Even Living In Furnished Rooms
is Poor Economy

Not only are you deprived of the free
dom that goes with home of your
own, but at the end of the year you
have nothing to show for the money
spent but lot of receipts. Whereas, if
you were paying for your own furni-
ture, bought of us, you wouldn't have
to pay any more per month than you
are now paying for the privilege of
using someone else's furniture. At the
end of few months a payment in full
receipt would be yours and your furni-
ture would be your very own.

Locals Meet Tomorrow.

ago, when suggested 10y President
Moyor as mentioned in the copper
country press. Some of the remain
ng strikers maintain that they could
have secured employment at the local
mines If the strike was ended one
month ago, whereas the chance TO oh
tain employment now is not so good,
FOR the present, at any rate, for prac-
tically all OF the mines have recruited
their working forces to normal or near
Y so.
A prominent official Of the fedora
tion today asserted that the members
on the relief books of the various To-
Gals of the federation in the copper
country are as follows: Hancock To-
cal, 1900; Calumet local 1,55C; Ahmeek
local 1900; South Range local, 1900;
Mass city local, 300.
The loss Of $4,000 per month in the
amount of benefits received here will
be hard one to bear. 1t Will be inn
possible for families that have been
just existing on the measer benefits
received to get along on greatly reduc-
ed benefits. It is claimed the United
Mine Workers will require all of their
resources for months TO come TO care
for the men out Of work in the Ohio
and Pennsylvania fields and there is
no possibility of receiving any further
assistance from that source for the To-
cal strike

meeting in Red Jacket that it is the
purpose of the district union TO create

local members who are unablc 10 Sc

relief FOR those men who will not be
taken back at any time by the local
mining companies. For this reason it
is deemed unwise 10 disburse even the
entire amount which Is now being re-
ceived here.
Officers of the district union would
venture no prediction today as 10 the
result ct the referendum vote. They
asserted the matter is now entirely w
to the members of the local union and
that if the majority of the cast are
IN favor of ending the strike, such ac-

generally. however. that the voting
