REPUBLICANS ARE LINING UP
"There must be no turning back
ward of the hands of the poliitcal
clock,” said Raymond Benjamin, Re
puclican regional representative for
far western states, as a Boise meeting
of Idaho Republican leaders, state of
ficers and Republican members of the
legislature. The meeting was re
garded as the opening gun of the Re
publican campaign in Idaho for the
nation ticket in 1920.
“The party must march forward to
a victory in 1920 undivided with no
reference to how any man got into the
party, whether by the back door or the
front door,” Benjamin continued.
“There is today a propaganda to
overrun this government by the Indus
trial Workers of the World. One of
the planks of the Republican party’s
national campaign will be a policy to
exterminate this vicious element and
its insiduous propaganda without the
coddling of its members which has
marked the present administration’s
attitude. The conditions which exist
ed up to a few weeks ago in the north
west due to the propensity of the red
tape ridden bureaus to “manana” the
I. W. W.’s is a most striking example
of the strength which these American
Bolsheviks have been able to acquire
through coddling.”
“The people of the United States
have looked with anxious eyes to
Seattle and the situation which de
veloped containing potentialities and
purposes for the destruction of organ
ized government. You may recall that
the other twin brother of Bolshevists,
the Hun, denied he started the war.
Give equal credence to the I. W. W.,
who seek to erect in the place of this
government by the people, a govern
ment by class, (whos dominant char
acteristic is discontent and dissatis
faction). Crush them under your heel
as you would a rattlesnake and do
not consider their protestations of in
nocence no matter how vehement.”
As regional director, Benjamin rep
resents the Republican national com
mittee in California, Washington, Ore
gon, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona. He
is also chairman of the California Re
publican State Central Committee.
HEAVY STOCKS OF COPPER
Every copper mine in the United
States could close today and stay
closed for a whole year and the indus
tries of the world would not be able to
absorb all the copper that now is for
sale in the market. From the view
point of the producers of copper that
is a most preasimistic truism regard
ing the situation. There are today
stocks of copper amounting to 1,600,
000,000 pounds in the United States.
In Europe stocks of copper, owned by
the governments of France and Eng
land and by large users of copper in
those countries amount to 650,000,000
pounds. Together the total amount of j
unmarketed copper now for sale :
reaches better than two billion :
pounds.
Even with the restricted output of i
copper mines in the United States as ]
operating since the first of January, :
the production was better than 300,- :
000,000 pounds for the quarter. The •
sales for that same quarter were 110,
000,000 pounds. So the total stocks of •
copper were added to, during the first :
quarter of 1919, by 190,000,000 pounds, •
notwithstanding that curtailment had •;
been put into general practice wher- :•
ever possible. •:
That Is the worst there Is to publish :j
about the copper situation. There are :■
signs that are better. Notwithstanding •:
that enormous stocks of copper are ac- :•
cumulating and have been accumlat- •:
ing on the smelter docks of this dls- :■
trict since last December, that sales •:
have been few and far between, and •:
practically no deliveries have been
made, except on old orders, hurry- ji;
up orders for Immediate shipment of
copper came in this week. One ship- 3
ment called for express service. Car- Ij;
load lots by fast freight went out Frl- £
day and more cars have been orderec
up for filling. In view of the fac
that water shipments can reasonably
be expected to be made within a fev
weeks and the further fact that thi
difference between rail freight charge
and lake freight is heavier than eve
before, rail shipments must indicat1
one thing—an immediate necessit;
for some copper from the Michigai
district. That is the brightest spot ii
the metal situation.
Two billion pounds of copper ar
known to be in the market. All alllei
governments have some copper o:
hand, but Germany, Austria, Russit
Belgium, Hungary are known to b
absolutely bare of copper. Swltzei
land and Italy are going to electrif
their railways. They must. Coal i
impossible for them hereafter. Thei
wonderful natural water power mus
be developed and applied. That mean
a further call for copper. The enoi
mous tonnage on the market is reall
not unusual. The public knows abou
it this time. Formerly the facts neve
reached the public. One billion pound
is not sensational simply for coverln
the transit copper.—Boston Transcrij
WESTERN LABOR CONDITIONS
In a survey of general condition
throughout the Twelfth Federal R<
serve district, made public severs
weeks ago, the federal reserve banl
of San Francisco, reports that “th
problem of unemployment, is sti
serious throughout the district.” A
the time the survey was made ther
were over 56,000 persons out of wor
in the six states composing the dii
trict, exclusive of the thousands wh
were on strike at the time at hte vai
ious shipbuilding centers.
California reported 19,600 on th
idle list, in addition to 10,000 shi]
yard workers. In Oregon there was a
estimated surplus of labor of nearl
9,000; in Washington the total nun
her of unemployed was between 10
000 and 12,000, about a third of thi
number being in Seattle, in Utah ther
were approximately 5,000 looking fo
work; in Nevada, about 3,500; and r<
ports from Arizona indicated abou
7,250 out of work in that state.
Labor conditions are improvin
rapidly in Oregon and Washington an
it was expected, at the time the sui
vey was made, that the unemploye
would be almost fully absorbed by th
first of May, due to public improv<
ments and increased work on farm
and in lumber camps.
The same report shows a decreas
of more than sixteen per cent in e:
ports from Alaska during 1918, with
decrease of more than 7,000 in popi
lation for the year. The number c
people leaving the territory in 191
totaled 27,732, which was 7,692 mor
than entered in that period.
