VEIN COLLAPSES
IN COAL MINE;
BURIES 100 MEN

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 5.-The lives
of four miners are believed to have
been lost in an unusual accident to-
day in the Barnum mine of the
Pennsylvania Coal company, near
Pittston.
There were about 100 men and
boys at work when the middle vein
collapsed. The passageway was not
entirely filled and all but four of the
workmeh were rescued.
Twenty-three Ct them were slightly
hurt. Two of those believed to be lost
are William Knott, as years old, and
Michael Rock, both miners, who lived
at Duryea, Pa.
The accident was due to the fact
that two gangs of men in different
veins were working toward each
other. They came too close together
and suddenly there was a great rush
of coal ard rock as the roof caved
in. About 500 yards of material came
down.

Jan. 5.-The officer commanding the

GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE over
MEATPLANTS
Regulation Necessary at This
Time, Says Federal Trade
Man; Control Through a
Receivership.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-The United
States government may take over the
meat industry Of the country in order
to control the three principal necessi-
ties of wartime-meat, coal and trans
Eportation. This was plainly indicated
at today's session of the federal trade
commission here.
An official connected with the com
mission which has been investigating
meat conditions here prophesied that
the government intended to seize all
the packing and allied industries, and
Francis J. Heney, who is. examining
witnesses, did not deny that the plan
was being considered in Washington.
THE course the investigation is TAX
ing is plain enough said Mr.. Heney.
Draw your own conclusions. must
absolutely decline to be quoted in con-
nection with the matter. 1t is up to the
federal trade commission. l have
been ordered to conduct the investiga-
ton along the lines taken. The gov
ernment will do what it sees fit"
"The federal government will as
sume control Of the business through
receivership," said member of the
commission who disclosed the pur-
pose of the countrywide meat investi-
cation now in progress. II cannot be
quoted. The meat supply is to the
nation what the railroads are to trans
portation and it has been conclusively
proved that regulation at this time is
necessary"
Toger J. Maynes, a local slaughter
er, was put through a long series of
questions tending to illustrate how the
government could operate the meat
industry to keep down prices and con-
serve the supply.
Maynes testified that he had already
placed his ideas at the disposal OF
Washington and asserted that federal
meat inspection should first be done
away with.
Prices could be lowered and Is per
cent of the cattle and meat supply
of the country could be conserved"
said Maynes, who was subpoenaed as
an expert, "if the government were
immediately to fix prices every week.
The government should then pass
Legislation stopping federal destruc-
ton of cattle. offal of which only is
found to be infected with tubercular

The Bees Comics in One
Color for TOddY OnLY

1t is due our readers to explain
that the consignment OF colored
comic supplements for this issue of
The Bee, printed specially for us
in st. Louis, was destroyed in the
Missouri Pacific freight house fire.
We did not learn this until too late
to have the edition run over again
and shipped to us in time for to-
days distribution.
Not to disappoint our readers,
however, we immediately wired to
have the mats of the pictures for
warded post haste and have been
thsu enabled to supply this feature
as usual except as printed in black
instead OF in four colors, for which
our own presses are not equipped.
We can assure our readers the col
ored comic supplements will be
continued next Sunday and there
after with the Katxenjammers,
Marie's Beau, Happy Hooligan
and all the favorite subjects, but
also with superior paper, ink and
presswork, as anyone who will
compare ours with our competi-
|. tors will readily see.
We trust our readers will ap-
preciate our difficulty growing out
of the fire and the enterprise by
which we have remedied it as far
as possible.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Couldn't Buy an oil Stove

New York, Jan. 5,-John D. Rookie
feller, jr., has been obliged to close
his New York home and move into
his fathers home at Tarrytown, N.
Y, because the Standard Oil COM
pany was unable to provide him with
oil stove heaters. They did not have
any left to give him. Mr.. Rockefeller's
home and those of several other
wealthy New Workers adjoining have
a common central heating plant, but
lack of coal forced it to close. He
sent a requisition to the Standard Oil
company, in which he and his father
are heaviest stockholders, for Sc oil
stoves. .. ,ssr.
Supply exhausted. Can't get them

swer, whereupon Mr.. Rockefeller.

OF representative men OF all Sc
GETS VARIOUS VIEWS.
He had read the statement OF
labor's war aims, he continued, and
had discussed the subject of war aims
with former Premier Asquith and
with Viscount Grey,
Had the nationalist leaders in Ire
land not been engaged with the tan
gled problem of Irish self-govern-
ment he would have been. happy to
exchange views with them. He had
also consulted representatives OF
Great Britain's overseas dominions.
"We are not fighting a war of ,ag-
gression against the German people"
declared the premier. "The destruc-
ton or disruption of Germany or the
German people hasNnever been war
aim with us since the first day of the
war to now.
"The British people never aimed at
breaking up the German peoples OF
the disintegration of their state. Our
wish is not to destroy Germany's
great position in the world, but to
turn her aside from schemes Of mill
tary dominatio nto-- devote her
strength to benehcent tasks" .-'
Doesn't Want Stanlboul.
The premier continued win the
declaration that Great Britain was not
fighting to take Constantinople from
Turkey nor destroy Austria Hungary.
1--WE are, not fighting he said, ito
destroy Austria-Hungary or to de-
prive Turkey of its capital or the rich
lands in Asia Minor and Thrace, which
are predominantly Turkish" .
Our viewpoint" the premier de-
clared, SIS that the adoption of a
democratic constitution by Germany
would be the most convincing .evi-
dence that the old spirit of military
domination was dead, but that is a
question for the German people to de-
eide"
The basis of any territorial settle
ment must be government with the
consent of the governed, the premier
asserted.
. Referring to the pronouncement
Vnade December Is by Count Czernin,
the Austro-Hungarian minister, at
the Brest-Litovsk peace conference,
the premier said:
To Stand by French.
"It is impossible to believe that any
permanent peace could be erected on
such a foundation" -..
1--WE mean to stand by the French
democracy to the death" the premier
continued, "in the demand the French
make for reconsideration of the great
wrong of 1871. when Alsace-Lorraine
was torn away from them. This sore
has poisoned the peace of Europe for
half century and until it is cured
healthy conditions cannot be re-
stored"
Rcferrinv to the pronouncement OF
Foreign Minister Czernin that it was
not the intention of the central pow
ers to appropriate ,forcibly any occu-
pied territory or deprive of its indie
peudence any nation which had lost
it during the war, Mr.. Lloyd George
said it was obvious that any scheme
OF conquest and annexations could be
perpetrated within the literal inter
probation of such pledge. He con-
tinued:
Treaties Must Be Upheld.
I'VE must know what is meant for
equality of right amongst nations
small as we'll as great; it is one OF
the fundamental issues this country
and her allies are fighting to estab-
ish."
