Cooperative Spirit
Of Copper Industry
Pictured 10 Probers
President of Anaconda
Denies Profiteerine in
War Emergency
1y the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
Cornelius F. Kelley, president OF
the Anaconda Copper Mining Co.,
contended yesterday that the copper
industry had demonstrated during
the World War "the willingness of
American industry to cooperate
with the Government in time of
emergency"
Mr.. Kelley, testifying before the
Monopoly Committee, quoted vari-
Gus historians in support of his con-
tention that the copper industry
made no effort to profteer during
the war but actually accepted prices
lower than could have been obtained.
He explained that he wished to
reply to an allegation before the
Munitions Committee several years
ago, in a memorandum submitted by
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, that the industry sought to
proffteer during the war" and failed
to cooperate with the Government" y"
Production Share Cited.
Members of the Monopoly Com
mittee staff placed in the record
table showing that whereas in 1915
"so-called independents" were re-
sponsible for 731 per cent of the
Nations copper production, their
share had become only 22.4 by 1887,
the remainder being accounted for
by three major producers.
The three named were Anaconda,
the Kennecott Copper Corp. and the
Phelps Dodge Copper Co.
Kennecott, the figures showed, had
increased its share from Al per cent
In 1920 to 35.9 per cent in 1887, the
largest increase made by any OF
the three.
Mr.. Kelley testified that the capi-
tai of his company had increased
from $3O,00O,0O0 in 1895 to $430,-
100000.
Other Metals Factor.
Discussing other phases, Mr.. Kel-
ley said that the industry depended
to a large extent on such by
products as gold and silver.
Last year, he testified. recovery Of
scrap metal accounted for about 40
per cent of the Nations copper pro-
duction.
Describing the industry's war
time attitude, Mr.. Kelley declared a
Producers Committee dealt with the
Government as a unit, allocating
production and establishing prices.

Railroads Prepared
For Heavy Traffic,
Official Reports
Gormley Says Roads
Very Much Ahead {
Equipment Needs
By the Associated Press.

M. j. Gormley, Associa ton of
American Railroad. official. said to-
day that the Nations railroads were
keeping very much ahead" of
equipment requirements.
While the carriers have not felt
yet the full effects of the national
defense program, Gormley declared
they were constantly adding rolling
stock and anticipated no difficulty
in meeting any demands made upon
them.
Gormley, executive assistant to
the A. A. r. president. said that
$4,000 new freight cars had been
placed in service this year. and there
were 10000 additional cars on order.
He estimated that rebuilt cars would
raise the total to approximately
100000.
THE railroads will obtain what
ever additional equipment the traffic
justifies," he asserted. There is,
however, no definite equipment pro-
gram. Each railroad estimates and
provides for its own needs"
While the association expects
average 1910 car loadings to run
about 10 per cent ahead of 1899,
Gormley predicted that the peak
this year would be lower than last
year. The 1889 peak of about 861,-
900 cars, he said, was handled with
out any difficulty and with $4,000
cars still reported as surplus.
