 To Save New England Freight Outlets
Interstate Commerce Commissioner Declares Section Should Control and Finance Its Own Railroads, Claiming Welfare of This Territory at Stake

Congressman T.. W. Goss. in his fampaigD to preserve for the raIl- FOads of New England their inde- pendcnce and, thereby. save the ports of outlet on the coast from being reIegated to the sidelinee. has provoked support of his proposal.

 Tn other words the seaporta along the New England coast would even tuaiiy and, automatically, be placed on the sideIinee and this section of inc United States would soon be placed on the "incident0T lisf.
 In order to safeguard New Eng land commerce. therefore, Congress man Gosa has taken tbe floor in E6ngrcss and opposed the proposed Generalization.

withstanding that the, industry has
kept abreast of the times by in
creasing it's efficiency in mining
and scientific development and re-
search work in metallurgy, the cost
of producing copper has not been
greatly lowered. The reason for this
is that our ore bodies were virgin.
high grade and near the surface.
The cost of deep mining and the
lower grade of the ores has largely
offset the benefits derived from i'm
proved methods.
We are confronted today with
competition from Canada, South
America and Africa, which countries
have the advantage of large, virgin,
high grade ore bodies as well as
all the benefits of the developments
which. have been made by the Am
erican producers in both mining and
metallurgy during the past forty
years. In addition to this the South
American and African mines
have the advantage of cheap native
labor and only a fraction amount
of governmental expense or taxa
ton as compared with the American
producer. :"

telope it was reported that, notwith-
standing the additional cost Incl.
dental to starting their plant, they
were able to make a profit during
August and September at the pre-
vailing price for copper, and point
ed out the possibility of being able
to deliver copper to both European
and American ports at cost I'm
der five cents per pound, These
foreign mines, which are now equip
ped and in process of equipment,
will be able to produce a copper
tonnage far in excess of the world
markets demand outside of the
United States. Their only possible
market for this excess will be in the
United States to the American con-
sumner, in competition with domest-
tic copper produced at a cost of
from eight to ten cents per pound.
Unless the American producer is
protected against this competition
by a tariff equal to the difference
between the cost of domestic and
forcing production, the present pro-
ducing mines will not only be fore
ed. out of production, but there will
be no new developments and the
money that would naturally be spent
in developing our copper resources
will go to these foreign countries
where there is an assurance of high
grade ore bodies, low taxes, cheap
labor and large profits.

In certain neighborhoods certain
languages take precedence over The
English language, both in street con
versations and in signs. The Williams
burg Bridge that connects lower East
Side with Brooklyn, has some signs
entirely in Jewish. Others carry Italian
and English. This same condition CD

Up in the Bronx there. are quite {

OF town che can see signs in Arabic

OF the oldest in the world. Nearly all
of these foreign places are eatinn
