STRIKE CLOSES
GREAT COPPER
MINES IN WEST
Only Handful of Men Report
For Work at Anaconda
Smelter
Butte, Mont., Aug. 27.—Thousands
of miners are idle to-day Decause of
the shutdown of all the copper
mines of the district, made neces
sary by the closing Friday of the
Washoe Smelting: plant of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company at
Anaconda when of 3,000 men em
ployed on the day shift, only 110
reported for work.
Indications are that the independ
ent mines of the district which did
not shut down Friday will be com
pelled to cease operations in the
near future. Miners gradually are
falling to report for work at the In
dependent properties.
The machinists union has formu
lated new demands which mem
bers say they will insist upon.
Prisoners Working on
Farms in 12 Counties
Edward Wilson, of Philadelphia,
assistant agent of the Board of Pub
lic Charities, son of the late Mayor
Wilson, of this city, has been detailed
hy the Board to investigate the work
ings of the law passed by the last
eLgislature permitting prisioners in
the county jails to be sent into the
open to do work for farmers who
are in need of hands to gather the
harvests.
Eighteen counties have been visit-1
ed by Mr. Wilson and in twelve of [
them found the plan to be working
admirably, and his information was 1
to the effect that the new law is a !
success. In the other six counties the J
county authorities were either ig- ]
norant of the law or Indifferent to
putting it into operation, and noth-'
ing had been done, but the promise!
was made that next year they will
all endeavor to observe the new'
law. Mr. Wilson says that where-1
ever in operation the authorities have i
been very much pleased with its
workings, and there is no doubt that
in time every county will place their
prisoners to work with the farmers.
This year the work of the men has
been devoted to gathering the har
vests, the law coming too late to
permit of the employment of the
prisoners in planting, but this fall
and next spring the prisoners will
be sent out to plant, passing the!
winter months in prison. The pris
oners really like the work tliey do, it I
being a relief from confldement in j
the jails, and only those physically
unable to work were not sent to the
field.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TEX.EGRAPH • AUGUST 27, i
' PENNSYLVANIA GUARDSMEN IN
BUCKLING DOWN TO HAR
MAJOR GENERAL CLEMENT ARRIVING IN CAMP A MOMENT'S BREATH AFTER RIFLES ARE STACKED
CAMP HANCOCK B
SIGHTSEEING TOURS IN A UGUSTA
Soldiers Spend Sunday in City and Attend Religious
Services; Fight Fire and Yellow Jackets,
Which Flames Stir Up
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 27. Sunday,
known in the Army as a "flat" day
because work ceases for twenty-four
hours, was in no sense flat here in
interest or amusement for the boys
of the advance details of Pennsyl
vania's Twenty-eighth army division.
Aside from assembling at reveille
and retreat, they had only one duty
to perform, and that a more or
less optional one—attendance at re
ligious services. Thereafter they
were at liberty to spend the re
mainder of the holiday as they pleas
ed.
As a result Camp Hancock was vir
tually deserted. Few visitors motor
ed to the site because the soldiers
flocked into the city or roamed in
squads about the surrounding coun
try. They visited natatoriums, slept
under the trees, gathered in groups
in shady spots to sing songs, while
others remained in their tents and
spent the afternoon writing letters
home.
The leisure hours gave the men
the first real opportunity to see
Augusta, and they took full advant
age of it. A majority of the more
than 3000 men spent the day here.
There was not the slighest disorder
reported.
But there was little amusement
for the boys, for late in the evening
they were called upon to fight what
might have developed into a disast
rous fire. It was discovered in tljc
heavy pine woods about half a mile
from the troops' camp. Tn fighting
the flames, which at times shot
fifteen to twenty feet into the air,
the troopers stirred up several regi
ments of yellowjackets, whose fight
ing qualities are beyond dispute. As
a result, many of the troopers lay in
their quarters to-day nursing swollen
arms and faces.
The fire, of undetermined origin,
was particularly hard to combat, he
cause the troopers could not attack
lit with water. Under command of
noncommissioned officers, they went
after it with thick green branches
and beat it out. It was an hour's
stiff battle.
Brigadier General Logan, of Pitts
burgh, in command of what was for
merly the Second Brigade, but what
is now the Fifty-sixth, arrived in
camp Saturday night and established
quarters on the field. He is the lirst
general to take up camp quarters, as
General Clement and his staff, with
Brigadier Generals O'Neill and Stil
well, are still living at the Hermitage.
General Logan was acc6mpanied to
camp by the officers and enlisted per
sonnel of his staff. He spent the
night in what will be a mess hall of
his command, but will take up per
manent quarters to-morrow. To be
prepared for all emergencies, the
General and his party brought five
days' rations with them, together
with other supplies and two horses.
General Logan is eminently satisfied
with conditions here and expressed
amazement with the remarkable
progress made in construction work.
German Is Drafting
Prisoners to Fight
Copenhagen, Aug. 27. The diffi
culty which Germany is experiencing
in obtaining men to fill the ranks is
shown by an interpellation presented
i nthe Keihcstag by Deputy David
sohn calling attention to the practice
of the military authorities in recall
ing to the service pensioners who
have been discharged for disabilities.
The Interpellation says men re
ceiving: pensions for fifty per cent,
and more of total disability and even
cripples to whom supplementary pen
sions have been granted are being
constantly forced into the prmy again
and that in some cases men are taken
from hospitals before their treatment
is completed.

Berlin Is Depressed
By U. S. Embargo
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 2 7.—Many
passengers who arrived here yester
day from a neutral European port
on a neutral steamship expressed the
opinion that Germany is hard hit
economically, that her food is low
and that discontent prevails through
out the empire, except in Prussia,
where the military set and its con
stituents are feeling the trying times
the least.
American trade restrictions upon
the north countries, they declared,
had creuted much depression in Ger
many, since the Germans had counted
on getting winter supplies of food
stuffs from the Scandinavian coun
tries. On board were persons who
had recently been in Germany and
they had talked freely of Germany
during the voyage.
