FIRE CHIEF RIERA,

Chief Hack Riera, Of the local fire
department, had a narrow escape from
death yesterday while fighting a roof
blaze at the home Of Mrs. Jane II.
Maura, 202 w. Gadsden street. Penned
under the roof by flames which burst
out behind him after he had made his
way into one of the gables trying to To-
cate the starting point of the fire, the
chief was completely cut off from the
hole in the roof through which he had
entered. He escaped only by cutting
his way through the floor to the room
below.
The roof of the house was badly
damaged and will have to be entirely
replaced. The flames had eaten their
way under the shingles into the board
ing before the, fire was discovered, and
the firemen had a hard fight to save
the building. Effort to locate the start
ing point Of the blaze was fruitless, be-
cause the fire was so widespread when
the firemen arrived. Sparks are blamed
for starting the blaze.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Further
conferences between representatives II
the seamen's unions and Secretary
Davis, who is attempting to reach a
settlement of the wage dispute involv-
Ing American shipping, were deferred
today until Monday to give union
leaders an opportunity to report to
their organizations the terms of the
proposed agreement as it has been
evolved in the conferences.
The terms. it is understood, pro-
vide for a continuation of the eight
hour day and three shifts a day
which 1t is said, has been a point of
contention, with a proposed reduction
of wages, which government officials
declare is not drastic.
The union representatives have re-
fused to sign any agreement which
provides solely for a reduction in
wages, but have made no statement
as to whether they would urge the
workers to accept reduction to pre-
serve the eight-hour day. On the
other hand Chairman Benson, of the
shipping board, declared in kilograms
sent late today to operators of ship
ping board vessels in all port that the
board was standing fast in it's refusal
to discuss a compromise on the wage
ment that the men had been invited to
discuss wages and working conditions
at any time.

CINCINNATI, May 6.-Organized
labor is planning to meet the high cost
of living and profiteering by the es-

Plans for promoting this movement
through the trades unions in the
United States were discussed at length
here today by the executive council Of
the American Federation Of Labor, and
will be incorporated in the councils

federation in Denver.
The council, it was learned will ask
the federation to endorse the work of
the federation's special committee on
cooperative societies and give its full
support to the movement, which has
already gained headway in the central
states.
"Not only can we reduce the cost OF
living" said James Duncan Of Quincy.

can eliminate profiteering. We can

the bill is claimed to aid "will be
