THE MINING CONGRESS

The effectiveness of the American
Mining Congress is to be greatly in
creased by plan, as announced by the
Board of Directors, of having local of
GERS and subsidiary organizations in each
Of the mining centers, where no active
associations are now in existence. Here
tofore the congress has been exclusively
national in its scope. giving little atten-
ton to the local problems that vex the
camps individually, but its growing
strength in all the mining States, will
now large membership in each, has
suggested a new arrangement under
which each State will have its own local
branch organization, with local officers
and committees in charge. The national
organization will thus be brought into
close contact with the small operator as
well as the large one, and the entire
strength of the national body will, il
necessary, be thrown behind anv local
movement for relief from conditions
generally oppressive to the industry.
Besides having vice president for
each State, who will preside over all 10
cal meetings, and look after the local
aftairsy of the Mining Congress, standing
committees will be appointed by the
congress for each State, for the purpose
OF ascertaining how the industry is To-
cally affected by such questions as the
forest reserves, smelter rates, transport
alton rates, labor conditions. etc.
