IR DEAD, OTHERS NTONGED N MNE Scranton Cave-In May Have ¢ Bigger Death List—Some Buildings Damaged. By the Associated Press. SCRANTON, Pa., January 13.—Four men are known to have been killed, sev- eral others are believed to be dead, and an unknown number of mineworkers are entombed as the result of a cave-in in the National mine of the Glen Alden Coal Company, in Minooka, just across the southern boundary line of the city. Miners who escaped said the number of men believed to be behind the bar- rier is about twenty. There was no confirmation of a report that nearly fifty men were caught. The company has given out no information. Several hundred men left the work- Ings without injury when the cave-in occurred. The disturbance was 200 feet be- neath the surface. Every effort is being made to reach the men be- lieved to be behind the barrier. en the surface in some sections of the area over the mine showed signs of subsidence, every precaution was taken to protect life. Pupils in a large school were dismissed and the Simpson silk mill was closed for the day. Some damage was done to bulldings scattered throughout the affected area. Surface subsidence in Scranton has been going on for years and repeated efforts have been made through leg- islation to control mining to prevent such occurrences. A state mine cave law, now in effect, is in the state supreme court for interpretation of some of its provisions. JAPANESE APPROVE PACIFIC PROPOSAL Maintenance of Status Quo in Fortifications Declared Not Objested To. By the Associated Press. It was said authoritatively today that the Japanese navy has no objec- tion to the latest proposal in regard to the maintenance of the status quo in fortifications in the Pacific ocean, but as the new suggestion embodies a distinct change from the original idea the Japanese people and government are bound to consider it from a pe- litical standpoint, and hence the delay in announcing Japan's attitude. In Japanese circles it was asserted that the statement made December 15 concerning Pacific fortifications re- ferred to the regions of the Pacific as the zone of status quo, but that the new proposal narrows the zone of limitation to & smaller area— namely, a zone bounded by the equator on the south, the 30th de- gree of latitude on the north and; the 180th meridian of longitude on the east. In other words, the propo- sition fixes a definite area in the northern Pacific ocean, instead of making it generally apply to the en- tire Pacific regions. This is described as an entirely new proposal requiring careful considera. tion by the Japanese cabinet, and perhaps also by the diplomatic ad- visory council. Japanese reiterated today that they saw no objection whatsoever to main- taining the status quo in the Bonin and Oshima islands, more especially as under the new proposition the for- tifications on the American Island of Guam, which have always proved a gource of uneasiness to the Japanesc, e among those which- are not to be creased. 3 — ‘UNIONS GAIN IN GROWTH. | Ho. 249 Increases 40 Per Cent in H Month.

SALESMEN, LECTURER CAMBRIDGE, Mass., January 13. ‘BOOTLEGGERS MODEL TELLS HARVARD BOYS By the Associated Press. ~—Bootleggers were up as mod- els in salesmanship before students of the graduate school of buainess administration at Harvard today. Willlam Maxwell, first vice pres- in ident of Thomas A. Edison, Inc. a lecture before the class in Sal management said that personal ol servation’ of the sales methods of wholesale bootleggers -had con- vinced him that in many cases they had developed a creditable sales technique. “It is noteworthy.” he added, “that salesmen engaged in illegiti- mate pursuits, such as baotleggers, confidence men and the men who seil worthless securities. are for the most part closer students of salesmanship than the salesmen who are engaged in selling meri- torious ~articles. Whatever the reason may be, the fact remains that the ‘grafter’ will ordinarily plan his approach and the subse- quent steps of a sale much more carefully than ‘the average legiti- mate salesman considers neces- sary. FREIGHT RATE CUTS ALARM RAILROADS Universal Demand for Fur- ther Reductions Viewed With Apprehension. demand for further re- ductions in freight rates presents a situation which railroads must view with apprehension, President H. E. Byram of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad testified today at the Interstate Commerce Commission’s in- vestigation into the existing level of transportation charges. All efforts to reduce expenses and increase effi- clency have been inadequate to main- tain railroad earnings during the past vear, he declared, and the railroad plants cannot be maintained intact unless earnings and traflic alike in- crease. Hopex in Wage Reductions. The only suggestion, Mr. Byram said, which appeared to offer measur- able opportunities to increase the earnings of railroads lay in further wage reductions, and “federal control of wages.” which, he said, was in ef- fect through the Railroad Labor Board, and prevented adjustment of wages to suit economic conditions. “Federal control of wageés,” said Mr. Byram, “while doubtless stabiliz- ing in its influence on strikes and lockouts. has established inflexible rates of pay that during the past vear have been greatly out of line with current rates paid in other neighber- ing industries, and these bigh wages, coupled with the inflexible rules gov- erning the method of performing de- tails of work, particularly in shops and roundhouses, greatly and unnec- essarily increased the cost of railroad operation. Cause of Decrease. As labor constitutes the greater part of operating expenses, this factor has been tle principal cause of the decrease in net income of the railroads, and un- til the conditions are changed, it will have the effect of interfering greatly with the possibility of increasing net income by greater efficiency and econ- omy in management. As an evidence of this, we estimate that our railroad, if permitted to pay the going rates in out- side indust-ies, would have saved in the last vear about $7,250.000 in its me- chanical department and $1,750,000 for track labor alone ip the maintenance of way department. v Methods of Economising. . Mf. Byram described in detail meth- jods of economizing which he had en- forced on the St. Paul lines, and which, he said, had resulted in the aggregate had been rendered inadequate by the continued fall in traffic. He added that “there comes a time when. no matter how low the revenues, it is not possible to make further reductions railroad expemses without serious in- terruption of maintenance and incon- venience to the public and threatening impairment of safety. Statements in opposition to rafl- road rate reductions were completed by two railroad presidents at the In terstate Commerce Commission's in- vestigation inte the reasonability of transportation rates. Daniel Wil lard, of the Baltimore and Ohio, dur- ing a long exchange with Commis- sioner Esoh, insisted that lower costs of railroad operation could not be attained by abolition of passes for railrcad employes, private cars for their relative portance was little. C. E. Felton of the Chicago, Great Western, however, in answer to questions from Commissioner Lewis, said that “railroads cannot be effi- cient in the employment of labor un- til the Railroad Labor board, which controls them under the transporta- tion act, allows them "to establish rates of pay which.correspond to the wages paid workers of similar oc- cupations in the communities which the railroads serve. —_— OFFER BUILDING HINTS. |D. c.
