ASHURST COPPER gill
PROGRESSING

Washington. May 90 - The
senate committee ON mines and
mining has favorably reported
the Ashurst bill which appropria
tes 5000, 900 900 for the purchase
bv the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation Of surplus copper.
The bill provides for the pur
chase in the open market of sur
plus copper for the use of the
federal government ia construct
ing military and naval equipment
and public buildings.
Ia discussing the bill, Senator
Ashurst said that the copper sur
plus must be absorbed to aid in
the recovery of the copper indus
try. This measure might save
the government a considerable
sum-" he said. IF it become ia.
volved in msior war-and mili
tary experts say this is not im.
probable. Then q tremendous
amount of copper would be re
quired, and it would cost far
more than the present price.
The world war sent the price of
copper up to IS cents a pound.
Then our government stepped in
and az q war measure, set the
price at 26i cents a pound. At
that price our government want
ed all the copper it could get.
and insisted that all American
! copper mines be run at full capa
city"
Previous to the favorable re.
port on the Ashurst bill made by
the senate committee, Senators
Ashurst and Hayden we're two
OF ten senators who petitioned
President Roosevelt to urge the
use Of as much copper as pos
sible ia federal buildings. 10
their petition they argued that
the comparative cheapness Of
copper made its use more econo
mical than at any time within re
cent year, aud that this aid could
be given to 25O,OCO persons de
pendent for their liviog on cop
per mines now closed.
This petition was taken to the
White House by Senator Carl
Hayden, who afterward said that
the President was sympathetic
with the proposal and promised
to take it under consideration.
Other signers of this petition,
also from copper, producing
atates, were senators Hatch.
T Erickson, Pittman, Thomas of
Utah, Pope, McCaran and King.
Their statement said:
From al engineering stand
point and for the social welfare
OF the West, We believe the Pres
ident to be fully justified in
directing that this principal sup
port be given an industry essen
tial to national recovery and in
valuable to national Defense"
| Among their arguments for
the use Of copper we're:
! Copper is quality material
for permsoent building and the
accepted standard for electrical
transmission lines.
The LABOR represented in finish
ed copper products is. about rs
per cent of its value, the largest
labor value of any competitive
metal products.
The Western states depend for
economic recovery on their basic
raw products, of which copper is
among the most important.
! Federal, state nd private
funds are being spentin millions

shutdown of the mines and hav
