Governor Ayers Urges Roosevelts to Keep High Silver Price
Montana governor Ray A. Ayers urged President Roosevelt to extend the plan paying 77.57 cents per ounce for newly mined domestic silver. He warned that without a new order, some 3,400 Montanans in western mining could lose work as world silver prices fall toward about 45 cents per ounce. The policy stems from a London Agreement expiring year end, covering 1934 to 1938 and involving Australia, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Spain, the United States and others.
