The Price of Conner

Many miSgiVings are heard as to the
future Of the price Of copper, for it
would be sudden shock to the miners
of the state if copper should suddenly
drop and the high prices now being
paid $a.35 per day. dropped TO 500
There should be no fear on that score.
however for it is practically certain
that almost all of the large copper pro-
ducers are selling large tonnages OF
the metal for delivery irto 1914 and
for some months have had their entire
production sold for the year 1916. Con-
slant dividends seem assured for
considerable period. and the present
high wages will undoubtedly be in force
for MANY months to come.
The sliding scale of wages is but an
other method of Profit sharing and al
though organized labor in the east has
found profit sharing unsatisfactory, on
account of its fluctuations and com
paratlve uncertainty, the labor unions
of the west are having a period of the
highest known wages. and unprece-
dented prosperity, due entirely to the
profit sharing system.
Although the sliding scale of wages
applied to nothing over 20 cent copper,
the mining companies of the state vol
unfairly added additional profits. max
aud many of these same companies
have since increased that scale with the
increased prices.

Advices from the Boston & Arizona
