Copper Mine Owners
Want Wilson Ousted
sEcRETARYs SEATTLE SPEECH
HAS GIVEN THEM A oUALM.
Attempt to Force Resignation Shows
Extremity of the Labor-5aitins
Magnates.

A telegram. inspired by the copper
mine owners of Calumet, Mich. has
been sent to the President of the Unit
dress delivered by Secretary of the
Department of Labor William B. Will
son in Seattle. Wash, recently. 1t IS
also claimed to be the forerunner of
g movement to force the resignation
of Wilson. Secretary Wilson in the
address referred to, took occasion to
announce that the actual investment
made by the largest corporation in
that district, was sl,250.000. and that
in forty-two years dividends of s121.-
000,00O have been declared upon this
capital stock, aside from investments
made out of its earnings of $4,000. 200.
making approximately net profits from
an investment of S1.250,000 of $780,
100000. Ii is asserted that about $50
signed the telegram, and the Presi-
dent is urged to demand the resigna-
tion of the Secretary of Labor. The
expressions used by Secretary Wilson
with reference to the rights of prop
erty very closely follow the lines OF
the opinions heretofore expressed by
the President himself. Therefore, it
is not expected that the kilograms de-
manding the resignation of Secretary
of Labor Wilson will have any effect
whatsoever. If the stating of the
truth. as was done by Secretary Viii
son, is offensive to the copper mine
operators, it is not to be wondered at,
for the arrogant position that they
have taken indicates that they propose
to use their power to crush any inSi-
vidual or combination of individuals
who do not thoroughly coincide with
their program of extracting fabulous
profits. The shedding of light upon
the dark operations of the copper op'
orators in the treatment of their work
men and society is not taken kindly
to by the mining magnates.
