and q boy, were brought to the sur
face. Four others were dragged from
the debris OF the second gallery and
taken to the cage, but were not
brought to the surface. Fifty or Is
other dead bodies beyond reach for

in the wreckage of smouldering tim

The sad prospects for the day be.
came apparent when fremen unrolled
q great strip of canvas on the prairie
beyond the main shaft. Here the
bodies which were the fret to be
brought out were laid. Grief. stricken
men, women and children formed q
great circle about them, but many
turned away, unable to endure the
sobs and cries of the people who
mourned.
Two of the bodies were quickly iden.
tilted, but not until scores of women
had gazed on the blackened features
and turned away to await the next
dreaded load from the depths of the
mine.
The condition of the bodies showed
that they had died from suffocation,
and that they had been dead many

of the American Federa alton of Labor
under sentence for contempt of court
made a dramatic speech to the con.

be is concerned, regardless of conse-
quences, he intended, while at liberty,
to declare for the rights guaranteed
by the constitution. The report which
drew forth Mitchell's speech and which
was adopted by the convention de.
clared:
"We say that when your cause is
just and every other remedy has been
employed without result, boycott; we
say that when the employer has de-
termined to exploit, not only adult
male labor, but women and children,
and our reasoning appeal to his fair
ness and his conscience will not sway
him, boycott; we say that when labor
has been opposed, brow beaten, tyr
annized, boycott: we say that when
social and political conditions be-
come so bad that ordinary remedial
measures are fruitless, boycott: and
finally, we say we have a right to
boycott and we propose to exercise
that right. In the applic alton of this
right OF boycott, to paraphrase the
president Gompers J, we propose to
strive on and on.''
The convention broke into loud
cheering for Mitchell as he concluded,
and there we're cries for Morrison.
