Be Mine; Hope Is Abandoned ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., March 8.—One |hundred and seventy-five men, trapped in | Utah Mine No. 2, at Castle Gate, Utah, today iby three terrific pkdlosions from an unknown jcause, are all dead, according to the belief of officials this afternoon. No one could possibly be alive in the mine, \officials reported in messages here. At 1:30 p. m. black damp was pouring out F |of the portals in-such a deadly stream that— rescutrs. were, driven back and were being a, \compelled to remain helplessly outside until ‘more equipment arrives on the scene. Without a single survivor to give them hope, or a person who can explain the cause of the explosions within the mine, relatives of the unfortunates by jhundreds crowded about the gathering number of lrescue crews. Air shafts were totally wrecked. There is no |avenue left by which entrance can be made without jthe best of equipment for battling gas. : HEARTRENDING SCENES ARE WiTNESSED AT TUNNEL MOUTH Scenes at the tunnel mouth are heartrending in the ex- treme. There is not even the customary amount of hope ‘for those entombed in similar explosions. Guards have been compelled to fence off enough space to give room for work- men, as the mass of relatives surge toward the entrance. Fifteen rescue parties had arrived at the scene but no headway was being made and it was evident days probably would pass before all details of the disaster become available and all Lodies recovered.

Of course, Associated In- dustries deny they have indorsed anybody. But the boys on the inside KNOW. Does that set you to wondering? Are you mystified as to why Big Business backs John E.

So firm in their public ownership avowals and records that The rs hae indorsed them on its public ownership ticket It’s simple, dear reader. Carroll and Camp- bell led the ticket in the primaries.

It’s an old political dodge, this tying up of | candidates with alliterative names. For alliter- ation has a distinct advertising value. Big Busi- ness knows it, and often uses it to advantage. It is The Star’s belief, after investigation, that, in this crucial period of Seattle’s publicly owned utilities, the interests of the city can best be protected by voting for men who will safeguard public ownership.
