Another Mine Explosion
Takes Twelve Lives

Birmingham, Ala. Jan. 10
Twelve men are believed to have
been killed in an explosion today
in the Rock Castle mines of the
Davis Coke & Coal Company.
Thirty of the miners were res
cued.
Reports received here this af-
ternoon from the scene of the
disaster, 35 miles from Birming-

local, and while there is no hope
for the twelve men who were in
that part of the mine where the
explosion occurred, it is believed
all the others were rescued.

Labor Commissioner Huff will
have Gov. West, State Treasurer
Key and Secretary of State Olcott

eight hour law. Mr.. Hoff contends
that the opinion applied to all
employees of state institutions.
