A winter bonus of $3. longer working time weekly and Christ- mas bonuses were promised the men, who had demanded wages oi $8.50 weekly as compared with their present $2 and minimum three days of work weekly against two now.

The miners had been in the black pits for 100 hours without food or water, threatening con- stantly to commit suicide by wrecking the air and water pumps. Pleas that they come up and mediate were refused. Five arbitra- tors sent down by the government were seized and held until auth- orities threatened to dynamite the workings.

Lajos Molnar, 12-year-old miner who said he had been digging coal for 58 years, described the suffer- ings of the men during their more than five days below without food, water or light.

"The pangs of hunger msddened us to such an extent." he said. "that we ate out leather bSlLS and gnawed at our shoes.

"We couldn't even have the snail mercy oi sleep because the corridors of the pits are so narrow that we were forced to stand up on cedh side of the corridor."

“It was a nightmare we shall never forget."

He told how “men were placed on their knees (braced) against men in similar position on the op- posits aide so they wouldn't topple over." -

"Even so," the veteran miner continued, “scores collapsed from weakness. Helpless to rise. they were trampled on in the pitch blackness by their comrades.

Big Demand By Cuba For Tubers

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) HOULTON, Me., Oct. 16—An un- preoedented demand from Cuba for Maine potatoes brought encour- agement today to the distressed planters in " Aroostook County Maine's vast potato empire.

With the product bringing only b0 cents a barrel, less than the cost of raising, and 1s percent of the crop snowed under by lest Friday's storm, the outlook heretofore this season has been gloomy indeed.

But the central potato inspection office announced toda/y that the Cuban tariff on Canadian potatoes and a prospective duty on United States exports to become effecti .~ Nov. 1 has resulted in a sudden demand for 80,000 sacks of Maine “spuds".

Lost year Curbs bought most of its potatoes in Canada, While the temporary advantage which United States producers how enjoy as a result of the tariff on Canadian ex- ports will be reduced after Nov. 1, the duty on shipments from the United States is expected to be less than that on exports from the D0- minlon.

Mode Of Procedure Will Be Discussed With Maritime Pre- mlers.

(Q P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Oct. iii-Premiers of Nova Scot-la. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will once ag- ain place before a Royal Commis- sion their claims to increased sub- sidles from the Dominion Govern- ment in a series of hearings which open tomorrow in the House of Commons. Sir Thomas White, for- mer Finance lviinister, heads the inquiry body with E. W. Nesbitt, former member of Parliament from Woodstock, Ont., representing the Government and Chief Justice J. A. Mathieson of Prince Edward is- land the appointee of the Prov- lnces.

It is not anticipated evidence will be taken tomorrow but the Commissioners will dis- cuss with the provincial Premiers the best and most convenient mod: of procedure. In all probability the Commission will make a trip the capitals oi’ the three Provinces although there was 21 possibility that all the evidence would be taken here.

Premier W, .1. MacMlllan of Prince Edward Island was in 0t- tawa today nnd both Premiers Angus L. Macdonsld of Nova Scotia and L. P. D. Tilley of New Bruns- wick were expectsd to be in atten- dance when the commission meets at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. 'A1ppoinirm1:nt ofthe commission fills a long standing request made by the province following the re- port of the Duncan Commission which, after investigating the eco- nomic status of the Maritimes nine years ago, recommended immediate interim increases in subsidies to all three provinces, and an exhaust- ive inquiry in order to fix the per- manent rate of remuneration to which they were entitled.

The interim increases were granted at onoe and have been paid annually ever since but for one reason and another no action was taken until now to implement the further recommendation of the Duncan Commission for a spec- lal inquiry on subsidies.
