COPPER SHOWS
 CAINS;ExPECTS
 CODE TO ASSIST
M a rk e d Improvement in Operating Conditions
 Have Occurred

|. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Specialists in copper, who have been studying the industry's future under the MIRA code recently submitted by the producers, conclude that high ly beneficial developments may reasonably be expected in this field.
 Marked improvement has char acterized operating conditions ir this industry since last April, and many factors have contributed to the brighter outlook
 In the domestic market prices have advanced about 80 per cent above the level existing early this year. Demand has spurted sharply but meanwhile production has been kept well under control
 As a result of this policy on the part of producers of the red metal consumption has been ahead oi output for several months and is reflected in decreasing stocks oi the metal in the producers hands Surplus stocks, however, are still regarded as unusually large for a healthy condition.
 The control of production has been such stabilizer that students of the question expect that ths industry's final code will retain some method of continuing that policy in addition to providing for a minimum wage and maximum ] hours of labor.

rendered for crime which police in
his home town did not know had been

dine was holding forth and announced
that he had stolen truckload Of
hogs from his employer, r. B. Cost
ner, and sold them at Danville, Va,
but that Selby police did not know it
yet.

moment, hustled Fortenberry to the
county Jail upon regaining his equili-

truck near the railroad station in
Danville after disposing of the pork
ers" and proceeded to enjoy spree
that lasted until the money ran out.
