ASKS FOR AID.

At Monongah, West Virginia, five
miles, from Fairmont, at 1920 a. m,
Friday, December 6, 1907, an explo-
sion in \ Mine No. 6 and Mine no. $
of the airmont Coal Company oc-
cured resulting in the death OF APP
proximately $50 employees.
Monogah is a mining town of about
1900 inhabitants. This disaster has
destroyed almost onc-half of its bread
winners. Fully $50 widows and 1000
children are left without any means
of support. The most of these fami-
lies live in the Company's houses at
Monongah, the remaining ones in
various countries of Europe. The
Company has generously declared that
the families occupying their. h,"3"@
may remain until ct!ltf provision is
made for them, but operations cannot
be resumed at the damaged mines
until these houses are available for
the new force. Many of the resident
families will want to return to their
relatives in their native countries in
Europe. The other resident families
must seek a community in which they
can earn livelihood.
Aid must be given these families to
reach their new abodes and to help
them establish themselves; and the
families living abroad must be pro-
vided for until they can adjust them
selves to their new conditions.
AS near as can be determined at
this time almost $4,000 from all
sources has been subscribed. Upon
the basis of $500 for each widow, and
500 for each child under 16 years of
age, S175, 900 will be required, At
least $25, 600 additional will be need
ed to provide, on relatively the same
basis, for the aged dependents of the
of the unmarried victims.
The committee feels that basis
RAWer than the above will not be adj
ate to properly care for the needs
bereaved ones, and a total Of
300 will therefore be required to
ut the relief work on this basis.
lmittee begs to express its
gratitude for contributions
30 generously made, and to
Earnestly appeal for the further assist
ance that it feels is SO badly needed.
All checks should be made payable
to the Monongah Mines Relief Com
mittee, j. E. Sands, Treasurer, Fair
mont, w. Va, and they and all cash
contributions should be sent to him.

men is TO their social nature. The as.

for the use of the gymnasium. the ed
ucational classes. the bathing facilit-
les or other features. it attracted
most by that warm social atmosphere
which pervades the right kind OF an

other men with whom they come in
contact Without showy EFFORT he
tries to surround headquarters with
