The reports from the hospital state that while he is in a very serious condition, it is thought he will recov-l er. Many workmen are under the im- pression that the colliery is "jinxed" inasmuch as this is one of the many serious accidents which have occurred there. A few months ago Joseph Rhoades, a brother of the man injued yesterday, was struck. by a locomotive in front or the colliery and instantly killed. I Dancing Singing Entertainment Hattie's Broadway Entertainers The Shnmokin police have, been endeavoring to fathom the cause of the fight there evening in which three men are now lying in the Sha-mokin State Hospital and another in the city hall at that place.

Last evening an Italian by the name of Vitto Feudale called upon the course of his address, and it would be well if the committee would appreciate the obligation they have taken upon themselves. Dependent upon this conference is the securing of the bread and butter of thousands turnout the anthracite region." He then spoke at length upon the conditions now existing in the anthracite region and of the effect the conference may have upon their status in life. 'Huma'n equations cannot be measured in dollars and cents." he stated, as he told of the squalor now existing in the homes of many anthracite miners who depend upon the hard coal mines for their sustenance. He related facts which brought out in glaring trrms the hazards of the work which the anthracite miner is forced to perform, and of the high cost of Women's and Misses Summer Dresses at Big Reductions Children School Dresses at Special Prices VISIT OUR GARMENT DEPARTMENT THE IC IWAdlS men in the hospital in an ettort 10 secure some iu formation which would lead the police to the cause of the light and furnish them with sufficient evidence to punish the guilty parties.

Two Cirardville Men Are I tims When Naked Lamp Ignites Gas DIVISI I After the address of President Lewis, John I'hl, chairman of the Businessmen's Committee, took the floor. He explained that the coniinit-j tee of which is the head consists 'of interested and representative men of The communities which depend largely upon the anthracite industry for their life and progress. "The com- mittee is an informal one, and eon-; tains no one who is thoroly familiar with the mining of coal."

The fight came to an end when the residents sent a call for the police, who immediately placed all four men under arrest and sent I'apilio, Anastasia and Placipio to the hospital, and took MacKensie to the police station.

The police searched Papilio after the fight and found he was carrying a razor and a revolver on his person. The reports issued by the hospital this morning state that the condition of all three men is very critical.

"We should not permit our people to suffer if some other fuel can be obtained, in case of a suspension, the nation will turn to oil and coke as a fuel to take the place of anthracite. Every time a user of anthracite adopts a substitute, that much less anthracite will be mined. A suspension will defeat its purpose and it will impoverish the people of the region."
