CAPTAIN FLYNN
HAS DISAPPEARED
Government Investigation of Ground
ing of Dirigo is Postponed—Sever
al Officials May Lose Jobs.
SEATTLE, May 9.—The govern
ment Investigation into the cause for
the grounding of the steamer Dirigo
in Useless bay last Sunday night has
been postponed because of the sud
den disappearance of Captain Flynn,
who was in command of the vessel
when she struck and who was found
upon investigation to have been
hopelessly drunk when the boat left
Seattle and con'inued so until after
she was on the beach.
Captain Flynn was immediately dis
charged by the officials of the
steamship company when they com
pleted their inevstigation of the
wreck and the company is insisting
upon a proper punishment for the
captain, who thought so little of the
lives entrusted to his care that he
Would leave the Quartermaster in
charge of the boat and proceed to
get gloriously drunk.
^Several other officials will also be
dismissed if it can be proven that
they knew of the condition of Cap
tain Flynn when he started out with
the ship and failed to report it to
the port captain.
The boat was pulled off and is now
en route to Seward little the worse
for her trip ashore.
MINERS TO HELP
COLO. STRIKERS
United Mine Workers Union With
500,000 Believe Can Help by Con
tributing to Strike Fund.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 9.—The offi
cials of the United Mine Workers,
who have been considering the ad
visability of calling out the 500,000
members of the union in a sympa
thetic strike to aid the Colorado strik -
ing coal miners, announced today that
no strike would be called but that
the miners would be aided through
contributions from those who were
working.
The union offi ials assert that they
will keep the miners in Colorado in
funds and will see that they secure
strike benefits for ten years if it is
necessary to tight that long to bring
the operators to time and force them
to pay living wages and prohibit the
company store system, which has been
in vogue in Colorado and by which
means the miners are kept in debt
from month to month.,
,A request to the 500,000 members
of the union for funds was sent out
today and it is expected that a huge
strike fund will be raised.
