ANACONDA COMPANY
PASSES DIVIDEND
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 26.-The
Anaconda Copper Mining Company to-
day omitted the quarterly dividend due
at this time. Three months ago IS
cents was paid.
Dividends on the Anaconda Copper
stock were resumed at the rate Of rs
cents a share quarterly in April, 1923,
after having been suspended since
November %. 1920, when a quarterly
dividend Of 81 was declared.
Omission Of the Anaconda dividend
closely follows the passing of the Calu-
met and Hecla dividend last Saturday.
Because of high production costs North
American producers are said to be un-
able to make sufficient profits with the
red metal selling around IS cents a
pound. The price was around Is cents
pound when the dividends were re-
sumed last year.
While the consumption of the COPPER
has been large this last year, due to
the increased demand Of the building
trades. the electrical Industry and au.
tomobile manufacturers, the price has
been kept down by the unusually
heavy imports Of the red metal from
Africa and South America, where pro-
ductton costs are much lower than thew
are in this country.

PITTSBURGH. February 26.-
Prices are being maintained and
operations Of steel mills are at high
rate. Consequently producers take
the attitude that the steel market is
on stable basis for the first half OF
1924 at least. The doubt existing
among many buyers late last year
as to whether prices would hold up
was based on prospective actions of
bars, plates and shapes. Bars are In
heavy demand and shapes are moving
freely. AS to plates, some producers
are well supplied with orders and
price concessions are confined largely
to eastern mills.
Reinsurance as to maintenance Of
steel prices has been the chief factor
in encouraging recent buying. This
is favorable as far as 1t goes, but II
leaves the market in such position
that little further Improvement can
be expected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Out-

Council of New York City and
vicinity, labor did not officially
participate in armistice day pro-
grams. The building tradesmen
held a special meeting at 10
o'clock in St. Marks Place.
Most of the other workers Of
the city had no holiday from the
routine daily tasks, except in a
few Offices.
The Association of the War
Industries Board, however, held
its biennial meeting at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel to discuss
economic and commercial prob
lens that the so-called peace
after the war brought.
Hugh Frayne, general organizer of
the American Federation of Labor, is
listed as a director Of the association,
which is headed by financier Bernard
M. Baruch, former CHIEF of war indus
tries board. Representatives Of prac-
tically all Of the biggest corporations
in the country are members or direc-
tors Of the association.
The session Of the association was
private, tho the general subject of
discussion was known to be concern
ed with the further coordination and
organization of industries for nation
al service during war, following the
theme of mobilization day. In the
evening, Bernard Baruch entertained
the association members at the Zieg-
field Follies.
The gayer note Of the Follies and
the Victory balls, led by the American
Legion's great dance at the Waldorf
Astoria, predominated in armistice
day celebrations generally in the city.

fallen soldiers, except by the Women's

was kept prisoner on Ellis Island for
II months. Did not know that he is
being deported until the last minute.

cate with the Labor Defense Council

niless and without any warm clothes.
Comrade Spisak is an Austrian citi-
zen born in Rosonovec, Austria-Hun
gary, August 20, 1886.
He arrived in the United States Aug.
"a, 1904, and has been a resident of
the U. s. since that time. The Gath of
April, 1921, he was arrested at North
Braddock, Pa, for distributing litera-
ture alleged to have been of sedi-
tious nature. The 10th of September,
1921, a hearing was held before an inn
migration inspector, and the secretary
of labor issued a warrant that Spi-
SAX be deported. On December 10,
1921, Comrade Spisak was brought to
Ellis Island to be deported, where he
was kept prisoner, deprived of life,
liberty and property, without due pro-
cess of law.
In the latter part of October, 1922,
a writ of habeas corpus was issued
and the department of labor consented
to release Spisak on his own recog-
nizance and he was so released on
November, 1922. Since that time he
was employed in Pittsburgh, Pa, and
has not done anything to justify
his rearrest, nor was he informed Of
