Meeting That Every Union
Man in State is Ardent for

CALUMET. Mich. Aug. 4.-Con-
ferences between Western Federation
OF Miners officials and officers OF the
Michigan State Federation Of Labor
sunday complicated the situation I'm
the copper miners strike At least
two sessions were held and Il was
reported that one OF the visitors. T.

the representative of Gov. Ferris i'm
a fresh effort 10y the executive To
bring into harmony the warning in
dustrial elements Of this district.
The men who met in Hancock and
later in Calumet were.
Claude o. Taylor. Grand Rapids

Ierzlch of the executive board OF the
miners union. Guy +. Miller. asso-
ciate of the latter three. also took
part nthe latter conferences.
OF the numerous surmises that
grew out Of the meetings the one
that gained the widest credence had
1t that the state Federation men were
endeaVoTlng 10 find a way TO get the
miners back TO work on advantage
Gus terms as TO increased wages and
shorter hours and at the same time
obtain a practical recognition Of the
union principle from the mine own
eTs.
one Of the chief objections which
the operators have advanced 10 rec
ognize the striking union is that its
oIncers come from mining districts
outside of Michigan. Ii was there
fore considered reasonable TO suppose
that If the Michigan Federation took
direct hand in the situation. the
mine owners might be persuaded TO
confer with Home folks. In pub
lie utterances, however, the labor
leaders gave no hint that any such
movement was contemplated.
Pres. Taylor and G.. +. Mahoney
spoke at big mass meeting in
Laurium Sunday afternoon. The
former assured the crowd that the
strikers cause was the state Organi-
zation's cause. He asserted that
every union man i'm the state was ar
dent for the success of the strike.
Mr.. Mahoney announced he was go
ing 10 the Federaion's headquarters
IN Denver and that he had wired the
heads Of every national labor organi-

Company managers generally rest
cd Ia preparation to the test OF put

known that efforts were being made

TRAPPED BY HIS OWN SIZE
Doctor, 3O7 Pounds, Stuck i'm Phone
Booth.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Dr. Isador
Zippert weighs 307 pounds and is not
very high. Much of his weight is
amidship. He was at the Midnight
Students club one morning when he
was called to the telephone. He re-
ceived a hurry-up call TO attend a
patient. He said he would start at
once. He made an effort to start, but
didn't bulge an inch. He tugged
and strained until he was blue in
the face. Then he called for assist
ance.
DR.. David Badger got hold of DR..
Zippert's arms and pulled until it
appeared that either the arms or the
booth must give way, but each held
fast.
Several doctors formed a human
chain and tried to drag DR.. Zippert
out of the booth. The combined
power proved ineffective.
Henry Stein, a court official was
summoned His mathematical cal
culations convinced him there was
only one way TO get the doctor out;
that was to tear down the booth.
After being imprisoned 2 minutes
the physician was liberated. He
jumped into an automobile and hur-
ried away TO his patient After ad-
ministering first aid, DR.. Zippert him
self collapsed as a result Of his eX-
ertions. but soon recovered.

WILL KILL FUGITIVE GRAIN
II. II. Can't Harvest Cereals Along Its
Tracks.

CONELLSVILLE, Pa, Aug. A.
Farmers are looking with envy on the
big patch of wheat and oats. grown
uo unbidden along the main line Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Great stretches Of waving green
stalks, broken occasionally by a bar
rem spot, running for miles along the
railroad and the right-of-way, and
now giving considerable worry to
officials of the railroad.
The seed, which took root and
grew. came from leaking cars during
the heavy grain movement on the
line this spring.
An official OF the railroad company
declared that hundreds of bushels Of
grain were lost during the eastward
movement, because of the little care
taken in the selection of cars and
carelessness in boarding up and seal
ing doors He said that. taking the
entire area OF growing wheat along
the railroad. the aggregate would
run into hundreds of acres, and would
produce many thousands of bushels
OF good grain. If allowed 10 ripen.
However. the railroad officials have
decided 10 get a chemical prepara-
ton which will kill the rapidly grow
ing stalks. They expect TO scatter
this solution from a motor car by
means OF a specially built spraying
machine.

in the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Asher played a big
part in the campaign. leading hun

personal efforts. They arrived In
South Bend Saturday, stopping at
TippecanOe place.
Before the sermon, Mrs. Asher
rendered a sole.
In the afternoon she addressed a
large crowd of young girls and women
at the First Baptist church. and
again in the evening she talked and
sang at 81. Paul's NJ. E. church.
Both services were well attended.

Mr.. Asher announced SUNDAY that MS

Rev. Mr.. Asher took his text from
Acts. using the subject, What is a

He made his sermon an evangelistic
appeal, saying that possibly there
might be among the audience some
person or skeptic who had not at
tended the bllly ouhudy iOC'AioS' "a
would not take part in such services.
He said that being a church mem
Der did not necessarily make one a
Christian.
People might come to church by
force of habit. and listen to sermons
of spiritual enlightenment all their
lives. but never really be Christians
he said. Joining a church or believ-
ing in Christ does not necessarily
make one a Christian.
"A Christian is one who, through
his faith, believes in Christ" He said
that too many people were only born
Christians instead of being born into
the new life. He pointed TO the new
birth as a period when one changes
his left by consecrating himself TO
Christ for service for the Master,
feeling that a change has taken place

found the enemy close behind him.
There they forced him 20 make his
