lating the manufacture and sale of oleo-

Justice Shiras, in an opinion today.
said that the case did not involve a
question of power to fix rates as con-
tended by the company, but merely of
uniformity rates. This was a ques-
ton of state policy. When" he said.

First Note of Disaster.
A dull roar and the sound of crash
ing timbers gave the men on the sur
face the first intimation hat a disaster
was being enacted 500 feet under
ground. When all had quoted down,
volunteers descended in the cage in an
attempt at rescue. 1t was found, how
ever, that the shaft was so badly dam
aged that it was impossible to get with
in so feet of the level in which the men
were buried.
Rush to Rescue.
Cries for help were heard at the low
est point reach. and the removal of the
timbers which blocked the way found a
man who, shortly before the cave-in,
had started for the surface. He could
throw no light on the fate of his as
sociates, a majority of whom were
Italians and F~inlanders. The steam
pipes leading to the underground pumps
were so damages that would be impos-
sible TO operate pumps, and as the mine
is the wettest in Iron county, the shaft
is making water fast.
Battle for Life.
A big force of rescuers is working on
relays and making desperate attempts
to get to the damaged level before the
water reaches it. II the men are not
rescued within 10 or IL hours all hope
of getting them out alive must be aban-
dOned.
