Union Men Declare Com

Mean Great Violence

CALUMET Mich, Aug. 2.-Further
union appeals to Governor Ferris for
personal investigation of the copper
miners strike were made today and
were followed tonight by an intima ton
that steps might be taken to procure a
congressional investigation of the in
dustrial situation.
The union officials said they could
make a prima facie showing at least
equal to that of the United Mine Work
ers, which resulted in the senatorial
hearing in West Virginia The West
ern Federation of Miners will make no
such move, unless the continued efforts
of Governor Ferris fail to effect set
tlement
The unions claimed tonight that the
mining companies were organizing a
veritable army of guards to take the
place of the state troops. Such action,
1t was claimed, could result only in a
reign OF terror.
COMPANIES MAKE DENIAL
The companies, on the other hand re-
peated their assertions that outsiders
have not been brought into the district
and that the only armed men about the
mines after the troops leave will be
sheriff's deputies, duly sworn and COM
missioned.
Cases of intimidation were reported
from several mine locations today
Mrs. Mary Rees, whose boarding
house near No. IA shaft OF the Calumet
and Hecla has been patronized by nom
union workmen. found a missive posted
on her door threatening her with vio-
lence unless she desiSted from feeding
the nonunion men. Another letter
reached mine foreman and intimated
that he was marked man.
Threats reached the residents of the
Tamarack location in such numbers
that the patrol forces there were in
creased tonight.
PROSECUTOR is ALERT
A few additional arrests of alleged
rioters were made on civil warrants
today, but Anthony Lucas, prosecuting
attorney, plans to rid the county jail
of its increased population as rapidly
as possible.
He has found that many of the war
rants have been issued on insufficient
evidence and that charges of felony
have been made in misdemeanor cases
Each Justice of the peace was accord
tngly advised not to receive formal
complaints or issue warrants until the
prosecutor had a chance to investigate
the cases. The prosecutor has score
Of cases to prepare within the next 10
days. and he probably will call upon

prosecutors to assist him.
