Plea for Lives Failed Before Centralia Mine Disaster
A March 3 plea from 111 miners, including UMW president Jacob Schmidt, urged state mine officials to enforce laws at Centralia Coal Co No. 5. The March 25 blast killed five officers of Local 52 and many families, with notes found on victims hinting at hours of struggle before death. State authorities had ordered a reopening two years after hazards were found.
