Professor Eddy's Manning essay was on "Arsenic Elimination in the Reverberatory Refining of Native Copper." When the prices of copper and silver (which are often found in copper ores) are high, it is economic to separate the metals from intrusive materials by electrolysis. But when prices are as low as they are now (last week: copper, 7? per lb., and silver. 30? per oz.), copper mines and refineries must be shut down or copper reduction must be accomplished more cheaply.

Labor, the large part of it that works in steel, copper and textile mills, decidedly had its toes stepped on. After sustaining wage levels through two depressed years while dividends fell and officers' salaries were lopped, employers at last reduced their workers' pay (TIME, Oct. 5). How would the giant with the sledgehammer take it? Up to last week...
