The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-07-07

Duluth sportsmen held an
enthusiastic meeting this week and
among other things recommended
several changes in the existing
game laws.
Chief among the amendments
which were brought up was one
which deals with restricting the
use of firearms to citizens of this
country. 1t will be placed in the
hands of the legislative committee
of the league at the next conven-
ton and will receive the fullest
support of the Duluth branch.
Each year in Northern Minnesota,
hundreds of moose and deer are
slain by men who work in the
mines and lumber camps who have
never taken out their citizenship
papers. The idea of the amend
ment is to prevent these people
from hunting until they shall have
become citizens.
Another recommendation that
received strong support was tina,
the concentration of revenues from
the game and fish sources go into {
separate fund for the use of thu
game and fish department. Proper
protection for inland lake trout anl
land-locked salmon was also favor
ably passed upon. The member
believed that a better definition TO
antlers should be written into tn,

might leave sting.
The speaker dwelt at length on
the duties we owed this country in
exchange for the protection, pers-
onal liberty and citizenship which
this country was furnishing the
foreign born. He characterized
the school system as the melting
pot where the hyphens were re-
moved leaving all just plain Amer
leans without the prefxes of Swed-
ish, German, English, Finnish,
or Slavonic-American. He stated
that the hyphen had no place in
this country but that a reverence
for the land of birth would not nee
essarily needs be eliminated. The
contention was that citizens of this
country should all be American.
Mr.. Williams also shot a few
points into the diciples of the red
flag cult and clearly showed by the
applause that interrupted his talk
that this breed of anarchists had no
place in this country. He spoke of
the conditions of labor and placed
the boss who bounded and cursed
his laborers in the same class as the
anarchist. The stars and stripes
are the flag of the country, said
Mr.. Williams, and those who did
not like it have a perfect right to
get out from under it and get back
where they came from, in fact
should be forced to come in or get
out. Personal liberty" said he is
vouchsafed every man in America
but personal liberty ends right
where it begins to interfere with
the other man.
Mr.. Williams made his address
from the porch of the hospital and
his voice carried to all parts of the
assemblage. He also made the ad-
dress at Winton earlier in the day.
Immediately after dinner the
long program of sports and races
took place at various places in the
city. At 2 O'Clock the ball game
between Two Harbors and Ely was

Advertising Pays

A few weeks ago we printed an
item saying that the Quickprint
shop at Virginia had gotten out a
road map. This week we received
from the Quickprint the following
letter:

osition take note of this.

From the time of raising the flag
at the city staff at o'clock to the
inspiring strains of the Star
Spangled Banner" to along after
midnight there was something do
ing on the Fourth of July.
The committee had arranged a
very pleasing program and were on
hand from early morning to see
that the list was carried through.
The parade began forming at the
city hall as early as 8 o'clock and
it was after 9 before the long
column was started on the move.
Mounted police headed the par
ade followed by the city officers in
carriages. The City band were
next in the procession. Following
the band were the Ely Fire Depart
ment and the long column of
youngsters in fantastic costumes
carrying American flags. The
business floats and decorated auto
mobiles brought up the rear.
The parade wound up at the
Athletic Park where the prizes
were awarded. Every child carry
ing a flag was given a prize and
several were awarded special prizes
for good appearance. J. A. Roth
man was given first money for the
best business display and the Ely
Hardware company second. The
Schaefer automobile was given a
prize for the best decorated machine
and the Ely Fire Department for
having the most men in line.
After awarding the prizes the
people returned to the city hall
where B. E. Williams made the ad-
dress. Mr.. Williams spoke on
Protection, Personal Liberty, and
American Citizenship" and in the
course of his remarks brought forth
many points that left lasting i'm
preston. He opened with the
statement that he would bring out
points which he had not had time
to polish and that some of them

In keeping with this general
patriotic policy the Duluth & Iron

turn from such service, see to it
that they continue in the service of
the company, and will also continue
the payment of their present salary
or wages.

Mr.. William McCurdy
announces the marriage of his
daughter, Mabel Grace
to
Richard James Trezona
on Saturday the first of July
One Thousand Nine Hundred and
Sixteen
Houghton. Michigan
An introduction on the part OF
the Miner of the couple is entirely
superhous as both are we'll and fav-
orally known in this city and
where friends numbered by their
list of acquaintance wish them un-
limited happiness.
Mr.. Trezona is one of the most
popular mining captains of the Pho
neer mine and the younger son OF
Supt. and Mrs. Charles Trezona OF
the Oliver interests on the Vermil-
ion range. He grew to manhood
in this city and is popular among
his employees and a very large
circle of acquaintance. He has
studied the mining game from the
ground up and is recognized as one
of the best of the younger set in the
business.
The bride was supervisor of dom
este science in the Ely schools ur
to year ago when she accepted g
like position at her home city. She
is sister of Assistant Superintend-
ent McCurdy and John R.
McCurdy of the Oliver mines here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trezona will be at
home to their many friends near

termed a strike) fostered by the
I. w. w. band of anarchistie
murderers and kicked-out thugs Of
other labor organizations which is
rapidly devastating the prosperous
towns on the Mesaba range, must
be stopped. These are the orders
received from Governor Burnquist
and the governor further says that
if the authorities of the counties
and cities affected cannot do the
stopping, he will take hand with
the state machinery.
The disgraceful happenings at
Biwabik Monday when James
Myron, respected citizen of Du-
luth, acting as peace officer and
Thomas Ladvalla an innocent
bystander were foully murdered by
men and woman infamed with
passion and disregard for the laws
of the land, was the finishing touch
that has sealed the death knell of
the unsavory outfit known as the
1. w. w.
Since that time the leaders of
the anarchists and those who
did the dirty work have been arrest
ed and are in the county Jail at
Duluth to answer to the charge of
first degree murder before the next
session of the grand jury. Those
arrested so far are. Carlo Tresco,
F. H. Little, Joseph Gildav, Leo.
Schmidt, Sam Scarlett, Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Marsonovich, Joe
Orlandich, Joseph Cernogovich
and Joseph Kerchich. The first
five are held as the instigators of
the crime while the latter outfit
did the actual work.
Deputies Myron, Shubisky and
another officer were. on their way
to serve warrants on Mr.. and Mrs.
Marsonovich for blind plugging.
The woman met the deputies at
the door and with a long pole gave
battle. Shubisky was knocked
down and played psssum to keep
from getting killed. Myron was
shot several times and instantly
killed. Ladvalla. who was passing
stopped to see the fray and was
o1so shot and kil1ed
With the arrest and incarceration
of the leaders. things have become
more quiet Notwithstanding the
words of cheer and the promise of
more Work the Workers" leaders
by Red" Bill Haywood. AS there
is room at the county Jail for a few
more the authorities will do we'll to
get the new leaders as soon as they
show their faces on the ranges or
Duluth. It might also help some
to get few of the local presidents
and secretaries of the several towns
as it is plain that the higher-ups
are getting their information from
these sources.
A list of the non-citizens engag-
ed in the riots and strike" has al
so been prepared and will be given
the immigration officials and it is
very probable that several will &c
back to the country they came
from at the expense of the good old
U. S. A. The Ely list embraces
about two dozen of the band who
use the small pox sign as an en-
blem and who use America simply
as meal ticket. As they want to
fight it will be we'll to send them
back where they can get all the
fighting they want but we will state
right here that shooting in the
back will not do in modern war
fare.
To prove that the affair on the
Mesaba is a riot and not a strike,
it is only necessary to say that up
to date no demands have been
made on any of the mining com
panies in any official manner. The
leaders came tc the towns and at
once began collecting dues and or
dering strike. No demands were

A circular issued by the National
Association of Clothiers says that if
garments sold after the present sea-
son fade, purchasers must learn to
accept the situation" as due to the
exhaustion of supplies of imported
,dyestuffs and the inadequacy of Amer
dcan production. This does not har-
monize with semipolitical official as
surances that practically the dyestuffs
difficulty had met with satisfactory
solution. People who pay good prices
for new clothes will not feel very
Jolly about it If they soon become un-
available for wear; but they will be
much more cheerful If duly warned at
the time of the purchase than If per-
mitted to buy in confidence and left
to find out that they have been sup
piled with stuffs that won't wash or
cant stand the sunlight.

tors have had heretofore has consisted
in reporting the telephone user to

have been taken out as punishment.
But there has been no protection
against the casual user of telephone.
The conviction in the police court is
said to be the first in Ontario, and it
ought not to be the last. The law
deems the using Of obscene language
