WAGES OF MINERS

Recent Rise in Price of Cop

Pay Rolls.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 12.--Money is
pouring into the pockets of the metal
miners all over the world. This is a re-
suit of the sharp advance in the price
of copper and the effect which the de-
mand for that metal has exercised on
the other metal producers.
More men are on the pay rolls than
at any time in a decade. Moreover,
some of them have had two and three
pay raises since the move upward start
ed. and metal miners never have been
cheap to secure, because of the danger
Of their calling and the craftsmanship
required
This situation is strengthening the
position of the coal miners as nothing
else could, as the entire mining indus
try is organized, where men are organ
lied at all, under the auspices of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Effect Of Revolt.
Lead is the metal next actively in de-
nand. The Mexican revolt has I'M
proved the situation for the operators
and workers in this country. The great
lead-silver properties in the central part
Of Mexico, many owned by English
not been interfered with, SO far as
operation is concerned, but they cannot
ship bullion.
Stocks of silver are high and grow
ing higher for several reasons. One is
that silver is produced in conjunction
with copper. lead and zinc, and output
of those metals Is on the upSwing. Also.
considerable silver coin has been de-
monetized in Europe. The British In
dian government has released some
boards also. Silver alone would not get
far. but 1t still is a most valuable by
product along with the so-called baser
metals.
Tin stocks are fairly extensive, and
they gained 2l65 tons in February to
a total of 26,402 tons. the highest
reached in 20 years. But demand is
higher than It has been in years. There
Is every indication that with continued
demand for tin plate and for use in the
automobile industry consumption Will
catch production.
Other Metals in Demand.
Production and consumption of
aluminium are higher today than at any
time in the history of this country. De-
mand is still increasing steadily. The
uses for aluminium in the alloys, which
are more durable ana narQer IMAM tile
metal itself, are increasing by leaps and
bounds. The development of the air
craft industry Is responsible for no small
part of .Rhis demand. High prices for
copper, Grass and bronze are favorable
to the aluminium industry, that metal
being used in substitution.
Nickel production also is higher at
this time than ever before.
1t also is affected by the automobile
and alloy steel demands. Producers are
scarcely able to fill their orders. The
pfice list is not changed materially,
however. since 1928 contracts were re-
sumed at practically the same price for
1929.

NAL separation Of the hereditary materials to

tons Of this material become fragmented, and
sometimes, perhaps, are caused to disappear
entirely. Most Of the sex cells that result from
these changed states are sterile, but some win
unite in fertilization to produce q new
individual. :; -
This new individual, Of course, reflects In
its visible plant characters the absence or
alteration Of, the hereditary material originally
induced by the x-ray. :: Oftentimes the
hereditary material Is not visibly modified by
x-rays, but the plant which is produced by
the union Of such apparently unchanged sex
cells will exhibit striking changes In flower
color. Leaf form and general yigor. 81

to the seeds In the dry state. However, they
affect the rate Of seed termination so that
plants from x-rayed seed grow slowly ct first,
and later appear to catch UP to their un-
treated sister plants. IL 4.
when terminating seeds or young seedlings

changes In growth and development outward
evidences Of modification are paralleled by
vital changes In the nuclei of body and re-
productive cells. It is possible to see, under

are passed on, through growth and further cell
division, to the entire plant body.

Evolution in Plants

THE whole future Of growth, reproduction
- and evolution, 50 far as plant life is con-
cerned, may be greatly affected through the
use of X-ray andradum. In the opinion Of Prof.
T. H. Goodspeed. botanist Of the University Of
California who has been studying the effects
Of radioactive rays upon tobacco plants.
Since 1t Is possible now by the use Of
x-rays and radum to bring about the appear
arice Of mutations in plants" DR.. Goodspeed
points out, 1T Is possible that new varieties OF
importance in agriculture may be produced
with much greater rapidity than has ever
before been possible 5~. teo'
Should the changes produced prove to
increase the economic value Of crop plant,
they can be incorporated into the economically
valuable species by crossing or hybridization,
since the characteristics of the new plant are
transmitted to future generations" says Or.
Goodspeed ..rs t... ee
{ "A familiar example Of this possibility IS
seen In the case of the dwarf or Cupid sweet
pea, which appeared under natural conditions
as a mutation from the previously existing tall
type. BY naturalization Of these two 1t Is pos
sible to produce dwarf races which have all the
different flower colors and flower forms Of the
tall type"
In explanation of the way in which such a
change is induced by the X-ray or by radium
Prof. Goodspeed says: 80
when the sex cells during the maturing
period are given X-ray or radium treatment,

GUGGENHE|M TO AID
AVIATION IN CUBA
New Envoy Expected to En-
courage IntercontinentaI
Air Traffic.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The appointment of Harry F. Gnggen-
helm as Ambassador to Cuba Is viewed
By aviation officials in general as de-
cided stimulus to intercontinental avia-
zion development In the Western Henri
sphere.
the view Is taken for two reasons.
The FIRST is that Mr. Guggenheim backs
his enthusiasm for flying with good
United States currency. The second is
that Cuba Is regarded as the natural
gateway, If there is such a thing as a
gate in the air, for airplanes southbound
for Central and South America and
northbound for the United States and
Canada.
Whether President Hoover had 1t in
mind or not, aviation men say, the
appointment of Mr.. Guggenheim, gen.
orally regarded as Americas foremost
aviation hacker, will do much to for
ward the already rapidly developing air
traffic between the United States and
the countries to the southwark.
Second Flying Envoy.
When Mr.. Guggenheim arrives in
Havana he will be the second flying
Ambassador the United States has sent
to the South. Ambassador Morrow, at
Mexico City, not only has smoothed out
many difficulties confronting his Office
When he went to Mexico, but has been
instrumental in the development of air
communication between this country
and the neighboring republic. He has
taken numerous airplane trips, includ-
ing several with his Son-in-law, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
All air lines to Central and South
America, with one exception, lead
through Cuba. The exception is the
air mail line from Brownsville, Tex, to
Guatemala, by way of Vera Cruz,
Mexico
The Pan-American Lines, Inc, oper-
ates two lines from Miami through
Havana to South America and the
West Indies. One of these lines eX-
tends southwestward to the Panama
Canal Zone, with stops in various
Central American countries. The other
line leaves Havana for Porto Rico and
soon will be extended to the Eastern
Coast of South America, where it will
join line from the Panama Canal
Zone to countries in the northern sec
tons of South America.
Cuba's Location Excellent.
Cuba's central location is not the only
factor which has caused it to become
the focal point OF aviation development
to the South. In addition to real en-
thusiasm on the part of the Cubans.
the weather, with the exception of a
short period each year when hurricanes
rise out of the Caribbean and sweep
northward, generally is ideal for flying,
the island lying just out of the range
Of troublesome gulf trade winds.
INT. Guggenheim," Assistant Post
master General Glover said today, has
put a lot of the mind into the air
mindedness of America"
Mr.. Glover, who has charge of the
air mail, observed that the counsel and
advice Mr.. Guggenheim would be able
to give to aviation interests and the
influence his Office can exert in favor
Of aviation will be Of inestimable value
to flying in the Western Hemisphere.
