American Business,

strike, following relatively soon
after agreement in the steel in
dustry, removes another impor-
tant obstacle to industrial re-
covery in the United States, but
other wage adjustments appear
certain. United Mine Workers
are seeking more money and
railroad employees are negotiat-
ing for a pay raise. In Wash
ington, there is a little more
open talk about price changes
to meet higher operating costs
and union officials are talking
less about payroll increases not
requiring higher prices. Even
if a number of wage adjust
ments still lie ahead, business
may take some consolation IN
the fact that the direct rela-
tons between wages and prices
is getting more recognition in
official circles. The ultimate adj.
vantage of wage increases to
the worker is difficult to esti-
mate because general increases
bring about higher prices of the
materials he purchases. To
those unfortunate enough to
have been idle during prolonged
strikes the advantage is very
slim, if it exists at all.

utter blackness crept through his
brain.
Again he moved to the shaft
landing. feeling his way. Again he
pounded on the tube. The ventilat-
ing fan was dead now. The air was
stuffy. And water, lying only one
level below, would soon be rising
toward him.
1t was a nasty spot for young
man who did not want to die. Some
how, and fast, he had to get out.

ELLIOTT reached through the dark
ness, grasped the voice tube for pur-
chase and swung himself up onto the
first timber. 1t was almost the width
of railroad tie, and the next one
was four feet above it. Breasting
himself, he pulled up again. Not too
bad. he thought. That's eight feet.
Only 2O8 to 60. Almost half the
height of the Washington Monument.
Three and four. Five and six.
He was doing something, anyway.
He wasn't standing down there IN
an agony of wondering. His spirits
rose little, but his muscles tagged.
When he stopped counting. he must
have been about halfway up. He
knew it had taken him long time,
many hours. He had to stop. He
was trembling now, and little sick.
For the first time there came
the thought that the cage might
come down. They'd send it as soon
as the trouble on the surface was
over. He was lying on a timber OF
the guiding framework, directly IN
its path, and it would crush him in
an instant. His sudden terror was
overwhelming. For once in his lie
he felt that all the odds were against
him. But somehow his desperation

timber. barely clear Of the cage path.
That could be done, but what else?
Paralyzed by fatigue, he clung to
the framework and, in total resigna-
ton, prayed to God. please don't
let me give up, don't let me die"
He held on, and in a little while
he steadied. Cautiously, he poked
his head out and listened for the
cage. Then he swung out and up to
the next timber That was it. To
stand, and listen, and swing. To
fight off funk. To pray again.
SUDDENLY there was whoosh,
blast of air, and the cage slid down
past him. Breathless with shock, he
pressed against the upright. Then
his eyes strained downward in the
black shaft. Thin. faraway voices
were calling him: Elliott, Elliott.

His weak reply caught in his
throat They would never hear him.
Once more he raped on the voice
tube. knowing it would mean moth
ing to them. They would never guess
he was in the shaft.
There was another rush of air. He
ducked back, and the cdge roared
up again. Maybe it would stay above
now. till the rescue party gave up
searching for him and summoned it
back. That would give him little
time. To 60 up or go down? He must
be somewhere near the top. One was
as hard as another He swung out,
hoisted, got to his feet, slipped.
Madly he reached for the voice
tube, pulled himself in. His muscles
were aflame with pain. And the
darkness seemed to be growing
darker. "I'm passing out" he
thought. Its over" Something be-
tween a sob and a laugh came out
of him. He threw up his arms in
surrender. knowing he was to fall,
hoping family that he would be out
before ne hit.
A THIN streak of light crossed his
vision, and his hand struck some
thing above him. Jared back to
consciousness, he grabbed, caught
and hugged the upright. He reached

cage was raised. Hands reached
down for him, and he was being
pulled up, carried across the floor,
through the engine house. He caught

he smelled fresh air and he was on

Escape

Certain death lurked in
the mine but could he
survive the climb to life!
THAvE often wondered why people
who thirst for high adventure
seek strange corners of the earth
when there is always the Pennsyl-
vania coal country. Here's what hap
pened to friend of mine there.
Bob Elliott was studying mining
engineering and working for one of
the anthracite coal companies during
his summer vacation, as many engI-
neering students do. One June when
he reported for job he was made
pump runner in mine temporarily
shut down.
He knew pumps A man on that
Job had to. 1t was his job to keep
them running, or the water would
move in. Mines were lost that way.
Coal towns became ghost towns.
Miners died from hredamp, the
odorless, colorless gas. Preventing
that meant standing watch long
hours at time, 2l6 feet under
ground. Young Elliott was game.
Three times day he came to the
surface for quick meal and chat
with engineer Ford. the boiler room
fireman and the other maintenance
men. For the rest, it was lonely
business.
OFTEN Elliott went out to the shaft
landing to talk through the long
voice tube to Ford in the engine
house above But mostly he listened
to - and for - the puff, puff, puff
of the ventilating- fan exhaust. He
kept translating that to, "All's well,
all's we'll, all's we'll"
This time, after a brief confab
over the voice tube. Elliott strolled
back toward the pump room. "Alrs
we'll, all's we'll, all -. " Then
silence.
He started running. At the pump,
he twirled the throttle. No steam
pressure He hurried out to the shaft
landing and shouted up the tube.
Ford did not answer. He rang for
the cage. Nothing happened. Why
wasn't Ford at his post? Elliott
grabbed a rock and hammered on
the tube. No answer.
Elliott began to sweat The flame
of his lamps flickered into small
blue puffs. AS they went out,
thick, impenetrable darkness en-
veloped him.
He knew what that meant. Fire
damp had smothered the fame. 1t
