story told by eyewitnesses who discov-

and who have been within a mile OF
the blistering white and red fountain.
Miss Louis Macmillan of Honolulu,
who has just returned from a first
hand inspection of the eruption OF
Mauna Loa, tells the following eye
witness story Of the spectacle:
"The still hot rock under our feet
commenced to scorch our shoe soles
after five minutes or so of standing
on II. A foot back of where ! was
standing, n red-hOt bed of lava with a
few cool stones scattered Over it, like
a bed of Goals with a few small clink-
ers on top, glowed constantly. Six
feet away on the other side a gas
flame several feet high played con-
tinually over a patch OF bare red-hot
rock, and anywhere We looked into
the cracks, the fiery, uncooled core
could be seen evilly cleaning. Every
step had to be taken with care not to
put the foot down into any of these
cracks.
AS night came on, we expected
darkness, but instead a bright. rosy
glow suffused the whole country
roundabout. 1t was reflected from
the clouds overhead, which were bril-.
'iantly lit up by the glowing lava"

with The least possible delay in order
hat the public needs for coal may be-
promptly met, in Il circular prepared

idle since the strike on Oct. 81 have
resumed operations. Reports from
several mines told Of hosting of coal
and operators here stated that coal
would be moving rapidly in a few
days.
II has been stated that the govern
ment intended TO proceed with the
grand jury investigation of charges of
violation of the Lever act and anti
trust laws through conspiracy to limit
the production of coal. These charges
involve both miners and employers.
On the other hand, it was Indicated
that charges of contempt made against
eighty-fOur officials of the mine work
ers for alleged violation of the federal
court injunction against the strike
probably would be dropped.
In their circular the miners officials

and quote a memorandum drawn up
and agreed to between them and At
torney General Palmer as "A basis for
settlement. The difference between
the plan accepted and that proposed
by Fuel Administrator Garfield was
pointed out. The Garfield plan, it is
declared, closed the door for any in
crease in wages beyond II per cent

cred of vital Importance to the coal
