State Auditor Is Sued
CAUSED BY WINDY SHOT
Set Off 25-Pound Box Of Dyna-
mite in Wilburton
Mine
Special to Daily Leader.

Special to Daily Leader
Wilhurton, Okla, April 1.-The
dead in yesterdays coal mine eXplo'
sion here are. William Phalen, Thad
Cunningham. julius Boyd, Benz. Hoff-
man, William McMahan and NJ Bel
cher.
The cause of the explosion has moi
been definitely determined but it is
generally supposed TO have been q
windy shot which in turn set off a
twenty-five pound box of dynamite
which is claimed by some to have
been left in the mine.
The six miners had Just finished
their last days work before going out
upon suspension pending an agree
ment of wages and the rope rider
had sent down an empty car to bring
them to the surface and had himself
gone home The nump man had also
lust come ont and was a hundred
Yards away when the explosion took
place and the six men who had been
engaged upon the night shift in sink
ing the slope were all that remained
in the mine at the time.
When the bodies were brought 10
the top ii was found they had been
literally cooked and That the force
Of the explosion had blown The coa
dust into the flesh In some cases
the skin from tho back of their hands
and fingers was hanging in shreds
The short space Of two minutes more
and the car would have been at the
top and their lives saved.
William Phalen, one of the dead
men, was one of the best posted Ma
sens In eastern Oklahoma, and tho
rest of the men We're among The
towns hest citizens and were held IL
high esteem. A particularly sad fea
tnre OF the catastroDhe was that o.
pelcher, who was killed together Will
his two sons-in-laws. leaving three
widows in one family. A Total Of
twenty-five children were left orphans

CLASSED IN SAME
CATEGORY WITH BOyCOTTS
Bosses Barred From Prevent
Ing Employment Of Uni0nists
By Agreement

New York, April IA victory Of
widespread Importance TO labor all
ovef the United States has been won
by Clarence J Shearn, who secured
from Supreme Justice Fitzgerald an
opinion which means that If ii Is un-
lawful for labor unions o blacklist
employers, as in the famous Buck
Stove company case, it is just as un-
lawful for employers to blacklist em-
ployes.
The decision was rendered by
Judge Fitzgerald in making perma-
hent the Injunction of the Enterprise
Association of Steam Filters, of which
Mr.. Shearn is counsel, agains5 the
Building Trades Employers assoeia
tlon. because the employers assoc
alton had tred to prevent the en-
ployment OF he unions members It
il thought The effect Of the decision
will be SO great ',hat The employers
association practically viii be dis
rupted by it.
The Importance Of Judge Fitgger-
aids decision goes far behind the
present controversy in the steam
liting trade for it destroys the chief
weapon Of the Building Trades Enl-
ployers' association in labor contro-
versies. This association, which
comprises every trade in Greater New
York allied to the building trades, re-
quises every member TO give a bond
in the sum Of $l,500, which the mem
ber agrees to forfeit il he violates
any order or rule of the board of gov
ernors of the employers association,
This heavy penalty has made II
easy for the board Of governors to
enforce its boycott orders. Judge
Fitzgerald brands this bond system
as eocrcive and Illegal. EN-Judge
Alton B. Parker, under retainer for
the employers association, argued in
favor of its legality.

Deputy Sheriff Tubbs on Saturday was very roughly handled in Salem when he went there to place an at tachment on a. portable sawmill on the Akers place, which is now run by Kalman Berman. There was decided resistance to his efforts. A number of worne en barred his way while several of the men, there being a number of boarders there struck him with fists sticks and anything which came handy so that he was glad to beat nasty retreat. The attachment was in favor of David Akers, who recently figured in a civil suit in the superior court, and out of which this matter grew. The deputy received a black eye and numerous bruises about his body, one of his assailants yielding a wrench. and in all there were about twenty five.
 On Monday he assembled several deputy sheriffs and cons tables and they left here about 11.30 for Salem, in tending to arrest those who took part in the assault. Pattison's auto bus carried Deputy Sheriffs Tubbs, Casey and Draper, Constable Stanton of this
