J. H. Field, insurance representative of the IdahoMaryland, in his talk stated the burden of workmen’s compensation insurance prevents capital from going’ into mining. The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint the Sacramento people with the operations of the mining industry and jt is. felt much good can come from the different districts uniting in studying each other’s problem's and trying to adijust them. TREASURE ISLAND REGISTERED BIG MONEY TOTAL In many ways a World’s Fair’ is like a huge theatrical production. From the front of the great stage it all looks like a big Show interesting, colorful, glamorous, But backstage a lot is going on, undetected by the public but of absorbing interest nevertheless. Treasure Island in San Francisco bay is now populated only by a few guards and small groups of workers removing and gathering together odds and ends of intriguing facts concerning their part in the great show which was the Goldeh Gate International Exposition of 1939. For example, something has now been learned of the great tides of money kept flowing by the millions of visitors over the counters of the branch of Bank of America maintained on the island, This branch cashed 260,000 checks during the 254 days the fair was per day, including Sundays and holidays! Yet with all this huge volume, ‘only about $150 was lost on bad checks, and it is expected that most of this ultimately will be recovered. This and other information was released today by Russell G. Smith, executive vice president of ‘Bank of America, who pointed out that. while this accommodation to the public was without profit to the bank it was a service cheerfully rendered, as the branch was operated as a convenience for the bank’s 2,225,000 neponiiare as well as an exhibit. Probably no single bank halide VENTIRE HERE mining committee and officials of the Sasramento Chamber of Commerce whd' came to that city on a good will tour.

And at the same time, business went on as usual! These visitors made copious use of the building’s beautiful lounge rooms, not only for rest but as a meeting place, and employees were kept busy answering telephone requests to see if ‘‘a lady with a black hat’? was sitting in the lounge, and if so, to please bring her to the phone, Mr. and Mrs, J.

Acting Secretary of -the Navy Charles Bdison reported that becaiuse of the strike against the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation, the navy has been refused permission to remove patterns belonging to it. The navy inspector, it appeared, had pleaded with the CIO strike director for permission to take the government patterns and _ castings from the plant, but had been emphatically refused. And because the navy, apparently, won’t go through one of Madame Perkins’ picket lines, ‘‘no further action was taken.” So the United States navy bows to the same superior force that has intimidated other federal departments and several governors—and. John L, Lewis is the boss of the United States. As a prophet, the President stands alone. Horror-stricken, he cried oui, on iMarch 2, 1930: “if we do not halt this steady process of building up commissions and rggulatory bodies and special legislation, like huge inverted pyramids over. every. one of the simple constitutional provisions, we shall soon be spending billions of dollars more.’’ The budget then was 3 1-2 billions of dollars. This year it is over 9 billions. Five months of the ‘economy and efficiency’? we were promised last spring, have added 54,000 civil emU. S. BUSINESS? U a 939. Bartlett, Betty Young, Mary ee.
