The winds, however, Were rising, and
before long the hull of the boat sprang
a leak The nose of the plane began
rising. Then a big wave came along
and lifted us. THE plane turned over
and we were all thrown into the sea.
Mrs. Butte came to the surface first,

she cried.

few minutes and dived into the water
and obtained cushions from the plane
to use for life preservers. AS I re-
turned saw the body of Butte float

Mrs. Butte and obstructed her view.
AS the body passed me I noted a
wound on his forehead. He must have

COAL PROFITS CONCEALED BY
RAILROADS, SEVEN IN CONTROL
OF OUTPUT CHARGES GOMPERS
Mines Are Mere Wheels in Huge
Profit Making Machine,
Alleges Labor Leader.
(sy The Associated Prsss)

WASHINGTON. March 26. THAT
owners of coal mining properties both
anthracite and bituminous, are fore
ing a general strike IN union mines by
their "autocratic attitude" and that
the reason for their attitude can be
found in domination of the coal in
dustry by financial interests" were
charges made in a statement issued
today by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of Labor.
He declared that real ownership of
many bituminous coal properties lay
in the hands Of the steel industry,
while anthracite mines were asserted
to be largely adjuncts to railroad op-
erations."
Profit Machine.
Mr.. Gompers asserted that control
Of the mines was thus taken TO an
effective degree from the hands Of ac-
tuaI operating men and placed in the
hands of financial interests" Coal
mines have merely become wheels in
a great profit-making machine" he
said.
As to the anthracite fields, Mr..
Gompers said that congressional in
vestigations and federal proceedings
had disclosed seven railroads con-
trolling go per cent Of the output" He
named the roads as the Reading. Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western, Le-
high Coal and Navigation companies.
In Dividend Reports.
A result he asserted, was that prof
its from coal operations are not found
in the coal mine reports but in divi-
dend reports OF the railroads" where
they are manipulated so az to ap-
pear moderate. or at 2 loss. in order
that miners wages may be retained
at the lowest conceivable level"

E STRIKE SPREADS THROUGH ALL CEN1ERS OF INDUSTRY
LIVES IN SPIRIT OF
WILSON, WHICH WILL CONTINUE
FOREVER, SAYS LABOR LEADER
Great Former President Has
Emblazoned the Way to Inter
national Understanding.
(sy The Associated Pres.)

NEW YORK, March 26.-The ideals
and principles of Woodrow Wilson in
time will be recognized as spirits
guiding the world, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, today told a gathering of
labor men and representa- tives Of the
woodrow Wilson foundation, who met
to discuss the plan to honor the former
president
He characterized Mr.. Wilson as "the
firm friend of the laboTing man." cit
ing the seaman's act and the Clayton
antitrust law as instances of his eff
forts toward bettering the toiler's con-
dition.
Vision of Right.
Expressing disappointment that Mr.
Wilson's admirers had not already
over subscribed the s1,000,000 required
for the endowment, Mr.. Gompers said:
"The American people. and particu-
larly the working people owe it to the
country to see that this honor to
Woodrow Wilson shall be successful.
If there has ever been a man in re-
sponsible office in this country who
had the understanding and the vision
of labor's rights, it was Woodrow Will
son.
BIazed the Way.
THE Ideas, the hopes, the, activities
of right thinking men today will be
expended in an effort to make the
world understand. not merely for to-
day, that the principles and ideals for
which Woodrow Wilson lived and still
lives, will so on and on, and in time
will be recognized as spirits guiding
the whole world.
Whether we have a small pact, or
treaty of four or five, or an agreensnt
all the nations of tire earth,
the initial steps have been taken. Mr..
Wilson has pointed out the way to
understanding and we
are following the path he silently en-
blazons."
