Thirty-Two Boys
Join Band When
Meeting Is Held

The Palatka's Boys Band came in
to existence last night when Director
G. VI. Shearouse, jr., accepted thirty
two reservations at the band room Of
boys fully ecuig9la with instruments
and othe@ Lana paraphernalia, and
registered applications of twen-four
other boys who said they would Sc
cure their equipment at the earliest
possible moment, giving every indi-
cation that in the near future a band
of over so pieces may be expected to
appear on our streets.
1t was announced by the Director
that the response was very gratifying
coming as it did to a previous an
nouncement that Immediately follow
ing the close Of the school term, when
rehearsals would not interfere with
study work, he had in contemplation
the formation of this Junior Band. 1t
is said by those encouraging the Di-
rector, that the hearty response of
the parents is credited largely to the
remarkable progress made by he High
School Orchestra under Director
Shearouse's leadership.
Membership in the junior organiza-
ton is not restricted, it is pointed out,
to residents of Palatka alone, appli-
caions having been read last night
frcm parents in the surrounding
towns where it is climed there is con-
siderable interest in having boys re-
ceive musical education.
A complete list Of the boys taken
into the organization last night is be-
ing prepared, and it is hoped in the
next few days to publish least 50
names of those who will come under
the discipline and training of the Ju-
inior organization.

Wage Reduction
OBy Associated PressI

to railway employees affected by

The vote will be taken by individ-
ual unions whose 100000 members

Paralysis of the nations railroads

result of the reductions which have
already slashed $11O,00O,000 from
the wages of the workers. The wage
cut is effective July 1.
Meanwhile the board is preparing
to hear disputes this month between
shop crafts employees and some of
the railroads over alleged unauthor-
lied wage reductions and piece work.
B. M. Jewell, head of the railway
employees department of the Amer
lean Federatio nof Labor, who is
leading the fight against the boards
orders, was informed that the first
of the hearings will be held tomor-
row. Twenty-one railroads are cited
for alleged unauthorized wage re-
ductions for the hearing.

Former Butte Digger May be Hero;
Loose Rock In Tunnel Gives
Hope to Workers

Jackson, Gala new effort has been
started for the rescue Of the Al men
entombed in the Argonaut mine here
since last Sunday night.
While work was continued at the diff
ficult task of reopening a way from
the 3,6OO-foot level of the adjacent
Kennedy mine into the 4,200-foot level
Of the Argonaut workings, other crews
set to work to break through a wall Of
rock and dirt from the Kennedy's
3,9OO-foOt level, which would admit OF
entrance into the Argonaut shaft at a
depth Of 1850 feet.
Mining Experts directing the rescue
work would not estimate the length of
time required to reopen either of the
tunnels, but the belief was prevalent
that neither crew could hope to reach
the imprisoned miners In less than 4S
hours.
Practically the only hope lies in find
ing the men in air pockets in the lower
levels formed by bulkheading the en-
frances to drifts to prevent gas fumes
from the burning mine from reaching
them. If the men had the strength and
presence of mind to bulkhead the mine
they could live for several days, and
yet be found alive.
Ernest Miller. one of the entOmbed
miners, accomplished a similar feat in
Butte, Mont, some years ago, when he
saved himself and % companions from
death through sheer courage and pres
once of mind. In the Butte disaster.
Miller counseled with his comrades and
they bravely set to work walling them
in, thinking the cracks with mud

conclude that the country IS entering

what is probably meant is that some
