only as many days a week as is neces-
sary to secure a living. In England
it is a violation of the Defence Of the
Realm act for workman or business
executive to absent himself without
good cause from any work in which
the government has an interest, will
fully to miscarry instructions, or to
impede production in any way. Our
shipbuilding industry illustrates glar-
ingly the lack Of cooperation on the
part of labor. Several Of the large
yards which are building warships ard
merchant vessels not only are handl-
CAPPED By an insufficient number Of
men, but are unable to get full per-
Torrance from the men they have. A
yard on the Delaware employs 5000
men, and could use $500 more. Mean,
while instructions come from the Sec
rotary of the Navy TO speed up"
Bonuses have been offered to the men
for overtime and Sunday work. Some
Of the workmen will work on Sunday
for double-time pay and clay off" on
Monday, so that actual production is
not increased, but costs are. In fact,
this disposition of the workmen 70
take one or two days off every week
in addition to the Sunday rest is a
problem that may only be solved by
government action. Shipbuilders have
gone to Washington TO get advice on
methods of increasing the number Of
workmen and preventing waste OF
time, but the attitude Of shipping su-
thorites there is that they have
troubles enough on their hands at pres
ent without taking up the labor prob
lem. Nevertheless shipbuilders are con-
WINGED that something in the nature
of conscription of shipbuilding labor
must eventually come if our ship pro-
gramme is TO be success. They have
regarded the labor question as OF even
greater seriousness than the differ
ences in the Shipping Board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. That
trouble has at last been settled by the
Presidents belated action, but the
present attitude of labor threatens she
activities OF the government through
out the war unless decisive steps are
taken.-The Iron Age.

Copper Market Outlook

During the period of uncertainty
over what the policy Of Washington is
going TO be, the inquiries of domestic
manufacturers have been few and far
between, and, some interests in copper
being DESTROYS of selling, the market
has been weak. Why should any man
ufacturer want to buy when he has
been given to understand by Washing
ton that the price for copper is going
to be reasonable" and is going to BE-
the same TO everybody? OF course,
there is doubt as to what Washington
means by reasonable" 1t is possible
that 81 or CSC pound will be pro-
nounced reasonable. However, the
idea has been promoted that the price
for copper is going to be lower than
now, and therefore the manufacturer
naturally stays out of the market. If
the price for copper is to be lower, it
will be, we think, owing to natural
conditions and not to any ukase by
Washington. Washington may COM
mandeer copper and other things for
the purposes Of the government, leav-
ing the price to be determined by the
courts, but Washington is not going
TO abrogate the law of supply and de-
mand, no matter what theories on that
subject may be entertained. Manu-
facturers and other consumers of cop
per might as we'll make up their minds
to that. The price for copper is going
70 be determined by the quantity of
it that the world requires. The price
must be such as will produce that
quantity. When unsold stocks begin
to accumulate, the signal will be
hoisted that the world is not needing
so much copper as is being produced,
and after a brief period of stabiliza-
ton the market will commence to go
off. As yet, stocks of copper have not
begun 10 accumulate. II there were
signs of any such accumulation, they
were but sporadic. The supply Of
crude copper was in excess of the re-
fning capacity, and undoubtedly there
we're accumulations of crude copper
However, the check in production by
the current labor troubles is rapidly
reducing any such accumulation, il
complete reduction has not already
happened, and the time is in sight
when the refiners viii not have SUN .

ant prospect either for domestic con-

Facing the Facts

A great national league is being
formed, which has for its object Wv
ing bread to the public at the lowest
possible cost commensurate with the
price of the raw material and the
actual value Of the service rendered N
producing it. One can join 1t vo'un-
tarily, and, by cooperation, help i 20
gain its object, or he can hang Lack
and be coerced into joining, or put out
of business entirely and permanently.
There will be no room for subterfuge;
the choice is clear. The very best
thing for the baking trade to do is to
come forward in the utmost frankness,
with nothing TO conceal and no undue
advantage TO gain; with but one idea
in mind, that of serving its country
first and itself last. II it does so, II
will win the thanks of the people. but
if it tries any small tricks of trade or
attempts to take any advantage o! the
situation, it will neither deserve or re-
ceive credit, but will be forced tc do
what is required of it in this grea:
emergency. Each baker should con-
slider this issue for himself, whether
he Re a large or a small factor in the
industry, and, having decided in favor
of the right course, ne should act ac-
cordingly in his relations with the
consuming public, putting his. bus.ress
on a basis where it will be above
criticism or suspicion. With an up
right heart and clear conscience he
may then prepare TO meet the future.

can come TO him from any change In

The main feature Of interest in II.
steel trade continues to be the MIA,

government or by contractors who h,,.

the government in securing need.s

There is reason to believe that .her,

shipbuilding; for other products Their.
is no disposition to cut produeer'
profits to the quick. and the return,
allowed through manufacturers on GOV.
eminent contracts for highly finished
material are eminently satisfactory.
New Contracts
II is intimated at Washington tia,
contracts for seventy-fve more caro-
boats-wood, steel and composite
have been verbally let, and ALREADY
inquiries for $4,000 to 10000 tons Of
steel against some Of these prospeetiv,
orders are being circulated. The FED.
eral Shipbuilding Company, the new
subsidiary of the Steel Corrorator
will require 10000 tons Of steel shape,
for the twelve shipways and buildinu
to be constructed on Newark Bay. The
fabrication and erection Of the steel
will be done by the American Bridge
Company.
The Iron and Steel Institute, through
the wire subcommittee, has allotted
additional orders for 10000 kegs Of
wire nails for construction work at the
various National Guard encsmpments
and 5000 to 5000 kegs for construction
at aviation camps and for numerous
other buildings in the Central West
Specifications were also issued fer
$4,000 tons Of plates for the building
OF war craft and 5000 tons for cargo
boats and for structural work at navy
yards and arsenals. More government
orders for steel pipe, boiler tubes and
tin plate have been distributed and
substantial contracts have been placed
for machinery and machine tools by
the Navy Department.
Airplane Orders
The War Department has placed or.
ders for large number OF airplane
engines with two manufacturers, call

Stocks

Short covering was again the para
mount influence in yesterdays light
operations, the oversold condition Of
the list being seen in the TO point
gains recorded by leading stocks, not
ahlV war issues.
Advances were largely surrendered
in the proft-taking Of the final hour,
the market closing, however, with a
firm tone. Shippings, motors, feathers
and secondary specialties shared in the
temporary rise, but rails were ignored
throughout, the only feature in that
division being st. Paul, which retained
half Of its 2 point gain.
United States Steel at one time
showed a one-point rise at 1879, but
forfeited virtually all its advantage,
other industrials and equipments react
ing similarly. Industrial Alcohol was

ing, but yielded in part.
Metals and shippings were incon-
spicuous, except for Atlantic, Gulf and
West Indies, which rose almost 2 points
on It's May statement Of earnings, but
soon fell back.
The bank statement reported an
actual loss of almost S5O,OOO,OOO In re-

National Forest Income

Washington, July 2s.-Receipts from
the national forests for the fiscal year
just ended amounted to S3,45O,OOO, an
increase Of 100000 over the previous

day. Operating costs were estimated
at 100000, leaving a budget Of only
Sb50000 on the government for main
tanning the great lumber reserves dur
ing the pas. year.
The increase is attributed chiefly to

higher fees charged for grazing.
