Wisconsin Miners Forced to Ask the
. Bute For Food and Clothing.
Got. Oorge W. I'eck and bit military
I'alf spent Sunday on the tiogebic range,
furnishing relief to the Idle and suffering
miner, several thousand of whom bav
been out of work for many month and are
tlreost in atarving condition. Oov. I'eck
and patty went on a social that brought
wo full csnoad of provision and clothing
tnd organised In connection with a c!tl.en
committee a bureau on relief and distribu
lion.
Tbe governor answered an appeal from
the belplesa working men and their families
in a most practical way and that dark and
gloomy Sunday was converted Into a day
of glad thanksgiving 1'here are two feet
of snow on the ground and with the me -cttry
hovering about the rero mark and
ft.ooo nien on the range Idle.tlie seriousness
of the situation can well be imagined. Ten
day ago Uov. I'eck issue.! an appeal lot
Wiate aid and there was a quick response
with both money and supplies. The special
brought 200 barrel of Hour, O.OOu poun.is of
dressed meat and ail manner of canned
goods and household necessaries. A large
amonnt of clothing for men. women and
children complete.! the equipment, all ol
the supplies being donations ol lople in
and near Milwaukee.
't he money contributed will be saved aid
nsed as a reserve fuuu tn purcnase supplies
when Ihe donations are exhausted. Cpon
thearrival of the relief 1 any it was met by
a citizen's committee, who supervised the
distribution of supplies A luriou snow
storm was raging, but the car were quick
ly unloaded aid their content quickly
I laced in the city hall ior saltty. During
the day an additional carload of iiJO barrel
of Ruur, a gilt from the city or Med ford,
Vl., was received and added to the gener
al store. K picturesque incident of the
morning wa the ringing of the riot alarm,
which brought 0111 hundred of men. who
assisted in carrying the supplies Irom the
car lo the city hall, 'the governor and hi
pane visited acores of houses, question! g
the people and looking into the r wants.
Many pitiable cases of desiliuliou were dis
covered. Whole families ol Cornish, Fin
nish and Swedish miners were found hud
dltd in single rooms, without a morsel ol
lood and with hardly enougu clothe to
over them.
J he mine began shutting down last June
and at piesent there is not a single mine in
oieratiou on the entire range, a region that
mined something like I0.ialo.ooo tons of ore
last year. I heie are altogether about l.'i.uts)
iK-ople in this condition. In the city of
iron wood there are in Ihe corporate limits
1 Sou people entirely destitute. 'Ihe city
and county have exhausted every mesa at
hand and are now waiting for outside
aid.
C.ov. Kicli of Michigan also isMind an ap
peal lor aid lor the tineiiipluved ol I tie
upper peninsula and one carload of provis
ions was soon started from l.aiiMiig for
I run wood and tlessemer. All ollicial of
I ron wood staied that the men were getting
desppiale and unless aid cam wiiblii two
days there would be an ouireak aud bread
riot. Thus far the unemployed have been
very orderly, but they are now now desier
ate iroui continued destitution.
