peace-
and to point out to him the disastrous con-
sequences of a strike. He tried to impress
his views before the organizers favoring a
strike could plant theirs.

There was no trouble last night among
the woodsmen who arrived from the north.
They were inclined to be ugly upon their
arrival because of what they termed the
double-dealing of the company in not haV-

they said they had been promised before
leaving the woods. mass meeting OF the
woodsmen was held In Barnes Hall, and
Mayor PIummer addressed them. He urged
the men to be calm and face the situation
in the best manner possible since it was
unavoidable.
He urged the men to take the employ
ment offered them in other camps, leaving
their time-checks with responsible parties
to collect the money when payment was
made and forward it to those to whom 1t is
due He also told the men that the COM
pany would provide food and shelter for
these who needed it, and as result a large
number of them slept in the car barns last
night. They were fed at the various res
taurants, and although feeling sore over
the entire transaction, seem inclined to lie

terly session last Monday morning at the
headquarters of the federation in this city,
adjourned yesterday afternoon shortly be-

much-discussed Miller controversy This
action was predicted in The Star of yes

tically the same state as when 1t came be-
fore the council officially last Wednesday.
The action of the council in placing the
entire subject in the hands of subcom-
mittee was a great disappointment to a
large number OF the local labor leaders as
1t was thought the action of Local Book

Miller from membership was entitled to the
Endorsement OF the federation.
That 1t was regarded as unwise for the
federation to take any radical action at
