ba Johnson, of the Baldwin Locomotive

day, changed his theory that the ex.
plosion at the Eddystone shell plant
yesterday was due to en- accident.
He now agrees with the view OF
Samuel M. Vauclain. president of the
Eddystone Ammunition corporation,
that plotters caused the explosion.
Although we have none but cir
cumstantial evidence" he said. "It
looks as If some one touched off
bomb or placed time clock with an
explosive attached. I have been con.
WINGED after talk with officials that
the castrophe could not have occurred
through accident"
President Vauclain said the famE
lies of those killed and injured would
be provided for by the company.
Revised list of fatalities placed the
number of dead at 122 the majority
girls and young women. Between 125
and $50 men, women and girls were in.
1ured. at least ten being so burned and
torn by shrapnell fragments that death
was momentarily expected. Twenty.

Commissioner Montgomery
Tells Result of Recent
Census.
THE WORKERS ARE READY
States Coal Will Also Be An
Important Factor in the
War.

As result OF census Just complet'
ed by the West Virginia Bureau OF
Labor under the direction of Commits,
sion Sam B. Montgomery, of the manu-
factories and industries OF the state
which would be available for the manu-
iacture OF munitions of war, 1t is dis
covered that West Virginia's contrt
button in the present crisis is larger
than is popularity supposed. Commits
sioner Montgomery, who is in the city
today after having been present at d
Pythian celebration last night, had
the following to say to West Vir'
gilman reporter this morning:
There are now operating in West
Virginia 1T Woodworking plants, en-
p,oylng a total of 31,870 men. 1t is
these plants of course which will be
the largest contributors. Three of these
plants alone, the names of which for
obvious reasons could not state, pro-
duced last year S20,000.000 worth OF
shells for the Allied governments. 9th
er plants not now manufacturing shells
can easily be converted to this pur'
pose.
There are also great many plants
manufacturing chemicals IN west VIZ
ginia. / would not like to say the ex'
act number The three largest OF these
plants employ 1,450 men and are turn
ing out great quantities of the cheml'
calls used in the guns shooting liquid
fire. and being used effectively by the
allies.
"Twenty-one plants in West Virginia
are turning out clothing and WOODEN
Goods, one plant alone employing l.
500 men. These manufactures would
he of inestimatable benefit in helping
TO clothe and protect an army.
"In all there are in the state 337 IN
dustries which can be operated for the
manufacture of munitions. 5S,S01 men
being employed. This number is very
considerable army and could turn out
great quantities of necessaries.
an addition to these is the great
natural reserves of coal, oil and gas,
there being 10000 men employed In
the coal mines exclusive of operators
and these men can be relied upon to do
all in their power. This Is also true or
the railroads.
are always called upon to make the
greatest sacrifices. 1t is natural that
they should abhor war but Just the
same they are loyal American citi.
zens the minute war is declared, and
there is no question in my mind but
that they will do all in their power to
keep open the channels Of trade and
commerce.
"There is now being held by West
Virginia operators, enough coal in stor-
age to completely coal every battle
ship of the great allied navy. West
Virginia coal in every test that has
been made by the government has been
found superior. We have the famous
smokeless coal which must be used on
dreadnaughts and We also have the
rich black coal which will make a
great smoke and permit torpedo boat
destroyers to make great smoke
screens for the battleships.
There is no question but that West
Virginia will be very much in the
forefront in the furnishing Of NUM-
tions for this war"
