FOURTEEN men ENTOMBED IN FRENCH
MINE THREE WEEKS ARE RESCUED
Survived Many Days After Search Had Been Abandoned-
Lived Decomposed Horsefesh and Hay---Others
Said to Have Been Heard.

Lens, France, March 30.-Fourteen
of the 1900 miners who We're entombed
in the coal mines at Courriers 20 days
ago, were taken from the mine alive
and well today These had lived on
hay found in one of the underground
stables and morsels of food which they
took into the mine with them nearly
three weeks ago. All attempts at res
cue of the entombed were abandoned
more than two weeks ago.
Finders Stupefied.
The sudden appearance of the i'm
prisoned men caused stupefication. A
gang of salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see a group of miners, ter
ribly haggard. exhausted and with eyes
sunken, appear from a remote part OF
the pit. The strongest of the party
said they had broken out of a distant
gallery 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 men
were able to talk feebly but sensibly.
They all wished to go home immedi-
ately. Doctors, however, prevented
them with difficulty from so doing
Later crowds besieged the mines in
the hope of hearing of further escapes,
necessitating the employment of a
strong police force and detachments
of troops to maintain order.
Others Are Heard.
II is said other entombed miners are
alive, and about to be brought out,
their signals having been heard. One
of the men rescued today said for the
first eight Gays the party ate bark off
the timbering of the mine. Later they
found a decomposed body of horse
which they cut up and ate with hay.
The survivors brought up portions of
the decomposed horse meat.

Springfield, H., March 30-Repre-
sentative Edward d. Shurtleff, speaker
of the last legislature, will be endors-
ed by the Anu-Saloon league of HI
nois. MI Shurtleff has made his peace
with the league and will not be oppos-

This announcement came as sur

It was confirmed by F. c. Stanley,

"Mr. Shurtleff has seen the hand
writing on the wall and crawled into

In view of the fact that Speaker

reconciliation is surprising.
Yates Friends Hopeful.
Springfield. Ill. March 30.-Ex-Gov-

yesterday. 1t was the first general
meeting of the friends of the former
governor since he started in his cam
paign for United States senator. Ev-
cry senatorial district outside of Cook

sal opinion expressed was that in
many counties in the state prior to eX
Governor Yates visit it was difficult
to obtain from the rank and file an
expression upon the senatorial ques
tion, but that after he had addressed
the people in these counties they show
ed enthusiasm in favor of him and the
things for which he stands.

force be enlisted as was done in the

Mitchell, in calling the national con-
vention of United Mine Workers of

bituminous operators asking President

investigate mining conditions.
Half Now willing.
Mitchell said after reading the reso-
lutions he had sent a telegram to
the president telling him 80 per cent
OF the tonnage in the states mentioned
in the resolution are willing to pay
the advance asked. The communica-
ton was placed on file for future ref
erence.
Perry Presents Resolution.
President Perry of the Illinois mi
ners offered the following resolution:
Whereas. The operators of the cen
traI competitive district have, as q
whole, refused to grant our demands
to restore the 1903 mining and day
wage scale, and many individual op-
orators have expressed their willing
ness and desire to grant the restora-
ton of the above scale;
Authorizes Separate Agreement.
Resolved. That this convention,
now assembled, do authorize the ma
tionaI and district officials to make
agreements with any and all parties
engaged in the operation of coal mines,
the same to provide for the restora-
ton of the scale paid in 1903. for min
ing, day labor and dead work, for
period of two years, beginning April
C zJxr
and the equivalent of the above de-
mands to be the basis in all other
bituminous districts, and that where
such agreements are issued, miners
and mine laborers shall abide thereby
and work in accordance with the
same"
Several Must Sign.
Replying to questions, Perry said
the intention of the resolution is that
all scales signed at any place where
the agreement should be secured must
be signed by the district officials or
national officials, or both together He
said it was not the intention that a
district official or any other official
could make any scale with an operator
except so far as had been provided for
by the convention.
All Interested Decide.
He said local conditions should be
settled by all parties interested.
Where the same company owned mines
in two districts, the scale must be
signed by the company at all of its
properties before the scale could be
signed by anyone. Perry said the res
olution was not intended to settle con-
ditions but the scale. An operator who
signed would be compelled to pay the
scale.
Referred Only to Union Mines.
The resolution referred to union
mines only, and not to nonunion mines
and conformed to unions as they have

but the report of the scale committee
had virtually nullified it.
Mitchell Gives Advice.
President Mitchell said, 81 believe
the best interests of the miners would
be conserved by signing the scale
wherever it is paid. l know how pop
ular il is to talk strike but also know
what difference there is when passion
has cooled. l know there have been
large operators who have opposed the
advance who will not wait 10 days be-
fore signing the scale. 1t is for us TO
decide what will be best for the inter
ests we represent and what is our duty
TO the country.
Would Settle With Part.
MY best Judgment is we should
make settlements with those operators
who Will pay our scale and employ
union men. l shall not be a party to
and there shall be no signature from
the national office attached to any con-
tract if the Perry resolution is adopted
and does not carry with it the employ
ment of union men, scale of 1908 and
in the southwest an advance of 3 cents
per ton at basing points, run of mine,
and full enjoyment of every privilege
heretofore enjoyed.
Half VIII Pay Advance.
81 have no doubt one-half the ton
mage in the central district will pay
the advance. One-third of the tonnage
spoke here yesterday and expressed
willingness to sign. l know of mil
lions of tonnage that will sign the adj
vance in addition to that which has al
ready openly favored the advance. And
some of this tonnage through its rep
voted against paying the
advance"
