BANKER REPLIES
MINE CRITICS
A Chicago banker who had
been criticized because of certain
mining investments he had made,
in replying U> the criticism, is
quoted as saying:
“Mines will be producing mil
lions of gold, silver, and copper
in that future day when national
banks are unknown. A mine con
tains a crop already raised, har
vested and on deposit for you to
check against at your pleasure.
“Mining has made the United
States the richest country in the
world. Mining is an industry as
necessary to the welfare of the
community as the raising of
crops. Show me a country with
out mines and I will show you a
people in degradation and pov
"eirty.
“Mining is the second industry
in the United States. Mining has
transformed more poor men into
millionaires and raised them to
positions of honor and trust than
any other business.
“Mining has scored Hess than
35% failures against 95% of fail
ures shown in general merchan
dising business in the United
States.
“Without the products of the
mines you would have neither a
frying pan, a spoon, a pin or a
monetary circulation medium.
Eliminate the mines and you set
civilization back to the dark
ages.
“Outside of the element of
great personal profit which will
accrue to us as bankers who are
able to supply the money to open
great mines, it behooves us to
foster an industry upon which
the prosperity of not alone our
depositors, but the entire nation,
exists.”
Two Kinds of Claims
a *
- It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.

Industry Issues
Statement
Seattle, April 4 — The labor j
committee of the Canned Salmon :
Industry issued the following
statement today. The statement;
is signed by A. I. E lsworth. chair
man of the committee.
“The Canned Salmon Industry
for the past several years has!
negotiated with Unions represent
ing the thousands of workers in
this industry. The industry this1
year is again negotiating with!
the same union with whom it;
dealt last year.
“It is of course apparent that
regardless of any agreement be
tween the packers and the unions
with whom they are now nego
tiating, it will be impossible for'
the industry to operate unless j
labor can speedily settle the dis
pute within its own ranks and
dispose of the jurisdictional con
flict that is now preventing the
loading of supp’ies and the dis
patching of cannery boats and
steamers for Alaska.
“The industry desires to make
it clear that the packers who in
tend to operate in Alaska this
year have offered agreements re!
ative to wages, hours and condi
tions of work on the same basis
as final y prevailed in 1938 out
of Puget Sound ports.
“In the light of present and
prospective prices for canned sal
mon, such conditions and wages
place a burden on the industry
that, makes profitable operation
dec’dedly questionable. The in
dustry’s offer can be adhered to
only if it will result in agree
ments being speedily signed with
all the unions with whom the
packers deal. It is obvious that
unless an accord can be reached
with all of the groups involved
it would be futif.e to expend
large amounts preparing for a
season’ pack with no assurance
of being able to operate.
“The packers feel that in sub
mittng this offer they are tend
ering the very best proposition
that they can possibly make.
They have gone so far only be
cause of their feeling of respon
sibility to the Territory and peo
ple of Alaska; the people of Pu
get Sound and adjacent territory
and to the thousands of individ
uals and businesses who directly
or indirectly are dependent upon
the continued operation of the
salmon canning industry in Al
aska.
