        TROOPS RESCUE DEPUTIES
        ----------------------
        
        Save Others at Calumet From Strikers
        
        The Women Are Prominent in Violence
        
        Use Brooms and Missiles on the Miners
        
        One Man Badly Beaten; a Parade Today
        
        Calumet, Mich., Aug. 30 - Company F. of Saginaw, stationed at
      the Wolverine mine, was called out early today to protect a party
      of deputies at No. 3 shaft south of Kearsarge mine, from attack
      by a large number of copper mine strikers and women. The women,
      who were particularly active, spat in the faces of the deputies.
      The soldiers rescued an Allouez mine fireman who was attacked by
      strikers while on his way to work. The strikers took him from a
      street car and were beating him when the militia arrived. Strikers
      and women sympathizers at the Champion mine resumed their attacks
      on non-union men today, striking them with brooms dipped in filth
      and throwing missiles. One man was badly beaten and three women
      were arrested. Another big parade of strikers was held in Calumet
      this morning.
