CALUMET, Jan. 2.-Everybody Is
playing waiting game in the copper
country. The representatives of the
Western Federation of Miners declare
the strike has been won, and they are
resting quietly awaiting developments.
The hurried departure of General
Manager McNaughton for Boston is
said to have some significance.
Friends of the miners say that a
secret meeting of the Calumet & Hecla
directors is being held in Boston, and
much depends upon the deliberations
of that meeting. A settlement is
hinted at, even by the most bitter
members of the Citizens Alliance.
Special Agent John B. Densmore of
the Department of Labor, is hopeful
of settlement. He is busily con-
eerring with active participants on
both sides, and while things are still
chaotic, he believes the end is but a
few days off.

Not until Chas.5 III. Meyer, president Of the

Against Tyranny Of Copper Bdrons

There will be mass meeting at the Armorya
next Sunday afternoon to protest to the Con !
gress of the United States against the out-laWrys
that is taking place in the copper country.
Resolutions will be adopted at the protests

Charges are made by the Western Fedora;
tion of Miners that the ordinary rights of citi !
zenship are being denied to the striking min
ers; workingmen are brought into the district
under misrepresentation, and when they find
they have been deceived are kept on company
property in state Of peonage, and the power
and authority OF government has been dele
gated to the mine owners. These are serious
charges. ~ . ..s..,r 49,.
Every man in Duluth with red blood in his

it be big and earnest meeting 49,:
Men who are fair and square will support
labor's demand for throwing the search light

zone in the copper country. The striking min.
ers are not afraid of it's effect, and this is why
they seek action by Congress-. They know that
when the stories of injustice and tyranny that
have been practiced by the copper kings upon
their miners are told-honestly told under oath
it will shake the portals of Capitalism 1

NJ '|VAUGHT0N IS CAR
OF COPPER COUNTRY
All Must Go Down Before Great
Copper King-Why Does
He Explain?

JAMES McNaughton, the baron of
the copper country, whose word is
law there, denies that he knew any
thing about the deportation of
Charles Meyer, president of the West.
ern Federation of Miners, from the
strike region.
The trouble with the copper ty-
rants denial is that he offers too
many explanations as to his where
abouts on the night Meyer was de-
ported. No one has asked him for
explanations, but knowing the copper
country to be under his absolute con-
troll, it is fully believed he dictated
the removal of Mr.. Meyer.
Only few days before Mr.. Meyer
was forcibly elected from McNaugh-
toms little copper kingdom, the Cal
umet morning paper contained a story
to the effect that mine operators and
the citizens alliance had given all
representatives Of organized labor
from outside the state twenty-fouS
hours to leave the district.
The strike leaders were informed
in this language of what awaited
them should they fail to heed the
warning: THEY WILL BE SENT
OUT OF THE DISTRICT IN THE
MANNER THAT SUGGESTS ITSELF

EFFICIENCY OF A FREELY
Artificial lIiuminant Very Poor Second
to That of the Natural
Organisms.

1t is sometimes said that if we could
arrive at the secret of the tireny-Cr
of the other organisms which produce
physiolOgic iight-We should have
reached a great economic discovery,
because the light has such an extror-
binary high efficiency. In other words
all the energy expended in producing
it goes to make light, and not heat
The efficiency has been estimated at
SO per cent by Ives and Coblentz, and
even higher by Langley and Very
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that the best artificial
illuminant has luminous efficiency OF
only A per cent, and most of them
reach only about l per cent, the re-
naming SO per cent of the energy 60
ing to produce heat or other subordi-
nate effects. But even if we should
discover the means by which the fire
fly produces its lights we should
scarcely care to use it in our homes.
Professor McDermott in a recent study
of the subject observes that while the
insect has indeed reached the highest
possible radiant efficiency it has only
accomplished at at sacrifice of color
that makes the light much worse than
the mercury vapor arc. Anything not
within a very limited range OF yellow
and green tones would appear black.

AVOID SALICYlIC ACID
neE OF PRESERVATiVE" CON
pEMNED By EXPERTS.
unrece ssary Except Where Uncleanly
or Careless Work Is Done in the
kitchen-Governme Bulletins
on the Subject.

The attention Of the department OF
agriculture has recently been called
n the widespread use, especially in
rural communities, of salicylic acid In
nuttipg I'D preserves. The head of a
large drug and chemical supply house
states that people living in southwest
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee and western
Georgia have been purchasing sallcyllc
arid in one-fourth-pound packages for
a number of years and that TINS prac
tise has grown to an enormous extent.
This dealer states further that only a
few weeks ago he received an order
from one wholesale grocer for SO gross
Of these goods.
The department is aware that this
nractise is not confined to salicyllc
acid under its own name alone, but
that large quantities Of this acid, and
Of boric acid as WE'LL are sold under
fanciful names as preserving powders
or canning compounds, at prices which
are much in excess of their real value
In the directions for use, the house
wife is told to fill the jar with the
fruit or vegetables, cover with water
and add a teaspoonful of the powder
It is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay Of the fruit or vege'
table, but they also encourage unclean'
" or careless work, and their excess
siye use may be attended with very
serious effects upon the health.
Salicylic acid is a medicine OF the
greatest value in acute articular rheu'
matism and certain other diseases. II
Is we'll known as a poisonous sub
stance, and one of the evils which may
accompany it's use is arrangement OF
the digestion. it is therefore plain
that its extensive use in food may lead
to disturbance of digestion and health.
1t is entirely practicable to put up
both fruits and vegetables in such a
manner that they will keep indefinite
ly by sterilizing the products by means
OF heat, and there is no excuse for

serving powders. The department OF
agriculture has issued the following
farmers, bulletins on canning and pre-
serving:
F. B. 203, Canned Fruit, Preserves
and Jellies.
F. B. 359. Canning Vegetables in the
Home
F. B. 521, Canning Tomatoes at
Home and in Club Work
These bulletins, which may be OBJ
tanned without cost by applying to the
division Of publications Of the depart
ment, give exact directions for can
ming and preserving foods without the
use Of preserving powders or canning
compounds.
