u S. INQUIRY INTO
COPPER WAR RAKED
Quincy 4. Shaw, Head Of Calu-
met and Hecla, Criticises
Federal Report.

Boston, Jan. 12-Quincy "A. Shaw.
president of the Calumet and Hecla Min
ing Company. issued tonight a reply TO
the report Of the Department OF Labor
Investigators who have been looking
into the strike In the Michigan copper
mining country He says the report, it
correctly published In the newspapers,
contains many untruthful statements. Mr..
Shaw's reply follows:
After Secretary Wilson'S speech in
Seattle II was to be expected that his
subordinates would make a reply which
would be highly colored In favor OF the
strikers. The publication of the report
is also well timed to assist the strike
leaders In arousing false sympathy through
Misrepresentation
so far as II contains Information given
by the companies the report could have
been published months ago II there WIS
any genuine desire to have the public
know the conditions under which the mel,
worked.
Extracts from the report which ap-
peared in the papers. lf accurately quoted.
contain many misstatements. The re-
port states: Before the strike began
James A Cruise, Sheriff of Houghton
county. had sworn In about leo deputies
at the request Of the mining companies
This Is absolutely untrue 81 far ~
concerns the eight or ten companies in
which l am interested. and l believe II
TO be absolutely untrue AS to the other
companies No request was made until
after the strike began on July 23.
THE report says; a number of strik-
ers have been killed and others injured
In the use OF arms In the possession OF
waddell men. This convicts the Wad-
dell men before their trial The record
OF those killed to date is as follows:
1.-TWO strikers who are said 10 have
resisted deputies, one striker who was
connected with the brutal murder OF
Deputy Pollock. ON the other hand. three
non union men shot to death while lying
In he'd and hundreds OF men. whose only
offence was desire to go to work. have
been attacked and so cruelty beaten that
they required medical attention at our
hospitals"
CALUMET, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE interest
OF the strike district is centred In the
meeting OF the American Federation OF
Labor council In Washington on January
10 and OF the Western Federation OF
Miners council IN Denver this week.
1t IS recognized that the continuance OF
the copper strike lies in the hands of
these two organizations. The further
support OF the Western Federation Of
Miners In this district by the American
Federation OF Labor Is a question which
will be considered at the Washington
meeting.
There have been persistent rumors for
two or three days that the support of the
American Federation would be withdrawn
from the Western Federation.

WARRINGTON, Jan. l2.-The post ofr'ce

day by the Committee on Post Offices

the grain shipped in is due to crop
