STRIKE SETTLEMENT.
PROPOSAL WILL NOT
WORK, SAYS FERRIS
Mine Operators Against
Allowing Strikers to
Return, Declares
Governor

Big Rapids, Mich, December FIT
Governor Ferris here tonight to the AS
ISOLATED Press after the latest proposal
for settlement of the Calumet copper
strike, made by Charles II. Meyer in Chi
cago this afternoon, was read to him.
The governor said he was positive the
mine operators would never consent to
an arrangement which compelled them to
employ without discrimination men who
al present are strikers.
Governor Ferris said he saw nothing in
Meyers latest settlement proposition to
which he, personally, would object He
called attention to the fact that he ad-
vised the mine operators to accept the
first proposition for a settlement Of the
difficulties which Meyer made and which
was Included in the statement given out
ia Chicago today by the president of the
Western Federation of Miners.
when l suggested to the operators
that they consider the original Meyer
plan they told me such conrse would be
an insult to the men who We're working
their mines," said the governor. "They
said further. the men in their emrloy at
that time did not want TO have anything
to do with the Western Federation of
Miners.
ut is asserted that the Calumet and
Hecla mines are being operated with
practically a full force. If the Calumet
and Hecla operators are telling the truth
these men do not want to have anything
to do with the Western Federation. I
have put the matter up TO the operators
again and again and again. They will
not take back the strikers indiscrimi-
nately."
