STRIKING SHOPMEN
BACK TO THEIR JOBS
ON MANY RAILROADS
Continued from page l

Roads announcing they had solved
their shop problems through employ
ment of new men and former strikers
previously taken back and organized
into new shop unions included the Chi
cago and Alton; the Illinois Central;
Chicago and Great Western; North-
ern Pacific and Union Pacific.
Bert NJ. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts organization and the shipments
representative in framing the peace
terms. FASTENED to New York yester-
day when the plan struck the snags
of eastern opposition, notably on the
New York Central Lines, which form
ed one of the big systems including
among those expected to accept the
settlement plan.
The situation on the New York
Central lines was caused. it was ex-
planned, by demands made by strik-
ers in addition to the original peace
terms Similar demands prevented
settlements on the Southern Railway.
Mr.. JEWELS mission was understood
to be for the purpose of strengthening
out matters with these roads.
Precautions were taken at the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and St. Paul, and
Northwestern shops TO prevent a re-
currence of Saturdays disorders
which grew out of demands by return
ing strikers that former shop foremen
he restored to bosses jobs instead of
being compelled TO so back among the
ordinary workers.
Railroads which refused TO enter the
Baltimore agreement insisted today
that they are daily increasing the
number of new employees and that con-
ditions are steadily improving.
Hearing on the Daugherty injunc-
ton was resumed In Judge Wilker-
| sons court today. with only four days
remaining before the expiration of the

GOLD MINERS TOMB
PIERCED AT LAST
BY RESCUERS' DRILL
Continued from page l

Before the drills twisted through the
asst rock barrier there had been little
but disappointment and monotony In
the wait above ground. SO many times
had the wives. parents and children
OF the imprisoned miners heard that
"A ut-thrOugh was expected and failed.
that most OF them were at home In
bed when IL actually was achieved
this morning.
Arrangements had been made that
the Red Cross should carry any i'm
portant tidings TO them.
The changing OF the shift at | a. m.
was the only colorful event of the
night. The lines of men awaiting the
skips presented n picture of determin-
alton. None OF the miners spoke, ex-
cept in low tones. Two priests stood
silent by the shaft mouth. awaiting
any call that might take them hun

perate efforts so far beneath them;
several scores of newspapermen and
women worked in what is TO all in

their presence seeming to drive home
to the miners that this was the day
whereon the fate of their comrades
would be fixed.
Every possible thing that can be
done for the aid of the entombed men
should they be alive, has been done
Doctors, nurses. all the paraphernalia
and appliances ot a hospital await

have been made 10 care for theii

feared 70 use explosives because of tht
possibility that flying splinters of rocl
might injure some of the trapped mel
there. or that detonation would dam
age timbering and cause a cave-iI
. which would delay them hours, days
or even weeks.

and muscle against the elements, an,
