HECHOS.

1.-Que con motive de la Guerra
Mundial pasada, los artfculos de pri
mera necesidad adquirieron tan alto
costo, que clio fue causa de que, por
el Gobierno Insular Sc tomara ell
acuerdo de aumentar los sueIdos a
sus Empleados.
2.-Que al disponerse dicho aumen
to hacia va CUATRO amos que los
altos precios de los artfculos de pri-
mera necesidad, eran soportados por
los Empleados de Puerto Rico
3.-Que el aumento en- ell costo de
Ia vida, habfa producido en- los En-
pleados de Puerto Rico, un estado
'economico tan diffcil, que todos te-
nian un gran deficit en- sus ingresos
representados por grandes deudas.
4.-Que en- estas condolences al re-
cibir el aumento de sueldo concedido-
les, este no resulto verdaderamente
efectivo, pues con el habrfan de subir
Ell deficit de los CUATRO AMOS an
teriores.
5.-Que las causas que motivaron
el aumento de sueldo no han desapa
recido toda vez qae los articulos in
dispensables a la vida tales como; al
quiler de casa, leche, huevos, carne,
layado de ropa, medicinas, alumbra
do y otros no han sufrido alteration
en- sus altos precios.
6.-Que el deficit de los Cuatro
amos anteriores no ha podido cubrir-
Sc con solo dos amos de aumento de
sueldo, como 10 demuestra ell hecho
de que en- virtud de la Ley de Aho-
rro y Prestamo, Empleados del Go
bierno Insular, Sc efectuaron presta-
mos Enpleados en- el corto tempo
de cuatro nneses Y por Ia enorme can
tidad de mas de VEINTE MIL do
lares, notandose que en- cada una de
las Sesiones que celebra la Comisi6n
de Ahorro Y Prestamos tiene que de-
jar sin eonsiderar gran ndmero de
Prestamos, por no existir fondos pa
ra hacerlo.
Que 81 es cierto que la canti-
dad que Sc obtendrfa, de ponerse en-
vigor ell descuento en- los sueldos, re
sultarfa de alguna importancia no es
menos cierto que ninguna obra debe
acometerse en- Puerto Rico con ell di
nero que representa- el malestar, ell
sacrifice Y la n1iseria, de miles de
hogares de- servidores del Gobierno.
8.-Que la efectividad del descuen
to traerfa como consecuencia, que ell

yado de los servicios de los mas eff
cientes Empleados, pues estos ten

Business Men Interested.

The Oxford Chamber of Commerce
held an open meeting at the court
house Tuesday night for the purpose
of sounding the sentiment among
business men of the town with refer
ence to establishing the proposed
overall factory here.
The meeting was largely attended,
almost every line of business being
represented. The proposition seemed
to appeal to the people and it was in
dorsed at the meeting by both the
Chamber of Commerce and business
men of the town who are not memb--
ers of that boe/.
A committee. was appointed, con-
sisting of the best business men of the
town, to raise the required amount of
funds. All other arrangements have
been complied with, and it looks now
that the overall factory may be To-
Gated here,

he had was when the concussion of
the big blast half turned his body
about. Realizing that an explosion
had taken place, this man said he
started to make his way toward the
mouth of the mine. He was joined
by other miners, who also realized
that an explosion had taken place.
This survivor, who escaped un-
scathed, said that after he had pro-
ceeded only short distance he be-
gan to feel the effects of the dread
after-damp, and for a time believed
that he and his companions were
doomed.
About the time, he stated, shouts
of other miners were heard ahead of
them and holding their breath sas
best they could, muffling their faces
in coats and clothing, the little band
of men struggled onward, finally win
ming their way to fresh air and thus
gaining the entry way. These men
were among the first to reach the out
side with actual news of the terrible
scenes inside the mine.
They told of passing over bodies in
the main entry, and OF seeing other
miners, badly injured and moaning
for help or as the fatal after-damp
snuffed their lives.
A. ID. Jones, miner who was work
ing in the forty-ninth west entry of
the mine at the time of the blast,
proved hero. When the explosion
occurred, the concussion almost blew
him down. Realizing that a serious
accident had taken place, Jones
gathered five white miners and Is
negroes who were working near him
and started to lead this party toward
the mouth of the mine.
After proceeding some distance to-
ward what they regarded as life and
safety, Jones said that he began to
notice after-damp in dangerous guam
titles. Saying nothing. however, he
onward. Soon the after
damp became SO dense that he felt
the journey to the outside was i'm
possible. He turned to the little
band of men:
"Boys, it's all up with u.s." he told
them. There's nothing to it but

Men Prepare to Die.

Together the band began to make
preparations to die. Gathering about
Jones, they sat down, budding to-
gether to await death.
Suddenly they heard a mans voice
in the distance asking if there were
any men still alive within range of
the voice. Several of the men yelled
at once.
"Pull down your bratices!" yelled
the voice, "it's all right here, and if
you cam break through, we will all
win out"
Jones led his. men in the work and
soon the little band was safely out
side of the mine, having passed
through the manway to mine number
2, and thus reaching safety.
About 30 men saved their lives by
blocking passageway into the mine
"trip" and thereby shutting off eff
fectually the poisonous gases and af-
ter-damp until the fans were started
again and cleared the way for them
to reach the outside alive.

Flames Reach Mine Mouth.

According to company officials the
explosion occurred simultaneously
with the crash of three skip" cars
which ran wild" down the slope to
the mine yards" approximately L.
100 feet from the entrance. These
cars, breaking cable, while they were
being hauled up the slope to the en-
trance, crashed downward, severing
an electric circuit. This caused
spark and as the cars crashed into
the yards" which were trackage in
the interior Of the mine, where loaded
coal cars were assembled before be-
ing hauled to the surface, the explo-
sion occurred. So great was the blast
that the flames belched upward all
the way to the mine entrance, ap-
proximately 1,1OO feet, and then con-
tinued on 200 feet farther to the mine
tipple, setting this afire.
Approximately SO men were work
ing on the yards" at the time and all
Of these men were either killed or in
jured.
At late hour tonight the main en-
trance to mine No. was cleared and
rescue workers were using this en-
trance to enter the mine and continue
their work.
Miers Of the Woodward Company
boasted Of the crack rescue corps Of
the Alabama field, having won this
honor in a competitive drill recently.

now appears that about 70 were killed
and 60 more or less injured.
"Air currents have been established
in the mine and all parts can be en-
tered. The mine itself is not seriously
damaged by the explosion.
"The explosion was possibly caused
by cars breaking loose and running
down the stope, when electric sparks
exploded the dust picked up by the
speeding cars.
Practically all Of the injured are
now out and are being given every at
tention. While the loss of life is ter
rible we sre indeed grateful that more
of the large number Of workmen on
duty did not suffer-"
