Plants for West

WASHINGTON. - Defense officials
reported today that the government
tentatively has approved an $85 900, :
600 expansion in the steel and pig iron
producing facilities of Columbia Steel
Co. plants at Pittsburgh, Calf, and
Provo, Utah.
Corp. has agreed to finance a $35, 900, :

MINERS VOTE
ON 1941 WAGE
AGREEMENT

Mill and smeltefmen employed by
Anaconda Copper Mining co. are this
week voting on a second draft Of the
proposed agreement. the first draft
having been refused by the union vote.
Il is a CLOSED shop" agreement, the
company agreeing to deduct union
dues from pay checks as well as ini-
tiation fees not exceeding $40 or re-
instatement fees but the company VIII
not undertake to settle questions OF
Jurisdiction between the unions.
The sliding scale of wages, based
on the price Of copper, is replaced by
a straight increase Of rs cents a day
with time and a half for overtime. A
weeks vacation with five days pay
will be allowed employees who have
worked not less than 230 days. Griev-
ance committees are set up IN the
various plants, the decisions of the
executive industrial relations commit
tee to be binding upon both the COM
pany and the union. In controversies
involving a strike, only those members
of the unions who are employed by
the company at the time the vote is
taken, or within six months prior
thereto, shall have the right to vote.
Unemployment of those called into
military service is also covered.
If the proposal is accepted before
Oct. 30, the new wage scale becomes
effective Oct l, 1871.

CHROME MINE
PRODUCES $50
TONS PER DAY

RED LODGE=The United States
Vanadilm Corp. is now bringing down
an average Of $50 tons Of ore daily
with five trucks working two six-hour
shifts, according to a statement by
L. K. Norton, superintendent of
chrome operations here.
All plans are being carried on
smoothly and it is expected that with
in the next week 200 tons Of ore win
be brought daily with the corporation
working two eight hour shifts a day.
It was announced that more trucks
will be added soon and If develop
ments Of ore production prove out
satisfactorily twice as much ore may
be brought down to the mill.
Sometime In December, after the
completion Of an eight-mile road up
to Hell Roaring camp, ore viii be
hauled from there also. Part Of the
mining there will be tunnel extraction
with the rest being strip mining.
The mill win consist of six build
ings, the erection of which is well
under way. A chemical laboratory viii
also be constructed to test the grade
Of ore as it is brought down.
At present the ore Is about 35 per-
cent chrome. After this grade Of ore
is concentrated, it is approximately As
percent chrome. The mill win have a
45O-ton capacity
BY January the mill viii be in shape
to concentrate at capacity. A 5000
watt gasoline light plant has been in
stalled to generate electricity for the
lighting of the mine.
Norton has been with the United
States Vanadium Corp. since July and
previously spent several years in South
America with another large company.
He is making plans to have 10000
tons of ore brought down to the mill
dump in Red Lodge within the next
two and a half months This would
be an increase of $500 tons over the
plans previously made.
A. F. Carper, examination engineer
and in charge of the mine, is COM
pleting arrangements for the building
of road up to the Hell Roaring site,
and expects to start hauling ore from
there by December. Construction Of a
mill in Red Lodge viii
be moving in full swing next week.
Arrangements are also being made
to keep the H-road open from Red
Lodge to Mae West curve. As yet the
has been able to get only
q Today extension of the road main
tenance but is confident that this sec
ton of road will remain open.

NnSSOULA--S pom nsored by the
United States geological survey and
the university, geological field work OF
l941, conducted by DR.. c. F. Deiss
professor Of geology, was continued
during the summer months. The field
season began June and was com
pleted Sept. 10.
Members Of the research party were
DR.. Deiss, chief Of the party; David
]. Varnes Of Northwestern university,
recorder, and George P. Moore Of the
lower Blackfoot, packer.
Technical assistance was offered by
DR.. Josiah Bridge, senior geologist Of
the United States geological survey,
who joined the group from Aug. to IS.
Field work was conducted IN the
southern part of the Sawtooth range,
about 65 miles west Of Great Falls.
Most of the summer was spent be-
tween Sun river and the Middle Fork
of the Teton, from the front Of the
range westward to the North Fork
of Sun river
Fossils were collected and a 2O0-mile
area was mapped.

steel structure Of the same strength
Because of this, chrome-steel is
used in metal construction ranging in
size from small cans to tanks for
trucks and even freight cars.
High speed trains take full advan-
tage of the high strength, ductility
and corosion resistance of the chrom-
flm-nickel steels for framework as
well as interior finishings.
But the extended use of stainless
steel adds to the problem. A ton Of
stainless steel with 18 percent chrom-
ium requires as much as 10 to 20
tons of ordinary chrome steels with
to 2 percent chromium. Many Of the
newer alloys call for chromium con-
tents of two or three times that
amount.
Yes, it is important-important for
military and defense purposes.
In addition to its use as a steel
alloy, chrome is important in the
tanning of leather for shoes and other
military equipment; important as a
dye for olive drab cloth.
Unlike other steel alloys there is no
widespread public junkpile recovery Of
chromium A few of the heavier in
dustrial users return wornout parts
for the scrap value. However, with the
increasing demand extensive research
is being made for an economical re-

Copper production is showing no in

Only higher prices, making possible

BY Cambridge Associate

Each year end the air transport
companies have the same story to
repOrt-more miles flown, more pas
SenCers carried. more express carried,
more mail carried than ever before.
During the first 10 months Of
1910, 90525 600 passenger miles were
booked by the commercial air lines
and passenger volume for the year is
placed at more than 60 per cent
above the 1889 total.
The prospect that the Govern
mCnt might exercise priority rights
over al new plane and engine pro-
duction was disturbing to air trans
port managers for a time, but an
arrangement has been worked out
to provide the commercial lines with
sufficient equipment to effect re-
placements OF present equipment
Although expansion plans may be
slightly curtailed by the priority
rights of the defense program, oper-
ations of the commercial lines are
not expected to be hampered greatly.
More intensive use of present equip
ment. pooling agreements and sched-
ule revrslonS will avert serious upset

Three years ago only one Of the
six major air transport companies
was able to report a profit All Of

faces a task of greater magnitude
than she has ever faced before.
Production in all lines must be
increased, idle plants must be put
to work and new factories built and
set going at top speed if our de-
mOCraCy is to survive the attempted
totaLtarian revolution.
In this job the railroads have a
vital part. Manufacturers Of COM
pcting types OF transportation equip
mcnt will more and more find their
facilities taxed by the demands of
the military. This will place the
burden OF smooth transportation OF
goods on the carriers.
And for the same reasons the
opportunity of securing new equip

workers Will be needed to produce
military goods It is fortunate,
therefore, that their efficiency has
been improved-that their engines
can pull more cars, more heavily
loaded. at higher speeds than ever
before in the history Of American
railroading.
