Most Of Deaths, Men Being Found

miners, most of them being killed al

Twenty-seven men were at work in
the mines at the time, and whether
they were killed by the explosion or
died as the result of inhaling the
deadly fire damp is not known. A few
bodies recovered show that they were
killed by the explosion, but the ma
iority had their dinner pals with them
and were making their way towards
the main entrance when cut down
presumably by the fire damp. There
were two sets of brothers and a father
and son among those killed. George

clasped in each others arms, while
Frank Pavelick and his fifteen-year-
old son were also found in a death

Wickersham has decided that it is not
unlawful for the United States to deal
with the corporations recently de-

United States to be illegal combina-
