fact remains you did not.
The words in your contract except
legal sheriff's fees" had but one
meaning. They meant the dollar you
could legally charge for issuing a re-
ceipt to tax payer. The words did
not mean mileage ard did not mean
livery, and they certainly did not mean
that you could 60 into community
and on one day collest mileage and Av-
cry from seven or eight tax payers
living within q stones throw Of yne
another.
In defending your sheriff's salAry
bill you say, "The sheriff now geH .
salary in proportion to the popula-
ton" That's another point you have
overlooked. The salary is paid nc
cording to the population and not 4c-
cording to the work done by the sher-
IFS office. The old law adjusted the
sheriff's fees automatically and in pro
portion to the work done by the sh4r-
IFS Office. The new law fixes The
minimum salary regardless Of The
amount of services performed. y
We again repeat, you have failed
to explain the w. j. Carroll contraet.
You have failed to explain its repuda-
ton and the fact of your Willingness
to enter into an unlawful obligatirn.

WAY TO CLINCH IT
Two features of the recent annual
meeting of the United steel corpora
ton have not received the notice
which they merit.
Chairman Gary pointed out that
the corporation, by last year spend
ing $6OO,593 for safety devices on
machinery, had saved from serious
injury 2,773 workers who might
have been hurt under earlier cOndi-
tons investment for, humanity
of $264.23 per head.
Whereupon, Samuel R. Maitland,
stakeholder and water tender in a
boiler house, was given permission to
offer prayer thanking God ''for these
officials and these good men who
have taken such an interest in hui
manity."
1t was a Boston stakeholder,
Charles M. Cabot, who first raised in
a steel trust annual meeting the point
that, though the report to the stock
holders gave much space to produc-
ton and earnings, it said nothing
about labor welfare conditions. He
had to go to law to force Gary and
the other officials to acknowledge the
human claims.
If praying viii cause them to speed
up toward safety first, by all means
let's have prayers. But union Of the
workers would clinch matters.

100 CASES OUT
OF BIC STRIKE
THAT MANY DOCKETED in HOV.
CLIFTON COUNTY AS RESULT
OF COPPER MONERS'
CONTEST.

Houghton, Mich.-The arrival of
Al strikebreakers from New York
today furnished the only development
in the copper miners strike. Soon
after their arrival the strikebreakers,
mostly Germans, went to work in the
Quincy mine.
. Anthony Lucas, prosecuting attor-
ney of iIoughton county, announced
that 100 eases are docketed for trial
at the January term of the circuit
ciurt, beginning mex Monday. There
viii be los defendants in these cases.
The charges range from raising a dis
turbance to murder. Owing to the
length of the docket several weeks
may elapse before the case of the
SO union leaders and strikers indict-
ed recently for conspiracy, is reach
ed. No steps have been taken to eX-
tradite Charles Meyer .or six other
indicted leaders who are outside the
state.
Because of the refusal of members
of the Western Federation of Miners
to accept 100000 collected from citi-
zens of the copper country for the
relief of families who suffered by the
Italian Hall disaster on Christmas
eve, the money may be returned 20
the ponors. President Meyer refused
the money on the ground thai much
of it was subscribed by those who OPP
posed the strike and have derided the
Strikers.
