FIXING ROLL OF WIDOWS
AND ORPHANS AT CHERRY
Estimates Show 200 Widows and 1000
Orphans as Result of Mine Dis

aStSTs
CHERRY, IL, Nov. 15.-Just be-
fore dark officials of the miners I'M
ion began taking an official roll call
of widows and orphans. The work
was difficult because of the co.ges-
ton of the crowds and because of the
hysterical condition of the women,
some Of whom had three or four
small children tugging at their skirts.
Many, when questioned for data for
the roll call, were so incOherent in
their replies as to be unable to tell
who they were or for whom they
were searching.
Roughly estimated there are one
thousand orphans and 200 widows.
Practically all are destitute. For
each death the state miners union
will pay $3.50. This organization will
also contribute $4,000 for distribution
and the National union will give a
like amount. Whatever other help
there is probably will come from
public funds, it is said.
Almost two-thirds of the men
leave widows" said Duncan McDon-
aid, one of the United Mine Workers
of America. Each widow has from
three to five children, all less than
II years old. She has not enough
'In a month from now the dis
tress Of these families will be pitiable.
Whatever the public has to give

plan ahead to take care of these poor
peonle for the winter"

The enormous profits realized out OF
the United States Steel Corporation
organization by the stockholders in the
constituent companies in that forma-
ton was cited as precedent. Inc
leadership of the market swung INTO
the copper industrials and there was
excited speculation i'm them not only
on the stock exchange but in outside
markets. A powerful combination to
hold up the price of copper was look
ed to hopefully to bring numerous
copper properties into the range or
profitable operations.
Little Enthusiasm Manifested.
The general market was not at first
inclined to follow the movement in the
coppers with any enthusiasm. The
Gould stocks were conspicuous as a
over the Missouri Pacific financial
plan, which was reported to contem-
plate a mortgage bond with a convert
ible feature and possibly a subScrip-
ton privilege for stockholders.
The contraction of nearly $400000O0
in the loan account of the clearing
house banks last week and the small
disturbance in the stock market in
volved, point to other important
sources of relief. Reports that French
funds were placed here met with divid-
ed acceptance Attention turns to the
scaling down Of over $20,000,000 in the
deposits of non-clearing house insti-
tutions, accompanied by an actual in
crease in loans 1t is known that large
loans were placed in Wall street last
week by important private banking
houses bearing close relations with the
largest corporations.
A violent break in American sugar
was accepted as an episode connected
with the activities of the public pro-
scouting officials.
