Dan Jones, Territorial minirig
engineer, returned last Friday
from a three-day examination of
the tin mining on Buck Creek. He
reporth that Clifford Smith, man
ager of the Northern Tin Company
is about ready to close down op- j
erations for this year after a very
successful season. Dan says they
are using equipment new to this
part of the country.
They have a movable dragline
which buckets the dirt into a sta- j
tionarv trommel screen, and the
tin is concentrated after screening
by means of Pan American Jiggs,
al of which makes for a very high
recovery.
Mr. Jones was unable to inspect j
the property of the United States
Tin corporation because of the
poor flying conditions in the Lost
River region. Mr. Macintosh is
manager of this operation and has
some thirty men working in there
this year.
Mr. Jones states that according
to the E&MJ market report, the
RFC has posted a price of 96c a
pound for Grade A tin which

Near Agreement
SAN FRANCISCO, </P> — West
Coast longshoremen and their em
ployers said Saturday they had
reached agreement on virtually all
issues unresolved in last Decem
ber’s back-to-work agreement.
Wage review talks will contin
ue despite the Sept. 30 deadline
for complete accord.
The joint statement by the In
ternational Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union and the
Pacific Maritime Association was
made after a negotiating session
which lasted until midnight Fri
day.
The PMA issued a separate
statement saying it also had reach
ed agreement with t hree other
West Coast maritime unions ex
tending contracts past the Sept. 30
expiration date.
The yare the coastwise contracts
of the Sailors’ Union of the Paci
fic, the Master Mates and Pilots
association and the International
longshoremen’s association, AFL.
The third named contract cov
ers the Washington ports of Ta
coma, Port Angeles and Anacor
tes only.
A PMA spokesman said stop
ping the clock against the Sept. 30
deadline in the contract re-nego
tiations and wage review talks
gave complete assurance of unin
terrupted steamship service in all
West Coast ports.

panies and 50 iron ore minim
firms in what may prove to b
one of the most quiet steel strike
in American history.
Mills had begun to close dowi
operations as much as two day
before the strike deadline. Scat
tered wildcat strikes dotted th
nation before the scheduled end c
the truce asked by President Tit
man and accepted by both unio
and industry.
Mr. Truman had three times ir
tervened—delaying the strike a t(
tal of 76 days. But last night 1
refused to butt in again.
The average steelworker, eari
ing $1.65 hourly, makes about $(
for a 40-hour week. This meai
i that the strike costs workers abo'
$3,300,000 in wages weekly.
The steel industry is losing th
sum and more in weekly profi1
A long strike could start a slii
toward recession and even depre
sion. PTesent steel reserves are e
pected to last three to six weeks.
If the current walkout lasts
long as the 1946 strike—29 days
it could result in forced unei
ployment for another milli
workers. With such diminisn
buying power business would fe
the pinch, too.
Parking meters were first i
stalled in American cities in 191:
