Chilean Copper Output.— Chilean copper production from January 1 to November 30 totalled 401,191 metric tons against 373,009 in the same period of 1955. Anaconda’s offer of pay rises and benefits has been rejected and a strike among Chuquicamata works seems probable before the year ends, according to the Australian Financial Review.”
