PRICE FIXING UNDER
NRA WILL BE LIMITED
Price fixing under the NRA will be
limited to a small number of "natural
resources" industries wherein extremes
in competition have resulted in serious
injury to the public, it is declared by
Shirl H. Blalock, regional manager of
the NRA for Washington, Montana and
Wyoming, in answering publicly the
inquiries which reach the district of
fice.
This matter was virtually settled by
adoption of a policy of opposition to
general price fixing provisions, direct
or indirect, in all codes which action
has just been taken by the consumers'
advisory board of the NRA, he points s
out -
of
of
of
Mr. and Mrs. Eric Erickson were]
Spokane visitors the last of last week. ;
In such cases where price fixing is
permitted it will be the object of the
framers of the NRA codes that public
responsibility for the reasonableness of
the prices will be fixed upon "code
authority" of the industry, he explains.
Where codes bar selling below cost
it is recommended that provisions bo
included to tell the public what the cost
is. Otherwise, it is contended, the pub

The Libby fire department was* called

Hollywood Visit
Junior Woman's Club Given Interesting
Treat at Last Meeting—Many
Planning to Join.
The members of the Junior Woman's
club were presented with a real treat
at their meeting Tuesday night when
LaMar Rowland told them, in an easy
conversational manner, of
visit to Hollywood and entertainment
by the famous James Cagney. LaMar's
address was the highlight of a very in
teresting program. He told many hu
morous incidents of his visit and all
of it was intensely interesting, state
the young women who were present.
At the opening of the meeting, Miss
Inez Ratekin, newly elected president,
welcomed the guests and members. An
other interesting feature was a talk by
Mrs, Alice Farris on Senior Woman's
club meetings and the Christmas seal
sale. Mrs. Marguerite Davidson and
Mrs. Amy Bessey were appointed to
help Mrs. Farris in that work.
Miss Laura Riley, as chairman of the
entertainment committee, had a fine
program prepared, Clarence
sang two numbers and Miss Viola Bes
sey gave two musical readings, both
features being much enjoyed.
During the business session, Miss
Beatrice Larson was named chairman
of the courtesy committee, and Mrs. Vir
ginia Gompf will be delegate to the
next meeting of the Senior Woman's
club. All committees have not been ap
pointed because so many new girls are
planning to join the club.
Coffee and doughnuts were served
by the hostesses, Inez Ratekin, Laura
Riley, Gerta Krause, Amy Bessey and
Beatrice Larson.
The hall was decorated beautifully
with many loimiy flowers by Mrs. Jack
Hafstead, MrtT Velma Boyle and Mrs.

From Spokane
Wanted for Alleged Stealing of 500
to 600 Pounds of Metal From

from Spokane Monday bringing with
him George Cryderman and Fred Nel
son of that city, the two men being

of lead, coppét and zinc from the
Snowstorm mine at Troy. It is under
stood they admit the crime. They are
being held in the county jail.
It is said that last Friday Cryder
man and Nelson appeared at Troy
driving a truck, that they went to the
mine and purloined from five to six
hundred pounds of metal, took it down
to the river and melted it down. They
later drove into Spokane, so it is said,
and sold the metal to the Alaska Junk
company, receiving $27.90 for it. It is
said the two men drove . into this sec

Lroid Creek, near Deer Lodge and fo
cused the attention of the world on
Montana, the Treasure state has pro
duced more than three hundred million
dollars in gold, according to a report
by u. M. Sahipen released today at
Montana School of Mines. Mr, Sabinen
is statistician for the State Bureau of
Mines and Geology.
Figures compiled by Mr. Sabinen
show that from 1862 to 1932, inclusive,
Montana produced gold valued at $303,
496,883. It is the first time that such
an estimate has been published, so far
as is known. Such an amount of the
yellow metal would form a cube less
than 10 feet on an edge, it is estimated.
'The years from 1930 to 1932, indu
sive, show considerably less than a mil
lion dollars a year, the lowest gold pro
duction in the history of the state, with
the single execution of 1862," Mr. Sa
hinen reports. 'Part of this decrease is
perhaps due to the slump in other met
al markets, because from 1916, when
