Mayor Osborn issued q Proclamation
for all business houses to close during
the afternoon. and they very general
~ complied. Large parties ate lded
from Grand Rapids, AID ex-senator
Avery, Governor Rich and all the
State officers were also present. The
State Capitol was clos ed. The Stock
bridge Debating Society adopted ap-
propriate resolutions.
A COMMITTEE Of citizens of Iron
Mountain, headed by Mayer Crowell,
waited on Gov. Rich and laid before
him the condition of the destitute
miners Of that place. 1t was explained
that 500 families are now receiving
aid and the number is daily increas-
ing, while both city and county Treas
ur es are empty, and there is absolutely
no prospect of relief in the way of the
resumption of operations at the mines.
Should the present conditions continue
through the summer and winter, and
it was claimed there is no reason for
believing that they will not. fully
$100,OJO will be required to meet the
needs of the people. Gov. Rich ex-
planned that under the constitution
the Legislature, even IL convened in
extra es.ion at vast expense, could
appropriate only $4,000, and as other
sections would doubtless ask for aid IL
money was to be appropriated the
amount apportioned to the mining
regions would not be of material aid.
AT the suggestion of the Governor the
delegation went to Detroit to consult
with the Citizens Relief Committee,
appointed by him last winter, and with
whom he had agreed not to call an ex-
ira legislative session until such COM
Inittee had declared its inability to
meet all demands.
