UNREGISTERED In shipping circles; the
Pennoil, chartered by the Standard Oil
company and the tank steamer Della

apparently unable to identify her. The

NATIONAL STRIKE
MAY BE URGED BY
STRIKING MINERS

Chicago. Jan. Ga meeting OF the
executive committee OF the American
Federation of Labor, at Washington.
at which the copper strike in Michigan
will be considered, will be called by
samuel Gompers, president of the or
ganization.
h was earned from Charles H.
Meyer. president of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, here today. He was
asked concerning rumors that an at
emp would be made to call q nation
wide strike in sympathy with the
Michigan and Colorado miners.
Amy such demand must be made on
the American Federation of Labor" he
replied, apparently choosing his words
carefully. IF sue a thing is con-
sidered. ii would be considered by that
body
"Have you asked for a notion-wide
striker" he was asked.
There has been considerable pres
sure exerted that such a demand be
made. However, 1t may be said that
our w plans are In statu quo. I will
confer tomorrow with Charles E. Ma
honey, vice president Of our fedora
ton; Guy A. Miller and Yanco Terisch,
members of the executive board, and
we will determine what further action
to take, now that Mr.. Densmore has
been unable to negotiate q peace plan
and the governor of Michigan Is about
to make a personal investigation. Mr..
Mahoney is due at 8 o'clock and it is
doubtful IL we can do more than have
an informal hat that time"

CONTRIBUTED.

That this town needs improve
ments in its fire department, is
evidenced every time fire alarm
is sent in.
We need a better fire alarm
system. We need a system that
will let people \know where the
fire is, that will enable the fire hose
wagons TO get to the fire as quickly
as possible without having to run
all over town looking for the fire.
We need fire companies like we
had a few years ago. Live, active
fire companies, and we need to
encourage these fire companies.
Will some one start something
in this direction?
