THE WORST JOB IN AMERICA


Speaking about cold.
Who was?
Everybody about this time in the year; but
anyhow, whether anybody was or not, that re-
minds U.s.
OF the worst job in the world.
And that's being lineman, a trouble shooter,
a climber of poles in the winter time
In our hot booded youth-we have never really
been warm since-we took winter OF it.
Say man, she's job!
The worst days and nights are the ones the
lineman has to be busiest, because there is wire
trouble, grounds" down wires, broken poles.
And you can't bundle up and wear fur mittens.
No sir you stick old mister spurs into yon
4Ofoot sleetcrusted icy pole and climb to the top,
and stretch out on tenpin arm, and "tie I'M the
farthest wire; while the wind blows 60 miles an
hour under and over, and through you, and you
do it with no artics, nor overcoat, nor n1uffler,
nor even gloves. @
Another pleasant chore used to be to make the
rounds of the arc lights in blizzard-flled night,
and tumble in the dark for the switch you could
turn off the current and avoid electrocution. Cen
orally you were handed half dozen teeth crack
ing jolts before the night was over.
The linemen and trackwalkers and their fel-
lows. who keep open lines of wire and rail commu-
nication across this snow heaped continent, de-
serve : medal day, and all the cash they can
squeeze out Of the boss.
The next toughest job we know of its being a
section hand in the summer time on the Mojave
desert where it gets 100 in the shade and shade
from Devils Canyon 500 miles either direction.
But nobody except Apaches ever tackled that
job.

THIRTY KILLED IN
Big Mine BLAST
IN PENNSYLvAN
Electric Wire Falls Into Carload Of
Black Powder Causing One Of His.
tOry's Worst Mine Disasters.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 5.-More
than 30 men were believed to have
been killed today In an explosion In
the Baltimore tunnel of the Delaware
and Hudson Coal Co., near Wilkes
barre.
Reports from the mine were that
approximately 80 bodies had been re-
moved from the tunnel.
Mine officials said they believed 81
other bodies still were underground.
Several men already have died at
hospitals and others are not expected
to live through the day.
Every morgue in the city has been
pressed into service and thousands OF
frantic women and children are rush
ing from one undertaking shop to an
other in an effort to learn whether
their loved ones are among the killed.
Today's accident is the worst in the
history of the anthracite coal region.
Prior to this Avondale, in which 1OS
men lost their lives, was the worst.
The explosion was caused by an
electric wire which fell into car
load of black powder. Sixteen cars,
carrying about 200 men, were enter
ing the tunnel when the explosion &C.
Cured.
Most of the men died as the result
of inhaling flames, but many were
blown to atoms and others were
drowned in trench of water that ran
along the side of the tracks.
Among the identified dead is Chuck
Corners, war hero, who returned from
France a week ago. Another is John
McCloskey, former pitching star OF
the New York State Baseball League.
The accident occurred at $40 a. m.
while the men were on their way to
work.
The explosion could be heard for
miles around. If it had been a car
load of giant instead Of black pow
der it would have blown away the
greater part of the east end of this
city.
BY 7 a. m. thousands of persons
gathered at the head Of the tunnel. AS
the dead were removed they were
placed on side hill The scene re-
sembled battle ground. Mothers,
wives and children rushed from one
body to another and many women
tainted when they recognized their
relatives.
