 Yesterdays disaster is the worst in the history of mining in the Lake Superior district. There was scant warning of the impending fall of rock. mud and quicksand and only few of the miners are thought to have known that death was seconds away. The collapse was over an area 300 feet long and 200 feet wide and from tho surface revealed an inden- tation 50 feet deep in the swamp land.
 Aside from the single shaft open ing at the surface, there was but one other avenue of escape for the trap ped men. That was through raise from the sixth level of the Norris Lloyd mine at North Lake. One Sole Survivor. Wilfred Wilt, 23. is the sole sur vivor of the 53 men below the sur face at the time of the crash. still shaken by the ordeal, he told his story to q weeping audience of mothers, wives and children gather ed at the shaft last night.
 T was working on the second level when the cave-in started,' he said. Just little farther in from the shaft were Tom Kirby, Jr., Joe Yankee and John Santi.
 First there was a low rumbling and q blast Of air. I called to the other boys to run and I took the lead. l heard them start to follow but rock was beginning to fall down the shaft as l reached and started 10 climb the ladder. It was 500 feet 10 the surface, and they tell me l was up less than ten minutes after the men on the surface first heard the rumblng.
 Mud and water were right at my heels all the way up. When l reached the surface my boots were coated with it."
 Rccntcrcd Pit. Cageman Andrew Malvazie and Ed Hallman and Albert Tippett were on the cage, ascending when the cave-in occurred.
 According 10 their story they were only a few feet from the surface when they. heard the rumbling and felt the rush of air up the shaft. Reaching the top, they signalled to be lowered again and had gone down | only about 50 feet when they were met by blast which lifted the cage i upward.
 1 It was this blast, in the opinion of i Wills, which hurled his companions | from the ladder and back into the debris which closed upon them.

TRADE UNIONISM
Is PRACTICABLE Has Secured Much
and Will Gain More

The trade union movement "is not
a laboratory where you may expert
ment with different theories and
plans" said William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, in addressing strikers in New
York.
Trade unionism," he said, "is a
practical movement which holds fast
to what it has secured and is going
on to gain more and greater objec-
tives."
In referring to the tendency of the
younger element to often be impat-
lent, President Green said he appre-
ciated this impatience, but youth has
not experienced the conditions under
which older trade unionists had
worked.
In pleading for harmony between
workers, he said nothing pleased the
enemies of labor better than to see
"the family of labor torn by dissen-
sion and hate"

Advantages of
Organization to
the Labor World
Both Numerical and Financial
Strength Are Essential
to Success

Members of organized labor are be-
ginning to realize their opportunities,
and to take advantage of them in the
business world. Unfortunately, there
are still many who can not, or will
not go below the surface. All that
these members can see are direct, i'm
mediate results. They feel the need
of the union only when they are in
trouble, and want help to secure some
thing which, like child, they see and
want. High wages are desirable, rea-
sonable working hours are important,
too, but these are by no means all
that your union gives you. Wages
may be high in comparison to what
they were or to those prevailing in
some sections of the country, but if
it costs all you make to live, then you
are not so we'll off, after all. 1t is
the relative value of the dollar that
counts in so far as real wages are
concerned. We may force wages, un-
naturally, to such a level that we
would receive twice our present wage
and still be no better off, because we
would, perhaps, have to pay them all
out in order to live. These would not
be real wages.
Taking any industry as a unit of
the great industries of the continent,
we can continue to receive real wages
by building up our organization, in
creasing its membership and finan-
cial strength. This strength is es-
sential and we can never afford to
lose sight of this fact. Nothing will
take the place of the organization
and numerical and financial strength
are necessary for the continuous
growth and preservation of the or
ganziation. No other activities can,
or are intended to, take the place of
organized strength.
But the main reason for the con-
tinued existence of an institution is
its service to society. The extent to
which we may progress above the or
dinary depends upon the character
and Importance of the service we
render

BIZ RICHARD HATTON

It is true, beyond question, that
ehe American people are saving mors
money today than ever before. Saw
5ngs deposits in our banks, with con-
gtartly increasing figures, are war
rant for the assertion. In large
measure this increasing interest in
the savings account may be traced
Directly to the banks themselves and
to the greater latitude and the great
Er specialization of their publicity.

rany. Mr. Siddons' observations
were made before meeting of bank
officials concerned with advertising
and publicity and he brought out
clearly the fact that there is still
room fors improvement in savings
advertising and that the public is
still susceptible to constructive saw
ing education. Mr.. Siddons said in
part:
Just because we have taught
some to begin to save and caused
some to save over long period does
not mean we have really hit upon
the ideal savings plan. All of Us
agree nat consistency in advertising
pays. but how many will admit that
the only way to cause our customers
and the public to constantly save is
to follow the old principle that We,
must educate our people in simple
and concise way to learn the art OF
saving.
''It is To truer today than it was
some years ago that the very simple
direct message on savings, to my
mind, is the greatest appeal. do
not mean that we should return IL
cur old methods, but we should not
forget that while we have reached
q stage in our Development Of saw
ings advertising, @e have not en-
tireiy succeeded in educating our
