- FALK N FAVOR - OF RAILROADIN Believes That Sablofsky's Idea Is Not Warranted Criticism of some of the council- | men in thelr efforts to abolish what | they term “railroading” in the coun- | cil was voiced by Alderman Walter R. Falk of the second ward this | morning. According to Mr. ment started by Councilman Samuel Sablotsky to revise the rules of the | common council would result in nothing but added “red tape” in the workings of the body. He declared | that if the meeting of the special committee appolnted by the mayor to look into the advisability of changing the rules were held as scheduled last Monday, he would , immediately motion for an adjourn- ment for he belicved that there was no need of such a change. The | meeting was not held, however, be- | cause Councilman Samuel Sablotsky was not present. He promised he would go through with this plan if the meeting is again called. The committee was ap- | pointed by Mayor Gardner C. Weld | after a motion to that effect was | passed at the council. Councilman | ablotsky, Boyle and several demo- cratic members of the body argued that a law was passed in 1907 dur- | ing the administration of ex-Mayor George M. Landers with the pro- vision that all resolutions from com- missions be in the hands of the councll in printed form two days be- tore the meeting so that the matters | may be studied. Alderman Falk said | this morning that it was not a law | but rather a suggestion.

The pumps forced all of the water from the shaft, and as it receded the water flowed from the upper levels down into the street, leaving only the mass of mud and debris. When the rescue crews reached the stope where the men were trapped, one of them was Jjust climbing down off an upper ledge, holding in his hand a tobacco can, in which he was attempting to catch water that trickled through the timbers. “We never gave up,” the men said over and over. “We could hear the drilling operations all the time, and that gave us heart.
