1922 MINERS Persisted.
Some Survivors Taken Out of the
Cambria Company's Mine at Johns
town, Pa, Friday.

eo"H' iiNcJ'
One hundred and twenty-five lives
were lost by the explosion in rolling
mill mine of the Cambria Steel COM
pany in Johnstown, Pa, last Thurs
day. Work has been resumed in all
the workings except the Klondike,
which will be closed several days to
assure perfect safety. Most of the vic
tins were foreigners, and Cambria
City, where they lived, was scene of
mourning on Sunday, when most OF
the funerals were held. According to
reliable data the accident made Ga
women widows and left us children
fatherless.
Over 50 bodies were found by the
rescuers on Friday, as the gas was
not present then in sufficient guam
titles to be dangerous and the work
was pushed rapidly In the early part
of the afternoon cheering word came
from the mine that life yet fingered
in some of the bodies found. The
rescuers made first for number four
left heading, which they had been I'M
able to reach the night before. Falls
of roof almost choked up the heading
but through and over the debris the
rescuers pushed their way. In an
open space they were startled by a
maniacal laugh that came from a
blackened form that rushed at them
out of the darkness. The man grasp
ed firmly pick handle and tried in
| his frenzy TO beat down his rescuers.
He was overpowered and dragged back,
| to the main heading to the cars. Thir-
teen other living men were found in
the chamber and physicians were
quickly taken to the spot. Four of
the thirteen died after being taken to
the hospital. Most of those who
were brought out alive had saved
themselves by crawling into a cham
Der and turning a valve on the com
pressed air pipe line which runs along
the entry.
The men best informed as to the
conditions in the mine differ in opinion
as to whether the gas was fired by
naked lights or by a blast, but all
| agree that this particular portion of
the mine was very "gassy," and there
fore dangerous. In fact, it was so
dangerous that there was talk of aban-
| doning it; but it so happened that the
| richest deposit of coal lay just there,
and the company was unwilling to lose
it. Nor need it have done so if proper
care had been used to secure ventila-
ton. 1t is often both difficult and ex-
pensive to ventilate a mine efficiently,
but it can be DONE and it is now seen
that it would have paid the company
to have done it in this case.

at Chicago, when the shorts, to the ex-

end, so far as the steel magnate was
concerned, The July price responded to
the settlement by a quick drop of 159i
cents to 65h. Later it recovered frac-
ton, and closed at 65R, substantially the
price of the cash article. The syndicate
expected to make several million dollars
but it is claimed that the men In the
deal became frightened and were glad to
close out so as to clear 81, 100000.
