Wilson and War Industries
Board Confer on Pro-
duction Cost
Pooling Plan Favored
Trial of Putting All Industries
Under New System To
Be Deferred
ESPECIAL Cmrespondencel

WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-President
Wilson to-day held a conference with
the War Industries Board. during
which the results of the boards inves-
tiration into the cost OF copper pro-
duction and a price for copper were
discussed.
The whole price fixing question con-
fronting the government was consid-
cred, and there is said to be a growing
feeling on the part of officials charged
with the conduct of the war that the
pooling system is the most practical
way of putting the industries Of the
country under forced draft to keep
army, navy and civil establishments
running at high speed.
While plans for attempting It with
regard to steel production are said 70
be under serious consideration, 1t is
not probable that the pooling arrange
ment will be tried at this time with
coal or cupper until the present scheme
of the Coal Administration has received
a thorough test and plan TO Ak def
mite price for copper also has been
tried out.
Copper Price To Be Fixed Soon
1t is expected that a price for cop
per will be fixed within few days.
1t is known that the copper trade
expects the price fixed by the govern
ment to be around 90 cents a pound,
which is said to be satisfactory to tho
producers. The price, it Is understood,
will be subject to change in the event
that cost Of production increases or
decreases.
Soon after the United States entered
the war Bernard NJ. Baruch negotiated
with the leading copper producers an
agreement under which they were TO
furnish $4,000 900 pounds of copper 70
the War and Navy departments, as
wanted, at l6 cents pound. At that
time the market price of copper was
more than double that figure.
Bituminous prices and the wages paid
IN DllumlnOuS mines Will De ulBCubStu
at a conference here next week between
representatives of the operators and
miners of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana and DR.. Harry
Garfield, National Coal Administrator.
The mine workers are demanding in
creased wages, and the operators are
demanding that the government price
of So ton at tho mines be increased
that they may meet the demands Of the
men.
Apart from the complaint Of many
operators that the price fixed by the
government is too low, the shortage of
cars Is declared to be causing a steady
decrease in total production.
Statements received by the Coal Ad-
ministration from Indiana declare that
certain mines were operated only two
days last week because it was impos-
sible 10 find transportation facilities
for the output even for short deliveries,
The falling of IN bituminous output
is reflected in the coal statistics Of the
government. Car shortage Is declared
to be the principal cause. In connec-
ton with this there Is the threat OF

TO THE LADIES

A well known lady of Gooding con-
tributes the following to the Leader:
"The ladies Of the church societies
of this town are disregarding the ma
TONS request to conserve food by serv-
ing eats at their afternoon meetings.
There is more than one way to show
Christianity.
I'VE should be satisfied with three
square meals a day when there are
so many thousands that would be
thankful for one.
1T is surprising that people who
read and inform themselves of the suf-
fering and hunger now in the world
will knowingly waste food.
Ladies, wake up while yet it is
morning 1t may be dark in our own
land ere long. Be willing to part with
you ten-cent piece for helping to carry
on the good work of the church, with
out something to tickle the palate"

ROOSEVELT DOING HIS BIT

Deprived Of the pleasure Of partici-
patlng In the war as a soldier Theo-
dore Roosevelt is doubtless grieving,
but he is nevertheless playing a use
full, II querulous part. indeed he is
playing what Mr.. Wilson might in 9TH
er Giro umstances describe as a noble
part. Who is so Jealous as Mr. Wilson
for what the idealists of the inner
circles, the college presidents and the
intellegentia call Service? It is noble
to render Service to our fellow men,
says Mr.. Wilson and all the good phil
osophers and kindly Christians Of the
class room and front pews. Indeed the
man who does not render Service" is
a Stacker. Service" is the cant term
OF the unco guild.
Now, Service" is precisely what Mr.
Roosevelt Is rendering to his country
in this great war, and this despite the
studied neglect of him in Washington,
Notwithstanding the wet blanket that
was thrown on his ambitions when he
announced his readiness to become
either a leader or an obscure subbor-
dinate in France. Yes, Mr., Roosevelt is
indeed rendering valuable SERVICE, for
these are times in which there is need
OF Thersites to keep our political rule |
mindful OF the urgencies and exigen-
cies of a frightful situation; and Mr.. |
Roosevelt is attending to this business |
In fine style. we know of nobody so |
well qualified as he to keep the High |
and mighty from stewing in the ex-
udations Of their self satisfaction. And |
he Is doing so well in the performance
Of this self-imposed duty that we have

played to deprive him of the opportuni-
ties of conspicuous display on the bat
