NEW YORK, April "a drop Of
u cent a pound in refined copper
splashed into quiet metals market
last week
In surprise move leading smell
ter broke a six-month deadlock that
has kept domestic copper roughly
a full cent above world levels by
quoting a new price of 10a4 cents.
The lower basis, however, failed
to bulge buyers from their hand-to-
mouth policy.
Major producers, meantime, re-
fused to follow the cut. With poten-
tial war needs hanging over the
market and inventories in fabri-
Gators hands near record low lev
els, many trade analysts said they
felt the current producer price Of
114 cents was justified.
Lower security prices and chaotic
political conditions abroad were re-
flected in a drop in export copper
At the weeks close sellers were get
ting 1919 to 1924 cents a pound.

Milk Consumption Gains
With Control voided
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 8-Consump-
ton of fluid milk in the New York
area is increasing, following voiding
of the marketing control law in the
New York State milk producing area
and the consequent cut of 2 cents
quart to consumers in the area, ac-
cording to a current survey of the
situation by the Standard Statis-
tics Co.
Breakdown of the milk price con-
troll is likely to be advantageous as
regards sales of the two largest dis
tributors in the New York area
which had observed the marketing
regulations, although they were at a
disadvantage in their competition
with certain smaller distributors who
did not observe the law.
Under the marketing control law
milk produced was divided into diff
ferent categories, with the highest
prices being paid for milk intended
for fluid consumption. The surplus,
destined for manufactured products
Cheese, ice cream, butter. etc.. was
priced at about half the level for
that to be sold as fluid milk In view
of this wide differential, certain small
distributors could buy surplus milk
from producers at more than the
blended price paid by the large dis
tributors and then sell it as fluid
milk
This gave them a margin over the
distributors adhering strictly to the
division of milk provided by the law.
With the marketing control ad-
judged illegal by the courts, the two
large distributors have cut fluid milk
prices to consumers 2 cents per quart
in an effort to regain the trade los:
through the questionable tactics of
some Of their competitors.

Duffy. WheatleY and O'Mul-
ley Prepare For Opening
OF Annuul Meeting

President James M. Duffy, First
Vice President f. l.. Wheatley and
Jack O'Malley of the National Broth
erhood of Operative Potters will leave
this weekend for Cincinnati to be on
hand for the opening Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor's annual con-
vention scheduled for the mammoth
Music Hall in that city, Monday.
The convention, originally given to
San Francisco but transferred by the
A. F. Of l.. Executive Council because
Of a reported shortage of suitable
Accommodations, looms as one of the
most important sessions since the be-
ginning of the American labor move
ment.
President Duffy has stated that this
years meeting will be one of the big
gest and most serious since 1917. He
has ventured the opinion that the re-
cent action Of the Metal Trades De-
partment convention in declaring the
present Neutrality Act "un-neutrap
is a preview of the coming sessions.
He believes strong recommendation
for the "Cash and Garry" plan will
be adopted in the early stages of the
convention.
The presence Of the potters' repre-
sentatives have always been felt at
the annual meetings of the Fedora
ton. 1t was President Duffy who
started the nationwide japanese boy
colt and "Buy American" movement
in the 1887 Denver convention and
last year he successfully fought the
lending of government monies to un-
fair firms competing with those hav-
ing an agreement with union labor.
Vice President Wheatley goes to
this years convention fresh from the
Canadian Labor Congress in London,
Ontario, to which he was delegate.
Brother O'Malley was elected third
delegate by the trade during the re-
cent national election.

Freedom and Democracy will stage a

vention, Thursday evening, October s.,
to initiate a broad and comprehensive
program for the defense and extension
of all rights and liberties that follow
from our democracy.
With William Green honorary pres
ident and Matthew Woll president,
the league will work primarily with
the forces of organized labor. AS a
co-ordinating and directing force, the
league will give vital impetus to the
constant struggle for the preserva-
ton of our rights and liberties.
