Man Entombed in France Early In
March Comes Out Alive.

Lens, France, April 5.-Another liv.
ing survivor of the mIne disaster at
Courrieres March 10 was discovered
and brought out Of the pit.
The finding of another miner alive
after twenty-five days entombment
caused intense excitement. The man
was found in pit 4. He was in good
condition. According to his first
statements this man, Auguste Berton,
suffered less than the preceding res
cued men. He is thirty-two years old
and was born in the same place as
Nemy, the leader of the thirteen men
rescued March 30.
AS the news spread through the re-
gion 1t caused extreme evaporation
against the engineers who have been
directing the salvage work. M. Leon,
the state engineer, when he arrived
at the pit was surrounded by a crowu
OF people, who cursed and swore at
him, one woman going so far as to
strike the engineer.
Berton described his experience as
follows: 81 found some lunch bags
which had belonged to the men who
had been killed by the explosion. and
/ lived on the food I found in them
| suffered from the cold and took
clothing and shoes from the dead"
The. crowd several times during the
day obr6ke through the Gordon OF
troops, surrounding the pit and ex-
/ cltedly questioned the salvagers, who
stated that no further traces of sur
viVors had been found Several bod
les OF miners. with the appearance OF
not having been dead long, and liv,

MAY MODIFY DEMANDS
ANTHRACITE MINERS TO SUBMIT
NEW PROPOSITION.
HARD COAL PEACE is IN SIGHT
II is Believed II Operators Meet
Them Half Way Trouble Will End.
President Mitchell Says Situation
is Satisfactory.

New York, April Sit is the gen.
eral belief of those who are closely
watching the situation about the an
thracite miners headquarters in this
city that the miners have definitely
decided to modify their demands, and
will present them to the operators
probably this afternoon. Some OF the
members OF the committee privately
admitted before coming TO New York
that the original demands were great.
er than the miners really expected to
get and the leaders could afford to
trim them down and still leave the
workers enough to be satisfied. 1t Is
believed that if the operators will
meet the men half way on some or
the demands they have made. such
as a reconstruction of the conciiiation
board, an eight-hour day and an in.
crease in pay for some classes of labor
the miners would seriously consider
the proposition OF renewing the strike
commission award for not more than
one year. The miners have all along
asserted they would not bind them
selves to any agreement for three
years.
All the district leaders received re-
ports from the anthracite fields and
notwithstanding reports that more
coal was mined than yesterday, they
declared the situation was satisfac-
tory to them. President Mitchell is
devoting almost as much time to the
situation in the bituminous field as
he is to the hard coal region. He Is
hourly In receipt Of kilograms from
the west. When asked how matters
stood In the soft coal fields, he said:
Entirely satisfactory to me. Every
thing Is turning out,as expected, and
I believe, the situation in the west will
soon be, cleared up" GU .,
When ,Presidents Mitchell was n In
formed that President Roosevelt had
declined to interfere with the soft
coal troubles, he showed great inter
est and inquired If the text OF the
presidents communication had been
on the presidents action, but he plain
ly showed he was much gratified at
the stand the president has taken.
In the bituminous field there were
more mines in operation than on the
previous day, and many more are to
resume within a day or two. The
number of men at work in the Pitts.
burg district, however, was not as
large as was expected. This was due.
It Is said, to the factional troubles
within the miners union In that terri.
tory. Negotiations are under way be-
tween the miners and operators in
several districts outside OF the cen.
tral and southwestern territories, and
while no agreements have yet been
reached. no serious trouble is antict
pated.
