PACIFIC FRUIT GIVEN PRIORITY by mil Interstate Commerce Commis sion Grants Request of Western Fruit Growers Senator. McNary influential in Securing. Ruling. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Rail roads west of the Mississippi river authorized today by the inter-state commerce commission to give prefer ence and priority to the movement of foodstuffs livestock, perishable pro duct and fuei whenever their oper ating conditions become such rb to eatrae freight congestion or blockade. The order declared an emergency and laid ydown ruteis for the conduct of the western lines identical with those which have been, in effect on railroads east of the Mississippi for several weeks. Koads unable to transport promptly nil freight offered the order said, may suspend ordinary practices in providing cars for ship pers and routings, The order will go into effect September 1 and wili re main in effect until further orders. When the original emergency orders of the commission were issued eariy this month the priority and preference instructions did not affect tlte west, although provision was' made to niiow railroads to disregard routing directions of shippers and to move freight in the most direct line. Unless further orders of the com mission are issued establishing the exact details of priority, no imme diate change in the methods of handl ing traffic in the west will result from the order. However, in case any rail road by reason of the existing shop men's strike or other factors, be comes congested or blockaded, ,it will have power to declare embargoes against the receipt of shipments and to lay general freight aside in order (Continued on pag eifiht) BOMBED BY 1RAT off.

The dawn of the fourth day o the battle of lio and death at the Argonaut mine, where 47 milters are entomb ed, found rescue crews siiii fighting desperately against seemingly insur mountable odds. Meanwhile hope of bringing the men out aitve is slowly fading. Yesterday it was believed that the hour of delivery through a new cut being driven from the 3S00 foot level of the Kennedy mine into the iower levels ot the Argonaut was near. Re ports were spread that the burrowing miners in the rescue parly were within one hundred feet of the Ar gonaut shaft. Today these reports are officially discredited. It is an nounced that 530 feet of rock and earth still separate the rescue par ty la the 3800 foot level of the Ken nedy from the Argonaut shaft. ' Crews are still feverishly digging in this level, attenvnt!jJg"to reach the Argonaut workings, but their efforts are hindered by pressure against the side waiis of the sew drift, necessi tating timbering. After this distance has been bor ed. It wilt be necessary to make a raise of 50.3? feet to connect with the Argonaut workings. This means a longer wait before the rescued men can begin searching the lower lev els and drifts o the Argonaut for the entombed miners. Three Routes for Escape JACKSON,- Cal Aug, 31 Three routes of escape from the pitch black, smoke-choked undermine drifts to the sunlight and open are possible to 47 miners imprisoned since midnight Sun day in the lower levels of the Argonaut mine. Two "are through passages which workers are endeavoring to cut from the Kennedy, an adjoining mine. The third is through the shaft o the Argonaut itBeif. A second rescue corps, on a level 30u feet i;eow the group that has worked since Monday to reach the entombed men, today had made per ceptible progress. It will be a long siege through 600 to 800 feet ot loose dirt before a 149 foot waii of solid slate is reached. This second corps, starting at six o'clock las nlgbt is working from the 3900 foot level of the Kennedy mine, burrowing toward the 4400 foot level of the Argonaut, Three hundred feet above them toil and sweat the half-naked men who have drilled la brief shifts since 'Mon day to cut through more than 700 test of loose dirt and timbers and thirty feet of hard rock. They struck a cave rn last night, slowing their progress. They .estimated there wduid be be tween 90 and 100 feet more of rock and dirt to be cleared. Fire in Shaft Out The fire in the mine shaft Is out. This was the announcement las night of experts working in. the Argonaut shaft itself. The heat In the shaft, they Baid, was bo intense that flames may break out again at any time. It will be five days before an entrance may be made through the flame charred section above the 3000 foot level- to reach the men on the levels below, Hescue workers descending the shaft this morning got as far as the 2400 foot level fa ore skips and went 100 feet further on ladders. They found the smoke greatly diminished. The water pipes at the side of the shaft were stiii too hot to touch. Tempera ture at the 2500 foot mark was ten de grees hotter than sixty feet above, but there was little gas. The second attempt to reach the Argonaut lower ievelsfrom the Ken nedy was Use result of. a meeting of rescue expswls from mines of the Mother Lode and from the state and federaLmine rescue departments. This body last night took charge of rescue work. Hone that tfie miners are stilt alive wag Btiil firmly held by the consulting experts. They are acting on the belief that if the men have lived through; more (ban eighty hours of entombment!

He is charged with the murder of C. K. McDowell, sttnerinteiKtent of the iester striss mine, where the mas sacre occurred. The indictment of Ciark, it was learned, resulted from alleged boasts attributed to him shortly after the massacre when some believed there would ha no investigation that he participated in the killing of McDowell. Shortly after Clark surrendered, Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois mine workers, with several other nnioii officials, left town, refus ing to make public their destination or purpose. "We still lioiie ta make bond for Ciark," Farrington stated.
