WILL ORGANIZE.

A charter has been applied for
the organization of a branch of
the American Legion in this city.
Fifteen signed the application and
when organized it is expected
that membership of $50 or
over will be had. An organizer
will be here shortly or as soon as the
application for charter is acted on
to put the organization on its feet.
Ely has a branch of the World War
Veterans in good working order the
membership of which will bodily
merge into the Legion
The purposes of the Legion, as set
forth of the preamble of the consti-
tuition are:
''To uphold and defend the Consti-
tuition of the United States of Am
erica; to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate 100 per cent
Americanism; to preserve the mem
cries and incidents Of our associa.

idated and they remained away.
Nothing was left for the companies
to do but to close up.
Should this remain the case for the
winter, it will be easy to foresee what
will follow: 1t is the opinion of the
majority in Ely that dire want will
follow in many instances. The Oliver
company alone disbursed, on an av-
efage, $150,000 per month among it's
employees. The Chandler mines en-
lployed approximately 200 men and
these were being paid on an average
of $3.50 per day, straight company
account, eight hours of labor. The
Zenith had just opened up after sew
eral months of idleness and no es-
Inmates of their disbursements can be
accurately made. 1t is safe to say
however, that by the strike, something
ike 100000 month is being lost
by the laboring men and business men
of the city. This is a very conserv-
ative figure and basing the population
Of the city on six thousand means a
monthly loss of about $34 for every
man, woman and child in the city.
The business men of the city feel
that they cannot stand this for any
length of time and are bending every
effort to have the men and the COM
panies get together on agreeable
terms in hopes that operations will
again be the order. So far nothing
has come of the conferences. Monday
afternoon committees were named by
the business men to try and arrange
"a conference with the strikers and
try to be of assistance to both sides
in bringing about an amicable ad-
justment of,the troubles and to carry
on campaign of education among
the strikers. Literature was pre-
pared in several languages and cir
culated by tn committee composed of
Jas. Moonan, John A. Harri, Steve
Kovall, Olof Berglund and H. E.
White. The committee appointed to
meet with the men and the officials of
the mines is composed of Geo. L.
Brozich, Jas. l. Laing, Peter Beck,
John Palmgard and Jos. Rothman.

In order to secure a conference thu
following circular was sent out:

In order to secure conference thu
following circular was sent out:
"The Citizens of Ely would like tt
meet the Representatives of Labor
to find out the cause of the strike ane
to assist in any way possible to make
an amicable settlement. Will you
kindly appoint committee of five
to meet with the Citizens CQmmittee
of same number; at the Community
Center Building at 8 o'clock this
Tuesday evening""
In answer to the above the strikers
that evening sent the committee an
answer which read:
"We fellow workers notify the
committee hat we don't want to send
our committee to the Community
Center. If you want to know our
demands then come to our meeting
Wednesday afternoon at the Workers
Hall"
In answer to the above the follow
ing was indited by the committee and
dispatched to headquarters:
September 30th, 1919.
To the Laboring Men of Ely, Ely,
Minnesota.
Gentlemen: We were in hopes of
meeting your committee tonight to
discuss the present serious situation
personally, you however declined to
send your committee.
While waiting for your reply, we
have finally been able to get copy
of your demands, which we summar-
ize as follows:
/. We believe that the abolish
ment of contract work in the mines
could be arbitrated to your satisfac-
ton.
2. We believe that the hours for
underground work could be so ar
ranged as to give you only eight
hours work in all.
8. We also believe that the ques-
ton of wages could be satisfactorily
of to your satisfaction.
4. We are in doubt as to the rec
IGNITION of Public Organization" as
this is a problem that has to be taken
up with higher authorities, which will
take serious consideration.
5. The demand for the release
from jails of various labor leaders is
purely a matter of Federal Govern
ment and nothing can be done to
alleviate this demand.
6. The citizens of Ely are anx-
ious to give you any assistance pos
IDLE to settle your difficulties, we are
at your command at the Ely Com
munity Center Building, but owing
to the inconsistency of your demand
we decline to discuss matters that are
beyond our jurisdiction.
z. We appeal to you as American
citizens for the principle of arbitra-
ton. We believe that the interest
of yourselves and that of the COM
munity would be best served if you
will reconsider your demands and try
to come to reasonable settlement.
8. The condition of the country
demands cooperation in all lines,
capital and labor will have to get to-
gether as neither can accomplish
much without the other. It is i'm
possible to compete with other ma
tions in the industrial market unless

tion in the great war; to inculcate a
sense of individual obligations to the
community, state and nation; to make
right the master of might; to promote
peace and good will on earth; to safe
guard and transmit to posterity the
principles of justice, freedom and
democracy; to consecrate and sane
tify our comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness and to uphold
the declared purpose of the American
Legion"

Guiding health experts of national
reputation, also emphasized that at
this meeting Minnesota modified for
it's biggest fight since the World War
was won. They declared that this
fight, centered now in this Red Cross
Christmas Seal campaign which il
the most extensive and intensive in
the history of the state, must be won
to keep safe this country which the
thousands of men and many women
gave their lives to save.

MINES CLOSED DOWN
Strike Started Last Week Monday Has
Tied Up All Mines Here.
COMMITTEES UNSUCCESSFUL.

The second week of the strike in.
augurated week ago Monday at the
Zenith mine is nearly over and moth
ing has been arrived at. Conditions
remain about as they were last week
with the exception that there is more
of it, the Pioneer, Sibley and the two
Chambers being affected this week
thus effectively Tightening up on all
mining operations in the city with
prospects of no change.
The mining officials of the opera
ting companies have received the de-
mands made by the strikers. The de-
mands were made on paper of Win
ton Local No. 500, l. w. w. and bears
the seal of the Winton order. The
demands are as follows:
/. Abolish the contract work in
the mines.
2. Eight hours work under
ground, counting the time going down
and coming out of the mines.
8. Six Dollars $4,000 per day,
minimum wages for all workers.
4. Public Organization.
5. Release from jails of labor
leaders.
These dmands were signed in all
cases by the following six names,
four being signed on each demand !:
A. Siridganoff, John Teran, Matt Kos
oak, Rodon Georgeff, John Stein,
Matt Hill and Vasa Constantine.
- Not being able to meet the demands
the mining companies have decided to
close down for the season and this was
done the past few days. The Pr
oneer and Sibley mines of the Oliver
company were closed early in the
week and the properties are being
boarded up. Enough men were re-
tanned among the bosses and execu-
tives to keep the water out, pick up
the tools and as watchmen. Yester-
day the two Chambers were closed
and nailed up. Small crews at all
mines were on hand to work but the
larger number remained away and
while all were not concerned in the
strike a great many had been intim-

LATE CORN HURT
BY DRY WEATHER
Weather Bureau Report Says
Cotton Is Retarded,

Virtually all early corn in the state
has matured with fair 10 good grain
yields, according TO the weekly report
issued this morning by the weather
bureau, but the bulk of the late corn
has been ruined by heat and drouth
in the north. central and eastern coun-
ties. Cotton generally made poor
progress during the week because Of
intense heat and scant moisture Con-
siderable top blooming, dropping OF
squares and some shedding OF bloom
and bolls was reported.
Gram sorghums are holding up well
Broom corn is making satisfactory
progress and the harvesting OF the
crop is under way in the west-central
counties. Pastures, truck crops and al
ialfa were greatly damaged by the
drouth. Sweet potatoes and peanuts
are generally fairly promising, but
need rain badly in some localities The
preach crop has nearly all been
marketed; there was an abundance Of
fruit, but the quality was only fair as
a result of the hea, and drouth during
the maturing period. Grape, were
damaged by the drou,h aud apples
and pears need the rain badly.
