COAL STRIKE AT HAND
Miners, Headed by Mitchell, Debate in
Convention.

indianapolis, Ind, March 3O.-The
prolonged conference of the bituminous
miners and operators of Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania,
has broken up without agreement, and a
coal strike affecting 500 miners is
now at hand.
Only the intervention of unforeseen
circumstances can prevent a cessation
Of work by $4,000 miners after mid
night Saturday, when the present agree
ment expires. On top of this comes the
Announcement that 100000 mine work
ers in the anthracite field will be in
structed to quit at the same time. These
actions also affect 2O6,5OO miners in
other districts and involve, all told,
b34,5OO workmen in the sixteen states
and territories
Miners in Convention.
President Mitchell called the national
convention of the United Mine Work
.ers of America to order today.
President H. c. Perry of the Illinois
miners offered the following resolu-
ton:
"Whereas, the operators of the cen
trail competitive coal district have as a
whole refused to grant our demands
and restore the 1908 mining and dav
wage scale, and,
"Whereas, many individual operators
have expressed their willingness and
above scale, therefore, be it,
"Resolved, That this convention now
assembled do authorize the national and
district officials to make agreements
with any and all parties engaged in the
operation of coal mines, the same tc

MINERS EN1OMBED
20 DAYS EMERGE
French Mine Gives Up Prisoners
Who Lived for Days on
Hay and Bark.

Of the 1900 miners who were entombed
in the coal mines at Corrieres twenty
DAYS ago were taken from the mine
alive and we'll today. They had lived
on hay found in one Of the underground
stables and the, morsels q, food which
they took into. the mine with them near
" three weeks ago. All attempts, to
rescue the entombed had been aban-
doned more than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance Of the i'm
nrisoned men caused stupefaction. A
Sang of salvagers had just completed
Their nights work when they were
startled to see group OF miners, terri
bly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear from remote part
, of pit No. 2.
Entombed Since March 10.
The strongest of the party said they
where they had been entombed since
the disaster of March 10.
The rescued men were taken up the
| elevator, but were unable to see, owing
to the dazzling daylight. The mine
| officials were deeply affected as the
weeping survivors were taken to hos
pital.
The men were able to talk feebly
but sensibly. They all asked for news
| Of relatives or friends and wished to
20 home Immediately. The doctors,
however, prevented them with Difficult
| ty from 50 doing.
Later crowds besieged the mines in
ths hsRs Gd hearing he OF tSothee o
strong police force and detachments of
troops to maintain order. l
It is said that others OF cne entombed
miners are alive and about to be
brought out, their signals having been
heard.
One of the men rescued today, man
named Nemy, said that for the first
eight days the party ate the bark off
the timbering of the mine. Later they
found the decomposed body of horse
which they cut up and ate with hay.
The survivors brought up portions of
the decomposed horse meat.
Nemy, who was the most lucid of the
miners who escaped, graphically de-
scribed their imprisonment as follows:
"After the explosion I CROPPED my
way about, stumbling over bodies and
seeking refuge from the gases. !
found some comrades sheltered in a re,
mote niche. We ate earth and bark
for eight days.
Driven Back to Tomb.
"We continued to grope among the
bodies, seeking for an outlet from oul
p.4son but were forced back time and
time again. We found some hay which
we at, and two days after, we found q
dead horse, which we cut up and ate
with the hay and bark. We suffered
most for the want Of water. Finally
we became desperate and separated into
three parties and communicated with
each other by shouts. IN. ..----....
"Last night we felt draft Of fresh
air, which finally guided us to an open
ing.
The doctors have forbidden the sur
vivors to do any further talking. Vas,
crowds of people surround the hospita
where the escaped men are being
btreated,

The I.ansdon Case.

The people of Idaho should watch the
case of the State VS. Robert I.ansdon to
see that iustive is done and justice can
not be done unless I.ansdon faces a Jury.
Any effort by Republican officials to
dismiss the proceedings against Lans-
don will be Justly regarded as plea OF
confession and avoidance.
Lansdon's case in nutshell is that as
assessor of Washington county he col
lected $t6o.5o taxes upon sheep from
a man named Brown, afterwards Sc
cured rebate of $40 Of this sum from
sthe commissioners upon the grounds
that Brown had paid that much taxes
.on the sheep, under the grazing law, in
Idaho county and had applied for the
rebate. Brown emphatically states he
never received the rebate, never made
the application for it, paid no tax in
Idaho county and was not entitled to
any rebate
There Is no possibility of any ordinary
mistake in the matter and L.ansdon
should face jury.
II seems plain that Republican leaders
viii exert themselves to the utmost to
have the case dismissed, without trial,
but such proceeding would only aggra-
yate matters. That L,ansdon. in spite
OF these charges, was elected secretary
OF state should in no wise influence the
court in the matter. That these charges
were not trumped up by political oppon-
ents is evidenced by the fact that Isans-
don lost Washington county by one
thousand majority, when he carried the
county IN the two elections preceding I
hrst as assessor, then as sheriff. Ii his |
friends and neSghboFs thought him the
victim OF a conspiracy this result would |
not have been possible.
The Citizen hopes Mr.. Lansdon can
clear himself of the charges, but the |
matter IS lar too serious TO be hushed
up without trial
