The perilous Iventure was made in a roadster :r the ties and stringers of the irida East Coast Overseas railway, lirty feet above the rushing tides, only route at present leading to ie island city, the drive, hailed by lorida automobile men as a rare exhibition of daring and sportsmanship, rss done to blaze the trail of the new rseas highway nearing completion, ind at times paralleling the railway, md to serve qs the first ear to ever implete the southern part of the rate of the newly formed Atlantic ital highway from Calais, Me., to sy West. Too, it was a grueling monstration of the very remarkable stamina of the ear. Nothing more or thrilling can be imagined than the trip over the picturesque viaducts. With but a clearance margin of four inches Nolan was compelled to race along to minimize bouncing on the ties. It was impossible to drive inside the guard rail as planned, and in order to keep on the ties Nolan was abliged to hug the left track rail, pushing the tires over the frogs. The automobile leaped crazily, sometimes six inches in the air, as it encountered the ties and it eeemed as if it would slip and olunge into the ewift running tides below. It bobbed like a ship at sea while crossing Channel 2 and Channel 5 to Long Key. After leaving Mate-euraKey the motorists were obliged to skirt the edge of the ties while a strong wind blew against the ear. For over two hundred feet a school of five huge barracudas paced the auto. miles after having For forty-tw- o Long Key the motorists drove over the viaduct at an elevation of thirty feet above the ocean, while scasleds from Miami paced the ear to pick them up in ease they plunged from the track. A flatcar filled with motion picture operators, newspaocr men and a rescue crew preceded the Automo bile. At Pigeon Key the motorists were greeted by a group of small chil-dre- d who live on the tiny island. The springs of the car, wrapped with deep sea fishing twine, stood up remarkably under the terrific bouncing. The track was built for railway trains' only and while it is so firmly set that no passenger train has ever been derailed while crossing the ocean to Key West, there is almost no margin for the safety of an automobile. At one time the left rear wheel leaped from the ties and hung for a split second above tlie gulf stream. The ear eame down with a crash that threatened to break the steering gear. At Bahia Honda four new tires had to be put on so severe had been the abrasion of the wheels against the rails. The first set of tires withstood a whole days run. At Big Pine Key a delegation of Key West citizens met Nolan and Good son and formed an escort over the completed section of the Overseas highway into Key West.

The declaration that the Pittsburg Terminal coal corporation was "aiding and tatting the Industrial Workers of the World in alleged efforts to destroy the X'nited Mine Workers of Auieriea, by iiermitting members of that organization to invade company rami, was made here today by Senator Frank R. flooding, republiean of Idaho, and rhairamn of the senate ininterstate eommereo vestigating the coal industry in this region. Members of the eomiuittee were questioning Horace F. Baker, the president of the company and which when flooding operates as heatedly said the firm was assisting the Industrial Workers of the World, deserihed by the senator as the "most dangerous organization in the world. flooding made the statement after Raker told the senatorial probers his firm would not negotiate a settlement with the miners union; would continue to operate oHnshop and would try to give employment to both union n labor. Raker told the and rommittee the company would not run its seven mines in Western Pennsylvania under the union conditions and n meet competition. "One of two things is going to hap-;x- n in America either the United Mino Workers or the foul Industrial Workers," Gooding told Baker. "The committee found this organization (I. W. W.) very active in your camps. You are aiding and abetting the most dangerous organization in the world. It ia seeking to destroy the mine union and the government itself. In the end the organization would violate all laws. The coal company head said he did not think the Industrial Workers of the World would become a "menace to' the public. Gooding then shot bark, Well, it may.' Senator Wheeler of Montana called Bakers attention to the interpretation placed on the Jacksonville (Fla.) agreement yesterday by J. D. A. Morrow, president of the Pittsfliurg Coal company. Wheeler said Morrow regarded the pact as "a mere scrap of paper. Baker stated' hia concern was not represented at the Jacksonville conference, but affixed its rignatare to the agreement at a later date. He said the company lived up to the terms of the wage scale until it ex oiled, March 31st, last. Baker refused to give the committee the names of railroads which contracted to buy coal from the company, saying he would do so before the entire committee in Washington, D.tC., when it launched its investigation into the bituminous industry. Baker, however, revealed that railroads generally paid $1.90 a ton for coaL The cost of producing a ton waa approximately $1.45, he said. The senators sought information regarding the railroads because miners officials had charged the New York Central, Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio had conspired to depress the price and thus lower wages of mineya. non-unio- n, non-unio- non-unio- DELVING INTO THE OPERATORS SIDE OF THE MATTER Miners Prevented From.
