When you find your windows

VIRGINIA, Mimi. July s.-Five

Elba Gilbert, Genoa, Eveleth, Virginia,

one month ago. when the differences
that have caused three deaths and
four injured started.
Practically every underground prop
erty on the Mesaba iron ore range is
closed. Open pits are working few
men with steam shovels, but the ma
jority of mining on the range Is un-
derground.
County Attorney Warren Green to-
day said he would charge agitators

ing Of three on the range, with first
degree murder. These, he said. by
infiammatory speeches, are respon-
sible for the strike. Tho agitators
were twenty-five miles from the scene
of the shooting.
Picketing continued today with hun
dreds Of miners keeping watch, but

tory affected Is in one county. Sheriff
Meining has 1000 armed deputies who
fairly well control the situation. ].
w. w. leaders from Chicago were ex-
pected on the range late today.
Sheriff Meining has asked that they
not come. Absence Of any agitators
and disarming of all except his 1000
deputies he said today would prob
ably solve the difficulties. The miners
today asked for conference with
the operators. They claim they are
willing to submit arbitration to a
board of arbitrators; that they will
modify demands and not demand
recognition of the l. w. w. They will
demand fair working agreement and
a working contract before returning
to work. Practically every strike
leader was in Jail at Duluth today.
They were taken there for safekeep-
ing following the killing Of James
Myron, deputy, and Thomas Ladvalla,
bystander, and the killing of a
miner here last week.

GREAT SATISFACTION

MEXICO CITY, July 8.-That Sec
retary Of State Lansing has pledged
the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico in his answer to the
Mexican note, Is the popular belief
here.
The people are awaiting expectant-
ly for the contents of the note. 1t Is
the general impression that the Unit
ed States abandons the idea of In
tervention and expresses a willing
ness to negotiate future difficulties.
1.-THE American reply. which merely
expressed a willingness to continue
the negotiations, evidently has not
been made public in Carranza's CAP
ital]
There is great satisfaction over
the reports that Mexico and the Unit
ed States will reach both a peaceful
and practical solution OF their dif-
ficulties Sentiment has undergone
a marked change and it is quite like
ly that demonstrations and parades
to show friendly feeling for the Unit
ed States will be held tomorrow.
To Relax Embargo.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The war
department considered today relaxing
its embargo along the Mexican bor-
der. It will not permit, however,
shipments of arms and ammunition
to the Mexicans at this time.
On the other hand. supplies of a
general character, which have fallen
under the embargo, probably will be
permitted to pass freely for week
or two. The occasion for the Pro-
posed relaxation is the difficulty en-
countered by General Pershing in
getting his own supplies through by
private means.
Movement Of the troops northward
in Mexico and persistent reports that
Villa is alive are keeping the depart
mel,t on the alert for possible trou-
bel.
The state department believes sto-
rfes that Villa is still alive, while
the war department doubts them.
On the state departments view
the stay of General Pershing's forces
in Mexico would be Justified. The
war department idea is that no jus
titication can be found. Troops will
not be withdrawn, however, pending
negotiations between the defacto and
American governments over border
patrol and other border difficulties.
