CALUMET TRAGEDY MAY END TURMOIL
 IN COPPER SECTION

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 26.-Whi1e four separate investigation of Calumet's Christmas tree disa in which 72 persons most of them children. were killed, were being made today and a | dispute was being waged as to who should bury the dead, peaeenakerE were at work in a, supreme effort to bring about an end to the copper
 mine strike in this region.
 United in their srTef over the de- struction of so many young lives, the warning factions-mine operators guards and strike breakers and the stricken union miners and their fam ilies-gave no thought to the big labor battle that indirectly is blamed for the most grueeome horror in the his tory of Calumet. There was still a dispute over whether the offer of the Citizens Alliance, an organization that has carried hostilities to the strikers, to defray all the burial ex- penses would be permitted.
 Officials of the Western Feeder ation of Miners declared that the oner would be spurned.
 'fWe will care for our own dead,'' was the response to the. Alliance.
 The; feeling of hostility was not so marked today when it was seen that the citizens of Calumet and, other cit- ies in the mine district were in earnest in their efforts to raise funds for the stricken families. Almost unlimited amounts of money were pledged by mine owners and merchants who have been opposing the strikers. q The com 1nittees resenting the, operators went from house to house today com forting the surviving mem bers, of fam lilies whose dear ones were taken from them in the unnecessary panic.
 Following these eomnaitteesg went others and suggestions that peace be declared between the forces represent ing capital and labor were made.
 The request to President Wilson by Charles H. Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners for a federal investigation of circumstances surrounding the fire horror at Calu- met, Mich, was forwarded today to the President at Pass Christian, Miss, by Secretary Tunulty.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson today ordered John B. Densm ore, solicitor of the department, to Calumet, Mich, to render any assistance possible in settling the copper strike situation.
 The Christmas eve tragedy, in which 21 lives were lost, the secretary said he thought was a matter for state i'm vestigation.
