Mine Rescue Is
Won by Giroux
COPPER FLAT WINS by NARROW
MARGIN FROM BAKERS MILL
TEAM IN FIRST AID TO IN
JIRED CONTEST.

Without a doubt the interesting
feature OF the recent Fourth of July
celebration in Ely. was the exemp1i-
fication of the mines rescue and
first aid work, as portrayed by con
testing teams from the various de-
partments of the Nevada Consoli-
dated and Steptoe Valley Smelling
and Mining companies works. The
are reproduced form the cur
ent issue of the Safety First Bulle-
tin, which was issued yesterday:
The mines rescue crew entered Tor
mines rescue maneuvers, n com-
posed of employees of the Copper
mines Consolidated. and n from
the Veteran mine of the Nevada Con-
solidated. The problem given to test
the skill and proficiency of the con
testing teams involved the rescue of
a miner overcome by gas and smoke
at the face OF a drift on one of the
deep levels of a mine. The skeleton
drift had been erected on the ground,
illustrating the timbering in position,
except at two points, where roof was
supposed to have caved in, present
ing an obstruction caused by pile of
fallen rock from the roof, over which
the men had to climb; the other a
~caye-in which blocked the passage,
leaving a small, opening between the
fallen rock and the sill floor of tun-
mel. through which the team had to
crawl.
The teams, responding in order to
the call of the judges. after the
necessary preliminary examination
of men and equipment. shouldered
their apparatus and executed all
maneuvers with the military preci-
sion prescribed by the United States
Bureau OF mines rescue tactics.
Both teams gave an excellent ex-
hibition, which was witnessed by
about three thousand interested and
a%ppreciative spectators. The con-
test vas judged and prizes awarded
Oh average core, after deducting all
penalties and discounts for failure TO
comply with certain fixed rules and
conditions. The Veteran mine crew
won the first prize by the narrow
margin of one point. scoring So per
cent perfect as against the score of

mine team. Considering the fact
that this was the first public exhi-
hilton in which either team had par

c~ellent, and every individual mem
her of the ~contesting teams is en-
titled to the congratulations of the
community.

New York, Nov. 24--ln a report

of the churches of Christ in America
made public heer today. the Rev.
Henry A. Atkinson, associate secre-
tary, as investigator, arraigns the
Colorado coal companies for their at

The Rev. Mr.. Atkinson was sent to

there were recent industrial Difficult

of the congregational churches and

Dominate Politics.

After reviewing the trouble in Col
orado his report says:
The coal companies dominate the
politics in those counties where the
mines are located. They have
brought about the election of the
judges, sheriffs, coroners and assess
ors. They can do about as they
please so far as the law is concerned
mass of evidence was brought out
to show that they control the politi-
cal, social and economic situation. -
Further the report says:
"lt is impossible to enforce the
law and the courts are practically
closed to those who in any way
incur the enmity of the coal com
panies. Thirty years of such op-
preston, industrial, social and polit-
ical. have taught the miners that
their only hope is in the unions. An
individual counts for nothing; if he
protests he loses his job; if he makes
too much trouble he is dealt with by
hired gunner who are kept at the
mines to do the will of the com
panies and help enforce the law
against the workers"
OF the actions of the militia, the
Rev. Mr.. Atkinson said:
The soldiers were gladly received
by the strikers, as they expected
they would have some protection, but
it soon became evident that the mil
itia was under the control of the
coal Companies
Men and women were thrown
into Jail without any charge being
lodged against them and held incom-
municado.
"The constitution of the state was
set aside. They met and escorted
strike breakers who were brought
into the state. The militia, instead of
aiming to maintain order and secure
justice, was used to break the strike.
"ln the" investigation following the
Ludlow battle it was shown that
many of the militia who were re-
ceiving pay from the state were at
the same time in the employ of the
coal companies as guards. They
were really employees of the com
pany fighting in the name of the
state"
After reviewing the conditions as
they prevailed in Michigan, several
are stated in the report.
In mentioning welfare work that had
been conducted by the companies, the
report says;
NO amount of welfare work, how
ever admirable it may be, will take
the place of fair wages and right
of labor"
AS to violence it is stated Church
rs are opposed to violence no matter
what the proyocation. Such tactics
'eflect upon the workers themselves"
In regard to the unions, the re-
port has this to say:

The extraordinary driving force i'm

MONUMENT
To CEN, WAITE
|SPR0P0SED
DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDER.
ACY HAVE UNDERTAKEN TO
HONOR MEMORY OF okLAHo.
MA HERO.

The Oklahoma division L. d. c.,
has undertaken to erect monument
to the memory Of Gen. Stand Waite
Some one has said: Poor is that
state or country that boasts no he
roes, but beggared is that nation
that forgets them"
For too many years has the un-
marked grave of this great Oklahoma
hero remained neglected: rebuke
to us as a people and a state.
Those who are familiar with the
life and character of this valiant
soldier will cOncede the fact that
many whose name is familiar to ev-
cry student of history possessed no
greater courage stability nor leader
SHIP, than did their brave Indian
general, and yet his name and fame
is scarcely known outside his own
immediate people.
At different times and by differ
ent agencies this question of mon
ument to Waite has been agitated,
but nothing definite ever came of
these proposed movements. But now
that a fund has been started, let
the Confederate Veterans, Sons of
Veterans, those who fought under
him, and others who were friends or
admirers of Waite help the Daughters
of the Confederacy to raise a fund
sufficient to erect monument wor.
thy the memory of this man and
one to which the citizens of Okla
homa can point with pride.
Tahlequah, the old Cherokee cap
itol, has been chosen as the place for
this monument. Waite was a Cher
okee and loved his people, and while
he belongs to Oklahoma as state,
yet it seems more fitting that this
monument should be erected on Cher
okee soil and at the old Cherokee
capitol
We ask for only free will contri-
buttons from those who really wish
and feel it not only a duty, but
privilege, to give to this worthy me-
mortal. DO not hesitate to send an
offering because it may be small
We wish to keep a list, if possible,
of every contribution sent in. These
will be deposited in one amount on

sum has been secured to carry the
work to completion.
We are placing this notice in as
many local papers as convenient,
hoping to reach as many of the old
friends and admirers of Waite as
possible. Send Your contributions to
the chairman of the committee or to
either of the other members of the
committee. We hope for a generous
response from all over the state and
from the friends of Waite in Arkan-
sas and Missouri who wish to help

of fire" aroused the citizens of
the town. Telephone calls and
people running in the direction
of the north part of the city soon
made it generally known that the
fine. new home of II. II. Stamper
was threatened with destruction.
People hurried to the place and
three times the workers thought
that the flames we're out, but we're
disappointed to see them break out
in new places.

northwest bedroom and we're near

Not knowing where the fire was
they went through a window and
notified the neighbors who turned
! in the alarm. Abe X. Stoufer and
Edward Kindschi were the first to
reach the house. 1t then seemed
to be burning in the basement.
The innefectual organization of
the workers who fought the fire
prevented effective work and some
people are of the opinion that had
a fire company been at the head
of the work the house and part OF
it's contents at least might have
been saved. AS it was the people
who did fight the fire worked well
and faithfully, but they lacked
intelligent direction.
The home had been recently
erected and was a fine two story
building with basement and attic
finished and furnished. The cost
of construction was possibly S., 900
and the vacant spot left by the
fire is indeed bad looking place.
Mr.. Stamper had made his first

was insured, but it is reported
that the furniniture was not and
that it was totally ruined by the

Three years ago Liberal cele-

Fourth of July comes on Satur-
day this year, OF course, it is
likely that the farmers will be in
the midst of harvest but coming
on. Saturday will give them a
chance to come to town to trade
any way and attend the oelebra
tion. Now is the time to begin to
plan for this affair if Liberal in
tends to celebrate and have the
attractions clean and appropriate.
The local candidates for Office
would be given a splendid op-
portunity to meet the people and
talk over locol conditions. The
celebration three years ago was a
splendid success and is pleasantly
remembered by the people who
attended.
