government.
"It is well known fact that some days
,since bids OF liz cents were made by re-
-sponsble parties for 1900 tons ingots
Tor shipment to France and were turned
down.
"ItIs believed that these sales we're
made by the Calumet people, as all the
other large producing companies, includ-
ing the BIgelow-L ewisohn interests, are
sold up months ahead,
Copper men are very reticent in regard
20 this reported sale. but very generally
admit the fact, although claiming ignor-
ance in regard To de; ails.
PARTIES in a position to know confirm
the reports OF heavy sales of copper for

sentatives OF the French government and
other foreign consumers recently asked
the Calumet and Hecla for price on 40
100000 pounds or 10000 tons. The
Calumet people named liz cents as thei'
lowest figure. Thereupon the French
men bid III cents, which offer wai

A Finnish Workmen'S
League Are at Sec
ton Sixteen.
Is Their First Annual Outing.


The first annual convention OF the Fin
nish Workmen's League OF America j
hol ling it's meetings in the Odd Fellows
hall in the Wills building. The first ses
sion OF the convention was held yester
day when the delegates met and organ
IL d. The credentials OF the different del
egates were examined and approved, but
il was afternoon before the meeting got
down to business. Then il took most ol
the time to appoint committees TO report
on the various questions that are to
come up later for action and no business
of Importance has, as yet, be transacted.
The next meeting will be held tomor-
row when officers will be elected and all
matters OF Importance will come up for
discussion.
The League is the outgrowth oil the
Suomi" society which was organized
among the Finnish people of this city
two years ago. The suomi" society at
once became popular organization and
its membership increased rapidly from
the start until now the local society num-
bers into thu hundreds. The Firms in
other towns heard of the good work the
organization was doing and got together
in a similar manner and soon societies
we're formed at Ironwood, Holm City,
MINI, and Biwabic, Mimi.
Up 70 this time these societies were all
virtually distinct organizations with no
real head although the society here was
recognized as the leader because of its
unusually large membership and the fact
thot il was the first society organized.
At the convention now being held dele
gates are in attendance from the four So
cieties, either by representatives or prox-
les and a permanent grand lodge has
been formed and officers will be elect ed
20 control the new superior organization.
The idea is to spread out the order to
cover more territory, in fact a movement
will be made TO establish lodge in every
town in America where Finnish-speaking
people reside. The order which has al
ways been beneficiary one to certain
degree will now be run on the same plan
as all other benefit societies and the by
laws Will be made broader SO az to allow
OF this.
Today the society ia picncng at Sec
ton 10 where music is in attendance and
all are enjoying themselves.
