the attain of the carbullderi aa related
to the Union Pacific eipressing full satls
faetlon with the result of things and ap
proving the action of the committee and
local carmen, in, accepting the proposition

and apeak. :..
Mr. Ronemus will eiplaln the situation
to th various unions over the Una and no
difficulty In bringing about a complete re
conciliation la anticipated. The strongest
feeling now exist at North Platte, wher
the union forms a large element of th
town. Local sentiment Is said to be in
favor of do strike, except by a few non
union agitators, who are blamed with th
whole trouble among the carbullders.
Roaemas Makes Statement.
Before leaving th city Mr. Ronemus mad
this statement:
"I hav read th schedule as agreed
upon by th executive commute and th
Union Paclfio company ' and I believe It
to b entirely satisfactory. Th carmen
may well feel proud of their committee's
efforts In their behalf and owe to It thelt
thanks. Th committee waa well received
and courteously treated by th officials.
When all tb fact are understood by th
earmen ther will be found no cause tor
dissatisfaction." .'
An official if th Union, Pacific, a. wen
v. A. Jack of th carbulldera' executive
committee, declares that the trouble among '
members of this craft Is at an end. 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. Th carmen 'are "ell at work
' and there Is no Indication It further
trouble.
As far aa a atrlke of the earbullders Is
concerned It Is said to b a very remote
possibility. Orand Secretary and Treasurer
Ronemua aald the men had no authority to
atrik without th aanctlon of their grand

this sanction would paver b given until
more substantial reason for striking than

JOHNSTOWN, July 11. Th most hbr-

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

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. The work they did
while In the mln was to direct their at

that was almost impossible, aa it is one
of the best oroducrrs and from It U se

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.
