AII shut oH.

The compressor and fan houses, the
latter supplying fresh air for the tun-
mel was completely destroyed at a
loss estimated between $4,000 and
$4,000.
The working crew of the Cardinal
tunnel. which is a gold and silver
mine, is composed of sixty men, &C
cording to information received from
Nederland. Whether all of these men
were in the mine at the time Of the
fire could not be learned.
William Bryant, a miner who was at
the mouth of the tunnel when the
blaze started was badly burned.
SO far as can be learned there has
been no explosion in the TUNED and
officials are holding out hope that the
men possibly are still alive.

BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY

"NIAJoR" GEORGE L. BERRY has
Vl announced his candidacy for the
presidency of the International Print
ing Pressmens and Assistants Union
to succeed himself. No doubt he VIII.
The only novel feature of the election
is that Berry after treating the union
for several years as his own person
al property should go to the trouble of
seeking endorsements from the mem
bership. Having already secured the
sanction of the employing printers
there is no reason why the "Majah"
should waste good ink singing his own
praises in the columns OF his own
journal which is considerably sub
sidized by scab ads.
TIME hide of a rhinoceros is del
i icate compared to the intellectual
skin of .'Majah" Berry. But nothing
is impossible and readers OF The
DAILY WORKER, particularly in Mr.
Berry's personal union, will be inter
ested to learn that the series of art
icles that appeared in this paper some
time ago, in the nature of an auto
biography of Mr. Berry, got on the

Communist Party.
The joker in the proceedings is that
the charge against Marks is preferred
by bitter enemies Of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America.
The guiding rule of the Sigman ma
chine in such cases seems to be that
if one is a bad Communist he should
not be taken into the union, but that
If one is a good Communist one
should be kicked out Marks will be
seated after the machine speakers
have vented their spite on the Com
munists. Antonini led the attack on
the Communists.

Snow Storms Just the Same

1--WE do not have the big SHOWS that
we did when ] was Il boy, and / do
not think we will ever have them
again."
The fact that such remarks as this
are often made, prompted G. j. Root
of the Weather Bureau at Springfield,
ILL.,. to make inquiry as TO whether
we really are having less snowfall
than formerly.
Mr.. Root, in his conclusions. dis
proves the theory thai the good old
snowstormS were any bigger than
those today, nor does he think that IN
the future snowfall will be less heavy
than in the past. Here are some
proofs on which he bases the state
ment:
Although the snowfall in SPRING
field has been somewhat light during
recent winters. the greatest snowfall
on record, as inches. occurred in the
winter of 1914. The winter totals
of snowfall averaged for periods of
10 years from 1884 are eos, 1876, PIG,
and 20.3 inches.
In New England the snowfall was
unusually heavy in the winter of
1929. At Portland, the January
record was SO inches. ard the total
for the entire winter exceeded 10 feet.
With a record extending back from
1873, the heaviest snow at New Haven
occurred in the winter of 1876, and
