NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
AGAINST MINE OWNERS
The following resolution was
unanimously passed by the Anti
p Hearst Trade Union League:
Whereas, The copper miners of
Calumet, Mich, are engaged in a
desperate struggle for justice, the
recognition Of trade unionism and the
right to live; and
Whereas, The mine operators or
owners, aided and abetted by GRIM
inaIy incompetent state governor,
are attempting, by all unscrupulous
and dastardly means in their power,
to crush our brother unionists there,
and to that end have imported ex-
convict gunner and hired murder
ers, who have slugged, shot and
murdered the striking miners, their
wives and children; and
whereas, The inviolate and in
alienable sacred rights of American
citizens have been trampled under
foot, in utter disregard of the con-
stitution; and
whereas, Recognizing CnaC the
defeat of our brothers in Calumet
would constitute defeat for the en-
tire labor movement of the world; be
it here
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Anti-Hearst Trade Union
League, in regular convention assem-
bled, denounce the bloody murder
ers, who own and control the Calu-
met copper mines, and who have, by
their despicable actions, caused wide
spread misery to innocent women
and children, and to our brothers
who are engaged in a righteous
struggle for existence.
"And we further denounce the re-
dictionary and pusillanimous stand
taken by Governor Ferris, in refusing
to comply with the constitution of the

MOYER SAYS FIGHT WILL BE TO
A FINISH
President Charles H. Meyer an
nounced last night that the Western
Federation of Miners would fight the
Michigan mine owners to a finish and
would win.
This announcement came after
conference with John B. Densmore,
representing the United States Dept
of Labor, who said that all his own
efforts at mediation would be futile
on account of the antagonistic atti-
tude the mine owners had assumed.
Densmore is on his way to Wash
ington to submit his report to Secre-
tary Wilson. On the strength Of this
report a federal investigation will
probably be asked for.
Meyer, who was able to leave St.
Luke's hospital for the New Gault
Hotel, was still, however, in a weak
ened condition, but said that as soon
as he was able to travel he was going
back to Michigan and assume charge
of the strike. The Citizens Alliance
have threatened to kill him if he goes
back.
When the executive board of the
American Federation of Labor meets
in Washington on Jan. 19 President
Meyer will appear before that body
and ask it's further aid in settling the
strike. And to that body will be left
the final decision in regard to calling
a general strike.
Vice-President Charles E. Mahoney
arrived in Chicago last night from
Washington and Immediately went
into conference with President
Meyer.

proceeding with his campaign sfor

'1n Offering myself as candidate
for congress on the Progressive plat
| form was governed by three rea.
sons:
Il believe that the publicly express.
ed dissatisfaction with the methods
of the present delegate was so nearly
universal as to voice the desire OF
the Territory as a whole for change
! in our representation at Washington;
believed that the prosperity of the
territory and the welfare of its com
mercial interests demanded protec-
tive tariff; knew that the National
Progressive platform offered such a
protective tariff to the industries Of
the territory, besides embodying
many social and economic reforms In
which / whole-heartedly believe.
Very New Ye4
'"That the primary vote CT the Pro,
gressiye party here in Hawaii was so
| light is no Encouragement to me. The
organization is new one and lacks
| the cohesion that only time can bring
about; its doctrines are still un.
known to the majority of the voters,
and its opponents are strongly en-
trenched in officialdom. Add to this
the insistent demands made upon. the
hurriedly organized forces of the Pro
gressives to take part in the Repub-
lican factionaI struggle, and the re-
suit is easily understood.
Sole Means to ohaage. ~. e
"To my MIND, now stand not only
as the nominee of the Progressive
party, but as a means-and the sole
means-by which the prediction
clamor for change in delegate may
be satisfied without "a corresponding
change in the policy of protection to
our industries. ~, h
Il offer my services to those who
hold community interests above par,
| ty interests; to those who hold that
| promises are worthless unless their
obligations are fulfilled and service
rendered, to the letter and in the spi'
rit; and to those who believe that the
advancement of local interests can
be achieved only by an unremitting
campaign before the congress of the
United States. :...-e H. -

leave no legitimate means untried in

of time or trouble to myself.

ELECTION OF FOREIGN
POPE NOT EXPECTED

Rome Aug, 23-Requiem mass 8 were
celebrated in st. Peters and in all the
Catholic Churches in Rome to-day. Thou
sands of persons visited st Peters to
pay tribute before the Altar of Con-
fession under which the body of Pope
Plus rests.
The third meeting Of the congregation
of cardinals was held to-day, and the
question of the conclave for the election
of a new Pope was discussed,
It is hardly possible that a for ign
Pope Will be elected. This removes min =
teen cardinals from the candidacy; and
II Is also considered unlikely that the
Pontiff would be chosen from among the
cardinals above 70 years of age thus
eliminating 25 more. Finally there are
five cardinal deacons, who, according to
tradition, could never be elected,
Thus the choice would lie among six
teen, some Of whom are believed TO be
obviously out of the question, leaving
Cardinals Ferrari, Mani, Gasparri
Pompili, De Lai and possibly one or two
others to select from.

OF n. E. T. & 7. co.

Rutland, Aug. 2o-There is good pros

to l., n. Whitney, general commercial
superintendent for the company, and G.
II. Dresser general plant superintendent,
both Of Boston, who have been looking
over this city with a view to selecting

will have offices in the new Wright &

verified.
Burlington formerly had the state Of

the clerical work has been handled by

enough to accommodate a State office
