IRON INDUSTRY
BIG EMPL OYER
LABOR ABOUT rs PER CENT OF
THE TOTAL IRON ORE
COST

"The Minnesota iron ore industry
is big employer of labor the labor
cost is about rs per cent of the total
cost of producing iron ore by under
ground methods, and mining men
are greatly interested in the situation
as it applies to local conditions.
"There are about $4,000 men en-
ployed in iron mining in Minnesota.
About "A per cent of these are en-
gagged in open pit mining and Sc per
cent in underground mining. It may
be said that all these men are skilled
workmen in various degrees except
the, men of the track gang, or so
called common labor. These open
pit employees do not require any par
ticular training or skill and command
the lowest wages on the scale, $4.84
a day. Above these are the other
positions requiring more or less skill
and training, the shovel runner being
the highest paid employee and the one
who must undergo the longest ap-
premiership.
Generally speaking there is a
plentiful supply of all classes of
open pit labor on the Mesaba range.
Wages are high and attract men from
other districts, who work on the
range during the shipping season and
in other vocations in the winter. For
eign labor makes up the track gang
men the pitmen and drillmen, while
the engineers, firemen and brake
men on locomotive and shovel are,
as rule, native born. Nowadays
many boys are starting as fremen
and rapidly work up in these posi-
tions, which are quite generally
filled by young men. These employees
are the best class of labor on the
range, well paid and industrious.
There seems no cause to worry as
to the future supply of open pit
labor.
''In the underground mining we
find a different situation, for here is
a genuine shortage of men. This
class of mining requires skilled men.
A man must have some experience
before he can be called a, miner.
There are plenty of green men un-
derground but they must serve as
trammers and timber rustlers be-
fore they get top wages as contract
miners. The real miner is making
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-08-08

Sc to So day on straight eight
hour day basis, and yet the supply
is not equal to the demand. Here is
a phase of the situation that vitality
affects Minnesota's iron ore industry
and warrants considerable thought
and study.
Miners in Minnesota are largely
so-called Austrians. which name is
not deserved in that the people re-
ferred to includes Croatians, Slav-
ians, Dalmations, Slovaks and others
of the Bulgarian and Jugo-Slavs who
are really enemies of Austria. Firms
and Italians are represented in large
numbers, and to lesser degree, Ser
bans, Montenegrins and Bulgarians.
Very seldom are English, Scandina-
Wan or American miners found.
Most of the miners are foreign born,
although some who were born in Ely
and Tower are found on the Mesaba
and Vermilion ranges. !" Skilling's

REGISTRATION
OF benefit
MOTOR CAR OWNERS SHOULD
REGISTER THEIR
MACHINES.

The recent legislature enacted
law that is of vital Importance to all
auto and motor vehicle owners in the
state of Minnesota, the object Of
which is to protect the owners of such
vehicles against loss of their cars by
theft. The seeming intention of the
legislators in passing the law was to
have every car, its license number, as
well as car and engine number reg
istered with the Register of Deeds of
the county wherein the car is to be
kept or maintained for period of
over thirty days. Some attorneys
interpret the law to mean that such
registration need not necessarily be
made until applying for q new license
(when a copy of such registration
must accompany the application to
the Secretary of State) or when a
car is sold or transferred, in which
case, it must first be registered, and
proper evidence in the form of bill
of sale or sale contract bearing the
signature of both vendor and vendee
must also be filed with the Register
of Deeds before he can issue a GER
tificate of title.
Application Tor such certificate of
title must accompany such evidence
of sale as well as be made when title
il not transferred, which application
must be acknowledged.
Severe penalty is provided for any
attempted violation of this, act which
takes effect July /, 1919, after which
date no cars can be sold or licensed
without exhibiting this certificate of
title. While it seems it: is not COM
pulsory for owners who are not sell
ling or renewing license to register
their cars, yet it is advisable to do SO,
as in 80 doing you are getting the
full benefit of the law now and the
protection intended to be provided
by the legislature. When the law is
in full operation every driver of an
auto must have certificate of own
ership bearing his signature, which
certificate may be called for by any
officer having suspicion that you
might not be the rightful owner,
such officer is also given the right to
enter any building or garage for the
purpose of making, search for any
suspect Of car.
The sooner all cars are registered

WOMEN MUST QUALIFY.

Wives of aliens who desire to be-
come American citizens must be as
well posted on questions pertaining to
the civil government of the nation
as their applicant husbands, according
to R. X. Doe, federal naturalization
examiner. This new ruling of the
state courts will be first put into eff
feet with the next hearing in county
district court at Duluth on Sept. 5.
Mr.. Doe has returned from the
range to Duluth where hearings have
been held under the new regulation.
"Since the last session of the leg
islature which gave the women of
the state the presidential franchise
the court now deems it necessary to
examine the wives of all alien appli-
cants as to their qualifications as
Mr.. Doe continued. eff the
wife fails in qualifying in this re-
spect the male spouse forfeits his
chance of becoming a citizen. So it
is now just as necessary for wives of
to become familiar with
our government as it is for the ap-
plicants themselves.
"Wives of soldiers who served in
the American army land who declared
their intention of becoming citizens
while still in the service will not. be
subjected to naturalization examina-
tons. They will receive the voting
privilege on the certificate of their
soldier husbands.
j. P. johnson, clerk Of district
court, has been instructed to inform
all applicants for citizenship that be-
fore they can receive their first pa
pers they must bring their wives
along, if they are married, and the
two of them must renounce allegi-
ance to the country of which the
husband is a citizen. Mr.. Doe said
that, in the case of applicants who
have left their wives and families
overseas will not be permitted to re-
ceive either first papers or final GER
tifcate of citizenship.

The game was noticeable nicely
from the fact of its fairness and alb
sence of any 'rag-chewing' or ar
guments on decisions. The CHS
holm lads are gentlemen and it was
certainly some honor to take their
scalps.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-08-08

the sooner will the law be effective
as a safeguard against theft. The
certificate will have to be procured
some time at the same cost of so
cents, so it seems to be advisable
to do it now. Blanks will be furn-
ished by the register of deeds and the
certificate in triplicate one to remain
on file in his Office and two to be re-
turned to the owner, one of which
must go to the Secretary of State to
be retained by him when issuing a
new license and the third to be at all
times kept by the owner.

FARGO RAISES BIG
SUM IN SEAL SALE
More Than $4,000 Obtained in
tuberculosis Fight

In the sale of Red Cross Christmas
stamps to aid in the fight against
tuberculosis in the state which was
started last Saturday, Fargo raised
$2294 in the drive according to- re-
ports received here today by officials
OF the Ant:-'rubercuosis association
which has charge Of the drive over
the state.
The amount raised in Fargo, which
is the largest reported in the state,
does not include pledges from church
es, women's clubs, most of the lodges
or the hospitals. These, it is believed,
will add another $1,000 to the Fargo
fund.
Tle success of the one day cam
pa'gn in Fargo was due to a large eX-
tent to- the talks delivered by num-
Der Of women who made ''two minute
speeches in favor Of the drive.
