State Geologist Thinks Mar

By Inclusive Wire from The Associated Presi.
Johnstown, Pa., July 14. Operations
today wore started In every section of
the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria
Steel company except the. Klondike,
where the futul explosion of Thursday
occurred.
Thp Inquest will probably not be held
before next Thursday. No more bodies
were brought out or have been discov
ered nnd the mine has apparently heen
explored fully. Nevertheless, some
miners say that many bodies will Mill
be found therein.
Tho officials at the mine office .say
that the onlv place where- any bodies
may bo found hereafter is in the aban
doned workings, where some of the men
might have run in trjlng to escape
from the explosion. Thp tiacks In some
places arc still covered with rubbish,
and It is possible that sonic bodies may
be found under that when it lias been
cleaned no.
"With the resumption of work in the

but a few of thu dead yesterday, the
Intense strain has relaxed, excitement
Is dying out and everyday affuirs arc
beginning to resume their normal
course.
Harrisburg, July -14. Colonel 'Henry
C- Demmlng, of this city, acting state
geologist, hus written a letter to Mine
Inspector Evans at Johnstown, sug
gesting that' the apparent uplifting of
a part of tho state of Pennsylvania,
caused by the recent earthquakes in
Martinique and other islands of the
West Indies, may possibly have been
the direct or remote cause of the catas
trophe at the Rolling Mill mine.
Colonel Demmlng has also written to
Charles D. Wolcott, director of tho
United States geological survey at
Washington, D. C, calling attention to
several rifts of earth and rock that
have been found In Pennsylvania since
he made his report in June, also to the
record of the mercurial barometers In
the United States weather bureau at
Harrisburg that In May and Juno this
city and vicinity had been uplifted
nearly seven feet,
Up to midnight, no additional bodies
have been discovered in the Klondike
mine, although parties havo sj-ircehd
all of the several headings for unfor
tunates. Superintendent Robinson sayo
tho only place where dead men might
be found now would be In some aban
doned part of the mine, whore the
miners, In their desperation, might
have strayed.
In addition to the mineis who went
Into the Mill mine this morning, 330
more started to work this evening, and
by morning the full complement of
men will probably resume their labors.

of about $300 for every twenty-four
hours, this sum being divided on one
sldo between twenty-four railways and
on the other between 10,000 men.
The situation tonight is moro serious
than at any time since the commence
ment of the trouble, and at no time
since the wulk-out have the points at
issuo been so obstinately maintained,
Threa times today the freight handlers
sent committees to meet the general
managers, and three times they came
back without result.
The committee thut went to the Mil
waukee and St. 'Paul road came back
bearing the Information that they had
been tefused admission, and that their
former employers claimed that they
had all the men necessary In their
business, and that hereafter no depu
tations would he received from em
ployes who had gone on strike. The
officials of tho road declared later that
they would maintain this position.
After this had been discussed at the
headquarters of the strikers, President
Curran announced that the light was
on to a finish, nnd that hereafter when
the railways had any overtures to muko
or wished to do any business with their
employes, they would be compelled to
transact such business through the offi
cers of the freight handlers' union.
A meeting of n majority of tho pro
duce commission men of South Water
was held today and It was decided, be
cause of tho freight handlers' strike,
which Is ruining their business, an ef
fort should bo made tomorrow by the
commission men to haul their own
freight from the railway yuids. Feur
lug tho geneial tumult In the down
town streets, buch as followed tho
moving of meat In the. recent teamsters'
stilke, the commission men called upon
Mayor Harrison und Chief of Pollco
O'Neill and wcro assured that pollco
protection would ho given them.
