To combat this sentiment they obiained from Anthonv Lucas, prosecuting attorney of Houghton county, a statement that he was sat- isfied from his investigation that the man who raised the cry wore no in- | signia of any kind. In most instances | he offers of relief were refused with- case two women were ejected from a home where two children lay dead. Union Aid Promptly Accepted. Mrs. John Vertin and Mrs. Marcus Sterk met this rebuff and after being | shown the door, gave up their mission and returned to report to headquart- ers. Despite the evident determination of the stricken families not to accept non-union help the committee was not without hope of overcoming the pre- judices and held another meeting to- night to consider various plans for getting rid of the money. Fifty-four families were on the list as needing possible aid and each was visited by three sub-committees rep- resenting one of the nationalities to which victims of the panic belonged. The federation members were not less active and in several cases the unofficial visitors met union workers in the houses which death had visited. Always the proffers of union help were accepted In preference to the other. | Efforts to Identify Man Who Caused Panio. | Efforts to run down the identity of | the man who began the panic met with | some success today.
