MAY BUY 100000
OUNCES OF SILVER
SENATOR sMOOT WIRES HE WILL
INTRODUCE BILL AUTHOR
ZING PURCHASE

Relative to the price of silver and
the government purchasing it, a tel.
egram was received by Professor w.
F. Jensen of the Commercial club
yesterday to the effect that Senator
Smoot would introduce a bill author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
purchase 100000 ounces of silver.
The telegram also said that consid-
cradle inquiry had been received for
silver from Europe, but that there
had been no purchases.
The telegram, which was dated
Washington, Aug. 10, is as follows:
"W. F. Jensen, President CONNER
cial Club, Salt Lake, Utah: = Direc-
tor of mint still believes that ar
rangements will be made to handle
all silver produced in America.
Shelters have agreed to carry half
if United States will purchase other
half of production. Will introduce
bill today authorizing secretary of
treasury to purchase 25,000,000
ounces. Considerable inquiry for
silver from Europe lately, but as yet
no purchases. No necessity for sug-
costing my strenuous support. Have
spent more time with treasury de-
partment on this question than any
other senator. I am working and not
making speeches. Reed Smoot."
1t was in reply to the telegram
sent by President Jensen at the sug-
gestion of the mines committee and
the authorization of the board of
governors. The majority of the ship
pers are of the opinion that silver
will go higher than SO cents per
ounce shortly, but attribute their OPP
timism to the pressure that is being
brought by various business organi-
cations throughout the western states
to have a metals market established.
Shippers received provisional set
Elements yesterday for ore that had
been shipped to the shelters since
Aug. / to Augut II inclusive, the set
Elements being made on the SO cents
per ounce basis. Lead brought $3.50
per cwt.
The governments buying price for
silver advanced 1 cent in the assay
offices yesterday the local United
States assayer being ordered In a dis
patch from Washington to pay SO
Gets per ounce instead of 81 as here

SOUTHERN SEAS
THEN


Sixty years ago today the
United States government sent
out it's scientific expedition for
exploring and charting the
southern seas. The squadron
of five vessels and a storship
set sail from Norfolk, Va. Its
chief, Commander Charles
Wilkes, was aboard the flag
ship, the Vincennes, which was
to carry him around the earth
during the next four years.
Rounding South America, after
a leisurely journey in which
he stopped to explore many
unknown islands, he sailed
northward along the coast of
California at the time when
it was under Spanish rule. He
continued onward to the pres
ent states of Oregon and
Washington. He arrived in
Honolulu at the time when the
Hawaiian islands were about
to fall into the hands of the
French-but Wilkes made 1t
so evident that the United
States would tolerate no such
event that Hawaii remained an
American appanage. In Samoa
he drew up a treaty with the
tribal chief that gave to the
United States one Of it's most
valuable naval coaling sta
tions. He displayed such a
force in the Philippines that
its influence remained effective
to the day when the Ameri-
cans came to occupy it a half
Century later. Upon his re-
turn he announced that he had
discovered a new continent in
the Antarctic region, which he
gave the name of Wilkes
Land. His claim was herald
ed with ridicule and it became
a subject of bitter controversy.

Today practically all the
worlds seas have been chart
ed; but about 100000 square
miles, or one-eighth of the to-
tai land surface of the earth,
are still unknown to the white
man. The great American ex-
plorer stands INDICATED and
the Antarctic continent is an
established fact. Explorers
have not only proved that
there is a Wilkes land, but
have discovered the south
pole. The example set by
Wilkes in the Antarctic has
been emulated in the Arctic
and today the north pole is
also an established fact. To-
day. also, the Pacific ocean is
a great highway of commerce
and it's travel is based upon
the accurate knowledge gath
cred by Wilkes. Every ship
finding its way through the
unlighted mazes of the south
sea is guided by the surveys of
the Omitted States Exploring
Expedition" as it has become
known historically. The Unit
ed States still has an excel
lent naval station in the mid
Pacific, which Is due to the
blue-paper treaty with its quill
penned agreement drawn up
by Wilkes and the barbarian
chief. Because of the decisive
action of the American explor-
err. Hawaii today is an Ameri-
can territory and not a French
possession. The south sea
island natives remember "the
America" as they called
Wilkes. to this day. According
to their myths. he taught them
hospitality. which they prac-
tice today by sending the fair
est of their maidens to greet
the stranger with yams and
bamboo tubes of water.

TESTIFY THAT STATE STREET
STORES HELPED HENRICI

SIORES HELPED HENRlCI
Money and political pull of the
State street stores is used against the
unions fighting HenFici's restaurant,
according to witnesses who testified
before Judges McGoorty, Baldwin
and Windes yesterday.
Steve Sumner of the milk wagon
drivers and Fred Becker of the bak-
cry wagon drivers said they held
hour-hour conference with Manager
Collins of Henrici's in the Red Star
restaurant Feb. and Collins warned
them that AL the State street stores
were backing him and he could go
the limit
John Fitzpatrick, president Chi.
cago Federation of Labor, recalled
Collins saying dire things would
happen if the strike was called, and
the business interests of the loop
would sink everything they had in
resistance to the unions
Collins testified: THE advertise
ments signed in all the newspapers
saying that business was not affected
by the picketing were written before
l had time TO check up on my reports.
When l struck an average 1 found
that trade was falling Off Except in
that respect, the advertisements were
all true"
Attorney Masters asked: "You say
in these ads that there was no dis
satisfaction among your employees
is that true?" Collins said it was
true. Ten minutes afterward TONY
Weth, secretary of the bakers,
named the five union bakers who are
on strike. at Henrici's and dissatis-
fed. - ~. ..-
Collins was asked how much
money he spent for advertising since
the strike. His attorney, McEwen,
objected 'Immaterial, and the three
judges put their heads together and

have tO answer IN tho ha cic of tho

"a closed shop agreement was not
demanded of Collins" John Fitzpat-
rick said. "Henrici's was offered the
preferential shop system contract. 1t
proposed the plan now operated by
Hart, Schaffner & Marx among TO-
900 employees"
McEwen pulled stenographic re-
port of a speech made by Fitzpatrick
at International Labor Hall, read Sec
lions of it and asked; did you say
that?"
Some of the sentences were: eff
the Heinrich restaurant can't change
conditions, let it go out of business;
the labor movement has got to set
tie this question in Chicago once for
all and we might as well begin right
now and do it in 1914. My sentiment
is that either Henrici's has got to
pay a living wage or go out of bust
ness"
Fitzpatrick answered: Eyes, l said
that; l think you've got the words
about right"
Under the system today, employees
would sign anything, they would
swear away their rights as American
citizens if they had to do it to hold
their jobs" was his comment on the
affidavits of Heinrich mattresses that
they are perfectly satisfied with pay
and conditions.
