and the other men remaining at the
bank to blow the safe.

DENVER, July 21.-By unanimous
vote this afternoon the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners instructed its execu-
tive board to use it's influence for Sc
curing the appointment of a federal
commission to investigate conditions in
the Treadwell mining district of Doug
lass island, Alaska.
This action was taken following a re-
port on that district made by Yanco
Terzich delegate, who charged that
conditions were something awful" He
claimed that hundreds of miners were
killed annually by reason of poor tim
bering, that when a man was killed the
companies reported him as having ''quit
work." and that all efforts of relatives
or friends to trace his movements aft
erward were fruitless.
He charged that the governor of
Alaska always lobbied against any in
vestigation.
His report was strengthened by the
report of the executive committee,
which was practically the same as to
conditions.
The proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for state organiza-
tions with no central head was killed.
w. D. Haywood, former secretary
treasurer, addressed the convention, adj
vocating a closer relation with the
United Mine Workers, and he also
thanked the members for the support
they gave him when on trial in Idaho.

Bishop Potter suffered a severe re-

Rogers was tried and acquitted a

mere boy, when wanted on a robbery
charge, he fled into the hills, rifle in
hand, and defied the police for weeks.
He was captured later near Lewis

discharged He has figured in several
