injured fatally when Denver 4 Rio
Grande passenger train No. I, west
bound, was struck and wrecked by an
immense landslide which crashed down
Niger hill near DeBeque, forty-two
miles east Of here.
The train was going ut full speed
when the slide struck it, turning over
the engine and derailing the mail and
baggage cars.
Scores Of passengers were badly
shaken up and bruised, but none was
injured seriously. Clerks in the mail
and baggage cars received the most
painful of the minor injuries re-
ported.
The part of Niger hill which
slipped from its bed and moved down
upon the train and track is oil shale
The slide this morning was declared
to be equal in size to the serious one
Of ten years ago which tied up traffic
on the main line of the Denver & Rio

A geologist who was on the train de-
clared tonight that the movement OF

down on the right Of way. The TRACK
was moved about 100 feet out Of line
There was very little rock in the mass

Washington. Sept. 11.-President
Wilson defined the federal govern
ment's attitude toward the vacation
strike in the anthracite coal industry
in message to union leaders In which
he declared that eve could not look the
world In the face or justify our &C
lions to our own people and our own
conscience IL we yielded one iota to the
men in the anthracite coal fields"
The message was addressed to Phil
ip Murray, vice president Of the United
Mine Workers. and other union lead.
ers. and contained an unqualified re-
fusal by the President to accede to
their request that he bring about Y re.
newnl Of negotiations with the EN-
ployers over wage scales.
Citing the history OF the strike
trouble In the mines and the report of
the government wage board, created to
fix new scales, whose award the men
have refused to accept. the President
said the men were violating con-
tracts entered into between them
selves. the coal operators and the gov
eminent"
He expressed appreciation for the
stand Of union officials against the
strike but asserted that the miners
were mot deceiving anybody" by tao
tics which had produced strike, no
matter what name Is given It," The
sanctity OF contract agreements, the
President indicated. would be upheld

tiers.
Huzelton, Pa.-After reading the
press reports Of the action Of President
Wilson In refusing the request Of the
miners to reopen the wage scale.
Thomas Kennedy, president Of District
No. Z United Mine Workers Of Amerl.
ca, stated the decision reached by Mr..
Wilson seemed more nm answer to the
insurgent element than \ reply to the
message sent to the White House by
the regular officers Of the union. The
"vucstion" policy had further spread
here when one Of the two independent
coliieries that hud continued operations
was closed down.
Scranton, Pa.-Withln u few days
every anthracite mine worker will be
on vacation" according to leaders Of
the vacation movement. This action.
they say. will be the miners answer

It's a matter of financing livestock
producers 30 TINT the 1OO,OOO,OOO peO-
pie In the country may have meat to
eat.
Leading bankers and producers,
spokesman for thousands OF sheep and
cattle raisers, will decide just how
much financing will be necessary to
carry the West along, for the West ID
said to be on the brink Of bankruptcy.
1t was estimated today that per-
haps eJOO.OOO.OOO will be necessary to
buy feeders and hlgh-priced feed and
work through the winter for the next
few years markets Local bankers,
whose institutions carry much cattle
loan paper. think probably one-half
this amount will suffice.
Summed up, the situation Is this :
Ranchers spent much money In higher
wages for hired hands, costlier hay.
corn and oats, higher interest rates.
only to sell their cattle on a weakened
market, responding to the public de-
mand for lower cost Of living.
In other instances western bankers
loaned amounts on cattle on the basis
of what the cattle should have brought
