RAILROADS ill LI
INCREASE FORCES
Must Have at Least $250,000
for Repairs to Handle
Growing Trade.
AMERICANS FIRST CHOICE
Iixodus or Italians Will Give I'ncm
. loetl Natives Chanee Employ
ment Agents Already Gather
ing Their Forces in Chicago.
CHICAGO. March 30. (Special.) In the
unit 60 days the railroads of the United
States will have to find between 250.000
and 300.000 men to mend their tracks and
roadbert and another larpe army to go
Into their shops and repair their cars and
their locomotives.
The railroads centering in Chicago alone
will, between April 1 and June 1, require
more than 100.000 laborers, who will be
employed in remedying the ravages of
the "Winter months, which, with their
frosts and their snows, have made many
miles of shaky track and as many more
of softened roadbed. The managements
of all Chicago roads have decided to en
gage in repair and renewal work this.
Spring and early Summer on as extensive
a scale as ever, owing to the fact that
labor will be plentiful and possibly cheap
er, and also owing to the fact that there
are signs of business renewal everywhere.
Gathering Forces for "Work.
The past Winter has not been as hard
m the season usually is on roadbed and
track, and physical conditions are not as
bad as usual for the further reason that
the traffic has not been so heavy. No re
newal work, however, is being done tills
Winter, and after the frost comes out of
the ground in the Spring there is bound to
be settling of the roadbed, sagging of
bridges and a score of things which go
to prevent efficiency of operation.
For several weeks the railroads center
ing In Chicago have been making arrange
ments to procure the needed laborers.
All of tho labor agents in the city and
along the lines of the various roads have
commissions which they are expected to
fill periodically in the succeeding two
month.
Work will start light on April 1 on the
roads which are best favored by climatic
conditions, and will be increased rapidly
until June 1, when renewal and repair
work will be in full swing on every rail
road in the country. The average number
of men needed hy each of the large Chi
cago systems Is 5000 and the wages offered
are to "be about the same as last' year,
when labor was scarcer and moro men
were needed.
Roads Prefer Americans.
This year the railroads expect to be
ablo to procure a very much greater pro
portion of American labor, owing to the
fact that times have not been so good and
many men are out of employment. Tt
Is also expected that there will not be so
many Italians available tills year, be
cause when the business recession came
tho Italians returned to their native land
In shiploads.
In the employment of labor the rail
roads seek to proem e Americans when
they can get them at the price which is
afTercd for labor. An a rule, however,
tho railroads are Rlad to get men
wherever it is possible, tho only stipula
tion with the labor-employing agencies
being that the men shall be competent
to do the work for which they are employed.
TEST COMMODITY CLAUSE
President Urges Immediate Action
on Xew Kail road Law.
WASHINGTON', March 30. The Govern
ment will not prosecute railroads for fail
ure to comply with the "commodity
clause" of the railroad rate law, pending
a decision of the Supreme Court. The
President has directed the Department of
Justice to bring a test case as soon as
vnsHible after May 1, the day when it
becomes effective, the law forbidding any
rsilroiid to transport any article or com
modity other than timber produced by
Mich road, or in which it is directly or
indirectly Interested.

If not. will he explain why he will
be more unjust to the Filipinos than to the
people of his own country? .
Chance of Democratic Victory.
What chance of reform is there at the
hands of the Republican leaders who take
the side of the corporations again t the
people and act on. the theory that Induce
ments must be held out to caDital. no mat
ter how great the burdens Imposed upon
inm proaucers or wealth?
There in no doubt that the mases of the
people. Republicans and Democrats, are in
favor of reform. If we can only convince
tne voters that the Democratic party will
be true to reform, victory is assured, and
the only way in which we oan convince the
purine that we honeftly desire to admin
ister the Government in behalf of the peo
ple Is to give them an honest platform,
employ honest arguments and conduct s
campaign by honest methods and through
an nontst organization.
Mr. Harmon was greeted, with tremen
dous applause when he arose to speak,
liar mo ii on the Panic.
Mr. Harmon, after attributing the
three successive Democratic defeats to
the skill of the Republicans in fooling;
the people, said:
1 always thought it mean and unpatriotic
to make political capital out of a public
misfortune. And I believe every Democrat
In the country feels as I do, that He would
rather stand by another defeat than see the
poor multiplying on the streets, cars stand
ing ldje on sidetracks, mills and factories
closed or feebly going, commerce paralyzed
and the old and dependent pinched In the
provisions which industry or affection mad
for them. But if all this had to come, a
new has. I believe every fair man will sa
as I do, that it is the justice of God .who
hates all slanderers and false boasters, that
it struck those, while in ,'ull strut.
They say it was the Boer War that
brought on the trou-ble, the Japan War, i
earthquake everything you please but
themselves. It Is enough for us that it
certainly was not the Democrats. And
when they say it was themselves, thev con
fess they have been humbugging the people
all these years and slandering the Demo
crats.

Hanna Mine Not to Be Opened
Till Thursday.
COMPANY'S LIST IS 62
Number of Dead Positively Known,
Though, Is 59, With Five Bodies
Recovered Wreckage Being
Cleared Rapidly Aw ay.
HANNA, Wye, March 30. Not until
Thursday at least will the full extent
of the disaster resulting in two ex
plosions in mine No. 1 of the Union
Pacifie Coal Company, be known, for
an official order went forth tonight
directing that no attempt be made to
reopen the mine until that day. During
the continuance of this order the esti
mate of dead must stand at 59.
In the meantime the east stope of the
mine, through which entrance will be
attempted when ready, is being cleared
of wreckige and practically recon
structed by men working in half-hour
shifts. . They are protected by a power
ful air fan which not only guarantees
them from the effects of insidious
gases, but will drive out the gas which
fills the portion of the mine where the
victims of Saturday's explosions are
lying dead. It is expected the mine can
be cleared of deadly gas by Thursday
and the work of rescue begun.
Bodies Expected to Be Mangled.
Today an arm of one of the victims of
the disaster was found about 20 feet
from the mouth of the 'east stope en
tranceway and it is feared that the dis
membered and mangled condition of the
bodies when located will be such as to
make identification and the securing of
a list impossible.
Superintendent Clark, general superin
tendent of the Pacific Coal Company, ar
rived tonight from Omaha and assumed
charge of the affairs of the camp. He
was accompanied by a force of claim
adjusters and clerks. If competent gas
men, bosses and other experts can be
secured, mines Nos. 2 and 3 will be
opened Tuesday, it is announced. '
Coroner Bennett has viewed the three
bodies recovered before the second ex
plosion and the two blown out by the
second explosion. He will begin an in
quest when it Is known whether or not
the remaining bodies can be recovered
and will attempt to get at the cause of
the explosion. Men who came from the
mine a few minutes before the first ex
plosion say there was much gas present.
The second explosion undoubtedly was
also caused by gas. .
Official List Numbers 63.
The condition 'of the bodies recovered
precludes the possibility that any of the
men in the mines survived the second ex
plosion. An official list of the known victims of
the disaster given out today by the Union
Pacific Coal Company contains 62 names,
and it is believed eight or ten others also
met death in the mine.
A carload of coffins shipped from Den
ver arrived this afternoon. Many suits
for damages will be brought at once
against the coal company by relatives of
the victims. It is announced now that
this mine will be abandoned and sealed as
soon as the bodies are recovered.
There Is a rumor of appealing to the
Governor to appoint a committee to probe
the disaster, and if the rumors afloat as
to the unsafe condition- of the colliery are
verified, efforts will be made to close it
through process of law.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 80. A. G.
Wells, general manager of the Santa Fe
Railroad, who is here with other officials
on an inspection, said today: r
The Santa .be is contemplating no im
mediate new work; on the contrary, we

a favorable time for railroad extension.
The westbound freight traffic of the
Santa Fe has shown a falling off of 50
per cent during the last year.
"Our passenger business to California,
on the other hand, has been the heaviest

of the interest the East is taking in this
state."

to its members advising them that an
arrangement has been made whereby
San Francisco Is to have a first-class

Central Pennsylvania and Indiana
block district, no conditions have been
made, nor have the miners entered into
district agreements providing for the
operation pending the April 1 agree
ment. Technically the miners will not .go
out on strike, but in reality they stop
work because the operators, except .in

day about the general situation, said:
"On, April 1, 42,000 miners in all Ohio
will drop their tools and go out on strike.
This may last 60 days and perhaps long
er. At any rate they will not go back to
work until a wage schedule has been
drawn up. On the same date 35,000 miners
in the Southwestern, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Arkansas and Texas districts will go out.
Western Pennsylvania miners, having
failed to come to an agreement with the
operators regarding a separate wage con
ference, will also cease work on that
date.
