Anaconda's October Output

Production of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company in October, according
to advices from Butte, Mont, totalled
33,45O,000 pounds. despite the fact that
the influenza epidemic served TO de-
plete the working force at the mines
by several hundred men daily. 1t is
pointed out that comparison Of these
figures with the September output is
unfair, because of the sixteen-dsy !. ".
". strike during the latter month, but
compared with last Augustus production
of 24.9oo,oOo pounds, the situation is
better comprehended. Anaconda. Off
Gals expected TIE October production
to be about equal to that OF the pre-
ceding month, but the Washoe smelt-
ing works came through with a lift
which was gratifying surprise.

The economics Of the war has
many puzzles. 1t has been marvel
to many thoughtful minds how the
government could collect and spend
above S21,O0O,0O0,000 within a lit
tie more than year without a pro-
digious rise in prices. No other gov
eminent has been able to do it. And
every government has tried to fix
prices. It follows that price-tixing
is not sufficient reason as to why
the general level Of prices has not
risen sharply since our entry into
the war.

Air Brakes Peace Outlook

in a statement issued to stockholders
John T. Miller, president of the
Westinghouse Air Brake Company,
says that The company is not now en-
gagged in the manufacture of munitions
or other work solely for war purposes.
He asserts there is no reason to an
ticipate a reduction in the volume of
business during 1919. Inc value of un-
filled orders on hand November
was approximately $11,000.000. "The
brake equipments and draft gear
now being supplied for application to
the cars and locomotives ordered by the
United States Railroad Administration, :"
he adds, "include a relatively small
number originally intended for use ON
American lines in France, but the de-
mand for additional locomotives and
cars for use IN the United States is so
great and SO insistent that even if the
United States government should for
any reason decide not to ship addition
al locomotives and cars 70 France, there
is no doubt that the entire number Of
equipments on order will be required in
the United States as promptly as they
can be produced. Again, tie assistance
that the United States must lend in
the rehabilitation OF Belgium and
France will undoubtedly continue the
increasing demand for additional trans
portation facilities in this country, so
there is no reason to anticipate any re-
duction in the volume of brake business
during 1919 -

Our Washington correspondent
reported yesterday that "the steel
men seem to be particularly anxious
TO get line on the War Industries
Boards policy" as to price-fixing
during the six months which the
board will survive after peace is de-
clared. He added that:
"The demand for steel for non
war purposes is said to be cncr-
nous"

If the cost Of food and the level
of wages remain high, the govern
ment could not soon restore freights
and fares to their pre-war level.
Government price-fixing and govern
ment operation of railways for
twenty-one months after the proc
'lamation of peace, are powerful lev
ers for the stabilizing of present
conditions.

After War Prospects

+. n. Hoifstot, president of the
Pressed Steel Car Company, also takes
the view that the establishment Of
peace will not be unfavorable to his
company. He says:
"Strictly war business, subject 10
cancellation and adjustment by the
government, represents but q small
percentage Of our present untitled
orders, although our entire capacity
is engaged on government work Of one
kind or another, but as this produc-
ton is used essentially for construc-
ton and upbuilding, VIC feel our bust
ness would be increased rather than
decreased as result of peace. 1t is
only recently that companies in our
particular line of business have been
able to secure even the premise OF a
uniform. adequate supply of materials
and men, but the curtailment OF non
essential industries should greatly i'm
prove conditions, both as to materials
and labor. 1t is my opinion that there
will be large and increasing demand
Tor our products, not alone from the
suspended and accumulated demands
due to the war, but from foreign
countries whose stocks of our products
have been completely exhausted"

Wall Street found food for rehec-

ton against the policy of an eco
nomic war after the war. 'lf," said
Mr.. Farrell, '1he peace is satisfac-
tory there will be no need for an
economic war" Mr.. Farrell was
long associated with the export bust
ness Of steel corporations and has an
intimate knowledge of the problems
of foreign trade. Germany is, next
to the United States, the worlds
largest steel producer Its capacity
before the war was nearly twice
that Of Great Britain, and more than
that of Britain, France, Italy and
Russia combined. Its steel indus
tries were largely syndisated and
to some extent under the govern
ment's protecting arm. Before the
war it was compact body with
which agreements were relatively
easy. 1t was more or less under
stood that for time at least some
thing like an understanding subsist-
cd in the export field. In any event,
there was no bitter and ruthless
competition.

The present steel capacity of the
United States is reckoned at nearly
one~half greater than in 1914. 1t is
doubtful if there has been a CORE
spending increase in the average
capacity for consumption in this
country. Before the war our steel
and iron exports we're growing stead
lily. But they would still have 20 be
many times greater to take care of
the apparent existing surplus if our
steel mills were to run at full capa-
city. Wages and the general costs
OF production are reckoned to have
nearly doubled in the last four years.
1t cannot be said that existing con-
ditions or prospects favor a drastic
reduction in these wages or costs in
this country But something of the
same condition obtains not merely
in Germany, but in Britain and other
steel producing countries. 1t does
not appear that the United States is
now ready to .undersell the world in
steel. But neither, so far as one
may judge, is Germany.
The ore fields of Lorraine are
more important to Germany than
boycott on German toys, drugs and
dyes in the United States. And the
markets of Russia are five times as
important to Germany's industries
as all the rest of the neutral mar
kets Of the world combined. For
these Germany could afford to pay
an indemnity of billions.
