MINERS m ?tv I IIi;m DEAD. Mk-?-= l?rwe?8iorirTwo Mile*'l^n?-Fifty Nine fiodiea Were interred. Calumet. Mich., rPftp. 28.-The Western F?d?ration ?f Miners buried Its dead to-day. Fifty-nine bodies, including those of 44 children, were carried .th. rough, the streets, down a windlng oountry highway, and laid in gi'ayes lb a "snow enshrouded ceme rerv within ?1ght of Lake Superior. Thousands of saddened miners form ed the escort of the funeral parties and passed between other thousand*, who as spectators testified to tho grief that has oppressed the commu nity since 7 2 men, women and chil dren were killed In the Christmas Eve panic in Italian Hall. The rollin.-, of tho Hells. For hours the Sabbath cai?., was broken by the tolling o ' bells and the sound of voices Intoning burial chants. In half a dozen churches services wore he'd earlier In the day, and the mourner^ went '.' about the streets, passing from their homeB to the churches, back to their homes, after brief respites, and again to the churches, to prepare for the last sad trip to tbe'grave sides. Delegations of strikers began com ing, into Calumet early In. the day. The special train bf nine coaches brought hundreds of federatlonlsts from the iron mines of Negaunee and Ishpcming, and every town and min ing location in the copper country sent members and friends ot the un ion to swell the ranks of marchers in the afternoon. By noon the union host was assem bled. Months of experience In dem onstrating their numbers by parad ing had taught the men to form ranks quickly, and with little Belay .they lined up four abreast. The supply of hearses was Inade quate, and there were only fourteen of these vehicles in the van. Then came-three undertakers' wagons and an automobile truck, the latter carry ing three cofflnB. These vehicles con tained the adult victims and thv -old er children. Beside one marched eigh women, who acted .AS pall?ear ers for a member Of the Women's Auxiliary of the Western Federation. It was thlB woman's organization which was distributing gifts of candy, shoes, caps and mittens to the chil dren of strikers when the panic broke out, behind the hearses was a section ?.if the procession whjch brought tears ?? ul sol . ff bl oriToofeet?

Persons drawn to Calumet solely by curiosity became mourners as this contingent passed them. Men turned away to brush tears from their cheeks. Women, especially mo thers, sobbed openly. Dozens, una ble to endure the sight, rushed from the streets, taking refuge In homes where the Yuletide had not been di rectly saddened by death. Other mourners, too, were in evidence among the toll-hardened men who carried the coffins. They bore thc bodies of their companions' children, and many a rough sleeve was brush ed hurriedly across down-turned faces, the eyes of which were con cealed hy peaked caps, drawn fat forward. Fifty singers chanted hymns In the wake of those carrying the childrens' coffins. Most of these men were Eng lish miners, who had learned In Cornwall to chant Christmas carols in the streets, and years ago brought this old custom to the copper coun try. To-day, however, they did not sing songs of a new life born. "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Rock of Ages." and "Nearer, My God, to Thee," came from throats thick with emotion, but the harmonies wore full and rich. As tho slngeis turned Into Hine street, which led to the cemetery road, the opon ranks of marchers wheeled into line. Isbpeming and Negaunee men came first, followed by a brass band and the members of the copper country locals. The last marcher had scarcely started from Calumet before the head of the pro cession bad reached the cemetery gatos, two miles away; Card of Thank?.
