excluding the two great disasters at
Primero and Starkville, thirty-siX

The Primero and Starkville disasters,
Mr.. Wellborn testified, were the only
serious explosions which had occurred
in the mines of his company since he
became head of the corporation in
1907.
The testimony relative to fatalities
came after long series of questions
by James Brewster, attorney for the
United Mine Workers of America
touching upon Mr. Wellborn's knowl
edge of mine statistics in America
and abroad In the course of his
questioning Mr.. Webster declared he
thought Mr.. Wellborn too ignorant to
be the employer of 5000 mine work
ers.
In redirect examination Mr.. Well
born was asked by his attorney, Fred
Harrington, whether he felt any obi
cations to the miners who had taken
employment with the company, with
the understanding that they were to
work under open shop conditions.

phasis, II feel so much responsibility

Brodhead will take some interest
in this matter which should mean
much to the farmers. The fol-
lowing letter from Commissioner

dressed to that progressive farmer
and good citizen, Mr., J. H Barn
