The BLACK Hills
UNION MINERS OF THE HOME.

the next two days all the unions work
ing for the Homestake Mining Co.
viii meet to take a vote on the ques-
ton of striking. Each votes by secret
baIlor and two thirds majority is re-
quired to strike, but the strike in all
departments is practically a foregone

The action of the miners last evening
in asking the Western Federation for
permission to strike indicates their fl
nal action.

visited Superintendent Grier last eve
ming, asking him to modify his order,
they were informed that the company
had. acted with elaboration and would
not recede.
The company expects to hold several
hundred out Of the $500 employees.
The proximity of federal troops at Fort
Meade mimizes the danger Of VIC
lence.

WAR"

Geneva, Nov. 23.-Count Leo Tolstoi,
by way of Switzerland, has given an !.
other message to the world. At an
military meeting nesd at Bienna,
when 100 Swiss and Foreign delegates
were assembled, Tolstoi's appeal to the
people was read amid great enthu-
siasm 1t had been written especially
for the recent peace congress at
Stockholm and would have been
greatly embarrassing on account Of
its violence TO the Swedish authori-
ties who, however, were saved by the
timely strike which caused a postpone
ment of the congress. Later 1t was
arranged to read it at Berlin, but the
police prohibited it.
Yesterday Tolstoi's friends in
Geneva having obtained permission,
delivered his message at Bienne Toll
stoi in 1t appeals to the good sense OF
the worlds peoples to refuse to serve
as soldiers, either voluntarily or under
pressure, even If that refusal entails
punishment. Killing by soldiers, he
asserts, is a criminal act.
The message appeals not to govern
ments, but directly TO peoples and
their good sense to stop the growth
Of armies and navies.

BAD cAvE-IN TODAY.

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-Fire in the
second gallery resulted today in
heavy cavings Of earth, blocking
the rescue work to the east. In this
section win be best chance OF the
finding of survivors. It is found
that the passage is so badly block
ed that 1t will be impossible for
many days to make an entrance.
Meanwhile the men now alive may
starve. The news spread gloom
throughout the village. and was
relieved only by the fairer pros
pect OF exploring the 500 foot level
at the bottom OF the mine.
1t is said the blockade in the en-
try to the east is near the main
shaft AS one caving was follow
ed by another. endangering the
lives of the workers, attempts to
remove the debris were halted and
an attempt will be made to hew a
new passage through the solid earth
around the piles of earth.
According to Duncan Mcdonald.
president Of the United Mine
Workers Of Illinois, this will take
several days.
Does that not mean that prac-
tically all hope Of reaching the i'm
prisoned men in the east working
have been abandoned or practically
so?" Mr.. Mcdonald was asked. The
union official looked very gloomy
and did not answer directly. I'VE
have hope Of rescue in the 500 foot
level" he said.

Cherry. Nov. 23-Cherry and its resi-
dents rested for brief period early to-
day before the beginning of the CRUZ
cial struggle to rescue the living or
carry the dead from the 500 foot level
OF the st. Paul coal mine.
Tidings were spread early today that
fire in the second vein had broken out
anew. All preparations for further
explorations OF the vein were halted
while the Chicago firemen attacked
the blaze. which threatened the main
shaft. The contest with the fire con-
tinued for several hours. during which
the rescuers threw themselves on cots.
blankets. or the floor of the boiler house
to be awakened when all was ready
for them to descend again.
That scores Of men are alive in the
lower level was the almost unanimous
assertion Of the miners who listened
to the story of Robert McFaddeen and
Barney Dougherty, two youthful min-
ers who had forced their way into thu
third vein. No miners. living or dead,
were seen and the one object indicating
their occupancy Of the vein was a dead
mule.
After learning that the lower SHAFT
contained air not too impure to sustain
life, the hope Of those above was i'm
creased in a mighty measure. Many
reasons were advanced to show that
men may still be alive.
There is plenty of water there" said
William A. Smith, one OF the few min
ers in the vein to escape after the fire.
1.-The air is endurable and there was
plenty OF corn I'm the mule stables.
They have some OF the shrewdest and
nerviest miners in the country down
there Wen find them barricaded and
ready for another weeks wait when
we reach them"
The absence OF any implements. din
ner pals or other traces of m IN at the
mine shaft entrance is accepted as
proof that they carefully gathered up
material they thought might be useful
before they retreated TO the chambers
where they now are believed to be inn
prisoned.
Appeal to Governor.
The state executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America sent
the following telegram to Governor De-
neen:
I'VE request that you designate
some one man to take charge OF the
rescue work OF this mine. Practically
all the miners stand ready to voun-
teer their services to get to the bodies.
The system here not satisfactory.
Signed, Duncan Mcdonald.
