FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. 10, 1920
THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING.

It is the high cost of loafng rather
than the high cost of living that
troubles America today, in the opin-
ION expressed In a recent issue OF the
Corn Exchange the monthly maya
zine of the Corn Exchange National
Board Of Philadelphia. The paper
says that the country is producing
less per hour, per man, than before
the war although the rate Of con-
sumption is greater. This being
true, prices continue to advance and
further advances may be expected
until an economic balance is effected
Between production and consumption.
The solution Of the problem as in
dfcated by President Wilson, Gov
ernor Harding, OF the Federal Re-
gerVe Board, and others, is to in
crease production and reduce ak
penditures.
Investigation by a large manufac-
turing plant Of Philadelphia, says the
Corn Exchange recently showed
that under Identical circumstances
the production per man per hour, was
me-half mores before the war al
though wages: have been doubled.
Another Investigation which covered
several states and which was report
ed in the same paper showed that
while. the average wage per man in
creased 240 per- cent. the production
ger man, per hour had decreased 81
Rer cent.
1.-The man who loafs on the job, I"
says the paper above named, no
matter what division of society he be-
longs to, deliberately elects to sur
render his claim TO be an honest
man, for he is pretending to do some-
thing that he knows he is not doing.
This lowering Of the moral standard
Of the nation 8 menaces the sta
bility of tlSa State
The paper concludes: Let us be
honest with ourselves by recognizing
the high duty of working at maximum
speed at whatever task circumstances
bring to u.s. The Ioafer is the father
of the lar, and the liar is father of
the traitor to ali that we hold dear
m America 1t is the worker who
has always won, the shirker who
has always lost. Let us stop talking
about the high cost of living. Let
US put stop to the high cost of
foafing."

WILL HIGH .PRIcEs cONTINUEg


It is of vital Importance to most
persons to know whether high prices
are to continue. Authorities and
guessers disagree. Nobody knows.
That prices have advanced from so
to 100 per Cent In the last five years
is a fact. That this advance is due
largely to war and the incrt.ase by
about $3.50 ,000,0 900 in the world
credit paper currency is also fact.
1t is probable, THEREFORE, that prices
will remain high until the imitation is
removed or until production increas-
es and reaches. its normal ratio to
the amount of currency. This may
be in three or four years, it may not
be in twenty years nobody can tell
1t is likely, however, that the de
cline in the prices of commodities or
the rise in the. purchasing power of
the dollar, which is the same thing,
will be slow
The real hardship has been and
will be on the men with fixed salar-
les or incomes. The great army of
clerks and other employees in the
stores and counting houses, the
women who have their entire funds
loaned out at fixed interest or in
vested in securities bringing a fixed
return these. all have seen the pur-
chasing power of their dollars re-
duced oneSalf, which is tantamount
to their Income being cut in two.
There is no remedy save produc-
ton of wealth Of goods and com
modities. Prices will not fall until
the proper ratio of credit money and
all other kinds of money to COM
modities is restored. Production
will not reach its highest level I'M
til confidence. is restored, and con-
fdence will not be restored until the
peoples of the world return to the
paths of peace-New York Herald

HIGHER COPPER OUTPUT PHELPS DODGE CORP. P.

The November production of Phelps Dodge corporation shows a sharp increase over previous monthly reports for the year 1920, having pro- duced 8,168,00O pounds of copper. Men laid off were not to a great ex- tent from the production department, the stoppage of work on Sacramento Hill causing the largest loss of work men. The company has produced 86,744,OO0 pounds of copper against a total of 109,146,0O0 pounds during the entire year of 1919. The com pany expected to cut it's 1920 produc- tion to about 60 per cent of the 1919 output, but the richer ore caused a much larger production than expect ed. The same condition existed in other copper mines, causing the pro- duction to increase. After getting line on the possibilities of its new ore bodies the company will curtail it's output of copper materially.

TO SINK SHAFT ON
 THE BALTIC MINE

The Baltic mine, lying north of the United Western, is about to be equip ped with a plant of machinery by w. K. Ridenour and associates and a shaft sunk on the vein. This proper ty is well situated, in our opinion, be- ing in a mineralized section of the field and lying close to the big dike the accompanies the ore bearing ground of the Tom Reed lode. If, as we believe, the Gold Road vein swings away to the south, this property would be directly in line with its strike. While we are unaware of the surface possibilities of the vein we know the territory through which it passes and think we'll of it.

DIAMOND JOE MINE
 STILL IN H|CHGRADE

Reports come in from the Diamond Joe mine of a still greater strike of ore in that property, the ore body widening to greater proportions and the values increasing. The drift is now in the ore about 40 feet, and indications are that ore will continue to a connection with the old shoot. The management state that enough ore is now in sight to keep the mill running steadily on the lower grades, while the high grades may be shipped direct to the shelter without dress ing. The ore is of character similar to the old ore body that created d furor when the mineSwas first discov- cred. No such ore has been taken from the property in years, and 1t is to be expected that every foot of new work will add largely to the po- tential ore bodies now in view. Dur ing the past year the company has been driving through leached zone, and while the ores carried good mill values only pockets and kidneys of high grade were encountered until the present ore was reached on the 420-level. With greater depth the mine is sure to open larger ore bod ies and was the property opened by the deep tunnel we believe it would be one of the largest producers in the Wallapai mountains.
 The Miner has on exhibition a large specimen of the ore that is now being taken from the Diamond Joe, although it is not as rich as that now being taken from the latest develop ment.
