Thus, |the value of that money can be ‘faxrly said to be double the original stake and it is entitled to earn !double the rate of dividends now |that should have been expected thad it been earning from the time! it was put up. Mistake in Administration Mr. Bradley's criticism of NRA 'was based largely on the manner of its administration. “A tremend- ous mistake wa smade in the man- ner of administration.” The peo- ple were virtually unanimously be- hind the President in this matter and by consent gave him almost dictatorial powers over industry and business. “They being interfered with,” he asserted Business was to be “cracked down on,” and “the big stick was used.” In the face of these tactics, he declared, opposition stirred. This developed into incipient rebellion and now that rebellion is growing all over the country. “In fact, people think it is going to be a bust,” he asserted. “Gen.

Clogged with Codes The Alaska Juneau, he said, in sympathy with the NRA system has increased its force 10 per cent above that of last year without a | corresponding increase in produc- tion. For the present, he declared no code will be submitted for it. In fact, he added, the Admin- istration does not want any new codes to handle just now. Wash- ington is cluttered up with codes. The NRA Administration has 200 codes before it for consideration which it is desired to clean up be- fore it tackles others. Jokers are continued in virtually every one submitted, he asserted He cited the copper code as an example. The copper producers agreed on a code which contained a clause giving them control of the secondary, or scarp, metal market which has held up its ap- proval. Lay Off Codes “The thing to do is to lay off Don't bother with any codes. They will get to it soon enough,” he de- clared. “No one is compelled to sign codes. There is no law compelling it. It is up to individuals what they do. Any business man, or industry, can sign a code, can cut “The net result is that those who have jobs will share them and their wages with those who have not.” He cited the code of the Cali- fornia quicksilver producers to show the evil of haste. This industry got together without delay at the outset of the NRA movement and adopted a code increasing wages and putting men back to worrk. They had a right to expect the Government would give them pro- tection against foreign producers. Yet since the code was adopted 10,000 flasks of foreign quicksilver has been imported into the country at a price less than it costs the California miners to produce it. The latter are still looking for re- lief. Eventually, he said, the Gov- ernment will get around to rem- edial acton, but in the meantime the operators have to pay losses out of their own pockets or shut down. “Fortunately, we are not pessi- mists. We have a lot of problems but we are not fearful of the out- come. Our inherent optimism is going to pull us out of the hole if nothing else does,” Mr. Bradley concluded. Walter B. King, Ketchikan attor- ney, related Ketchikan's experience with NRA. After considerable com- munication with the San Fran- cisco NRA headquarters, he said, the Ketchikan Chamber of Com- merce was advised by officials there that NRA didn’t apply at all to Alaska. He said conditions had improved in Ketchikan due to betterment in the fishing industry and hope was felt that 193¢ will be even beter. He said it was hoped at Ketchikan that the present at- tractive gold prices will aid in the velopment of gold mining in that tion. © Assurance was given the Cham- ber today by Lieut. John R. Noyes that the District Engineers’ Office will push along the Territory’s ap- plication for a bridge construction permit covering the structure over Gastineau Channel. The hearing yesterday, he termed very inter- esting. It developed various phases, in- cluding the horizontal and vertical clearance requirements to safeguard navigation. Final action is up to Washington and the District En- gineers’ Office will speed things along as rapidly as possible, he said. The Chamber was advised that the City Council had adopted reso- lutions endorsing the proposed in- | .he Channel Bridge. ner anchorage for small boats and The Chamber today endorsed the city’s application for $100,000 for permanent street and other im- provements, adopting by a unani- mous vote a resolution on that subject. During the week, the Chamber remitted $175 to St. Ann's Hospital to equip a room in the new unit of that institution. Red Cross Drive M. S.
