Weekly Copper Review


copper VIII be represented in this
export association designed FOR the
more orderly marketing of foreign
copper.
The only authorized statement from
New York to date, is the announce
ment made early. in February to the
effect that preliminary conferences
in which most of the copper pro-
ducers interested in foreign markett
have participated have resulted in
the drafting of a plan for the forma-
tion of an export association under
] the provisions of the Webb Pomcr-
enc law" 1t is added that this
drafts have been submitted to coun-
sci of the respective companies for
study
Further than this it is understood
that conferences have been held with
officials in Washington. Whether
matters have progressed to this stage
or not it is certain that no definite
step will be taken by producers in.
the United States without the entire
approval of the federal authorities.
They intend to lay their cards on

of justice and the federal trade COM
mission that their activities will not
RESTRAIN trade unlawfully in the
domestic market.
1t was recently. stated by President
Loeb of the American Metal company
that the United STAGES consumed 40
per cent of all copper used in 1903
and the balance of the world con-
sumed 60 per cent. Last year, how
ever, the United States CONSUMED 81
per cent and other countries 40 per
cent. large vacuum, therefore,
exists in the European need for cop
per, inasmuch as it's takings in the
past several years have not even
distantly approached the total which
would have been warranted by nor
NAL business development. President
Loeb sees in the low price of copper
q compensating feature by reason of
the wide publicity which has been
given to the red metal with the re-
suit that where copper can be used
at all it is being used in preference
to otheF metals.
This, in a measure, explains the
astounding domestic deliveries and
the fact that the metal lis going into
consumption as fast as it is being
produced. The gain in copper con-
sumption in the United States of 110
per cent between 1913 and 1925 does
not at all Indicate. we have reached
the saturation point. I am of the
opinion that the full effect of the
development and expansion projects
inN our public utilities, such as the
power, telephone and railway com
panies and host of Others has not
as yet made itself felt. L do not
look for a shrinkage in domestic
consumption in spite of the fact that
there may at some future time be a
temporary contraction in the use of
copper in some fields, such as the
building and automotive Industries.
In Europe there is a large stock
of unrefined copper which sooner or
later will have to lbe marketed on oae
level where it will pay to put it
through on account of THE tight
money markets in the copper con-
stunning countries of Europe. It may
be safely assumed that the business
in these copper consuming countries
is at low ebb and that any change
which takes place will be for the
better. Consumers in Europe have
starved themselves as far as their
copper requirements are concerned.

FOUND DEAD IN BED

CHICAGO, March 15.-James Hun
ter, golf professional, and brother
of Willie Hunter, well known Chi
cago golf pro, was found dead in
bed in his room in hotel here
today. Mystery surrounds the cause
Of death and a post mortem exami-
nation was ordered.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-09-16

TT was the persistent protest Of the
L workers of America and Mexico
which really secured the release Of
Charles Cline, Jose Rangel and their
brothers from Texas prisons. Only
the mass demonstrations and prompt
protest of the workers in every part
Of the world has prevented the textile
barons and their kept judiciary in
Massachusetts from executing their
dastardly plan of death against Sacco
and Vanzetti.
The fraternal aid of our brothers in
other countries in the campaign of
protest against the threatened execu-
ton OF Sacco and Vanzetti has dem
onstrated to us the value and need of
international solidarity for the cause
of labor defense in all lands. Just as
in America, so in the capitalist coun-
tries throughout the world, the war
against the workers and the peasants
grows sharper and more bitter Thous-
ands of the best fighters for freedom
in Europe have been cruelty murdered.
Other thousands have been tortured
and imprisoned under the most hor-
rible circumstances. In some parts OF
the world whole nations have become
great prison for the workers and
peasants.
The workers OF America who have
stretched out the hand Of fraternal
solidarity with the cause of the Hun
garian, Polish, British and Lithuanian
workers threatened with death or i'm
prisonment in the last year, must con-
tinue their splendid work of aid and
protest in behalf Of the flower of the
European fighters for liberation. In
China and South America, and in the
colonies and semi-eolonies of Amer
lean imperialism like Haiti, Cuba, the
Philippine Islands, Hawaii San Do
mingo, the prisoners of imperialism
call upon us to aid them in their battle
for liberty.
THIS condition calls for generous aid
and swift action. Our imprisoned
brothers and comrades must be re-
leased from capitalist captivity. Their
dependents must be relieved Of their
sufferings. The workers who are
threatened with Imprisonment or
death must be snatched from the
hands of their prosecutors and saved
for the great struggle of the working
class. To the class war prisoners and
those who are menaced with prison
we must show great solidarity.
This is a time when every worker
must join his voice and strength in
mighty movement for the defense of
labor. The signs which point to re-
newed attacks upon the workers and
their conditions of life, against their
unions and their political organiza-
tons, against their right to strike and
to organize, make it imperative that
such movement be built into a great
weapon for the working class.
Such a movement was formed at
the first conference Of International

Having great faith in heaven and
other vast and unseen powers, the Ne
gro has been expecting either God or
these rich white people to settle his
affairs and do him justice or see that
justice is done him. He has even
been in the habit of thinking and
charging all his woes to the opposition
Of the "po whites" It seems seldom
to occur to him or to the poorer whites
that there Is but one real interest in
this country for poor people, for work
ing people, of any color, and that they
must pursue, defend and sustain that
interest together, with no thought of
color. Every one of the so-called Gin
terraciar movements in this country
recognizes this truth In fact If not in
creed. They go on the assumption
that white and colored people, of the
various classes even, have the same
interests regardless of race and color.
Surely, then, the poor who suffer the
same lack and are pinched by the
same need ought to see the community
Of their interests.
Colored workers in America need
not expect white employers TO defend
black workers against white workers.
except when the employers are at war
with the white workers. When the
war Is over the blacks are to be the
chief losers every time.
Do Away With Color Line.
But in any and all cases division
Of labor on a "color line" or any other
irrelevant line, is loss to all the la.

Youth Appeal in
Labor Day Paper
BY LOUIS 5LUME,
Young Worker Correspondent.

BOSTON, Mass.-A grand old
custom was resusciated here this
year when 5000 union members
paraded on Labor Day while cold
drizzle fell. 600 striking milk wagon
drivers, against whom an injunction is
in force, marched in front, clad in
jumpers and overalls. President John
Kearny of the Boston Central Labor
Union upset precedent by walking
naturally. The Workers Party are not
those who would let the revival pass
unnoticed SO the Boston Worker
was set up and printed for Labor Day
distribution.
The platform of the Workers Party
Of Massachusetts occupied a promi-
nent place in the makeup. An ex-
position on our miIl-owning senator,
VIM. Butler, and an appeal to the
young workers of Boston were fea-
tured. And very important, the labor
history of the notorious democrat,
David F. Walsh, was laid open.
The distribution Of these papers
were expertly handled and 5000 of
them were gone in an hour. 1t was
good to see workers so eager to get
the paper. One sympathizer into whose
hands a copy CHANGED to come, cried:

Mass. Students Out
to Organize League

NORWOOD, Mass.-On Sunday,
Sept. 5, 1925, representatives Of the
various Young Workers Leagues in
District / met here. Norwood,
Maynard Gardner, Milford, N. H.
and Worcester were among the
units represented, with the addition
of a few party representative from
different locals.
Comrade Ray, district organizer,
called the meeting together, after
which all representatives reported on
the activities of the different Young
Workers Leagues. Judging from most
of the reports, the units have not been
quite as active as could be expected,
but this is, in a large measure, due
to the summer lull in the movement
activity.
This, however, will be remedied by
more intensive educational and organ
national work. The organizational
end of this work will be taken care of,
in part, by committee of five, select
ed from the students of the Y. w. L.
Summer School, these students being
Paul MARTHA (Worcester), Zero
Laakso (Fitchburg), lorna Kangas
(Keene, N. H., Vellamo Johnson
(Concord) and Sirkka Lola MAY
nard). Their five weeks training at
summer school has fitted them for this
work, and they are more interested
in the movement than ever, and if
they are successful, and we are sure
they will be, in instilling some of this
enthusiasm in some of the other young
comrades, all Young Workers Leagues
will be on the upward grade.
The expenses incurred by this or
ganizational committee will be de-
frayed by a series of exchange enter
tainments between the different
leagues, and it is hoped that these en-
tertainments will be beneficial, mas
much as they will create an interest
in the work.

A millionaire who affects a mania

Of any other color; he is interested in

down the status OF all workers, lnclud.

white workers these blacks become

his own little individualistic soul; and
not getting any satisfactory self-ex-
preston out of the method the church
laid out for him, to use, he set out to
save it with gun. This does not
mean that he changed his point Of
view. He simply changed his methods.
If he knew anything, he would know
better than to try to express life in
any such individualistic way. But we
can hardly expect him to know any
more than the church and the govern
ment do.
Crime Question.
These gunner are dear fellows, and
we ought to find way to do some
thing for them. l am sure they would
respond all right. The trouble is that
we want them to quit being gunner,
while we are unwilling to quit being
gunner ourselves. We go after them
with guns. We actually imprison and
hang them, by way of showing our
fine, fraternal feeling, and then seem
surprised when they develop some
thing of the same attitude toward u.s.
Do you not believe in police force?
the white haired hereto was asked.
Oh, yes, he answered, and 1 believe
the police should be we'll armed. Not
with guns and clubs, however. They
should be armed with understanding.
They should be men and women whom
nobody could possibly fear. They
should inspire friendship and con-
fidence and courage. They should un-
derstand that every human being is
trying to realize human life, and
they should be passionately interested
in helping him.
Punishment, of course, would be out
of the question. Jails should be abol-
ished altogether There should be
compulsory education, of course, and
compulsory work, but not by the pres
ent method, Instead of compelling the
prisoner to go to an uninteresting
school, or to take an uninteresting
job, the school and the job should be
compelled to become so interesting

Pushing Our Government.
That is the human way to fight
crime, and it is the way the average
American employs, in so far as he is
able to, in dealing with his own chill
dren. 1t is effective, too Children
who are given that sort of attention
seldom become criminals. When we
realize that we are all one family
after all, we shall try the same method
on everybody's children; only, of
course, by pooling our knowledge and
our resources, we can look for meal
culably greater results. The main
thing that seems to stand in the way
is our notion of government AS a
patriotic American, l should like to do
something to help overthrow, or un-
dermine that notion, and push it out
of our way. Do you suppose that l
could get myself tried for pushing
over the government?
