TOPROBERS MANAGER MACNAUGHTON OF CALUMET & HECLA 18 FIRST WITNES8 FOR OWNER& Houghton, Mich., March 2.- De terioration of the quality of the rock an I the extreme depth at which copper is now mined in this district require that every facility fOr reducing the cost of production be employed, James Mac Naughton, general manager of the Cal umet & Heola company, told the con gressional investigating committee of the copper miners' strike today. Mac Naughton was the first witness for the mining companies, and counsel an nounced his examination had hardly begun when the hearing was adjourned for the day. The contract system of pay was ex plained by the witness in detail. For merly, he said, the miners were paid by the lineal foot and the cubic fathom for rock removed, but because of numerous complaints over measure ments the Calumet & Hecla had adopted the tonnage system. Under the old system, the witness said, the miners entered into three months' contract, but no measurements were made until the end of this period, the men being advanced from $65 to $70 a month for the first two months' work, and being paid the difference when the contract expired. A system of monthly contracts was employed now, he said. Hundreds of Straw Bosses. Under questions, MacNaughton ad mitted that as there are some 750 or 800 mine bosses, some of them might be dictatorial and unfair to the men. MacNaughton read a circular issued by the company in 1891 informing the men that they could obtain redress from higher officials if they were dis satisfied with their treatment. He said many men had come to him with pro tests in the 13 years he had been gen eral. manager. He also said that the aniners understood that they could ap peal to him either singly or through a ..ommittee, an4 that it would not be held against then. The witness said the use of the one mandrill, to which many strikers ob jected, was an economy necessary be cause all, competitdrs were using it. Also because it was necessary to go deeper for rock than yielded only about 20 pounds of copper to the ton. "It has been stated here that no ene man drills are"used in the Montana dis trtct," Representative Petermann said. The witness asserted that he had been told by a representative in Butte that 1,500 such drills were used in those mines. Experiments with these drills had been so successful, he added, that the companies were considering doing away with the two-man drill alto gether. MacNaughton also said that arl the companies are complying with the law requiring miners to work within 150 feet of each other. He said that a miner could call on a trammer or any one else for help in putting up his drill. Explaining the bonus system now in vogue, MacNaughton said .a miner was paid a minimum of $3.25 in the amydgaloid mines and $3.50 a day in the conglomerate mines, which were harder to work. This pay was based on a fixed tonnage of about 900 tons a month; a bonus of 10 cents a ton was paid for excess rock, but no deductions were made if the miner happened to fall below this standard. The mining captain had the discretion to make the minimum $3 a day if he thought the man had loafed on the job. "Suppose the miner habitually failed to reach the required standard?" asked Representative Switzer. "He would be let out." MacNaughton said trammers were paid a fixed wage of $1.60 in amygda lniti and $1.75 in conglomerate mines, but tlo were paid bonuses. They could work ott Contract if they desired, he said, as ma'ty Of them did. DEPORTATION APPROVED. Capetown; March 2.-The hlouse of assembly today, by a vote of 72 to 15, adopted the clause in the indemnity bill Confirming the deportation of nine labor leaders because of their connec tion with the general strike.

PRESIDENI REAIl-ES GRAVITY (Continued From Page One.) lablished that Cu.rranza's maneuver will not lead the British government into any recognition or other dealings with him. President Wilson explained to callers that many foreign governments had desired the United States to look after their subjects, but of course, had no right to demand it and were not de manding it. Strictly speaking, Car ranza might insist on his right not to deal with one government in the in terests of another, but such a situa tion undoubtedly would produce grave complications with the United States government upon whom the powers of 41e world have learned to look, as the dominant factor in Pan-American di plomacy. General Villa's acknowledgment of General C'arranzsa as his sullperlior authority has cleared up all doubt here as to who is chief of the coii iititutionalist movement. Ilereaft.er, as General C'arranza requests, interna Itlonal questions will be taken up with him.' He also will be called to account for all harm to foreigners. Incident allly General Villa's deference to Car ranza as the head of the constitution alists was contlainlled ill a I(message froll American Consull Leteher. It cleared up some of he points in the mystery which for a time surrourlded the halting of the inv\'estigtiiig coin mission at Juarez yestclrday. \Vhile fundamentally it was C(rrtanal's at - titude which del;ayeld the departure of the coinimissiuoners, it \V:i s cxplainted by officials here that tlw receipt of in structions froni the state detpalrtu!ment to postpone their Imissioni was coiln ; dent with the failure of the colllllis sion to obtain a permit to board tli regular passenger train for C'lhiiuablhli:c, controlled by the rebels.

This was dec lined lpining an: exchange of messages with l:lneral I Villa at Chihuahua and when orders did come not to permit thie comllllis sion to take the regular trans, in structions had been rececived from Washington plostpolning the expeditiqn. Sir Edward Grey's statement to the ,house of comn.mous is awaited here with muc hinterest, as it is felt by many he will show just how far c,rcat Britain expects reparation for th-. Benton killing, a British subject, at this time. Tomorrow Sir Lionel "::r- ,en, the British minister to Mexico, will discuss Mexican affairs with President Wilson, bringing hint the latest information about the situation in Mexico City. Just as President Wilson had de cided that the note which Huerta had l addressed several days ago to all for eign governmlllelnts was designed for home and foreign consumptionlll ll with out presentation to the United States, the belated document was handed to Secretary Bryan by Charge Algara of the Mexican embassy. Its text, which will be published, sets forth that in view of the Benton case the American government ought to revoke the right recently extended to th constitutional ista to buy arms in th United States. It is not considered likely that any answer will be returned. Secretary Bryan announced that he would appear before the house com mittee on foreign affairs on Wednes day. He said he intended doing so today. A tacit agreement has been reached that the resolution of Rep resentative Ainey, relpublican, calling for information on Mexican affairs, would not be pressed until the secre tary of state has lad an opportun Ity to talk with the committee. Mr. Ainey today issued a statement at tacking what he described as the ad ministration's policy as "drifting into war" and denouncing Villa and Car-. ranza.
