MINERS THEIR
ROCKVALE, Colo., Sept. 25—John
D. Rockefeller, Jr. visited this city to
day and went over the situation in
the mineR of his company with a repre
sentative of the miners union. The
union member was Louis Carrutti,
who acts as the grievance committee
for the union and who was one of the
strikers in the industrial war in this
section two years ago. The confer
ence between Rockefeller and his em
ployee was conducted in a friendly
manner, the young millionarie asking
many questions about the working con
dltions in the mines, and listening
with attention to Carruti’s statment of
what was needed to satisfy the men.
Rockefeller promised to consider the
demands of the men, and agreed with
the miners that certain evils should
be corrected, and extended a promise
of his support in allieviating the work
ing conditions.
DENVER, Sept. 25—The Interna
tional Executive Board of the organi
zation to which the Colorado mine
workers belong, held a meeting in this
city today. The recent visits made
by the younger Rockefeller to the
mines and shops of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Works, In which he is a con
trolling stockholder, were discussed
and a vote was passed asking the
millionarie to meet with the executive
committee and discuss ways and
means to better the working condi
tions of his employees. The Execu
tive Committee passed a resolution
inviting Rockefeller to establish con
tract relation with the union as the
best way of avoiding disputes, es
pecially if Rockefeller has the welfare
a
of his employees as much at heart as
would be supposed from his recent
public utterances.

LITTLE STEAMER CORWIN

The owners of the steamer Corwin
have now under contemplation the
plan of placing that vessel on the run

success which the Corwin has had
in bucking the ice in the Arctic and

'BIG ICE FLOES
ABE MENACE
NAVIGATION
The officers of the steamer Mari
posa, report that the big steamship
was forced out its rugular palh by
Immense ice floes from Columbia
glacier. The Mariposa took the inside
channel between the wreck of the
Olympia and the mainland to avoid the
great hergs which were floating in the
channel usually taken by steamers
entering and leaving Ellamar.
The officers believe that the unu
sual ice conditions must have been
caused by an earthquake, which
caused the big glacier to empty mil
lions of tons of ice into the bay as
the field of ice was extensive and the
bergs larger than any ever before
encountered along this part of the
coast of Alaska. Severe earthquake
shocks have been experienced around
Juneau and other Southeastern points
and the Mariposa's officers believed
that the disturbances had extended
to the north and caused the glacier's
to break loose
Captains of launches who have re
cently made the trip to Port Walls
report that the Columbia glacier,
which has always been very acive
during the late summer, has been
discharging immense quantities of ice
this fall, and at times the channel
between Glacier island and the gla
I cier has been packed with the floes.
They express the belief that the Ice
encountered by the Mariposa was car
ried out from the Glacier Island chan
nel by the high tide,
