BY GEO. PAPcUN.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

ters at Bellaire gave out a statement

first effort to break the miners union
in Eastern Ohio is planned by the coal
operators at the Lucy mine five miles

The office of the company refused

Rumors are to the effect that private
guards are already guarding the coal
company. No confirmation of this was
given the company neither did they
deny the report.
The Valley Camp Co. tried to sign
an agreement, but the miners refused
unless the company would sign up the
three mines at Elm Grove, w. Va,
which the company is trying to run
on the 1917 scale.

BLAMES TUNNEL
DISASTER DEAD
City Committee Seeks to
Aid Company
BY JOHN MIHELIc.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 22.-The
investigation of the Kansas City Wa
terworks tunnel disaster, which took
the lives of eight workmen, that is
being conducted by special commit
tee appointed by Judge H. F, Nc
Elroy. city manager shows plainly
that not only was the Smith Brothers,
Inc, the firm doing the job, at fault
but they are now brazenly seeking to
place the blame on the eight dead
men who lost their lives.
Place Blame on Dead Men.
BY placing the blame on the dead
men, the company seeks to escape
prosecution for criminal neglect and
avoid paying any money to the wives
and orphans left destitute.
Byron Taylor, gang foreman and
father of three children, who lost his
life, is being singled out for special
blame.
On being questioned by Mr.. Muir
ray, director of public works, Charles
S. Foreman, general superintendent,
said that he thought the dead men
were at fault as after the fan was
repaired, they should have waited
long enough before going into the
tunnel, for the air to clear. He said
that he did not know who ordered
them in, but it was his opinion it was
Taylor.
Nothing is said about the slave
driving methods that always are used
on foremen by companies of this
kind. Further investigation brought
out the fact that the gas had given
trouble before. This was the third
explosion and the air line was made
quate.
Mr. Murray then asked the follow
ing question which created quite a
sensation:
Ask Sensational Question.
you say that there were three ex-
plosions. One at 400 feet One at
1000 feet. And the last one at $500
feet. Isn't it true that you have found
the gas problem more difficult the far
ther the tunnel got under the river?''
DdF newspaper MCHs
Before answering, Mr.. Foreman ask
ed that newspaper men be excluded
from the room. He said, "The way
things have turned out the publica-
tion of this testimony may furnish
lawyers with material for few suits. .
Newspaper men were then excluded.
When the meeting ended, Mr.. Muir
ray refused to give out Foreman's an

Barbara fell behind slightly, eyes
fixed on the coattails. They drifted
with the crowd through an arched
doorway into the long drawing room.

women wound down the room, to
the great black piano, beside which
stood Lydia Stacy, smiling. She
wore a sheath gown of black span

cleaned against it,
