The flies were bad, but since the com

Goth.
The board of managers next proceeded to

Roosevelt to Mitchell.

Washington, Oct. s. President
Roosevelt has requested Mr.. Mitchell,
president of the mine workers union to
use his influence to induce the men to
go to work with the promise Of the
appointment of a committee to investi-
gate their grievances and a further
promise that the president will urge on
congress legislation in accordance with
the recommendation of that committee.
Tie president sent Carroll ID. Wright,
co nmissaionaerv of Labor, to Philadel-
phia to meet Mr. Mitchell and Mr..
Wright reported that after the PROPOSE
ii IN had been submitted, Mr.. Mitchell
lid that he wanted to take it under con-
sideration.
The miners union took vote Tues
day on the question: whether they shall
continue the strike, but this is on the
proposition of the coal operators and
not upon thesuggestion of the president
to Mr.. Mitchell. 1t is expected that
the miners will take up the suggestion
of the president and decide upon it af.
ter it has been presented by Mr.. Nit
chelL
Commissioner of Immigration Sar.
gent has returned from Philadelphia,
but had no information to commune
cate as he did not see Mr.. Mitchell in

Strikers Friends.

Glenns Falls, N. Y. Oct. IA
mob of fully 5000 sympathizers of the
Hudson Valley railway strikers paraded
the streets, stopping all cars as they
came through, storming the cars and
breaking the windows and cutting the
trolley ropes. So great did the disturb
ance become that Sheriff Gill ordered out
company d of the National Guard, sta.
toned here, to disperse the mob. When
the rioters began their work, the major
ity of the nonunion employees of the com
pany gave themselves into the hands OF
the police for protection, but some de-
serted to the strikers. Four cars were
stalled on the switch. and all the win
dows in them were broken.
The trouble was precipitated by the
calling of mass meeting by the Fed.
Grafton of Labor. This brought out an
to run the cars, and It being evident that
the police were unable to cope with the
situation, the sheriff was appealed to,
and he asked aid of the militia. 1t was
thought several of the strikers would go
back to work. but this demonstration
may make a change.
One of the nonunion employees, named
Curcer, of Brooklyn, left his car. as the
stones were coming too thick for him.
The mob seized him, and he is in a seri-
Gus condition. under the care OF physi-
clan.

Black Diamond, Wash, Oct. e.
Eleven men were killed and three in
jured in a mine explosion on the fourth
level at the Lawson mine, a mile from
this place, about nine O'Clock at
night. The men employed in the work.
ings or shutes were instantly killed.
Two gangwaymen and a driver, work.
ing farther in the level, or gang way
evidently escaped the effect of the ex-
plosion and instinctively started toward
the slope for safety. The deadly after
damp swept down on them and they
succumed after not more than few
minutes struggle against the fate their
experience as miners told them lay in
store for them.
Only the bodies of the men in the
workings are burned, showing that the
sheet of flame which followed the ex-
plosion did not extend to the slope,
though it is declared by some watchers
to have been seen from the air shafts.
Those miners whose bodies were burned
were discovered lying in cramped
positions, their legs closely drawnsup
toward their bodies and their hands
clinched. Dust covered their faces so
they were unrecognizable when first
taken from the mine. Their clothes
were torn and thickly coated by coal
dust. The other bodies were not dis
figured. No Four level in the Lawson
mine has not been opened long. An
auxiliary slope has been driven to this
level or gangway and force of men
is at work extending the slope from
No. level to the fourth gangway.
A small shute runs from the main slope
of the fourth level.
The day Of the accident the second
shift went on duty at p. m. expect

We're working on No. 4 south and four
on No. north. Nineteen men had
been assigned to duty on No. 3 level.
Prior to the entrance of the first shift
the mine had been inspected for gas
and before the second shift went on
duty the dust was sprinkled. OF the
fourteen men in the crew ON No A

toward the auxiliry slope.
