place his official o. K. on the pro-
T'osed militia pay bill.
In other words, the Secretary has
asked officers in the War Depart

ed legislation to include a provision
which will require men joining mill
tia organizations to sign contract
giving the President the right at any
time to send them beyond the boun-
Iaries of the United States.

The Constitution provides that the

The bill will contain stringent pro-
sions for inspection by the War De-

CALUME ET-HECLA
OWNERS SCORED
Labor Department Investiga-
tors Make Sharp Criticism
in Report to Wilson.

Sharp criticism Of the mine owners OF
the Calumet copper mining district, fol
their treatment of both strikers and
strike-breakers, is made in a report
made public by the Department Of La,
oor today. Five propositions for medi-
alton, all of which the employers re-
fused to consider, were set forth. Only
passing reference to the fire tragedy
| on Christmas Eve is made.
The report. comprises formal re-
cital of facts as to conditions in the
copper strike region as observed by
three Department of Labor investlga-
tors sent there in an endeavor to end
the strike.
The investigators state that a number
of riots occurred during the first two
days of the strike, but that il is not
shown that firearms were used by the
strikers at that time. 1t is stated, how
ever. that q number OF strikers have
been killed and others injured by the
use OF guns In the possession of armed
guards supplied by the Waddell ell-Mahone
agency. of New York
Declare Austrians Were Deceived.
Another thing commented on is the
fact that many contracts with strike
breakers secured from the Austro-
American Labor Agency were filed out
in German, with the exception of the
word Strike which was written in
English. probably to comply with the
laws of New York, but evidently in

Two men made affidavits, according

Superior, Wis, to Calumet, where they
were put into an automobile, and taken
to ons of the mining camps.
The data contained in the report given
out today was collected prior to the
shootings at SeeberviIle, the shooting at
Painedale, the fatal panic in Italian
hall at Red Jacket, and the deportation
of President C. H. Meyer, of the West
ern Federation of Miners from Hancock,

In telling of the treatment accorded
strike breakers engaged at certain Chi
cago agencies the report says:
MANY of these make affidavit that
the agent at the agency informed them
the place where they were to work;
that on arrival they were guarded by
deputies and soldiers and were not

Calumet and Hecla Profits Large.
Some of the smaller companies have
been operating at a loss" continues
the report, but the largest company
in the region, the Calumet & HecIa
Company, which employees upward of
50 per cent of the total number of mine
workers engaged in that region, has
had extremely large profits. Its actual
cash capital paid in is LOO, 900. The
total dividends paid from the date of

age wage of all companies in the dis
tTiCt last year was S2.9S. Four months

says, the companies posted notices to
the effect that .heI eafter the minimum
wage would be 50 and the hours of labor

document Approved By Wilson.
Five distinct propositions were drawn
ur by John A. Moffitt and John B.
Densmore. who acted as commissioners Of
cUnCiIiation for the Department at diff
fcI ent times, and were accepted by the
EiinerS but all were rejected by the
I representatives of the companies, on the
ground that they could not deal with
the Western Federation of Miners or
have any of its members in their EN-
FIoy.
The third of these was that the whole
question be admitted to arbitration, with
no member of the federation on the
board of arbiters.
The last proposition to be rejected was
that the companies post notices that
they would re-employ all the strikers
without discrimination relative to their
being members or nonmembers of a
union.
The report was compiled by Walter
E. Palmer, of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, who spent some time in the
Calumet region, and bears the approval
of Secretary of Labor Wilson.
