Butte, March 7.-Havfag linked
the copper mines Of Butte to the
brass business Of the couatry, Con
F. Kelley, president Of the Anacon.
da Copper company, told 500
banquetors of the Butte chamber
Of commerce, Tuesday night, the
greatest mining camp on earth has
assumed the responsibility Of the
prosperity Of many communities In
Its own state and in several others
and must live up to it by maintain
ing industrial peace and order
within itself, SO that the splendid
future dawning for the metal in
dustry shalt be made continuous
and solid at the source Of raw
supply.
Cheers swept the room as Mr..
Kelley made his earnest plea in a
blast against radicalism and revo-
luton Of the brand that but re-
Gently ceased to keep Butte in
industrial unrest. He paluted
picture Of great prosperity for
Butte. Great Falls and Anaconda
If tho natural working Of economic
laws Is allowed to proceed un-
checked by agitators.
Economic Laws to Bring Results
In part he said:
Now, perhaps. / ought to dissillu-
'ionize you n little bit. 1t has been
in that splendid spirit which
$ SO often manifested in Butte. that
he affiliation of the American Brass
'ompany with the Anaconda Copper
dining company is panacea for all
'ur ills. and we have emerged into
hat happy condition of which I so
'ften thought when I heard them sing
N the streets of Paris right after
he war:
After the war there viii be a good
lme everywhere.
You cannot fight economic laws
my more than you can fight the laws
# health. and economic conditions
throughout the world are not stabil-
zed. Until they are. there cannot be
universal prosperity. Our merger
With the brass company was in the
pirit of creating use for our prod
lets in this country and developing
he metals that we produce, and say
ng Here. let's get together: let's
nifty this business. SO that the great
st copper user and the greatest cop
Ter producer in the country will link
ortunes and destinies and then. per-
aps. combined we may be able to
ace the future with confidence and
nth the hope of sustaining our in
ustries and the communities that are
epending upon them That was the
motive in this transaction
nd it was along those lines that we
ried to carry it out and, as you krow,
splendid fruition followed that labor.
"A word about this source of
-ealth of ours: Every manufacturing
in the world is dependent
pom supply of raw material, and in
lie evolution it is perfectly natural
/ the evolution that is inevitable-if
here is revival of business in this
'orld we stand upon as stable and
$ solid footing as rock bottom and
$ any industry in this world.
Copper Has Great Future
In talk the other night in New
ork, said, if you are a bull on any,
ling in this world be bull on copper.
you believe the world is going to
ake progress, that civilization is GO
lg to develop, then put your money Oh
,pper and stay there.
And if / did not believe it as firm
us I believe anything in this world.
could not utter it. 1t is, therefore.
" conviction that copper. so far as
lie world is concerned, is a sound
nsiness, sound business So far as
utte is concerned, and ] simply say
, you tonight that no one knows. the
ian does not live, who can put a limit
round the product of the Rutte hill
nd say that it will stop at this point
r that, and | believe that the pro-
uction will last longer than my energy
nd vitality will last in the endeavor to
xhaust it. (Applause.)
Must Consider Other Communities
'People of Butte, we have taken on
new responsibility. When We linked
,ese great enterprises in Wisconsin.
ew York and Connecticut with the des
nies of the A. c. NJ, we linked them
D with the destinies of Butte, Great
alls and Anaconda; and Butte as the
,urce of that stream of wealth that
,gins with the ore and ends with the
nished product, has assumed willing
or unwillingly, ha had placed on it,
new responsibility and it is up to
lis community to make its civic life
I'd industrial life place where busi-
ass can prosper, where 1t can be
lrried on without interruption, and
here its product can be relied upon
! satisfy the wants of these great
ills on the other side of the country.
