President Wilson accompanied the

ments:
The executive order under which
the expectation OF arms and ammuni.
ton into Mexico is forbidden. was a
departure from the accepted practices
OF neutrality deliberate departure
from those practices under a well con.
sidered Joint resolution OF congress
determined upon IN circumstances
which have now ceased to exist. II
was intended TO discourage incipient
revolts against the regularly constl-
tuted authorities OF Mexico.
Since that order was issued the
circumstances of the case have under.
gone a radical change There Is now
no constitutional government In Mex
leo; and the existence OF this order
binders and delays the very thing
the government OF the United States
10 now insisting upon. namely. that
Mexico shall be left free to settle her
own affairs and as soon as possible
put them upon constitutional foot.
Ing by her own force and counsel.
The order is therefore rescinded."

Calumet-Hecla Company Had "Ex-

Declares Report
BY ASJoctdted Pysss

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1O.-Report
Oh the Department of Labor's investi-
CATION of the Michigan copper strike
made public here to-day, declares thai
strlke-breakers were imported into the
copper region by misrepresentation
that some were taken to the mines al
the point of pistols; that strikers were
wounded by firearms in the hands OF
armed guards; but that no evidence
was found of officers being injured by
the strikers.
IT was pointed out that while many
OF the smaller copper mining COM
panies in the region were operating at
a loss. the Calumet-Hecla Company,
which employs more than SO per cent,
OF the men In the region, had had
extremely large profits" With an au-
thorized capital of $2,50O.OOO, of which
sI,zOo,UUU was paid in, the report de-
clares that since 1871 the company
has paid S121, ,050,00O in dividends and
re1nvested $75,000,000 in it's property.
IL pays wages for a ten to eleven hour
day ranging from $3.50 to S3.62 and
with an average of s3.2S, while the
average day wage of the other COM
panies is s2.74. The report also points
out the welfare work the company
conducts for its employees, such as hos
pltals, pension fund and the like.
The report was made upon the in
vestigations of Walter B. Palmer, a
special agent of the Department of
Labor; John A. Moff1tt and John B.
Densmore. solicitor for the depart
ment, who were sent out to the cop
per region as conoiliators.
Secretary Wilson, making public a
summary of the report to-day, de-
clined to say what his next step would
be, but intimated that the findings of
his investigators might be made the
basis OF a proposed congressional in
vestigation. =

CITIZENS Modified
IN SOUTH AFRICA To
PROTECT PROPERTIES
Strikers Have Tied Up Traffic
in the Transvaal and
Orange State
FEAR UPRISING AMONG MINERS
Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery
Forces Are Ready
For Action

Cape Town, Union of South Africa,
Jan. 10.-Drastic measures have been
taken by the government of the Union
of South Africa to prevent serious
! trouble arising out of the strike of
railway men in the Transvasl and
Orange State provinces. The entire
defense forces of South Africa, includ-
ing the regulars and the citizens re-
serve, are being mobilized for the pro-
lection of property, which the govern
ment believes to be threatened.
The strikers have tied up railroad
traffic in the Transvaal and the Orange
State. but have not yet succeeded in
interfering with transportation at
Cape Colony and Natal.
The authorities in mobilizing the
forces are looking toward a much
greater danger than that of the strike.
They fear a possible uprising of the
thousands of native laborers in the
mines, some of whom have already
shown signs of unruliness. The ma
tives are likely to become still more
intractable when they learn that pro-
visions may run short owing to the
impeded communications.
In Natal all the infantry. cavalry
and artillery comprised in the forces
of the Union of South Africa were
mohilized this morning. The forces
available at Bloemfontein, capital of
the Orange State, have been sent off
to Jagersfontein, whose diamond
mines rank in value next to those of
Kimberley. The native laborers there
had already adopted a threatening at
titude this morning.
Some further arrests of labor lead
ers were made this morning, among
them President Connerty and Secre-
tary Dawson, of the railway mems ex-
ecutive committee, and Buckley and
Riley members of the executive com
mittee

connection whatever with the strike

about the death of Basuto which

kick of white overseer.
The whites were driven by the ma
tives to tunnel of mine, where
they defended themselves. In the
meantime the natives destroyed the

came onto the scene and dispersed
the natives after a sharp fight.
The town is now under the control
of detachments of armed farmers

are supported by a small force of reg
