Arbitration, Taxation and Dam Controversy Arise in Copper Strike
At Lansing talks between Western Federation of Miners leaders and Gov. Terris, Clarence Darrow urged arbitration with Calumet and Hecla Mining. President Shaw refused, prompting possible arbitration by a president-appointed board or a special legislative session to pass a tonnage tax. Meantime, a separate Calumet incident concluded with a pastor’s inquiry into mining fatalities. In Washington, a looming water-power policy battle centers on the Illinois dam’s impact on Mississippi River current and interstate power regulation. Representative Rainey signals support for probing the dam’s effects and navigation, with hearings likely after holiday recess.
