Colonel Barnes staff also deserves the

FOUR MEN KILLED
 IN BIG EXPLOSION
MAN DROPS BOX OF DYNAMITE AND coNcUssIoN CAUSES IT TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CAUSES A susPERsloN OF OPERATIONS.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. December s-Four men were killed and ten injured, three probably fatally, by the explosion of Q box of dynamite in No. 5 mine of the Lehigh and WfkesbarTe Coal company at South wilkesbarre today. The names of the killed are:
 Robert Humblebee, carpenter, married
 Arthur Jones, company hand, single.
 Matthew Phillips. miner, married.
 James NcGlynn. laborer, married.
 The fatal injured are. George Knorr' Charles Stafford and Thomas Evans.
 The most seriously injured are: Neils Sweeney, John Rustin, Dominiek Hart and James Pechms.
 The men had lowered into the shaft which Is no feet deep, a box of dynamite weighing 50 pounds. When the bottom of the shaft was reached, Phillips took the box off the carriage. It slipped from his hands and fell to the ground The concussion exploded the dynamite and the twenty men who were in the imme- diate vicinity were hurled in all direc- tions. The woodwork at the bottom Of the shaft was tom and scattered about
 The mine has the reputation of being the most gasious in the entire region and at first it was reported that the gas had exploded; that a score of miners had been killed outright Fortunately, however, the gas did not explode. The accident caused the big colliery to suspend oper- ations for the day.

ENGINEERS GET
 INCREASE IN WAGES
ALL THROTTLE PULLEHs ON THE
 SOUTHERN RAILWAY WILL BE GIVEN STANDARD PAY-coN- pucToRs ALSO EXPECT RAISE.

Knoxville, Tenn. December s-An en- gineers of the Southern railways system have been granted an increase in wages. The increase is from the pay which the engineers have been receiving to what is known as standard pay, AZ cents per mile for freight engineers and cents for passenger engineers. and pay for overtime when laid out. etc. The increase will amount to at least 10 per cent, but the best feature is that the standard scale is more satisfactory to the men. It was necessary to send a committee of one man from each division of the road to Washington before the matter was settled.
 The conductors of the system stand an excellent chance of getting better money for their services A committee is now at Washington for the purpose of con- ferring with General Manager Ackert. The conductors also want the standard wage schedule and will probably get 1t.

Mir. Yerkes Says the Unions in Eng
 land Are Not Perfection.


 New York, December 9l-Charles T. Yerles. who has arrived here from Eu- rope to spend the holidays, in discussing the labor unions of the United States and England. said: "The unions have not reached the same perfection in Eng land that they have here. Here the unions aim to raise the standard of labor to that of the best workman. In England the best is lexeled down to the worst. The result Is that the mechanic is dis couraged. That accounts in part for the success of the American invasion. I be- lieve every mechanic should fit himself to become a capitalist. He may never be- come one. but he should be ready to take advantage of opportunities.
 ''I believe in labor organizations. T be- neve that labor has as much right to or ganize es capital. I do not believe in trusts as they are now organized. and I believe that it will eventually come to pass that capital will be glad to co-ope- rate with labor"
 MT. Yerkes said 1t was much easier digging his London tunAels than it was the subway in New York as the ground through which it had to go was blue clay, which cuts like cheese. while there were two difficulties to be overcome in the construction of the tunnel in New York which he did not have to consider. They were the flint rock and the founda- tions of the high buildings
