Hastings, Colo, April S0.-Three
men-Thomas Manville, mine worker;
D. II. Reese, mine inspector, and Phil
King, electrician-may be alive in an
air pocket 1000 feet underground in
the Hastings mine. wrecked by an en-
plosion and swept by fire at 9 O'Clock
Friday morning. But the theory is
discounted for company officials.
Poisonous gases fill the passages
which lead to the air pocket, and
fighting through the deadly damp, he'll
meted crews of rescue men are work
ing frantically in an effort to reach
the entombed miners.
Here is the basis for the belief that
Manville, Reese and King are still
alive: Twenty-one bodies have been
brought from the mine, and ninety-siX
others have been located by the he'll
met men, who have explored practical
ly every foot OF the mine except the
main heading, 200 feet further than
the last cross entry. AS 120 men were
known to have been in the mine at the
time of the explosion, this leaves
three unaccounted for.
The Ordway new era., 1917-05-04

Hastings, Colo, Arpil 30.-Virtually
all hope of saving any of the 120 men
entombed in the Hastings mine of the
Victor-American Fuel Company here
Friday morning has been abandoned.
James Dalrymple, state coal mine
inspector, who came from the mine,
gave it as his opinion that there was
no one left alive in the mine. Rescue
men who have been in the mine ex'
pressed themselves similarly.
G. F. Bartlett, president of the com.
pany, however, declared the work OF
rescue would go on until there is no
hope that any of the entombed men
are alive.
"In my opinion there was no fire in
the NINE" Dalrymple said. In this
view he is joined by practically all
employers and rescue men here. As
to the cause of the disaster he said
1--WE cannot tell until we reach the
initial point of the explosion. We are
working the north side of the air
course and coming back on the south
searching every entry in which there
were men working"
Rescue men, old miners, and old res
idents in this section put the present
disaster down as the worst that ever
occurred in the southern Colorado coal
fields. The same men united in shak'
ing their heads and saying, 81 don't
know" when asked about the cause
of the explosion.

Com. Phillips Addresses Trades
Assembly in Regard to
Fire Rates.

P. G. Phillips, commissioner of
public utilities, addressed the dele
gates at the meeting Of the FEEDER
ated Trades assembly last Friday eve
ming. He pointed out that of the
three million dollars invested in the
local water works system. $1,000, 900
had been expended for the purpose
of providing adequate fire-fighting
facilities, such as mains. and hydrants,
which has aided materially in making
the local fire department one Of the
most efficient in the country, with a
very small loss from fires.
The commissioner enumerated the
latest recommendations of the insur-
ance Underwriters necessary to change
this city's classification from class 3
to and thus obtain lower insurance
rates. He said that: the audacity of
the underwriters is almost inconceiv-
able. stating that Duluth has already
provided fire protection and reduced
the hazards far more than is merited
by the rates for insurance demanded
in this city. -
Mr.. Phillips said that it is time that
the people investigate this matter
and protest against present .condi-
tions.

izatiOn of the new wage-earners.
Freedom of expression is declared
by the report to be one of the funda-
mentals of democracy, but it is pointed
out that war conditions present very
different problems than those of
peace.
1--WE know that this very freedom
of expression, which is one of the
great opportunities Of a free people,
constitutes an equally potential OPP
portunity for /the enemies of our
country" the report says. "Those who
abuse the freedom of the press in or
der to endanger the perpetuity of our
republic and to undermine our free
institutions, should be punished as
traitors to the nation. Freedom must
not be confused with license"
Urgent recommendation is made by
the council that the eight-hour day
be extended by administrative author
ity to all commerce and industry as a
war measure. The report details the
fight for AN eight-hour day in govern
ment work and records that the Sec
rotary of war and the secretary of the
navy have inserted in contracts made
by their departments a provision for
employment Of workers on a basis of
eight hours labor. At the beginning
of war congress recognized the eight
hour principle in writing into the
naval appropriation law a clause that
in case Of national emergency the
president might suspend the eight
hour law. provided that overtime
should be paid for on the basis of
time~and half. In urging the extern
sion Of the eight-hour day to all in
dustry, the report says:
1.-THE failure Of all concerns to adopt
the eight-hour basis is the cause of
! more industrial discomfort. and UNI
rest than any other one condition" .

Government Would Take Over In

ConscfIpted.
By ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, Nov. . 15.-The
scarcity of labor and the urgency of
war work have resulted in great pres
sure from certain quarters for con-
scription of labor. The government,
some people think, ought to- force
workmen to work on government
tasks. Parts Of tie war program,
like ship constructed: and the build
ing Of airplanes, is hating because
labor is lacking.
In the numbering regions of the
Northwest an effort is being made to
have soldiers employed. in place of
striking lumberjaeks to get out spruce
for airplanes. Government REQUIRE
ments call for 10000 square feet a
day, and less than 1000 square feet
are being produced.
The administration has up to this
time refused to authorize any step
looking to CONSUMPTION of labor.
1.-THE time may come" said Assist
ant Secretary Of Labor Louis Post,
when it will be necessary to conscript
labor, but when that time comes, it
will be necessary also to take over
the industry in which the labor is con-
scripted.
1.-THE attitude of the government
has been very clearly stated by Secre.
tary of Labor William B. Wilson, who
has said repeatedly that under no cir
cumstances will labor be conscripted
in private profit employment. Such
CONSUMPTION would be slavery. There
can be no CONSUMPTION of labor, no
use of soldiers for labor purposes in
any industry controlled by private
parties OR, used for private profit. If
the lumber industry cannot get on
without conscripting labor, the forests
and mills must be taken over by the
government. And the secretary has
made clear his position that when
these industries are taken over and
conscripted labor is applied to them,
the former owners will not be paid a
profit. The best they can hope for
will be the return Of their properties
in a condition no worse than when
they were taken" j..
That government ownership of i'm
portant public utilities is fast ap-
preaching is indicated. by the feet that
the president is considering a. report
from the labor department recon-
mending that the government: take
oyer the telephone system of the Pa
cific coast. Recently q widespread
threatened strike was postponed by
agreement pending investigation by the
governments Cancellation, board. The
agent sent by this board recommended
that the government take over the
system and commander the en-
ployes. This recommendation is now
being considered.

DOESN'T SUSPECT THE GERMAN
HAND IN IT.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: l want to say that I never even
suspected the Chamber of Commerce
message of being pro-German.
That's not what's "the matter OF 1t. y
1t lacks timeliness, reason, and good
taste.
It's ridiculous on the face of it be-
cause it asks US to do what were
OVERRIDING now.
It's unpatriotic only because it's
foolish.
It's. Bryanesque That's all.
want to say this too, that any pros
pective buyer who SHES at a firm
because it has a German name, or has
German-Americans in it, is not quite
as broad gauge as he should be. II
any of these firms prefer German
goods I've yet to hear of it. And If,
like Hackfeld & Co., they were estab-
lished by Germans, their solid bust
ness methods during a long period Of
successful business in our islands,
qualities them to be called United
States, and nothing else. They employ
many Americans at the head of their
outside houses, and l am told that
Americans are preferred.
Personally have traded with Hack
field & Co. for % years and I like
them better now than did at the be-
ginning.
Yours in the interests Of humor and
common sense.
