Mr.. Folk. 1T greastest evil is graft.
Thelnecessity Of great service first is

THE HIBDING STRIKE.
Things Somewhat Quiet in the
Hibbing District.

Nothing of great Importance has
developed in the strike situation at
Hibbing this week. When we say
nothing of great Importance, we
mean, clashes of the men, shooting,
etc. The Oliver company have clos
ed all their underground properties
and it is said will keep them closed
for some time. Only a few of the
open pits are working and it is esti-
mated that between 1900 and 1900
men are idle with slim chances of
securing work The strike has been
hard blow to the Hibhing business
interests from which it will take
time to recover. Ely business had a
taste of this year ago.
