Sunday the Mayor told the

details, were thrust before him by the
special citizens committee which was
organized week ago.
The Mayor Yields.

Weiss Gives Orders.
The committee read the mayor a
report prepared by several residents
of Hull House which reviewed the at
titude of the police toward the strike.
The report specifically charges that
the police have abused strikers and

provocation. 1t also tells Of how Ar

he had ordered the police not to hoid

CASTLE GATE, Utah, Mar


CASTLE GATE, Utah, Mar.
1O.-Headless and charred
bodies of the victims who were
caught in the terrible disaster
at Utah Fuel Company's Mine
No. Two, last Saturday are to-
day being taken to the surface.
Thirty-one bodies, eighteen
of them identified, have so far
been removed from the CALLER
les. Mine experts say there is
positively no chance that any
body could be alive in the
sitting, gas-fiIled chamber.
The single street of the little
mining town is crowded daily
with the relatives and friends,
widows and orphans of the entombed
miners.
Pathetic Scenes.
Pathetic scenes were witnessed as
frantic women driven insane by sor-
row attempted to 60 down into the
deadly pit to join their husbands in
death.
One young woman with a baby
in her arms roamed about all day
crying 81 want to 60 to him." Her
husband had laid down his life as a
sacrifice to the capitalist greed for
gold.
Considerable coal baron propagan-
da is being broadcasted telling of the
precautionary measures taken to pre-
serve the lives of the miners. There
is an investigation on, but the miners
fear it will whitewash the coal bar
ons.
Twenty other bodies were sighted
in tunnel still inaccessible as work
ers bored into the mass Of debris
choking the passageways.
Fire and deadly gases hampered
the relief efforts yesterday, but the
flames finally were extinguished last
night and rescue squads equipped
with gas helmets made their way
into the tunnels.
1t was believed that the levels
where the main body Of the en-
tombed men were at work might be
reached today.
Gas Fumes Deadly.
One rescue worker died from in
haling deadly gas fumes last night.
As soon as the blaze is extin-
guished, officials believe they will be
able to reach the position where the
miners were working at the time they
were trapped by a series of blasts.
Of the seven bodies recovered near
the entrance to the mine, five have
been identified. All were married
men with families. Two other bodies
were so badly mutilated that they
could not be identified.
Crowds packing the canyon roads
leading to the mine, are orderly
= Deputies held the spectators and
members of families of men caught
in the death trap, a mile from the
mine entrance.
