Show Up and Down the Street Hatch Says Coppers Problems More Complex Than Steels By Robert H Woody Tribune Business Editor The problems of the copper industry are far more complicated than that of the steel industry. They involve internation- - j al loans backed by U. S banks and political stability in Third World Countries, and domestic week of the International Trade Commissions finding of injury to the U.S.copper industry by import copper and its call for tariffs or quotas. "The president had poor advice. He also said he regretted Secretary s of Commerce William Clarks for orderly marketing agreehad not ments on copper world-wid- e been embraced by the president. solution, However, the long-terhe said, lies in copper management and unions becoming more efficient and more productive.

S. copper industry until it could restructure and provide a bridge till the time excess inventories are worked off and a profitable price level is restored, Sen. Hatch told The Tribune in an interview. The senator said he disagreed with President Reagan's rejection last City-base- matters. Sen. Hatch said while he could not predict the Presidents action, he hoped the President would accept ITC findings on damage by import steel to the U. S. steel industry. The political stability of producer nations is not involved in the steel problem. The American steel industry, he said, has been victim of dumping of steel by foreign producers for years. He criticized Utah AFL-CIpresident Eddie P. M2yne for suggesting the President would accept the ITC findings on steel as politically expedient because the numbers of laid-of- f steelworkers far exceed numbers of laid-of- f copper workers. Mr. Mayne, who represents the interests of labor, ought to be disappointed if the President does not accept the ITC recommendations on steel. He also criticized Mr. Mayne for saying that the presidents rejection of the ITC recommendations on copper had been an accomodation to big American banks which have loans ai stake with Third World copper producing countries.
