1. On Aug. 15, 1913, the Western Federation of Miners secured a temporary injunction restraining Houghton Co., Mich., sheriff James Cruse from hiring additional Waddell-Mahon detectives. The miners argued that the detectives had not fulfilled the three-month county residency requirement for sheriff's deputies that was stipulated by state law and that they were being used to break the strike rather than preserve the peace. On Aug. 23 state circuit court judge Patrick O'Brien refused to extend the injunction, ruling that the Waddell-Mahon men could be used to train deputies while not actually serving as such.

2. On Sept. 20, 1913, Judge O'Brien granted a preliminary injunction, on the request of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Co. and other firms involved in the Northern Michigan copper strike, prohibiting the Western Federation of Miners from picketing, demonstrating, or any other activities interfering with employees of the companies. On the motion of the union, however, Judge O'Brien dissolved the injunction on Sept. 29. The companies appealed O'Brien's decision to the Michigan Supreme Court, which on Oct. 8 stayed dissolution of the injunction pending a hearing but ruled that peaceful parades and meetings by strikers were to be allowed. Finally, on Dec. 10, the state supreme court issued a writ of mandamus ordering O'Brien to reinstate the injunction (Baltic Mining Co. et al. v. Houghton Circuit Judge, 177 Michigan 632 [1913]).

3. Mitchell addressed mass meetings of striking copper miners in Calumet and Houghton in August 1913. An account of his visit is printed in the AFL Weekly News Letter of Aug. 30. John Lennon visited Calumet and addressed the strikers there in September; his report is printed in the News Letter of Sept. 20.

4. In addition to this one, the AFL issued appeals in behalf of the Calumet copper miners on Aug. 28, 1913, and Jan. 27, 1914. Together, the three raised a total of $55,174.
