OPERATORS AND MINERS
 ARE STILL DETERMINED

The second week of the strike ended yesterday with the situation practically uhehanged except in the temporary agreement reached between the miners and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company. It was rumored on the streets that other companies would follow the policy of the Alabama Consolidated company but such expectations were not realized.
 At the offices of the large companies it was positively stated that they had not signed the scale asked by the miners, and at present had no intention of do- ing so
 So far as can be learned the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, the sloss-shenleld and other companies are as determined not to sign the last years scale as they were at the beginning of the strike.
 President Maben of the sloss- Sheffield company said yesterday that the agree ment reached with the Alabama consoll-

FIFTH AYE. DOGS
 CHASE GROWN MAN
c. H. HICKS CLEARS FENCE JUST IN TIME TO ESCAPE BITE OF BULL DoG-THE CANNES MUST VACATE.

c. H. Hicks, stereotyper for the Age Herald, had a narrow escape early yes terday morning from the pack of dogs which frequent Fifth avenue. But for a friendly fence he would have had a free for-all fight with about half a dozen of them, headed by a bull dog
 Mr. Hicks was coming down Fifth ave nue on his way to work when he was attacked by this pack of dogs. He was unarmed and unable to resist them sue cessfully. He backed towards the fence and was able to reach it before the dogs reached him. As he cleared the fence the bull dog made a jump at him and mar rowly missed catching his foot.
 This Is the bunch of dogs which have been worrying residents of Fifth avenue for some time past, and about which a kick has been made to Mayor Drennen. Several other people have been worried by the dogs when going to and from home at night
 The dogs have proven themselves troublesome in many other ways, and the people along Fifth avenue from Nine teenth street to Twenty-fourth street, are determined to clean them out

 In the meantime there Is much speeula- ton among the miners. as well as the operators. as to whether an attempt VIII be made this week to open up any of the mines and invite the miners to return to work without scale being signed. In other words to operate without regard to the union.
 officers of the furnace companies would not discuss the situation yesterday but they admitted that If the strike was not settled soon the mines would have to be opened anyway. These officials Insist that they can not afford to pay the scale de- manded by the miners and they will not agree to a temporary contract at last years prices.
 At the miners headquarters the of hcials were taking things quietly. They say they can do nothing now but await developments. As MT. Fairley said recent ly, We have spoken and 1t Is now up to the operators"

When Judge Graham was appointed

ESTIMATE OF WARMERS FRIENDS WHO KNOW
HIM BEST.

Some idea of the character of man
may be obtained from the estimate in
which his neighbors hold him. The
| Republican candidate for governor
| Fred NJ. Warner, has always received
the highest testimonials from those
who know him best whenever he has
come before them. Here is part of
his record in his home county, that part
which bears the test of the verdict of
the ballot box.
Fred NJ. Warner was elected trustee
of his home village of Pennington
without opposition in 1890. He was
reelected trustee in 1892 without OPP
position.
Fred NJ. Warner was elected presi-
dent of his home village of Pennington
without opposition in 1891. lie was re-
elected in 1895, receiving 66 of the 81
votes cast. He was reelected in 1896
and 1897 without opposition. Again
in 1900 he was reelected president re-
ceiving so of the 12l votes cast, and
was reelected in 1901 and 1902 without
opposition.
Fred NJ. Warner was elected state
senator in 1895 receiving a plurality of
2,095 votes in a district previously CLASH
fled as Democratic He was re elected
state senator in 1896, receiving plural
ity OF 1888 votes.
Fred Nj. Warner was elected secretary
of state in 1900 by plurality of los, 800.
In that year Oakland comfy gave him
plurality of 1865, and and the village
of Pennington a plurality of $50. He
was reelected secretary of state in 1902
by plurality of 20, 228, Oakland county
giving him a plurality of 1893 and
Pennington plurality Of 1863. He was
never defeated at the polls.
And here is the home record of w.
n. Ferris, Democratic candidate.
When Woodbridge n. Ferris was a
candidate for supervisor of the First
ward in his home town of Big Rapids,
he was defeated by 50 votes.
When Woodbridge N. Ferris was a
candidate for mayor of Big Rapids,
running against ID. w. Stewart, Repub-
lican, he was defeated by plurality of
1921.
Woodbridge n. Ferris was a capdi-
date for congress against John Avery
in 1892 He was defeated by 1921
plurality. He lost his home county of
Mecosta by IL votes.
Woodbridge n. Ferris was a candi-
date for superintendent of public in
struction in 1902, being opposed by a
plurality of 1851. His home county
of Mecosta voted against him by a
plurality of $40.
He has never been successful at the
polls.

tom" Moore is the Republican NOM
inee for sheriff. He is plain tom"
Moore to all his friends, and he would
rather the boys would call him that
than anything more dignifed. There
are no frills about him. He couldn't
put on airs if the opportunity should
present itself. He is making a whirl-
wind of campaign as he lisa fine mix
er, and mighty approachable to all.
Every Republican in st. Clair county,
too, feels that "Tom" Moore is his can
didate for sheriff He will poll the full
county strength and will be elected by
a handsome majority. He ought to be,
too. There is no man in st. Clair Co.
who gives himself up to the unselfsh
boosting of others more than does the
Republican nominee for sheriff. He
has always been sturdy Republican
and hard worker in the Republican
ranks, and yet members of all parties
and of every creed have felt that they
could approach him for personal fav-
or and have it granted. Although the
granting of these favors and his work
for the party have not been with the
thought of casting bread upon the
waters, yet there will be a tidal wave of
votes washed up for him this fall that
will land him high and dry in the
shrievalty office. He will administer
the office with the utmost economy for
the taxpayers of the county.

there is very quiet condition among
the voters, the masses taking but little
interest in political matters and meet

that they are quite well satisfied with
