WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, 1902.

The Hopkinton Leader says James
LeGassick is Manchester man. He Is
no more Manchester man, than any
member Of the board of supervisors
should be. All Manchester asks Is q
square deal and no honest person will
object to that. James LeGassick is q
broad minded man and while he will
favor no particular locality, will serve
Ill parts of the county honestly and i'm
partially.

Suddenly there was terrific ex-
plosion, followed quickly by another,
and then another.
'Those are the ammonia DRUMS"
shouted Lennon to Fire Chief kellogg.
'Tell your men to be careful There
is danger Of suffocation." Twenty
four drums of 100 pounds of ammonia
each exploded before the reserve sup
ply in the ammonia cistern was
reached. That ignition almost RACED
the entire plant from its foundation.
AT 2:30 a. m. the flames burst through
the heavy fire wall which separated
the big hog house from the other build
ings.
Steadily the fire crept against the
wind and through the Office building,
which was now in flames. Not scrap
of paper Of any kind was saved out
of the office. About this time a burn.
ing roof fell upon bunch of live hogs,
and their squeals were terrible. When
the hog house caught all streams were
turned in that direction, but the wat.

were $500 dressed hogs and 100000
pounds Of pork product. After the fire
got good Roadway in the hog house

plant was abandoned. The shops,

M1TcHELI'ss OPENING STATEMENT
He Brings Up Recognition of the U. NJ. w.
Very Distinctly.

very Dl1tlnCtly.
Mftchelps statement was a repetition
of the arguments he has heretofore
used in supporting the strike 40 that
the work was not sufficiently remu-
nerattve; that 1t was more dangerous
than similar work; that the pay -sys-
h TEN is dishonest - the pay by the
car instead of the legal ton; that eight
hours is the standard days work in
mines. In the matter of comparative
wages Mitchell named the bituminous
coal miners and the miners in silver,
gold, copper and iron mines us men.
who get better wages for similar and
less hazardous work.
The recognition Of the U. M. w.
is the most interesting question be-
fore the commission, principally be-
cause, the proposition made by the
operators upon which the commission
is founded absolutely shuts out the
U. M. W.. and requires the investiga-
ton to be one purely between the men
in each mine and their employers. But
Mitchell ignored this in his opening
and said: 1--WE demand recognition
because weknow that permanent peace
and friendly relations can be best main
tanned through trade agreement with
the organization which our people have
elected to join. Fully 80 per cent. of
the employees of the anthracite coal
mines are members of it from choice,
they desire to retain their membership
and they desire to retain their men,

ers of America that was requested by
the president to end the strike; it was
the United Mine Workers that sent the
men back to work, and 1t is the United
Mine Workers of America that pledged
to accept the award of this commits
sion."
In closing Mitchell outlined an agree
ment between the U. NJ. w. and the
operators covering the anthracite
mines. During the hearing the state
ment was brought out for the first
time since the late strike was inaug
urated that the union had disburseG
81 100000 among the union and non
union men who were on strike.

- Status OF the NOh-UniOn Men.
One of the questions which came up
before the commission was the advis-
ability of hearing counsel on behalf Of
the non-union men who remained at
work during the strike. Attorney John
T. Lenahan, one of the, attorneys for
the non-union men, asked the commits
sion what his status before the arbi-
traitors was. Judge Gray informed him
the question would be taken under
consideration, and that an answer
would probably be given him today.
Mitchell, before taking the witness
stand, presented the miners side of
the case in 6,OOO-word statement.
