President Meyer Handled
Roughly by Citizens Who
Are Allied Against Miners
(By United Press Associations

(By United Press Associations
Chicago, Dec. 27-National Organic
er M. j. Reilly of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, received the following
message from President Charles H.
Meyer of the federation, who was
hustled out of Hancock last night.
Charles H. Tanner, organizer for
the federation and myself were brut-
ally assaulted in my room at the hotel,
Hancock, last night. I was shot in
the back, dragged through the streets
of Hancock by mob, put on board a
train and threatened with death if I
returned"
Meyer had been quoted as saying
the man who cried "fire," starting the
riot at the Red Racket on Christmas
eve, in which seventy-six persons were
killed, wore badge of the Citizens
Alliance, which was organized to COM
bat the strikers in the copper districts.
tBy United Press Associations
Milwaukee, Dec. 27-Suffering from
and one in the head, President Meyer
of the Western Federation of Labor,
who was run out of Hancock, Mich,
last night, arrived here todav. He de-
clared he would return to Hancock at
once, "Under government protection"
despite the threats to kill him if he
again appears there. He declares he
was attacked after an interview with
committee of fifteen men led by an
attorney named Federman, who repre-
sents the Calumet and Hecla mine
owners. His injuries are painful but
not dangerous, unless complications re-
suit.
Meyer declared he was rightfully
beaten and subjected to indignities of
the grossest sort at the hands of the
Citizens Alliance, which was formed
for the avowed purpose of maintaining
order in the copper country during the
miners strike.
"Hell is about to pop in the copper
country" Meyer said as he stepped
from the train. "The miners are
thirsting for revenge, but hope to
return in time to prevent them doing
anything to injure their cause"
Regarding the attack, he said, 81
was attacked within few minutes af-
ter committee of fifteen left me. In

Preachers of Prudent Providence

Philadelphia Telegraph: The popu-
lation of this country is close to 1OO,-
100000. The number of persons en-
gagged in the life insurance business
is little more than one-tenth OF one
per cent, or, roughly about 125,0OO.
Thus, every insurance solicitor, taking
this class to compose two-thirds OF
over 1900 prospects" to work upon a
year, fairly large number for any
person to see, and more than any
single individual could "write" in
12-month, even at the rate OF a hun
dred a month.
The insurance business is highly
competitive, and yet, with these fig
ures before one, it would seem as if
there was abundant opportunity for
profitable employment or many more
solicitors. The business is an honor
able one, and one which, when rightly
handled, is of immense benefit to the
community. Life insurance is an In
vestment, probably the only kind most
people of moderate means can make.
IL furnishes a valuable collateral to
persons who need occasional credit,
and while reassuring to the living is
also invaluable to their beneficiaries.
A life insurance solicitor should mag
Nifty his office as preacher of pru-
dence and providence, thrift and en-
lightened selfishness. Where he does
so he multiplies his usefulness to his
company and to the community at
large.

(By United Press Associations
Washington, Dec. PA request
has been made to the war department
by j. C. Hayes of Colorado Springs,
Col, a relative by marriage of the
late jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederacy, to have turned over to
him property formerly owned by Da-
Wis. This property includes the eff
fects worn by Davis at the time he
was taken prisoner and his personal
equipment, sword, pistols and spurs.
Secretary of War Garrison has re-
ferred the request to the judge advo-
cate general for consideration. Some
years ago the department turned over
to the survivors of the various regi-
ments of the confederacy all flags
captured during the war and Hayes
now asks that this be extended to in.

fact the committee had hardly gone
before gunmen appeared with men,
bers of the Citizens Alliance.
81 was doing my best to settle the
strike. The governor and attorney
general acknowledged this. The terms
submitted to the mine owners were
fair. They admitted we had kept
faith with all the state officials and
local authorities. The assault was un-
justified.
"Organizer Tanner and were in our
room at the hotel. Sheriff Cruise call
ed. He demanded that we accept for
the federation the funds raised by the
Citizens Alliance for the families of
victims of the Christmas horror at
Red Racket. 1 replied that the strik-
ers themselves had raised $4,000 and
that this was sufficient. Cruise left
and five minutes later the mine whis-
ties blew as if by prearranged signal.
Members of the Citizens Alliance then
entered my rooms, about $50 of them.
We were seized and held by some
while others danced in front, striking
US frequently in the face and kicking
our bodies. Finally someone stepped
behind me and shot me. I tainted
when the first bullet entered my back,
and l don't remember the other two.
When recovered we were being pass
ed down the stairs, one man to another
as they passed us along, each struck
us. We were between lines of dancing
and shouting men and were rushed to
the railway station. They bought
tickets and threw us aboard"
