Copper Miners
Strike |
Fifteen Thousand Men
Out of Employment

CALUMET, Mich. July % --Fifteer I
thousand copper miners in the Lake
Superior region were thrown out oi
work when the underground workers
in the mines went out on their long
/ expected strike for recognition of their
union. early this morning. Nearly all
the mines are closed.
Only about 5000 of the number at
feeted are on strike. but the interests
find it impossible to operate without
the striking hands.
No DISORDER REPORTED.
The men demand recognition af the
Western Federation of Miners, an
eight-hour day. abolition Of the one
man drill and better working condit-
ions.
No disorder is reported anywhere in
the district. Mining companies seem
determined to treat with the federst-
ion and are prepared for a prolonged
period of idleness. Recognition of the
union. it. is understood, is the principal
issue.
MANY MINES CRIPPLED.
Mines shut down are; Calumet &
Hecla, Tamarack, OsceOla. Wolverine.
Centennial, Mohawk, Abmeek, Tri-
mountain, Champion. Baltic, Quincy,
Isle, Royale, Superior, La Sale and va
rious development properties.
Calumet branch, conglomerate lode,
comprising four shafts of the Calumet
and Hecla mine, reported working and
efforts are being made to reopen Hecla
branch. Stopping of work on the con-
glomerat shafts which are over mile
deep, might mean serious damage to
the mines.
The Tri-Mountain and Houghton
mines also were affected. but the Han
cock and Franklin mines were still
operating today. The Calumet & Hec-
la company controls the Osceola, Tama
rack, Ahmeek, Isle Royale, Superi Or
AMI La Sale SHIFTS.
The Western Federation Of Miners
has endeavored to gam footh)Id in
the district and has aroused opposition
which the companies assert will not be
withdrawn Managements of the vari-
Gus properties were practically unani-
nous today that under no circumstan-
ces would they treat with the fedora
ton.
The smelters are running as usual,
the managers claiming that they have
enough stock on hand to lasc tive
months The orecarrying roads are idl .

TO HELP BULL MOOSERS.

~ HELP BULL MOOSERS.
1t is probable that some law will be
enacted TO carry out the Republican
platform pledge to make easier the or.
ganization of new parties. A bill upon
this subject is still pending in the Sc.
rate and the Axel johnson bill has
been recalled from the assembly follow
inR the message of the governor insist.
iag that that bill be passed. The John.
son bill Is considered the most favor
able to the Ball Moose party. At the
tine this bill was killed in the senate

came known thai the attorney general
had giyea the seare.ary of the Bull
Nj oose club an opinion that because of
another provision in th law, partly in
consistent with the section amended by
the Johnsn bill the B III Moosers would
have to run as indepen 1ents. This
brought forth the caustic message of
MeGovern in regard to the Republican
party pledge. The Republicans in the
senate, since the opinion by the attor-
ney general agree that a law that will
permit the Bull Moosers a party ticket
if they so desire should BE- enacted.
SEMI-ANNUAL TAX VETOED.
The bill which would have permitted
tax payers to pay their taxes semi-an-
nually if they so wished instead of an
nually was vetoed.
SEED INSPECTION.
The seed inspection law has been ma
terially strengthened at this session
The enforcement IS placed with the a.
gricultural experiment station. Parti-
cular stress is laid upon the presence
of n-x'o1s weej seed. and especially to
false nfaad labelling OF seeds such as
southern grown and representing
seeds to be of great value when they
are OF low va ue.
FIRE INSURANCE LEGISLATION.
The senate this week passed three
important fire insurance bills, One bill
relates 70 the blanks and forms used in
n,akiag survey Of The premises for fix
ing rates Another provides thst the
commissioner Il insurance snail receive
reports and inspect the wo1k OF every
fire inspection bureau The other pro-
vides for cooperation and agreements
under the supervision Of the commis-
sioner Of insurance. to reduce expenses
AMI losses in fire insurance.
These bills are three Of the four
parts into which the big bill recon-
mendei by the special recess commit
tee was divided after its defeat in the
assembly, due to the adherents Of the
governor, because of the Ekern McGo-
vern fight joining and with the re-
actiouaries. The bills are calculated to
materially reduce the fire losses and
fire insurance rates which are in many
cases higher tran in other states. The
movement is substantially the same in
the field of fire insurance that the rail
road and public utilities laws were IN
the field of public utilities.

The. legislature has passed bill Civ
ing the state board of health authori ty
to establish bureaus of vital statistics

tuberculosis and contagious diseases,
and public information and education.
The bill also provides for dividing the
state into five sanitary districts and
for the appointment of five deputy
state health officers the district depu-
ties will have supervision over tf To-
cal health officers and work in con-
junction with them. The bill is said
by the medical men TO be great pre-

blic health legislation
Madison Wis. Special The coopera-
tive bill offered by the senate commit
tee on state affairs and backed by the
LaFollette progressives goes as far as
| is considered practicable at this ii ne
The progressiyes had hoped that the le-
glslature would have taken recess un-
til January so that more compreher-
sive statute could have been worked
out. The reputation of Wisconin's pro
gressive laws is due to the fact that
they have been worked out before en-
actment and have needed little amend
ment and no repeal.
ASSISTANCE TO COOPERATIVE
SOCIETIES.
The new bill provides that the ind
ustrial commission shall maintain u
market news service, including infor-
nation as to crops. freigth rates, com
mission rates, and such other matters
as may be Of service to producers, con-
sumers, and dealers and that the COM

shall aid in whatever other way may
be necessary or convenient to accom-
pllsh a reduction in the cost and waste

July 19, 1913 Secretary Bryan keeps
on explaining why he goes or the LEG
ture platform instead of attending to
the important business of the State De
partment now demanAing his attention
particularly the Mexican situation and
the negotiations with Japan and for
the renewal Of lapsed arbitration trea-
ties. One explanation is that he can t
live on the salary of $4,000 year
which he draws as Secretary of State
Another is that, anyway, be Is entitled
TO VACATION and, if he chooses to PIT

bu mess. Another IS that his lecture
trips afford hIm an opp r,unity t.
meet the people and to discuss public
questions before them In one explana-
ton, be said that for the last seven
teen years he rad saved more than
$4,000 a year so that, by his own ex-
planation. what he has saved now a.
mounts to considerably more than
$500. e0J
Some OF these explanations led Mr.
Bsistow to offer q resolution IN the Sc
nate soIemnly reqU asting the President
to advise the Senate what salary. in
his judgment. was necessary to enable
Secmtary Of State to remain on the Job
in Washington. Senst1r Kern, who was
Mr. Bry ans running mate.at the time
Of his last defeat for the presidency,
promptly came to the rescue with an
objecti-n n which cut off debate for the
time being but, befor it is over, the re-
solution will be pretty tn roughly dis
cussed.
Meanti ne, the real explanation IS
thas Mr. Bryan wants the money and
can get it in this way.

DO BIG BUSINESS.
Sales of Butter Outside of State of
Iowa Greatly Exceed Home
Consumption.

Close to nine times as much Iowa
creamery butter was sold outside of
the state as was sold within the state
for the year 1912 according to the
annual report of w. B. Barney, state
dairy and food commissioner. The
figures given in Mr.. Barnes report
were obtained from the creameries by
him and probably do not represent a
full years output.
MIR. Barney's report shows the fol-
lowing:
Pounds
Butter manufactured 80. 81, 1888
Butter sold outside state. rs, 043, S44
Butter sold in Iowa. -. 9,051, 1858
Butter sold to patrons. -. 3,643,171
The 504 creameries making re-
ports received the following amounts
of milk and cream:
Pounds of milk received 307,714,1 1872
Pounds cream received 269, 076,975
Ten counties in the state either
have no creameries or the creameries
in those counties failed to report. The
counties not represented are Appa-
moose, Clarke, Henry, Johnson, Lucas,
Madison, Montgomery, Ringgold, Van
Buren, and Warren.
The big butter counties of the
state and their reported productions
are, in pounds:
Woodbury. county ...... 1889
Fayette county 3,S7O,71
Polk county J, Z ,O92
Bremen county 1893, 27S
Dubuque county -. 1898, 473
Woodbury. county's lead is due to
the fact that there are several large
creameries at Sioux City. Bremen
county is the best butter producing
county in the state, according to Mr..
Barney. In his report he says this
concerning the best county:
THE best Iowa county produces
|7,545 pounds of creamery butter per
square mile. If the entire state pro-
duce an equal amount on each
square mile Iowa would yield annual
lily 41S,55S,S75 pounds of butter
worth $125,567, 622.50."
There are close to one hundred
thousand hand cream separators in
use in Iowa, according to the cream
cry reports. The total number CIV
en- was 97,041. The creameries re-
ported that they had 1925 pat
rons and that these patrons kept
S34,295 cows, or an average of about
eight cows to the patron.
