Petition of Chicago
For Eastern Time
Is Denied by L.C.C.
Michigan Granted Right
to MOUe Clocks
Hour Ahead.
Fy the Associated Press.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today denied a petition of the
city of Chicago to be included in the
Eastern time zone, but granted. in
part, a similar petition by the State
of Michigan.
The city of Chicago had asked to
be shifted from the Central to the
Eastern zone several months ago, and
a similar application was filed later
by the State Of Michigan.
Under the standard time act of
1918, the I. C. c. has authority to des-
ignate the boundaries of various time
zones. Cites and States may fix local
standards Of time, but this generally
Is not observed by railroads.
In its report the commission said
that the enormous population Of
Chicago" and the importance Of its
commerce have extended the effect Of
its local time ordinances into nearby
communities.
The I. c. c. decision would not
bring the entire State of Michigan
into the Eastern time zone. but would
place the lower peninsula in that
category. A time change for this sec
ton Of the State, the commission said,
would serve the convenience Of COM
merce."
Michigan originally requested East
ern standard time in 1882, but the
petition was denied.

MINE RESCUERS
MOVE LAST DEBRIS
Break Through Into Tunnel
Where Four Men Are
Entombed.
By tt,i Associated Press.


MOBERLY, Mo-, August 21.-A res
cue crew broke through" the few re-
naming feet of debris which holds
four entombed miners near here at
noon today. Whether they had
reached the imprisoned men or
whether the latter were alive was not
Immediately learned.
Arnold Grifhth, State mine inspec-
tor, said it would be necessary to
force fresh air into the channel before
allowing the rescue crews to enter It.
He estimated this would require an
other hour.
Griffith designated six men to make
the trip into the tunnel.
Battling intense heat and the dam
ger of new cave-ins, the weary rescue
crews had hacked cautiously at the
debris which has imprisoned the men
in the depths of the Sexton coal mine
for "a hours.
Frank Bunch, deputy State mine
inspector and relatives still main
tanned a glimmering hope the four
men, entombed Tuesday afternoon,
would be found alive.
Workers this morning redoubled ef-
forts to make an opening into the two
drifts leading off from the 110-foot
main shaft. Their last obstacles were
the mine lift, which plunged to the
bottom when the tipple was destroyed
by fire, and heavy charred timbers
which were wedged tightly about it.
Outbreak of Gas Feared.
The rescue crews of four men in
a shift expected at almost any instant
to be met by flow of aspyhxiating
gases. Their sole avenue Of escape
would be to tumble into the bucket
and give the signal to be hoisted.
From a three-quarter level Griffith
directed the rescue attempt. With
the crew at the bottom was Vic
Crigler giving the signals to Charles
Hartig at the surface.
eff they had good air I believe they
still can be found alive" Bunch said.
"It is possible for men to live "a
to SO hours after becoming uncon-
scious. I believe they will be found
near the main shaft. Their natural
reaction would be to 60 In the direc-

LII So1EN - AAGNn4s
Promise of showdown fight be-
tween a special Senate committee and
private detective agency developed
today as six officials Of the Railway
Audit & Inspection Co. failed to an
swer subpoenas to appear before the
civil liberty violations in labor rela.
tions.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin, chairman of the commit
tee, then warned counsel for the abb
sent officials that they were acting
'at their own peril"
However, Leonard Weinberg, attor-
ney for the audit company, pointed
out that a restraining order had been
obtained from Justice James M.
Proctor in District Court enjoining
the six officials of the company from
appearing as witnesses.
The injunction, weinberg informed
the committee, was granted here this
morning and would prevent the off,
cials from testifying for period Of at
least five days.
Order of Court.
Records at District Court, however,
showed no restraining order had been
issued. The defendants merely were
ordered to show cause Tuesday why
restraining order or temporary injunc.
tion should not be issued at that time.
Counsel, however. expressed the belief
that the committee, having received
notice that the suit had been filed,
would not press their demands for the
books and records as mark of respect
to the court.
Subpoenas Issued.
From committee representatives 1t
was learned that about SO subpoenas
have been issued as the committee
pressed its inquiry into industrial ac-
tivities of the audit company and the
Burns and Pinkerton detective agen-
cies.
1t was said that the latter two con-
Germs have made most of their records
available to committee agents, but that
the audit company has refused all such
information.

individuals to appear. the committee

Among the letters pieced together
was one from w. w. Groves, president
of the company, to its Atlanta repre-

Charles w. Hall, president of the
Hall-Aluminum Aircraft Corp, Of
Bristol, Pa. took of from Bristol at
7:30 o'clock this morning to confer
here with Coast Guard aviation head
quarters on plans for construction Of
new Coast Guard flying boats, accord
ing to a report received here.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock, the time Of
Halls appointment, Coast Guard Of
ficiak received a report from Halls
son, at Bristol, saying that reports
had been received there that the elder
Hall had crashed and asking that the
Coast Guard assist in locating the
plane. Coast Guard aviators at Cape
May, N. j., were asked to make q
search between Bristol and Washing
ton.
Halls company built the big Navy
XP-2H1 patrol flying boat which early
in 1885 made q nonstop flight from
Norfolk, Va, to Coco Solo, Canal Zone.
This boat, started five years ago, was
remodeled q number Of times and was
not finally delivered as completed un-
til about 18 months ago. This is be-
lieved to have been the last Govern
ment contract on which Halls COM
pany worked. It was as q result OF
this job that Hall was invited to dis
cuss with Coast Guard officials the
plans for proposed new aircraft for
the coastal patrol work Of the Coast
Guard.
Hall, according to Bureau of Air
Commerce records, started flying In
1912 as a student of Ruth Law and
took flying boat instruction In 1914
from David Mccullough. For some
reason he apparently did not con-
tinue flying and had no pilots license
prior to August, 1880, when he quail
ned for Department of Commerce
private license.
At the time Of the last renewal of
this license, this year, he reported q
total Of 675 hours Of flying time. His
record shows three previous acci-
dents, none Of which resulted in DER.
sonal injuries to himself or passen-
gers. One Of these accidents, in 1882,
occurred In Washington. Halls De-
partment Of Commerce record shows
he was born in New York City in
1874 and took an engineering course
at Cornell University. graduating In
1895.
