| Ferris has taken hold of the strike sit
uation in the copper country. With
| his coming Monday a practical truce
went into effect and both sides ex
pressed willingness to await his find
ings before initiating new measures
in the industrial warfare.
John b. Densmore OF the depart
ment of labor announced on Saturday
that his efforts to end the strike OF
copper miners by Cancellation had
failed after he had made a final effort
to bring the warning factions to-
gether.
He did not hesitate to blame his
failure upon the uncOmpromising at
titude of the mine owners, who re-
fused to recognize the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners as a party to arbi-
tration proceedings or other peace
projects.
In nutshell, the question was
whether the union men should go back
to work with or without discrimina-
ton. The companies refused to do
anything but discriminate against
members OF the union" said Mr.. Dens-
more.
1T means a struggle to the bitter
end, said o. n. Hilton, chief of coun-
sci OF the Western Federation OF
Miners, who has represented Presi-
dent c. II. Meyer here since the lat
ter's deportation. The outcome is
due entirely to the attitude OF the
companies. They wanted everything
and would concede nothing"
The unions last word was an ofrer
to withdraw the Western Federation
from the field. its place to be taken by
a union affiliated with the Michigan
Federation OF Labor the United Mine
Workers. with which the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners is affiliated, or some
similar body. This was rejected alb
solutely by the companies. Word OF
the negotiations was telegraphed TO
the secretary of labor by Mr.. Dens-
more. He said that full report OF
the efforts made would be made by
him after his return to Washington.
