Whose Business Is Jobs?
LPA Columnist

Whose business is unemploy- ment, anyway?
 According to people who know what management is talking about, employ CTS are worried because labor is polk ing its nose into a lot of things that are "none of our business" You know what they are: promotions, standards, and a lot of other things like that.
 But what worries the employers more than anything else is the fact that labor is getting so interested in prices. Not only in the prices that other employers charge and that we have to pay. But also in what our own bosses charge the people who buy what we make. That, say the people who hire us, is none of our business. With exclamation marks.
 Maybe it does seem strange to an employer to find his union arguing with him about the prices he charges. We haven't done that before. But worse than being strange if he's a monopoly capitalist as we'll as an en- ployer, it's dangerous as well. It threatens the whole basis on which he does business. For, if unions really get involved in arguments about prices, anything might happen. For instance prosperity. And then what happens to monopoly capitalism?
 Let's see how it works now. Customers Make Jobs Over a year ago, the president of General Motors made a speech in which he said that jobs are not made by industry. Jobs, he said, are made by customers.
 toner for one of CM's cars if he has job, and earns pretty good pay at it. But job and pretty good pay won't be enough unless the cars are priced low enough so that working men can buy them. With out working men buying cars, there can't be many customers; without enough customers, there can't be enough jobs.
 Car prices, to use them as an ex- ample, have been going up. If you don't think that that is cutting down on the market for cars, take a look at the report of the Federal Reserve Board on the subject.
 Try and Get It The Board asked a lot of peoD1e what they expected to do with the savings they had when the war ended. Most of them said they expected to hang on to what they had saved. Only 8ao of them said that they expected to buy cars with that money. And the average prospective car buyer planned to pay SLIGO for car.
 Now, if you've been car buying, or reading the papers, you know that it's pretty hard to find a new car priced as low as $l1OO. In my experience, even the white market price on most cars runs about $1OO

seven years. The depressiOns have continued to come even though economists have said for years that they could be stopped if industry would keep prices and wages in line with each Sother.
 All during the war and since the war ended, labor and other liberal economists have insisted that prices were rocketing us into new depres- sion. There is still some argument when it's coming; but no one seems to doubt that it is coming.
 Hitting Monopoly
 So, there we sit while the argument goes on over where you draw the line between labor's business and the ex- elusive business of the employer. The argument will get hotter before it's settled. I'm sure that, when the ans wer is finally worked out, it will be that labor IS, and by all rules of

Alaskan voters have declared themselves in favor of statehood, there is hope of ending the sus- } pended animation in which Alas ka has languished since it's incor- poration as a Territory 34 years ago. The referendum in the Alas kan general election removed any doubts as to how the residents themselves feel. The issue is now up to Congress. It must pass an enabling act before AlaskanS can ~draw up constitution and take up the place to which they (and WeI feel they are entitled.
 The political dalliance with which Alaska has been treated has been material factor in re- tarding it's development. Alaskans have a very limited local auton- omy. They have virtually no say over the disposition of most of their money. They are at the mercy of a Government 4O0O miles away which owns 93 per cent of the land and has imposed Well-nigh impossible restrictions on use of . AlaSka'S resources. Alakans like wise are held in near bondage by their dependence on steamship companies. High freight rates, not only on water transportation but also on the Government owned Alaska railroad, make the Terri tory's cost of living nearly double that of the United States proper. NAbsentee ownership of canneries and other principal Alaskan in- dustries combine with profiteering and long-distance bureaucracy to hinder expansion.
 Statehood is not, of course an automatic cure for all that ailS Alaska. State or Territory, it still is not a bonanza for get-rick- quick schemers. It is a sparsely settled, rugged region of tremendous dis tances that requires both thorough understanding and a strong con- Stitution on the part of those who seek to exploit it. It is patently clear, however, that the present artificial discouragements prevent use of Alaska's tremendous poten- tialities. There is no valid reason why this should continue.

Mining Men
To Entertain
Legislators


Plans are being made by the
Mining Association of Montana and
its Helena chapter, the Last Chance
Gulch Mining Association. to hold
the traditional legislative meeting
and complimentary banquet to the
members of the Montana legislative
assembly in Helena around the
middle of January, 1947. Galen t..
Vandel, Helena, president of the
Last Chance Gulch Mining Associa-
ton, is chairman of the general
arrangements committee.
During the war years an all-day
business session was held by the
Mining Association of Montana pre-
ceding the evening banquet How
ever, since the latter organization
is now holding its regular summer
meetings, the legislative BUSINESS
meeting will probably be stream
lined to only an afternoon session.
During the afternoon session, mem
bers of the association win meet as
a committee-of-the-whole, to draft
resolutions covering recommends
tions to the Montana legislature. At
the business session the officers for
1947 also will be announced.
1t is expected that the compli-
mentary banquet to the legislators
will be followed by a floor show,
and, as usual Governor Ford viii
be the only speaker at the banquet
Further details of this meeting and
banquet will be announced later.

The unit was set up to investigate
the geochemical dispersal of ore
metals In soils, plants and natural
waters in the vicinity of oxidiZing
ore deposits, for the purpose of
developing new techniques of pros
pecting for metals in areas where
the deposits are not exposed at the
surface. Several field problems are
at present under investigation and
preliminary reports will be issued
on this work as the results become
available.
One of the test areas selected for
trying out methods of geochemical
prospecting is in western New
York, southwest of Clarendon, Or
leans county. A number of peat
boys in this area, when drained for
muck farming, developed a toxicity
TO plants This toxicity was proved
by analyses made by E. F. Stalker
of Cornell university to be due to
high concentrations of zinc. Results
of this work and a description of
the area are given in Vol. 6 of the
Proceedings Of the Soil Science So
ciety of America, PIP. 207-214, 1871.
A preliminary reconnaissance of
the area has been undertaken by
the Geological Survey, and samples
of soil, water and plants have been
collected in an effort to determine
the origin and mode of occurrence
of the zinc The area is underlain
entirely by a thickness of Lockport
dolomite which has been known for
years to contain small amounts of
sphalerite along its extensive out
crop. Certain toxic areas near the
margin of the muck have proved
TO be directly associated with por-
tions of the underlying Lockport
dolomite which contain conspicuous
crystals of sphalerite. Because of
poor exposures, it is not possible to
determine directly the quantitative
abundance of zinc in the underlying
dolomite, but ii is hoped that an
indirect Interpretation of the dis
tribution of the zinc can be made
from the geochemical data The
teaching and transportation of the
zinc by ground water evidently ac-
counts for the concentration found
in the peat
The samples collected are now
being analysed for zinc and when
the analytical data are available a
preliminary geochemical map of the
area will be released.
