PAINTERS UNION
MAKES BIG GAINS
Delegate Jensen Returns from

THE MELTING POT.
BY CLARK ADAMS.

I went to a Scottish banquet, and the
men in kits were there.
Bridging the width Of ocean with
many g. Scottish air.
The old bagpipes were shrieking and
wheeMng at a tune,
And the bonnie heather bloomed
again beside the Riven Doom.
They clamored for their haggis, and
danced the Highland fling,
And in the end sang Aud Lang Syne.

But all that has subsided-what sti1l

Is the cheer they gave when they got
around to our own United States.
I Toasted with the Germans, each fell
low with his stein,
And every now and then we sang The
Watch Upon the Rhine.
The pretty miss was frauletn, and the
mammakins was frau,
And the dinner was as foreign as ever
a body saw.
The Maennerchor was present, and
the little German Band,
And the roof cracked every now and
then for the dear old Fatherland;
But that was not circumstance
what broke eight dozen plates
Was the cheer they gave when some
one named our own United

on the wall,
And fifty pounds of shamrock slips
were hung around the hall.
We sighed for Lake Killarney and the
beauty Of the glynn,
And sang the songs of Ireland with
" q good old-fashioned din.
The lid was off for Erin, and many a
lusty roar 81.
Bent the walls when her orators got
going on the floor;
And that, too, has subsided-but the
air still palpitates
With the cheer they gave when they
drank toast for our own United
States.
Our own United states, find, Is the
daddy Of them all,
And it always carries off the cake in
any banquet hall.

everybody's taste,

Owners of Calumet and Hecla
Properties Draw 10000 Per
Cent on Original Investment. :

The strike of the copper miners is
far from settled. It is now begin:
ming to dawn upon the people that
the miners have q grievance, and the
way they are sticking is, a marvel.
Every investigation Of conditions in
the copper country puts the mine
owners in bad. The revelations of
their immense profits is hardly be-
lieveable. :. 49,.
Here is a brief sketch Of as greedy
band OF men as ever organized for
business anywhere under the shin
ing sun. The widest apologist would
hardly be bold enough to defend
them. Heg Cochran, one of the best
and most reliable newspaper men In
the country, now doing special work
at Calumet, furnishes the data. This
is what he says: ~
'The Calumet & Hecla company
was organized In 1871, with q capital
stock of $2,5oo,ooo, Of which only
$1,200.000 was paid init has paid
1921, 100000 in dividends during the
past 40 years. an average Of $3,000,-
900 a year besides paying over $4o.-
100000 for equipment. including rail-
way and transportation stock, and
also investing about $25.000,0oo in
other mines and leads.
In one month in 1907. the Calu-
met & Hecla earned over $1,5OO,00o
or 100000 more than the original
investment. It has paid in dividends
100 times the original investment, or
10000 per cent, which is $50 per cent
year since it's organization. From
1898 to 1908, the company paid $751;
100000 in dividends, an average OF
$5,250.00O a year, or 437 per cent. In
,, 1907 it earned over $14,000,O0O net
profit and paid less than half Of it
in dividends. Il
THE Calumet & Hecla bought
enough stock to control about II
mines, and has practically the same
board Of directors for all companies.
Most Of the stock is owned in Boston.
Quincy Adams Shaw draws 800, 900 a
year as president, and $4,000 a. year
as director. Rudolph e. A. CASSIE,
grandson Of the famous Louis Agassiz
draws $4,000 year as first vice
president and $4,000 as director.
James McNaughton. the big boss
and uncrowned king Of the copper
country, draws $4,000 as second vice
president, $4,000 as director, and
$4,000 as general manager. He also
draws a. salary as general manager
Of the various other mines controlled
by the Calumet & Hecla. The other
directors, F. L. Higginson and W.
Hunniwell, draw $4,000 each. All
these, except McNaughton, live at
