FranticalIy TO Dig Through Great
Mass of Earth that Separates En-
tombed Men From Light of Day.
Bristol, Va, Aug. 18.-Fifty men are
entombed in the Clinch mountain tun-
mel at CIinchport, Va, as result OF
a cave-in, which occurred Friday.
1t is not known whether the men are
dead or alive, but the work of re=cue
is being rushed as fast as possible. Air
is being pumped in the tunnel by sever
al pumps, for a distance of 700 feet,
and a large force of men is working
in an effort to rescue the unfortunates
before they perish, if they are not al
ready dead
The cave-in occurred Unexpectedly,
and it is not known who is response
bic.
The men entombed are chiefly ma
tives of that mountainous section of
southwest Virginia, and the excite
ment and anxiety is intense.
Men, women and children are at the
mouth of the tunnel waiting news of
those dear to them inside and pitiable
scenes are being enacted. Women
are screaming and wringing their
hands and crying Historically for faith
ers, brothers and loved ones who are
prisoners in the black hole and per-
haps dead and dying.
The work of rescue will continue as
rapidly as possible, though it cannot
be stated with any degree of certain
ty how long it will take to reach the
men. No bodies have as yet been
recovered.
The tunnel is being driven through
Clinch mountain and is to be one mile
in length. 1t has already been ex-
tended about 700 feet, and the men
are a considerable distance in the hole.
The contract for the tunnel was let
to contractors some months ago by
the South and Western at $2,200,00
and is to be one of the longest and
most expensive tunnels in the south.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.
Many Petitions From Labor Organiza-
tons for It.

Many members of Congress have made
speeches earnestly favoring the restriction
of immigration. Sometimes these speeches
have been made upon bills to which
they appropriate, while at other times ad-
vantage is taken of the latitude OF general
debate on appropriation bills to discuss the
subject of immigration. There must be a
reason for this, and II seems to be found
in the character of petitions that are pre-
scented from time to time in both Senate
and House. From time to time the Con-
gressional Record shows column or more
of these petitions presented by one man,
all praying for the rigid enforcement OF
immigration regulations and the enactment
of such additional laws as VIII afford pro-
lection against the depressing Industrial
effect Of the unrestricted admission of for
eigners to the United States" These petit
tiCns come from labor organizations largely
and nearly every organization in a state of
some different order will send the petitions
In at one time. These petitions have been
so numerous that they have made quite an
impression upon senators and members of
Congress and probably resulted in the
different speeches that have been made
The next thing of interest will be to OBJ
serve the effect upon Congress. VIII this
agitation result in restrictive legisla ton?
The flood of immigrants that have been
coming to this country, the disclosures
made that Austrian emigration to the
United States has been encouraged In va
rious ways and che feeling that the class
OF immigrants that come here from south
ern Europe are detriment to the country
may impress Congress very soon with the
idea that something ought to be done. On
the other hand the scarcity of cheap labor
and the demand for this labor In the coal
mines. in railroad building and on the
farms. has caused some men to pause and
wonder whether the restriction OF immigra-
ton might not result In such an Increase In
the price OF labor as to again send the price
of living further skyward. OF course II is
well understood that labor organizations
want to restrict immigration In order to de-
crease the supply of cheap labor, which
they believe viii result in increa sing wa ses
The immigration problem becomes one of
Intense interest and the tendency is toward
restriction.
