adds, tremendous strides have
been made in the synthetic
field-so much 50 that we al
ready have introduced a syn

that will outwear prewar nat
ural rubber tires.
HOME CONSTRUCTION
OUTLOOK
Home construction will not
attain the high rate in 1916
which was predicted during the
war years. Less than half the
number of homes originally ex-
pected to be built during the
first full year of peace will be
constructed during 1916, Har-
old w. Sweat, president o.
Minneapolis Honeywell Regula-
tor company states. Shortages
of materials and manpower
and the high cost of all COM
ponents needed in the housing
industry will serve as restrain
ing influences, he predicts. Be-
cause of this, he anticipates
construction of only 300, OOO
new dwellings in 1916 in con-
trast to the wartime estimates
of between soc, 1000 and 1000, OOO
new homes. He does, however,
see a potential demand over
the next decade for 5000. 0OO
to 100000 new homes. Sur
veys conducted by his company
indicate that approximately 80
per cent of all new homes will
be equipped with automatic
heating in contrast to the 10
per cent of existing homes
which now have this advanced
type.

Behind The Scenes
American Business
BY John Crdddock

For the first time in five
years, America looks forward
to a full year of freedom from
war. Labor disturbances have
marred the first few months of
peacetime operation and indi-
cations are that they will con-
tinue into January. if not
longer. To the more peSSimistic
analysts, II e Sc disturbances
represent a serious breach be-
tween management and labor
which is likely to continue for
some time. The more optimistic
outlook is that they r a cor
ollary of the abrupt switch
from war to peace economy
and that out of them may
come a sounder, better under
standing between management
and labor.
In either event strikes have
delayed conversion to a full
peacetime prosperity at a time
when all other signs point to
a high rate of business activity
Stated simply, people have
money, need goods and are
ready to buy them. That is a
firm basis for business pros
perity and a high level of en-
ployment. However, this con-
dition could change if many
people are out of work for a
prolonged period and are fore
ed to spend their savings. Most
industrial leaders think that
differences will be settled soon
and that business is in for at
least several years of sustained
high rate of production.
ALUMINIUM USE EXPANDING
The aluminium industry
which contributed so greatly
to the war effort anticipates
a substantial increase in usage
of that metal over the pre-
war level. Roy A. Hunt, presi-
dent of the Aluminium Com
pany of America, points out
that the industry will depend
for volume, in part. upon ap-
plications comparatively little
known till now in a number of
the nations largest industries.
The railroads, he says, have
ordered 100 all-aluminum cars
and will use 1000 to 10000
pounds of the metal in nearly
1000 additional cars. Roofing
sheet is expected to provide
another high tonnage market.
| Among smaller items to be
made of aluminium are canoes,
caps and seals, and heat
sealed foil envelopes. To meet
the anticipated higher demand
Alcoa has recently opened II
new regional sales offices and
is planning to open five more,
LARGE VOLUME FOR
RUBBER INDUSTRY
The rubber industry expects
to maintain a high rate of
! production in 1916. John L.
Collyer, president of The B. F.
Goodrich company, estimates
that the nation will consume
900, 900 tons of raw rubber.
which would be an all-time
high and approximately half
again as much as the average
consumption in the last few
normal prewar years. The new
year, he believe, will be largely
devoted to catching up on long
deferred and urgent demands
for civilian rubber products,
while with 1947 will come the
out-and-out competition be-
tween natural and synthetic
rubber. Meanwhile, he points

New Enlistment
Plan For navy

The Navy recruiting service
is now accepting applications
for two-year enlistments, it
was announced by H. G. Thorn
pson, recruiting officer of the
Navy recruiting station in this
area.
The two-year enlistment has
the dual purpose of letting a
young man try the navy with
out committing too much of
his future and of traing men
in the fundamentals of navy
trades as a preparation for any
national emergency.
Applications are also being
accepted from 7-year-ol Odds for

Alaska Marine Workers Union Headquarters tbss week signed a purse seiners and gil1netters agree ment for it's % locals in southeast Alaska from Yakutat to Metlakatla, with J. Steele Culbertson, Assistant Manager of the Alaska Salmon In- dustry, Inc, 1t was announced by William L. Paul, Jr., who signed on behalf of the AFL Union.
 Two hundred and fifty Yakutat fishermen and 40 Haines fishermen had been on strike, respectively, five days and two days when the AFL Union, affiliated with the Sailors Union of the Pacific accept ed the fourth offer made by the In dustry. Fishing began at Yakutat June r at midnight and at Haines June 20 m.
 Paul stated that gains at Yaku- tat amounted to 331bg % over 1S45. The form of contract actually sign ed was an amendment to the ASPSU-AFL 1941 contract, also used by IFAWA Local 30, Paul said.
 NJ. Paul stated that as usual the contract provides for minimum prices," and if the market warrents prices will go still further up.
 The minimum prices for south eastern Alaska for all purse seiners and gillnetteps at Haines and Yak utat will be zoe for pink salmon, 22e for chums, 42e for echoes and 53e for red or sockeye salmon. Tn case fish are too plentiful, the per share limit has been raised from 75O to 800. A delivery price of E ( per fish will be paid from any point instead of beyond 15 miles from each cannery. Preseason and post season work for fishermen will pay S1.32h per hour straight time and $1.47 overtime retroactive to Aril 1, 1946, with skilled labor pay ing the going scale.
