FIRE IN HERCULES MINE
FORMS A DEADLY GAS
SUCCEED IN REACHING STATION
LAST NIGHT AND MAY CON-
TROL THE FIRE.

Fire in the Hercules mine which
was discovered last Tuesday morning
and which for two days threatened to
do great damage to the property. Is
reported to be we'll under control this
morning. The fire could probably
have been extinguished or controlled
at any time had it not been for the
formation of carbon monoXide gas In
the big underground station and
throughout the main tunnel. After the
fire was discovered the men who were
endeavoring to put it out were over
come by the gas before they realized
it's presence, and it was only by he
roic efforts that several Of them We're
saved from DEATH One of them, Will
liam Foley, failed to respond to ordin
ary restorative methods and was TAX
en- to the hospital. His condition was
very serious, but Is reported rapidly
recovering this morning. The Hecla
company and the Bunker Hill e. Sui
livan sent first aid and helmet teams
and rendered most valuable services.
IIt is reported that the rescue car
maintained by the bureau of mines is
on the way.
Reach the Station.
All day yesterday blast of air was
being forced into the Hummingbird
tunnel by the powerful compressor,
the purpose being to force draft up
| through the old workings and thus
free the tunnel and station from the
gas and smoke. This was accom-
plished at about midnight last night
when men reached the big under
| ground station. AS far as could be
determined at that time. no serious
damage had been done; in fact, there
is hardly anything combustible there
except the wooden frame work about
the shaft. The fire seems to be con-
fined to the old workings above, hav-
ing started some ESQ feet back of the
hoist. All the ground above has been
worked out and the fire itself will re-
suit in no material loss. The danger
is in the formation Of the deadly gas
while the fire lasts, which being heav-
ier than air works it's way into the
lower levels and renders them un-
tenable. 1t is expected that 1t will be
possible to reach the fire with water
today and that it will then be only a
question of time when it will be ex-
tinguished.

1T Is stated. and so far as known no
denial has been made, that when the
car arrived at Burke Tuesday after
noon bearing group Of first aid and
helmet men from the Bunker Hill 4
Sullivan to help rescue men from the
Hercules mine and assist in fighting
the fire in the mine, union pickets
surrounded the car and called the men
scabs and endeavored to induce them
to stay out Of the mine, and that as
consequence three of the Bunker Hill
men deserted. Later. 1t Is stated that
some of the union men went to the
Hercules mine and offered their SER
vices to fight the fire conditioned up
on the dismissal of certain so-called
unfair men who were on the job. The
offer was promptly declined and the
union men requested to leave the
mine premises II this is true. then
1t forms the most damaging indict-
ment that has been placed against the
union. When human lives are in dan
ger and valuable property is being de-
stroyed, men do not attempt to OBJ
struct assistance because the prop
erty happens to be owned by a non
union company, nor do they stop to
inquire whether their co-workers car
ry union cards. To render help on
such occasions has In all times been
regarded as the noblest attribute OF
man. and no organization that ignores
1t can hope to retain public respect
and sympathy. II the charge Is not

During the week committee OF
former employees of the Hunter mine
conferred with Manager c. L. Herrick
with the view to adjusting the differ
ences, but without success. While
no official report of the conference
i has been given out, 1t is learned from
an authentic source that the man
agement had nothing to offer except
the "Gentlemen's agreement" as for
mulated by General McWade and
which was rejected. During the con-
ference, however. it is learned that
the management proposed to. resume
operations under the same conditions
that have been accepted by the en-
ployes Of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan,
hut this proposal was also turned
down. While the Bunker Hill & Sui
lvan plan divides the time going to
and from underground work between
the company and employees. and con-
cedes eight hours per day to surface
men, 1t also includes wage scale OF
25 cents per day less for muckers
than was paid in the mines now clos
ed by the strike.

true, the union should make haste to
publicly free itself from the shameful
imputation.
Parties from Mullan reported this
morning that a. meeting Of former
employees of the Hunter was held on
Tuesday evening. 48 being present,
and that vote was taken on the
question of returning to work. All

ed that the action has been submitted

more anxious to get back on the pay

LIBERTY BoN0 COUPONS
 TO BUY w. S. STAMPS

The treasury department Monday, through the Connecticut War Savings Committee, advised every holder of bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan to reinvest the half-year interest which is due April Is, in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. Tile govern meats thrift campaign offers Liberty bond holders, particularly the holders portunity to place their Lihrty bond government at a lucrative interest rate. liberty bond interest coupons, as such, do not earn interest. They are the interest. Invested in war savings stamps the interest will earn four per cent compounded quarterly, will be safely invested, and will always be available for a pressing noed.
 The bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan, which pay six months interest to- day earn at the rate of IA per cent. Two coupons from $100 bonds of this issue will more than buy 8 war savings stamp, costing this month s415. In five years the war savings stamp will be worth s5. A Jingle cou- poa from a hundred dollar bond of the fourth issue will more than purchase eight thrift sta mns. or half the num- Der necessary for exchange into a. war savings stamp.
 Through the post orTice department the treasury department has arrang- cd that Liberty bond interest coupons will be accepted as cash in the pur- chase of thrift stamps or war savings stamps at any post office.

QUICK WORK ON FIRE IN
 SKATING RINK GALLERY

As Officer Charles McF'adden was making his rounds shortly after 1 o. clock this (Tuesday) morning he saw, as he turned the corner Of Shetucket and Market streets. near Commerce street, the reflection of fire in Olympic
 hall, which is now used as a skating rink. The windows were red with the glare of fire and he immediately went
 to Box 16 at the corner of Main and
 Market streets and sent in an alarm.
 The companies made quick response and upon arriving did some more good
 work in using their scaling ladders to
 get to the windows where the fire was
 burning.
 The fire was in the balcony of the hall and in the partitions between the Olympic building and the Auditorium , theatre. The first stream of water set tied the blaze and the fremen cut l through the floor and into the parti- tions To make sure no sparks re- mained a good deal of chemical was used. The fire in all probability start l ed from a cigarette butt thrown under 1 the mating in the balcony. The aerial i ladder was used to get the line oi chemical to the fire The damage was i slight. probably not amounting to more , than hundred dollars

Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. was the speaker Monday evening before the United at a meeting following a supper at e:15 in the parlors of the Second Congregational church.
 The subject given for President Perkins to speak upon was the Future O. the Street Railways; but he said he nli.si decline to bt a prophet to this eX.enf. He col,ld only review eeso- dltiors and say that crisis had

yond that he could not say. It seems to be threatened with the abandon ment of its lnternrban service and if that should happen it would put Nor wich back a hundred years. Speak ing of the way the law compe!s the trolley road to do highway work, ile said that the Shore Line is now fac ing the expenditure Of s100,000 through the dema nds of the highway department. This is all money to be spent that does not bring the road a cent of return. There is s59,00o in l the town of Groton. s14 GOO in Put nam, s29,0o0 in West Thames street Norwich, and in addition to this S105.- 900 for the connections and track over the Thanss river bridge. He said he couldn't see where the money was coming from In the last five years the Shore Line has spent s7s5. 1 eco in highway betterinents.
 By charts. President Perkins show cd for the several divisions of the road how operating expenses had been going up until they were exceeding gross revenue. The two big factors in 1 this were labor and coal which had 1 each doubled in a few years. In | loss of revenue through ownership of 1 the Shore Line properties, the late Morton F. Plant said President Per 1 1ins, had probably contributed S2,- 1 G90,eGo to the people of Eastern Con- lnecticut.

 CTS are unwilling to pay the cost oi ! service.
