Hereafter the Calumet and Hecla Co.
will permit none but employees to occupy
residences and business houses on the
company's land. No more leases will be
given OF ground for employees to build on,
and as the leases previously given expire
the building on the ground will be pur-
chased by the company. The Calumet &
Heca company bears the name OF being
an exceptionally LIBERAL and humane
corporation, and at the present. time that
portion OF this peninsula Is said to be en-
Toying better times than the rest, owing
to the copper industry being but slightly
affected by the prevailing depression. In
seeking to deprive its employees of any
proprietary interest in the buildings on
company land the intention is perhaps to
have absolute power in case OF strike or
labor troubles. The more dependent are
the men employed the less likely are they
to invite trouble should there be cut in
wages.
