viii cnac; laws that will make more

States Labor Board In it's effort to
settle strikes. IS the opinion of Rep
rescntative Bascom Slcmp. Ninth
District OF Virginia. Congress will
not take hand in the present coal
and rail strike at this time. is MIR.
Slcmp's opinion. but will leave the
settlement OF tho problem to the
railroad heads.
ON his way hack to shington
from Norfolk, where he spent last
sunday. Representative Sic y
stopped in Richmond for several
hours yesterday and spent much of
the time with Colonel Joseph u.
Brady. clerk OF the United States
District Court. Asked what he
thought OF the strike situation as 1t
affects both coal and the railroads.
Representative Slcmp said:
1T ia impossible 10 predict action
that might be taken by Congress in
strike but ] believe 1t is the sense
eminent should not interfere except
in the case OF urgent necessity.
so far as the bituminous coal
SNIiNt ~ concerned. kHdl Is
getting TO be n thing OF the past
The problem Is almost purely onr
OF transportation. Give the mines
all the cars they want and in thirty
days coal would be a drug on tho.
market. The anthracite situation is
ls,Nl unsettled.
AS TO the railroad strike. be-
lieve the situation rapidly is clear
ing and the diSpo sition will be To
let the railroad Arrangements have
n free hand in working out tho
problem. Every one must realize.
though, that there must be some
remedy for the evils arising from
III" continuous struggles, and.
think. before this Congress comes
20 an end, legislation to make more
effective the decisions OF tho Labor
BOARD VIII be found. This would
appear to be the simplest remedy at
this time"

the fumes Of carbon monoxide, lapses
into Inconsistencies and then dies
Such a death apparently was the lot
Of the Az miners in the Argonaut mine.
They probably detected the odor Of
the deadly gas, worked heroically to
build up barriers against it las their
rude barricade showed became over
come by the gas and dropped in their
tracks, soon to have their lives snuffed
out. AT any rate, that Is the prob
able course of the tragedy deep down
in the bowels Of the earth that the
public n permitted to read about The
narrowing details Of imaginative the
cries regarding the affair are swept
aside by the commonplace theory
above set forth; and there is reason
to believe that the latter theory is
correct because the condition Of the
bodies of the miners did not indicate
struggle such as one might engage in
when trapped and left in full posses
sion Of ones physical powers.
Moreover, it is probable that the
mine experts and those closely ia.
miliar with practical mining knew
from the outset, or at least few days
after the accident, that there was no
hope for the imprisoned men; yet they
maintained the feverish efforts to
reach the place Of the Imprisonment
as if there were hope Of saving the
men. No doubt the so-called rescue
work was carried out with a desire
10 maintain the morale Of mining as
a whole, to demonstrate to the great
body of miners that on similar occa
sions occurring in the future every eff
fort would be bent toward effecting
rescue. There is a great deal of value
in maintaining the morale Of the min
ers in this respect.
