Report Of British Coal COmmis, sion Met With Opposition

London.

The commission was appointed some time ago 10 ar- range a plan to put the coal indus try on a sound basis and eliminate disputes between miners and mine owners.
 The report recommended state ownership Of mines, but develop. ment under private enterprise super ylsed by the government. The rec ommendation Of the miners federa- ton for nationallzaticn. in which the country was most vitally interested, was acted upon adversely, The re- port, which was drawn up by Sir Herbert Samuel, Sir William Bey- craze, General Sir Herbert Law renee and Kenneth Lee. all promin- ent In British industrial life, was unanimous
New Britain herald., 1926-03-11

Neither the mine owners or the miners have as yet made an official declaration Of opinion, but the com, ments by industrials and the news, papers make clear that the report will do anything but harmonte the conflicting interests. Labor leaders who have expressed opinions on the reports roundly denounced 1t.
 Vernon Hartshorn, member of parliament and president of the south Wales miners federation. said the report made the b!aekness of the situation more intense and that Il settlement on the basis of it's pro posals was impossible. He vas de termined, ho added, 10 do everything 10 prevent even is discussion, either with the mine owners or the govern ment,
 Frank Hodges, secretary of the in' ternational miners federation, d. clared the coal industry would col lapse May l if a recommendation h} inc commission 10 withdraw tho subsidy the government is paying the miners and mine owners ia adopted.

The way to prosperity lay i'll three chief lines-greater applica- lion of science 10 mining and the use of coal, larger units for produc- ton and distribution and fuller partnership between employees and employers.

Butler of the marine corps, Colonel Alexander Williams, until recently commander Of the lo- cal marine base, is maintaining strict silence to newspaper reporters.
 And so are all other officers in- terestcd in the case. The large navy colony in and about San Diego, however. Is doing lot of talking about the case, although not for publication, either. For tho incl dent arising from q dinner party given in General Buffers honor by Colonel Williams, who relinquished q his command to General Butler on tho latter's arrival here from his rour of duty as head of Philadel- phia's police has caused keen Inter est.
 The filing of charges hy General Butter followed the dinner party at Colonel Williams home in Corona do, last Saturday night, at which General Butler was guest of honor, It is said that cocktails were served at the dinner and that General But Ter commented on the fact. 4 mum ber of marine corps officers and their wives attended the dinner,
 The charges. however, were said (o have been based upon hotel party later at which the dinner guests were invited.
 Several aftidavits. some declaring Colonel Williams vas intoxicated and others that he was not, accom-. panied the generals charges. Reg ulltionG are said 10 require the affi- davit Of navy physician in case of drunkenness. No such affidavit

Two Escape.
Two men. Edward Travis and Lewis

Of the blast, but escaped unhurt.
Late Saturday a picked rescue team
made a final dash in the mine. Inc
men were equipped with oxygen tanks
and did not desist until the bodies had
been reached.
One by one the bodies were carried
from the south entry TO the Shalt.
They were then wrapped in canvas
and pulled to the surface, where
temporary morgue, in charge Oh the
Allegheny County coroner ana seNerdl
deputies, had been established. Later
the bodies were taken In ambulances

NAL Identification was made by reia-
tiyes and friends. In almost every
case identification was made by means
of personal effects. The bodies were
badly decomposed.
The men were trapped in HornlnS
mine on the afternoon of Wednesday,
February 3, just after the day force
of between 700 and 500 miners had
left the workings. Those entomoed
had remained behind to fight a small
fire and were being directed by Cen
eral Supt. Ernst and Supt. Travis.
Other mine officials had been in the
workings a short time previous.
Immediately following the blast ex-
pert rescue workers from the P1tts-
burgh station Of the United States
Bureau of Mines, as we'll as rescue
teams from nearby mines. rushed to
the scene. Work was hindered for
several days because the fire had
spread, and finally fire walls were
erected to smother the blaze. The
presence Of a large quantity Of gas
also delayed the work. and extra pre-
cautions were taken to prevent
another explosion.
Confusion as to tho exact number
of men in the mine had existed ever
since the explosion. The number was
definitely set at 20 after a careful
check OF the bodies and the mine pay
roll.
