LONG IS, SHOE
SHOP SIGNS Up
A Big Victory; to Hold
Shop Delegate Meet

A signal victory. of far-reaching
was yesterday registered
by the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, now at the height of drive
that bids fair to organize a large
rat of this non-union industry be-
fore the present season is ended.
Yesterday the first firm on Long
Island, the Phillipson Lockwood Shoe
Company, was compelled to give in
to the union representative, and
signed the agreement granting full
union recognition, wage increases
and all other points stipulated in
the union contract.
That this victory was vital one
is evident from the fact that the
largest shoe firms in and Ground
New York City are centered on Long
Island. They have also been among
the most implacable enemies of
unionism. The victory here is ex-
rected to give great momentum to
the organization Of the other Long
Island plants.
Approximately 200 workers are
employed in this plant and wage
increases of from 81 to S8 week
were awarded as a result of the few
days of strike.
Besides this strike, another was
won by the shoe workers.. Late
Wednesday night a settlement was
reached with the Falcos Shoe Com
pany of Brooklyn. Here, too, wage
increases were obtained.
The strike against the Arthur
Hender Co., where about 200 work
ers are fighting for organization, is
being prosecuted with still greater
vigor. This firm broke off negotia-
tions with the union, saying the
workers demanded too much. Just
as other staunch anti-unionists have
collapsed, this firm, too, will think
it over workers are sure. Other
strikes still on are against the Ka-
dos Shoe Co, and the Albee Shoe
Co., a union shop that violated the
pact and was tied up by an imme-
diate strike yesterday.
The union made an announcement
yesterday that shop delegates con-
ference will be held this coming
Monday evening at 8 o'clock, in the
Irving Plaza Hall, 18th St. and r.
wing Place. Full reports of the re-
markable successes made by the
union will be made and plans for in
tensification and a spreading out Of
the drive will be proposed and con
sidered for adoption.

A terrific explosion of gas,
against which no adequate pre-
cautions were taken by the
management shattered tn e
mine at 1920 this morning, a
few minutes before the night men
were to leave the workings and the
day men were to take their places.
The shaft entrance and tipple
were completely smashed, and the
full crew of about $50 men en-
tombed. Approximately 200 found
their way out another entrance dur
ing the day, bringing word that they
saw bodies of miners killed outright
by being hurled headlong into
Jagged rocks by the blast.
Little Hope.
There is little hope of rescuing
any more. The shaft head is roped
off and guarded by armed men,
who do not permit the throngs
made up of the families of the
doomed men from approaching.
Thousands of people are rushing
over country roads to the scene of
the accident-relatiyes and friends
of workers in the mine. Rescue
crews are being summoned from
surrounding mines.
Houses for two miles about the
mine were rocked by the explosion.
Witnesses said column of flames
shot 200 feet in the air from the
mine shaft. 1t was feared that
many of the miners had been
trapped and burned to death.
The force of the blast is believed
to have wrecked much of the tenn
porary and permanent bracing work
in the mine and cave-ins may add
to the difficulties of the rescue
work.
A fan house 200 yards from the
main tipple was blown to bits and
it's framework burned by the flames
which belched from the mine shaft,

on the tipple when the explosion
came.

SAVE INDIANS IN USSR

MOSCOW, U. S. S. f., March 81.
The Soviet government is taking
all possible measures to save from
extinction nomadic tribe Of "Amer-
lean Indians" in Siberia, which has
already dwindled to 403 persons.
The tribe, known as Karages, was
discovered some years ago in the
Turun district Of Siberia. In APP
rearance, language and customs
they resemble so closely the Indians
of North America that leading
Soviet anthropologists are con-
