THE scorIELD TRAGEDY


The Philadelphia Ledger has this TO
say about the probable cause Of the dis
aster
IAN the evidence published thus far
In connection with the terrible mine dis
aster In Utah goes 10 confirm the theory
that the explosion was caused by the
ignition OF a quantity OF giant powder
intensified by the dring of the dust In
the mine. There appears TO have been
great quantity Of the latter suspended
In the air There would be, naturally,
in a mine OF bituminous coal, above wa
ter-leyel and therefore dry. while the
coal was constantly broken up and
agitated by the picks and shovels Of
hundreds OF wOrkmen. IN such a cOndl-
ton the dust would be almost as inham-
mable as powder. and when ignited by
the explosion OF the latter the whole at
mosphere OF the mine would be set
ablaze almost instantly. while the oXy-
gen being burned out OF Il. the result
would be the deadly choke damp The
men who were not burned 10 death IN
the explosion were quickly sunocated BY
this and hence there was no chance
FOR anyone not within immediate reach
OF the open air to escape alive. 1t IS
not necessary 10 doubt the statement
that the mine was we'll ventilated and
free from fre-damp. but these are not
the only things to be looked after In or
der to make the workings safe. II the
theory Just stated is correct, there was
gross carelessness somewhere Ia con-
nection with the powder"
|. The Pittsburg Dispatch takes this
view:
Like the explosions that have oc-
cured In Pennsylvania mines. It Is diff
cult 10 determine the immediate resp0n-
sibility. But ike the similar disasters
OF this State, IL may be assumed that
lack Of proper precautions IS 40 the
bottom Of q and probably insufficient
legal safeguards Whether the mine
was imperfectly ventilated or whether
some incompetent or reckless miner
took liberties with doors or lamps is
matter for the Utah authorities 20 de-
termine. Yet there remains for all the
lesson that mining laws should go be-
yond the requirements OF perfunctoy
examination OF the workings 10 secure
the safety OF human lie The require
ments regarding ventilation ana safety
appliances should be OF the strictest
I'M addition. the qualifications Of miners
should be fixed by law. irresponsible
persons ought not 90 be permitted 90
jeopardise the lives Of their fellows
