S124,OOO TO GO
TO MINERS WIVES
FROM STATE FUND

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 17.-Rescue
parties which labored in Commute
shifts all night are still at work to-
day endeav oring to recover the bodies
of % men buried under the tons of
debris in the third level of the North
western Improvement Cos. coal mine
at Ravensdale. 35 miles southeast Of
Seattle. An explosion in the mine yes
terday killed 81 men and injured three
others.
The course Of the explosion still is
undetermined, although it is believed
that coal dust was ignited by
windy" shot.
The rescuers were unable to reach
the third level by the main slope be-
cause of the wreckage and had to
break their way through an auxiliary
slope.
The force Of the explosion tore
down tlmbers and supports all
through the mine and the rescuers
were compelled to build new supports
as they cleared away the wreckage.
Approximately $124.000, it is said,
will be paid from the State Industrial
Insurance fund to the families of the
miners who lost their lives in the dis
aster. The law gives $4,000 for each
married man and a lesser amount for
single men.

to the rush of foodstuffs and war mu-
