an old story that he first began life as
a bandit. when rurale, a mounted
policeman, outraged his sister, and
was killed by Villa, who had to flee
for his life. A mysterious American

years; she is black.eyed. black-haired

and that may be a point in his favor.
In the latter months he has begun to
pay more attention to the business

goes to a town, he establishes an
office. He receives his callers in
business-like fashion, dressed in bust

when a story is too long and then
gives his decision like a shot. And
he has never been known to change,

He is. He has taken the lives OF

body guard hoping to get an excuse to
shoot him. He entered the city OF Ell

men know from experience that when
the republicans are in power they have
had work and good wages and that
when the democrats have succeeded In
getting into power with democratic
congress they have had hard times,
low wages and no work. For that
reason they are going TO vote the
republican ticket this fail and feel
that the workingmen of other nation
alities are going to do just what the
men OF my nationality are going to
do they are going to vote the republic
can ticket. This is republican year
made 80 by the fact that we have hard
times These hard times may be
directly chargeable to the democratic
policy or il may be coincident but
workingmen note that every time
democratic government has operated at
Washington in the past generation,
hard times have followed.

WAGE CUT OF
10 PER CENT
TOOK EFFECT IN THE DISTRICT ON
TINE 18Th or THIS MONTH
n Was A LAST RESORT
Local Officials We're Reluctant
to Issue Orders From
Headquarters

The mining men of this district
were called upon during the week to
perform one OF the most distasteful
duties that have devolved upon them
for fifteen years; the cutting of the
wages of their employs. One of the
mining superintendent In acquainting
a Diamond Drill reporter with mis-
orders last week could scarcely keep
back tears as be spoke Of. 1.-THE poor
men who are facing winter on a
wage that will not make both ends
meet under the present high price of
living.
The wage cut amounted TO 10 per
cent on the daily wage and was an
nounced as an emergency move to help
tide over the present dull period in the
iron industry The iron men were
the very last to cut wages of all the
industries affected. The lull In she
iron business has been coming on with
increased pressure as the months
have rolled by ever since the change
in the tariff policy was announced.
When spring opened. absolutely no ore
was sold and il was not until June
that the ore shipping season opened
whereas in former years ore went for
ward in April Things kept getting
from bad TO worse until midsummer
when mines commenced to close down
and every property not having ore to
ship OF development work to do closed
down tight. Then came the European
war but as business had got down to
the bottom the only effect OF the war
was TO wipe out prospects OF revival
and within the last month some pro-
perties on other ranges that had made
the shipments allotted TO them closed
down, some Of them because their
stocking grounds were already over
flowing with ore and others because
the fund to operate with and pay the
labor cannot be secured
AS sample of the changed con-
dition in the Crystal Falls district
that employs 1900 men in its mines
when business is normal and the
mines all working. there are less than
COO men on the pay rolls today. Local
concerns interested in furnaces have
been taking down ore and turning il
into pig iron which has called for
more OF an investment in wages at the
smelling end only to pile up the pig
iron until the limit has at last been
reached. No more money can be got
to operate with so ore shipments have
been cnt TO the quick and the forces
reduced 70 the absolute necessary
number and these fortunate mentor
men who have jobs now days are
fortunate are asked to bear a portion
of the burden by wage reduction.

Tax Exceeds Primary Money

Auditor General Fuller has issued
a statement showing the amount of
state tax raised in the different coun-
ties and the excess one way or the
other. Iron county paid into the state
treasury s27. 2i6. 20 in state tax more
than we received in primary. A
glance over the contributions from the
upper peninsula will show that the
counties of the mining district
as rule paid more money than they
received. The list is as follows:
