VOTE TO END STRIKE.
Copper Mine Workers Have Been Oul
SINCE July 80.

Hancock, Mich. April 1S.-The cop
per mine workers VIII have been on
strike since July %, last voted yester-
day to call of the strike according to
an announcement made today by Chas.
E. Hietela, district secretary Of the
Western Federation of Miners.
The figures will not be given out un-
til after a meeting Of the district board
this afternoon.
It is unoff1cially reported that the
majority in favor Of calling off the
strike was 1,012.
The unofficial vote from four Of the
five locals in the district resulted as
follows:
Ahmeek, 600 for returning to work;
II against.
Calumet. 2e1 for; 1872 against.
Hancock, 4s1 for; 1s against.
South Range, 4S5 for; 80 against.
Recognition Is Waived.
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
other demands have been complied
with since the strike began. These de-
mands included better working condi-
tons, an eight hour day and mini
mum wage of 50.
From the outset the operators have
declared that they would never recog-
ulAe Inc western eOeIAllOn Oh MlHeES
although they have maintained that
they do not question the right of their
employees to organize. Several thous-
and men have been imported to fill the
strikers places and the companies will
be hard pressed to find work for the
returning strikers. When the strike
began the union claimed that approx
mately Il, 900 men were out. Since
that time many Of these have returned
to work and others have moved away
from the copper district. The latest
Secretary Hietela placed the figure at
about 5000. The mining company es-
Inmates were much smaller.
The strike has been attended by con-
siderable violence and there has been
some loss of life. The national guard
was ordered out in the early days Of
the struggle to assist the civil authori-
ties in preserving order. but there has
been no disorder for several months.

Senator Charges ON the Floor
Of the Senate
That the Rallroad Rate Situa.
tion Is Being Misrepresented.
SYSTEMATIC ClllPllGN WlGEl
To Influence Action of Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Says the Roads We're Never So
Well OF as Now.

Washington. April Ex-senator Cum-
minis charged. on the floor of the sem
ate today. that q persistent and wide
spread campaign was being conducted
to arouse public sympathy for tho re-
quest OF q 5 per cent. increase N
freight rates on eastern railroads. now
pending before the interstate commerce
commission. The senator expressed
confidence that the commission would
decide the question. on its merits. but
said the public was being misled by in
correct and exaggerated statements.
Senator Cummins compared the rail-
road situation with the Panama canal
tolls question, declaring that an ad-
vance in railroad rates, of per cent,
will amount in one year to more than
all the tolls paid by all the ships that
will go through the canal in II or Is
years and more than American coast
wise ships. II they paid full tolls, would
be charged in half a century.
I'm connection with the proceedings
before the commission" he continued,
there is in progress the most compre-
hensive, energetic, and persistent cam
paign that I have ever witnessed. to
make the people of the country believe
that the effort OF the government TO
regulate railways; railway rates and
disastrous failure; that the govern
ment in its endeavor to protect the
people has impoverished the transpor-
tation companies; that 1t has driven
them to the very verge Of bankruptcy
and ruin: that 1t has destroyed their
credit and rendered them incapable of
performing the service which commerce
demands; that 1t has outlawed them
from the confidence OF capital and ex-
lied them from the field of the investor.
