E: year the request of the Legislature, Con- gress has suspended the provision for assessment, the theory that it would aid in readjustment In the States suspension still effect year but Alaska has not been included in the action and it will be necessary for claim holders to do their $100 worth of work on lode claims and $100 worth per each 20 acres or fraction thereof on placer holdings. Some claim holders will feel that Alaska is being discriminated against they may be than half right. But it must be remembered that Alaska’s aim is to develop its mineral resources, and develop- since at on this is in and more ment work doesn't come with suspension of assessmen: work. The streams and hills in the States in such min- ing areas as they have are filled with workers dig- ging a few dollars out here and there and keeping off relief rolls. There are literally thousands of them struggling around decrepit model T's make a living. Fact is our entire population doesr't amount to half the number that the scrambling for in trying to a living in the hills of California, for example. Here claims have been lying idle for four years but we do have some relief workers. Requirement of assessment work may be the very thing that will bridge in the gap for scores of them right now if claim holders will get busy. These men need the work and the claim holder may very well find just the thing he is looking for—that paying vein—by starting operations. Of course, there are many who will work their own claims but there are thousands of claims throughout the Territory held by individ- uals and companies who expect to hire their assess- ment work done. Here's an opportunity to give unemployment in Alaska a real blow this summer, and at the same time bring about development work.

To this he added If one considers the accumulated need of the country for steel for replacement purposes, due to ordinary wear and tear as well as to obsolescence in all the capital-goods industries, the conclusion is inescapable that either now or very soon in the future these needs mus be satisfied, else all commerce and all industry in the nation will suffer very great injury. His judgment, as expressed to the shareholders, was that continuance of recent demands from con- sumers would result in the gradual attainment of a normal status of production. Precisely what would be a “normal status” may possibly be a matter of debate. During the years immediately preceding the breakdown of October, 1929, the steel industry was working at or near 100 per cent of capacity. Last month, according | to Mr. Taylor the Steel Corporation operated at 60 per cent; but the estimates for the steel industry at have been rapidly advancing in recent weeks. The Iron Age's estimate for the current week oduction of 66 per cent of capacity, as compared a month ago and with 46 at this time in 1935. ly the trade would class as normal a production ar half-way between the present rate and iepression output Probs somewhat n the immediate pre The Steel Corporation’s Chairman pointed out correctly why the course of the steel industry is a | faithful index to industrial recovery in general. At the present time the demands for manufactured steel are handicapped by the condition of the railways, whose prolonged deficit in earnings during the depression has rendered them cautious about indulging in large pur- chases for renewals and improvements, In the recov- ery after the reaction of 1921, requisitions on the steel trade were heavily increased by the shortage of hous- ing facilities, whose extent, as a consequence of war- me restrictions, had been greatly underrated. At the present time the demand for structural steel has shown signs of expansion, but not at the old-time rate. On | the other hand, orders for steel from the automobile industry show evidence of becoming, as they were a | year ago, an important factor in the making of steel eneral Motors Company this week reported that sales of cars for March were the largest on ord for that month, having been equaled by no month since May, 1928, and that sales for the complet- ed first quarter of 1936 were the largest for that period in the history of the company. This sudden and rapid expansion of motor car purchases is one of the strik- ing phenomena in the period of recovery. Relentless Pursuit—and Silence New York Herald-Tribune) i The arrest by special agents of the Department ot | Justice of eight men charged with the theft of $590,- | 000 of United States Treasury notes is a notable ex ample of the valuable work being done by Chief J. r Hoover and the men of the Federal Bureau of westigation. It has already resulted in recovery ot $310,000 of the stolen securities and may force sur- render of the rest. The crime was one of the most puzzling in the history of New York's financial dis trict. On a December morning in 1934 messengers de- livered the notes to the United States Trust Company, at 45 Wall Street, to be exchanged for bonds. A mo- ment later they had vanished. Police cordons were immediately thrown about the district and an inten- sive hunt was begun, without result. Special agents of the Department of Justice be- | came interested when it was learned that some of the stolen securities had been taken out of the state—a Federal offense—and that an attempt was being made to make a market for them. This was difficult. Five of the notes were for $100,000 apiece; nine were for $10.000. It was certain that their numbers would be posted in every bond and brokerage office and that the thieves were somewhat in the same predicament of the man in Mark Twin’s £1,000,000 Bank Note.” The large denominations gave the Federal men their chief hope. They went to work so secretly that when one of the suspects was seized in Topeka, nearly a year ago, was found to have one of the $10,000 notes hidden in his hatband and was indicted by a Federal grand jury, the fact was not known until the day before yesterday. Other arrests, with the same absence of publicity, were made in West Palm Beach Fla.—where one of the $100,000 notes was recovered—and in this city, where a capture produced another of the main securities. A third was seized in New York while negotiations t its transfer to another state were going on. The case of the Federal Bureau men is, theretore, practically complete after sixteen months of secret, silent work. Their success emphasizes the great ad- vantage possessed by law-enforcement agents who are not restricted by state lines, who usually are unknown in the localities where they are engaged and who, therefore, are not expected to announce from day to day the progress of their investigations. More retic- ence in this respect by police authorities everywhere would deprive criminals of one of their chief sources of information and might promote general respect for the law. Certainly the community could do with a little more. One trouble aboui floods is that they don’t use ap with their water.)—(Indianapolis New: Opportunity! Just Think!
