BOOST FOR THE
PING PONG

In talking with the Examiner rep
resentatiye regarding the proba.
bility Of the ping pong train being
discontinued, one business man sug-
gested the idea Of the merchants of
Montpelier having quite a number
of placards printed and kept on dis
play IN the stores here and IN every
post Office in the county, urging the
people who have occasion to visit
Salt Lake TO patronize the ping pong
both going and returning.
This train affords connections at
McOammon for south bound travel.
ers and for those returning from the
south, that cannot be obtained by
the through trains and il the ping
pong Is taken off, because of lack of
patronage, there is little likelihood
that the railroad company could
ever be induced to put it on again.
In view Of the long and tiresome
waits At McCammon that the Salt
Lake travellers Of this section have
experienced in years past, it seems
to rs that every citizen of this
county should become booster for
the plug pong.

The division of the state into two

Stim- son, republican candidate were answered tonight in long typewriter statement from democratic state headquarters in this city, where MT. Dix was in consul tation today with his partner, Chairman Huppuch and their associate advisers.

 To a question relating to labor he re- piled:
 "The best evidence of my attitude to- ward labor Is the fact that there has never been a strike in the mill which control; that the men regulate their own hours of labor; that they are free If they choose to join the unions of their craft; that the wages we pay are at least equal

GAYNOR ISSUES CAUSTIC LETTER

New York, November 7-Under date of November 6, Mayor Gaynor ad dressed the following letter to the edi- tor of the World, which is printed this morning:
 T see the statement in Sundays pa pers that the attempt to make peace between the express companies and their men failed on-the one point that the men demanded that the union be recognized by the companies. and the companies refused. This is not the case. On the contrary, on my urgent request the men withdrew their de- mand that the union be recognized, as you see this demand is omitted in the paper they submitted and nothing is asked except that no one be discrim- mated against in respect of employ ment, except for physical violence in the strike.
 The negotiations failed on one point only. namely, that the companies would not acquiesce In the request of the men that none of them should be dis charged for the reason that he had joined the union. I do not enter into this dispute, but 1t seems to me that the point on which the division oc- cured should be clearly understood. so that the intelligent may decide whether there is any reason for the continuance of the present condition. Is it not now time we had parcels post like that of the other civilized countries?"

 Seven men going down on shifts and five men coming up were caught be- tween the first and sixth levels and it is almost certain that all perished Ma tural gas combustion Is assigned as the cause All the men were foreign CTS
 The force of explosion was terrific, showers of earth. fimbers and bits of clothing being blown from the slope of the mine. Timbers 16 inches thick and eight feet long were blow half a mile.

BALTIMORE AVIATION MEET
 IS RESUMED AFTER STORM

Baltimore, November 6.-The Baltimore aviation meet, interrupted by the storm of Thursday, which wrecked both han gars and damaged a number of aero planes stored In them, was resumed this afternoon in the presence of a large crowd, but the troubles of the promo ters were not at an end Large numbers of excursionists came from distant points. and, knowing that they would be here, fl was determined to resume the pro- eramme today, notwithstanding the com missioners of Baltimore county, within which division of the state the aviation field lies, had declared last night that they would not permit the resumption.
 The possibility of police interference probably reduced the attendance consid- erably.
 However, the county police contented themselves with arresting a half-score of ticket sellers and other officials who were taken before a neighboring justice of the peace and released under small bail. The

 If anything is going to be done We had better make haste.

and better working conditions.
 Against Us are arrayed the forces of reaction. Their organs boast that we are without funds and that the democrats have all the money they want This means that we are fighting the battle of the individual citizen and depend on his vote and that behind our opponents are certain powerful interests which have a distinct advantage in loose or in- efficient state government.
 "The campaign of our opponents upon the state Issues has virtually collapsed. MT Dix who began with a phtllpic against the waste and extrayangance of the republican administration. has utterly failed to give any specifications of these charges.
 "To cover this collapse upon the real issues of the campaign he is now trying to ride into office by appealing to the dis content of the people arising out of the increased cost of living. He charges this suffering to the trusts and the tariff and seeks to lay on my party the re- sronsibillty of these evils. I am willing that the people should judge between MT Dix and me even on this false issue. I law before them my record in fighting against the encroaehments of special privilege.

SECRETARY. MEYER
 IS BACK AT HOME

Washington, November s.-Back from an inspection tour that extended over 10,6SS miles. Secretary of Navy Meyer reached Washington today, conferred with Pres dent Taft and left in the afternoon for Massachusetts, where he will vote Tues day Meantime he announced that there were too many navy yards on the At lantic gulf coast and that he expects to make some changes in the work of the Mare island navy yards. He declined to discuss the Pacific island yards until after he had consulted experts in the service.
 Secretary Meyer was enthusiastic over the Guantanamo naval station. The shore there. he said, is low enough so that buildings can be erected without expen- sive preparation, and there is one place at which large floating docks can be To- cated with only about 10 feet of neces- sary dredging. He found in some of the navy yards that the buildings had been erected at greater expense than was ne- cessarv At Guantanamo, however, the expense will be minimized and single huilding of concrete and corrugated iron will be effective.
 Mr Meyer favors having only one navy yard on the gulf coast Of the united States that to he supplementary to the Guantanamo naval base and supplement tarv to the Panama Notifications.
 There is no intention to establish base on the isthmus. nor is there any in tentIon, as reported, of placing the con struction and pay corps in the me or the navy.
 The Secretary strongly opposes sending the battleship fleet to the Pacific coast unti after the Panama canal Is completed and believes the present facilities are in adequate for them.
 While declining to indicate what navy wards are to be abolished. he admitted that on the Pacific he favored establish ing two dry docks. These. in all prob- ability, will be situated within easy dis tance of San Francisco.
 Secretary Meyers trip. 96S5 miles of which was by rail and 94s by sea. may result in various executive changes and recommendations to Congress.

ROOSEVELT BACK
 IN OYSTER BAY

Oyster Bay. November 6.-After a week of continuous travelling in which he cov- cred more than 5000 miles and made speeches in New York, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, Theodore Roosevelt returned to his home In Oyster Bay to- day for brief rest before plunging into politics again. Ii will be very brief. Beginning at 20 minutes before s tomor- row he will make seven open-air speeches of 10 minutes each, five of them before 10 o'clock, then visit his offices for con ferences and luncheon and dash out again for two more speeches in the early afternoon. His public itinerary ends at 1 o'clock, and where he will spend the rest of the day the colonel did not care to say. Mir. Stimson. the candidate for governor. whom he Is supporting, will speak twice tomorrow and in the evening they will both be guests of the Hungar- ian Republican club on the East Side. where they will both speak again.
 The colonel reached New York from Cleveland at s:3O o'clock this morning. and after visiting Dr. Hobrook Curtis 10 have his throat treated, came to Oyster Bay by automobile. His throat was rough and his voice hoarse at the beginning of last week, but the hoarsness largely dis after the first day, in spite of his incessant speech-making. He was tired today and declined to make any election prophecies He said he had come home to rest and not to talk politics. The news. that Judge Baldwin of Connecticut is to sue him for islander brought no comment.
 When the colonel finishes his last speech tomorrow night he will have con- cluded one of the hardest fights of his political career It was a fight into which he has said from the first he was drawn unwilingy, and which he took up. he maintains. only because he be- leved that circumstances had made 1t necessary for him first to flick the bosses" in his own party and then to take up the campaign for the ticket which he helped nopinate. Assertions that his own political future is involved in the outcome of the state election have re- ceived little attention from him except as he has recognized that his policies and personality are an issue in New York. In many speeches he has denied that his political creed is a menace to business.

 Stormy meetings of the various branches of the district council of the Garment Workers were held during the day, at which the agreement signed yes terday by President Rickert and the firm of Hart Schaffner & Marx received slight consideration. Tobias Abrahams, secretary of the strike committee, in an address, declared the agreement Ignored most of the features for which the strike was declared and was in every way ad- vantageous only to the company
 While all are anxious to get back to work as soon as possible, he declared "the mere fact that the company sought to treat with Rickert shows the head way that has been made. and to accept this agreement, which gives us nothing, would be to lose the advantage we have Y
 The strike now has been for six weeks and 40,0O0 garment workers have been out most of the period. Numerous arrests have been made, mostly on charges of disturbing the peace by gath erins in crowds.
