MENT OF STRIKE

Shipments of coal from the Duluth
Superior port to Minneapolis was re-
sumed Monday, when striking dock
workers returned to work, according to
A. X. III. Roehl, secretary and auditor
of the Pittsburgh Coal company.
Stove and furnace grades of anthra-
cite coal will be shipped to the Twin
Cities in quantities equal to the re-
ceiving facilities here, Mr.. Roehl an-
nounced.
"Sinister possibilities of a coal
shortage in the Northwest were avert
ed by the strike agreement signed Sat-
urday night in Duluth" said Mr..
Roehl. "There will be no coal short
age unless other important situations
unexpectedly develop.
"Coal deliveries to consumers since
the strike began August 8 have been
moderately light"
Arbitrators Successful.
The strike enigma, which prevented
the unloading of coal freighters IN the
Duluth harbor, was solved through
mediation Of the Minnesota Board of
Arbitration of which Robert +. Pack,
vice president and general manager
of the General Electric company and
Northern States Power company, is
president.

RETURNING OF RAILROADS

Public opinion is very strongly in
favor of an early return of the rail-
roads to their owners, as shown by

Executives, and was completed before
President Wilson announced in his re-
cent message to Congress that the
government would relinquish control
OF the railways at the end of the
year.
Editors were asked not 20 give their
personal opinions, but to aprraise the

NATIONAL SUFFRAGE
UP TO LEGISLATURE

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says that the house
woman suffrage resolution was
adopted by the senate late yesterday
and the proposed constitutional
amendment now goes to the states
for ratification.
The vote was ffty-six for adoption
and twenty-five against. or two more
than two-thidrs majority required.
Preparatory to the final vote on the
woman suffrage resolution, the senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
Underwood, Democrat of Alabama
providing that popular state conven-
tions and not legislatures should act
on the proposed constitutional amend
ment. Senator Brandegee said con-
gress was becoming funnel
through which embarrassing questions
were passed on to the state legis-
latures for decision.
"The senate" esid Mr.. Brandegee
didn't used to be composed of men
of that backbone. In the days OF
Calhoun. Webster and Clay. senators
were not too proud to think nor toe
cowardly to act"

the result of the Bohemians drawing
away from rule by Austria. Not much

S|M0N-LEAD MINES
IN WONDERFUL ORE

The Simon-Lead Mines Company
is rapidly proving the wonder of the
world. says the Western Nevada
Miner. published at Nina, Mineral
County, Nevada. Up to this (Satur-
day. evening, the cross-cut on the
400-foot level had been run for dis
tance of 125 feet in solid ore with
no signs of the hanging-wall. the face
of the cross-cut being in solid ore.
Reports are to the effect that the ore
struck the past few days is increasing
in silver and gold values. The values
are, 1915 in gold. $3.50 lead. $500 in
silver and 10 per cent zinc.
One of the sensational features of
the week was its jump from $3.75 per
share to $500. with no one willing to
SELL 1t is freely predicted that the
stock will climb to the SIS mark in
the near future.
Another feature is that the Simon
Contact Mines Company stock is trail
ing right along behind its big neigh
Dor. rs cents being offered for the
stock, with none willing to turn loose.
With the ore body cross-cut for dis
tance of 125 feet and no hanging-wall
in sight, the general remark is.
where is it going to-" 1t begins to
look as though the whole district is
underlaid with solid body of
mineral
The result attained in this crosscut
has brought on feverish activity on
the part of the management of the
other corporations to get down to
depth in the shortest time possible,
and with this end in view. hoists are
being rushed into the district with all
speed possible, and in short time
there will be a score of them in
action.
