1t is not known how much powder
was exploded. That cannot be told to-
day. Nobody appears at this time to
know Just how much was stored there
and until that is known II cannot be
told. But whatever amount there was

sion. The shock was something terrific

CAUSED BY POWDER MAN.
II is stated that the accident was
caused by the powder man, John
Burgie, who is said to have gone into
the mine with lighted candle. That
he should have done so seems incom-
prehenslble. But It appears to be
fact 1t seems to be one of those des-
perate chances that miners so frequent
ly take. He must have known that
he was counting death at the time he
entered the chamber where the ex-
plosives were stored. Yet he appeared
TO have gone in with the flaming
torch perfectly obllyious to danger
either TO himself or his comrades.

the proposition Of July |.
The proposition accepted by the men
was In effect the one given to President
Curran by the state board OF arbitra-
tlon earlier In the day, although the
proposition In its proper form was not
placed before the men.
THE PROPOSITION
This proposition was as follows:
ITO the freight handlers OF Chicago:
The Illinois State Board of Arbitration.
after a thorough investigation OF the
present freight handlers strike In Chi
cago, and the complications which have
grown out of that strike, recommends
10 the officers and members OF the five
local unions Of the Inter Freight Han
dlers and Warehousemeus Union Of
America, that the men return imme-
diately to their respective places OF em-
ployment and apply for the positions
held by them previous 10 the strike.
I'VE further recommend that the en-
ployes Of each Of the several railroads
appoint a committee TO confer with the
management OF the railro; j by which
they are employed for the purpose OF
adjusting existing difficulties"
The railroad managers when told OF
the vote to return TO work, said that
wherever possible the old men would be
taken back a small percentage Of the
new men, hovsver, would be retained
for time at least
Nowhere was the news OF the settle
ment received with more pleasure than
at the warehouses where thousands
OF men gathered from other points Of

strikers, were longing TO return TO their
homes. They had been well fed and
given good sleeping quarters but the

The merchants had intended to make
a determined EFFORT to resume ship

OF peace again appeared last night they
decided 10 wait a little longer before
