Mining Exchange Contributes.
The members of the Salt Lake Stock |
& Mining Exchange lost no time in /
raising a relief fund for the Scofeld !
sufferers after the exchange was called /
to order
Harry S. Joseph was the first one to
call the attention Of the exchange to
the appalling disaster of Tuesday. and
offered a resolution that the exchange
donate $500 towards aiding the grief
ones in the Inflated coal min
ing Camp.
The proposition met with strong op-
position, other members of the eX-
change taking the ground that it was
a dangerous precedent to establish 10
allow the exchange, as an organization,
to make contributions for charitable
purposes.
Everyone seemed TO favor a. popular
however, and a commit
tee, consisting of Harry S. Joseph, II.
b. Clark and Herman Hill. was aD
pointed by President D. II. Peery, jr-.
to make a canvass Of the members Of
the exchange for voluntary cOntribu-
tons.
Mr. Joseph then suggested that a
resolution Of sympathy should be
adopted, and presented the following,
which carried without a dissenting
vote:
Whereas, The Salt Lake mining ex-
change. in regular session, has, with
profound sorrow, learned of the shock
ng calamity by which the mines of
he Pleasant Valley Coal company at
ScOfeld, Utah. have been overcome,
md whereas many families in the aW-
,ul horror have been bereft Of the only
hands on which they were reliant;
therefore be it
Jathy Of the exchange be extended the
lereaYed ones and that it is the fur
her sense of this body that it stands
n readiness to do all within its power
o afford relief and to ameliorate the
offerings and despair Of the many so
orely afflicted; and be it further.
Resolved, That a copy Of this TesO-
utiOn be at once transmitted to the
mayor of unfortunate Seofield."
