MORE COMP |CATED
PRESIDENT MOVER ANNOUNCES
INTENTION TO STAY IN
COPPER BELT.
GRAND JURY Is CRITICISED
Proceedings to Be Attacked in Courts,
1t Is Said-Governor Departs
Without Making Effort to
End Waikout.

Houghton Mich, Jan. 12.-Declara-
ton of Charles III. Meyer that he in
tends to remain in the copper strike
district as long as he pleases, intima-
tions from union sources that the
grand jury proceedings are to be at
tackled on legal grounds, and the de-
parture of Governor Ferris without
his making a direct effort to settle the
trouble marks the progress of the To-
cal industrial war.
Meyer at Mass Meeting.
Mr.. Meyer appeared before mass
meeting of strikers and sympathizers
which crowded the largest hall in
Hancock beyond it's capacity. Except
for his five-minute address the gath
ering had socialistic tinge, the other
speakers including Seymour Stedman
Of the investigation committee, J. w.
Lord of Peoria, ILL.,, and several local
Socialists.
Mr.. Meyer explained that under the
advice of physicians he could not make
an extended address and then said:
Il came back here because I had a
right to. Under the laws of Michigan
and the constitution of the United
States, I am entitled to protection.
Those responsible for my leaving on
December &c violated the laws of the
state and nation by taking the law
into their own hands and committed a
crime for which they must be punished
if there i any law at all in the state
of Michigan.
Shot Was at All.
when the shot was fred into nv
back it was not into Meyer alone, but
that shot reached every miner on the
continent 1t was @ shot in the back
of the working class and especially
into the back of all organized wage
workers"
He said there had been no change
in the policy of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners and then referred to
statement made by Governor Ferris
earlier in the day that advice of out
siders would do more than anything
else to prolong the strike"
The union leader said he had tele-
graphed to the governor that he ac-
cepted the state executives opinion
that a conference between the Icen
and employers would settle the diff
ficulty and asked him to propose such
action Ito bring about a settlement
and get the men back to work"
Interest in Grand Jury.
Interest in grand jury proceedings
was intensified by the governors dec
laration that he would take no execu-
tive action while the judicial machin-
cry of the state was in motion. Init
nations came from the unions attor-
neys that the presence of Grant Eel
lows, attorney general of the state, in
the jury room, had voided the body's
legality and there was no Michigan
law that would permit the county to
hire George Nichols as special prose
cutor under the circumstances in force
here
Mr.. Fellows was quick to defend
his course, saying that he not only
was in the grand jury room, but had
questioned Meyer.
No statute on the Michigan books
prohibited this action and as chief le-
gal officer of the state | had a perfect
right to be present. he said.
