policy could be
deducted from the taxable income

share Of the premium. The tax
board ruled that he could not
properly do so.
