Unsafe Blasting Caps Cited
In Explosion Fatal 10 81
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG. Pa. April 10-A
State inquiry found today old and
unsafe" blasting caps may have
been responsible for the dynamite
blast that killed 81 men at the Le-
high Portland Cement quarry two
weeks ago.
Lewis G. Hines. secretary of Ia
Dor and industry, announcing the
findings of the investigation, said
a Hercules Powder Co. official COM
mitted "one of the most flagrant vio-
lations of safety that I or any of
the other investigators have ever
heard Of"
. He said the man transported 1,500
electric blasting caps, too old to be
considered safe, from Dover, N. j.. to
the Lehigh quarry to be destroyed.
After the explosion about AZ of
the caps were found, most of them
had been detonated. While it is i'm
possible to say definitely that the
caps caused the explosion, the pres
ence of these caps on the property,
in the vicinity Of this operation, was
violation of safe practice" said
Mr.. Hines.
ut is my opinion that if the caps
did not actually cause the explosion,
they were contributing factor"
