SAVE THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN


The following communication has
been sent out by the State Game War
den department to all deputy game
wardens requesting that special at
tention be given TO safeguarding
prairie chicken and quail from the
destructive deep SHOWS and intense
cold weather. Farmers are asked to
cooperate with the game wardens by
providing suitable grain food. II any
farmer in this locality has need OF
such feeding the same will be furnish
ed upon application being made to
Game Wardens OF this county. The
communication follows:
Believing that Bob-White's future
in Michigan depends largely on the
active protection and care extended
by the Game Warden's department and
the friendly cooperation OF the farmer
and sportsmen, Commissioner Oates
directs me to write you and all other
deputies located in territory where
quail and prairie chickens exist, re-
questing that special attention be
given to the safeguarding of these
birds from the destructive effect of
the deep SHOWS and intense cold wea-
Their
"The campaign to save these birds
should be actively taken up at once
and you are requested to interview as
many farmers as possible at their
homes and in towns and villages of
your district, on market days, with a
view of enlisting their cooperation
in this work.
I'VE believe that the average Michi-
gan farmer will gladly give SO much
of his time and sufficient suitable
grain food as is necessary TO save
such coveys OF quail and prairie chick
ems as may be found about his farm
buildings or on his premises, during
the winter months. II in carrying
out this work you find conditions, that
in your judgment warrant the pur-
chase of wheat screesings, grape, yetch
seed or other suitable food. such
claims will be allowed and paid by this
department.
"Ali claims for grain or seed pur-
chased or furnished for feeding quail
or other game birds in your district,
must be approved by you and we urge
you to see to 1t that we get value re-
ceived for all money expended in this
work of saving these cheerful friends
OF the farmer in Michigan.
Sincerely yours,
DAVID Il. JONES,
Special Assistant"

ORE PRICE REVISION

During the holidays, there has been
a lull in ore buying, following the very
heavy buying OF earlier weeks, but IL
is expected that the market will be-
come livelier at an early date. A
slight change in quotations has been
made by reducing the price OF old
range ores cents per ton. making old
range bessemer s4.45 and old range
non-bessemer 1870, instead OF $3.50
and 1915, respectively, az quoted az
the opening OF the market. While
large quantities of the ore were sold
at $3.50 and 1916. some sales were
made at cents less and sellers gen
orally have agreed TO conform TO the
lower prices which establish the Diff
ferential OF 10 cents between old
range non-bessemer and Mesabi non
bessemer which prevailed prior to
June / OF last year At that time. ow-
ing to the reduction in freight rates.
the delivered price of Mesabi ores was
reduced cents per ton.
Statistics compiled by The Marine
Review from the returns sent in by
the various dock companies show that
Lake Superior ore receipts at Lake
Erie ports in 1915 were 37.332,42s
gross tons, out OF a total movement
by lake OF 46,31s,So4.

shipments thus showed an increase OF
nearly AT per cent or an increase or
60 per cent greater than those for the
whole United States. II ia therefore
possible that when complete returns
are received the shipments for the
whole United States will be even
greater than 100000 tons.
The shipments OF iron ore from all
the important districts of the United
States. except the West. showed in
creases. The Birmingham and other
Alabama districts are estimated to
have shipped TO blast furnaces 1884,
900 gross tons, compared with 4,O3I,-
052 tons in 1914, an increase OF SS per
cent; other southeastern States, in
GLIDING Georgia. North Carolina, Ten
nessee, and Virginia, shipped approx
mately $4,000 gross tons, compared
with 6i9.769 tons in 1914, an increase
OF IL per cent. Northeastern States,
including New York. New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania, shipped approximately
l,34l.000 gross tons of iron ore,
chiefly magnetic, compared with l.
10S.335 tons in 1914, an increase OF 81
per cent The iron ore estimated 10
have been shipped from western mines
approximates 476.000 gross tons. COM
pared with 45S,223 tons in 1914. de-
crease of 1.9 per cent. Smaller guam
titles we're shipped from mines In
other States, and IL Is believed that
most OF these showed small increases.
Stocks of iron ore at mines are es-
timated TO have decreased from A.
36l .625 gross tons at the close OF 1914
to about 100000 tons at the close of
1915.
During the early part OF 1915 the
demand for iron ore was light. A
slight Improvement was recorded by
the middle OF the year, but in the lat
ter part of the summer the trade be-
came very active and the season clos
ed with record shipments for the last
few months OF the season AS a result
OF this activity iron ore prices were
advanced rs cents ton for the season
of 1915
The steadily upward course OF pig
iron production through the year 1915
is of interest in connection with the
increase in ore production. Beginning
with an average daily production OF
slightly over 81 900 tons in January
the blast furnaces OF the United States
were turning out metal at the rate OF
over 101 900 tons a day in November.
a gain of nearly 100 per cent During
the first months OF 1915 both the daily
average production and the monthly
production OF pig iron, although stead
lily increasing, were below the CORES
ponding figures for 1914; but in May
considerable excess was shown, as
well as in each month since then. |
Based on the October November rate
OF increase it seems probable that the !
total quantity OF all kinds OF pig iron |
in the United States in !
1915 may approximate 100000 gross |
tons. or almost that of the record year,
1913. The production in 1914 was 2S,
1872 ,244 gross tons, so that an increase
of 6,500,OO otns, or nearly % per cent, |,
is practically assured. In the last
eight months prices of certain grades
OF pig iron have advanced $3.50 10 !

CALL STRIKE OF
100000 WORKERS
Attempt Will Be Made to Aid
Carmen' Union Win Battle
In New York-TroubIe
Is Feared.

New York. Sept. 25.-Trades unions
In the city and W-estchester county to-
day began to vote on the question of
r%atifying the action of 80 delegates who
yesterday called for a general suspen-
sion of work" next Wednesday morn
ing. The labor chiefs appealed to all
union wage earners to stay at home
until the traction companies made 1t
possible for them TO ride in the street
cars without offense to their union al
%legiance.
1t is asserted that no such action
heretofore has been taken by the trades
unions of this country. nor has a strike
involving so many trades ever been
called. Its maximum effect would call
from work 100000 men and women.
The Unions Involved.
Following is a partial list of the un-
ions involved in the call for a suspen-
sion of work:
Milk handlers. bartenders. walters, beer
brewers. house wreckers. musicians, bar
bers, cigarmakers. ladies' garment cut
ters, pa~perhangers, pipe catlkers and
phone workers. glass workers. pressmen,
painters. plumbers, neckwear cutters.
f%urriers. c~loak1nakers, a~malgamated lith-
ographers, cap makers, stationary engi-
neers, carpenters. decorators. leather
goods workers, cigar packers, united hat
tiers, deck carpenters, printers. cooks.
retail clock workers. web pressmen,
bookkeepers. stenographers. accountants.
Transfers, i%ourneymen tailors. pipe cut
tiers. theatrical spotlight workers.
Leaders of the movement refrain
from calling 1T a sympathetic strike.
They declare hist many of the unions
already nave voted to ratify their rec
concentrations and that any union man
who does moi quit work Wednesday will
be denounced as a traitor.
: To what extent they expect the UNI
ions to respond to the suspension call
Is not disclosed. How can / tell? 1t
Is up to the unions" ss1d Hugh Frayne,
general organizer of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor for New York. 1t is
pointed out that Wednesday is the be-
ginning of an important Jewish holi-
would stay at home.
Union Men Incensed.
The call for a cessation of work is
based on the grievance that men of UNI
ion affiliations cannot ride TO their en-
ployment except in cars manned by
%aonunion conductors and motormen
and under police protection. Statements
Issued by the leaders indicate thar they
Ing that he stood ready to use military
power to restrain violence n that
they consider the city to be dominated
by the traction interests.
To reinforce the police, Commissioners
Woods has instructed the captains to
select 10 civilians in each precinct to
be sworn III as special policemen. This
would add about 800 men TO the de-
partlnent.

New York, Sept. 25.-For a week end

Stock Exchange was probably without
parallel. Trading in the first hour
amounted to more than 500, 900 shares

approach OF the close.
There were numerous spectacular
features, but all were eclipsed by the
further meteoric rise in United States
Steel, which touched ,.117h, a new
record. shortly after II O'Clock.
Other leaders rose to highest prices
in their history, notably coppers. Deal
ings embraced every branch of the list,
but the movement was far from uni
form. rails making comparatively little
Roadway, with r~eactionary tendencies
in shipping issues and some equipments
and munitions.

ian aeronauts. who with two seaplanes
rescued 30 men-the officers and crew
of the French submarine Foucault-is
described by the Tageblatt. Official
announcement was made at Vienna yes
terday of the sinking of the Foucault
by an Austrian %seaplane in the south
ern Adriatic.
The sea was rough at the time and
there was also danger that the Austrian
aeronauts would be captured by hostile
warships. as we'll as that the aero
planes, overloaded by taking on so many
men. might collapse. The Austrian avi-
ators told the men from the French
submarine to swim to the seaplanes and
take hold Of them. TIL commander
and second officer of the submarine
were allowed to climb into the pilots
seats.
The aviators signaled for help and
half an hour later a torpedo boat ar
rived and took on board the Ynen fron,
