SAYS COPPER
STORED HERE
5000 Tons Said to be Held Up
in This City in Order to Restrict
Market and Keep Up Price.

NEW YORK Jan. 2S: S:-Startling al
legations of the methods OF the Cop
per Trust in storing vast quantities
of the material and refusing to sell
it except in small quantities and at
high prices, were contained in a let
ter which President James Noroton,
of the recently organized Northeast
ern Metal Dealers Association, sent
to Attorney General Bonaparte at
Washington in connection with his
organization appeal for federal in
temperance with the trust
President Noroton declared that
the trust has copper stored in the fol-
lowing places: Perth Amboy, 5000
tons; Bayonne, LOO tons; Butte,
Mont, 5000 tons; Bisbee, Ariz.,
5000 tons. and Canannea, Mexico,
and Houghton, Mich, each $500
tons. Much of this copper is declar-
ed to have been under seal since last
October. 1t is also charged that the
steamer Hindustan made a trip to
and from South Africa with 1000
tons of copper as ballast, and since
has sailed to South America with the
copper still in her hold.
1--WE submit that the present dan
ger to the trade is not so much the
high price of copper as is the fear
that the price, being held t,an ar
tificial height, may be lowered sud-
denly should the copper combination
succeed in selling Its ,stored-up pro-
duct at the present quotations." says
President Noroton in conclusion.

Trade-Object is to Unite the Men
for their Mutual Protection.
The Terra Gotta Workers Union Of
this city succeeded in holding one OF
the largest mass meetings in Union
hail. Saturday night, that has ever
been held here. Over 200 terra Gotta
workers, representing all the branch-
es of terra Gotta work, were present.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
At intervals cheers and applause
drowned the words of the speakers
Addresses were made by Frank
Bullworth, a noted union worker OF
Philadelphia; Herman Robinson,
who organized the present local terra
Gotta workers union; Second Vice
President Arthur Al Quinn, Of the
United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, and the
president of the local Central Labor
Union, George Walker. The speeeh-
es were interesting, and the workers.
who had never before belonged tdN
any union, were much impressed.
Another meeting will be held SOON
at which time the new union will be
organized, If possible.
The Reason for Organizing.
The reason for forming this new
union, as stated in the NEWS recent
ly, is to uphold the present position
of terra Gotta workers. The men fear
that wages and hours will be greatly
changed as a result of the recent
combine among the factories, and
they are taking this method of main-
tanning their present footing. 1t is
stated that one of the results Of the
recent combination is that a worker
who has deliberately left his position
or been discharged at one factory
cannot receive employment at any OF
the other factories within the trust.
The new union, it is stated, win
not commence active work at once
The plan is to wait and see what the
combine proposes to do.
The meeting Saturday night was
only step toward organization, but
it shows the willingness of all terra
Gotta workers to get together. The
next meeting will be held, probably,
in larger and more comfortable quar-
ters. Union hall, at Saturdays meet
ing, was crowded to the doors. Men
were busy all day Saturday hauling
up extra chairs, and even so the room
was crowded.
