Thirteen men in the west drift, which goes down about 1,500 feet, were badly shaken and some were gassed. but all were brought to the surface. None was seriously hurt.
 Two bodies were recovered al most immediately but the gas flow soon drove rescuers to the use of masks.

DEMOCRATS SILENT
 ON SALARY SLASH
Make No Protest Against Gut in
 Board Clerks Pay
THREAT FALLS LIKE DUD
Council Holds Up Contract for Piper Brook Culyert - Investigation of "Mortgaged Street. to Be Made Claims for Storm Damage.

Despite repeated promises to fight Mayor QuigIey's attempt to reduce the salary of Clerk Helen R. Keogh of the fire board from $500 to $500, democratic members of the common council uttered not a single word of protest at the council meeting last night and the administration move was ratified.
 Drawn partly it is believed, by the published reports of intention by the minority to battle Mayor Quigley on the measure, more than 100 spec tators were on hand All seats and standing room had been taken be- fore the salary committee report was reached and read Alderman Joseph Mlynarski, chairman of the committee, moved for adoption of the report which recommended con- tinuance of the $500 salary and AL derman David L. Nair amended to make the amount $500. With the stage set for the promised fight, all eyes turned in the direction of the minority where Councilmen Samuel Sablotsky and William w. Greene, opponents Of the feasurS in com- mittee who had promised to carry their campaign to the council floor, were sitting. After calling for re- marks but sensing the fact that no one intended to speak. the mayor put the question to the house and the lower salary was approved. That many of the spectators were on hand only to witness the expected fight on the salary cut was clearly shown when. after the vote was taken, nearly one-half of those present left ! the assembly hall.
 Two Vetoes Approved
 1 Two vetoes by Mayor Quigley were | approved by the council on motion
 of Alderman Nair. The first had to 1 do with appointment of a commit l tee to work out plan for eliminat- ing interest payments on sewer main bonds, and the second called for a committee to work with the city plan commission on a program to cut pocket streets through.
 Later in the evening a resolution was passed authorizing the mayor to appoint a committee of seven citi- | zens as an advisory board to the water commission, this committee to take the place of any others which may be in existence. A sec ond resolution called for a report from the city plan commission on the condition of pocket streets and l the possibility of their elimination.
 North Street Subway
 A petition was received from the Citizens Property Owners associa- tion asking that a subway be placed in North street before the highway 1 is paved. Councilman Lucian Ma clora moved to refer to the board of public works and commented on the advisability of doing the entire job at one time, but the mayor in formed him that no funds are avail able for subway work. The coun- cilman insisted, however, that funds can be found if an honest effort Is made to get them.
 On motion of Councilman Frank L. Conlon, a request of the Com- merCial Co. to reconsider the re- gently established fire limits, was
