AEOHt f-dEC Omes the death total tonight to thirty-fiye. The number of injured. including those treat ed at the scene. in hospitals and at their homes, was approximately 900. Nearly 100 of these are still beng treated in hospitals. The property damage is va riously estimated from s1,00000o to s2,5OO,- 900.
 Eight separate investigations of the explosion were under way tonight They were being made by the depart ment of justice, under the supervision of Attorney General Palmer and Will liam J. Flynn, chief of the bureau of investigation, the New York police de- partment the fire department, the building department the September grand jury, the medical examiners of- flee, and two private inquiries by in- surance companies and J. P. Morgan & Company.
 The key to the mystery apparently lies in the Identification of the rickety old wagon drawn by an old horse which was left standing at the curb in Wall Street near the United States assay office and across the street from the Morgan bank a few minutes be- fore the explosion. The horse was killed and the wagon blown to bits in the blast. The driver of the wagon is believed to have escaped Federal and police authorities tonight were centering their activities on this phase of the case.
 Every livery stable in the city is being canvassed to determine whether horse and wagon are missing. Ex- amiaation of the horses body disclosed that 1t had been newly clipped and shod. This and mark on the horse S shoes furnish the only clues to it's identity.

 Sir: The undersigned members of the commission appointed by you on September 1 with q view to making in- quiry into the differences between the mine operators and the miners of Ala bama, submit the following report:
 We have investigated the coal situa- ton from various points of view, keep ing constantly in mind the fact that the public welfare is at stake in the solution ofsthis eproblem, involving a great public utility We have acted promptly. Our first meeting was held on September 6.

 TIaiS is one of the most drastic
 pieces of labor Legislation ever
 proposed in Alabama, and for the
 first time recognizes the Tight and
 interest of the public in cOntrOvcr-

 their employees. A big fight is cx-
 pected against the measure, and
 the common talk is that both mine
 operators and mine workers will
 oppose the passage of the bill.

relation to all industry. It will in- evitably be it's solution in relation to the mining industry, involving great public utility. Collective action every where implies collective responsibility In conclusion. the commission ex- presses the conviction that the time has come when the public, acting through the legislature, should frankly face the present situation and deal with it without fear and without favor in justice and in fairness to both sides of the controversy and in particular to the public. With this end in view we are herewith submitting a tenta- tive draft of proposed legislation, the enactment of which would, in our view. tend to correct existing abuses, protect the public interest and stabil- ize the mining industry.

official has apparently centered his strike policy in large degree against those mine operators who produce domestic coal. This policy is perhaps the natural policy to adopt from the point of view of winning the strike, but it exhibits a singular lack of regard for the public health ana com fort. The responsibility for this situation is shared by brokers and dealers insofar as their contracts with the operators have given them exceptions to the rule. The commission is convinced that there exist individual instances of fine human sym pathy and reasonably righteous regard for the public welfare These men will have their reward.
