Ing the bodies OF 20 miners. victims
OF the terrific explosion in the Virgin
mine last night, the rescuers were
driven back by flames early this
morning
All hope OF rescuing any OF the
65 men still remaining alive has been
abandoned, but the officials OF the
mine are making desperate efforts TO
quench the flames.
Seven OF the rescue party were
brought to the surface unconscious.
The scene around the mouth OF the
pit is pathetic. Half-crazed mothers
and wives maintained an all-night
vigil, hoping that their loved ones
would come TO the surface alive but
when daylight came only four OF the
SIS men who went 10 work yesterday
had been rescued alive and they were
all unconscious but will recover. The
bodies OF the 20 dead are SO horribly
burned that they cannot be identified.

HUGE COAL STRIKE
IS THREATENED

PITTSBURG, Aug. 19.-Unless of
ficials OF the United States Mine Work
ers back down there will be declared
within the next day Oh SO, one CT the
biggest strikes In the history of coal
production here.
Late last evening operators OF the
Pittsburg district threw down the
gauntlet to the miners by announc'
ing that they would go no further in
assisting their employees to maintain
a union. The meeting of operators
was attended by almost every coal
producer in the big Plttsburg district,
which has $1,000, 600 tons annual out
put, and the meeting did not adjourn
until late last evening.
For the first time rates OF assess
ments by the miners officials were
mede public here yesterday. II trans
pired that so cents had been taken
OF each miners pay each month by
the operators, who handed 1t over to
the union. The union officials de-
manded recently that this be increased
to 65 cents a month, and II Is alleged
the demand was made without con-
sulting the rank and NE OF workmen.

BRYAN STRONG FOR
GUARANTY ISSUE
sLAMEs CONGRESS FOR NOT PASS
ING LAW PERMITTING BANKS
TO ADOPT PLAN.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 19.-As an
earnest OF the Intention OF Bryan and
his managers to make the guaranty OF
bank deposits an issue in this CAM
paign, In the west especially, the can
didate again made a statement in
which he arraigns congress for not
legislating In favor of the deposition
as well as of the banker. He took
for his text the fact that several
national banks in Oklahoma had an
nounced their intention OF quitting as
nationals and reorganizing under the
state law, as a result OF the ruling
that they cannot as national banks
contribute toward guaranty fund.
Il do not know, of course" no
said. Ito what exten: the national
banks Of Oklahoma will surrender
their charters. Fifty-four national
banks In that state took advantage
OF the guaranty system, and they
have found It very profitable, for
they have increased their deposits,
while the unsecured banks have lost
in deposits. They will now have 10
choose between remaining national
banks and securing the benefits OF the
guaranty plan.
They ought not to be driven to
this alternative. Congress had ample
time to pass a law permitting the ma
tional banks in Oklahoma to take adj
vantage of this system. The Oklahoma
law was enacted In December and
went into operation In February. Con-
gress was in session for several
months afterward; but. while the Re-
publican leaders In congress could
find time to put through a currency
bill in the interest OF the stock mar
ket, they could not find time to en-
act legislation In the interest OF the
