Governor Allen today called upon
all Kansans to observe Labor day
next Monday. He urged that ceie-
brations during the day besin keep
ing with the real spirit of the oc-
casion. He asks that employers af-
ford an opportunity for their en-
ployes to observe the day.
In his Labor day proclamation to-
day the governor said:
In conformity with custom and legisla-
tive action, the first Monday in September
of each year is set apart to be celebrated
as LABOR DAY. with a view of carrying
out the spirit and beneficial object of the
law, 1 recommend and request that on
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1922, all public
and private business be suspended, as far
as may be found practicable and consist
ent, in order that all those who labor may
be free from care on the occasion to the
end that all who toll may be able to enjoy
in full measure the pleasurable events of
the day. 1t is especially requested that all
employers of labor afford the largest op-
portunity to their employees to participate
in the celebration of the day, thus inviting
closer relationship and friendship among
all concerned. The closer and more AMIGA
BILE the relations between employers and
employees, the better it is for all. Both
should. therefore, alike Join in the OBJ
servance and the extraction of all possible
good results from it, The spirit of the oc-
casion should be in keeping with correct
principles of equality as defined in the
organic law upon which constitutional lib
erty rests, which always has been and al
of the American people. Problems which
seem difficult may be solved justly and
harmoniously by all who feel a common
concern for their country's welfare.

Efforts to Rescue Miners Due
to Reach Climax Today.
Work Desperately to Break
Thru From Nearby Shaft.
FIRE IS NOW EXTINGUISHED
Had Been Burning at 1900
Foot Level Since Sunday.
Men Might Live for Five or Six
Days, Say Experts.

Jackson, Cal, Aug. 81 Fire which
had been burning since Sunday mid
night at the 2,700 foot level of the
Argonaut gold mine. trapping forty
seven miners in the lower depths of
the mine. was eXtinguished last night,
but the mine shaft is still too hot for
rescuers to enter. So heated did the
rocks become that it is stated there is
danger of the flames breaking out
anew and at any rate it will be several
days before men may descend the
shaft.
In the meantime, the crews which
in stiff six-hour shifts are trying to
break thru from the Kennedy mine
are redoubling their efforts. A cave
in last night slowed their efforts.
They estimate they have 80 to 100 feet
more of rock and dirt to be moved.
A second rescue group was put to
work last night 800 feet lower in the
Kennedy mine, burrowing thru 500
to 500 feet of lose dirt and a 149-foot
slate wall to the 4,60O level of the Ar
gonaut mine.
Experts Have Hope.
Hope that The miners are still alive
was still firmly held by the consult
ing experts. They are acting on the
belief the men have lived thru more
than so hours of entombment-that
they will be alive for five or six days
to come.
Two women are Fastening from far
away Spain in anticipation of happy
reunions when they reach this little
mining town. Their husbands - T.
Garcia and l. GonzaIes-are among
the imprisoned miners Some months
ago theese two workers sent the money
to Spain that their wives might make
the journey to America, the women
are expected to arrive in Jackson the
end of the week.
Rescue, May Be Near.
!; jackson, Cal, Aug. 31.-Hope was
running high in Jackson today that
rescue f0rssthe forty-five miners en-
trapped by fire in the Argonaut gold
mine early today is near at hand
Efforts to reach the men were near
ing the climax today. The crew dig
gfng from the Kennedy mine were
hopeful that if no i'll luck is encoun-
tered they will soon be in position to
tap the Argonaut level. Another drive
for the Argonaut shaft from the Ken
nedy was started today as precaution
counter insurmountable difficulties in
the form of an extraordinary rock for
nation or rock fall.
The fire which entrapped the min
ers was reported this morning to be
virtually out. 1t will be some time
enter the shaft to do rescue work. The
heat and smoke is still terrific and
repairs must be made to the shaft,
where its lining was blasted away to
stop the spread of the blaze.
While some experienced miners hold
that the trapped men are dead, others
hold that they are alive and rescue
will reach them in time to prevent
their dying by starvation.
F. L. Lowell, engineer for the state
Industrial accident commission, be-
lieves the men will be found alive.

1. c. C. Issues Order to Lines
West of Mississippi.
EmbargOes on Other Ship
ments Now on National Scale.
DECLARES EMERGENCY EXISTS
Order Comes as Surprise to
Rail Officials In Topeka.
Rule Has Already Been Carried
Out, Says w. X. Etter.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Recognizfng
the growing seriousness of the rail-
road situation, the interstate COM
merce commission today declared n
state of emergency to exist on the rail-
roads west of the Mississippi river and
extended its priority order affecting
shipments of all commodities to in
clude the western half of the country
as we'll as the eastern half.
The action of the commission today
brings all the railroads of the country
under the emergency powers of the
commission as regards commodity
shipments. The priorities established
east of the Mississippi river on July
25, giving right of way to food and
coal shipments and authorizing roads
to raise embargoes against other
classes of freight, are thus established
on a national scale.
Roads unable to transport prompt
ly all freight offered. the order said.
may suspend ordinary practices in
providing cars for shippers and rout-
ings. The order will go into effect
September 1. Unless further orders
of the commission are issued estab-
fishing the exact details of priority M
immediate change in the methods OF
handling traffic in the west will re-
suit from the order.
Freight and operating department
officials of the Santa Fe and Rock
Island at Topeka declared today that
the order of the interstate commerce
commission would have little effect
on the Kansas railroads, or on west
ern railroads in general.
I'VE have been giving priority al
ready to foodstuffs and fuel and per-
ishable products, when we thought It
necessary" W. X. Etter, acting gen
eral manager of the Santa Fe eastern
lines, said today. but there has been
little necessity for anything OF the
sort. In the most part, we have been
keeping all our freight moving II
has been slowed down somewhat. but
there have been no blockades or Sc
we're congestions- to contc- with. I
am somewhat surprised at the issuing
of the order"
Only Precaution.
H. G. Merrick, general freight
agent for the Santa Fe, declared that
the order was precaution only. and
that there had been no necessity for
it thus far on the Santa Fe. nor is
any anticipated.
Elmer F. Strain division freight
agent for the Rock Island, stated
that while the Rock Island had been
in some difficulty on the Kansas
Nebraska division on account Of hav-
ing to move a considerable quantity
of company coal from Nebraska, that
the trouble had been smoothed out
and that all classes of freight are
now moving.

OF STRIKE
Coal and Rail Troubles Blamed
for C. & A. Failure.
Indebtedness of Road Is ESti-
mated at $14,OOO,OOO.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Indebtedness of
the Chicago & Alton, which was placed
in hands of receivers yesterday. was
estimated today at $14,0OO,000. No
made now, according to Silas H
Strawn, named by Federal Judge
George A. Carpenter as attorney for
the receivers, William G. Bierd, for
many years president of the road, and
W.. w. Wheeleck, Chicago attorney.
Unable for several years to meet all
the interest on its per cent general
mortgage bonds. the c. & A. fell a
victim of the coal and rail strikes.
Mr.. Strawn said.
The court action followed a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
road in the New York offices of the
U. p, which holds more than $4,000
900 of $10.0OO,000 issue of Chicago
& Alton per cent bonds. As of

per cent of ne Chicago & Alton
stock, and the Chicago, Rock Island

MAKES A RHINE INQUIRY
American Government in Move for
Removal of Troops.
CBy The Associated Press.)

Paris, Aug 31-The American
government, thru a channel quite
apart from the. American embassy in
Paris, has reopened its inquiry as to
the propriety of keeping American
troops on the Rhine.
The present attitude of the French
is said to be one of indifference, while
the German government has expressed
a desire that the American garrison
continues, being likely, the Germans
believe to exercise a calming influ-
ence on the Belgian, French and Brit
ish forces of occupation.
One reason for the American atti-
tude. it is understood, is the fact that
nothing has been paid by Germany for
the maintenance of the army, the bill
for which now amounts to about
$3.50 100000

Sterling. Republican, South Dakota,
renewed his opposition to the whole
bonus proposal in the senate today,
saying he had lost patience with the
ever recurring argument that the

sums in settlement of war contracts
and the. government had not checked
profiteering during the war.
A final vote on the soldiers bonus

tain. All pending amendments had
been disposed of and general debate
begun before recess last night
AS far as leaders were advised only

liver prepared addresses. but, there
was likelihood of another general dis
cussion such as has featured each of
