Flames Follow Explosion il
Plant Tower at Niagara
Falls.

North Tonawanda, n. Y, Oct. 81.
Eleven men were killed in an ex-
plosion and fire caused by the over
heating of a transformer in the
power tower maintained by the Nj
agara Falls Power Company at 8
O'Clock this morning. Five of the
men were burned to death while
six were so badly burned that their
deaths followed shortly.
The men were engaged in the
work of connecting the cables with
the generators of the local plant
and the work completed and power
turned on, the test had been made.
The power was on about seven min
utes when a sizzling noise was
heard in the geperator box. Or
ders were given to shut off the
power, but before the switch was
reached there was a terrific eXplo-
sion. Oil used for cooling the
transformers was instantly ignited
and the room in which the men
were working was flled with gas
and flames. Five of the men were
burned almost to a crisp. The
Others dashed for an opening
Some were overcome and fell in the
doorway.
Persons in tho street heard the
explosion and sent in an alarm OF
fire. AmbulanCes and physicians
were summoned and six of the men
were taken TO the hospital, where
they died.

LABOR ASSAILS
CAN COMPANY
Statement Charges Prof,
teering and Unfairness at
Plants on Strike.

Organized labor yesterday de-
clared war on the American Can
Company. in whose plants there has
been a strike of machinists for sew
eraI weeks.
According to William II. John
ston. president of the Machinists
the strike followed refusal of the
company to recognize the union OF
to increase the wages paid machin-
lists. The strike affects fifty-siX
plants of the company. located in
many States. In statement John
stOn accused the company OF prof.
teering and unfair practices. He
said:
In 1917 the company had net
earnings Of s22,0OO.OOO. or five times
as much as the average for prs-war
years. The COn<pany's valuation OF
its plants and equipment was in
creased from 1916 to 1919 only
about $5.0OO.0OO. so that its greater
profits cannot be attributed to the
enlargement of business.
The company has extended its
operations over the entire can-mak-
ing industry. buying uD plants in
every section of the country and
then abandoning and dismantIing
many in order to concentrate theiI
control.
Now that the company controls
the market it does not hesitate Ia
threaten Gamers and packers with
a stoppage Of supplies If they re-
fuse TO make IOnE-term contracts
and they have increased their prices
beyond all reason"
The machinists are contending for
a wage of 81 an hour with extra
pay for overtime.

PLEA FOR COX
BY PARTY FOES
League Made Issue In State
ment Signed by More Than
SO Chicagoans.
Especial to The wsshinrtOu Herald. }

Chicago, Oct. S1.-A high light
on the climax OF Gov. CoX's cam
paign in the Middle West. which
ended Saturday night in Chicago.
was the issuance today OF an ap-
peal in his behalf by more than
nifty Republicans. Progressives, In
dependents and men and women
prominent in political, social and
educational circles.
The appeal is signed by Morton
d. Hull. who four years ago was a
leading candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor OF
Illinois, Mrs. Emmons Blaine,
daughter-in-law OF James 6.
Blaine; Allen B. Pond, Thomas F.
HoIgate and othrs.
The one issue before us OF para
mount Importance il the course
which the United States should take
as to its entrance into the existing
league of nations" says the appeal.
"AIl other questions can be dealt
with progressively. This must be
settled by the voters now. Other
affairs should make way for this
immediate business of the United
States.
We have two courses which We
can take for a result: Elect a candi-
date whose utJerances have been
against the league. or elect a CanG:-
date who has strongly expressed,
at all times. hts iesire and inten-
ton, il elected. to do what he can
to take America into the league
with such proper and undestructive
reservations as to the meaning and
obligation of the United States un-
der the covenant a. may appear
wise and feasible, backed by party
committed to our entrance into the
league.
A vote for this candidate will oc
a positive vote for the entrance Of
the United States into the league OF
nations.
we believe this question tran
scends all claims OF party loyalty and
allegiance. ard that az other ques-
tions should be allowed to swai,
their turn"

heartful. honey quality. and it's
like shaking hands all around to read
1t.
Another feature of the worth OF
the country paper. and the general
interest in 1t. was pointed out recent
ly by The Review of Reviews:
Country weeklies are pre-eminent-
ly the home papers of newspaperdom.
They are not hurriedly scanned while
men travel to business, then left to
brakemen to gather up. They go di-
rectly to homes; their reading is
duty as well as pleasure. Hence
their peculiar value as an advertising
medium"
And their advertising columns hold
not only the immediate home-inter-
cst, but as an index to the business
prosperity of their towns, they attract
business from the cities.
Standing by the. home paper in its
every effort to advance home-inter-
ests is what makes towns grow. And
that Is what every public-spirited cit
izen. in every community that has
newspaper, does at all times.
