Borah Upholds Miners in
Demand for Higher Wages

Washington Oct. 3O.-"The btu
minous mine workers are right In
their demands for higher wages"
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho. de-
clared In the senate this afternoon.
THE miners are entitled to living
wage" he said.
He opposed the joint resolution
providing that congress give the ma
tional administration and all others
in authority assurance of it's con

support" in the impending coal strike.
When Senator Thomas, democrat,

TWENTY MINERS MISSING

Amsterdam, o., Oct. 30.--An hopes
Of rescuing the twenty miners en-
tombed in mine No. 2, of the Yough-
iogheny and Ohio company here, was
abandoned today when shortly be-
fore o'clock officials and state mine
workers ordered all of the rescue
workers outSof the mine.
This order was hurriedly issued
when fire broke out behind the res-
cuers in the mine entry and they
were forced to fight their way II
safety. At that time they were withih
100 feet of the point at which thu
men are believed entombed.
Officials were forced to throw q
Gordon of guards about the top Of
the mine shaft to keep away members

The entries are filled with gas,
mine inspectors say.
The danger of explosion grew to-
day and state mine inspectors de-
cided to keep everyone at least 100
feet from the mine entrance.
A careful re-check this morning
developed that twenty miners are
| missing. instead Of nineteen, as first
believed. -
Urged on by the cries of the wiveY
and children of miners trapped in

and Ohio Coal company here, nearly
1000 miners working in relays OF

The last party to come out of the
mine said that the walls of the main
entry were falling in as they came
out. The fire, which first swept
through the wooden construction In
the mine, has communicated to thS
coal. This is generating deadly gases
and made the work of rescue the lasi
few hours one of terror.

FAINT RAYS OF
HOPE FILTERING
Miners Receptive Of Over
ture' : ON Operators Who
re in Session.
FEr : Al ACTION IMPENDs

u ) apolis, Ind, Oct. 30.-With
the Se of half a million soft coal
mi, of the country definitely de-
teE- ID upon so far as the miners
are o~Acerned, attention today shifted
TO Washington, where government
agencies are formulating a program
to deal with the strike, and to Cleve-
land, where bituminous operators of
the central competitive district are
meeting today. From these two places
filtered faint rays Of hope that an
eleventh hour solution of the coal
controversy might be reached to fore
stall a tie-up of mines at midnight
tomorrow.
That the miners are still receptive
of overtures from the operators was
indicated today by the executive
board Of the United Mine Workers,
which remained in session after ad-
journment last night of the confer
ence Of mine officials, which drafted
a Statement to the public" declaring
that the strike could not be averted.
For two hours the conference late
yesterday quibbled over the one word
action" in the statement-which, in
effect, was an answer to President
Wilson's plea that the strike call be
rescinded--and finally determined
upon the word agreement" which
was held to strengthen the miners
position.
Miners executives today heard with
interest hints of federal action to
prevent the tie-up of the mines, and
there was considerable speculation
over the possibility of court action,
but this was held improbable as
every man would have to be served
with iniunction proceedings.
what aor,eared more nrobabIe was
that the mines would be taken over
bodily by the government for tenn
porary administration and operation.

BAD TIME FOR
 GERMAN WOMEN
 TO GET MARRIED

Berlin, Oct. 4-CBy The Associated Press) )-The war has left Prussia with a surplus of women over men, there being now, it is estimated, l. 107 females for every thousand males. This, it would be generally assumed, correspOndingly dimintshes women's matrimonial prospects in Prussia
 Dr. Robert Behla, government expert on vital statistics, expects, however, an increase over the normal percentages of marriages in Germany, contending that such increase is a natural consequence of all wars. He says that wage earners generally marry more r&.,idly than do others af- ter the way because of the improve ment in their economic condition due to their increa sed wages.
 The number of marriages in Prus- sia last year was about 100000 less than took place in the last peace year when there was a surplus of only f = women to every thousand men.
