Calumet, Mich, Jan. 5.-Interest in
the copper miners strike in the north
ern peninsula centered today in the
expected arrival here of Governor Fer
ris, who will endeayor to bring about
a settlement of the prolonged strike
called by the Western Federation Of
Miners.
The governor will arrive in the
strike zone but few hours after the
departure last night Of John B. Dens-
more, solicitor for the department. Of

ter failing to bring together the oper-
ators and strikers
Little Hope Of Settlement
Facing another investigation Of the
strike situation, this time at the
hands Of the governor of the state,
company managers and Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners leaders today pre-
pared to open up every avenue Of
information which the state executive
may eesire to explore. At the same
time both sides to TIE controversy
were dubious as to the ability of Gov
ernor Farris and state Labor Com
missioner Cunningham to find any
lasting solution of sae problem.
The most general opinion was that
signs of further activity in federal
circles, and particularly in regard to
the deportation of Charles H. Meyer,
president of the nderation, were
responsible for the governors de-
termination to visit the district 1t
was pointed out that the governor
spurned every invitation to come
here when the strike started last July
and had manifested little intention
since of projecting his personality
into the situation. Some union
sources, in fact, said that the time
in which he could have accomplished
anything towards settling the strike
had passed long ago.
At least one phase Of the contro-
versy remains for the state executive
to work on. John B. Densmore, Of
the federal department Of labor, failed
to end the strike after he had first
learned how far the union would go
and then had tried to persuade the
companies to meet 1t. so far as could
be learned the employers never have
been asked officially to give their
s.Iast word. and the governor may
find some unsupported field for eft
fort in that quarter.

All that Is contained N this report
by way Of threats has been stated
time and again since the Federal
league began its operations. 1t has
not in any instance thrown fear into
the hearts Of either the players or
the owners OF the Federal league. .
1T seems to me-" said Mr., Gates,
that Mr. Hermann ought to have
been little more explicit in just
what he means by the statement
The established privileges of national
agreement clubs Is it possible that
organized baseball, through its years
of tyrannical rule and usurpation, has
secured certain privileges and i'm
munities which do not belong to other
organizations in the country?
'The public should remember the
numerous attempts that were made
last summer to induce Federal league
players to jump their contracts. We
have said over and over again that
we will not attempt to get any player
to break a contract-in spite of the
actions of the major league clubs
last summer in trying to do them
selves things they would term un-
sportsmanlike in u.s.

Cincinnati, jan 5.-Prominent per
sonages in the world Of organized
baseball, including the members Of
the national commission, representa-
tiyes of several minor leagues and
club owners in the two major leagues
we're here today for meeting of the
national commission
The meeting will be important, as
not only will the commission have to
consider the claims of the recently or
ganized Ball Players Federation, but
the encroachment of the Federal
league on organized Baseball VIII aie
SO have to be discussed.
A distinct warning to the Federal
league not to infringe on what clubs
in the national agreement consider
their rights, is given in the annual re-
port of August Herman, chairman of
the National Baseball commission,
made public here today.
The Federal league, which operated
clubs in 1918 in territory occupied by
national agreement clubs, did not at
tain prosperity or prestige" says the
report. "A passive policy has been
pursued by the commission and the
league directly affected toward that
organization, but if the contractural
and reservation rights Of national
agreement clubs are not respected by
the Federal league promoters, it may
become necessary to employ strenuous
measures for the protection Of the in
terests Of major and minor league
clubs.
Rivalry will not be resented So
long as league ana Club i4ghEs are
not ignored, but Illegal ana uhsports-
manlike interference with and utter
disregard Of established privileges Of
national agreement clubs will justify
the adoption Of vigorous defensive
measures" ri
Hosts of baseball men from all
parts of the country were here today.
The minor league magnates were in
the majority.
Among the leading lights of base
ball who are attending the meeting
are President Navin Of Detroit; Sec
retary Bernard of Cleveland; Robert
Hedges of the st. Louis Americans;
Miller Huggins Of the St. Louis Ma
tionals; Owners NcGill and Hendricks
of the Indianapolis and Denver teams;

ton of the American association; Man
ager Heron of CINCINNATI; Mr.. Ray,

A committee from the national

however, were willing to concede in
the next breath that there was little
likelihood Of the employers receding
from their stand that only men who
would renounce all afFiliation with
the union would be received as work
men.
A continuance of this policy would
constitute a stone wall as far as
union sentiment is concerned.
Additional workmen were reported
as having enlisted wrin the companies
this morning. One coachload of non
union men reached the Quincy mine
from Chicago, and the management
of that mine announced that almost
as many more of the former men
had turned in their union cards and
had gone back to work. Several
mines said they had visits from vol
unteer workmen who had come to the
copper country Of their own volition.
The possibility that these individuals
might be union agents made the man
ayers hesitate in hiring them.

WHAT ONE LETTER DID.

Walking down Main street the
other day with a well-known business
man, the News mans attention was
called to a printed sign on the show
window at Baldwin Bros. meat mar
ket which had evidently once read
Home Killed Meats" but which had
been changed by some mischevious
person rubbing out one letter which
made it read, Home Killed Eats
81 was in Louisville not long ago."
said the business man, "and while
walking down Market street | saw a
sign in the window of an old building
that had apparently once read Eat
Friends Oats But by altering the
first letter of the last word and taking
one letter out of the second word some
wag had made it read Eat Fried Cats
ct reminded me of the prank play
ed in the old City School in Paris,
away back in the days when Prof.
Pickett was principal, in which he
neatly turned the trick on the village
cut-up, instead of being made the
sufferer. -
''The old school was then sort of
co-educatiOnal institution, the boys
and girls being seated together. One
morning Prof Pickett had written in
chalk on the blackboard a notice
which read, Owing to an indisposi-
tien I am unable to attend to my
classes this morning. AS all the old
boys who attended the old school will
recall Frank Terry was one of the.
wags and was continually in mischief.
On this particular morning Frank was
one of the earliest arrivals, and when
he caught sight of that notice he
promptly stepped up to the board and
rubbed out the letter &C from the
word classes The notice then read
Owing to an indisposition | am unable
to atted to my lasses this morning
prof Pickett recovered rather un-
expectedly and upon returning to his
class room about an hour later hap
paned to glance up at the blackboard
and saw the sign. Stepping up to the
board he took up the rubber and
erased the - from the word lasses'
in the notice, and the sign then read
owing to an indisposition I am unable
to attend to my asses this morning.
"There were no further alterations,
and the fact that Prof. Pickett was a |
giant in stature, being over six feet
in height, and built like gladiator |
made the boys accept the situation,
and let the notice read as it was"
