Indiana. Pa. Especially Ten Hun
garians and one American is the
death toll of gas explosion in the
No. 2 slope of the Ernest mine of
the Jefferson and Clearfield Coal
Company, five miles north of this
place. The explosion occurred in a
heading where IL workmen were To-
Gated, and one of these. Andrew
Krazcers escaped by crawling a quar-
ter of a mile on his stomach to
evade the noxious gases. His in
ability to speak English prevented
a lucid explanation of the cause of
the explosion. When he saw the
lights of the rescuers, he moaned
and tried to crawl. He was slight
ly burned. but suffered chiefly from
the effects of after-damp. He was
placed in car and taken immedi-
ately to daylight. Some of the dead
were found near the entrance to the
heading, others lay along the track
at short distances from each other
almost at the face of the coal Two
bodies nearest the face we're burned
slightly about the face and arms.
The position of the bodies showed
the men had made desperate efforts
to crawl away from the heading.
One hundred and ten men work.
ing in the same slope escaped
through other headings of the mine,
although they were held back for
about 10 hours by the black damp,
until rescue party of IL mine
bosses reached them. One thousand
other men working in adjoining
mines within a radius of three miles,
who heard the conclusion, paid no
heed to it and did not learn of the
disaster until they came out of the
mines. Four men who were laying
tracks just within the mouth of the
mine slope were knocked unconscious
by the conclusion, but were revived
later with little difficulty.
Michael Harrington, the only
American among the dead, was a
son of John Harrington, foreman of
the mine. The younger man, act
ing as assistant to his father, was
directing the work on the heading
when the explosion occurred.
The first report of the explosion
was made by seven track repair men
who had been working at the back
of the main entry. They were hurl-
ed from their feet, although 125 feet
away. AS soon as they came out of
the drift rescue party was headed
by John Harrington, father of Mi
chael Harrington. Some of these
were overcome and were found by
a. second rescue party, but all re-
vived shortly after being taken out.

Hours ADeliberating.
Hartford CT. Especially "A new
declaration of independence is what
Attorney Daniel Davenport calls the
verdict OF $4,000 rendered in the
United States Court by jury in the
suit of D E. Loeme, of Danbury,
against 200 hatmakers of this State.
After having been out over two
hours, the jury ordered actual dam
ages of 1000 to the plaintiff. but
as the suit was brought under the
Sherman Antitrust Law triple dam
ages can be recovered
There was remarkable scene in
tcourt when the verdict was announc-
ed. The defendants in attendance
were stunned for a time and then in
groups dejectedly discussed the blow.
1t is estimated that the costs in
the case will amount to at least $10,-
600 and these, with the counsel fees,
may bring the bill against the Uni
ted Hatters Of North America to full
ly quarter of million of dollars.
Speaking in regard to the signifi-
canoe of the verdict in the case,
which is said to be the most impor-
tant of its kind ever tried in this
country, Attorney Davenport. senior
counsel for the plaintiff. said:
First, it means that individual
members of labor unions are bound
by the action of their officers and
they cannot allow them to do as they
please.
Secondly. it means that the Sher-
man antitrust law protects manufac-
turers and merchants from boycott
attacks.
In substance, it is new declara-
tion of independence.
The plaintiff. D. E. Loewe, was
surrounded by friends in the court
room and congratulated upon the
outcome. He said that if he had not
won he would have gone out of BUSH
ness.
- Judge Plat in his charge practical
ly instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict for the plaintiff. He said the
only question for them to decide was
one of damages. and these were to be
based upon the losses sustained by
the plaintiff between July, 1902 and
September. 1908. the period during
which the boycott against the Loewe
factory was maintained.
A bill of exceptions will be filed
by the defense and the case will be
carried to the Federal Court of APP
peals and the United States Supreme
Court
The suit, which was for $4,000
damages, has been on trial for IL
weeks. 1t was instituted by the anti
boycott society through Mr.. Loewe,
but it is understood the damages
awarded are to go to the Danbury
Hatmakers. The expense of defend
ing the suit falls upor the United
Hatters of North America. who filed
bond to protect the defendants.
