GREAT COPPER INCREASE
FOR AUTOMOBILE USES

Approximately 100, 600, 900 poun.5
of copper will be utilized this year in
the manufacture of automobiles in
this country, according to a survey
Just completed by the Copper and
Brass Association, New York. THIS
figure is al increase of $4,000, 000
pounds over 1921, and about $780,
100000 pounds more than 1920, In
which year the automobile indust. }
consumed 1853 per cent. of the tota
copper production.
Commenting on the use OF copper
in the automobile industry, the as
ISOLATION says, in part:
I'm pre-war days, particularly
since the time when the automobile
definitely emerged from the luxury
class, the demand was in excess VI
the supply. Consequently, there was
practically no incentive to cheaper
material costs; and copper, brass and
bronze were widely used in conStruc-
ton, where their properties. accord
ing to the best principles of machine
design, established by generations OF
engineering experience, made then
of service.
During the war years, an abnor-
NAL condition arose. The price OF
copper increased its use was restrict
ed to non-essentiaI industries, and
the automobile manufacturer was
forced to substitute inferior metals
"In 1919, with removal of wal
time restrictions, copper was still
relatively high, and the automobile
manufacturer continued this practice
of substitution. During the period
of imitation after the armistice there
was a tremendous increase of manu-
f~a Cturinp facilities. in order to keeC
up with the increasing demand fol
automobiles.
Then came the buyers strike N
1920. The demand for autol obil,s
dwindled and, in an effort to revive
facturer in successive cuts.
Under insistent pressure to lower
costs automobile manufacturers
turned their attention first to the
more expensive meta1-copper, and
carried still further the principal OF
substitution, first generally establish
ed during the war years.
Substitution took many forms,
among them being sheet-iron water
tanks in place of brass or copper;
malleable or cast-iron water line fit
tings in place of brass; cast-iron
carbureter bowls in place of brass;
d%ie-cast babbit main bearings and
crank pin bearings in place of
bronze-baoked babbit.
"Other substitutions were cast-iron
bushings in place of bronze in cam
shaft bearings, rocker arm bearings,
spring eyes, shackle bolts. brake
equalizers, etc. Tin many cases there
are no bushings at all); cut steel or
aluminium alloy small gears fol

MINING IN MEXICO HAS
RESUMED FULL ACTIVITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Reports
from a number of mining centerJ of
Mexico indicate resumption of wor-i
and enlargement of facilities by some
| operators, with increased production
from various sections, cable dis
patches to the Department of Com
merce from Acting Trade Commits
! sioner Bushnell, Mexico City, state.
While the beneficial effects of thes.
activities are not yet apparent in the
| general business situation, it is anti
cipated a favorable reaction ill be
felt during the coming month. Adj
vices of the reduced oil output, how
| ever, are likely to offset the benefits
of this increase in mining activities,
and, furthermore, it must be borne
in mind that mining progress de-
ponds on continued political stability.
While exports of petroleum for
July showed a very slight increase
over those for June, indications are
that shipments for August will de-
crease about 5000, 900 barrels fol-
lowing the reported decline in pro-
duction of approximately 40 per cen
curing the month. Unless new wells
are developed within the next few
months, this reduced output may be
expected to continue.
Reports from the mining regions
indicate a slightly increasing ma
from all districts over that on last
month. New deposits of lead-silVer
are being worked in the Los Lamen-
tos mountains of Northern Chihuahua
and a 50-kilometer railway extension
has Just been completed to this field.
Part of the properties. principally
silver, in the State of Guanajuato are
now running to capacity and new
propositions are being developed.
Operations in San Luis Potosi are re-
ported as increased. An American
corporation with mines and smelters
in many sections reports generally |
operations and practically
all properties now working at an aV-
increase of so per cent. over the
same period of It's year. A large
copper mining company in Northern
Sonora expects to resume operation 8.
after a suspension of a year and a
half, with a force of $500 men, as
soon as repairs are finished. Many
smaller properties have resumed
business and some are re-openin5
after being shut down for 10 years.

HOW TO Prevent Strikes
BY JOHN X. COMMONS
Professor Economics, University of Wisconsin

I am opposed to compuls DRY arbitration, o anything like the
Kansas court proposal of the Australian or Canadian proposal
| think that a standing oint committee with an impartial
chairman, paid equally by Doth sides, would be the best solution
for the settlement of strikes. The plan would be o n the basis
of collective bargaining and the agreement would be made for a
year o a longer period of Il me between employers and employees
bargaining collectively, and any disputes that arose within the
time of the agreement would be settled by the impartial chair
man, whose salary is paid equally by each side. He would inter-
pref the agreement. AT the renewal of the agreement under
Strikes never will be so pped. The compulsory arbitration
system has as many strikes ard probably more than without It.
1t runs into politics.
The system of collective bargaining with an impartial arbi-
traitor supported equally oy both parties would keep strikes out
of politics. I am in favor IF legislation along the line Of the
British Trades Disputes act Of 1906.
