RULES FOR THE
 SELECTVE DRAF I

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2.-The regulations to govern the next step toward the selection of a national army from the millions registered has been issued at the direction of the president The regulations make it clear that there are to be no class ex- emptions and that each individual case must be decided OF it's merits. Local exemption boards, one for each county of less than forty-five thou sand people or city of thirty thou sand, with additional boards where necessary for each additional thirty thousand. will pass upon claims for exemption except those based upon industrial or agricultural occupa- tions, subject to appeal to district ! boards. All cases involving agri- cultural or industrial exemptions are to be passed upon by district boards. one for each several judicial district. which also will decide ap- peals from the decisions or the local boards. In the near future the I,authorities will set a date for the meeting of the boards and it is ex- i pected the selections regulations will be promulgated The men will be called to the colorS about Sept. l. In his statement President Will son called upon boards 10 do their work fearlessly and impal tially and to remember that our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained if they be composed of men free from any sense of injus- tice in their mode of selection"
 The statement says: ''The regu- lations have been drawn with the view to the needs and circumstances of the whole country and to provide system which it is expected will work with the least inequality and personal hardship. Any system of selecting men for military service, whether voluntary or involuntary in it's operation, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice for the whole nation. Ine system heIt pro'lueu places all men of military age upon an even plane and then. by selec- tion which neither tavors one nor penalized another, calls out the requisite number for the service.
 Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the man himself, his wife cI other de- pendents, or by third party who has personally investigated his case. A claim by husband must be accompanied by supporting affi- davits signed by his wife and the head of family residing Ill the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affidavits signed by the heads of families Local boards are required to pass upon all claims for exemption of discharge within three days after the filing of affida- yi,s.

Producing interests are convince

Producing interests are convinced that the conSumptive demand exceeds the present volume of output. They are looking forward to the prospect of considerable shortage of supplies dur ing the last quarter of this year, to re- suit from the labor troubles which
 have been in effect during the! past three or four weeks and which already have resulted in cutting off more than
 OO,000,000 pounds of production. At the moment there are s0re slight in dications of a coming settlement of the strikes in the several big miniE g centers of the west; but at the same time there is no basis for assurance that conditions may not be even worse a month hence than they are now
 Three or four weeks ago the ooun- rry's copper production had been sold up to the end of June and consider able portion of the July output had been contracted for by consumers At present comparatively little Of the cop per which will be produced during the closing five months of this year has been sold possibly not more than 15 or 20 per cent of it. Yet the producers know that the consumptive demand
 must be fully as large as it was dur ing the first half of the year and they feel under obligations to keep them selves in position to supply as far as possible the requirements of their customers when the latter get ready to make their purchases.
 1 A decline in the price of copper to l. 25 cents would not be a severe hard
 ship to the producing interests Their
 profits would be reduced. as also
 would their excess profit taxes, and the latter in greater ratio than the former. With copper down to 25
 cents the output of a great many small
 producers undoubtedly would be re
 duced and this would put the big min | ing companies in a stronger positionto
 cope with any unsettlement which
 might occur in the event of a sudden
 ending of the European war
 There is very good basis for the be- | lief that the demand for copper may
 be quite as great during the two or , three years following the restoratio
 of peace as it has been during the
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-07-20

three years war period. There is an , immense vacuum to be filled in Bel Sium, Germany and Austria, the big | manufacturers in that area having been denied supplies of the metal : from the outside since August, 1914,
 Prior to the war the manufacturers
 whose plants are within the area con-
 trolled by the central powers purchas-
 ed approximately 21 per cent of the
 worlds production. After the war
 ends it seems quite proba ble that they
 will take even larger percentage, a , their requirements will consist of the amount required tao re-establish their normal home and foreign trade and also sufficient more to replace the i'm
 mense quantities Of copper which have been reclaimed for use i'll the manufac-
 ture of munitions.
 My own opinion is that government
 al regulation Of copper prices would
 be a grave error. High prices make
 for large production and an immense quantity of the metal will be needed
 while the war continues and for recon
 struction, improvements and electrical expansion after peace is .re-establish- ed In proportion to the present i prices of other metals and materials with which it comes into competition copper is cheap now at 30 or 31 cents a pound. While there is large prof t to producers the excess profit tax,
 which the government is arranging to ! impose, will absorb for public pur- poses d liberal proportion of the ab
 normal earnings The collection of big revenue through the medium of ] taxation on excess profits is not con 1 sistent. of course, with greatly reduc-
 ed prices for industrial products.
 | The period we are now passing i thruogh is one Of extreme uncertainty and much confusion. However. the ! end in view is to secure products at i as low prices as may be maintained i without restricting in any way the vol
 ume of output High prices must be
 paid for labor and supplies of all kinds
 and copper producers cannot be eN-
 pected to operate at full capacity, talk ing all the risks that such activities
 entail, unless they have reasonable as
 surance of more than normal profits.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-07-20

For the government to make the mis- take of fixing a maximum level of prices low enough to retard and re- ducc the volume of output would be
 to invite disaster The whole world
 wants and needs immense quantities of copper and the tremendously in- creased volume of production can be maintained by the same method by which it was created. that is, by pay ing prices which give great stimulus to the mining and smelting industry.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-07-20
President Wilson's

by consumers. President Wilson's statement, We must make the prices to the public the same as the prices to the government. Prices mean the same thing everywhere now, they mean the efficiency or inefficiency of the na- tion, whether the government pays them or not. They mean victory or defeat, indicates that his idea of eco- monies is entirely different from that of the average business man. It is the common understanding that abundance of supplies, not prices, will be required 10 win the war.
 In the senate the other day Senator Lodge opposed forcing copper produc- CTS to sell at abnormally low prices
 We may save money,'' he said, but we will lose more, closing small mines that are producing the surplus vitally necessary The opinion seems to be growing, however, that notwithstand- ing the strikes which are reducing the volume of production very greatly the government may try the experiment of forcing a reduction in prices. Consumption is continuing abnormal ly heavy both at home and abroad. Ex-
 ports of copper for the first five months of this year aggregated 5O6,- lOO,UcU bClh6 oli ioSC VI 1O1 ,233,216 pounds per month. This
 exceeds by 9 or 30 per cent the high est previous record Unless labor troubles are eliminated and everything
 possible done to stimulate production it seems that an acute scarcity of sup plies must develop.
 The position of the copper market
 may be described best as deadlock, 1 consumers being afraid to buy at pre-
 vailing prices and producers afraid to mark down quotations. The big users
 of copper have been led to believe that l the government intends to establish
 an arbitrary maximum price of about l 25 cents a pound for the metal, and with this impression in mind they
 naturally are refraining as far as poss- ! ible from making purchases at higher
 quota tions Consequently they are buy l ing from hand to mouth" which
 means only sufficient amounts to GOV
 CT their requirements week or two ahead.

Copper is dull and prices are show ing tendency to sag. Lake is 30 3-4 to 31 1-2 cents and electrolytic is 30 12 to 8 cents a pound. the former, for the first time in several months, being quoted higher than the latter. It is

The at titude ta ken by the administration at W2s..irc.ton that the prices of all com modities. should be reduced to levels which yield only nominal profits is CX- erting an influence to restrict buying
