of the Silver King Coalition Mines
company, of which David Keith is
president and Thomas Kearns vice
president and general manager, are
aroused over an attempt to force on
them a "Workmen's Compensation
Agreement says a Park City dis
patch.
Copies of the agreement We're dis
tributed to all employees of the Sill
yer King Coalition company last
week.
1t is reported that twelve who re
fused to sign the agreement have
been discharged
1t is proposed in the contemplated
agreement to force an organization
to be known as the Silver King
Coalition Proyident & Accident In
'surance association to be under the
direction and control of a board OF
trustees made up of six members.
Three of these are to be elected By
the employees and three by the Of
icers of the company.
This feature forms the basis of one
Of the most objectional point In the
proposed agreement, as 1t is set forth
that in case of a tie vote on any sub.
ject the general manager Of the com
pany," Thomas Kearns, is to act as
umpire and cast the deciding vote.
The miners, in Directing to this
provision in the proposed agreement
hold that in every case where tnclI
rights are at question the decision
will be wholly in the hands of the
company.
The plan also provides that each
employee shall pay a monthly assess
ment of 81 into the treasury of the
association in addition to the assess
ment of 81 a month already levied
againt every employee for hospital
funds. 1t also gives the company au-
lthority to withhold this amount from
Ilnt pay Ol edtn employee.
The plan also is objected to by the
miners on the ground II binds them
to accept In full the stipulated set
Element and to relieve the company
from all further obligations and liza
bility.
The proposed agreement provides
IA death benefit of $1,000 and a week
ly indemnity of s12, not to exceed a
period of ten weeks. In a of injury
sustained while in the employ of the
company.
Another objection raised by the
miners to signing the agreement is
that In the event OF the passage of a
more liberal compensation law by the
state legislature 1t L. feared their
signatures to the Silver King agree
ment would initiate against their
rights.
The agreement provides that When
n mar leaves the employ of the COM
pany for any cas- whatsoever he
automatically ceases to be a member
OF the association and loses all inter-
est and claim in the funds of the
association. no matter how much he
may have contributed thereto. Power
also Is given the board of trustees TO
increase the assessment by the sum of
so cents a month, or less. and 1t is
provided that the liability of the asso-
citation shall be limited to the amount
Of funds collected from contributors
and remaining in the treasury.

number of other employees of the

ing as the result of a fire which Mon
day afternoon destroyed the COM

The fire started in the feed store

in which the box factory was located.
and burned SO fiercely that escape by
means of the stairways and fire es-

injured. Firemen still searching the
ruins feared that more bodies would
be discovered, as not all Of the twen-

Discover Plot to Blow Up steamers.

Discover Plot to Blow Up Steamers.
Robert Fay, a lieutenant of the
Sixteenth Saxony regiment, admitted
in New York, Monday, that he came
to this country last April through an
arrangement with the German secret
service, for the purpose of blowing
up or delaying steamers sailing from
this country with arms and ammuni-
tons of the allies.
Fay declared, however. that while
he had been here he had acted indie
~pendently of the German embassy or
other German agents here. He add
ed that he had told Capt. Won Papen,
military attachie, and Capt. X. Boy
ed, naval attache of the German en-
bassy, of his plans, but said that
both men told him not to interfere
with steamers sailing from American
ports or American ammunition
plants.
Fay and his brother-in-law, Walter
l.. Scholz. were arraigned at Wee
hawken on charges of conspiracy.
and we're held without bail for an
examination. Fay and Scholz were
arrested by New York and New Jer-
sey detectives near Grantwood, n. j.,
while the two men were experiment.
ing with explosives.
Paul Daeche of Jersey City, who
was arrested at his home also was
arraigned with Fay and Scholz. He
was charged with conspiracy and held
without bail. Detectives said, how
ever, that Daeche had given them
much valuable information and they
expected him TO be an important wit
ness.
Fay said that while serving in the
field with the German army he in
vented a device for blowing up ships.
Police announced that Fay had
made a complete confession of his
activities and later the prisoner gave
cut a statement to the newspapers.
Fay said that he and Scholz had
conducted a large number of expert
ments with his mine device along the
Hudson river, but declared that
Daeche was in no way implicated.
The man said that although Fay did
not appear to be a German name,
Robert Fay was his correct name and
that he was listed under that name
in his regiment. Fay said he was
we'll supplied with money when he
arrived and therefore was able to
act on his own responsibility.
