been hurt at either place. The Knox
county fires are the most difficult to
fight, as the entrance is near the top
of the mountains, and water has to be
piped up the hills. Tons of water are
being thrown into the shafts every day
and night, but SO far have had no ap-
preciable effect on the flames.
Unless the fire is beaten within the
coming week all four shafts will be
sealed 1t is not known what caused the
fire in either case, but it is probable the
Knox company blaze originated from a
fire which occurred in neighboring mine
last summer and spread to the present
shaft.
All the men who are fighting the fire
are miners thrown out of employment
by the conf1agration.

ing OH them to subscribe to a fund with
which a bitter fight is to be begun
against the United States Steel Corpora
ton
The corporation, the call sets forth, is
inimical alike to the interests of labor
and to the country at large. and it is
termed "a bold and daring violator of the
laws" The sum of s154.OOO will be raised
by this first appeal. but further calls
will be issued as the fight progresses.
Result Of Conference.
The action was taken as the result of
the conference held in Pittsburg Deem
Der IL and IA between the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers,
the Tin Plate Workers Protective Asso-
citation and the Longshoremen and Sea-
mems Union. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, was present at the meeting.
The call is signed by Mr.. Gompers,
Frank Morrison, secretary of the fedora
ton, and James Duncan, John Mitchell,
d. Huber. Joseph F. Valentine, John r.
Alpine, H. 3. Perham and John B.
Lennon, directors. Although the appeal
is made officially by the federation the
funds will not be turned into the fedora
ton treasury. All subscriptions are to be
sent to John Williams, who has opened
headquarters in the House building in
PittSburs.
Assails the Trust.
In his statement Mr.. Gompers, in un-
sparing language, asSails the So-calIed
''steel trust" for its aggressions on labor
and charges it with conspiring against
production. preventing an unmanipu-
lated market and striving for the elimi-
nation of free press. He also charges
that the corporation pays dividends on
many millions of watered stock, and that
its financial methods are indefensible.
But. President Gompers continues, the
browning criminality' of the trust is
its attitude toward labor. He especially
arraigns the so-called ''profit-sharing'
plan. by which the company gives its en-
ployes an opportunity to obtain an inter-
est in the vast business.
This plan, MIR. GomperS contends. is
transparent deceit through which a
small minority of its employees are sought
to be bribed to help in daily sweating
