{ OAl STRIKE

THE PROPOSED FARLEY AP-
PEARS TO BE AN IMPOSSIBLE
ITY.

Washington, March 15.-Govern-
day as being without hope that the
threatened coal strike can be avert
ed or that the proposed conference
between the operators and miners
would be arranged. 1t was indicat-
ed that the government intervention
at least in the preliminaries of the
situation was practically at an end
holding that a strike call April l is
almost inevitable, government Off
cials, according to view presented
today on high authority, now are
chiefly interested in seeing that a
sufficient supply of coal is maintain
ed for the country as whole.
The situation with respect TO coal
supply, it was stated, is not acute.
There now is at the surface of coal
mines and in stock at consuming Gen.
ters, 1t was declared, enough coal to
last the country for 10 weeks with
the prospects, it was added, that this
supply will be augmented by produc-

Intervention in this strike situation, .
a high officials said today, must be
determined by the extent of the pub
lie inconvenience and suffering which
is caused by the strike"
1t was intimated that the govern
ment did not propose to enter upon
any attempt to force a conference.
Secretary of Labor Davis has
gone as far as he intends to go in
that direction, it was said, by re-
peatedly and publicly pointing out
that the government considers the
mine operators of the central compe-
titive field to be bound by provisions
of the existing national wage con-
tract to enter negotiations for max
ing substitute national contract
ready to apply by April /, when the
old one expires.

MAN KILLED

Chicago, March 15.-Fire early

entire block near Chicago's loop

seized at his home by police and
rushed to the fire marshalls head
quarters. He was closely question
ed. Flames destroyed the ten story
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
building and six other office build
ings. Twenty structures were parti-
ally destroyed.

Boiling Water
Fatal To Girl

Willow Lakes, March 1.-THE in
FAINT daughter, Amy Lois, of Jacob
Bahm here, died less than AS hours
after she accidentally fell into tub
of scalding water containing lye.
The child's mother, was preparing
to scrub the floor of her kitchen and
had prepared tub nearly three
quarters full of boiling hot water, in
which she had placed liberal guam
tity of lye. The mother after pre-
pairing the water, left the room for
a short time and during her absence
the little daughter was heard to
scream and she was found vainly at
tempting to climb out of the water
The burns sustained from the hot
water, aggravated by the acid like ac-
ton of the lye almost completely
covered her body. She suffered in
tense pain until she died although
physicians made every possible eff.
fort to alleviate the injuries.

MINER CRUSHED
BY BIG WEIGHT
BLACK HILLS WORKER INSTANT
LY KILLED-ANOTHE Sc
VERELY INJURED.

Deadwood, March 15-John Brak-
Ike, jr., was instantly killed and Vic
tor Wiki was severely injured when
heavy weight in the Ellison mine
shaft near here fell upon them yes
terjal. Brakke's death, it is believ-
ed, was instantaneous. An exam
ination of Viiki's injuries at the hos
pital showed that one arm was brok-
en- and that there were numerous
bruises. Both men were employed
in the mine.
From what can belearhed of the
accident it appears that the shackle,
holding to the wire rope the counter
weight of the dinky hoist, which OPP
crates from the 400 foot level to
the 2150 foot level of the Ellison
shaft, broke, allowing the heavy
weight to drop. Brake, who was
working on the landing of the 2150,
was struck by the neavy weight,
which killed him instantly
After striking the bulkhead of the
level it passed on through and into
the sump, where Wiki and others
were at work, striking Wiki glanc-
ing blow and breaking his arm, as
well as inflieting other injuries on
him. He was taken to the hospital
about noon after receiving first aid
treatment at the shaft, where he is
now resting as comfortable as the
nature of his injuries will permit.
His escape from death and those
working in the shaft with him was
close.
In falling the weight struck Brak-
Ike on the back of the head, crushing
h isskull and almost tearing off his
right arm. 1t passed completely
through the heavy bulkhead timbers
which separates the sump from the
landing at the 2150, which stopped
it's force, so when it struck Wiki its
power to do injury had been greatly
lessened, breaking Fiiki's left arm
Just above the wrist.
John Brake was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Brake of Spearfish,
young man about 26 years of age,
who had been employed by the COM
pany for several years.

STILL WATCHING
MISSOURI RIVER
PERSONS LIVING ON LOW LANDS
ARE FEARFUL THERE WILL
BE FLOODS THIS SPRING.

Yankton, March -Watchful
waiting is the policy at the Meridian
Highway bridge site here at the
present time, and it will be contin-
ued until the ice is gone from the
Missouri river. All material has
been brought to place of safety on
high ground, and there will be a
minimum of loss unless the river
equals its record of 40 years ago,
which is hardly considered as pos
sibility. The pontoon bridge, which
has been in service here all winter
on the ice, has been removed and
traffic is at standstill, except for
the foot passengers who cross upon
the ice.
There has been no great weaken
ing of the ice here as yet under the
influence of the warm weather, and
a rise of only couple of inches has
been noted. 1t will take a substan-
tial rise to start the heavy ice NOV

danger of gorging The ice here
ranges in thickness from 10 to 80
inches.
Farmers living in the bottom
lands east of this city are still max
ing preparations for possible inun-
dation. In some cases platforms are
being erected upon which stock and
material will be placed in case of
high water.
Efforts of the Yankton Chamber
of Commerce to secure assistance Of
the war department in breaking up
any possible gorges, by furnishing
airplanes and bombs, met with the
response that no funds were avail
able for that purpose, and that the
department had tried out the plan
on gorges in the Delaware river two
years ago and found it both ineffec-
tual and costly. The local post of
the American Legion, however, has
received assurances from Senator
Thomas Sterling that he will con-
tinue his efforts to secure some pos
sible assistance from the aerial sec
tion of the war department.
