HEAVY BUYING
MEANS GOOD YEAR
LAKE SUPERIOR MINERS ARE
ASSURED OF PROSPERITY
FOR COMING YEAR.

Buying of iron ore has been ac-
tive since the prices were announced
short time ago, says Skillings' Min
ing Review. The prospects are that
the seasons movement will equal
that of any previous year, and it is
quite possible that a new record will
be established. A new record will
be established if the strike orgy is
ended, and efficiency returns once
more to the industry.
The iron mining industry of the
Lake Superior region will be very
active. Properties that have been
idle for periods of greater or less
length, some of them for several
years, have started up, or are being
made ready to start. High wages
prevail in every department of min
ing. Labor is satisfied, and the agi-
tator has found his vocation gone in
this great district. Twenty thous-
and men will be engaged this year in
providing food for the furnaces, and
the furnaces and mills will be en-
gagged in the great work of trying to
catch up with untitled orders. The
world is short of iron and steel. There
is great accumulation of deferred
business. The railroads are going
to require rails and equipment to
meet the deferred requirements of
several years.
The advance in the price of iron
ore of 81 per ton has encouraged
the iron mining industry that the day
Of profitable operation has returned
for the producer who operates under
average conditions.
Among the ore sales for the season |
is one for 100000 tons that is
credited to Bethlehem Steel This
is larger order for Lake Superior
ore than was expected of this firm,
for it procures much ore from Cuba.
1t Is causing some speculation as to
whether Bethlehem is merely in
creasing it's orders all around, on ac-
count of big year for consumption,
Or is finding Cuban ores not as sat
sfactory as formerly. II
1t is fact that in the Lake Su-
,erior region is found iron ores of I
,reater purity than elsewhere. This /

HOUSE COMMITTEE SEEKING
 BI- PARTISAN SUPPORT FOR
 FORDNEY EMERCENCY TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Dee. 19.-An attempt to obtain bipartisan support in the house for the Fordney emergency tariff was decided on today by the committee representing house members from the agricultural districts.
 Recommendation that all members of the house, regardless of political affil- Iations, support the tariff measure, which would put a virtual embargo tar if on a score of farm products, will be submitted by the committee to a meet ing tomorrow of western and southern representatives, who have banded to- gether to seek aid for the farmer.
 The committee also decided to in- clude in its recommendations for sup port the resolution to revive the war finance corporation and the Young Fincher bill. directing the use of S10O,- 000,OO0 of the profits of the federal re- serve banks for live stock loans The former measure was passed by the house yesterday, but in different form than adopted by the senate The con ference of farmer representatives will be asked to throw their support behind the resolution to the extent even of passing 1t, if necessary, over a presi- dential veto
 The situation is not without diff culties, however" Representative Young of North Dakota, Republican. chairman of the farmers committee. said today in discussing the farmer relief program. There are minority members who feel that they have not had included in the Fordney tariff all of the farm products that should have been taken in. There are likewise some of the Republicans who think the bill is not sufficiently broad in that it does not afford pro- tection for more manufactured prod ucts. This committee proposed to seek the elimination of these party lines and other reasons for non-support of the measure"
 Chairman Fordney. who was author ized to report the tariff bill for the ways and means committee, is ex- pected to have it read in the house to-

Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ


 VANILLA, P. l., Dec. Exchanges of murder will be filed in court Mon- day by the city prosecutor against 7l Philippine constabulary soldiers as result of the rioting Wednesday in which four Americans and seven Fili- pinos were killed. Governor General Francis Burton Harrison announced today.
 He said charges eventually would be made against all who participated in the firing or were connected with the alleged conspiracy to commit murder.
 The soldiers have been confined III the insular penitentiary for safe keep ing( on sedition charges filed yester- day by the city prosecutor.
 ''InVestigat of other men and or ficers of the constabulary who may be culpable or may be implicated in the unspeakable affair Wednesday night is being continued by my in structions, said the governor general. Action will be taken according to cir cumstances as they develop. The sedl- tion charges were made in order to hold the soldiers pending more ser ious accusation"
 The official police report of the riot asserted a Filipino constabulary officer was the leader of the soldiers who participated in the shooting, but Brigadier General Rafael Crane, chief of the constabulary, declared no of ficer was engaged in the affair.
 The mother, wife and sister in law of Policarpio. one of the Filipinos killed in the riot, dropped dead of heart trouble on hearing of the out break. according to the police report.

Agent of Soviets
 Trying to Start
 German Revolt
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

BERLIN. Dec. 1S.-Victor Kopp, the Russian soviet representative in Ser lin. has been working under written instructions from Minister of War Trotzky ito do everything nj hls pow CT to bring about a revolution in Ger many and overthrow the present gov ernment." it is charged by the Pan German Deutsche Zeitung in tonights issue.
 A photographic copy of Trotzky's s letter with instructions to this effect is now in possession of Foreign Mn ister Simons, the newspaper says and it makes a demand for the immediate expulsion or arrest of the societ rep resentative.
 According to the newspapers infor- nation. the letter was written during the victorious march of the bolsheVik armies toward Warsaw. Since then, declares the article, Kopp has had eV- cry opportunity to visit the Russian prison camps in Germany where l6O 900 Russians are held, approximately 10000 of whom were captured during the war and the remainder interned after the bolshevik drive into Poland.
 The charges against KOpp were made in connection with a national inter pellation in the reichstag which charged that the free and easy" man ner in which the Germans were managing the Russian prison camps under the imperial department offered a fertile field for propaganda. Dr. Simons declined to go into details be- fore the Reichstag. but said the evil dence against Kopp was insufficient to warrant government action. The interpolation, however, resulted in an order that these camps hereafter be under the authority of the ministry c. defense.
 The Kreuz Zeitung and the Deutsche Zeitung have been hammering the administration steadily for several weeks on the ground that the Russian prisoners in Germany in reality formed bodyguard for hopp.' and they alleged that bolshevik propagan- dists in every camp have been k-ut..... virtually unmolested. These organs express belief that the situation has been allowed to develop to such a threatening extent that the German government would be endangered un- less steps are taken at once to remove the menace

Minor shocks continue tnrouSnout the district. one particularly strong tremor being felt yesterday afternoon at 5:3o o'clock in the towns of San Martin and Rivadavia- The people are reported as being panic stricken. The city of Mendoza was shaken but did not suffer any extensive damage.
 In the town of Costa de Araujo the seismic convulsion opened great crew ices out of which hot water is pouring. The water from one of these geysers reached a height of about 15 feet and formed pool in which two persons were drowned. A Red Cross ambulance has reached the village and set to work to rescue any sufferers who still may be alive in the ruins
 More than S0.000 persons inhabit little towns along the eastern Andean slope and as reports continue to add to the long list of casualties, apprehension is felt that the final figures will be very high. Rescue parties have been sent from Mendoza but details from the scene of the disaster are meagre, as telephone and telegraph wires are bably disorganized.
 The earth movement during the tremor was northwest to southeast and a number of small shocks followed the principal concussion which lasted 30 seconds.
 The latest reports from Mendoza. coming in tonight said that the shock at Tresportenas had assumed the pro- portions of a catastrophe. Three re- lief trains have been rushed to the town from which 30 dead and as many dying have been brought out At Costa de Araujo, which was virtually isoIat- ed, another shock of the most violent characted occurred at 8 o'clock this morning.
 At Lavalle terrible scenes were wit messed. The relief work was most diff ficult. owing to the condition of the roads which had been broken up and covered with water The church at Lavalle was laid in ruins and the mu- nicipal buildings walls were cracked and the structure was likely to fall at any moment.
 The seismograph at the Mendoza in stitute recorded three shocks on Fri day. the first beginning at D. m 1t was a sudden and violent one. with out the slight movements usually pre- eeding. This lasted 15 seconds. The second movement lasted five seconds and the third ten seconds. The vibrA tions with lesser shocks, continued for 30 minutes afterwards.
