which nature fabricates flesh and mus

bleeds at all when he cuts himself ac-

to draw one OF his teeth. The blood
coagulates almost instantaneously. II

DOES SUPREME COURT RULING FORBID RAIL
RIKES?-BROTHERHOO MEN PERTURBED

A-~---Sy VI AGAA4A OcLu 6Ll4hC uClAL4lCAy
aVerted, both railway managers and
brotherhood chiefs turned their
efforts today toward more minute
study of situation they have brought
about.
Railways have surrendered and the
brotherhOOds are undisputed victors,
but both camps are today trying to
salvage as much as possible from the
work of past few days.
Increased freight rates seem sure
to be demanded by railroads to COM
pensate them for S5O,OOO,OO0 a year
increased wages.
In the other camp-the brother
hood chiefs action is directed at the
best possible application of Adamson
eight-hOUr law and one that will pre-
vent law from legislating out strikes
OF employees in "a business of public
interest"
The brotherhood chiefs and their
counsel sat late into night studying
the law the supreme court declared
constitutional. The brotherhoods
are not altogether pleased with the
courts decision.
One part of the law specifically
states the right possessed by en-
plOyes Of "a business charged with a
public interest, and as to which the
power to regulate commerce by con-
gress, applied" is necessarily sub
ject to limitation"
VIM. G.. Lee, trainmen chief, de-
clared he does not believe this sec
ton prohibits strikes.
eve are public servants" he said.
"But we are not government en-
plOyes. Therefore I see nothing in
the supreme courts decision that
would prevent striking"
w. S. Carter, head of firemen, is
enroute back to st. Louis, where he
left his dying daughter to attend con-
ferences here. A telegram late last
night summoned him back.

RULING FORBID RAIL

the right of the government to pre-
vent strikes, railroad managers con-
tended in a statement issued today
A sharp cleavage of opinion has de-
VelOped over this question, brother
hood chiefs cOntending that the rul-
ing of the supreme court does not
give the government such power.
The Switchmen's Union of North
America, which was awarded ten
hour pay for a nine-hour day by an
arbitration board recently, will be
taken care of" when their present
contract, signed for one year, ex-
pires, according to another state

Now comes "the 80 per cent" Of
railroad workers, the shopmen and
other workers not affiliated with the
Big Four brotherhoOds. They say it's

drive.
The railroad department of the
American Federation of Labor open

expect to stay through the week
threshing out plans aimed to attack
the enormous war profits of the rail-
roads and divert a part of those
profits into an eight-hOur day and
higher overtime rate.

shown what can be done through So
hdarity," said a shOpmen's official.

100000 LOSS
Ten Thousand Ewes and
Lambs Killed by Cold
North Of Phoenix.

Flagstaff Ariz-, May 4.-The late
snowstorm in the mountain and pla-
teau sections OF central Arizona caused
a loss of at least 100000 to the sheep
men Of this locality. Most Of the
losses were below Prescott. IN the Big
Bug section, where thousands OF ewes
had Just been shorn before the storm
came Possibly 10000 ewes and lambs
were lost in this single district. Three
thousand Of them were from Canyon
Diablo, the property of r. o. Ray
mond. Further north no shearing had
been done and the sheep stood the
storm with little loss. Some loss Of
lambs is reported from the plains
north of Phoenix. To the southwark
the grass is springing up well after
the late storm and the season now Is
considered assured.

Black Hawk is the only mine in the
United States that is now producing

General manager E. D. Lidstone has a

ton. equal to values of $40 a ton for
nickel and S177S for silver.
The Black Hawk was idle from 1890

COPPER HIGHER
To GOVERNMENT
Principle of Half Price to
Producers to Be Aban-
doned on Big Order.

Bids are being solicited by the gov
eminent from producers for approx
mately 100, 10000 pounds Of copper. in
addition TO the order placed on March
ls last for 100000 pounds. Accord
ing 10 Wall street reports, the pro-
ducers are likely to get a much higher
price than that named in the contract
OF a month ago, a fraction over 16
cents a pound. says the New York
Post.
From the visiting commissioners our
government officials have learned that
England is paying Australia well over
20 cents a pound for all Of the copper
purchased; also that il is the fixed
policy of the British government to
make its allies pay the regular market
price for all supplies furnished. sub
seQuently placing an excess tax on
prosperous industrial companies. Be
cause Of the Information thus OBJ
tanned. Wall street now hears. the
government VIII pay to copper pro-
ducers between 20 and 80 cents a
pound
It was also reported in the financial
district that the government would
abandon its efforts to get steel and
other Industrial manufacturers TO sell
TO England and France and Italy and
AlScAd a. lAAc pllNtS
upon for our army and navy
In discussing the copper situation
one OF the largest producers in the
country said:
Effect on Market.
when the copper producers of this
country as an act Of patriotism agreed
to cut in half the prices OF metal for
the American army and navy uses for
8 period OF a year so as to enable the
government 10 persue its military
preparedness project without being
charged seemingly big profits, we had
no expectation that this action would
be wrongly construed by some indi-
viduals, and seized upon by others as
a pretext TO upset the copper market
The methods pursued by some indi-
viduals have been little short of Grim
inal Prices in less than three weeks
have been forced down seven cents a
pound for future metal and vet the
biggest part Of these offerings at low
prices would vanish into thin air on
the appearance Of real buying orders.
We have our hands full trying to
get out production both for domestic
and export shipment, and il is doubt
full whether any fair-sized lot Of cop
per could be actually obtained for de-
livery before August. and yet reports
which have little foundation in fact
are that consumers are throwing large
tonnages of metal on the market The
whole thing is absurd.
The idea that 10 either the govern
ment or our allies copper will be sold
for future delivery AT 1867 cents a
pound exists only in the Imagination
OF those unacguainted with the real
copper situation In the first place IL
should be borne in mind that a sliding
scale Of wages prevails throughout
the copper industry, and some mines
are now paying their men on a basis
or go cents pound copper
I hesitate TO think of the disturb
ances which might follow a cut in
wages Of the miners if we were TO
practically give future copper 10 the
government and the allies. and that is
what is what we would be doing if
we contracted for additional sales II
less than 20 cents a pound"
