There fba been more or less talk of some of ths fdltgrtatlfd' nonunion men., who were x-' remly anxloua to atrlke, about their com mittee "selling out," but this seems to hav amounted to nothing except mere re "criminations.

Orand Secretary and Treasurer Ronemua aald the men had no authority to atrik without th aanctlon of their grand ; lodge and. he Intimated very .strongly that this sanction would paver b given until more substantial reason for striking than had yet been discovered could be found.

OVtR HUNDRED AND TWELVE NOW DEAD List May B Swelled Soeaewhat, hat It I Not Expected May More Bodies Will Be Poaad. JOHNSTOWN, July 11. Th most hbr- rlble catastrophe of th Rolling Mill mine Of the Cambria Steel company, Is not eapable ot being grasped. Early tonight in Spite or conflicting reports aa to the num ber of dead, a eoreful and complete com pilation by the Associated Press ehows that 111 Is th extent of the list of the bodies outside of th mine. To this tutur explorations of the mine corridor may add a few. but It cannot be many. Almost all the employes who would have been In the mine at the time of the life wrecking explosion of Thursday are accounted for. Very few Inquiries for missing have been made .to the authorities or to th mine officials, and this better than any thing else demonstrate! the possibility ot many bndle still remaining in the death tomb. Th mine offlctale aay there is no se trying to estimate the number ot dead. They say they don't know and urge the futility of placing the matter on the basis Of guesswork. They express the belief. however, that all or almost all ar out of ths mine. General Superintendent Robin son came out about 4 o'clock, after a hard day's exploration. - He expressed hi conviction that not more than five dead bodies would be added to the 112 already known. Sunday will dawn upon the populous city of Johnstown prepared to devote Itself to mourning. Mor than a score of In terment took place today. Aa lat a 7 p clock this evening funeral processions with bands playing dirges and uniformed escorts at their heads passed through the streets of the city. After the bringing of the fifteen bodies to the morgue at an early hour today It waa commonly rumored that the mine officials were endeavoring to hide the truth as to 'the extent of the disaster. The development ot the day showed that theae susptctona were unwarranted. Consultation Over Mlae. At o'clock In the morning there was a consultation In the offices at the toot of, the runway from the Westmont entry, participated in by Mine Superintendent Robinson, Chief Mine Inspector Roderick. State Mine Inspector Evens, Mine Engi neer Moor an Assistant Mine Engineer Prosser. A large map of the mine was examined and explained to Chief Roderick. Many of the employes of the mine. In eluding digger!, trap boys, mechanics and Other were called In and quitted. Ths In qulry wsa designed to give Chief Inspector Roderick a preliminary Impression ot the status of things. Inspector Evans aald tonight aa to the future investigations "Those ot the company's officials .who were In the mine at the time of the explosion and hav survived will be called on to testiry. Until these men are able to be present at the Inquiry It win be useless to try to do anything." Alked a to whose duty It waa to take ear of the accumulation ot gas In the mine, Mr. Evana said: The Are boss, of course, but two or three of the Are bosses were killed by the explosion, and In th presence of death We must be aU6gether charitable and sus pend judgment." After - the : consultation at . the office Evan went into the mine with Robinson and Moor. They did not emerge until late in the afternoon.

Tht mean 17 cents an hour and a peilod ot probation for new men, Tb demand of the men wer II cent, tlm snd a half tor overtime aud no period of probation, all men to receive full pay from the start. The Northwestern road offefed 174 cents n hour, single time for Overtime for Men employed by tbe -day, but hot for men who wage are paid by the mcnth. Th Brie offered IT cent, single time for overtime snd no period ot probation. The Illinois Central declared that It had made an agreement with Its employes since the Inauguration of the strike and that It would' do no more, The men must accept that or remain on strike. Although It had been th understanding of the members ot the Board of Arbitration aad of the general manager ot the rail roads that the committees which were to rail on th railroad managers would have full power to accept or reject all proposal from th roads, th committees announced at , th conclusion of th conference that they did not possess thla power, but were compelled to report back to the officer ot the union They declared that they had been sent to the conference with Instruction to demand It cents, but If that waa found to be Impos sible to obtain, to take 11 cents, but even this must not be accepted until tha officer ot the union had been consulted. A general meeting of th freight handlers will be held tomorrow night, at wheh the advisability of accepting the offer of the Northewstern and Erie roads will b dis cussed. Teamsters to Hold Sessions. Numerous meeting of teamsters will be held,, tomorrow for the ourpose of calling a; ' atrik'' In' sympathy;, wjth the freight tiapdTers, 'but Ibe, pftclals ot the organisa tion;' declare that' no strike will be called by .the organltattod a long as they ban prevent it. While there may be no official strike ot the teamster, the condition I the same aa though one existed. The truck teamster refused today to accept freight for the freight houses and In msny of the wholesale houses they were Informed by their employer that If It waa impos sible to deliver the freight they need not attempt to do so. Tb railroads deprecate this attitude on. th part of the shipper. They, claim; that th atrlk of tbe team sters to' .a matter 'between their employer and the teamsters and It Is no matter of th railroad and they do not se why they should make further concessions to ths trsight hsndlers for ths eaks of pro ducing peac between th shippers and their men. Th freight handler ar now fully as sured of tb asslstancs of th teamsters. Whether a strik should be sanctioned by that organization or not an announcement will be made to call out the railroad switchmen, by asking them not to handle car of freight loaded by non-union men. It was announced at th Freight Hand lr' headquarter that thla had been done, but Grand Master Hawley of tbe Switch- mens' union, who Is In the city on busi ness, having no connection with the Freight Handlers' strike, said ha bad received no such request, and that under the rules of his organisation It would be out ot the question for him to call a strike, and he did- hot believe there' was any prospect of the -men going out to aid the freight bend terra. - The' national convention of 'Long shoremen la In session here, and Grand Master Keefe of that body said tonight that he had not been approached on th matter of a sympathetic strike, but that th freight handler could present their request to the convention on Mobday it they should desire to do so. What notion would be probable in such an event Mr, Keefe declared he could not guess. Railroad Hsk Btatenaeat. Th railroad, manager Issued the follow. Ing statement tonight:.

All the freight nouses sre open ana equipped for the handling of regular bust Ikeaa. f - it la reported that the teamsters sre about to strike, and that many of them have declined tO haul freight to and from the railroad atatlona. In this they are violating an agreement which they made recently with the merchants, with which agreement the railroads have no connec tion. At the time that agreement was en tered into a board ot arbitration waa formed as between the teamsters and the merchants for the purpose of eettiing any differences that might aria under their agreement The' chief controversy that appears to exist St this time is between these two in terests and it resolves Itself into a ques tion of whether or not the teamsters will carry out their agreement with the mer chants, ine ranrpaaa are riau 10 receive and able to handle freight and say that they are performing their full duty to the puniio as common earners. nee of th railroad companies to deal directly With their own employee at -any time.
