The rebels were reported to have reach

force of 1900 men were within a few days

General Francisco Castro, Federal COM

the rebels indefinitely. The worst the
Federals expected was siege which
would not involve great hardships be-
cause the Huerta army would be able
to procure supplies from Preside.

Urged ASK Probe into Deportation Of Meyer.

Calumet, Mich, Dec 2S.-The West
ern Federation of Miners buried it's
dead today F'ifty-nine bodies, includ-
ing those of A children, were carried
through the streets, down a winding
country highway and We're laid in
graves in a snow -shrouded cemetery
within sight of Lake Superior. Thou
sands of saddened miners formed the
escort of the funeral parties and pass
ed between other thousands who, as
spectators testified to the grief that
has oppressed the community since "
men. women and children were killed
in the Christmas Eve panic in Italian
hall.
For four hours the Sabbath calm
was broken by the tolling of bells and
the sound of voices intoning burial
chants In half dozen churches SER
vices were held. Delegations of strikers
began coming into Calumet early in
the day. A special train brought hun
dreds of Federationists from the iron
mines of Negaunee and Ishpeming and
every town and mining location in
the copper country sent members and
friends of the union to swell the ranks
of the marchers in the afternoon.
By noon the union host was as
sembled. Months Of experience in dem
onstrating theis numbers by parading
had taught the men to form ranks
quickly and with little delay they lined
up four abreast.
The supply of hearses was made
quate and there were only II of these
vehicles in the van. Then came the
undertakers' wagon and an automobile
truck. the latter carrying three eof-
fins. These vehicles contained the adult
victims and the older children. Be-
sides one marched eight women, who
acted as pail bearers for a member
of the Women's Auxiliary of the West
ern Federation.
Behind the hearses came a section of
the procession which brought tears
and sobs from on-lookers. Thirty-nine
white collins, their size testifying to
the short life of the little forms with
in. were carried by relays of strikers.
Four men bore each coffin, and as their
