At Houghton By
Guards.
BLAME THE CITY ALLIANCE.
Charge Organization With Kidnap-
ing of Federation
Head.

( Calumet, Mich, Dec. 27.-Charles
H. Meyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, was put on q
train and sent out of the supper
strike district last night. The de-
portation was the direct result OF re-
fusa of families stricken by the
Christmas eve disaster here to accept
relief from committee, the major
ity of whose members belonged to
the citizens alliance, an organiza-
ton combating the five months
strike of the federation.
At the meeting of the relief commit
tee it was stated that the federation
had forbidden it's members to accept
any portion of the $4,000 raised
for relief of the panic victims. A
section of the committee thereupon
was delegated to confer with Presi-
dent Meyer of the federation.
They arranged meeting at Han
cock at which the citizens told Mr..
Meyer that his action was against
the. welfare of humanity, declaring
it absurd that the cry of fire"
which started the panic, causing the
deaths of seventy-two persons was
raised by a member of the alliance.
The union leader, it was said refus-
ed to make satisfactory answer to
the committee.
Meyer, it was said, refused to
make retraction satisfactory to the
committee and a short time later
he and John Tanner of California,
an organizer for the organization
were observed on street car going
from Hancock to Houghton.
Just across the bridge connecting
the two towns and distant about 400
| feet from the structure, is the depot
of the Copper Range Railroad. There
it was noticed that Meyer and his
companion boarded train for Chi
cago. They were accompanied by
three men who seemed to be guard
ing them, although there was no
visible demonstration of force or CO.
ercion.
Meyers departure leaves the strik-
ers with only local men at the head
of their affairs. In the early stages
of the strike G.. e. Mahoney, vice
president of the federation and Guy
Miller, Yanco Terzich and John c.
Lowney, members of the executive
committee were on the ground. Moy-
er joined them after his return from
an international labor conference in
Europe and has been in actual con-
troll Of the situation for several
weeks.
The other executive officers of the
federation left the territory about a
fortnight ago. going to various
places on union business. MahOney
went to Washington to plead for a
congressional investigation Of the
strike and Miller's destination was
said to be Springfield, Ill. Terzich
said he was going to Colorado, but
Lowney did not announce WHITTIER
he was bound

laurels to the booster movement inaug-
urated by the Lafayette Chamber of

mass meeting at Lafayette to effect a
permanent organization of boosters
from thirteen parishes in southwest
Louisiana.
The first train in the booster move
ment was run some days ago from La
fayette to Lake Charles, and the spe-
cial duplicated the victory of the form
er excursion.
The reception at New iberia was an
event. At Jeanerette, where the train
stopped 30 minutes, the delegation was
augmented by several Of the towns
business men.
. At Franklin the boosters were es-
corted to the courthouse, where they
were welcomed by Mayor Lauve.
Judge Thomas H. Milling and Prof.
Stephens also spoke. Judge Milling's
talk was along practical lines, showing
that he had not only deep sympathy
for the movement, but that his advice
was we'll founded.
After two hours visit in Frank
the boosters were again on their way
toward Morgan City, stopping at Pat
terson to take on an additional mum
Der Of boosters.
The arrival at Morgan City would
have been more spectacular had the
special train been on schedule, but as
it was the train reached Morgan City

not as large as it might have been

Lancaster in the case of Frank Sesa-

ben silent as timepiece for several
years, the thoughtful Judge declared
that If Sesario would fix the clock to

he was to regulate the clock. Thus far
