 Even under normal conditions it would take A minutes to gain ac- cess to that part of the mine where the 6 men are supposed to be. With shafts blocked and perilous Connec- ting galleries made uncertain pas sageways, the rescue work becam" an extraordinary task, and one not at all certain of success.
 Many of the victims were young- sters Of from t6 to 20 years of age
 Among the casualties on the sur- face was young mother killed dur ing accouchement. Nine other per, sons were crushed 10 death by fall ing iron girders in house opposite the pit mouth.
 There still is considerable confu- sion as to exact number of those saved from the shaft after the eX- plosion, since rcScues were effected at different exits. Also many of the bodies are unrecognizable and the identification card system lies under the ruins of the administration building.

It is in use already, Secre- tary Hurley said, on engineering projects under war department su- pervision. Doubtless it would be ex- tended as much as possible to the federal building program which is to be rushed as an unemployment aid.
 3,5O0,000 Out of Work
 The administration is inclined to view the actual problem, one of aid- ing 2,500,000 unemployed. The offic- ial estimate sets the total out of work now at 3.500000, inclusive of a normal unemployment of 100000 covering foaters, disabled persons and other classes which do not work. This would indicate a dispo- sition to believe there had been no increase in unemployment since spring, as the census set the April total of those able to work and seek Ing jobs at the same 2,50O,0O0,
 The task. however, is further complicated by the summer-lo long drought, still unbroken in some sec tions, which already has called for emergency aid from the government, many states and the railroads. The peak of need for aid by drought suf- ferers all along has been expected to come in the winter with exhaus- tion of depleted farm supplies and funds.
