Collapse Occurred at High School Gym Today (Continued from page one) on the grounds. The injured workmen were taken to the offices of the different doctors and medical aid administered. A crowd gathered at the scene and within a few minutes the superintendent in charge of the work roped off the alley and street so that the people could not go near the buiidiug. First Story Is Safe The basement walls and the walls of the first story of the building were not injured in the least as far as the naked eye could see. The Jar and crash of the steel did not injure the wails in the least, except on the top of the thrid story as stated above. Work Started Last MayWork on the construction of the building started last May, Charles Saunders of Portland having thgeneral contract. The trusses wer rected by the Indiana Bridge com party of Muncie and having comple ed their work the workmen and rep resentatives of this concern had n turned home several days ago. Will be Inspected Before work is resumed on the building the walls will be thoroughly inspected by an engineer and it ma. b« necessary to tear the walls dow, to the first floor before the buildin can be finished. Had not this acc dent happened the annex to the hig school building would have bee ready for occupancy about Novcmbc Ist. Harry Poling, brick mason, wa Handing on the second floor when th trusses gave way. The wo&d an Reel fell ail around him but the tw. fee. space on each side of him wa Hear and he was uninjured except so minor scratches. Luther Frown, brick mason, war ■ urking at the side of the walj whet he crash came and one of tire nine ton tresses caught on the bricks ter inches above his head, thereby keep ing him from being mashed to pieces Ho was also uninjured. A man named Bebout, whose firs< name could not be ascertained jump ed to the main building when the tress ■s first started to give which is : jump of about eight feet. He was no' scratched. Ira Poling, who was working on a Stafford and according to him, hr thought that just his scaffold was breaking. He grabbed for the wal which weaved back and forth when thi rash came. He looked around ami saw the mass of brick, and wood am' ■tee! below, him that had fallen. Hi was turned the wrong way however t< see the men fall. A ladder was hand ed to him and he aided in rescuing the men that were caught under the de bris. The two* colored men that wen vor king on-the building are both abl< to be about though they are both still nervous, they are not injured serious ly. Arthur Current who was in jarred was able to be about after beinj. :ared for by a physician. The tools with which the men were constructing the building were buriei ■ iidcu iiit- fallen material. They arc being recovered by the men who es caped uninjured. The water bucket was smashed to pieces but the tin cup which was in the bucket was not even dented. ———• MUCH CONCERN OVER SITUATION (Continued from page ono) strikes, confronted the senate today.

PROSPECTS FOR RAILWAY PEACE ARE SHATTERED (Continued from pa Ro one) part in the conference sincerely fegret that the representative* of the striking employes although definitely assured the substance of ull they asked for, were unwilling to agree to a settlement except under conditions which the railway executives were unwilling and unable to accept. “It was difficult to Imagine any fairer basis of compromise than the one developed in yesterday's conference and agreed to by the carriers' representatives, it must be assumed therefore that tlie present controversy cannot be settled by that method New York, Aug. 25 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Negotiations for -ettiement of the railroad shopmen's trike reached a crisis today. Before night, it is expected the md to peace will be cleared, or the ffort of the big four brotherhoods to nd th estrike will have failed. Another effort at settlement, was o be made by the brotherhood meditors this morning. They are making frequent trips back and forth be- ■ ween the headquarters of the rail xecutives at the Yale club and the Inkers’ headquarters at the Woodtock hotel. The brotherhoods yesterday were eady to wash their hands of the ask, believing they had failed but hey stepped out only for a short ime. B. M. Jewell, shopmen’s leadr, made another peace proposotion nd the brotherhoods, eager for setcment, carried it to the executives ate in the afternoon. Twenty railroads are represented n the present peace effort. If they ■ each an agreement, it is expected other roads will follow suit, and that the agreement will be accepted by more and more lines until peace is gradually restored, as in the coal strike. The seniority question, which has caused a break in all previous peace efforts, was again the big issue between the minority group and the brotherhood chiefs. Jewell, head of the strikers, reiterated that even though the executives of the twenty roads came to the terms of the strikers, it would not necessarily mean an end of the strike on their roads. He pointed out that he was against any settlement except on a national basis. In case an agreement is reached. Jewell said it would be necessary to put the matter of acceptance up to the policy committee of the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor.
