CLEVELAND DoDGE'S MILLIONS

Cleveland Dodge is abundantly able to subscribe several millions to the Red Cross fund.- if he were so disposed He has. however, adopted plan which is not original but is frequently followed, whereby an initial fund, designed to lead a large subscription, can be secured
 For it has been observed that if few wealthy men join in pledging large amount as nucleus, then those whose wealth is not great are tempted to initiate the example to the extent of their means In other words, if MT. Dodges million dollar subscription, which is con- tingent upon the securing of A other fnillion-d dollar subscriptions, so that nu- cleus of s25, COG, GOO is secured succeeds, then with this fund, it will be all the more easy to persuade men of means and others to join those who are endeaVorlng to raise s1OO. coo GOO for the Red Cross.

THE COPPER SITUATION

cided to occupy it's plants exclusively with the manufacture of articles not clas- sified as war munitions, the managers must contemplate greatly increased use of coprer. Some of the copper au- thorities say that the new era is to be not merely one of stupendous expansion in the steel and iron industries, but also very great expansion of the use of cleo tricity and therefore of copper One re- cent illustration confirms their view, for | it is reported authoritatively to railway managers here, that so satisfactory has been the installation of electricity as the motive power upon a considerable part of the extension of the St. Paul railway system to the Pacific. that another large section is to be equipped as speedily as possible with electric apparatus.
 Adolph Lewisohn, one of the foremost authorities copper production. was
 quoted a few days ago as having said that in his opinion the government will be compelled to enter the open market for
 the purchase of vast supplies of copper. of which it is now and for long time IS
 to be in need. This statement seems in-
 directly to confirm rumors that have been
 heard that the government may have
 found some obstacle to the execution or
 the contract it recently made for enor-
 nous quantities of copper at approxi
 mately 16 cents a pound. Strong intlma-
 tons have come to New York that the
 la bor unions protested against the execu-
 ton of this contract, for the reason that
 the copper miners are paid upon slid
 ing scale. If, therefore, many millions Of
 tons of copper were sold to the govern
 ment at approximately 16 cents a pound,
 the market rate being more than twice
 as much the miners would be compelled
 by the sliding scale operation to accept
 great falling off in pay. It Is possible that this difficulty has been overcome,
 but MT. Lewisohns remark indicates that
 hereafter the government will be com
 peled to go into the open market to buy
 it's copper

HARD TO RESIST THE
ORANGES THIS WEEK

If you have ever longed for an or
ange grove all your own somewhere
in California, you can enjoy the pleas
ure of realizing the next thing to it this
week and staying right here in town
at the same time.
It's all because next Saturday
March 10, is National Orange Day. For
several days great quantities of or
anges have been coming in by fast
freight until every fruit dealer AMI
grocer in town has a large supply Of
this wonderful fruit. The front win
dows of almost every store are being
dressed with oranges, and number
of the merchants have gotten some
very artistic effects with the gay
fruit.
Orange Day is a country wide insti-
tuition, coming each year on a Satur-
day early in March. 1t is at this time
that the supplies of California navel
oranges are largest. Starting several
weeks before Orange Day, extra gangs
of pickers have been picking the fruit
in the immense groves of California,
and millions of oranges, 1t is estimated
by the officials of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange, have been shipped
during the past few weeks to meet the
tremendous demand on Orange Day
1917. Orange Day has become a ma
tional festival in recognition of the
many healthful and delicious qualities
that California oranges bring to every
one.
SO, every day during Orange week.
we can all have the next best thing to
fun bearing orange tree in the back
ward.

Engravers Defy Injunction
Quit Powers Plant Despite
Order Against Striking

score Of employees walked out Of
the plant of the Powers Photo Engrav-
ing Company, in the Tribune Building,
last night in the face Of a temporary
injunction issued earlier in the day By
Supreme Court Justice Erl8nger re-
straining them from striking.
The Powers company, in applying for
the injunction through its attorneys,
Powers & Kaplan, asserted that the
strike was the result OF an agreement
between Photo Engravers' Union No.
/, of New York, and the Photo Engrav-
ers' Board Of Trade designed TO force
the Powers company into membership
in the Board Of Trade.
Such membership, A J. Powers. head
OF the company. said involved entering
into a price-fxing arrangement which
would double the price Of photo engrav-
ing, and constituted, in his opinion, a
violation of the state and Federal anti
trust laws. Affidavits were filed quot
ing union officials as threatening 10
pull the men out Of your shop" unless
the company joined the Board Of Trade
The injunction is returnable on Mon
day
