CHANGE
MINDS ABOUT WORK

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug e. The
strike situation at the Allouez ore
docks has changed front Tuesday
night. The strikers. who were
thought ready to go back to work
Tuesday, voted to stay out 1t was
then expected that new men would
take their places, but the men who
were imported as strike breakers quit
in a body when they found out that
they were mixed up in a strike.
The strikers had signified a will
ingness 10 go back to work; the dock
officials had made all the concessions
the strikers demanded and had
agreed to give the men an increase of
Is cents a day in pay-the demand
for higher wages being & minor issue
brought up by the men-but just
then a leader OF the /. w. w. sue
ceeded in stopping the move for con-
ciliatiOn.
1t was said late Tuesday that the
l. w. w. man had visited the Missabe
dock and the Iron docks at Two Har-
bors and had obtained the promise
that the men on those docks would
strike in sympathy with their fellow
workers on the other properties.
An inquest was held Tuesday over
the two men who were killed in the
accident that precipitated the strike.
The corOner's jury decided that the
men met death under the cars and
cited as the cause the custom of the
railroad in allowing switchmen to
ride on the sides Of the car instead
of the tops.

HOW TO VOTE.

. Although voting machines will
be used for the first time in the
city primary election Wednesday,
. the operation of casting a vote
will be no different so far as the
. voter is concerned from that in
. the general elections last fall. The
difference will be in the duties of
. the judges, who must set the ma
4" chine for the primary voting.
. No voter, of course, is allowed
= to vote for the nomination of can
&" didate on more than one party.
&" In order to prevent such a fraud
g" there is an attachment on the
" machine operated by the judge.
. which enables it TO be set so that
= votes may be cast for a particu-
-" lar party and none other.
Before entering the machine
the voter signifies to the election
. officials which ticket it is his in
. tention TO vote and the machine
. is set accordingly. on entering
4" the booth the large lever is
: thrown from left TO right, closing
. the curtains and opening the ma
= chine for voting. The voter can
g" then draw the levers down over
the names Of his candidates. Au-
. tomatically the machine prevents
= voting for more than one candi-
. date except in the case of coun-
. cilman-at-large, where three are
=" chosen. The levers may be
. turned back in case Of mistake
" before the vote is registered. To
register the vote the large lever
p" is thrown back to the left, which
4" also opens the curtains.

CURRENCY BILL NOW
UP TO THE CAUCUS
Measure With a Few New
Amendments is Passed by
the Committee by a Vote of
Eleven to Three.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The ad-
ministration currency bill, still fur
ther amended in important particu-
lars, emerged from the democratic
conference of the house banking and
currency committee Tuesday over the
protests of Representative Neely of
Kansas, Eagle of Texas and Ragsdale
of South Carolina. At the end of a
lively session, in which the demo-
cratic ObjectOrs promised to carry
their fight TO the floor of the caucus
next Monday, the Glass bill was APP
proved by a vote Of II TO three.
Earlier in the day Pres. Wilson's
currency program had come in for
open criticism in the senate. Sen.
Hitchcock. democratic member of the
currency committee OF that body, in
a speech directed against the plan for
currency reform at this session said
he believed The mere agitation Of
the banking and currency question at
this session has been a mistake"
The differences among democrats
of the house committee were not set
tied by final action on the bill Be
sides the three who voted against II,
Rep. Wingo Of Arkansas expressly
stated that he would fight for amend
ments 10 the measure in the caucus.
AT this last moment and without
any previous consideration" said
Rep. Nicely in a statement Tuesday
night, "A motion was passed author
izing the chairman 10 draft an
amendment to the bill authorizing
national banks to organize and ope-
rate both savings and trust depart
ments in conjunction with the other
features OF the bank
This is an entirely new provision,
exceedingly radical in the changes
wrought in any considered portion Of
the bill, and tends TO Capitalization
OF power TO a high degree. II GER
tainly should never have been adopt
ed without careful consideration"
Notice was served upon Chairman
Glass Tuesday that an attempt will
be made by the opposition made up
OF democrats To have the caucus
Monday thrown open 10 the public.
1t is understood TO be their desire to
bring out open discussion on the
amendments defeated in the commit
tee. for the legalizing Of corn. wheat
and cotton warehouse receipts as the
basis for circulating notes.
The saving banks and trust com
pany amendment. proposed hy Rep
Bukley. was adopted by a vote Of ten
to four: and Rep. Neely's motion 10
recommend an open caucus and Rep
Wingo's amendment TO prohibit in
terlOcking banking directors were
defeated by similar votes. In each Of
these contents Representatives
Neely, Ragsdale. Eagle and WingO
voted against the balance OF the
democrats.
The currency bill probably viii not
