Officials of Consolidation Coal Co said sealing No 9 mine was completed early today, ending a weeklong trapping of 78 men while 21 escaped. The move cuts air flow, extinguishes fires, and signals likely loss of life. Relatives gathered at James Fork church as safety officials and union leaders warned of further explosions and urged stronger mine safety laws.
