Deportations Follow Confidence.
Calumet. Mich, Dec. 27.-Charles H.
Meyer. president Of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, was put on a train and
sent out Of the copper district last
night. The deportation was the direct
result Of refusal Of families stricken by
the Christmas eve disaster here to ac-
cept relief from a committee, the ma
jorfty Of whose members belonged to
the citizens alliance an organization
combating the five months strike Of
the federation.
At the meeting Of the relief committee
1t was stated that the federation had
forbidden its members to accept any
portion Of the $4,000 raised for relief
Of the panic victims. A section of the
committee thereupon was delegated to
confer with President Meyer Of the
federation.
They arranged meeting at Hancock
at which the citizens told Mr.. Meyer
that his action was against the welfare
Of humanity, declaring 1t absurd that
the cry Of fire which started the pan
ic, causing the deaths of seventy two
persons was raised by member Of the
alliance. The union leader it was said
to the committee.
No Force Used.
Meyer, 1t was said, refused to make
retraction satisfactory to the commit
tee and short time later he and John
Tanner, of California, an organizer for
the organization, were observed on a
street car going from Hancock to
Houghton.
Just across the bridge connecting
the two towns and distant about 400
feet from the structure, is the depot Of
the Copper Range Railroad. There 1t
was noticed that Meyer and his COM
panion boarded a train for Chicago.
They were accompanied by three men
who seemed to be guarding them, altho
there was no visible demonstration Of
force or coercion.
Meyers departure leaves the strikers
with only local men at the head Of their
affairs. In the early stages Of the strike
c. E. Mahoney, vice president Of the
federation and Guy Miller, Yanco Ter
zich and John c. Lowney, members Of
the executive committee were on tho
ground. Meyer Joined them after his
return from an International labor con-
ference in Europe and has been in ac-
tual control Of the situation for several
weeks.
Departure Unexpected.
The other executive officers Of the
federation left the territory about q
fortnight ago. going to various places
on union business. Mahoney went to
Washington to plead for a congression-
