Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1917-09-13

In your deliberations on this ques-
lion | sincerely trust that you will
give most careful consideration to the
effect of a reduction in the price of
copper upon the wages paid to the
laborers engaged in this industry BY
presenting the Miami scale / have
demonstrated that the compensation
of the miners and other employees
varies directly with the monthly fluc-
tuation in the price of copper, and
that any reduction will bear heavily
upon them. To reduce the wages of
these men without any corresponding
reduction in the price that they must
pay for the necessaries of life can re-
suit in nothing but a decrease in the
total production of copper. because
they will be compelled either TO
strike or to seek some better paid
employment.
The cost of living is higher in the
copper camps OF Arizona than any
where else in the United States. This
is primarily due to the fact that Ari-

is selling today. If the copper COM
panies are making an extraordinary
profit. congress will soon exact an eX-
cess profits tax which will take a
large share of it away from them so
that the government can thus compen-
safe itself. The only way that the
mine laborers can be protected is by
abandoning the sliding scale of wages
and establishing a minimum wage
based upon the present high cost of
living in Arizona. If you are able
to make such an arrangement with
the mine owners, a very critical sit
uation will be avoided and a maxi
mum output of copper assured.
In any event. comparatively high
price will do more than anything else
to ensure an increasing production of
the red metal BY following this plan
new capital can be secured for the
development of unworked deposits,
and bodies Of low grade ores that are
now available will continue to be
mined at a profit.
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1917-09-13

l understand that the federal trade
commission has furnished you with
data on the cost of producing copper.
but / beg TO remind you that the cost
of production is not the only factor
to be considered. A mine is not like
an irrigated farm which grows more
valuable by proper cultivation. A
pound of copper taken from the earth
cannot be used as seed TO return
hundred fold at harvest time Capital
invested in mining properties, is.
therefore. entitled to large dividends,
for until all of the costs are first re.
paid no additional wealth has been
actually created.
l have presumed to submit these
considerations to you because / rep
resent the state that produces more
copper than any other. The mining
of metal is Arizona's basic industry.
The prosperity of her people depends
almost entirely upon its uninterrupt-
ed production. With such a vital in
terest in this question | could not re-

iona does not produce enough agri-
cultural products to feed her own peo-
pie Prices of food stuffs in my state
are determined by the deficiency
which must be imported. An Arizona
farmer is entitled to receive for his
wheat the Kansas price plus the
freight rate The Kansas farmer re-
ceives the Chicago price less the
freight rate As in all the intermoun-
tain country, the commodity rates
from the east are higher than for the
long haul to the Pacific coast. Many
of the copper mines are located on
branch lines so that the additional
burden of local rate must also be
borne. With all of these disadvan-
iages high rate of wages is impera-
lively necessary if the Arizona work
ingmen are to be permitted to main
tain n decent standard of living.
As / view the situation, it would be
the part of wisdom for you gentle
men to fix the price of copper at Ger

Gentlemen:
Referring to the hearing which You
were kind enough to give me this
morning, | desire to present in writ
ing a summary of the arguments that
then made relative to the price OF
copper, which you are soon to deter
mine. In carrying out the announced
policy of the president that the gov
eminent and the public should pay
the same price for any commodity, |
assume that you will attempt to find
way TO stabilize the general marke,
price of copper in addition to regulat-
ing the purchases made for the army
and navy and the allies.

coat must be sewed throughout with
silk thread-the distinction Of the
garment demands it. Only second
rate clothes, whether. blouses, frocks.
wraps or tailored suits. are sewed with
cheap substitutes for silk thread and
the atrocious substitute is always
glaringly discernible to a practiced
eye.
The silk sweater pictured today is
a very stunning model-one of the
very handsomest of this seasons silk
sport coats of it's type. You will note
its beautiful lines and fit. smooth but
sufficiently loose for grace. The sleeve
is set in and tapers like coat sleeve
to, the wrist; the pockets are not
over-obvious; the sash not overriding
for this is a sweater of conservative
distinction. The chief feature Of in
terest is the convertible collar, shown
in the picture closely buttoned up
about the throat This sweater is in
close jersey weave with trimming
bands in rib stitch. The color. is gold
en- brown with golden stripes forming
a broad check. Gold colored sweat
ers are especially smart this season
as all gold colored wearables are. One
tone with orange, chrome yellow or
kings yellow. Gold color is deep and
rich and has soft, subdued beauty
rather than a gaudy conspicuousness.
Black straw sport sailors are being
trimmed with gold colored ribbon to
match gold colored silk sport coats.
The ribbon is simply drawn around
the high crown of the sailor hat and
made into a fat bow at the front.
Sweater sashes are growing wider
and wider. In fact, while one is knit
ting a sweater and laboring over the
sash, the latter seems almost as broad
as it is long-so many stitches must
be put on the needle. These very
broad sashes are not passed twice
around the waist as the narrower
sashes were last year, but are tied
loosely and rather low at the side or
front. The broad sash holds the
sweater trinity and gives a long waist
line that is becoming. Very smartly
dressed maids at Palm Beach this
winter wore coats and skirts of jersey
