It Is unlikely that there was anything
In the nature OF organized support IN
the general list. This for the simple
reason that the pressure OF stock was IN
significant. The market vas really a
very small AFFAIR. There was no great
pressure to sell. Some relatively large
declines were registered and the list ex-
hibited little rallying power. but this
was obviously caused by a temporary
suspension OF speculative buying. Cash
buyirt continued. one firm with a casa

200 shares Of the total. Under the cir

THE COPPER MARKET.
E~I~ctroIytic Hits 20 Cent and Lead
SIX Cent Level.

Twenty cent copper and six cent lead
were the two most important develop
ments of the metal markets yesterday,
1t was learned early in tho morning that
big business in electrolytic copper had
taken place on Tuesday night at 20
cents by one or two producers and
when this became noised about the
market quite generally was placed on a
90 cent basis.
The volume OF business done in cop
per Yesterday was exceedingly large and
followed several days OF extraordinarily
heavy business. Total for the week was
estimated last night at about 100, 900, 900
pounds.
The squirt In lead which has carried
the price up two cents a pound In the
past fortnight was perhaps even more
startling than the new advance In cop
per prices. for lead has been practically
dormant for a number OF years, Its
average price has been close to 4 cents
a pound.
only the American Smelling and Re
fning Company raised its price 10 s
cents yesterday from 5a4 cents namtd
on the preceding day, Big business was

WHY ITALY HAS
GONE TO WAR
She May Now Recover Her
Lost Provinces.
MATTER OF NATIONAL PRIDE
Big Fleet Available - Territory
Asked About 5000 Square
Miles, With 100000
Population.

The entrance of Italy into the world
war, which began last August, brings
the number of states engaged in the
conflict up to IL. Italy, allied with
Germany and Austria-Hungary since
1882 in the Triple Alliance, was called
upon last summer, shortly after the
assassination of the Austrian Crown
Prince at Saraezo, Bosnia, to support
the GermaDic empires. She declined
and there began series of diplomatic
negotiations which soon resolved
themselves into efforts on the part of
Germany and Austria-Hungary to in
duce Italy to remain neutral
| Prince Won Buelow, an astute Ger
man statesman, whose wife is an
Italian woman, was sent to Rome with
instructions to do his utmost to save
the situation. He labored indefatigably
for months, but in vain. He offered
Italy certain parts of Austrian terri
tory as the price of her neutrality, but
her answer was always, ut is not
enough" 1t now appears that Austria
did not really believe that Italy would
enter the field against her
In the meantime there had arisen in
Italy a war party, led by the "Irredent-
lists" which made its voice heard in
no uncertain terms. Dispatches from
Rome for months past have indicated
that the sentiment for active participa-
ton in the war was stronger by far
than that on the side of continued neu-
rality
For months the diplomatic ex.
changes between Vienna and Rome
had been constant, but the most per.
sistent efforts of the diplomats to keep
italy out of the war were futile. The
Triple Alliance was denounced by
Italy on May 4, but even after this
diplomatic endeavors were continued
Austria offering Italy further conces
sions as late as May 10.
Large Forces On italian Front.
Italy's first move on land undoubt
edly will be against the Austrian from
tier. Large numbers of her troops are
modified in this territory. and the
forces of Austria-Hungary are lined W
on the other side of the boundary The
very mountainous character of the
Terrain where the opposing armies
face each other, the southern part o.
the Austrian Alps, promises operations
and fighting OF the most Difficult
nature.
So far as known, the Italian feet il

mand of the Duke of the Abruzzi, wht
is known to many Americans through
his visits to the United States som,
10 years ago. 1t is generally believed
that the feet will proceed prompt.

in these waters.
To Regain "Unredeemed Italy"
One great purpose of Italy in enter
ing the war is to gain possession o
"Unredeemed Italy" sweep of Aus
trian territory to the north and cas-
near the head of the Adriatic Sea
This region, which includes Trent an,
Trieste, is Italian in all but nationality

MINIMUM WAGE
LAWS A SUCCESS
Department of Labor Makes
Public interesting Report.

Brought About Because It Was
Shown Women Were Being
Paid Too Low Wages.

Washington. report just made
public the Department of Labor makes
the interesting statement that mini
cess wherever it has been in effect
long enough to show results. 1t is
said that the movement apparently
has benefited employers and employees.
I'm New Zealand and Australia
where minimum-wage laws have been
in operation for more than Is years"
says the report, industries have
grown steadily and minimum-wage
laws apparently have in no way
checked their growth
Speaking of the mininum-wage
movement in the United States, the
report says:
I'm the United States minimum
wage legislation was brought about
because OF the disclosures made by
official and private investigations,
showing that thousands of women
wage-earners were being paid wages
too low to afford them a reasonable
standard of living A case in point
of the many which are cited is that Of
department and retail stores in New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
where the weekly earnings of 40 per
cent. were less than Sc, while "A per
cent. earned less than IS week
Massachusetts First
| Massachusetts, in June, 1912,
passed the first minimum-wage law,
and Oregon, Utah, Washington, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Colorado, Califor-
mia and Wisconsin followed in the or
der named.
1t is noteworthy that the minimum
wage laws have been made to apply
to men as well as to women and chill
dren in every country except the
United States, where only women and
children are protected.
I'm Utah the rates are fixed by the
statute In all the other American
States the necessary cost of living is
made the basis for the minimum wage,
and the administration of the law is in
the hands of appointed commission
ers, who act upon the findings and
recommendations of wages boards
composed of an equal number of rep
resentatives of the employers and of
the employees, together with one or
more representatives of the public.
Prosperity Has Followed
IAN the evidence obtainable from
American States which have put in
effect the legal minimum wages goes
to confirm the experience Of the Aus
tralian States, where the prosperity of
the working class has been raised,
gross sweating reduced and general
business conditions have thriven. In
Utah, for example, where minimum
wage law became effective early in
1913, the wages of women and girls
were raised, payTolls were not in
creased more than per cent, wages
failed to extend down to the minimum
level; efficiency, according to many
employers, increased, and the law
tended to equalize the cost of produc
ton or sale among manufacturers and
merchants"
