MICHIGAN INTERESTS
Investigated and Reported
Upon by William Carney.

The savage and unjust charges made
against Mr.. Hanna In 1895, by his political
enemies, led to an Investigation by men
Interested In the welfare of the working.
was William Carney, of Pittsburg, vice
president of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers, and ex-vice
president of the American Federation of
Labor. Mr.. Carney, assisted by Horace J.
Stevens, labor representative at Ishpem-
ing, Mich, made q thorough investigation
as to Mr.. Hanna's ore mine In the Mich
igan district. His report, made on Oct. II,
1896, was a complete vindication of Mr..
Hanna. 1t has been repeatedly published,
and Is familiar to the reading public, espe-
cially among the mines. A brief summary
of Mr.. Carney's statement, however, Is <ap-
propriate In this connection:
The winthrop Mine.
NJ. A. Hanna & Co. bought a controlling
interest In this mine In 1890 The mine
was then known as 1.-The Mantrap," on
account of the danger to life and limb.
Under the present ownership 1t has been
made one of the safest mines In the dis
trict.
A ground rent of $50 per month had been,
prior to that time, charged the miners,
who had built houses for themselves. BY
Mr.. Hanna's direction this rent was at
once remitted and since then the men have
had their land absolutely free-the plots
ranging from one to four acres each. Mr..
Hanna believes 1t makes a better citizen
of man to own his own home, and there
fore gave his men this concession.
There have been but two strikes In the
district. She first was In 1890 on Ques-
tion of hours At the Winthrop mine the
difference was quickly adjusted at con.
ference between the company and miners
and the men returned to work In q few
hours. The men at the other mines In the
district were out three weeks before q
settlement was effected. The result was
reached at the Hanna mlne In Q day, and
without the intercession Of outside par.
ties
The second strike In the district began
July ~, l0oa. and lasted nvs weeks. It
was on question lof wages. The minsrs

CHARGE THAT HE IS THE ENEMY
Of Labor Denounced and Disproved
! by Men Who Know and
Work For Him.

The unscrupulous and unwarranted at.
tacks that were made upon Mark A. Han
ma, during the presidential campaign of
last year, are being repeated this year in
Ohio. with even less regard for truth and
decency. The purpose last year was, If
possible, to keep the aboring men of the
country from voting for Mckinley for pres
ident. The object this year is, If possible,
to defeat Mr.. Hanna for United States sen.
ator from Ohio, and thus place that branch
of congress again In control Of the Demo-
cratic party. Last year Mr. Hanna was
urged by his friends to deny the charges
but he answered that he was not candi-
date before the people and had not time
to devote to the false and malicious at
tacks (which were being made upon him;
though every charge was met and refuted
by laboring men who knew them to be
false This year he is a candidate, and
1t is fitting that the people know the truth
regarding him
As an Employer of Labor.
Mr.. Hanna Is now, and has been for
years, one of the largest employers of Ia
Dor In Ohio. It is estimated that during
his business career he has had In his en-
poy over 10000 men, representing almost
every class of workingmen. Yet 1t is a
signlfcent fact that the history of the
whole country furnishes few examples Of
employers who have had so few strikes
among their employees, or SO little trouble
with their men. In proportion to the mum.
ber employed.
The various enterprises In which Mr.
Hanna Is now interested give employment
to 4,SO0 men, and the payrolls Of the sew.
eral companies aggregate $243 S66 per
month, or nearly $4,000, 900 per year, and an
average Of over $50 per month for each
employe. without taking into account hol.

note enclosed In a sealed envelope 10
