PRICE OF COPPER 231-2C

Can’t Cut Wages and United States May Seize Recalcitrant Mines. Washington, Sept. 21.—President Wilson approved an agreement entered into by the war industries board by which the United States government, its allies and the public will obtain copper at 2.3% cents a pound f. o. b. New York. The price is subject to revision after four months if conclusive evidence.is presented to show that it should either go up or down. Apparently the president is determined to enforce his edict if recalcitrant producers fail to conform to the arrangement, as a formal statement issued said that the proper departments would be asked to take over mines and plants of those who balked. Severe restrictions are placed about the agreement, as it is provided that sales shall be directed through the war industries board in order to keep the output out of th'6 hands of speculators, and that wages in the copper industry, now at a high level, shall not be lowered, and that the output shall be kept at a maximum.

OFF FOR THE TRAINING CAMP

(Continued from page one)

pared and equipped to go out m the irorld and cope with the battles of life. No set program had been arranged for the departure of the boys, hut as the time to start drew near a large crowd assembled on the court house lawn, and all the »pupils of the Rensselaer high school came in a body to accompany the boys to the. train. When the start was made the scholars and others present fell in line and marched to the depot. The Rensselaer band was also oin hand and gave a military tinge yo the'“Seigae; by rendering several patriotic airs. l As was required by law,, the young men were placed in charge of two of their number, Louis W. Misch and Delevan J. Babcock, who were provided with transportation, meal tickets (good for two meajs on the train) ( and the entry certificates of the group. The final scenes of parting were quiet and undemonstrative with one exception. John Kaufman, a member of the Amish church, which is opposed to participation in war, was accompanied to the train by several relatives and their parting was indeed pathetic. The boys left here on the lb: 53train, which was about thirty minutes late, and were due to arrive at Louisville at 7:35 p. m. It is probable they were also late at Louisville, but went direct to the camp. The boys from Lake county were in a special coach attached to the rear of the train, and -were joined here by the Jasper county boys, and at Reynolds by the« Newton county quota of twenty-three, and at Lafayette by the Warren county contingent. As the train drew into Rensselaer the fellows from Lake county were quite hilarious and apparently very happy. On the sides of the coach they had inscribed’ “From Hammond to Berlin,” “Berlin or Bust,” and "To Hell with the Kaiser.” No word has been received herefrom any of the boys but they no doubt reached their destination safe and by this time are well settled amid their new surroundings.
