ance by both parties Of . tentative
agreement BY which the copper pro-
duoers agree to market the surplus COP
per held by the Government without
profit No limit as to the price to be
received for the copper has been fixed
in the tentative agreement
The meeting. which lasted during the
greater part Of the day, was attended by
representatives of nearly all producers,
as well as by several Government rep
resentatives. At its conclusion tho fol-
lowing statement was given out:
statement for the press-That pro-
ducsrs representing 90 per cent Of the

resentatives Of the Director OF Sales Of
the War Department have reached q
tentative agreement whereby tho pro-
ducers will market for tina Government
ali the surplus Government copper at
market prices over q period depending
upon business condition, but not to ex!
coed fifteen months"
While It was difficult to obtain in.
formation beyond that brief statement,
1t was determined finally that no price
had been fixed by the Government, either
minimum or maximum, and that the pro-
ducers in selling the copper are to DO
governed entirely by the market
prices" The amount to be disposed of
Is limited to certain extent by the
fifteen months clause. 1t was explained
by Assistant Director Morse at the con-
clusion Of the meeting that "a certain
amount" was to be disposed OF In the

centage" in the remaining five months.
Otherwise, so far, there appear to be
no limlts lions on the agreement
The companies are to receive no COM
missions for selling the copper and will
be paid by the Government only the ac-
tual cost OF sale. When questioned as
