WOMEN WEPT AT SHAFT
Soldiers Stationed About the Opening

CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 26--Th danger
of an attempt to destroy the upper
works of the i'll fated mine with
dynamite has been reckoned by the
placing Of a double row of guards at
the top Of the main shaft in which
many bodies are being cremated. 1t
was hoped by the coal company, that
the feelings of the people had subsid-
ed sufficiently so that the troops
might be sent home touay but from
present indications, the soldiers are
likely to remain indefinitely unless
the mine Is again re-opened and an
other effort made to recover the
bodies.
II the mine is not opened promptly
1t is doubtful If It ever will be worked
again, according to the surviving
miners in Cherry, who say the big
shaft which is valued at 100000 is
hoodooed

at the st. Paul mine late yesterday
afternoon, following an all-night con-
ference of Chicago firemen, officials,
experts and state mining inspectors,
marks the end of the great Cherry
mine disaster The mine will be kept
closed indefinitely with the purpose Of
smothering the stubborn fire, and 204

workings may never be brought to the
surface
TO test the temper Of the miners re-
manning alive, Mayor Connolly allow
ed the saloons to operate openly. al.
though many became intoxicated
there was no Individual or concerted
act OF violence against the coal com
pany.
Although hundred women wept
and prayed at the main shaft entrance
as workmen began to mix concrete
there was no great disorder. Several
women knelt in the mud, sobbing and
begging workmen not to seal the
shaft. Sisters of Charity and Rec
Cross nurses finally succeeded in lead
ing the heartbroken, hysterical wild
ows and orphans to desolate homes
Federal and state, mining officials vii
remain in Cherry to make daily tests
with thermometers of fire conditions.
Depending upon the results of thess
tests, the shafts may be unsealed in
week. a month or six months.
Many men in Cherry cling to tn
belief that, with the sealing of tn
mine, living men among the nearly 20
still missing have been doomed t
death.
Mine experts scout the idea an
state that such is an impossibilit!
