Press Comment on the Strike

CToWnsend to Detroit Times.)
My attention mas just been called
to an editorial i'm The Times, the date

20 believe that YOU have been entirely
misinformed as 10 my position in ref
presented 10 the Senate BY senator
MARITIME in referencr To the Calumet
strike.
The facts are these. and no record
OF anything different can he shown
anywhere: one morning as ! was en-
tering the Senate. the clerk was read
ing something from the desk, and /
heard the word Calumet used. | inn
mcdiatcly sent for the article and
found that series of resolutions pur-
porting To have been adopted at a
mass meeting not of miners, but of
citizens of Calumet, had been sent to
Senator MARITIME. There was no date
To the resolution. no date as To when
the alleged meeting was held and they
we're addressed To- no one. They were
signd by gentleman whom nobody
knew. 1hcS, resolutions attacked the
governor and demanded that immedi-
qtely congressional investigation
should be held. ! arose and stated
that the resolution seemed to he ir-
responsible. and | thought we ought 10
have further information in reference
to the matter before we east any AS
pensions upon the governor of our
state or upon the state itself Senator
MARITIME agreed with me evidently, for
he Immediately withdrew the resolu-
tons.
do not believe that anybody is
more in favor of fair treatment for
The laboring men in Michigan and
elsewhere, than | am. Circumstances
have since shown. however. that the
man who wrote ana mailed these res
olutions was not from Michigan, and
have not been able to find that any
such resolutions were adopted. Do YOU
think that | am subject To the criti-
cism which your editorial made?

the governor, through Judge Murphy
and Others is trying To find out what
the real situation at Calumet is, and
il injustice has been done or is being
done the miners, that fact will be
brought To light.
You understand, of course that
there has been no request from any
senator that an investigation by Con-
press be had of the strike situation
