SILVER MINES

ITO the future the silver producers
of the United States are enjoying q
certain amount OF prosperity due 10
the operation of the Pittman act.
under the provisions of which the
government about fifteen months ago
started to repurchase an amount Of
newly mined domestic silver at 81
per ounce equivalent to the total
contained in the coins melted for
sale to Great Britain during the
world war While the operations OF
the Pittman ACT prevented the price
OF the white metal from soaring to
Unprecedented heights during che
war, nevertheless, when the price OF
silver collapsed to "a cents June
8, 1920, and the government auto
matically began to repurchase sill
yer at 81 per ounce, the wester min
ing industry@was recompensed and
saved from total suspension of pro
duction
Undoubtedly the operation of the
Pittman act has saved the mining in
dustry Of the United States. But for
the operation of this law many. or
probably most, of the properties
which are now producing lead and
zinc ores rich in silver would be in
the unfortunate position of the zinc
mines whose ore contains little or
no silver, and of the copper mines
which have suspended production en-
tirely. There is no doubt that most
OF the mines in which silver is the
predominant metal likewise would
nave been forced to SUSPEND opera
tons.
After approximately one year and
a quarter of repurchase under the
rlttman act, nearly $4,000, 900
ounces of silver have been bought nv
the government. Besides the rate of
sails to the government, the statictics
are an accurate index to the pro-
iuction for the year ended the middle

STRIKES THAT
ARE NEEDED

There are among our seething midst
many multi-colored Migrants who
should gather to themselves union
organizer and go on strike. Take, for
instance, the Workers of the Hammer
with the subsidiary branches of Satel-
lites of the Rocking Chair and Scan
dalettes; they have no real leader and
no rules which tell them to quit work
and lay off. They ought to form To-
Gals in every neighborhood, for they
need and should have shorter hours,
Some of 'em are working sixteen
hours a day and never take a vaca-
tion-they ought to go on strike.
Then there are the Gadabouts, the
hard-working folks who put in so
many hours remaining away from
home; they have to travel about a lot
and ought to strike for less work and
shorter hours while the striking is
good.
Another class are those who con-
tlnually tell US OF SCHEMES where we
can double our money. They work at
all hours and every hour-they need
union bad to put them on an eight
hour schedule, with Sundays and holt
days off. Also among other sets who
should organize and unionize, and
quit work occasionally, are the Must
cal Comedy Tune Whistlers of the
World, the Independent Order of Fee
