REMAIN IN FULL
OPERATION HERE
Mines in and Near Rock Island
County Will Not Adopt
Summer Basis.
MAY BE CHANGED LATER
Local Operators Among Those Attend
ing Peoria Convention Which
Has Just Closed.

While the coal mining companies IN
many districts of Illinois will work OF
a summer basis. which means but two
or three days a week. the mines in
Rock Island county and those in Mer
Ger will continue as heretofore.
This announcement was made today
by officials OF the various companies
where they attended the meeting OF
the state miners and operators.
An official of the Coal Valley Min
ing company, the headquarters of
which are in Rock Island with mines
at Sherrard and Matherville, stated
this morning that the men would work
full time for the present and that
changes, If any, would come later in
the summer, being the result of bus
mess demands.
The Alden Coal company, which has
mines at Gilchrist and the head Office
of which is located in Davenport, will
adopt a similar plan.
No Domestic Trade.
There is no domestic or household
trade from this time until September
and the bulk of the coal removed from
under earth is used by the factories
and railroads.
1t is for this reason that many of
the mines throughout the state are in
operation but a portion of the time.
The local companies Off cials were I'M
able to say whether or not they would
be forced to adopt a similar plan later
in the summer, but stated that it
would depend entirely on the business
secured.
Some of the mines in the state have
been at work for two or three weeks,
inasmuch as the provisions in the old
agreement between the miners and OPP
orators made that instrument effective
wherever the miners and operators
chose TO abide by it until a new scale
was adopted.
Local Operators Present
The miners convention in Peoria was
by local delegates from the
union. and Robert E. Lees, superintend-
ent of the Coal Valley Mining COM
pany. and J. W. Gilchrist, president,
and Hugh NJ Gilchrist, vice president.
OF the Alden Coal company, were

The convention was attended by $50
delegates and as operators and lasted
for six weeks. The miners convene in

IS PRISONERS IN A
BOLD ATTEMPT To
ESCAPE DETECTED
Inmates of County Jail Caught
in Desperate Effort to
Gain Liberty.
sILAS BENDER, LEADER
roeis Had 5een Slipped TO Men From
the ou;side-Larse Hole Cut in
Wall on Second Floor.

An attempted Jail delivery from the
comfy bastile was discovered about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, in which
practically every one of the IS prison
ers with Silas Bender at their head,
we're implicated.
The prisoners were working a hole
IN the wall between the large cell in
the second floor Of the Jail and the
bows department The general i'm
r-ession among the prisoners was that
had they reached through the wall they
would have gained their liberty. but
svch would not have been possible
without further work similar to that
used in gaining exit from the big cell.
Bender and several other of the
r-isoners were caught al work in the
vail \ new file was among the in
sf-uments they used. II is presumed.
therefore. that the devices used were
brought 20 the prisoners by visitors TO
the bastile.
Indications were that the work had
been going on for several days. In
Guided in the list OF prisoners were
several desperate characters and II is
thought that with the aid OF Bender
these conceived the idea of gaining
liberty for the entire crowd
That all Of the prisoners knew OF
the attempt has been learned by Sher-
in Bruner While ii is believed that
not all OF the prisoners were impli-
Gated vet the fact that practically the
entire group were aware of the condi-
ton. causes the opinion among the
deputy sheriffs. that a majority of the
prisoners aided in trying TO bring the
delivery about.
Bender at Head.
Bender. who Is one of the cIeverest
crooks ever incarcerated in the county
jail. is one OF many desperate charac-
ters in the bastile. At the present
time. the Jail contains more prisoners
being held on grave charges than has
been the case in years. so that an at
tempted Jail delivery now. does not
c1me as such a great surprise
The chance the men were taking was
big one. and the earmarks of the |
Bender mind we're stamped on the
work, since they had labored to secure
freedom for the past several days
without having been detected.
