LINEMAN HAS ACCIDENT

Albert Haskell, "a combination"
man working for the Mountain
States Telephone company, fell
from a pole near the Verne Bow
sher ranch last Saturday and suf-
fered broken arm and other in
juries. He was brought to this
city Immediately by Manager Alb
bott and Mr. Leckenby in a car
and taken to the hospital, where he
WAS attended by DR., Trueblood 1t
was found that he had his left arm
broken in two places at the wrist
and also had driven one of his
climbing spikes through his left
foot.
1t seems that Haskell had just
climbed to the top of the pole,
passed his safety belt around the
pole and thought he had snapped
the hook into the ring at the body
belt. He then leaned back, TAX
ing his hands from the pole, but
the snap was not secured and he
fell backwards to the ground, dis
tance of about twenty-five feet 1t
is the greatest wonder that he was
not killed outright. He is recov-
ering nicely.

by Senator Swanson. chairman OF the

recommendations. a. it was not author

thorities and operators. The state and
civil authorities are criticised Tor failure
to check unlawful actions and for per

the state were in session. The report
says. among other things;
As these unhappy conditions no
longer exist. as the differences between
the eontending parties have been AMIGA
bly, adjusted and an agreement entered
into for several years. and a. peace and
confidence now prevail. work and busi-
ness having been resumed, the commit
tee does not consider it wise or necessary
to elaborate upon the many causes
which produced these deplorable condi-
tions- Among the contributing causes
may be enumerated the following; The
failure OF the operators in the Paint
Greek district to renew their expiring
contract with the United Mine Workers,
the determination OF the coal operators
under no circumstances to recognize the
miners a. an organization OF union. and
the equal determination OF the miners
To organize and form a union-a right
