Aid Of the government in attempting
to unionizc the non-union mines is

there are operators who know this and

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, at
tended the hearing and took luncheon
With Mr.. Lewis. Neither would dis
close what plans FOR cooperation be-

were discussed. Mr. Gompcrs was en-
thus;astic in praising the manner in
which Ny. Lewis entered tho case for

Five of Nine Held in
Washington Theater
Collapse Indicted
Grand Jury Clears Others
of Criminal Liability in
the Death of 90 i'm Dis
aster at Capital Jam. %

WASHINGTON, April 3.--Five Of the
nine men held by the coroner's jury
as responsible for the collapse. January
70. OF the knickerbocker Theater, with
the loss OF ninety eight lives, were in
djcted to-day by the grand jury on a
four men were eXonerated, the grand
jurors determining ehcir connection
with the construction Of the building
not sufficient to make them crinlinally
liable.
Those indicted are Reginald ".
Goare, architect of the theater; John
Howard Ford, of the Union Iron Works,
VINO revised the original plans for the
steel roof structure; Donald Wallace,
general foreman for Franz l.. Wagner,
contractors for construction Of the
theater; Richard G. Fletcher. foreman
for the Hammett Fireproofng Com
pany, which had the sub-contract for
cement and mason work, and Julian
+. bowman, assistant building inspect,
or during the period of the theater's
construction.
The five men are charged with caus-
ing the death OF Mary E. Atkinson, over
whose body the inquest was held, and
the ninety-scven others.
Those relieved OF esponsibility by
the grand jury arc Morris Hacker, FOR
mer building inspector; Frank l.. Wag-
ner, general contractor; John L. Nc
Donald, sub-contractor for the erccti or
OF the steel framing for the roof, and
Thomas L. Costigan, engineer and com
puter for the building inspectors Office
at the time application OF tho permit
to build the theater was made.
The theory of the prosecution, ss out.
lined in tho indictments. is chat the
five men held were engaged in q gigan-
tic task which required that each know
what the other was doing, what it was
his business and duty to do, and were
so related in these duties that they
knew or ought to have known whethe
each performed properly his portion OF
the work, and if it was neglected or
negligcntly performed. With the
knowledge that portions Of the con-
struction, especially the roof, were not
carried out according TO plans and
specifications and that materials not
sufficiently y strong to sustain the weight
Of the roof had been used
United States Attorney Gordon con-
tends that the duty TO notify of the
unsafe character Of the building still
existed on the day Of the disaster, and
because OF the failure of the accuse i
to make known the conditions Of the
building the five are liable cr;minailJ
for the resulting tragedy.

Railroads Begin Retrenchment

Spccae! Dtspotch 10 Tic Tribune
SCRANTON. Pa, April 3.-The sus-
pension in this section had it's first
real test to-day and is reported by
union officials as being still 100 per
cent effective. Though the order went
into effect at midnight on Friday and
the mines were all closed Saturday, it
vas the annual day for celebrating the
Inauguration Of the cight-hour day and
the miners apparently observed it as
d holiday practically the same as they
have in the other twenty-five vearg
since their having been granted the
eight-hour concession.
All mines here are idle and there
have been nc disorders. Owing to the
lack OF non-union labor here, it is not
believed that any attempt will be made
TO operate the collieries until the sus-
pension has ended.
The first indication that the rail
roads are retrenching came to-day,
when announcement was made chat
twenty coal trains had been removed
from the schedule Of the Lackawanna
Railroad here. Ono thousand train
men, that number including engineers

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
W1LKES-BARRE, Pc, April 3.-Signs
OF unrest begin to manifest themselves
in the anthracite strike area. The
causc Of threatened friction is the pol
icy put into force by some of the
larger companies in relieving fremen
and pumpmen from duty and substi-
tuting monthly employees who arc not
members Of the United Mine Workers
of America. Trouble of this sort HAS
cropped out in each Of the three dis
tricts.
There arc about 5000 pump men. en-
gineers and tiremen who are members
OF the miners union, permitted to
work By union decree for the prescrva-
tlon Of company property. Part Of this
number has been laid off ant! the worl;
turned over TO clerks and mine bosses.
AT first the movement was regarded as
local, but it has now been found to
be general, and it is not leaving an3'
good feeling among the strikers
The real test OF the strike organiza-
tion's power came to-day and showed
that it was 100 per cent perfect in the
three districts. Not 4 man in the union
ranks, except those authorized to worl,
under the union decree, reported for
work. Reports from The state constab-
ulary are that the miners remained
close to their homes, no picket lines
being out.
The exodus Of miners from the an
thracite belt continues 10 grow. Large
numbers aye going out or each train

Ship Captain Once Accused Of
Seglect Due Here With

Capt. A. b. Randall OF the United

mis- command temporarily because he
was charged with neglecting to so to
the help OF three men in a laundering
motor boat off Sandy Hook. but was
later exonerated by the Federal steam

ermen ip big blow and comning seas
OF the Grand Banks on New Years
morning. The first announcement of the
sklpper's act was published in wire
to6s paragraph in THE New YoRK HER
AID on Monday.
Additional details came from off the
atlantic yesterday in n radio from the
skipper himself to the United States
Lines office. The six men made up the
crew of the little nshlng schooner Relne
des Mers. which was overwhelmed in
9 100 mile blast while bound from ST.
Pierre. Miauelon TO Bordeaux with
cargo OF fish. Her skipper, Capt. Jean
Lanrise. was swept overheard and lost
and the schooner. which was only 1o5
feet long. mere cockleshell, dropped
snto the trough after her steering gear
had been carried away
Capt. RandaiPs brief dispatch indl-
cafes that the fishermen We're observed
drifting IN an open dory in bad sea
and that the Hudson was forced to
heave to before she could take the casta-
ways aboard Exactly how it was done
may be known when the Hudson gets
here tomorrow. The rad 10 said the six
were In bad condition." which Is in
serpreted TO mean that they were much
exhausted through hunger and probably
were badly frostbitten.
II was said by friends of Capt. Ran
dal after his suspension that in the
mture he might be depended upon to

on the bare chance that there might
