Big Coal Mine of Joseph Letter
Is Badly Wrecked.
EIGHTEEN MORE ARE WOUNDED

While indications Point to Gas Explo'
sion Yet on Account of Nonunion
Miners Only Being Employed sus'
picons Point to Other Causes.
Carbondale, H., April 3.-A report
from Zeigler, H., 16 miles from here.
says there has been fearful gas ex-
plosion in the oseph Letter coal mine.
Twenty miners were killed and Is
wounded.
According to reports received here,
the entire opening of the mine at the
surface is wrecked.
Although the explosion is attributed
to gas, suspicion exists that there
may have been another cause.
Only nonunion men are employed in
the mine since the strike for increas
ed wages some months ago, resulting
in riots and the presence of militia
and armed guards.
The military troops were receitly
ordered withdrawn.

THE TROUBLE AT MOSCOW
Is in Very Critical Stage Though Not
Yet Beyond Control.

Moscow. Oct. 1O.-The majority of the
factories here, especially i'll the great
Industrial quarter of Zamoskvoretch,
which is across the river from the rest
of the city, joined in the strike of
printers and bakers. today. The move
ments threatens to become general
though it is opposed by Il strong
minority of the movement.
The streets are comparatively tram
quill. Several times, today, professions
of striking workmcn in which red flags
were carried. were held in the industrial
quarters and the police were forced to
dispersc the crowds, but aside from the
affray, today, at the Liebrecht furni-
turc factory. no blOodshed has been re-
ported, and the troops were not forced
to resort to arms. Crowds of rOughs
started to break the windows in the
TvcrSkoi boulevard, the center of the
previous disorders. which HAS been rc-
opened to traffic, but they fled on the
@pproaCh of the police.
The Worlmen generally are demand
ing an S-hour day and il large increase
in wages. Among their unique de-
mands is one for the abolition of relg-
iou3 lectures by priests in the factories
md the substitution of lectures on
economic and political subjects.
No newspapers will appear, tomor-
row. The employees Of the electric
street railroads by secret ballot voted
to continue the strike and as Il conse-
Iuencc no cars are running.
In most of the factories there are two
parties, one for and one against the
strike and there are constant encount-
erS between them.
