MICHIGAN COPPER STRIKE |SAT AN END Men Will Be Given Posi- tiOns on Renouncing
 Labor Union

Houghton. Mich, April 13.-The strike ol
 the copper miners in upper Michigan
 came to an end today as a result of a referendum vote taken yesterday among the members of the Western Federation of Miners. The strike had been in ef- feet since last July. when 13.00O men. ac-
 oording to the figures of the federation,
 demanded better wages and working con ditions and recognition of the federation.
 Managers of the mines have announced that they will re-employ all men who have not been guilty of violence as soon as they give up their membership in the Western Federation of Miners and places can be found for them. The present working forces are nearly equal numer- ioally, mine managers say. to what they were before the strike. At the time the strike began there was a shortage of miners, and it is said that most of the strikers will be employed as rapidly as they renounce the union and underground
 working conditions permit.

 HOnOrs

Albany, April 1S-A movement to bring about the nomination of William Sulzer as an independent candidate for governor this fall took definite form here today in the incorporation of "the American party" by friends of the de- posed executive.

Anti -Tammany democratic assembly, men, senators and congressman will be selected. together with complete anti Tammany state committee and anti Tammany county committees"
 MT.

SENATE TAXES UP !. ECONOMIC SIDE
 0F TOLLS PROBLEM
Question of Treaty Obliga- tiOns Virtually Excluded. Witnesses Appear Be-
 fore Committee

Washington. April 13.-The economic side of the Panama canal tolls con troversy occupied the Senate inter- oceanic canals committee today to the virtual exclusion of the treaty obliga- tions involved and neither aspect was in evidence elsewhere about Congress At the.White House, however, President Wilson. reaffirmed his belief that re- peal of the exemption from tolls grant ed to American coastwise ships would not constitute an interpretation of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, but merely would indicate the unwillingness of this country to bring up the question of discrimination.
 The President agreed with t.e views recently expressed by Secretary Bryan that no amendment was necessary to the pending repeal bill reaffirming the sovereignty of the United States over the canal.
 Before the canals committee E. T. Chamberlain. federal commissioner of navigation, and Prof. S. s. Huebner of the University of Pennsylvania dis cussed the economic question of tolls exemption in a general way. Professor Huebner for two years was employed as an expert by the House merchant marine committee and data which he compiled as to the coastwise ship ping at that time was laid before the committee today for its information
 No Right of Exemption
 Commissioner Chamberlain declared h t. 1fnf haf ha ff.A bod no right to exempt any of it's shipping from payment of tolls unless it spe- officially provided that the government should meet the expense of passing the exempted ships through the canal and that the exemption should not add in any way to the burden imposed upon foreign shipping.
 opinion on the repeal issue, confining himself to the economic discussion growing out of the statement that the House committee investigation had shown over 90 per cent of the coast wise ships on the Atlantic coast and 50 per cent of those on the Pacific coast were controlled by railroads or "conferences" of steamship companies. so far as rate making is concerned
 The only other witness heard was Walter Wood,s representing the Phil adelphia Chamber of Commerce., who presented resolutions adopted by that body. The sense of the resolution was that inasmuch as the navigation laws of the United States imposed upon American coastwise ships burdens greater than those known to foreign shipping, equal use of the canal should be granted to both; but with the pro- vision that foreign ships carrying to American ports should pay fee equal to the excess in cost of operation and construction under American law. He estimated this at IS cents a net ton and said members of the British Board of Trade in personal conversations with him had expressed willingness to have such a fee imposed in order to equal

 PLAN DEVELOPS
Senate and House Democrats Dis approve Presidents ldea-Con- sideration of Single Measure
 Will Be Hurried

Washington, April 13-Unqualified dis approval was expressed by President Wil- son today of the proposal in Congress to enrtail the antitrust legislative pro- gramme for this session.
