Chicago Disaster.

Governor Sets Apart Anniversary Of
Chicago Disaster.
St. Paul. - October 9, the anniver-
sary of the Chicago fire in 1871, has
been set apart by Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist as fire prevention day. An
organized effort in cities! and villages
and on farms is to be made at this
time to reduce the fire hazard by
general cleanup, and State Fire Mar
shall, Robert w. Hargadine is urging
that the day be devoted to clearing
away rubbish and leaves from around
buildings in both country and towns;
to removing trash from alleys behind
stores; to inspecting and repairing
flues and chimneys, and to making all
premises as safe from fire danger as
is possible. Fire chiefs have been
asked to make a special inspection of
their towns on that day and to sug-
gest changes to remedy fire hazards
and mayors have been requested to
cooperate by issuing proclamations
calling for special observance of the
day and by giving any directions that
they think may be effective in lessen
ing fire dangers.

|.:N. v. STRIKE ON RANGE ENDS
FORMAL MEETING TO NOTIFY
MINERS CALLED.
Local Unions at Biwabik, Aurora,
Chisholm, Hibbing and Other
Points Vote for Peace.

Virginia. - The strike on the Me-
saba iron range has been declared off
by Industrial Workers of the World.
The votes Of local unions in Biwabik,
Aurora, Chisholm, Hibbing and at
other points have made it impracti-
cable for other striking miners to con-
ttnue the fight. No vote was taken
in Virginia, according to the I. w. w.,
and It is not felt it will be necessary
to take any further votes.
Renounce Membership.
1t is stated that a general vote on
whether to continue the strike or not
was ordered to every town and in
every I. w. w. local. The results
were SO strongly in favor of return
ing to work that the central strike
committee is expected to notify the
men that the strike is a thing of the
past. The meeting of the l. w. w.
here was planned for Sunday with
that announced intention.
Striking miners who will go back to
work are not willing to appear in any
further parades, or in any manner ad-
nit they are members of the I. w. W.,
since strikers are finding it difficult
matter to secure employment.
Plead Not Guilty.
Duluth. - Carl Tresca, Sam Scar
lett and Joe Schmidt, Industrial Work
ers Of the World organizers, together
with Philip Masonovitch and his wife,
Joe Nickich, John Orlandich and Jo-
seph Gernagorcervich, must go to trial
for the alleged murderous assault upon
Edward Shubisky at Biwabik on July
3. Myron and Shubisky were deputy
sheriffs. Each defendant has entered
a formal plea of not guilty.
