'Immediately taken up by others and
there was,n mad rush for the doors."

WASHINGTON, Dec. M.-Secretary of
Labor Wilson today ordered John 11,
Densmore, solicitor of tho department to
Calumet, Mich., to render any. assistance
possible in settling tho copper striko
situation. The Christmas eve tragedy In
which neventy-two lives were lost, the
secretary said ho thought was a matter
for state Investigation;
In a telegram to President Moyer of
the Western Federation of Miners, Bee
retary Wilson said It appeared that thu
tragedy was "not In any way connected
with the strike situation."
"I cannot concelvo of "such a connec
tion existing," tho secretary's message
continues. "It Is almost Inconceivable
that any ono could bo so Inhuman as to
plan such a catastrophe, but whether It
was planned or tho result of malicious
mischief, I hope tho facts will bo
promptly brought to light. From tho In
formation as yet In my possession It
would appear to bo purely a statutory
crime, solely within tho Jurisdiction of
tho pollco power. I am, however, send
ing tho solicitor of tho department,' John
"B. Densmore, to Calumet for tho pHir
oso of rendering any assistance posslblo
in clearing tho situation."
Secretary Wilson further declared he
"was shocked at tho accounts of tho dis
aster and expressed to President Moycr
his sympathy for friends and families of
thoso who lost their lives.
Solicitor Densmore, It was announced
at the department, whs Instructed by Sec
retary Wilson to endeavor to bring about
a settlement ot tho strike.

"It was determined that the organiza

various Important cities In the country
for the purpose of securing the views ot
bankers und business men as to the
division of the country Into federal re
serve districts and location In each dis
trict of the head offlca ot the federal
rt serve banks which are to be established
under the federal reserve act.
"It will not be possible for the commit
tee to hold sessions In any other cities,
Lut ample opportunity will be given tor
representatives of various sections ot the
country contiguous to thrae cities to ap
pear before the committee nnd present
their views. It must not bo Inferred that
the committee has determined upon any
ono of these cities as a location for tho
federal reservo banks; th,ey hayo been
chosen as places for holding1 sessions ot
the committee solely because of their
accessibility nnd convenience.
"Tho committee will sit at the custom
houso In New York Ctty January S and
3, Boston, January 5 and 6, and return
to New York tor additional sessions Jan
uary 8 und 9. The committee will sit In
Washington from January 12 to 17; In

held 'between January 2S nnd March 1.
Wherever possible tho hearings will be
held In government buildings.
This Infornintlon Sought.
"The committee deslrcB to be Informed
upon the following points, which are
considered primary factors in determin
ing the boundaries of the proposed dis
tricts and tho location ot the federal re
serve banks;
"First Geographical convenience, which
Involves transportation facilities and
rapid and easy communication with all
purta of tho district.
"Second Industrial and commercial
development and needs of each section,
which involves consideration of tho gen
eral movement of commodities and of
business transactions within the districts
and tho transfer of funds and exchanges
of credits arising therefrom.
"Third The established custom and
tre ndot business as developed by the
present system of bank reserves and
checking accounts. In laying out the dis
tricts and establishing headquarters for
the reserve banks, every effort will be
made to promote business convenience
and normal movements of trade and
commerce.
"Political considerations will not be
permitted to Influence the committee in
determining these important questions.
While the committee appreciates the lo
cal pride and sentiment prompting many
cities to urgo their claims, the committee
nevertheless must appeal to the patriot
ism pf the country to assist It In arriving
at sound conclusions through consider
ation of fundamental and vital factors.
purely local sentiment and prldo must
yield to the common rood in order that
the system ltselfo may accomplish the
purposes for which it was designed.
namely, to secure to the business of the
country the elastic system ot credits and
th stability of conditions so long impera
tively demanded.
The committee therefore will be able
to receive delegations urging tho claims
of particular cities for prefcence as tho
hcadquatcrs ot the rcseve banks. Thu
claims of all cities will be considered
upon thplr merits In view of all the facts
which will bo developed through the Ir,
vestlgatlcns. The purpose of tho comm'
tec Is to go about this work In a tho.
oughly practical and businesslike way, to
accomplish it at the earliest possible mo

nfter full consideration ot tho needs of
every section of the country."
