Coal Shortage Acute;
Business Counts on
Early Settlement
By 6. A. Phillips
AssocIoted Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Business
yielded a little more ground to the
coal shortage this week, bvt
banked heavily on early settlement
OF the strike by maintaining high
level operations in key industries.
Business Offices appeared willing
to go along with the belief that the
eight-month- old dispute between
the United Mine Workers and the
coal operators was rapidly ap-
preaching a climax, and break in
favor of resumption of work in the
pits was imminent.
There was no curtailment of
work and as a general rule no
provision was made for stretching
out available coal supplies by re-
ducing work schedules next week.
Nothing in Sight Yet.
Discarding a high degree of
wishful thinking. however, there
was nothing specific in sight to
back up optimism for early settle
ment. Reports from the coal fields
indicated the miners were as de-
termined as ever to secure a con-
tract before they go to work, new
orders from John L. Lewis not
withstanding.
The soundest basis of all for
hopes that the struggle may soon
be over probably lay in the stub
born economics of the situation.
People all over the country have
been called on to endure hardships
because of the lack of heating fuel
and many types of business were
in jeopardy due to the lack of coal.
Industrial America cannot func-
ton without coal and when the
chips are really down you can ex-
pect something to happen that will
start 1t flowing it again.
Steel Mills Busy.
The steel industry, largest single
user of soft coal, kept it's mills
humming this week and appeared
determined to take no backward
step until every resource of man.
agement to keep production up
had been exhausted. There were
some cutbacks this week, but only
where coal could not be borrowed,
conf1scated or otherwise procured.
The same attitude of confidence
was evident in the motor car
industry where high production
schedules were maintained on as
sembly lines free of strike troubles
and vigorous sales programs were
pushed without stint.
In the Sprawling construction
field new houses and new COM
mercial construction proceeded
full blast with weather the only
limiting factor
The stock market confirmed
the rising tide of optimism over
prospects for an early end of the
coal strike bv smart rally on
Friday.
Weather Curbs Trade.
Retail trade again had to con-
tend with bad weather in some
sections, particularly in the rich
middle Southern States There
also was curtailed purchasing
power of uncounted thousands of
workers on strike in the populous
middle Western industrial States.
Overall volume. however, was not
much changed from the previous
week, Dun & Bradstreet said, and
was only slightly under year ago.
An encouraging factor in store
circles was the pickup in whole
sale business as orders for vari-
Gus kinds of merchandise for
spring delivery were placed in
larger volume.

Another Peak Set by
CAPITAL AirIines As
By the Associoied Press


NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The bond
market was nudged ahead by fair
demand for selected rails and some
specialties in today's brief session.
Issues of Capital Airlines, spec
tacular performer on Friday, again
featured = the rising side of the
market. The firms income As
moved to a new high at 1861 and

points to 81 on sale of two bonds.
On the down side were bonds of
the Illinois Central, Laclede Gas,
Katy Railroad, Northern Pacific
and Third Avenue Railway. Mis-
souri, Pacific bonds were narrow.
There was no activity in Gov
ernment bonds and small gains in
some Latin American and italian
bonds gave the foreign list a steady
appearance.
Sales of $1,42O,OOO compared
with $l,l30.000 last Saturday.
Coal Crisis Cuts Sales.
The corporate bond market was
in the grip of the coal crisis this
week. Trading poked along at the
sloWest pace in months and prices
moved narrowly when they moved
at all.
However, only railroad bonds
lost any ground during the week.
Utilities and industries either held
steady or gained on average, while
the railroad index retreated q
of a profit at 9.3.
Investors in rail bonds began to
see the effects of the miners walk
out on the carriers operations.

roads reported Thursday that
freight carloadings last week were

NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR (. C.
 BEING INHALED

John A.. Johnson, Regional Ex- aminer from the Washington, D. C. U. s. Coast Guard offices, will be in Juneau for six weeks installing a new accounting system to replace the anticipated system used for the past 100 years. The new system is the result of the recommendations of the Hoover Commission.
 "The Coast Guard has been chosen as a guinea pig" to see how it works out before putting the sys- tenn into government-wide opera tion," MT. Johnson said. "The sys- tenn is based on commercial ac- counting systems and is aimed to eliminate much detail and duplica- ton, to speed up auditing, decen- tralize operations and to install a system of checks and controls. The Washington headquarters office is now five or six years behind in auditing"

as to make fish traps available to Alaskan fishing communities, to fishing villages, to groups of fish ermen, to fishermens co-operatives, and to Alaskan individuals" So 1t is not matter of conservation as far as the governor is concerned
 the fish trap problem depends upon who owns the fish traps.
 However leaving the Alaska pol itics out of the book-and they are of little interest to any readers but Alaskans-"A Alaska Today' gives the reader who might want to come to Alaska the information he would want about The Great LanR'-the information he should have before he starts. his journey.
 The chapter by Frank Dufresne, former Alaskan and once head of the. Fish and Wildlife Service, is especially good.
 Denison's information about AL aska's forests, about homesites and homesteading should be very help full to prospective settlers.
 He is wrong about few things. He says that the Alaska Juneau mine is employing 1000 men, re- opened in 1946 That, of coufse we in Juneau know, is not correct, but it might send men to Juneau expecting to find employment in our mine. Alaska Juneau stock, quoted in the book as worth $9 a share on the New York market, has not been that high for many years-$21a to $3 is more nearly the price per share.
 The year of 1915 is given as the date of the Treadwell cave-in. It was 1917.
 The left handed digs at the vested interests, outside ownership and capitalism Gas in his story about Captain Lathrop-"He quail fies as civic leader though there is no tangible evidence that he has promoted any of his vast enter prises without considering potential returns for himself" and While he has yet to qualify as philanthro- pist in big way .

 Land"

Here is a tardy fulfillment of a promise to Caxton Printers, Ltd, of Caldwell, Idaho, to review B. w. Denisons Alaska Today" pub lished first in June l949 and re- vised February 1850.
 The author has done prodigious job of reading and classifying all available material on Alaska-re- ports published by the Territory, by Governor Gruening Cncluding the Governors famous Green Book with it's tirade against the 1s45 Legislature), by the Development Board, etc.
 He has written well of Alaska, and, as the book jacket says, Al aska Today" gives "an exciting and accurate record of present day re- sources and opportunities in the inviting land of the Northwest
 The Aleut' meaning of Alaska, ''The Great Land" has appealed to MT. Denison and he uses it with interesting repetition, a repetition of which we approve and which could be used by other writers to help establish Alaska as the great land" rather than land of ice and snow.
 That he has tried to be fair in presenting political issues is indi- cated by his method of following a long harangue by MT. Gruening against fish traps and absentee owners with a mention that many of the canneries were purchased from former Alaskan owners.
 Regarding fish traps, we find on Page 333 that the governor says: q believe it proper that more AL askans own fish traps. I would like to see that ownership scattered so
