COPPER SELLS Al % CENTS.
First Sale for 1919 Delivery Since
Federal Price Made.

Copper for delivery during the first
quarter of 1919 was sold yesterday at "a
cents for the nrst time since the Govern
ment liked the price at 2e cents pound
INQUIRIES were restricted to January,
February and March, the order being for
the account OF domestic consumers.
The price Of 2S cents Is being quoted
by the leading producers and sellers for
foreign as we'll as domestic shipment,
and the Copper Export Association, Inc,
expects 10 book substantial orders at
that price before the end OF this year
In this connection, II Is expected that
the labor situation in the copper mining
industry will be brought to n head
through the decision of some OF the large
producers to put in force the wage scale
which obtained before the Government
hxed the price In September, 1917. On
a basis OF 20 cents n pound for copper
after January / the wage will be So a
day instead OF approximately 1915,
which the miners receive on the 26 cent
basis. 1t Is the opinion OF some author
tiles In the Industry that the price Of
copper will 60 down TO 20 cents In jan
uary, and In that case the miner will re-
ceive a daily wage OF $3.50. At present,
although copper still sells at 26 cents,
the miners are being pNid on a 80 cent
basis. The miners In several confer
ences with the representatives of the
large producers have held out for q min
imum wage based on rs cent copper.

RAILWAY OFFICIALS
POSTPONE MEETING
Standing Committee Of Asso-
citation Expected to Fix Date
Next Tuesday.
COOPERATION IS NEEDED
Rumor That Association Has
Prepared New Plan for Re- "
medal Legislation.

The meeting Of $50 railroad executives
from all parts of the United States
scheduled for next Monday at the Cham
Der OF Commerce, to adopt a plan for
remedial legislation in connection with
the return OF the roads to private owner
ship. has been postponed for a few
days, according to announcements made
yesterday by Thomas De Witt Cuyler
chairman OF the Association Of Railway
executives A meeting of the standing
committee OF twenty -four members OF
the association will be held next Tues
day and at that time the date for the
general meeting will be fixed.
The statement issued by Mr.. Cuyler
gave no reason for the postponement
which came as q surprise In view of the
brief period OF time prior to the start
on January 2 OF public hearings by the
House and Senate Committees on Inter
state Commerce. II was suggested in
financial circles that the National Assoc
citation OF Owners Of Railroad Securities,
or which S. Davies Warfield is president,
may have outlined n plan for remedial
legislation which differed essentially
from the plans outlined by the Associa-
ton OF Railway Executives, but this
could not be confirmed owing to the alb
sence Of Mr.. WaI:ield from this city.
The consensus OF opinion In financial
circles yesterday was that all parties
Interested in new legislation affecting
the roads and the future Of tho roads
under private control must unite on the
essentials OF one definite plan and that
little could be accomplished in Washing
ton In the direction OF a solution Of the
problems unless there was agreement
among railroad executives, shippers
labor and security holders as TO definite
requests for legislation that could be
backed by all concerned.
1t was thought that the true reason
Tor the postponement OF the Decen Der
80 general meeting lay in the business
demands incidental to the holiday week
and the lack of time to ascertain tho
opinions OF the interests which must be
consulted before definite plan and
policy can he announced
II Mr.. Warfleld has evolved a plan
for remedial legislation and the return
or the roads. such n plan up 10 last
night had not been communicated TO his
associates. Influential bankers in this
city would like to see complete cooD-
GRAFTON between the National AssOcia
ton OF Owners OF Railroad Securities
and the Association of Hallway Execu-
tiVes and II Is POSSIBLE that tho next
general meeting will see a broad parti-
cfpation by bankers. insurance company
OFFICIALS and railroad executives. In
all circles yesterday emphasis was laid
privately on the need OF unity and CO.
operation.
