members of mine cars hurled in
rave-in on the 1,700-foot level in
the workings In entry IK, gave rise
to the belief that fire had followed
the blast which tore down sections
of the roof, ripped up racks
which “trip" cars are operated and
dismantled the electric wiring of
t\e mine, plunging the smoke-filled
depths Into darkness. The cause of
the explosion Is presumed to have
been a blowout shot, according !o
a statement issued Tuesday night
by Kemmerer Coal company.
The company declared in
statement that no fire had followed
the explosion. At the same time the
company announced that rescue
work was continuing and that the
final figures on the number of vic
tims in the disaster would not be
known for a tow hours,
PITIFUL I
Crowds of women and children
many of them made widows nnd
orphans by ' the blast, gathered
about the mouth of the shaft ns
the rescue work went on. Many
were hysterical. When "trip” cars
carying the survivors came to the
surface the crowd became^ almost
uncontrollable, rushing forward in
mad effort to find their loved
ones nnd Kemmeror police nnd vol
unteer workers experienced
greatest difficulty in keeping them
away from the mouth of the shaft.
Fully one hundred volunteer
workers ^were In the lower depths
of the mine searching for
bodies of the dead, nnd seeking
survivors.
Mine rescue car No. 2 of the
United States bureau of mines ar
rived here Tuesday from Rock
Springs, nnd members of the crew
Immediately entered the mine to
assist In rescue work.
The men brought from the n ine
Ivp were found in entries No. 27
and 20. Nearly nil of them warc
blackened by smoke and suffering
from the effects of the InheJaU.m
of fumes, although there apparently
had been little gas in the workings
after the blast.
Pitiful scones worn enacted about
the mouth of the mine, relatives of
the mon who came out of tho work
ings alive rushed Into the arms of
their waiting loved ones, while
nearby stood women nnd children
In deepest grief, fearful lest those
they sought may never come forth.
‘That being so. T
• America come out clearly
ively and strongly. This would
no way entangle m in European
airs. In this matter of the Ruh
1 the question involved in it,
should give our powerful moral
support to Britain. By so doing
il prove tho truest friends of
France herself. It is against all
our interests to sit. by and see an
other war in the making.
“The English are now pinning
ail their faith to what is virtually
an American plan—tho scheme to
have an international commission
examine the facts and report what
Germany can really pay and what
she should pay. This was ably set
forth in a powerful speech by Sec
retary of State Hughes last Decern -
• in New Haven.
My feeling regarding the League
of Nations is a mixed one. As at
should certainly have our backing.
?nt constituted every time it
a meeting the military powei
on one side of the table and
money power on the other.
The military power is Franco and
or satellites—Poland. Czocho-Slo
akin. Jugo-Slavia and Rumania,
whose armies she subsidizes. On
the other side sits the money
power, chiefly represented by C,
Britain. The League or Nations
thus becomes a scene of intrigue,
So sometimes I wish we were
in the league—If we were assured
that our troops would never have
to go to Europe unless our own
people so willed it, and If we were
assured that the European nations
would find no means of interfering
in the affairs of North and South
America. But then 1 have second
thoughts and am rather satisfied
that we are not in the league, be
cause for our representatives to
sit In with the wily old diplomats
of Europe is rather like an innl-
cent sitting in a poker game with
sharks.
“I believe In the World Court,
and think President Harding was
right. The World Court, too, Is an
American Idea. We have never be
lieved that the only two methods of
settling a dispute are either by
arbitration or by war. Americans
arc great believers in taking mat
ters to court rather than engaging
in a physical Bht about the dis
puted matte. So we should be pre
pared to take International dis
putes to court. It would he a fair
way nnd would he a way by which
Uncle 8am would he assured of a
square dead without having to use
his fists.
