ARGENTINA FACES
SERIOUS TROUBLE
j. H. Budd, Local Representa-
tive, Returns From De
vastated Country.

The Argentine Republic is expert
encing the worst crisis in its history
at the present time, according to ]. H.
Budd, engineer and travelling represen-
tative of the Root & Van Dervoort
company and the Moline Automobile
company in South America.
He has just returned for the third
time and with the exception of two
brief vacation visits to this country.
has spent the last six years in the
southern continent, most of it in Ar
gentine Republic
The crisis to which he refers is
chiefly agricultural, but inasmuch as
the chief natural resource is the soil,
the result is stagnation of the country
in all it's various phases of activity.
And the prime cause of the crisis is
excessive rainfall For the last eight
months there has been continuous
rain. The rain began Nov. 1 of last
year and as yet there is no sign of a
cessation.
SO excessive has been the fall of
rain that it is now regarded as wealth
er phenomenon, and as noted an au
thority as Gill of England has studied
the situation only to be completely
baffled in attempting to explain the
reasons for the continued downpour.
About the time the rainy spell start
ed one of the largest crops of corn
in the history of the republic was a.
most ready to harvest. The harvest is
not yet completed and vast majority
of the crop is an entire loss. Vast
areas of the corn are flooded too deep
to hope to recover the ears and every
where can be seen stalks sprouting
from the husks that encase the grain.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-07-17

TOM FITCH, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers in a speech a few days
ago made use of sound sense that
cannot fail to prove of benefit. If
all organization leaders would talk
like this there would be no violat-
ing and strife in the labor differ
ences: Mr.. Fitch said:
If you don't like the law then
use your vote to change it. But
while it is law, drop the club and
knife and the gun and the dyna-
mite bomb and obey the law. If
there is a worker who has what
you consider to be bad taste, and
the poor judgment not to belong to
a union, you are not obliged to as
sociate with him or greet him with
friendliness when you meet. But
you are obliged not to assault or
modest him. He may be, in your
opinion, scab, but he has a legal
right to be a scab if he chooses.
He has legal right to work for
whomsoever he p1eases, and for
whatever number of hours in each
day he pleases. Persuade him to
stand by his fellow workman if you
can. That is your right. But
keep your hands off him. You
may be sure that if you attempt
violence there will step to the front
deputy United States marshal
who will say to you with voice
of IS, 100000 of people, and with
the bayonets of an army behind
him, Let that man pass to his
labors.' l say to you, gentlemen,
and l say it in all seriousness, that
if this government is to endure,
this thing must stop, for no govern
ment can permanently endure
which long permits bands of insur-
rectionists to override the constitu-
tional rights of its citizens, as this
body of vampires has been doing. J"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-07-17

With this issue of the Miner we
enter on the 10th year of our et-
forts for the City of Ely and its
people. The Miner has been OF
service to the city and its people
during the years it has been in ex-
istence here and expects to con-
tinue for some time to come. We
have tried to do what was right
during the 10 years of residence
here and hope to be able to do what
is right in the future. Differences
arise daily but these differences
should cause no dissentions in the
ultimate outcome of the ambition
of every resident of this city, viz;
to keep Ely the best town of the
northwest.
