Six persons, three of them buried in Ibo wreckage and later rescued, were injured. Searchers expressed fear to night thal other pedestrians, seen passing the building, may have been caught beneath the lons of wreckage, covering the sidewalk In places to a cl opt li of six feet. Smaller Crushes Occur. , Smaller crashes occurred at inter vals to-night aa sections of Hie wall which remained standing after the first crash, gave way. Other totter ing sections threatened tho lives of firemen and policemen who searched the debris for bodies In the glare of powerful searchlights. Only the ground door was occu pied, an automobile concern having its offices there. The injured persons were mainly employees of this con cern and workmen employed in re pairing tho building. Three girls In Hie automobile establishment wore buried beneath tho wreckage, but were rescued, suffering only from cuts and bruises. Bolleo to-night held back crowds in Broadway while workmen engaged in the city building department risked their lives in an effort to re lieve the weight on tho upper ffoors and prevent the sagging wall to tho Broadway side of the structure from giving way.

Doc I.-Tho United .Mino Workers ot'America will not stund for any reduction in wages, according to tho December 1 issue of the United Mine Workers' Journal. This policy is gluted In connection with a discussion of tho movement among employers throughout tho country for ll induction of wages in the various industries. In tho article John li. Lewis, international presi dent of the mitlers' union, is quoted as follows: '.'Under no circumstances will wo permit any reduction in wages ol the mine workers of the country. There is not goliiK lo be any return lo pre-war Wilges or conditions. Any reduction in wages is an economic tnistirko. lt never produces any good result. What tho mino workers have ?y we are going to hold, and wo propose to continue, lo make progress instead of going backward." The Journal, in part, says: "lt is absolutely essential that the union have a de fl ni to and substan tial policy and that t lit? membership '..?il stand behind that policy in a solid phalanx. And the most essen tial element in thal policy for the next two years must he that there shall be no backward step. The coal miners lillis! liol lose any of tho things that they have won through sacrifice and struggle, it is a well known fad that there is in tho coun try to-day ti woll-dellned and highly financed and ably-conducted move ment on the purl of employers op posed to IradftK unionism lo break down tho unions ..:..:! reduce tho workers to the open shop, low-wage system. This is one of the greatest dangers that now confront the labor movement, "The policy of the United Mine Workers of America on that subject has been made plain and clear to the world by president .1 olin L. Lewis. Ile has said that there shall he no reduction in tho wages of the coal miners of America. "There is thc policy of the United Mine Workers. In making that state ment Presiden I Lewis told the world what the United Mine Workers of America stand for. lt is tho unquali fied duty of every member of tho union to stand firmly behind the in ternational officers. To hold hack, to hesitate or to fall to give thc Inter national officials full support and co-operation would be an indication of division." WOMAN FACE MURDEH UH A ROE.

"lt brings relief to all of us who are trying to find a way to help the Armenians out of their dif ficulties. Mr. Wilson's acceptance is commendable and worthy of the best traditions of tho United States which have always boen a friend of Ar menia and taken the lead in alleviat ing her suu'erings. "The decision of Presidont Wil son ls not in any sense political, from my point of viow, and cannot nive encouragement to all those who wish to see the United States in the league. lt is simply a natural development of an old humanitarian policy." Dr. FridtJ, of Nanson, wWfr had heon ono of the first to boconio In terested In Armenia, and ls a mem ber ot Hie committee considering developments in that country, was rather inclined to pessimism yester day.

There's scarcely a farmer in Ulta country, within the rain bolt, but who lias .some land subject, ?nore or loss, to anil washing. The torrential rains of thc spring and summer, as they rush down the hilliseds and sloping fields, carry with them u heavy toll of the fertile top soil, leaving ditches and gullies in their wake. When this waste is allowed to go on unhindered, the land soon becomes barren and unproductive, and is tinnily abandoned. Field terracing has been found to be the most effective and permanent solution to combat this ovil. Ter racing Is no new method, lt has been carried on by the farmers in Europe for generations, but it ls only re cently that it is being practiced In the United States, and chiefly In the South and Southwest. Agricultural colleges, county demonstration agents and other agencies Interested In the promotion of better farming are now stressing the Importance of this work to tho farmers. Terraces and What They Are, Terraces are broad banks of earth, averaging four to twenty feet In width and eighteen inches In height, thrown up on a lovel and parallel ing each other around the hillside or across a rising slope. Bear in mind a well graded road, and you will at once conceive what a terrace ls like. Those terraces bold back tho water, causing tho most of it to seep into the ground and retain moisture for the growing crops, while the balance is allowed to run off gradually around the hillsides and escape by way of suitable outlets provided at the ends of the terraces. The top six inches of soil contains about 7"i to KT, per cent of the avali able plant food. The farmers cannot permit this soil to go on washing away each year. Terracing ls already hoing practiced extensively in some sections of this country, but in thou sands of counties the destruction of hillsides and sloping Holds is going on at an alarming rate, lt is time for the farmers and business mon to wake up and take the necessary steps to stop this waste. Look About You. The evil of erosion ls all about you. Don't be deceived. At llrst glance those washes just beginning to ap pear In the hillsides may not amount to much; but if allowed to go on washing, in tho course of a few yoars tho first thing you know tho whole hlllsido will becomo so badly gulliod as to be unfit for cultivation. Even abandoned gullied hillsides ? can ho reclaimed by torraclng, and by deop plowing and fertilizing, now soil can bo rapidly built up. Torraclng Is not oxponslvo. It is ostlmatod that tho cost averages $2 lo $3 por acre-much less than the amount spent each year on commer cial fertilizer that is lost by washing away. Neither is terracing difficult. Any farmer can do it. The most import ant tiling is to run the lines correctly. lt is best, to ask the county agent to show you how to do this work. Af ter the terraco lines aro located the rest is easy. All the equipment re quired is a farm level, a plow and a V-shaped steel ditcher-terracer. Terraco Now. Terraces should bo constructed in the fall of the year, and whero possi ble sown over with cover crops. Sucb terraces hold much better, and do not wash as badly as when made at other seasons of the year. Consult your county agont or get in touch with the extension depart ment of your State agricultural col lege in regard to this work. Don't delay. Start now.
