REVIEWS APPEAL FOR Inquiry
INTO MINERS STRIKE

Washington, Jan. 12.-The report
of Dept of Labor Investigator Wal
ter B. Palmer on the Michigan cop
per miners strike will form the basis
for a renewed appeal for congress
sional inquiry. Officers of the Amer
fcan Federation of Labor will bring
this report to the attention of the
senate and house this week.
Palmer's report makes charges
that much violence in the copper re-
gion was provoked by the armed
deputies imported by the mining
companies; that many Michigan
militiamen became intoxicated and
were allowed to wander about the
streets armed; that men employed in
the mines as trammers perform the
labor of beasts of burden and soon
wear out, and other verifcations of
charges that have already been made
in the Day Book.
