New York. The conference commit

OF Chicago and north Of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad and their loco
motive engineers arrived at dead.
lock Monday night over the question
Of an increase In and Standardization
OF wages. The managers refused TO-
accede to the demands OF the men and
the engineers declined to accept this
decision and reaffirmed their demands.
As matters now stand it appeared
that the question will have to be
placed before the rank and file OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
employed by the railroads for refer
endum vote as to what the policy OF
the engineers shall be. w. S. Stone,
grand chief engineer of the Brother
hood, in letter to j. G. Stuart, Of the
Erie Railroad, and chairman of the
managers committee, said the engk
neers could not accept the decision Of
the managers and that If they had
nothing further to offer the matter
would be given into the hands OF the.
engineers for decision. Mr.. Stuart re-
piled that the managers could add
nothing to their statement and that be
hoped the members of the Brother
hood would give it full consideration
when submitted to them.
The engineers had requested
minimum wage OF $40 per day for
passenger service, $5.25 per day for
freight service, and substantial in
creases for overtime. They also asked
increases for switch, belt-line and
special engines and specified that all
electrical trains should be manned by
engineers at steam railroad pay. The
managers replied that to acquiesce in
the demands would mean an increase
in wages of about 10 per cent, and
that they were unable financially TO
add this burden to their already
heavy expenses.

LIVES LOST IN
Mine EXPLOSION
Forty-three Americans Among
Those Who Were Killed.
ONLY ELEVEN MEN ESCAPE
Explosion OF Gas or Accumulated
Coal Dust Takes Terrible Toll OF
Life In the san Boise Mine
Near McCurtaln.

McCurtain, Ok. One hundred and
five lives is accepted as an approx.
imately correct estimate Of the human
toll taken when Mine No. 2, Of the
Sans Bots Coal Company here, was
wrecked by an explosion. OF 116 men
Of the day shaft only II are known
to- be alive, while the others are en-
tombed behind the debris.
In the opinion Of government ex-
perts and mine officials they are dead.
The explosion occurred shortly after
o'clock. Those on the surface heard
a faint rumble and an earth tremor.
When those nearest to the mouth Of
the mines mouth reached the opening
q cloud OF dust and smoke belched
forth.
Then came tense moments Of wait.
ing for those in the mine to emerge.
Frank Fields. a miner, was the first
to stagger out. He was walking in an
entry and heard the explosion, he said.
He jumped into a side room and the
explosion passed. and he made his way
to the mine opening. Nine other
miners escaped through another shaft.
AS soon as possible a rescue party
went into the mine. but they could
proceed no further than the sixth level
because OF the accumulation Of debris.
Superintendent Brown stated that
the force and extent Of the explosion
was such that only by the remotest
possibility could any Of the entombed
men be alive The mine machinery is
operated by compressed air, and there
are three small pumps in different sec
tions o. the mines These pumps ex-
haust pure air.
IT the force Of the explosion and
flames did not kill all OF the men,
there is a remote chance some OF them
are being kept alive by these fresh
currents providing the pumps are not
out Of commission. To this one slim
chance the relatives and friends OF
the entombed men cling with pitiful
hope.
The explosion, according to mine ex-
perts, was from either accumulated
gas or coal dust The Sans Bots
property is owned by the Fort Smith
and Western Railroad Company.
