The explosion, which occurred at night.

at Work Those Who Walked Out Would Be

This Is Regarded as Dead Loss as There Is No
Way for Them to Regain When They Return.

CURED in the latter part of 1919. when
approximately 100000 miners went on
strike. They remained out six weeks
the present strike of coal miners is
about to enter it's sixteenth week
and brought the total number of men
on strike throughout the country up to
about 100000. There were no other
major strikes in progress at that time.
Miners To Regain Losses
In the case of the miners, it is
pointed out the loss in daily wages is
not a permanent loss altogether. Many
thousand of mine workers are paid
on q piece work basis and will make up
their strike losses by producing more
coal at steady employment when min
ing is resumed. 1t is possible for
some of the miners TO earn as much
during 1922 as they did in 1921, should
work be resumed at once
Loss of wages in the textile and
shipments strike, however. is regarded
as pretty nearly total and incapable of
recovery later. Such also is the stu
alton of 10000 to $4,000 anthracite
mine employees, work in the anthra-
cite industry being fairly stabilized.

New York, July 16.-Thereis not so
much difference btween New York and
Petrograd except that in Petrograd
they have fewer motor cars n fewer
laws.
AS if it were o enough to try to
keep track of the price of gasoline,
of the carburetors and of the queer
looking man who is waiting to steal the
robe, one must now possess ones self
of a traffic warning card. If there is
any other little thing which the police
can think up to make life highly desir-
able. now is the time to spring 1t.
From now on. the New York motor
list is frantically searching for a yellow
card-do not mutilate: keep in a clean
conditions the printed warning
which every driver of horse or car
must have by August 1.
The cards have just been issued.
They are to bear the inscription, and
like a passport and on them the cop
writes things every time you infringe
on a traffic rule. Altogether, the new
traffic warning card is just another one
of those little things which make the
Gothamite look forward with less re-
~luctance to the great beyond.

WATERS THROAT CUT

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 30.-Rogelio
Perez and Guilermo Kustoro, both
prisoners in the city jail here,
will have their preliminary hear
ings tomorrow on charges growing
out of the murder of J. B. Jones,
negro prisoner, whom Perez
stabbed to death in Jail this after
noon. Gustoro is charged with be-
ing an accessory.
Jones, who was trusty and
was waiting on the table, had Of
fered Perez bread which the Span
lard did not like and, as the negro
turned away. Perez slashed his
throat with dirk, severing the
jugular vein. Jones died few
minutes later.
The dirk, which was later found
where Perez had hidden it in the
Kitchen, was made from an ordi
nary case knife which had been
sharpcncd into dagger. The han
die was wound with leather and
cord.
Jones had only few weeks to
serve on two-year sentence for
robbery. Perez and Gustoro were
recently sentenced to four years
for housebreaking.

miles of the Clatsop beaches on the

The following year John Fastabend
tried again. He built second raft,
built it Of the same size as the i'll
fated first one, with length of 500
feet and draft of Is feet and a con-
tent of about half-million feet of
piling. But the second one he built
better than the first. He built it so
much better that, when went to sea
behind steamship, it held together
until it reached a point off the coast
of California; then it, too, went to
pieces.
Two years later the raft-builder
tried again. This time he succeeded.
His raft of fir piling went down the
coast intact, arrived in San Francisco
in excellent condition and brought its
owners so good price and saved so
much in transportation charges that
it almost paid for the loss of it's two
predecessors.
