NEAR TRAGEDY WHEN
2 CARS GO IN RIVER
AT THE osTEEN FERRY

Orlando, June 21-In an accident
Yesterday afternoon at Osteen Ferry
Mrs. Julian W. Banner and her three
little children, of Miami, very narrow
ly escaped drowning when a truck
which was on the ferry In front OF
the Banner car backed into them up
setting the machine in IS feet OF
water.
It seems that Mr. Banner, who is
man In the employ of the United
States Department of Justice, was re-
turning to the East Coast city. When
he reached Osteen large truck was
waiting to be carried across the st.
Johns river by the ferry. Mr.. Ban
ner ran his Maxwell on the ferry be-
hind the truck as is the custom, the
ferry easily accommodating two ma
chimes. The driver of the truck not
having an emergency brake on his
car, threw the gear into reverse to
keep the machine from running on
the ferry. When the East side OF
the river was reached he, forgetting
the machine was in reverse, crankd
Iit and as luck would have it, the en-
CINE fred on the first turnover. This
brought the truck violently against
the Maxwell in which were Mr.. and
Mrs. Banner, their six and eight yeal
old children, besides baby which
was in Mrs. Banners arms, and a ne
gro girl who the Banners had
|. adopted.
II Take Plunge
The force with which the Maxwell
was struck caused 1t to break thu
chain holding it on the ferry. Th'
car with its cargo of human occu
pants took a backwards dive int

ployment under an agreement reached
at a meeting of operators on Wednes-
day.
Lewis said the same methods are
being employed in Colorado, the New
River fields Of West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Central Pennsylvania and in the
Pocahontas fields.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson's plan for
negotiating a new wage scale by miners
and operators from every section of the
country was rejected by operators.
The rejection by operators brought
charges of bad faith by both sides in
the conference.
f. w. Lukens said that the opera
tors wished first TO negotiate q new
scale for the central competitive field
and later for other districts.
Lukens said Wilson's plan would
cause delay and continued:
"ln the central competitive field a
machinery for negotiation which has
been in existence for years now stands
ready to be set in motion.
Lewis jumped to his feet and said:
"The mine workers accept the pro-
posal Of Secretary Wilson without
change. Are the mine workers to be
everlastingly the victims OF bad faith
on the part Of operators. Under the
plan proposed by the operators the out
lying districts will be without contracts
until the scale has first been negotiated
for the central competitive fields.
Lukens said the miners showed bad
faith by breaking their contract.
