WORK OF RESCUE is SLOW,
SCORES OF coRPsEs REMAIN IN
MINES AT MoNoNGAH.
The Relief Fund Grows Quite Rapidly,
Over $25,ooo Being Subscribed
on Monday.

Monongah, w. Va. - When dark.
ness came last night total of rs
bodies had been brought from the two
wrecked mines at Monongah.
Rescue work while slow, was pro-
crossing smoothly and as rapidly as
due precaution for the rescuers would
permit.
The company issued a statement
Monday in which the claim was made
that later developments lead the Off
cials to believe there were only 260
men in the mine when the explosion
occurred. The statement, however, is
believed to be purely conjecture and
no one who is familiar with conditions
here takes 1t seriously. 1t is insisted
by miners of the vicinity that 406 men
were checked off as entering the two
mines Friday morning and in addition
to that number there were many hav-
ing duties in the mine who are not
under the check system.
That new legislation affecting the
mining industry of West Virginia will
be passed at an extra session of the
legislature Is the opinion of Lieut..
Gov. Joseph McDermott.
Over $4,000 was added to the vari.
Gus relief funds Monday.
The fourth day was repetition of
its three predecessors in the matter of
pathetic scenes. Hundreds of women
remained near the mines all day,
screaming and crying

ment. Meanwhile 500 men will be
brought here to take the places of the
strikers. Such was the decision of
the executive committee of the Mine
Owners association reached Monday.
The change from Wednesday to Thurs.
day was made to allow time to get
men from other points to replace the
strikers.
Officers of the mine owners assert
that they are depending largely ON de.
serters from the federation. They will
permit men belonging to the American
Federation of Labor or affiliated
unions to go to work, and will not bar
men belonging to any labor organiza-
tion except the Western Federation
and the Industrial Workers of the
World. The streets of Goldfield are
crowded with men and the air is filed
with wild rumors.
Gov. Sparks will come to Goldfield
ON Thursday. The troops now here
will be scattered through the camp
and will practically guard the mines
The card system as used at Cripple
Creek will be introduced. Frank A.
Keith, general manager of the Tono-
