ABOUT COPPER.
Corner was stronger in yesterday S
trading. but closed weak. In this connec-
ton the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Observation-Disclosures
says:
..Thc Departmet of Justice is looking
into the affairs of the AmalGamated Cop
per Company, at the request of attorneys
representing dissatisfied stockhoLdefs-
Officials of the department nave beesi
in conference with Boston, New YORK
and Montana authorities, put the resuie !.
of the conference is not yet Known.
at is too early to say that the Amaiga-
mated toprf=r Company is going to be
prosecuted under the antitrust law; but
the attorneys for dissatisfied stockholders
insist that the government shoulr TAKE
action which will reveal 10 the puSllc the
actual condition of the properties when
the company controls 1t mas oeen re-
ported to the department. that the ANAL
camated Company and other copper III
terests are about to enter into 81 combi-
nation not unlike the Addystone Pipe
and Steel Company, which agreement
was dissolved at the last session CT the
United States Supreme Court. The lnVeS-
tigation begun at the. Montana end is
said to relate to this phase of the matter.
The department is looking not only
into the copper combination. but also into
other combinations; although there IS no
evidence yet which would Justify proSests-
tipn under the antitrust law. The pas
sage of the Presidents message relating
to trusts will not specify any p1trticuists
combinations of capital 1t win sinpi,
recommend legislation providinG; Tor q
decree of publicity in the affairs OF al
such combinations, the ramitieauons Oh
which extend into different States.

ean,ated Copper Company to the atteii-
ton of the Department OF Justice are

and Boston stockholders.
