ENGLAND in DANGER
OF A MEAT SHORTAGE
Strike of Dock Laborers in
London Creates a Serious
Menace.

London, Aug. 3.-The meat trade OF
England is seriously threatened by a
strike of 10000 dock laborers at the
tondon docks today, growing out of a
dispute over wages. The men claim
their employers promised an increase
commencing July 81, but their pay en-.
yelopes, when received. failed to con-
Jain the advance. Separate meet
mgs of the strikers and the employers
Were held TO discuss the situation.
At least 20 steamers, including the
Minnehaha, which has just arrived at
rilbury with a cargo Of dressed beef
rom America, the Anglican, from Bos-
jon, with boxed meats and other Am
lrican f~reighters, are unable to dis
gharge.
Many other vessels are loaded with
meat from Australia, New Zealand and
Argentine.
The meat and other perishable goods
are being taken care of in refrigerators
aboard the steamers, but If the strike
continues, there will be a shortage in
the London provinces. Police reserves
were sent to the docks but their SER
tices were not required. The men went
luietly from steamer to steamer, call
ing on their fellow workers to join
The movement n in every case were
successful.

ENTOMBED MINER
is RESCUED ALIVE
Joplin Man Buried in Cave-in
Since Sunday Morning
Brought to Safety.

Joblin, Mo-, Aug. 3.-Joseph Clary,
imprisoned by a cave-in In the White
Oak mine near this city since last Sun
day morning, was reached by rescuers
this morning. He was alive and well.
When the last spadefuls of earth were
removed by workmen in the shaft and
they dropped through into the shaft,
Clary threw himself into their arms
and wept, while the shouts of thous-
ands cheering at the mouth OF the
mine echoed down the shaft.
Three workmen were digging in the
narrow shaft when the bottom gave
way and they dropped into the drift
at S:25 o'clock. Clary saw he light
of day and looked upon his fellow be-
ings after a period In darkness which.
though reckoned by him to be some
thing over four days, was really ex-
actly three days and As minutes.
Weakened by Experience.
Clary, though evidently in a fair
condition in health, was greatly weak
ened. The emotion he showed at the
sight of his rescuers, and the death
like pallor Of his face, brought tears
TO the eyes OF the hardened, worn out
miners. The shouts from the mouth
Of the shaft, sounds from the outer
world, and the rushes of fresh air gave
heart and strength to the weakened
man, who at first a little to say save
TO breathe his thanks.
At a sign from the q ply
stefan was lowered. He administered
stimulants. Clary vas hoisted to the
surface n set foot on top of earth
10 minutes after he was found. Cur
lous spectators were kept from him.
His father, brother and the physician
hurried him TO the Clary home nearby,
where his mother, weakened by the
strain Of her long vigil, lay Ill. The
physician urged Clary not to talk un-
Ill he a gained strength.
Is Only a Youth.
Clary is 23 years old, the son Of
Thomas Clary, a pioneer mine operator,
who has directed the rescue work con-
ttantly since his sons imprisonment.
Relays of men and boys began dig
sing the shaft Sunday and have worked
hight and day since. The first three
attempts to drill a small hole to adj
init air and nourishment failed, but
the fourth was successful yesterday.
It was found that Clary was in i'm
ninent danger of drowning from wat
err rising in the drift. Diggers In the
shaft redoubied their energy, with the
result that the drift was reached hours
earlier than expected.

MANY TRUSTS SOON
TO BE PROSECUTED

washington. Aug. 2.-The coffee
trust, the steamship trust and other
concerns which are charged with max,
ing illegal trade agreements abroad
and carrying out their effect in the
United States. will, it was stated to,
day, be prosecuted by the department
of Justice, probably not under the Sher.
man antitrust law, but under the anti,
trust sections Of the Wilson tariff act
Of 1894, which contains five sectioni
designed to meet just such cases.
The Wilson law provides that any
persons or corporations who impor,
commodities to the United States and
combine to restrain or fix prices. al
though the trade agreements are made
outside Of this country may be fined
or imprisoned and the imports may ba
confiscated by the government. Deci-
sions OF the courts regarding the ap-
~plicability OF the Sherman law to COM
binations conceived outside the United
States probably will force the govern
ment To fall back on the Wilson act In
these particular cases and others which
are similar.
The antitrust sections of the Will
son law were preserved In the framing
Of the Dingley act OF 1897 and Were
not repealed by the Payne-Aldrich law
Of 1909.

Disclaimer of Favoring the

false the charge OF William Jennings
Bryan that he had blocked the efforts

very deliberately, said:
Mr.. Speaker, the statements con-
tanned in that paper are absolutely
false. If the reflections which that
article contains rested only on my
self, 1 would not take the time of
this House to answer them. But those
statements reflect not only on my
self, but on the democrats in control
OF this side of the capitol and as leader
of the floor l would be untrue to my
fellow democrats here and to myself
if l did not reply to the attack.
Interested in Sses! Industry.
Mr.. Underwood sA1d the tariff on
iron and steel needed further revision
and would get it; that when the ways
and e committee organized he
told them that as everything he had
was invested III IUG IRON lHuuElEy, IL
would relieve him Of embarrassment If
it undertook iron and steel revision
first.
THAT interview" continued Mr.. I'M
derwood referring to Mr.. Bryan
charges that there is a difference be,
tween the speaker of this House and
myself as to legislation in this House.
That statement is absolutely false. We
have been together, we are together
now, and I predict that we will be toa
gether to the end"

Carolina, also referred to in the Bryan
interview, and c~orroborated Mr.. Under.
wood. Mr.. Kitchin declared the statel
ment made lacked truth; that Mr..
Bryan had been misinformed, and adj
ded that it would rebound to Mr..
Bryan's credit If he would express a
desire to make public his informant,
for mot a single democrat in this
House could have given him such in
formation" /,

from Mr.. Bryan to Representative
