HUNDREDS MEET
DEATH IN MINE
Greatest Disaster in the History Of
Mining in the United States
Occurs in West Virginia.
Men Imprisoned by Tons OF Coal,
Rock and Mine Debris In the
Bowels Of the Earth--Three
Men out Of Entire Force
Make Their Escape.

Monongah, w. Va.-Three charred
bodies lying In the improvised
morgue, four badly injured men, and
493 men imprisoned by tons Of coal,
rock and mine debris In the depths
of the hills surrounding this mining
town, with the chances all against a
single one of them being alive, is the
most accurate summary obtainable OF
the results of mine explosion on
Friday, which, in all probability. was
attended by greater loss OF life than
any former disaster in the history OF
the bituminous coal mining industry
of America.
The explosion occurred shortly
after 10 o'clock, after the full force
two mines affected. These mines are
numbers 6 and s Of the Consolidated
Coal company. located on opposite
sides of the West Fork Of the river
at this place, but merged in their un.
foreground workings by heading and
on the surface by great steel tipple
and bridge
The finding of the three bodies and
the four dying men is the only re-
ward of the strenuous and uninter-
rupted work on the part Of the large
rescuing forces that Immediately set
to work at every possible point.
The three living men. while unable
to give any detailed report Of the dis
aster, state that Immediately back of
them when they began their frantic
struggle for liberty, there was large
number of men engaged In similar
struggle. while still further back in
the workings there was larger num-
Der. of whom they know nothing.
1t is the opinion of the mine Of
ficials and others familiar with min
Ing that these seven men had not
penetrated the mine as far as had the
majority Of the day shift when the
explosion occurred, and that they
headed for and reached tho main en-
trance before the heavy cave-in that
now blockades the entrance more
than few hundred feet beyond the
main opening Of mine No. 6.
