The Ishpeming correspondent Of tho
Marquette Mining Journal says:
The meeting of the strikers at Ishpem-
ing Monday was long one and It i said
the discussion of the wage scale SUBJ
mtted to the men last Saturday was
quite spirited. While 1t Is generally
conceded that many Of the men favored
a resumption of work, the majority of
those present were opposed to accepting
the wage scale proposed by the COM
panies. The business men and others
about the city anxiously awaited the re-
turn of the men from the meeting and
soon after their arrival the report
that the scale was rejected was given
out. The news was not heartily re-
ceived to say the least.a 1t was generally
hoped the strikers would agree to an ac-
ceptance of the schedule and go back TO
work Many of the strikers still appear
very firm in their determination to stand
out. One of the men said that it is not
generally believed by the men that the
companies had any Idea OF stopping the
pumps. They still regard that as a
bluff on the part of the mine man
ayers. Some of the strikers said that
the companies would have no trouble
getting men to assist In raising the
pumps II they only say the word. Great
disappointment was manifested by the
| merchants, as we'll as others not directly
interested, when it was learned that the
scale was rejected and that the men had
| decided to con sinue the strike. Now
| that the men have taken such deter
mined stand there is no telling when the
| trouble will end. Monday evening the
| fires under the boilers which generate
power to drive the pumps at the Cleve-
land-Cliffs Lake Shaft mine, and also at
the Lake Angeline and Salisbury mines.
were allowed to die out and the pumps
at these mines are now idle The work
ings will be allowe TO fill with water
and the managers declare that 1t will be
many months before the mines will again
be wrought. The mining companies
appear to have meant what they said
when they announced that unless the
men decided to return to work at their
meeting Monday the mines would be
allowed to fill with water and all work
would be topped for an indefinite time.
