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. Local Lcirion Post Holds Meeting Tuesday The Allen R.
