CRUCIAL TEST IN STRIKE
Refusal Of Mine Operators to Confer
on Suggestion Of Governor May Re.
suit in Withdrawal Of Portion Of
State Troops.

State Troops.
Calumet. Mich. July so.-A crucial
incident in the copper mine strike was
scheduled for development today. The
operators have been asked by Gen.
Louis Abbey to consider proposals
emanating from Lansing that a con-
ference be held in the governors Of
fee between operators and mine Of
dcials.
The attitude of the companies, 1t
was predicted. would be mono too
friendly to the plan. inasmuch az they
considered 1t would place them in the
position Of recognising the Western
Federation to at least some degree.
They were chary Of endorsing the
scheme because its .pronouncement was
coincident with the presence in Lam
sing Of Charles Mahoney. vice presi-
dent Of the federation.
The union leaders hero were still
jubilant over tho outcome OF Mahon-
ey's visit and expressed the belief that
failure OF the companies to act on the
suggestion Of the governor would re-
suit in 1t least tthe withdrawal Of part
Of the state troops.
Military men had an investigation Of
their own on their hands in connection.
with wounding of striker by q sentry
at the Isle Royal mine last night.
They sought to determine tho truth Of
the sentry's statement that he had
been assaulted with stones before he
fred at and wounded his tormentor.
Reports Of disturbances at the out
lying troop stations reached the brigade
headquarters this morning. A regular
fusilade Of shots was fired by guards
strung along the railway tracks in the
Calumet & Hecla shop yards. but the
sentries aimed high and 80 far as could
be learned no one was hit.
The men reported that groups Of
strike sympathizers had been skulking
in the shadows and started throwing
stones at the guardsmen. One Of the
missiles grazed a sentry's head and he
fired in the air. A shower Of stones fol-
lowed and the other sentries fred over
the heads Of the disturbers. The score
or more shots aroused the camps and
frightened away the union pickets.
Two arrests were made at Isle Royale
Of men charged with threatening the
troops. That location promised to be-
come a storm center, as It was thought
last nights wounding OF striker by a
sentry had aroused the ire Of the for
eigners.
A sentry at Colonel Boucher's head
quarters at Calumet reported thrill
ing experience. He said he turned at
the sound Of footsteps to md himself
confronted by q man carrying a re-
volver. The sentry on the adjoining
post saw the occurrence and covered
the intruder with his rife. The latter
obeyed the command, Hands up" but
but failed to heed the succeeding Halt"
and lodged to safety down an alley.
