There are considerations to be safeguarded First,
that government obtain adequate supplies Of copper

receive enough compensation TO keep up their wage soae
provide for development and pay their stockholders
return their investments
The interests of all It would appear could best be
served by fixing the price Of copper at not less than 25
cents pound That would be fair to the government
asmueh the price has been Up to 81 and 30 cents If
the price went below Is cents the effect the wage scale
