Now that Governor Hughes has
retired from politics and assembled to

in the world, the fact can be acknowl-

During his two terms he has signed
fifty-six labor laws, including among
them the best labor laws ever enacted
in this or any other state. He has
urged the enactment of labor laws in
his messages to the legislature, even
going so far as to place the demand
for a labor law in one Of his mes
sages to an extra session OF the legis-

been enacted in this state since its

third OF these, exceeding in quality all

COPPER SITUATION
is UNPRECEDENTEI

Present conditions with copper ar
unprecedented, according to the En-
gineering and Mining Journal, whicl
says:
THE present situation in copper i
unprecedented. The causes LEADING
up to it are clear. With a shortage
of refining capacity and difficulty o
increasing it, a large part of the ex
rected production during the frs
half of 1917 was taken out of tht
market by one huge purchase by thu
allied governments. Domestic users
of copper subsequently became panic
stricken and rushed to buy the re
mainder of the probable output Of
1917.
Therefore we find ourselves In
the situation where nearly all of the
expected production for seven months
ahead has been sold. Conversely, II
is probable that the expected require
ments have been covered. The bru-
tai. reckless buying of the last fort
night must mark the elimination, or
the close approach of it, of the sat
isfying of the large needs.
Cessation of buying there must be
some day. Then we shall face the
position where all the copper to be
produced for six or seven months
ahead has been sold and all the cop
per to be needed has been bought.
Buying nay then extend into the
second half of 1917, as 1t has already
upon a relatively small scale. but
sooner or later, there must be a halt
in the recklessness of people commit
ing themselves so far ahead.
Assuming that presently there
will develop such a halt, we may ex-
pect a prolonged period of dullness in
the market, for producers will have
no more copper to sell and users will
need to buy no more. There will.
however, be a copper market on
small transactions, for there will be
some users who have held aloof with
the nerve to take their chances later
on, while on the other hand there
will be some who will find themselves
overbought and will be DESTROYS of
reselling. Moreover. producers will
come into possession of small sup
plies held in reserve for safety in
conducting their business. which
will be gradually released as time
wears on. And there will be Other
ameliorative factors. As between
production and consumption we ars
probably approaching a state o.
equilibrium F."
