EIGHT THOUSAND MEN
TIE UP CAMPS, MINN
VIRGINIA CITY, Minn., Jan. 5.—
"Yesterday the International union
called out eight thousand loggers.
Virginia, Bemidji and Croquet dis
tricts are all on strike which affects
the entire timber area of Northern
Minnesota. The affected camps
which have been rushing work to
fill orders are closing down all over.
The strike started a few days ago
when eleven hundred men employed
by the Virginia-Ra:vr Lake Lumber
Co. walked out.
Gunmen arj now being loaned
the lumber trust v tli.> siccl trust,
and the reserves which had been on
active service in the Mesaba range
are being shipped to the woods.
Thousands of gunmen are being
shipped from Minneapolis and Chi
cago where they had been disbanded.
All towns are described today as
black of loggers and the saioons are
closed. Seventy of the strikers have
already been arrested and there is a
report that the militia may be called
out by the Governor. The lumber
jacks are not organized, but are
now being rapidly organized in an
industrial union. Evil conditions
and low pay practically compelled
this spontaneous strike. It promises
to be the biggest lumber strike in
the history of the nation.
