Three Members Plead Guilty OF MUIR
der In "A Court az Duluth Saturday.

Three OF the men accused OF murder
in connection with the strike on the
Mesabi range last summer pleaded
guilty III the state court at Duluth
last Saturday and their action was
such a blow TO the organization in
Minnesota that the leaders have de-
cided to leave the Minnesota ranges.
The / w, W has operated contin-
uously for nearly a year and brought
many hardshlps 70 the people Of the
Mesabi range
Ii is understood that lecturers, So
licitors and others who have been on
missionary work, will leave for other
parts ana the headquarters Of tic
order at Sixth avenue west and First
street Duluth, will be closed perma-
nently,
After battling for number Of
months the heads Of the order saw il
would be futile to attempt to keep up
the fight Despite all the labor trouble
which was engendered on the Mesaba
this last summer, the mines continued
TO ship more ore than ever before in
their history. While many Of the un-
foreground properties remained idle
for considerable periods, the great
open pit properties, the largest Of
their kind in the world, were working
day and night and furnishing all the
ore that could be conveniently routed
TO the docks in this city.

mittee in charge of the fund" said
Miss Flynn. we can account for all
OF the money we have collected. We
are all leaving for the range this
evening and will make an accounting
to anyone who has a right to know"
There are all kinds of opinions over
the sensational turn affairs took in
