REAL TARIFF FIGHT DUE

A warning was Issued to the Utah leac
ore producer yesterday by George W. RI
ter, the well-known Salt Lake mining en-
sineer and the chairman OF tho commit
tee OF mineral statistics Of the American
Mining congress who believes the Utah
In fact the western producers Of lead
ores. are falling into the error more em-
hstically from day to day OF neglecting
the compila ton OF statistics showing the
cost Of production.
NO matter which of the principal po-
litical parties controls the next session
of congress. the western producer OF
lead ore is going to get rough treatment
on the tariff schedule, and if he does
get rough treatment he will have no one
but himself TO blame said Mr.. Ritter to
The Tribune.
THE western lead producer Is making
the greatest mistake OF his life In emu
lating the example Of the foolish virgins
In the parable. Up TO the present time
suits from a tariff stsnpoiut by the trad
Ing Of votes only, and not by making
sufficiently convincing statistical show
Ing TO justify the protection given by the
laws. The next congress Is going to
tackle the metal tarff schedules with
sleeves rolled above the elbow, and II the
western producer wants favorable action.
II he deserves the protection OF the pres
ent Import duties; he must begin gather
entation at the logical moment II the
west falls In this duty 10 itself II Will
be caught mapping and. as I say, the west
viii have only itself to blame.

he writes that he has completed a visit
TO the principal coal mining centers OF

they are roasted, returned to the mine

the years 1920 to 1868. At the latter
date an enormous cave-in occurred, kill

What Threatens Industry.

by production costs I do moi mean
merely the liquidatlng costs. but the ex-
penditures made by companies on equip
ping and developing their properties for
production must be figured, for no other
course possibly could be considered good
business. The Importance OF this stats
teal phase Of the matter is apparent to
anyone pausing to consider the effect OF
reduction in the lead tariff. 1t will af-
feet not only the lead and silver mines
Of Utah, but the smelling industry as
there are great many mines OF the
state not producing lead ore at all which
VIII be without smelling facilities. for
their ores In large number OF cases
are not tho kind to be reduced by cop
per sDelter. The effect. therefore. is
very far reaching and IL Is not an easy
matter TO figure out Wliy the mineral pro-
ducing interests of Utah are willing TO let
the present unfavorable situation remain
without an effort to remedy it,
The census for 1910. as far as II re-
lated TO the mining industry, was taken
with more than ordinary care. and with
a view of having these government sta
ti.tics published. the mineral statistics
committee Of the American Mining con-
gress has been In communication with
the director Of the census bureau. These
figures should be properly tabulated and
Instructive for the entire mining indus
try. The director has promised to do all
he can. but no appropriation as yet has
been provided for In congress 10 this i'm
portant end. The plan was to Ia aoulate
the western silver and lead returns Of the
western states separate from the mines
or the Mississippi valley section.

Utah Refuses Aid.

II do not know why this crisis in the
progress and prosperity OF Utah is not
being anticipated. and remedies made
sure before II IL too late. The impor-
tance OF this matter has been empha sized
so much that one would think some ac-
ton would be taken with cheerfuness,
but positively nothing ever comes of IL,
II is only when the producers are con-
fronted with the Imperative necessity for
action that they become aroused and then
they get panic stricken and helpless just
as they did several months ago, When
tariff schedules on lead and zinc was be-
fore congress there was not dollar OF
Utah money. nor single representative
of the lead producers of Utah. contributed
to fight the tariff reduction. vet this is
one of the greatest OF Utah Industries.
There is going TO be plenty Of room
for another panic In lead ranks pretty
soon, and IL will be the greatest in his
tory for congress is going to stir things
up In grand style II the lead tariff is
reduced to the extent OF closing our Utah
mines and smelters. reducing the railroad
earnings and removing millions OF dollars
in trade from our merchants, who will be

Mr.. Ritter was asked as TO the need of
q lead tariff, and he stated that mighty
near as much money went Into the ground
after lead ore In Utah as Is taken out.
There is q profit on the whole, but such

Two Remedies Available.

$50 there are two ways in which the
west can and should act. The producers
should see to II that this appropriation Is
made by congress, or. falling In that, they
should prepare their own statistics. II
IL happens that 1t is too late now to take
the former course, then the only in1me-
diate logical action is the latter.
''All previous endeavors to get the Utah
lead producers to co-operate in the prep
aratlon Of production statistics have failed
miserably, the majority of companies
having refused to assist for one stated
reason or the other. with the result that
the state is absolutely barren OF definite
data to help preserve one OF the state s
greatest industries. The officials of COM
panies should realize that in their official
capacity they occupy positions OF trust.

not the lead producers be equally as alert
