NO DAMAGE IN WRECK IN CITY

Considerable excitement was caused
on the West Side. near the junction of
the Pennsylvania railroad tracks from
Chicago and Indianapolis, when two
box cars were derailed at 6 p. m. Mon
day. The long blasts from the wreck
whistle at the Pennsy shops made
everyone aware of the wreck. Then
it was learned that the wreck was
within the city limits.
The total extent of the wreck was
that the wreck train simply lifted the
cars back on the track. No damage
was done. nor was traffic tied up.

UNION men WATCH
SPREADING STRIKE IN
MINES OF INDIANA

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 27.-Of-
ficials Of the United Mine Workers OF
America today continued their close
scrutiny of news dispatches regarding
the strike which has closed all but
few of the bituminous mines In Illinois
and which has spread into Indiana,
closing half the mines in this state.
No action was taken by the national
officers.
Reports received from mining COM
munitieS in Indiana this morning in
dicated that mines were closed at
Clinton, Bicknell. Terre Haute, Linton,
and Jasonville.
The % mines in the Clinton field
were reported to be completely closed
with $500 miners idle. The executive
board Of the United Mine workers con-
tinued in session.
At meeting yesterday the situation
was not discussed, according to John
l.. Lewis, President of the United
Mine Workers. Mr.. Lewis said that
nc action had ben taken on request
made by Ed Stewart. president Of
District No. II, United Mine Workers
for a conference to be called immed-
lately to effect an agreement on wages
for monthly men and day men en-
ployed in the mines.
DISSATISFACTION over IU6 COdl oil Inc
settlement commissions award to
these men is said to be the principal
cause of the present strike.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 27-The
coal strike situation as reported today
to the officials Of District No. II.
United Mine Workers of America, and
the Indiana Coal Operators Associa-
ton is practically UNCHANGED from
yesterday. A conservative estimate
this morning from both sources places
the number of mines affected at ap-
the list of Monday.
A failure of the strike to spread to-
day leads operators and officials of
District No. II to believe the peak of
the trouble in Indiana has been
reached.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 27-About
! 800 miners employed at the Princeton
coal mines, at Princeton, Ind, are on
strike today. The men went out on
Saturday in sympathy with the Illi-
| nois workers but returned Monday to
clean up the mines. Other mines IN
| Gibson county are working.
| BICKNELL, Ind, July 27.-Every
mine in the Bicknell coal field is idle
| today. The strike of day and night
men, which yesterday afternoon af-
fected only two mines, today spread
to all other workings. About 1000

this field have been getting from $5.25
to $3.50 per day.
