First Break in Ranks
Holghton. Mich, January 12.-Fourteen
fresh eviction suits, coupled with a bliz-
zcrd and thee first break in the union
ranks at Ahmeek village caused Western
Federation of Miners leaders to shake
their heads dubiously today Union
stores were crowded all day and numer.
Gus requests for increased fuel and food
supplies lad to be. met.
Dan Sullivan. president of the distric.
federation council, said the closing in of
winter was something for which he and
lus associates were anything but anx-
ious.
This means we must keep on getting
ousy' he said. I'VE have feared many
men would feel like quitting the struggle
If we got an old-fa shioned touch of snow
ard ice. Thus far the elements have been
good to u.s."
Desertions at Ahmeek village were IA in
number and half dozen other union
members We're reported to have turned in
their cards to the management of the
Mohawk mine. This district has caused
most anxiety to operators and the Ia st
of the state troops left only this morning.
Fears that riots might result from the
withdrawal of the military and that non
union men might be afraid to continue
work without the moral support of the
bayonet had been expressed by officials
of Kewoenaw county. The blizzard. how
ever. solved the question for today.
Eviction Suits Heard
The eviction suits heard today were
filed by the Copper Range Consolidated
company against IA families. AS in all
other court cases the men allowed the
plaintiff to take Judgment, and Herman
Wieder. circuit court commissioning fixed
appeal bonds at twice the yearly rental
the bonds ranging from SOC to $50 each.
These cases cleared the court docket OF
this class of action.
Rumors that a break was Impending
between the Western Federation of Miners
and the American Federation of Labor
were denied today. James A. Short ana
james r. Roach, personal representatives
Of Samuel Gompers. said the National
Federation of Labor body would continue
its support of the strike at lea st until
after the coming meeting of the executive
council in Washington.
The rumors arose from the fact that
there had been criticism from union
sources Of the socialistic aspects Of the
strike campaign.

The government is perfecting its plans
for handling general strike, should ono

turbed area have been placed under the
protection of troops. Private citizens are
offering to serve as special police.
Reports from different districts are con-

steel products. including billets. would
naturally be damaged considerably II
those large operations were stopped.
Therefore I consider it great advantage
to have the Tennessee company owned by
the United States Steel corporation.
Walker l.. Wexford. secretary and treas
urer of the Chickasaw Cooperage COM
pany of Memphis, who was the only other
witness, testified that his company used
steel hoops the manufacture of bar
rels; that the hoops were bought on a
competitive basis and that there was con-

he had observed no indica ton of a com

Will Be Sympathetic Strike
IL a general strike Is called il will b,
out of sympathy for the strike of rail

If a general strike is called it will be
out Of sympathy for the strike of rail-
way employees, many of whom have ahan-
dored their posts and laid down their
tools in the railroad workshops.
The strike of the railroad men is said
10 be due to the policy of retrenchment
put into effect by tho South African rail
way administration, in pursuance OF
which hundreds of employees In Pretoria.
Rloemfontein, Durham. Salt River and
elsewhere have been dismissed. Strikers
demand the reinstatement of the dis
missed men. They argue that the admin
istration's real motive is to force wages
down, as shown by the fact that some
of the dismissed men have been offered
other billets at reduced wages.
The most hopeful feature of the situa-
tion tonight was the extraordinary sue
cess attending the mobilization of troops
Ii is estimated that 10000 armed men arc

GENERAL STRIKE
IN SOUTH AFR|CA|S
LIKELY TO Be VOTED
Quiet Believed Lull Before
Expected StOrm-The Pro-
posed Strike Will Be
Sympathetic

Cape Town, January l2.-Quiet prevailed
throughout South africa tonight. but this
was considered probably lull before the
storm, as the incoming ballots from vari-
Gus centers make It virtually certain that
general strike will be voted. Ballots
received from miners along the Rand all
favor strike and various trades. in-
GLIDING shop assistants. warehouse men,
and clerks in johannesburg have voted
similarly.
The feeling in Johannesburg is that the
situation is growing more serious. The
Cape Town harbor workers have been of
ficially called out by the union, but their
response will not be known until tomor-
row.
A ballot by the Johannesburg branch of
the typographical union has resulted in a
large majority in favor of strike.

DANDRUfF IS ACTIVE
Save yUnr hair! Get q % cent bottl
Of Danderine right now.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching Of the scalp
which if not remedied causes the
hair roots to shrink, loosen anu die
then the hair falls out fast. A lit
tie Danderine tonight-now-any
time-will surely save your hair.
Get % cent bottle of Knowltons
Danderiae from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
SO beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
of abundance an incompatible gloss
and softness, but what will please
you most will be after just a few
weeks use, when you will actually
see a let of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over the scalp.
