BURIED BY COAL


Rutland, Dec. although he was
buried nearly an hour under several
tons OF coal, James Regan of this city
aged about so years, is alive and doe,
tors say that he will recover. Mr.. Re.
gan is employed by the Peoples Gas
company of this city and was engag
ed yesterday in unloading fuel from
car which was fitted with drop
bottom The car had been placed
over a receiving pit but the coal
would not move freely because of
snow and ice upon it.
Mr. Regain decided to stand on the
mass to remedy this when suddenly
the portion of the carload beneath
his feet began to slide and carried
him through the chute. At the mouth
OF the opening under the car one OF
his legs caught on an iron bar and
prevented him from going into the
pit. The coal slowly slid onto him
and he was buried to a depth of sew
eral feet.
An emergency call was sent TO the
Howe Scale works Office nearby and
a group of men went TO the rescue
with shovels. Ii was fully 10 mimi
ties before the exact spot where the
man lay could be ascertained and I'VE
more before his head was freed to
give him air. A half hours digging
was required before his body was lift
ed from the coal
A doctor gave him temporary re-
lief and he was moved to his home in
an ambulance. No bones were brok-
en- but Mr. Regain is suffering severe.
ly from the pressure TO which he was
subjected. He had not lost conscious
ness when rescued, as the coal was
large size and some air found It's way
between the pieces.

Referring to strikes at mines in Tlli-
nois, Kansas and Missouri, Mr. Tay-
lOr said serious labor difficulty pre-
scented itself, and must be met unless
the country is to suffer severe short
age of coal during the coming winter
These strikes he declared were in viO-
lation of the agreement between the
men and the fuel administration that
there would be continuous operation
of the mines until peace was declared
Mr.. Taylor told the committee that If
the ideas put into effect in certain To-
calities We're approved at the conven-
ton of mine workers on September 0
the problem of supplying the people
with coal this winter would prove seri-
