Grafton The mine operators report today
that more of the Western Federation
men who formerly worked in the mines
have returned to work after signing the
agreement to renounce the Western Fed
GRAFTON.
The Federation men deny this.
If any considerable number of strike
breakers are to be brought here it is
becoming evident that the plan is to
quietly bring them in in small lots and
provide places. for them and put them to
work with the least ostentation possible.
The United States labor commissioners
are due here tomorrow and already a
better feeling is beginning to prevail.
Both the mine operators and the labor
leaders say tonight that they welcome the
commissioners and the officers of the
miners union are positive in their state
ment that no violence will be attempted
and that the strike will be settled quietly.
Tonight Secretary Erb Of the Mine
Owners association said arrangements
have been made to bring number of
miners from California, Utah, Montana,
Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming, and that
about 450 will arrive soon.
No information as to their movements
or the time when they will arrive can
be obtained, however, and the union men
characterize the statement as false.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-@.In past years
many communications have been received
by the post Office departn9 ent requesting
I,the delivery of so-caIled Santa Claus let

pafts of the country. btit the requests
have always been denied, the department
taking the stand that letters of import

letters through error; that it would be
exposing to private paDies, confidential
jcorrespondence; that the letters might
I.contain valuable inclosuues and that such
a practice would not he in keeping with
/ the principles of the safety of the mails.
Now, however, Postmaster General
Meyer has adopted IpDre liberal attitude
toward the situation, as indicated by his
action of today In issuing an order to
postmasters all over. the country Ito
whom letters full of trust and pleading
ar coming in such numbers from the
little ones) to let the PEOPLE of their cities

matter. The order follows:
Hereafter and urtil the close of the
first day Of January, 1908, postmasters are
directed to deliver all letters arriving at
, their respective spostodices addressed
plainly and unmisthkable TO Santa Claus
without any other terms of expressions
identifying the person for whom such LETT

charitable purposes.
I'm the event that claim should be

6O-MILE GALE

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Lashed by the
fierce blows of heavy northeasterner
New York is tonight in the wintry
clutches of a storm of wind, hail and
rain which has completely swept the
whole Atlantic coast from Hatteras to
Maine hanpered the shipping, demoral-
lied lines of communication With the
outside world and threatened all ships
under sail or steam that souoht to make
port in the teeth of the 6O-mile gale.
The powerful blasts snapped off twen-
ty feet of the 3OO-foot brick chimney of
the New York Steam Heating company
on Sutton place III -Shis city and sent it
toppling on a wooden shack in which
Watchman David Dooley was standing.
The man was instantly killed.
Several tons of brick and mortar fell
upon the house of Henry Speitel and
crushed through the entire structure Sc
verely injuring Mrs. Speitel and her two
daughters. Two other houses adjoining
were damaged.
In another part of town an unknown
man was killed by a falling hagpole.
Sweeps Atlantic Coast
The storm center, which started in
Mississippi, swerved eastward and swept
up the Atlantic coast From the north
east came fierce gale, driving heavy
clouds of rain and cutting sleet follow

then to rain again. but the wind doomed
steadily along at sixty miles an hour.
The rain hung to telegraph and telephone
lines and froze, and the wires snapped.
while scores of poles toppled over.
Both telegraph companies had much
difficulty in even partially restoring COM
munication in any direction. Westward
from New York, wire communication was
almost impossible. A single wire to Bos-
ton was all that remained tonight from
the scores of telegraph trunk lines
through New England. North, south and
west there was much wire interruption
from sleet and wind, but New England
seems to have been the worst sufferer.
Railroad traffic suffered much delay,

HEROIC EFFORTS. MADE TO
SAVE DOOMED MEN
Schooner Thomas w. Lawson sinks
Near sciiIy Islands After Hope
less Battle with Tenn
pestuous Seas
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press.
HUGaTOwN, Dec. 14.--After sue
cessfully riding out a. succession OF
gales which she encountered all the
way across the Atlantic in which she
lost her lifeboats, the American
schooner Thomas W. Lawson was cap
sized in Broad sound, Scilly islands
where the captain took shelter from
the fiertl storm raging along the Eng
lish coast last night.
OF the crew of eighteen, including
Pilot Hicks. who boarded the vessel
from the life savers, boat during the
night, only three were rescued. These
were Captain G. w. Dow of Melrose,
Mass. Edward L. Rowe, the engineer,
of Wiscasset, Me-, and George Alien
of Bramford, England.
The schooner left Philadelphia NO
vember Is for London with a cargo OF
oil. She had hard battle with the
seas all the way across, and when she
entered Broad sound her captain, know
ing the dangers Of the coast, threw OUT
his anchors.
Later. in answer to his signals of dis
tress, the life savers put out two boats
and found the Lawson anchored In a
dangerous position off Gunner's rock.
The seas were running high and the
gale was increasing and the life savers
found that their efforts. at rescue We're
useless, One of the boats returned for
a tug and the other was compelled to
put bac-s to shere because of the ex-
hausted condition of the men. During
the absence the Thomas w. Lawson
turned turtle.
Heroic Rescues Effected
Allen, one of the rescued men, Is not
expected to live, and Captain Dow Is
suffering from a broken arm. HIS
rescue was effected only through al
most superhuman efforts of the life
savers and the gallantry of Frederick
Hicks, son of Pilot Hicks, who accom-
panied them on their second trip in the
hope OF Finding his father.
Late this afternoon after long
search Captain Dow and Engineer Rowe
were found alive in. the HelwetheN
rocks, to which they clung for more
than fifteen hours, the tremendous
waves preventing their making land
ing Young Hicks plunged into the
boiling seas and swan ashore, carry
ing a life line by means of which Allen
and the captain were hauled back to
the boat. The engineer, who was prac-
tically uninjured, was then pulled
ashore.
After assisting Captain Dow. Hicks
was able to reach the boat unaided, but
the effort exhausted him and the life
savers ordered him to remain quiet to-
night.
Captain Dow told the life savers that
when he found his ship was doomed he
the engineer and the pilot lashed them
selves to the Inizzen rigging. When
the masts fell the captain and the pilot
managed to get clear. They jumped to
the deck, but were washed overheard,
being carried by the currents to the
rocks, where they were found. Pilot
Hicks however seemed to be entan-
gled in the rigging and was lost.
