Iron Range Workers Offer to
Care for Children of Strik-

INQUEST INTO PAINESDALE
SHOOTING is OPENED
Sheriff Surrenders Deputies
Testimony Is Highly Contra
dictOry

CALUMET, Mich. Aug. 22.-Re
moyal of all miners children from
Calumet is the latest step ,contem
plated by the Western Federation oil
Miners, in its fight with the Michigan
copper operators. 1t is planned &c
take the little ones 10 the iron range
district, where they will be cared for
in the homes of union sympathizers
until the copper strike is settled.
A canvass OF the homes OF all min
ers now on strike is being made, with
the intention OF ascertaining their do.
lneStic condition, the number OF chill
dren they have, and the number they
would be willing TO send away. Union
leaders who recently visited the iron
range declare that miners there are
ready to provide temporary homes for
1000 Copper country youngsters
In addition to the proposed exodus
of children from the copper country,
an ardent appeal for funds has been
sent to every union under the juris-
diction of the American Federation of
Labor. The circular contains accusa-
lions against the militia and depu.
ties. Posters warning union men to
keep out OF the copper country have
been sent TO the principal cities, ard
every precaution made for a long
siege.
The inquest into the deaths of Ia
Fan and Putrucn, the two strikers
killed In the Painesdale shooting, was
opened this afternoon. An important
development was the denial of Joseph
Putruch, keeper OF the boarding house
in which the men were shot, that his
wife was in the house at the time the
shooting took place. Her affidavit, in
which she swore that deputies en-
tered the house and shot while TaZan
and Putruch were seated in the din
ing room, was the basis for warrants
charging murder issued against six
deputies by Prosecutor Lucas. All
II is said that Mrs. Putruch has re-
Gently signed new affidavit repudi
ating all the statements made in the
original.
The testimony of mining company
employees tended to show that the
strikers began the battle at Paines-
dale by firing from the house, while
friends of the dead miners claim that
no shots were fired by miners. They
say that the deputies lined up In the
road and began shooting through win
dows.
Attorneys Angus Kerr and Messrs.
Legendre and Driscoll represented the
Federation at the inquest, while At
torneys w. J. Galbraith, Of Calumet,
and F. j. Wegg, of Chicago. were
present for Waddell and Sheriff
Cruze.
The four Waddell deputies wanted
in connection with the shooting, who
have been hiding in the woods of Ba-

WASHINGTON, Aug EN- the
seclusion OF his own study, and with
his own typewrlting machine before
him. President Wilson today started
pounding out by hand the tentative
draft of the message he will send to
congress upon the Mexican situation.
The presidents aversion TO debating
Is well known. He says he thinks
better" when writing directly.
His action today was interpreted as
an evidence of the care which he pro-
poses giving his latest message, In
which he contemplates an expose or
all the facts bearing on the negotia-
tions to restore peace in Mexico.
Creation of a worldwide sentiment IN
favor OF the government attitude Is
the apparent object of the presidents
action.
The message, containing as 1t VIII
copies OF the mediation proposals pre-
sented to President Huerta, together
wit hthe replies OF the latter, Will De

gress by President Wilson. IT is De-
.lieved, although no statement has
been made. that further recommends
tons regarding the course OF THIS
government will be made, and 1t -
possible that an entirely new Mexi-
can policy ma ybe promulgated. AT
this time. however. the chief pur-
pose of the message is TO get nefore
the nation and before other nations

Thaw's legal force Ia today making
a desperate effort TO pave the way for

The proposal pending at Ottawa Is
that the immigration authorities
agree to drop any contemplated &C.

from Thaw's counsel that they will
get their client out of Canada within
a stipulated period
The Thaw interests have been

Is believed part of a well organized

III an agreement can be reached at
Ottawa whereby Thaw can go wher-
ever he pleases. SO long as he leaves
Canada within stipulated time, the
proceedings here will end hurriedly.

SALE OF EGGS
BY WEIGHT IS
MICKEL'S PLAN
State Food Inspector Starts the
Campaign to Have Practice
Adopted by Dealers
FAIRER STANDARD THAN
BY COUNT, HE DECLARES
Wants Housewives to Ask for
Definite Quantities When
Buying Supplies

In connection with the enforcement
of the new weights and measures law
by the state dairy and food depart
ment, Inspector w. j. Nickel, one OF
the leaders in a special campaign
under way to stop violations of the
pure food laws in Detroit, has started
a movement for the selling OF eggs
by weight instead of count. At his
suggestion one store on Grand River
ave. has taken up the practice.
1T is more important reform
than may appear at first sight" said
Mr.. Nickel to The Times. Il believe
that dealers will be forced to adopt
the plan, which will be much more
just to housekeepers. One should not
buy eggs by the dozen any more than
potatoes. and just imagine us going
TO the store and paying good price
for a dozen little potatoes.
And by the way. since the new
law Is in effect. housewives should
have their potatoes weighed--not
measured. The other day | was In
place and asked the man how he sold
them. He showed me his peck meas
ure and when put TO test the potatoes
in it weighed IL pounds. The law
now requires that 60 pounds be sold
for a bushel or 10 for a peck.
by the time this man had Is
pounds on the measure he had piled
them up as high as they would stick
on, and still had one In his hand
Another thing that housewives
should remember is always to order
a q % nf Hcfn
not go in any, / want 10 cents
worth or this or that When anyone
orders in such "A manner the man goes
TO his bin, fills up a sack by guess.
and IL is human nature 10 be sure not
to put too much in IL. But II YOU say
two pounds or some definite amount
he must give you that amount or be
liable to prosecution.

A City of Honest Advertising

1.-TWO LAWS that register the growing demand for COM
mercal integrity in Michigan went into effect
August 15
One is the law to protect the public from dishonest
advertisements the other is to protect the public from
worthless securities in the sale of which false and mislead
ing advertisements have played pernicious part
On Wednesday August 81 The Detroit Times will print
"Deroit-A Million in 1920" edition, section of which
will be devoted to these important laws including review
of The Times long campaign for honest advertising and
legitimate investments of which these measures are the
happy elimination.
Nothing could do to enable Detroit TO realize
worhly its goal of "A Million in 1920" than the rigid
of these laws to the end that Detroit buyer
shall be betrayed.

freight rates 10 maintain it's present

Through the Interstate Commerce
Law. the operations OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the var

have established firm control of rail.
road rates and shipping conditions.
But that control means more than the
purely arbitrary OF exercise Of a great
power. II carries with it responsibility.
The public cannot assume TO control

that they will not be able to provide

and 20 make the improvements rec
essary TO serve the public to the best
advantage.
The constant rise in the price of
