Drilling When Kxploslon Occurred The iioinvoikcis had been nt work all night. Those who were able to talk today said that they were drilliug holes in the iron floor of the "hip vvhcu the accident happened. Only one of the workmen escaped. This wns the foreman. He had left the ohteis for a moment to go to an other part of the ship. Two of the dead woikmrn and si of the Injured were iu the patrol wagon or the .sixty tilth nnd Woodland ave nue station when an n.xle broke and the wagon dropped suddenly at I'ront street and Kail-mount avenue The injured men were badlv jolted They were trans ferred to nn ambulance nnd taken to the hospital. Membeis nf the crew say that the disaster was caused by a spark fiomi one of the drills, which set fire to gas' in the tnnksi The vessel is a tnnkei and was used dining the war bv the government in earning gasoline to I'.u rope It in rived nl this port nbout a innpth ago and the tanks were emptv But it is supposed .that they still con tained gas. this being the only cxplnun lion of the explosion. The Interior nf the ship was badlv damaged and the ionr of the explosion could be heaid as far nwny as I'al inyrn', N. .1. liernhnrdt Nissen, one of the sailor, said: "The explosion awoke us and sent us hurrying from the ship. One man squeezed himself through a port hole to leach the wharf. The Span ish mess boy jumped from the ship, but escaped without injury. "Then we saw the itijmed men run ning out of the mess hall. They were all burning. They were living torches. "We ran to them and helped to put out the flames. The clothing had been burned from some of them. From others we tore off the flaming garments. " Kdvvnrd (tebber, n member of the crew, in telling his story of the explo sion, said: "I was about to leave the forecastle when the explosion knocked me down. I picked myself up nnd was one of the first to reach the deck. I looked about not knowing what had happened or where the trouble had occurred. Then men came running out of the mess hall. Their clothing was on fire and they were beating at the flames, trying to put them out. These men shouted a little, but did not make much outcry. Hut behind them ciiine men who were almost nude and badly burned. These cried out in the agony of their suffering. It was horrible. The men who were able to run out to the wharf scattered in many directions. One badly burned man, after nearly stripping Himself, hurried off the street. He said that he was looking for a street car that would take hiin to n hospital. Others like him started off, trying to taKe cart, of themselves. "The more badly burned, after reaching the wharf, collapsed nnd were carried to the hospital by firemen, po licemen or ambulance men. "One of the fire captains put two injured men in an nutoniobilc and hur ried off with them to a hospital. ", burned man, who had also been injured upon the head, was found run ning through (Ireen btreet." The Chestnut Hill shows no outward indications of the disaster. It is un scaried ubove decks. Iielovr the damage is slight T.lttle more is to be seen than two steel doors which were torn from their hinges, although one of the oil tanks may be injured. ,CHESTNUT HILL BUILT QWUCESTER YARD The Chestnut Hill, a steel oil tanker, is of 7000 tons dead weight, "R0 feet long, has a beam nf 50 feet i) inches and is equipped with stenm turbines and Scotch boilers.

Itight of collective bargaining. ' Itight of labor to choose own repre sentatives Freedom of speech, press nnd as semblage. Ttight of employers to organize and bnrgain collectively. ' Minimum eight-hour day with Saturday half holiday. . Payment of living wage. " Equnl pay for men nnd women. Prohibition of labor for children under sixteen. Nntinnnl conference board. Prohibition of immigration for two years. Capital Opposes Joint Bargaining Continued from rare tine tract upon which our iii-tilutioiis are fundamentally based leipiire that there, should be no interference with the "open shop." While fnir argument nnd persuasion are permissible, coercive methods nimed nt turning the "open shop" into n "closed union" or "closed nonunion shop" should not be tolerated. No emplnycr should be required to deal with men or groups of men who are not his employes or chosen by and- from among them. The Klght to Slrllie or lockout In the statement of the principle that should govern as to the right to strike or lockout, a sharp distinction snoiiiu be drawn between the employment lela tions in the field (u) of the private industry, (b) of the public utility serv ice and (ol of government employment, federal, state or ,inuuicipal. In piivute industry the strike or the lockout is to be deplored; but the light to strike or lockout should not bo de nied as nn ultimate resort after all pos sible means of adjustment have been exhausted. Moth employers and em ployes should recognize the seriousness" of such nctiou and should uc neici to n high responsibility for the same. Assail Sympathetic Strike The sympathetic strike is indefens ible, nuti-social and immoral. The same may be said of the blacklist, the boy cott and also the sympathetic lock out. In public utility service the public interest and welfare must bo the para mount nnd controlling; consideration. The state should, therefore, impose such regulations ns will nssiire contin uous operation, at the same time pro viding adequate mcaiiR for the prompt hearing and adjustment of complaints ond disputes. A strike of government employes is nn attempt to prevent the operation of government until the demands of such employes are granted, and can not be tolerated. The right of govern ment employes to be heard and to secure just retires? should be amply safeguarded. Training. Practical plans should be inaugurated in industry and outside of it for the trniping and upgrading of industrial workers, their proper place ment in industry, the adoption and adaptation of apprenticeship systems, the extension of vocational education nnd rucIi other adjustments of our edu cational system to the needs of industry as will prepare the worker for more MET DEATH 1 ' -''' i-1 a'- 1 . -, .vil s dSiHHBHHI9K'S9iHHHiHBi" m ty CAPITAL Production should not be limited.

John Spargo, nnothcr public representative, insisted there was much vnluable information in the suggestions, Secrteary Wilson proposed ns a com promise that each group be furnished a copy of the proposals, to be acted on as the groups deemed wise.

Concrete proposals for the pacification of industrial unrest having been pre sented to the industrial conference by the groups representative of both labor and the public, interest in the contcr ence centered today in the presentation of the program, which delegates repre- seating tho diversified interests of the employers' group have been at work on I ever since me contcrence convened. With five distinct industrial fields represented in that croun manufac turers, farmers, railroad management, bankers and trade organizations the formulation of a' definite' nroirram with which all might be satisfied has present ed a more uiincuit protjicm man tnai faced by the groups renresentinn- labor and the public, delegates havo pointed out. "It also has been indicated that the proposals to be presented by the employers group have undergone very careful preparation, with, a yiew to HUDiniiuuK man in mature iorm anu thus expediting action by the confer ence. luugnuB i , Aivxanner, managing di rector of the National Industrial Con- terence xjonrcj, vvnosc live delegates are embraced in the employers' group, had announced that the proposals to be submitted by that group would consist of a preamblo and twelve sections deal ing with the important principles gov erning industrial relations. There has been no intimation, however, of the character of the proposals. With recommendations of the groups representing labor and the public al ready referred, under the rules of the conference, to the special committee of fifteen, which is to consider them for favorable or unfavorable rep6rts, the proposals of the employers' group also will be referred to that committee, and there Js. therefore, a prospect that tho conference will recess today for per haps ,(en days, while the committee acts on the material before it.

' A vote was taken. The two fac tions xverc lined solidly against each otherthe miners voting in favor of the publicity and the operators .against It. The chairman ruled the resolution lost. TTnilnnnterl hvithis defeat, the millers introduced a resolution providing thnt neither side should issue nny stntement to the newspapers nnd that nil state ments should come, from the conference ns n whole, over the signatures jvf the chairman, nn operator, and tno sccre- nt-t a tnitinl Again the fnctiounl lines were sharply drawn, with miners voting "aye nnd operators "no." The resolution alio was lost. . , ,, Although the conferences are held as "secret" cmcetlngs, no difficulty is met In obtaining, after each adjournment, full data of what took place. . A representative of the miners said the workers feel thnt their cause would be helped if the meetings are opened to newspaper representatives, because they feel they can convince the public of the justice of their claims. The miners have set November 1 as the day of strike unless their demands are met.

T. Stotesbury and Congressman .T. Hampton Moore were the speakers at the Philadelphia Orchestra million dollar endowment fund campaign lunch eon at the Ititz-Carlton today. With .$224,505 already reported, to day's subscriptions nrc expected to Rtvcll the total to nearly $340,000, The campaign is only begun, according to Edward W. Bok, campnign chairman, and the results so far have been excel lent. "But it will take every ounce of energy that our more than 000 workers have to carry the fund over the top," he said today. "And it will take, above all. the willingness of the people of Philadelphia to invest in its orchestra Mark you, I don't say give, because when you ask people to give money it generally means for something upon which you arc going to spend the money given. But this $1,000,000 is not spent; not a penny of it. Every dollar is carefully invested under the terms of a deed of trust governed by seven re sponsible trustees, and only the interest on the $1,000,000 is spent on the or chestra. The $1,000,000 itself will be there twenty or thirty years from now. That'is why I call it an investment. "Of course we could raise the prices or tne concerts, continued Mr. liok, "but we don't wish to do that because we don't want to put the orchestra beyond the reach of the nverage pocket book. The orchestra isn't there to make money. It should remain nn educational force and that means the price should not be such that only tho wealthy can attend concerts. On the contrary, wc fehoulci- give some concerts nt lower prices than we do now. I would like to see the orchestra play for twenty-five tp seventy-five cents in houses injuri ous sections of the city. The people are full of music and want it." When the million dollar endowment fund is complete this dream of the or chestra directors mav come true. TIip cheaper concerts in many districts of tne city is one ot tne plans that will be worked out first. Dutch to Name Labor Envoys The Hague, Oct. 10.
