THE MICHIGAN COPPER STRIKE

The great copper strike in Michigan is still unsettled and
has cost the operators and miners untold sums of money besides
its inevitable toll of human lives. 1t is generally understood that
the original cause of the trouble might have been settled in a
day had the mine owners merely consented to meet the miners
and had a free conference on lines of common equity between
man and man. This they refused to do and with the most disas-
ferrous results.
The United Mine Workers Journal, published at Indian
apdis, gives the following horrible picture of the state of af-
fairs following the strike:
''The copper barons absolutely control most of the houses
and stores that the miners live in and deal with. The mines are
absolutely tied up, and out Of $4,000 striking miners there are
less than 1000 at work in the entire district. Most OF those at
work are the scum of the larger cities, such as New York,
Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, who have been raked up by
the strike breaking agencies in those cities and shipped direct
" to the mines under armed guards. The district is absolutely
overrun with the worst degenerate type of gunner and the
militia. Men have been murdered in cold blood for simply
marching with the strikers. Women and young girls have been
outraged by the soldiers and gunner, and one woman espec-
tally, a Lithuanian miners wife, was dragged into the woods
by three drunken soldiers, in the presence of her husband, and
the husband himself almost beaten to death. Another foreign
speaking miner was killed in his own house, sitting at supper
with his family, by one Of these gunner, and the miner was
partially avenged by selzing the gun from the gunman while
he was actually dying and sending a bullet through this degen.
crate brain. A baby in It's mothers arms had its face powder
burned by the fire from the gun of this armed guard. No
where in the United States, not even in West Virginia, have the
mine owners, with their hireling courts and soldiers and i'm |
ported murdsrers, gone to greater lengths to defeat the just
demands of the workers"
