Peace Efforts
Fail of Result
FEDERAL SOLICITOR ARANDONS
UNDERTAKING
BLAMES MINE OWNERS
Declares That They Are Making a
Pay Visit to the Copper District.

Houghton, Mich, Jan. 4.-Negotia-
tions for the settlement of the copper
miners strike having failed. both sides
to the controversy tonight began to
lay plans for meeting a prolongation
Of the struggle.
Governor Ferris tonight decided to
make personal inspection of the con-
ditions prevailing in the copper region,
while John B. Densmore, solicitor for
the department of labor, started for
Washington, regretting his failure to
bring about a settlement.
Governors Visit Arouses Interest.
Great interest was aroused in the
upper peninsula tonight by the an
nouncement that the governor was
coming to take a hand in the situation
at close quarters. He has resented
suggestions of federal action in "af-
fairs that concern the state only" ac-
cording to his statements. 1t is be-
lieved that he will gather data in the
strike field on which he may base any
future action he may take to help end
the contest between the mine owners
and their former employees.
Meetings were held by the strikers
at Calumet and Hancock today, but no
definite action was taken.
Copper mine owners Of northern
Michigan made a mistake in refusing
peace plans proffered by the Western
Federation of Miners, was the judg-
ment pronounced by John B. Densmore,
solicitor for the department Of labor.
Washington tonight. For the first
time since his arrival in the district,
Mr.. Densmore broke silence as to the
conditions he found here.
"A generation ago the anthracite
mine operators of Pennsylvania adopt
ed precisely the attitude taken by the
copper mine managers" he said. Sim
liar stands have marked the action of
employing interests in the initial
strikes of practically every big indus
try.
Miners Invariably Come Back.
The idea seemed to be that by win
ming the first strike the employer
crushed the union. Speaking entirely
from the historical viewpoint, 1 think
1 can safely say that this course has
failed. Unionism becomes an ideal
among its devotees and defeat for any
the thought of the men who took part
in it's organization and fought in its
ranks.
THE seeming inability of union to
realize when it is beaten is simply a
manifestation of this individual
men, Almost invariably they have
come back for another struggle. some
times in a. year. perhaps not for five
years. or even later. But come back
they do.
Bitter Fight in Prospect.
'Tt seems a pity. therefore, that the
copper country must sooner or later
face another struggle even If this one
results in seemingly complete victory
for the mine owners"
That the outcome Of the present
strike will not be settled without a
bitter fight was indicated by today's
happenings Company managers rest
ed on their plans for filing up work
ing forces with non-union men from
outside places. Union circles were
more active and meetings were held in
Hancock in the morning and in Calu-
met in the afternoon.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The ripple OF
interest caused by the unexpected visit
to Pass Christian of John Lind and his
three hour conference at night with
resident Wilson. has died away and
the officials here have settled down
TO another period of patient waiting
upon internal developments in Mex
leo. Any important change in the re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico, they believe, must follow some
action taken by the Mexican factions.
The Sequel to Huerta's Downfall.
It has been hinted that during his
Elk months stay in Mexico, Mr.. Lind
has arrived at certain conclusions that
are not entirely reassuring as to the
ability of the constitutionalist leaders
to erect a stable and satisfactory gov
erument in the event General Huerta
finally releases his hold upon the reins
of power. 1t is believed here that the
conference on board the cruiser Ches
ter related in part of the conditions
that may arise in Mexico following
the end of the "crumbing" process
and the elimination of Huerta.
Will Repudiate Huerta's Loan.
1t is known that state department
officials have been giving thought to
IHe likely TO De acCOTOGd
the foreign creditors and other claim
ants against Mexico by the victorious
constitutionalists. particularly in view
of the proclamation by Governor Car
rama early in the rebellion of his
intention to repudiate all loans made
10 the Huerta government. Some of
the money loaned to the Huerta gov
ernment came frmom the United
States, but the larger portion was con-
tributed by European 1nanciers. Con-
sequently the necessity of some pro-
li1ninary understanding between the
United States and the probable sue
cessors to the present regime already
has been considered, with the purpose
of preNenting dangerous collisions
with the European governments and
clos to protect the rights Of Ameri-
can claimants. -------
Naval ManoeuVres.
Prepara rations by the navy for the
winter manoeuvres in West Indian wa
ters have led to the renewal Of reports
that several of the great battleships of
the Atlantic fleet which made the Eu-
rOpean cruise are to be diSpa tched to
Mexican waters. At the navy depart
ment. it was said the original plans
made for the manoeuvres remained un-
changed. except as they have been
necessarily modified by the diversion
OF so large a portion Of the fleet to
patrol dutp on the Mexican coast
IT is frankly admitted, however, that
the ships at Culebra, Porto Rico, or
Guantanamo. Cuba, would pe much
more available for Mexican service
than il they were living in New York
harbor and Hampton Roads and that
they would be ordered to Vera Cruz
or any other Mexican port the moment
the state department called for them.
Losses at Oiinaga and Neuvo Laredo.
The principal function of the Amer

manitarian; the soldiers are succor-
