WAR ORDERS IK U. S. INDICATE
THE END IS LONG WAY OFF
That the war will continue Indefi
nitely la Indicated by the continued
ordcr3 for rifles and other munitions.
The Midvale Steel Company Is
makln 3.00n rifles per day, and expects
by the first of the year to increase the
dally output to 7,000. The Westing
house Electric Company has a con
tract for 1,800,000 rifles for the Allies
and 1j turning these out as fast as Us
factories can produce them.
The Remington Company has
contracts totaling 8160,000,000 for
rilles to be shipped to England and
France and In order to fill its con
tracts more rapidly It ha^ Invested
$25,000,000 In the extension of lt3 fac
tory, thus furnishing a large market
for many American materials and
employment for American labor out
side of the direct production of the
rifles themselves.
This large demand for materials for
the production of arms and munitions
has served to maintain the price of
copper and zlnk. J. P. Morgan & Po,
acting for the Allies, placed orders
for brass during the month of August
to the amount of 15,000 tons. What
the activity In the copper market
means to various communities In the
United States is Illustrated by the
case of Butte, Montana.
Although credited with a population
of less than 40,000, the mining Indus
try alone affords that town a monthly
pay roll of $2,350,000. This is an
average of $G0 per month for every
man, woman, and child in the town.
Of course the population Is abnormal
now, and many of those on the Butte
pay roll live outside of the city limits.
The figures illustrate, however, the
enormous effects of war orders upon
the industries of towns so situated.
Npturally this business is reflecting?
In order for other commodities not di
l-cctly used in munition production.
