BETTER TIMES PREDICTED FOR METAL MINING Return to Pre-War Activity Expected Within Six Months. 3URNS SEES PROGRESS CHICAGO, April B. —The metal mining Industry trill “be on Its feet’’ -within six Months. This Is the belief expressed In an Interview today by John T. Burns, secretary of the American Mining Congress, after returning from a tour of the leading mining districts. '— "Paralysis of the industry has cost countless millions of dollars,” Burns said, “but there is a general feeling of optimism and confidence as to the future in the gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc fields.” ‘"efficiency or LABOR INCREASES. The most encouraging Information, Burns said he obtained, was of a gradual Increase In efficiency of labor. “During the war labor was about BO per cent efficient," he added. “Now It Is getting back to normal. Some cuts for miners were made in Utah and other States. “Transportation costs have rendered zinc, lead and copper mining unprofitable by forcing skyward prices of materials necessary to the operation of mines. “Many mine operators faced complete disorganization of forces, maintained for many years. Some mines closed down will be flooded and are practically a total

Even the famous gold mines at Cripple Creek, Colo., the greatest gold region in the world, were down. “Mining will be resumed when the constructive program of general industry In the United States starts.” Burns learned that American mining and oil men in Mexico are pleased with the situation there. “They believe,” he said, "that American interests will receive adequate protection from the Obregon government. In the opinion of those in touch with that situation Mexico will sign satisfactory treaties with United States within the next three months. “There is no real lssne between the two governments so far as mining and oil production is concerned.” From Eastern reports Burns learned there was some improvement in the coal Industry.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921.

Portland, Me., but when the New England Passenger Association refused to grant rates to the veterans, that city was abandoned. Accprding to national officers, who have their headquarters in the Indiana State capitol, there is a possibility of holding the convention in St. Paul, Minn., as that city has forwarded an invitation to the veterans. Definite selection of St. Paul, however, is delayed because the Minnesota Legislature, which will be asked to include an item in tho regular appropriation bill for expenses for the encampment, will not consider tho appropriation measure until the latter part of the session. Dayton, Ohio, also is being considered, and there is a 'possibility that a definite invitation will bo received from there. Until more bids are received, no action can be taken regarding the date and site of the encampment. When a number of bids are received, the executive committee will meet in Indianapolis or Chicago and make the final selection.
