EMPLOYERS STATE POSITION
Any Labor Union but the Western
Acceptable.

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 31.-Allan f.
Rees, legal representative of James
MacNaughton, general manager of the
Calumet and Hecla Mining company,
denied there had been any conference
between officials of the Western Fed
ration of Miners and the mine mana
gers.
Early in July a letter was receiv-
ed from the miners asking for bet
terment of some conditions in the
mines" Mr.. Rees said. THAT letter
never was answered. Then the fed
Grafton wrote the mine managers ask
ing for a conference for considera-
tion of working conditions. The man
ayers tried to find from the workmen
in the mines If they were in favor of
the Western Federation of Miners
taking up the working conditions in
the Calumet district. The vote was
1900 against the federation to III
for. That vote was taken in the Quin
cy mine. We found the same sentiment
in other mines. and that out of $4,000
miners 1000 were in favor of the
lcueIdtlOu.
THE decision of the managers was
that the Western Federation of Min
ers had no authority to ask for any
conference on behalf of the miners.
No attention was paid to the com.
munication at that time or at any
other time, and let me say that at no
time will the mine managers have
any conferences or any meetings with
the Western Federation. The miners
don't want the Western Federation
of Miners. / can say this, however:
"A large majority of the men are al
work. l would say that the number
of men on strike is $500 with about
10000 working. The Calumet and
Hecla mines have more men at work
now than before the strike.
while the mine managers have
never Disseminated against the EN-
ployment of the union men they Wi
not employ members of the Western
Federation. Meyers record with tina,
organization has doomed it for this
community. We would be willing to
accept any other union of miners
but never the Western Federation"

Huerta's Entire Army in the North.

Presidio. Tex, Dec. 31.-Fighting
between Mexican federals and Con-
stitutionalists at Ojnaga, Mex, has
been resumed.
The rebels advanced upon the fed
eral trenches, where the remnant of
Huerta's army in Northern Mexico
had taken refuge after its disastrous
defeat of the previous night.
Indications were that the federal
army, demoralized by fear, could not
be rallied by the Huerta generals.
American army experts predict vic
tory for the attackers.
Meanwhile United States troops on
this side of the river were scouting
the border for any federals who might
have crossed during the night and to
check any general rush across the
river
The situation was regarded as
critical, both because it appeared to
hold the fate of the federal army and
because it threatened a general rush
across the river of all the federal
troops should the rebels close in.
Fight or fee were the conflicting
question written on the face of every
soldier now under siege in the small
Mexican village about a mile from
Presidio. Within the confines of the
village were all that remained of the
Northern division of Huerta's army
About them on the hills are the

were the rest of the rebels.
All are moving under instructions
from General Villa to exterminate the
federals if possible.

In the final rout the rebels, march

of Ojinaga, completely wiped out the
federal outposts. The news of the
defeat at La Mula pass and La Mu
