MOST OF VICTIMS SAID
TO BE STRIKEBREAKERS
Bodies So Mangled That Identified
tion May Be Impossible.
BUILDINGS FULL OF INJURED
Army Hospital Corps Men Hurried
to the Scene to Dig Out
Dead and Succor
Wounded.

san ANTONIO. Tex. March 1s.-
Twenty-Five men are known to have been
killed. many more injured and several
buildings were wrecked today when the
boiler of locomotive exploded in the
local yards of the Southern Pacific rail-
road.
Eighteen bodies had been recovered
from the wreckage within two hours
after the explosion and more We're being
removed. while nearby buildings were
filed with the injured. The roundhouse
and copper shops were practically de-
molished, and many men working in them
We're hurt by falling walls
The army hospital corps here was
rushed to the yards, and police. ambu-
lances and Y. NJ. C. \. workers were or
Sanized into rescue bands to dig out the
dead and try to save the lives of the
wounded. So manGled We're some victims
that there seemed no hope of piecing the
fragments of their bodies together suffi-
ciently TO identify them.
Deemed Strikebreakers
The victims were said TO be largely men
who had been employed as strikebreak-
ers. Strikebreakers have been working
in the Southern Pacific shops here ever
since the sh'i,-,.en's strike began several
months ago. After the explosion rumors
in the downtown section of San Antonio
We're that dynamite was the cause, but
investigation at the yard showed no in
dlcation that such rumors had started
there San Antonio has been practically
free from violence during the strike
Explosion Without Warning.
The locomotive was standing in the
yards near the shops, and the explosion
came without warning. Parts of the
|roundhouse collapsed. and several small
buildings in the shop Enclosure were
wrecked. including part of the machine
shops. Engines in the roundhouse were
smashed as if hit with huge mallets. The
|roundhouse caught fire. The half-ton
Jacket of the exploded locomotive boiler
dropped Letween two houses on Duyal
street. several blocks distant. while the
tender was catapulted several hundred
feet and twisted into big. shapeless
chunk of steel.
A majority of the men who were killed
we're from northern and western states,
and much difficulty is being experienced
| in identifying the bodies.

terday from a weeks inspection of the
property, which he found, he said. In good

with the exception Of few odds and
ends, and believe that the month of March

in better earnings. The serious conditions
which the company has been facing for the
last two years have reached their climax.
and I wish 70 restate that now, after
have been over the property. I am more
firmly convinced than ever that the crisis
has passed. OF course. the greatest prob
lem at present is to reduce operating costs
To this end President Cotter has made
some changes in this department which will
work In this direction. II is not TO be de-
duced. however, that the property's condi-
uon will be neglected in any way shape or
manner. Il left orders for the expenditure
