COPPER EXPORT COMPANY FORMED
 AT GATHERING
Large Copper Interests Hold an Informal Gathering at Which. Plan, in Large As pect, Is Adopted

The large copper interests met in New York recently to consider further the formation of the new export cop per company, but it is understood that the gathering was an informal one and there was really nothing new to be learned It is understood. how ever, that the new company, which is to have a nominal capital, will have branch agencies abroad in various European countries.
 The companies which are taking the lead in the matter are the United Metals Selling company, owned by the Anaconda, the American Smelling & Refining company, the Phelps Dodge corporation and the Calumet & Hecla. It is understood that these companies will have the capital of the new company distributed among them pro rata. The smaller com papies will, it is understood, follow the lead of the larger concerns in the disposition of their export cop per.
 Progress in the plans under consid- eration may be delayed while the legal aspects of the situation are be- ing studied Although the Webb Pomerene bill expressly encouraged the formation of great combinations of American industries to compete in the markets of the world, it does not sanction any acts in domestic trade contravening the antitrust laws.
 Precisely how the producing com panies will be connected with the proposed export consolidation has not been diviulged. Their representatives said that they had not been formally approached on the matter.
 Both producers and sellers of cop per, however. are impressed with the need of an instrument through which they can present united front in selling the metal to buying agencies in France, Great Britain and Italy.
 The steps looking toward the for nation of an export corporation, whose purpose will be to distribute the product of American mines in for eign markets, have all been taken in the last few weeks. The need for joint action was impressed upon cop per sellers by information showing that syndicates were being formed in England. France, Italy and other coun- tries for the purpose of buying cop per in the United States as cheaply as possible. The heads of the biz rarsanara1 liminary parts of the plan before they discussed the matter at an with the producers.

more particularly to increase in wages and scarcity of labor. The theory that raise in wages trends to lower effici- ency has been clearly proven during the past year. Labor turnover has been greater. There is a financial loss with change of workmen. How ever capable one man might be to fill another's place it costs money to make the change. These changes are more frequent when work is plentiful and wages high.
 Efforts of Gold Producers
 Your chapter contributed $500 to- ward the fund raised by the Ameri- can Gold conference to defray eX- penses of its executive committee to Washington for conference with the secretary of the treasury, the director of the mint, the senate and the house committees on mines and mining and other governmental departments for the purpose of obtaining relief to the gold producers Relief sought, was hoped to be accomplished through leg islation providing a bounty on the pro- duction of gold. The committee should arrive in Washington November 22.
 The War Industries board has an nounced that the restriction hereto fore imposed on the domestic uses of gold and silver for industrial pur- poses has been terminated.
 Slowing Down of Production
 The industries of the country which have responded whole-heartedly to the call of the government for increased production must, with the discontinu- ance of war, be diverted from war time production to their normal in times of peace.
 During the war production of non essentials was largely eliminated and civilian needs curtailed. The efforts of the War Industries board will be to curtail as rapidly as possible the production of war necessities. Instruc- tions have been issued to all bureaus of the war department governing the method of slowing down of production so that, as far as possible, there should be a tapering off of war work, giv- ing time for industrial re-adjustment.
 The Compensation Measure
 me necessity TOT d MOIhiuch OOih- pensation measure has been felt since the enactment of certain laws by the first legislature of Arizona, yet an equitable and just compensation law that would be acceptable to the voters of Arizona, as the only remedy, lay in an amendment to the state constitu- tion. has been a task that has utterly failed of accomnIishment
 Early in the year a committee was appointed to gather data, draft and submit to employers and to labor a law to place before the people at the November election. Every compensa- ton law in force in the United States and foreign countries was studied and analysed, and from the various com pensation laws lin force, selections were made for the draft of law for Arizona A law was finally drafted

Regulation Of Prices
 The conference of November 18th between leaders of the industry and the War Industries board, at which the copper industry of America was represented by Daniel Guggenheim of the American Smelling and Refining company; c. F. Kelly, of the Anaconda company; Daniel c. Gackling of the Utah Copper company and R. L. Agas sig. of the Calumet & Hecla company the following points. which are to re main effective until January l, and then be subject to renewal and revis- ion, as already agreed upon, were brought out:
 "A The present rate of production is to be maintained in the mines, smelters tnd refineries, coStinuous employment being thus insured dur ing the first period of the transition from war to peace basis"
 "P The present level of prices of the metal and the existing wage scale of labor are to be preserved"
 "C. The War Industries board. or such other government agency as may be designated, is to continue regula' tion of prices and allocation of the mineral"
 Supply of Copper
 It is estimated that more copper has been produced since July than has been sold, yet apparently there has been a shortage in supply. The short age, however, is unreal and is ac- counted for by delays in refining and transportation. Forcing production has been the rule. Keeping up pro- duction, handicapped by a shortage of labor with which to carry on develop ment has brought many mines into a restricted productive capacity Ad- vance development work must be done before the properties will again be at their best.
 Cost of Copper
 The advance in wages, freight rates and the increased cost of supplies, to- gether with war taxes, has brought the cost of producing a pound of cop per to more than double pre-war cost and in many instances materially higher.
 With no reduction in wages, freight rates or supplies, there IS no induce ment for mining companies to con- tinue forcing output even upon the continuance of the present market prices of 26 cents a pound.
 Efficiency of Working Forces
 In mining and manufacturing gen. erally it is reported there has been notoriously diminished efficiency in work per hour or shift. Although wages are higher, efficiency is low. While this is clearly noticeable in manufacturing, it is more real than noticeable in mining when per ton of ore per man is taken into considera. tion. Figures may be set up to show that efficiency has either increased or decreased, but personal observation will. in every instance, show efficien- cy in working forces since pre-war period has materially decreased. This condition is due to several things. but
