CONGRESS IS SLOW
SAYS PRESIDENT
"FREIGHT SCHEDULE" BEING
USED INSTEAD OF "ExPRESS
SCHEDULE" is CHARGE.

Washington, ID. c., April l3.-Propos-
ais in congress to curtail the admins
tration trust legislative program was
not regarded today with favor by Presi-
dent Wilson. He said that while he
had heard suggestions to cut the pro-
gram short and enact only a trade COM
mission bill, he deemed it necessary to
keep faith with the country and carry
out measures for comprehensive trust
reform.
Mr.. Wilson was askca If he believed
congress could dispose Of the trust pro-
gram and other pending questions and
get away from Washington by the
middle Of summer and he laughingly
remarked that If an express schedule
instead of freight schedule were
adopted there would no difficulty. He
added that he did not mean the cutti' g
off of necessary discussion but that the
commission should work very hard and
prepare legislation which he believed
could be promptly disposed Of.

COPPER STRIKE
BROUGHT TO END
Michigan Miners Decide By
Big Vote to Give Up in
Long Drawn Fight
MAKE MAD RUSH TO
REGAIN THEIR JOBS
Operators Are Successful in
Forcing Men to Give
Up Union Cards

Hancock, Mich. April 13.-The cop.
per mine workers who have been on
strike since July 23rd last, voted yes
terday to call off the strike, accord
ing to an announcement made today
by Charles E. Hietela, district secre.
tary of the western federation of
miners, The figures will not be given
out until after meeting of the district
board this afternoon.
It is unofficially reported that the
majority in favor of calling off the
strike was 1,0c3. The unofficial vote
from four of the five locals in the dis.
trict resulted as Follows:

Hancock 491 for, 18 against.

Union Not Recognized.
Recognition Of the union, denied by
the mining companies, Is waived by
the strikers in voting to return to
work. They claim that practically all
of their demands hace been complied
with since the strike began. These de-
mands included better working condi-
tions, an eight hour day and a mini
mum daily wage of So.
From the outset the operators have
declared that they would never recog
nize the Western Federation of Min
ers although they have maintained
that they do not question the right of
their employees to organize. Several
thousand men have been imported to
lfall the strikers places and the COM
panies will be hard pressed to find
work for the returning strikers.
When the strike began the union
claimed that approximately 10000 men
were out. Since that time many of
these have returned to work and 9TH
ers have moved away from the copper
district. The latest estimate of the
number on strike, made by Secretary
Hietela, placed the figure at about six
thousand. The mining company esti-
mates were much smaller.
The strike has been attended by con-
siderable violence and there has been
