COPPER INDUSTRY
At STAKE NOW

The present condition of copper in
dustry is clearly stated in very COM
plete statement issued by the fed
eral government on February 4 and
if facts developed by governmental
investigation will be calmly and dis
passionately considered by the gen.
eral public as we'll as employers, the
present predicament of the copper
industry will be apparent, says Mr..
Robert C. Gemmell, general manager
of Utah Copper Company.
The official statement OF federal
government says:
NO market since armistice was
signed. Sales for last seventy-five
days do not amount to 5 per cent of
output.
Copper stocks on hand at mill,
smelter, in transit and at refineries
about one billion pounds, represent
ing over $l75,OOO,OO0 tied up in
stock.
"The seriousness of this surplus
stock of one billion pounds Of copper
is the fact that it was all produced
on the maximum basis of cost with
the expectation of realizing 20 cents
per pound.
For every cent less than 70 cents
the producers will lose $l0,Oo0,OoO.
So that l8 cent copper means a loss
of 80000,000, which is very serious
factor of decentralization apart from
practically no sales for the past nine
ty days, and little in sight.
"Stagnation expresses the market
condition today"
After commenting in detail on the
situation and pointing out that con-
| ditions in no way controlled by cop
! per producers had forced reduced
output and reduction in wages, Mr.
Gemmell concludes.
The problem before the copper in.
dustry today is the preservation OF its
existence. 1t is fighting for its very
life as an industry | always have
been, and always will be. an optimis'
as regards the industrial life of oul
nation: | have no fear of the ultimate
results, but in the light of the fact:
presented, it must be apparent TO eve.

ahtif peace terms = are dst' Msel,

tions re-established upon sount
