Reinforce ments of state troops began arriving In Calumet today at day break.

They asserted that the governor had failed to tlve the men's side of tho controversy consideration equal to that accorded the companies, arguing that no request for troops had come from the union men and that no act of theirs Justified the pres tnce of the military. Stress was laid on the fact that no de traction of property has taken place, the itrjko leaders claiming that uuoh damage as has occurred was incidental to the closing of the mines. Sooner or later, it was stated, there would of necessity be an investigation of industrial conditions hereabouts and the 'union officials say they preferred that tho governor make it in person and at once.

Early Closing Saturday Hayden Bros, wish to announce that daring the month of August the store will close at 6 o'clock each Saturday evening in order that the clerks may have Saturday evening to themselves. While this is an experiment which will be tried during August Hayden Bros, are anxious to continue the cus tom, if the firm finds it meets with pop ular favor. JThe success of this move depends largely on the customers of the store who can make it popular by dmng their buying early. Hayden Bros, were among the pio neers of this early closing move and if it is found that customers are satisfied it will be continued all the year around. If the stores are compelled to re-open on Saturday evenings after August the public will be entirely responsible. Hayden. Bros.
