 AT MINI CAVE.IN
lronHood Still Hopes to Rescue
 4S WOrMS Alive

lronweod, Mick. Sept. 27 LF The sight of disressed women and children drove gunt eyed men to super effort todd in their attempt to reach 43 men entombed by a caye-ln three daS ago in the shaft of the PabSt mine of the Oliver Iron Mining company iere.
 Bodies of three men crushed to death when tons of boulders and earth crumpled th. cage in the shaft have been recovered.
 Three separate shafts, each hav- ing as an objective the eighth level of the mine, 500 tet under ground, where 1t is believed the 43 men were entrapped, and damond drill, are the means by whiol the rescue work CTS hope to learn Gle fate of the im- prisoned men.
 At least one is ,xpected to attain it's objective by tomorrow night, al though obstacles encountered by digging through tie earth and rock prevents any accurate predetermina- ton of progress to be made
 Most closely watched is the dia- mond drill, which must bore 400 feet more before t can reach the eighth level, Communication can be established through this, if it is as- certained the men are alive. Food tablets badly needed, if the men are alive, can be lowered to them through the small drilled hole.
 Prepared to give first aid are physicians and United States Bureau of Mines relief car Officials of the mining company have equip ped relief corps to care for the men if they are found alive.
 The other efforts at Succor are moving with all the speed which large crews of workers can make. Two are in the IS degree angle shaft billed with debris, which chokes the entry to the eighth level.
 One effort is being made from the top with carriers removing the debris blocking the way. Another is from the bottom of the shaft, reached through lower levels after descent by another shaft.
 It is believed the dirt and rock lodged in the shaft. but extending only part of the way down, can be dislodged and an opening obtained to the trap.
 The other attempt is by lateral tunnel being dug from an adjoining mine a quarter of a mile away.
 Sufficient air and seepage water is thought to be in the level to keep the men alive until they can be rescued.
 Particular faith is held -irt Tom Treworth, a shift boss, who H m- prisoned with the men. He h - ] in the service of the company 39 years and has thorough kno edge of the mine.

DIAGNOSING CASE OF NEW ENGLAND

Not a city in New England mas offered bonuses, free taxes, or any other financial inducemsnt in attempts to secure industries from other localities.
 In the West and South Chambers of Commerce use these lures and ba,ts regularly. and sometimes gain industries in that fashion. .
 If Is to the credit of New Eng land that nothing Of the sort takes place in this tier of states. The system is not only unwise, but Is not fair to the public.
 Sooner or later the communities in tho West and South which give suoh Advantages" to industries, will ind out what New England discovered long ago. Some of them have already discovered the error and do not deal in bonuses and free ta1es."
 So far New England has the best of the argument But the New England Council, which was ap- pointed by the governors Of the New England stAtss and which has made its fr.t report, mentioned a point that needs reform.
 The council reported that replies from New England Chambers of Commerce, received In reply to ouestionnairss sent out, lacked en- thusiaxm, were deficient in detail, and wers tho quintessence Of rou- tine communications. of the yours of the 18th inst. received and In reply would rtate" type.
 Tho replies from the South and West were dripping with enthusi- asm, full Of facts, and had all the earmarks of community salesman ship.
 If that is how the New England Chambers of Commerce do business it Is no wonder that there Is little to be enthusiastic about. They gave the impression to the New England Council that they are sat i,fled to let well enough-or poor enough - alone and merely gc through the motions of existence.
 The New England Council is ex- pected to show up the bad points as well as the good points of New England. One of our bad points k the lassitude that comes with age the conservatism of smugness, ol at least, that was the prevailing attitude until the New England Council began It's investigation.
