The document discusses the situation in the Tri-state mining district, where mines shut down after the OPA subsidies were cut off. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation could pay these subsidies, but the government has not authorized them to do so. The document also mentions the history of tariffs on lead and zinc, which are now largely outmoded. The writer defends his vote against OPA and argues that subsidies should be cut off, as they are paid out of borrowed money from the people.
