department. He continued that he
could get along on less revenue II the
council could.
Ahola then spoke on the disadvan-
tage now of people who did not have a
power circuit for use in ironing, for
electric coasters, refrigerators, ETC.,
which would be eliminated by the one
meter system, and Buccowich broke in
that the new setup would also elimin-
ate the Illegal use Of extension cords
for plugging in lights on power cir
cult.
Buccowich continued that the new
rates, figured without cost to the city
by rate experts of the Minnesota Power
& Light company, were the same as
those charged by the company at
Chisholm, Eveleth and Tower.
Another discussion on operating the
department on less revenue took place,
after which Buccowich, answering a
question put by Ahola, said that S
per cent discount would mean an esti-
mated loss of 5000 per year.
The city would save about $1,000
yearly on meter expense. Buccowich
informed Mayor John Kapsch, adding
that this would be taken up for sew
eral years by the cost of making the
change over.
After discussion of the new rate
schedule and rates charged in the
three other range towns by the M.
P. & L. company, A. o. Knutson, city
clerk, said that it was his understand
ing that the new rates were computed
so as to keep the income the same as
under the present setup. Buccowich
agreed with him.
Alderman John N. Maxi stated at
this point that he would oppose losing
revenue.
Buccowich continued that some
people were getting by with Sc per
year for light, the minimum rate, and
that they would pay twice as much
under the new setup because of the
81 minimum. Thereupon there was
considerable discussion of reducing the
minimum.
Consideration of the new setup con-
tinued, and it was brought to a climax
as Buccowich suggested that the city
postpone the effective date and send
comparative figures on the present and
proposed rates to patrons of the light
department. Alderman Edward E. Por-
! than then suggested that the figures
be based upon rs cent minimum, and
the council took official action.

County's Mines Set Best
Safety Record for 1910
With 5,547 Men Employed in
1910 Only One Man Met
Death.

st. Louis county mines set the best
accident record in history in 1910,
when only one fatality was recorded,
even though 3,649,781 tons of iron ore
were taken from the mines and 5,547
men were employed.
A. F. Benson, Virginia county mine
inspector, filed the report Thursday for
Ed Smith, Eveleth who resigned Feb.
l as mine inspector.
Swan H Branwall Soudan cleo
trician. was the only victim of the
year. He fell into a rock raise at the
Soudan mine on April Is. Twenty
two others suffered injuries in mis-
hapS.
The second best safety record was
set in 1882, when two men died, but
that year only 2,243 men were en-
ployed in the mines.
BenSon's report shows that Al mines
were operating last year, while 1852
were idle.
The average wage paid the miners
was 1873 cents per hour, with the steam
shovel engineers being the highest paid
at $1.45 an hour
Benson said in his Introductory re-
marks that THE international economic
aspect at this time indicates an activity
in mining operations just as vigorous
if not more so, in 1941" than in 1910.
The 1910 shipments from Range iror
mines went up more than 100000
tons above the 1889 shipments of "a

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.
REVOCATION OF
DRIVERS LICENSE

Most of the revocation or sus-
pension of drivers licenses are for
drunken driving, but conviction of
reckless driving is also responsible
for many.
Here in Ely there have been 40
licenses revoked, and from Is to
30 suspended.
OF the 40 revoked. only 10 have
been reinstated, while 80 people
may no longer drive an automo-
bile. Nearly all of the 40 lost their
licenses because of driving while
intoxicated.
While 1t is up to the court to
decide upon revocation of a license
upon the first conviction of
drunken driving, upon the second
1t is mandatory that the license be
taken from the driver.
The court may also revoke a
drivers license where a judgment
of 500 or more involving motor
vehicle accident goes unpaid. Nom
possession of drivers license may
also result in the suspension or
revocation of a license.
1t is not an easy matter to OBJ
tain the reinstatement of revoked
license. A driver being reinstated
must carry a bond for three years.
Last year in Minnesota 1888
Speeders, 2,119 drinkers, 708 reck-
less drivers, and 2O9 persons without
drivers licenses in their possession
lost their permits to drive.

President Asks Authority to Take Over
Alien Vessels in u. S. Ports
BY the Associated Press.

The tert OF President Roose-
Uelts message to Congress today
asking authority to take ouer for
eign pesSels in American ports
tolloiDS:
There are now in our ports a
large number of foreign merchant
vessels which have been here for
considerable periods of time and
which because of war conditions
have not seen fit to depart.
Section 902 of the Merchant Ma
rine Act of 1896, es amended by
the act of August 7, 1899, authorizes
the Maritime Commission, whenever
the President shall proclaim that
the security of the national defense
makes it advisable or during any
national emergency declared by
proclamation, to requisition or pur-
chase any vessel or other water
craft owned by citizens of the United
States, or to requisition or charter
the use Of any such property, and
provides that the owner thereof
shall be paid just compensation
for the property taken or for its use
The same section provides method
by which compensation shall be de-
termined. There does not seem to
be any comparable provision with
respect to foreign-owned vessels
lying idle in our ports.
In view of the growing shortage
of available tonnage suited to our
national needs, I am satisfied, after
consultation with the heads of the
interested departments and agencies
of the Government, that we should

''3. Both parties, likewise, agree
to do all in their power to expedite
the holding of the Labor Board cleo
ton. For example. the union should
agree to an election within the plant

The Governor told neWSmen he

Courts Guide Scrapped.
1t is an interesting and peril
nent fact that four months ago the
Michigan State Supreme Court re-
versed a decision on picketing by
which it had been guided for AZ
years. The old decision held that
all picketing was illegal. BoWing
to present realities, the court in
December ruled that peaceful pick
citing is within the right to make
known the facts of labor dispute n
Referring to the earlier ban on
all picketing, the court said, Such
a conclusion of another year should
not necessarily control the expert
ence of today. Even the dictionary
definition of the word picket has
been changed in the meantime. AL
though the Legislature has never
enacted law permitting peaceful
picketing, the right now has been
upheld, as an exercise of the right
of free speech, and by the highest
court of the land. Our legislative
inactivity is no longer for denying
a right secured by the fundamental
law of the United States"
But the court, in its wisdom, die
not attempt to say where peaceful
picketing ends and illegal picketing
begins.
