RESCUED BY SWIMMERS.
Three Brave Men Bring Imprisoned
I.abOrcrs to Safety.

New York, Doc. 19-Three daring swim
mers to-day rescued the two Italian la
borers who for more than forty hours
had been imprisoned in the East river
tunnel Of the Pennsylvania railroad by n
cave-in at the Long Island City end OF
the under water bore.
Surrounded by water which threatened
to eneuf them tho moment the compress
cd air should fail to hold IT in check the
two entomhed men had kept up constant
communication with the surface by rap
ping on the pipes which brought them air.
rhcy were almost exhausted when the
three men swan up to tho platform on
which they were huddled and induced the
frightened men to plunge into the water.
The two strong swimmers of the three
each took a man ON his back while the
third swan alongside ready 10 lend assist
ance.
Ever since the cave-in. which filled the
shore end Of the bore where tho men
were working with water more than a
100 laborers had worked desperately to
sink a shaft to the point where the i'm
prisoned men were thought to he located.
Late to-day they reached the concrete top
Of the tunnel. Then the work became so
tedious and slow that it seemed the men
could not be reached while alive
In the meantime, powerful pumps were
working to overcome the inflow sof
water. At first they did not seem to
gain. but finally there came slight
lowering of the level. \ rowboat was
sent for but when II arrived it was seen
that it must be hours before the water
should be sufficiently reduced to permit
IL to enter. Finally some one suggested
that rescucrs swim to the exhausted
men.
BENJAMIN Lewis. a cousin of one of
the imprisoned men, Charles Murdorn
and Philip Edlondo. volunteered for the
task, and plunged into tn" icy water.
Rarely two feet separated the tunnel
top from the surface OF the flood water
Then followed anxious moments for
the watchers outside. At last splash
ing of water was heard and Lewis APP
peared in view with one OF the entombed
men on his back. Edlondo next APP
peared with the second lahorer clineng
desperately to his shoulders.
Rescuers and rescued were dined by
the tunnel contractors tonight. To-
morrow work will be resumed.

IN my last annual message for an in
lestigaton by the department
OF commerce and labor OF gem
eral labor conditions, especial at
tention to he paid to the condi-
lions of child labor and child Labor
legislation In the several states. Such
an investigation should take into ac-
count the various problems with which
the question Of child labor ls connected.
II Is true that these problems can be
actually met in most casea only by the
states themselve. but II would be well
for the nation to endeavor to secure
and publish comprehensive informa-
lion as to the conditions of the labor
of children IN the different states, so as
10 spur up those that are behlndhand,
ana To secure approximately uniform
legislation OF high character among
the several states. In such a republic
as ours the one thing that we cannot
afford TO neglect is the problem OF turn
Ing out decent citizens. The future
OF the nation depends upon the citizen
ship OF the generations TO come; the
children OF today are those who tomor-
row Will shape the destiny OF our land,
and we cannot afford to neglect them

mended that the natina government

protection from abuse OF children AM

States. | lay the matter before you

ing women. The introduction OF women
into industry is working change and
disturbance IN the domestic and social
life OF the nation. The decrease In
marriage, and especially In the birth
rate, has been coincdent with It. We

be made; but surely It can be made
